Sabotage or Coincedence

The recent Internet connection glitch is attributed to Cable damage in the Sea. What is surprising is that in and around Middle-East there were five cable damages happening within a week. This looks too much of a coincedence. Was it a  sabotage. What do you think?

this site shows the first three cables were by accident...

this site shows that one of the cables was cut by an abandon anchor...

 but the biggest issue... is that when you cut a cable with an anchor...

 

you have to drag the anchor for awhile because unless you are using high tech equipment ... your not going to hit the cable on first anchor drop... and using an anchor to stop your ship is possible... but that is still not as easy to do to cut cables...

 

to cut a cable with a large vessel... you need a very large anchor... and you must be sure were the cable is and which direction it flows and then drag your anchor until it pulls threw the cable... which most anchors will dig in after a few yards... so pulling it will dig the anchor in so much that you have to abandon the acnhor...

hence the abandoned anchor... but

 

i am not agreeing with any of you as to weither or not it is an attack on the cables or an accident... because there is almost no way to know...

The Mystery deepens as Egypt rules out damage by ship

Egypt has already excluded ships as the cause of damage to the Mediterranean cables thanks to footage recorded by onshore video cameras of the location of the cables which showed no traffic in the area when the dama.

the sad thing is the media and internet can bring down people and economies just on rumors and speculation.

most likely come up with a very good theory that would work as well as what was posted earlier...and much more believeable...

you know..perhaps it was onefatamerican and abuamerican who helped Olmer, Bush and Sarkozy cut the cables and now are just making a smoke screen to get out of trouble...Inquiring minds want to know....

remember the UFO seen lat week? Maybe they were here to cut the cable!!! I heard from a taxi driver that he dropped off Olmert, Bush and Sarkozy off at Sealine and they all had scuba tanks and scissors. I think I am on to something......or maybe just on something. I still get my frequent flyer miles left over from the sixties.

abuamerican on at the same time..but you always post on the same threads...hmmm coincidence or luck?? plus I find it rather coincidental that both of you add American to your names...is that to add authenticity or validity to your posts??? if so, its certainly not working

and no, I never bury my head in the sand..but I also will not take things hook line and sinker when someone posts like abuam does...I just prefer to give benefit of doubt until proven without a doubt that its intentional.

It is easier to accept official explanations: you don't have to think. right Scarlett? Forget Chicken Little; how about a Big Ostrich? stick your head in the sand...its easier!

The internet cable cuts were not coincidence..just like when Bush visited the Middle East and then there was the purported near skirmish between the Iranian and US military in the Arabian/Persian Gulf. It served a purpose.

A report appeared in the press …..

 

Fourth Cable Cut - Iranian Oil Bourse Sabotaged

Iranian bourse was delayed due to Internet blackout in Iran, as the 4th international fiber mysteriously snapped. The Iranian bourse, which was scheduled to be launched in the first week of February, would have caused damage to already weakening dollars. Ships at Egypt were originally blamed for the cable damage, but the satellite imaging evidence showed that no ship was present at the time and location of cable cut.

The cable cut has reported to affect both Pakistani neighbors India and Iran, but has left Pakistan unaffected due to the extra link installed in recent years.

A full explanation of the Iranian Oil Bourse and how it will DESTROY the US economy and crash the US currency.(link http://www.energybulletin.net/12125.html)

 

Hence all the talk about attacking Iran and why Bush went to Israel to possibly get them to attack Iran. Well, Russia stated about 2 weeks ago that they would nuke anyone who attacked their allies, which Iran happens to be. So that took that whole idea of a straight attack on Iran off the table.

 

Hence the reason they are now chopping the fiber optic lines the week the Iranian Oil Bourse was to go live. They are trying to buy as much time as possible because the Bourse would have instantly crashed our economy.

 

Now since the traffic is being re-routed through the US, they are probably trying to infiltrate that bourse and hack it so they can bring it down at a later date.

Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape!

just prefer not to think of it otherwise...we can all make ourselves go nuts worrying about such things.

 

If I did that, I'd end up with the Chicken Little Syndrome...the sky is falling...

Scarlett, If it is a coincidence then as you say it is really huge. Five different cables at five different places. I think there must be some explanation.

it is a huge coincidence...but also knowing how irresponsible some folks are with ships, doesn't surprise me it hasn't happened sooner...
