The Intentional Web Blackout of the Middle East and Asia

"Faulty cable causes web blackout in Middle East"

"Millions of internet users across the Middle East and Asia have been left without web access after a technical fault on an undersea cable caused major disruption to internet connections."
""Technical fault?" Try "CUT." See next story down. And not just one cable, but TWO.

So, who would want web access to and from the Middle East shut down, and more importantly, why now?" -- Mike Rivero of What Really Happened

Something big going to happen soon?

"2 Communication Cables in the Mediterranean Are Cut"

"One cable was damaged near Alexandria, Egypt, and the other in the waters off Marseille, France, telecommunications operators said. The two cables, which are separately managed and operated, were damaged within hours of each other. Damage to undersea cables, while rare, can result from movement of geologic faults or possibly from the dragging anchor of a ship."

"Or sabotage..." -- Mike Rivero of What Really Happened
