Das Buch Wer mitmacht, hat Recht!

It’s becoming obvious that this is not a coincidence.

Reports of the FOURTH submarine cable that got cut just came in.
Who’s trying to make ANYONE believe this is just a mere coincidence or unlucky accidents?

DOHA (AFP) — An undersea telecoms cable linking Qatar to the United Arab Emirates was damaged, disrupting services, telecommunications provider Qtel said on Sunday, the latest such incident in less than a week.
The cause of the damage is not yet known.

Of cooouuurrrssseee, yes! just! another! coincidence!

Tell that to whoever you like.
But this is beyond conspiracy, this is just too statistically improbable to not be deliberate.

There have also been reports that there were NO ships present at the time the cables were cut.
And even better, no one’s gonna fix it any time soon, because of the bad weather.

I was just posting how Iran got conveniently (partly?) cut off the Net four hours ago.

But now there’s even more!

Here’s the stuff to fuel the conspiracy:
US plan to launch Cyber Storm 2 early March.

Just let me quote some of the nicer key points of Cyber Storm 2:

• Imagined villains include hackers, bloggers and even reporters.
• Multi target attacks:
  1. Hacker break-ins at an airline
  2. stolen commercial software blueprints
  3. problems with satellite navigation systems
  4. trouble with police radios in Montana
  5. school closures in Washington
  6. Miami and New York
  7. computer failures at border checkpoints

What has this to do with Iran?

I sincerely hope nothing at all.
But be aware of the fact that on 9/11 there were large terrorist attack drills² happening during the attacks that “confused” the officials.
Coincidence! You say.
Well, there also were mock attacks staged during the 7/7 London bombings³.

9/11, 7/7, 3/x ?

Now they’ve scheduled a large cyber war drill for early March this year, and conveniently, just in time, Iran is offline.
No chance of grass-roots reporting, blogging, direct and unfiltered news from Iran.

If there were something to happen that seems like terrorist attacks and the government later uses it to start something ‘funny’...
...Come back and read this post.

History repeating.

Update! There’s possibly more to this story, read the follow up article.

Update! According to a comment Iran isn’t offline.
The problem seems to be local, since the University in Tehran is indeed still reachable.

It’s not just one or two¹ submarine cables being cut affecting the browsing experience in Egypt, India, etc.
No.
It’s three².

And it’s not Egypt and India you should be worried about…
No.. Not at all.

It’s Iran³ (local copy).
Iran is as of now completely cut off the internet.

Weird coincidence, isn’t it?
Who would gain anything from kicking Iran off the Net?
Well… think for yourself…
