Submission + - Something Fishy in The Middle East With Cut Cables

RudyHartmann writes: "I don't know if you guys have heard about this. But 4 under sea optical cables have been cut in the past week in the Mideast. Two were cut in Egypt, one was cut in Dubai a little bit later. And guess what? One was just cut in the UAE (United Arab Emirates). Some people have tried to attribute this to strange coincidences with ships dragging their anchors. Uh huh. Sure. Let me just say that the coincidence is too statistically staggering. All these cables have effectively cut off......you may have guessed it......Iran from the Internet. Their bandwidth has now been reduced to 1993 levels. That's like trying to drive while looking through a straw. In this age of modern warfare, one of the first acts of war is to blind your enemy. I cite the first and second wars against Iraq as a proof of concept. It has to either be the US or Israel that is setting up for something against Iran. Mark my words, this is no accident. Something fishy is going on."
