probably but it will only partially shut down the internet

these morons don't understand how resilient the tech is... every week for a few months i was walking past a data centre that had two diesel generators

i haven't seen the installations associated with teh undersea cables here in Madeira but i can assure you that there is 5 different ways that messages can pass from here and if any one of them fails within milliseconds they start sending them in another direction that works

the undersea cables are not vulnerable to the EMP.

the installations that repeat the signals on the islands and under the water are not vulnerable to EMP, most of the actual cable runs on the land are underground and they fan out like the bejesus and many of them have inactive failovers that have zero power in them and many of them are housed under mostly metal shielding and are often virtually faraday cages with earthing

it's just not possible to shut down the internet

they can shut down people's brains, but they can't shut down the internet, that's gonna be really really bad news for their objectives

This is sort of what I've been thinking. They need it too, and would need it especially to coordinate whatever "it" is -- unless they keep up like a WEF only VPN or something. They'd need it to keep their existing digital id / cbdc stuff rolling. I think "it" will be something far more psychological -- like covid was. "Fear is the mind-killer."

But - I am speculating too. God only knows.

Yep me too, but it’s good to chat. Something is coming and soon with elections.

With you. We already know God wins. Bumpy from here to there, but if you're in the Arkthenn you will weather the stor safely.

i'm just saying, that to shut down the internet is practically impossible, the systems are designed to stay up and recover and adapt to connectivity and crash failures, and a lot of them even to malicious nodes in the network (most of the big silos like amazon, facebook, twitter, microsoft use byzantine fault tolerant database replication protocols ... yes like shitcoins ... and they will be hard to shut down too

even if they try to coordinate it, the channel won't be closed, it will just be... unreliable...

Appreciate knowing this! Thanks fren

Same, i know little of large systems so thanks. All i know is something is coming and it has to be big for their agenda to work.

no problem for them to fuck up all their owned firmwares and operating systems though

that is gonna still be pretty hard for those who use linux, that's a moving target they are gonna fail to break, i'm pretty sure, because the wide variability of what is actually deployed is infuriating for hardware support so i imagine hacking it is also probably painful

They're scared and desperate because they know the same thing we do -- God wins, they lose. Last ditch effort but they will fail.

Curious if you've seen any of the Cyber Polygon material. I've not parsed through it myself but they've been war gaming this thing for a number of years. And the WEF has been talking more about infrastructural damage than a complete internet shutdown. Their little promo video from a few years ago talks about the necessity in such an event to disconnect all IoT devices. Does that technically include home servers and phones?

Thoughts on this?

Also Whitney Webb has talked about an attack on the banks. You don't need to shut down the whole internet to cause mass panic. Just cut off access to everyone's bank account for a week or two and you can force a lot of draconian bills through on the other side of that.
