One Internet cut explained, but four others still a mystery
1 hour ago
CAIRO (AFP) — A ship's anchor severed one undersea Internet cable damaged last week, it was revealed on Thursday amid ongoing outages in the Middle East and South Asia, but mystery shrouds what caused another four reported cuts.
There has been speculation that five cables being cut in almost as many days was too much of a coincidence and that sabotage must have been involved.
India's Flag telecom said in a statement that the cut to the Falcon cable between the United Arab Emirates and Oman "is due to a ship anchor... an abandoned anchor weighing five to six tonnes was found."
Flag -- part of India's Reliance Communications -- said repair work on the cable which broke on February 1 was continuing despite rough weather, and it was expected to be completed by Sunday....

2. "vengeful militant dolphins."
Bloggers have speculated that the cutting of so many cables in a matter of days is too much of a coincidence and must be sabotage.
Theories include a US-backed bid to cut off arch-foe Iran's Internet access, terrorists piloting midget submarines or "vengeful militant dolphins."
Never underestimate the US Navy mammals..........dolphins, whales and sea lions. I got pics somewhere

5. Anchors and other lost items...
So how often do ships loose anchors? Seems like a rash of them lately, or at least cable cutting ones.....
This shows how easy to mole at liberal sites

6. Used abandoned anchor to cover their tracks?
It seems very possible that a terrorist group would have left an old anchor nearby to have covered their tracks.
I don't believe it's safe to leave them unattended..............

I won't believe it until the whole incident is reconstructed with the aid of concrete blocks and chicken wire.

I just had an amazing session with a person who is able to channel...
Edited on Sun Mar-12-06 04:22 PM by I Have A Dream
the Ascended Masters. The session was amazingly correct for me, which was wonderfully helpful to give me the information that I need to continue to grow spiritually. However, there was one thing that I was told that I thought might interest some in this group.
I was told that many, many Americans who are currently incarnated had lives on Atlantis. (I've heard this other places as well.) What I hadn't heard was that both George Bush Sr. & George Bush Jr. were extremely powerful priests on Atlantis, and they were part of the problem that caused Atlantis to sink. I was told that both of these men were supposed to incarnate during this lifetime and become president to fix many of the problems that they caused during their earlier incarnations. (They were to be presidents that healed the world.) Instead, they used their free will to choose the opposite path.
I'm not sure how many people here believe in Atlantis. I personally do, and this was just amazing information to me. I wonder what the world would have been like if they had actually done what they had planned to do prior to incarnating. We can only imagine...

10. Very interesting.
But I can't somehow see either of the Bushes being evolved enough to be priests in Atlantis. They are both privileged incompetents who were put in their positions by family ties. However, I could see both Prescott Bush and Herbert Walker as being those priests.

14. Interesting...
In one of Ruth Montgomery's books many years ago, her guides talked about the war-like souls from Atlantis who were reincarnating now, and how they had destroyed Atlantis with their abuse of technology and their war-mongering, and that it was something for us to be wary of. Interesting to hear some specifics like this. And I do believe in Atlantis...in fact, I "remembered" Atlantis when I was very small. Guess I lived there once, and I guess that is why I have always had a visceral dislike for the Bushes. Soul memory.

Not a certified diver per se. Teh Rove however does hold a Masters Certification in the operation and maintenance of the VRWC's underwater cable management machines.

Cover your tacks is the secret creed of the ninja terrorist:"Never allow your opponent to know when he has been terrorized". :mental: :mental: :whatever:

Why? So you can claim the pictures were Photoshopped, the anchor is actually a white plastic patio chair, the cuts in the cable were consistent with those made by a SEAL combat knife, and the whole shoot was done in a secret CIA studio in Peoria, Il?
There is no such thing as "proof" to a CTer, just more evidence of a conspiracy. :mental:

So...
...when nothing happens during the course of this communication outage and the cables are repaired and service restored what will they say when reminded of their paranoid fantasies?

Why, they'll claim credit for it of course. It was their "exposure" of it, their "questioning the official story", and of course their ever-popular "speaking truth to power" that scared the perpetrators into going no further with their diabolical plans. :rotf:

They will not have time to be reminded. The VRWC paranoid fantasy generator is stocked through May of 2010. :cheersmate:
