Internet Cables Cut-Prelude to War or Simply A Warning?
February 5, 2008
A single undersea fiber-optic cable carrying internet traffic accidentally
being cut once in a year's time is believable. 5 of them however within the
span of only a few days resulting in most of the Middle East being left in
the informational dark ages cannot be mere happenstance. The odds are too
extreme to even contemplate it being anything but a deliberate act of
sabotage, and particularly when Israel and US-occupied Iraq happen to be
unaffected by it.
As of the moment of this writing, 5 internet cables-buried deep beneath the
ocean floor to prevent them being accidentally dredged up by a ships'
anchor-have been cut, preventing most of the Middle East from internet
access. The cables provide 90% of the region's internet service and the
countries affected most by this are Egypt, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab
Emirates, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Iran. They have since re-routed
to older, slower lines and satellites, but overall internet service is slow
and in some cases-particularly Iran, there is no internet service
whatsoever.
The lines-originating in southern Europe and then snaking their way
southward to north Africa and then eastward through the Suez Canal and then
on to India are the communication, commerce and technology lifelines for
these nations. In a world where everything is dependent upon the internet,
from government operations to financial markets the devastating effect this
disruption could have on these nations is easy to see.
In all the media coverage of this event, it was hinted that possibly an
anchor from a ship was the guilty culprit. However, shortly thereafter Egypt
released a statement to the effect that video footage of the area where the
cuts took place showed no surface ship activity for the previous 12 hours
and added that these particular lanes are closed to maritime traffic for the
express reason of avoiding damage to the cables. Interestingly, none of the
stories covering this event mentioned (or even hinted, for that matter) the
words 'foul play', and this in an age where everything from global warming
to bad breath is blamed on Osama Bin Laden and his merry band of Islamic
militants.
Besides the everyday issues of news and information services, telephone
communications have been severely disrupted and financial markets have
suffered as much as a 70% loss in trading activity. It is estimated that the
earliest the problem will be fixed is the beginning of the 2nd week in
February, as it takes several days for repair ships to reach the areas where
the cuts took place.
As noted earlier, almost as if by some magical coincidence Israel and
US-occupied Iraq have not been affected while these other nations are
scrambling to get the lights turned back on, something adding even more
reason for raised eyebrows amongst skeptical people.
And those suspecting foul play have good reason for doing so. Besides the
fact that 5 undersea cables are cut within the span of only a few days,
there are strategic reasons for 'interested parties' to want to see such an
event take place. The countries most affected are all major players in the
current goings-on in the Middle East where the US and the Jewish state are
up to their eyeballs in skullduggery. The gulf countries were recently
visited by George Bush who tried-unsuccessfully-to rally them around support
for renewed pressure on a recalcitrant Iran, only to be laughed out of the
region. In addition, when asked recently by the US to increase oil output in
order to lighten the effects of a downward-spiraling economy, the OPEC
nations (some of whom were affected by the cable cut) refused. The Gulf
countries in particular are heavily involved with Iran in banking issues at
a time when Israel and America are trying through sanctions and other
pressures to isolate and economically strangulate the Islamic republic by
preventing other nations from doing business with her. The Gulf countries
are getting nervous about a steadily-declining dollar to which their own
economies are directly linked and are now openly talking about following
other nations that have linked their own currencies to something less
troublesome such as the Euro. Pakistan-the only nuclear-armed Muslim
country, recently gave a resounding 'Hell-no' to the prospect of US troops
operating on its soil.
In short, the deliberate cutting of the internet cables can easily be seen
as a shot across the bow by the US/Israeli hydra, a form of
low-intensity/covert warfare aimed at destabilizing them and making things
uncomfortable, as well as reminding them that if they don't play ball
according to the dictates of the New World Order that 'accidents' can
happen.
There are other possibilities as well. Since it is an established fact that
the Jewish state plans on eventually absorbing as much of the oil-rich land
in that region as possible for herself in the interests of fulfilling the
biblical idea of 'Greater Israel', the cutting of the cables could very well
have been a dry-run operation in monitoring the affected nations and seeing
where their weaknesses lie in the event of war. Communications are as vital
to a nation fighting a war as is the eyesight of a prizefighter in the
boxing ring, and if sand is thrown in his eyes he can easily be defeated by
someone half his size and weight. Likewise with tiny Israel, the 'David Vs
Goliath' who would gain an enormous advantage in disabling the
communications abilities of nations she plans to destroy in the same way she
destroyed the communications equipment aboard the USS Liberty when she began
her murderous attack in 1967.
Whatever the case, the fact is-just as President FDR once noted-that
'nothing in politics happens by accident' and 'whatever takes place does so
because someone planned it that way', and with the case of the mysterious
cutting of 5 internet cables within the span of only a few days, someone
benefited from it all, and, as usual, surprise surprise, it just so happens
to be Israel.

The Middle East Nations can respond by switching to hard gold-backed
currency
and give the flick to the Global Banking Cartel's bubblegum dollars.
I think this will be an interesting conflict to follow.
It doesn't make strategic sense at all. - Unless the Cartel has some
serious tricks
up it's sleeve, this could prove suicidal for the US Dollar.
Ofcourse, the Oil Producing nations could fall for that bluff but the
chances are runing
slimmer by the minute.
