Fifth Undersea Cable Cut

Post by News Reader »

Image Fifth Undersea Cable Cut
Three undersea cables cut could have been a coincidence. When the fourth was cut, we we’re more than suspicious. One day later, another undersea cable has been cut. This has to be intentional. C’mon, aside from the RIAA hiring a seamonster to cut off music pirates in Iran, what are the odds that this is all random?

A fifth undersea cable has now been reported as cut, responsible for knocking Iran and a few other million people mostly off the interwebs. Things were already looking awfully suspicious when a fourth undersea cable in the Mediterranean was cut yesterday, and while nothing about a fifth cable being cut necessarily means some sort of sabotage is to blame, it's not exactly reassuring.

once is happenstance
twice is coincidence
Three times is enemy action

I think I called merkins on this when the third one got cut. It's not exactly prime terrorist material, but bat shit crazy merkin psyops types would do this, plus actually getting to the cables in the first place would take some effort. It could be the thing from cloverfield though.

It does look really suspicious for 5 to go in the space of a week.

I also find it interesting that no major news websites are reporting the 5th cut

Mother BBC Radio reported 4 of them on their Digital Planet magazine this week. I don't recall them wondering why all this would happen at the same time or the likelyhood that it's Dick Cheney in a scuba suit with the crowbar, only that it's really sad for the internets

Maybe Bush went for another colonology like back in July.
