Urgent: Cable Cuts Now Total Five
Urbansurvival.com ^ | 2008.02.05 | George Ure

Posted on 02/05/2008 10:48:57 PM PST by B-Chan

From our "eyes open" and be ready for the ME to go hot, not only are sources in Israel reporting that unofficially folks are being told to ready their safe rooms, but we now see that telecommunications cable breaks servicing that part of the world are now up to 5!

"A total of five cables being operated by two submarine cable operators have been damaged with a fault in each. These are SeaMeWe-4 (South East Asia-Middle East-Western Europe-4) near Penang, Malaysia, the FLAG Europe-Asia near Alexandria, FLAG near the Dubai coast, FALCON near Bandar Abbas in Iran and SeaMeWe-4, also near Alexandria. " Source Link

About the drop in the price of gold today: Could this be a 'beat down' to let big players in on the cheap before something goes hot?? We're scanning for more "telecom breaks" which might be a precursor to things getting ugly. That could be very bad for the equities markets as well...

Worries in Israel

There's a small chance - but worth mentioning - that all hell is about to break loose in the Middle East wars. A snip from an email to me from inside Israel this morning notes that "in any case such a fast and prayer day as we are having today has not been called for since immediately before the second intifada."

Glad to see that you have latched on to one of my “new” favorite web sites. What is even more interesting is the linguistics team and what they have “discovered” that is in store for all of us in the coming months.

It is interesting when you think of the various world entities with the ability to find, target and damage submarine cables.

My guess is that it’s not a war getting set up — there is some blackmail going on here.

Pay us $100 million or we’re going to cut some more of your undersea cables — that sort of thing. If that was what was going on, we wouldn’t hear about it.

"China’s market crashed this morning."

As it stands now, China's only down roughly between 0 and 2 percent, give or take a little for various indexes. ...not really bad at all. Hong Kong's didn't crash, either, but some indexes there are down around 4 - 6 percent or so.

Japan's are down a little less than Hong Kong--not too bad. Taiwan, South Korea, Pakistan and Vietnam are up so far.

The story at that link is complete BS. Only someone who has never actually been in the military would believe that you could find more than just a few fringe types in the US military who would be willing shoot their own family members, or any other American without a damn good reason. It's always the anti-military left-wingers who think that US military guys are just brainwashed robots, instead of regular Americans.

There’s a 3-day old story concerning the safe-room preparations.

OPINION:

There’s always ongoing safety preparations.

Jews are hated as much as Christians in the M.E.

Before Christmas I was reading an article of the preparations
and information safety bulletins which would become
available and/or mailed out to residents after the
New Year.

Anyone who follows the M.E. knows the rockets
keep on coming from Gaza and usually into the Sderot (sp?)
area.

Everyone should be prepared for emergencies, just like we
should be here in the USA.

And then there’s Iran of course.

Oh, I know :) That was just the first link I ever put here from one of my sites (lol). The article clearly stated it was routine. I wasn’t trying to fuel the fire of suspicion, just noting more than the original article provided.

How have you been? Haven’t talked in a while. Doing alright on my end.
