ME about to go hot; Israel on high alert (debka.com)
Urgent: Cable Cuts Now Total Five!
From our "eyes open" and be ready for the ME to go hot, not only are sources in Israel reporting that unofficially folks are being told to ready their safe rooms, but we now see that telecommunications cable breaks servicing that part of the world are now up to 5!
"A total of five cables being operated by two submarine cable operators have been damaged with a fault in each. These are SeaMeWe-4 (South East Asia-Middle East-Western Europe-4) near Penang, Malaysia, the FLAG Europe-Asia near Alexandria, FLAG near the Dubai coast, FALCON near Bandar Abbas in Iran and SeaMeWe-4, also near Alexandria. " Source Link
About the drop in the price of gold today: Could this be a 'beat down' to let big players in on the cheap before something goes hot?? We're scanning for more 'telecom breaks' which might be a precursor to things getting ugly. That could be very bad for the equities markets as well...

Press Release
"samadamscw says: Anything more up to date.
The Bourse never went live. Does anyone have anything current as the expected launch date?"
Here's a link to the breaking news, not much just a press release :

Thanks
!!!
Heard part of the story on pulic radio.
I heard this Monday I think in public radio. There is also a story I found maybe here on our forums about this that I hope is not true.
http://www.whatdoesitmean...
Hmm
That is not a coincidence, that is strategic action. "Exactly" who is blacked out and impacted? The latest "push" to root out AQ in Iraq they just launched does seem to coincide with this but, I wonder, since the internet played a crucial role in stopping the "false flag" supposed aggression in the Straits of Hormuz by Iran, maybe this time they figure they can do what they need to do while the internet is blacked out and there will be no way to hear the other side of the story this time.
Just a thought..
Not True
Stop spreading false rumors. If you go to Al Jazeera (www.aljazeera.net) there is nothing about any cables being cut. Al Jazeera is broadcast from Doha, Qatar in the Persian Gulf (or Arabian Gulf).
Or you can go to the Ugarit Trading Company (www.ugaritcola.com) which is in Syria. They are both up on the Internet. Somebody is making this stuff up.
Al Bawaba
A 5th cable has been reported cut on Al Bawaba - dated Feb 5th.

Also check Internet Traffic Report - last updated 2/5 at 21:30. The Tehran router has been shut down 100%.

The answer/reason could be in Germany...
If you want the answer to this in detail it is on the forum somewhere the first time this issue was posted. Several of the techie posters explained where that site is hosted... I believe that said Germany??
iran isn't reporting
...the story about cut cables apart from if you search 'cut cables' in the search box of www.presstv.ir
-Although they are talking about arab backing and weapons inspection reports interestingly. (well known western reporter yvonne Ridley works for press tv btw) She is very credible.

US anti-missile ship to dock in Haifa--Jerusalem Post
http://www.jpost.com/serv...
Updated Feb 4, 2008 4:22
An American missile ship set to dock at Haifa Port on Monday is equipped with an anti-missile defense system that could be deployed in the region in the event of an Iranian missile attack against Israel.
The USS San Jacinto is an AEGIS cruiser in the Ticonderoga Class and was commissioned in 1988. It carries the most advanced underwater surveillance system available today and is equipped with the AEGIS missile defense system, which was developed by Lockheed Martin to protect against aircraft and missiles. The ship will remain in Haifa for three days.
While the IDF developed and operates the Arrow missile defense system, defense officials said Israel has expressed interest in the AEGIS and that last year, the Defense Ministry requested information on the system from the Pentagon. During the first Gulf War in 1991, the US deployed Patriot missile batteries in Israel to defend the country against Iraqi Scud missiles.
"It is possible that one day, if we are under attack, the US will send these ships to the region to help defend us," a defense official said. "Until then, it is important that we get to know the system, its capabilities and its interoperability with our systems."
The San Jacinto can launch long-range surface-to-surface Tomahawk cruise missiles, rocket torpedoes and standard surface-to-air missiles. The heart of the AEGIS system is the SPY-1A radar system, which is capable of detecting and tracking any aircraft or missile flying within 320 kilometers. The ship has participated in operations in Iraq and Bosnia.
Defense analysts said the decision to dock at Haifa could also be part of a growing competition between the United States and Russia over military control in the Middle East. Russia recently decided to reestablish its naval presence in the region at Tartus, Syria. In recent months, Syria has begun renovations at the port to facilitate the docking of large Russian Navy ships.
Anyone hear those drums
Anyone hear those drums beating?

Jets
For at least two weeks, maybe longer, I've heard the jets flying over the house throughout the day, every day. I do not live in or near a flight pattern for the airport. These are not commercial jets. These are fighter jets from an AF base in So. Ill. We occasionally will hear them when they are doing fly-overs at the local military cemetery, so I know the sound. I've even heard them in the middle of the night recently--which is very weird.
When I was living in Santa Fe, NM in 1980, for two weeks, we had military helicopters flying over the city all day. Then one day they were gone. Soon after the news broke about the failed hostage rescue attempt in Iran.
Now, when I see that kind military air activity happening with regularity, I pay attention.
Gaze border break
Over 350K palestinian refugees flooded through a break in the border from Gaza to Egypt. Militants then smuggled sophisticated weapons through the break as well. Looks as though a false flag may occur tossing Israel in all out War.
This we have no control over. So stay the course with this campaign. Become a delegate. That is KEY!
Can't be. It wasn't on the news! :-(
Not even here in Canada. I have been pestering our CBC to cover it.
They're cutting it so we won't know
what's really going on. They want the only word on it to be THEIR word, rather than have somebody else - who's LIVING the horror - send us the real and uncensored, unscripted info. SO how do they do that? They cut the only way for them to communicate to us. Then they script it all out and hope we're all sheeple so we'll believe them.
I think I'm going to be sick.
When is Isreal not on High alert..?
I fell over a cable in my house yesterday and it broke my surround sound speakers.. Should I be woried? Are they coming to get me? OMG.. whats that at the door? Shi.....
Transmition ended.. internet 1 cut.
Higher alert than usual, evidently
I was just reporting what I saw on debka, which seems to be a little more agitated than usual:
http://www.debka.com/
One or 2 cables could be a coincidence or caused by an earthquake. But 5??? In a week???
ME?!?
I thought you meant Maine!
What a
What a coincidence!!!!
Imagine that!!!
As the man said below, "move along, nothin' to see here....."
BTW,
My GPS want freaky yesterday. Last time that happened, we invaded Iraq. Just a happy thought......

