3rd Undersea Cable Cut in 3 Days

Feb 1, 2008 (Click to Rate!) Loading ...

… really? We are doing just fine for 20 years, a mistake here and there… and then woopsie… 3 cables cut in 3 days?

Boat anchors!

… seriously? Entire country economies, security and banking infrastructures rely on these things to stay intact, and you are telling me these fucking things aren’t marked on every maritime map in existence, red-flagged, protected, alarmed and perimeter monitored?

UH OH, not boat anchors! Where would THOSE come from?! Especially in the OCEAN?!

Give me a break… 1 damaged line I get… 3 cut lines in 3 days? Ok now you are just being retarded… at least come up with a better excuse… like they were attempting to repair the line and something went wrong. Even that is more believable.

OK who wants to guess at what is really going on? I vote for the development of a global, centralized, likely US-controlled, monitored transmission backbone. But you gotta break the old stuff before you pitch the new idea right?

Any other guesses? Maybe a new law in congress to pass regulations that boat anchors can only be made out of rubber now?

(UAFF/ARM) — My sources told me today that this is clearly a message to other countries by The United States Government and Military that they own the Internet/World Communications and can shut them down anytime they wish. The Internet was invented by Tim Berners-Lee http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/, and is still owned and operated by The Department Of Defense. ARPANET / DARPANET.

The US is trying to stop the new Iranian Oil Bourse (commodity exchange), which was scheduled to open February 1st. This exchange will allow other countries to buy oil from OPEC nations in euros rather than dollars. This is a big step to debunking the dollar as the worlds reserve currency. When that happens other countries will no longer have a need to hold US dollars in their central bank reserves and will exchange the dollars for investments or capital in the US. This greatly expand the money supply and cause massive inflation. The US is doing everything it can to stop the creation of the exchange. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_Oil_Bourse.

Bob, thank you for taking the time to leave that reply, I had never heard anything official about the new exchange but knew the US was adamantly against it… Very interesting to know the would go to this level to stop it.
