What is going on?? It appears that a fifth undersea communications cable has been damaged. The latest...an estimated 1.7 million Internet users in the UAE have been affected by the recent undersea cable damage.

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.

I agree 100%. Felt that way from the beginning, too.

The media are 100% globalist controlled—merely a mass disinformation/brainwashing tool of the globalists. It’s a wonder anything true gets out at all.

Seems like it is time for an undersea disaster to strike...

Wasn’t there one shot in Spielberg’s “War of the Worlds” that showed an alien machine coming up from under the sea next to the ferry?

Don’t recall. Don’t think I saw that movie.

Certainly there have been large and smaller UFO’s seen leaving and diving into the sea for decades.

It is quite the scary movie, at least by my standards. Watched it again in HD the other night.

I am quite concerned about these cable cuts — such a concerted effort over a broad geographic area.

“Even so, the agency has been pushing ahead. At General Dynamics’ Electric Boat shipyard in Groton, Conn., the Navy is deep into a five-year, $1 billion retrofit of the USS Jimmy Carter, a nuclear-powered vessel that intelligence experts say will be the premier U.S. spy sub when it hits the seas in 2004. Among its many planned features, says one former official familiar with the project: state-of-the-art technology for undersea fiber-optic taps.”

THANKS TO SAMBA for the LINK.

Where is the USS Jimmy Carter right now?

They've been trying to get us into war with the Iranians for a long time now. I don't think it's the Iranian government trying to block their people from information. I think it's ours. I agree with you. I think this is prep for an invasion.

If the people in charge here are allowed to continue on the path they want, we'll be in a string of invasions for decades to come until they've accomplished their goal of an American Empire or until they've broken our country completely by bankruptcy or otherwise.

>>Almost impossible this is a coincidence, so whats happening here?<<
It was impossible at THREE.

I don’t know enough about who uses those lines to put much credibility behind what I am about to say, but here goes anyway:

Is it possible the US is doing it? Sort of a Pre-attack sort of communications stranglehold...

Oh, and I am quite fireproof... ;)

It’s Them doing it.

You know, the giant ants. Apparently they have left the Los Angeles colony in search of hiqh quality anthill sand.