Question is, will Russia and China
stand idly by and let the US do what it wants with Iran? If Bush really wants to fulfill Bible prophecy, he's on the right track.
It's too bad that he's dragging the rest of us down his megalomania road.
Dunno
mebbe they'll let Israel nuke Iran, so Russia can nuke Israel, so we can nuke Russia? Dunno.. it's pretty screwed up any way you look at it.
Iran is one of China's oil suppliers and all China has
to do to destroy us is start dumping the dollar. This will have the same effect as Iran going to the Euro.
Either way we are...
All the moves Bush is making will only delay the inevitable. We are headed for a financial fall. The only question is how hard and how long that fall will be?
Don't forget, it takes two...
to have a transaction. China can't "dump" their dollars unless they can find a buyer. The American dollar is so devalued right now that it might be tough to find a home for 1.3 Trillion (Walmart) bucks.
China could conceivably be left "holding the bag" full of worthless paper. I doubt they're gonna like that, not even a little.
Who was It?
An "unknown" player - speculated to be China - dumped "treasuries" in the Asian markets during 2007, causing long term rates to increase by almost 1/2 point.
Green Bombs
it's in nobody's best interest to irradiate perfectly good oil fields. But if Russia breaks out with the new green vaccum bombs...
Wasn't there some earthquake activity
in those regions recently?
Perhaps this might explain things:

Prepare to have your mind opened once again as you travel further down the rabbit hole. Aren't you glad you took the red pill?
Dunno
Russian intelligence is blaming the US tho.. they're actually flying patrols now.
The news about the breaks are really in relation to
Iran's attempting to establish international trading of oil in Euros and the threat that it will present to dollar hegemony. Look for the MSM to start pumping out more and more neocon propaganda in support of some preemptive attack on Iran.
http://www.globalresearch...
Yep
It's all about the dollar value... if a Euro standard starts in the ME, the dollar will decrease in value exponentially.
4 was quite disturbing.
5 is just beyond belief. It's either a warning or a precursor to war.
This can't be good?
This can't be good? Remember Bush/Cheney and company only have less than a year left in power. Things will probably start moving pretty quickly now.

"Iran was scheduled to inaugurate its Oil Bourse this coming week.
That probably isn't going to happen because all internet access in Iran was cut over the weekend (the undersea cables were chopped). This was mentioned on Wikipedia for a day... but now the article links and coverage have disappeared. ..."
Hmm, wonder if this could be why??

That's an old article from 2006.
Anything more up to date.
The Bourse never went live. Does anyone have anything current as the expected launch date?

The bourse was to go live by Feb. 11th 2008. Google it up. Tons of links.
Gotta protect those petro-dollars
Got a bad feeling.
How did this happen?
How did the dollar get backed by oil it doesn't own?
THAT is a long story...
but what it boils down to is that most oil now is purchased by everyone with US dollars. For instance, Japan has to purchase US dollars to purchase oil. (This is a simplified example) So, our dollar has value to other countries, because they need it to purchase oil. That's about the only reason our dollar has been worth anything the last 30 years or so. Now, it's beginning to look like the ME is going to uncouple thier oil from the US dollar, making it pretty much worthless.
Also, keep in mind that the whole ~oil shortage~ thing is BS as well... we actually have ahough oil under US soil and in Canada to last the next 200 years or so at current consumption rates. For instance, if we used our own resources, a barrel of oil woiuld be worth roughly 3 dollars. That equates to 25 cent a gallon gas, btw. However, because we basically have perto-based dollars, the US has for years bolstered the belief that we ~need~ oil from the middle east. We don't really.. we just need to make sure that we can keep them selling oil in US dollars.
Hope that helped... was a oversimplification of the process.
But now you see why we are fighting in the ME.. and why we will continue to do so until we can get a real president.
Bad URl

Sorry about that
Fixed it in the article.

It can't be anything nefarious.. that would be a conspiracy!
Move along folks.. nothing to see here....

Disagree Devon Saunders
Have never heard the US has enough oil to sustain itself for two hundred years before. Would love to see a link on that statement. Much that I have read said that oil in US and Canada is too tough to get to make a real dent in a real timeline to make a difference for the impending energy crisis. Please include a link if you can back that up. If you are talking about the tar sands, then yes there is oil there, but getting it is the hard part. Peak oil is not the contention that there isn't any oil left, its that there is a diminishing return to go get what is left, because it is hard to get out of the ground and setting up new rigs and drills will take years before they could produce even a few hundred thousand gallons, less than 1% of our current daily consumption.
