You said — The article was noticably missing key elements like “why the cable failed” - only stating that “the cable failed, and we know what didn’t cause it”.
Yes — *that* is the article I read — the one that said, “the cable failed and it doesn’t appear to be a ship and we don’t know what caused it to fail.”
That’s exactly the point of the article.
To put in “porn”, “Israel”, “sabotage” and “conspiracies” — when the article did not mention them, or to attribute that to the Egyptians (when they never mentioned it; but supposedly according to you, they were definitely trying to “say that” by the mere absence of them saying it) — is — the *conspiracy-nut theory* in and of itself...
And that came from inside the heads of some posters here — and *not* from the article. I think we have enough “conspiracy nuts” as it is. There’s no need to read a conspiracy into every newspaper or online article by the mere absence of words (which they would have said, if they had a chance to), and/or the statement — “Well..., I know those xxx [fill in whomever you wish] and they’re definitely xxx [again, fill in whatever you wish].
There’s a difference between reported news and the kinds of conspiracy-nut-theories that come out of too much pizza the night before and the wild dreams that one had...

Clearly you missed my point and the context intended, but hey, this is a pretty funny post.

Title: “Conspiracy theories emerge after internet cables cut”
“Online columnist Ian Brockwell says the cables may have been cut deliberately in an attempt by the US and Israel to deprive Iran of internet access.
Others back up that theory, saying the Pentagon has a secret strategy called ‘information warfare’. “
Why are you trying to hide the conspiracy? Are you the “man behind the curtain”? ;^)
