now up to nine or more...
you'd be surprised how often trawlers, boat anchors, cable scavengers (yes, really!) and even marine life sever under sea cables... or maybe you wouldn't. no need to attribute to skilled malice (NSA taps from the undersea bay of the Jimmy Carter sub fiber splicing deck) what is easily accomplished via sheer stupidity or carelessness or simple bad luck.
after the third cut, and geographically disperse cuts along strategic routes services the same nations, the odds of accidental cuts have rapidly approached zero. http://www.cyberspaceorbit.com/ConnectingTheDots.htm """ By my count, we are probably dealing with as many as eight, maybe even nine, unexplained cut or damaged undersea cables within the last week, and not the mere three or four that most mainstream news media outlets in the United States are presently reporting. Given all this cable-cutting mayhem in the last several days, who knows but what there may possibly be other cut and/or damaged cables that have not made it into the news cycle, because they are lost in the general cable-cutting noise by this point... The evidence therefore suggests that we are looking at a coordinated program of undersea cable sabotage by an actor, or actors, on the international stage with an anti-Muslim bias, as well as a proclivity for destructive violence in the Middle Eastern region. The question then becomes: are there any actors on the international stage who exhibit a strong, anti-Muslim bias in their foreign relations, who have the technical capability to carry out clandestine sabotage operations on the sea floor, and who have exhibited a pattern of violently destructive policies towards Muslim peoples and nations, especially in the Middle East region? The answer is yes, there are two: Israel and the United States of America. """ such sabotage has long been possible and widely acknowledged, but this type of warfare leads to escalating attrition and is something no nation has every eagerly embraced. if this is the start of coordinated warfare against telecommunications infrastructure, god help the intarwebs... (no ones wins in these battles, it merely becomes a question of who loses the most and how quickly) enjoy the show gmaggro, it will be interesting. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
