Fifth Undersea Cable Cut
News reports all over are reporting a 5th undersea Fiber cable cut. That's right, CUT!. It affects mostly the Middle East and some say Iran is hit hard.
Only Net based News orgs are covering it. WSJ is mocking anyone who seems alarmed as "Conspiracy Theorists" but admits there have been 5 cables severed. Something is rotten in Denmark. 5 Cables??? I've heard massive speculation. What do you guys think. Crazy coincidence or is Iran really shutting themselv es off. Maybe they want panic and fear in their citizenry. Maybe the US is fucking with them. "A communications disruption can only mean one thing...Invasion!" |

Pentagon: The internet needs to be dealt with as if it were an enemy "weapons system"
Go figure, we cut their lines, they cut ours, start knocking out satellites - we go back to the stone age, how much information is stored on electronic media.

WEBHOG!!! No, you're a web hog! No, you are. [cut to Granny cutting cable to house] This topic was started in a tongue-in-cheek mode. Being in the industry, cable cuts are very common. I just think it's odd that these five cuts continue to take out huge swathes of Internet. Before there were always back-ups (redundant fibers). The first two cut were supposedly done at the same time and took out a lot of the ME. It could be a ships anchor or the RIAA has contracted the USN to adapt their UW UAV's with giant Swiss Army knives to cut fiber to those anti-DRM countries like India and Iran.  |

Can just see it now schools of UWV's roaming the oceans cutting cables effectively shutting down all cable communications. Satellite killers wiping out the cans in orbit. And a bunch of people sitting around with guns wondering what to do.
