At the moment, folks, Iran is cut off from the world via the
internet. Three undersea communications cables have been cut, two in
the Mediterranean on Wednesday and 1off Dubai today. It may take 10
- 14 days to repair them.

Zero internet activity out of Iran.

One I would believe is a freak fishing boat, but not 3. It was only one
yesterday, now another 2 the very next day? Something's fishy, if you
don't mind the pun. ^_^

An American submarine making sure there'll be no internet cafe service
out of Tehran or Bushir until the bombing's over with.

They release highly trained gigantic crabs to do the deed.

Cut cables off coast of Egypt cause outage across the mideast to India.
Earth Tremors most likely. There is a convergence of 3 tectonic plates
right in that area.

Well in the effort to expand the universe of conspiracy theories.

AS RIGHT BEFORE 9/11, PATSY NATION'S INTERNET CUT OFF

WHAT'S UP PEOPLE??!!

If the Bush administration is following their usual method of
operation, something big is in the works. These acts of cutting off
the patsy nation of Iran from their internet connections to the rest
of the world may just be Bush's insurance that there can be no
protest, nor denial, when the blame gets pinned on Iran for some
impending new false-flag disaster/attack.

Just like right before 9/11.

That's an entirely reasonable explanation.

This one even has maps, interesting read as to the positions of the
cuts.

2nd FLAG Undersea Cable Cut, Now Between UAE and Oman

http://mathaba.net/rss/?x=580589

The only 2 countries that were unaffected were Israel and Iraq, the
only two close Anglo-American allies in the region, both remaining
completely unaffected by the cable cuts, leading to theories for the
causes of the cuts, which have so far been given as having been caused
by ships dragging their anchors across the cables. The fact that two
rare incidents have happened in the same week, and both with cables
owned by the same company, on either sides of Israel and the
importance of the Internet to telecommunications and business, lends
suspicion to the events.

Agency reports state that a FLAG official in India, speaking on
condition of anonymity because of company policy, said workers were
still trying to determine how the Persian Gulf cable was cut. Earlier
Friday, FLAG said that a repair ship was expected to arrive Tuesday at
the site of the damaged cables off the coast of Alexandria, and that
repair work would likely take a week, but gave no explanation why
repairs would take so long.

You know, Randy, it occurred to me today, just simply lost in paranoia
free reverie, that one way to cover and shift responsibility for any
economic debacle that might come our way would be to have a few worst
case terror attacks in different parts of the world. You could kill a
number of birds with that rock.

Not that I'd go dig a hole in the back yard over that idea.

Interesting times indeed..................
