Stop your anti fear mongering. We're ALL GONNA DIE!

Martial law, Obama, Trump, Jade helm, etc.

Dammit man, there's a delay for some posters. This is the real deal!

Unfortunalty, I was forced to get a smart phone last week. For two days I could not get my contacts to transfer over and every call dropped for some reason after a few minutes.

It was rather nice.

Martial law may be quite enjoyable, if you ask me.

Everything is fine up here in Ontari-OWE Must be an American thing.

I think it's a non-issue.

Some folks over-reacted to the lack of FB access.

North central FL, about an hour SW of Jax, all good.

Yes all good here in the Lake Okeechobee area of Florida as well. We had a heck of a storm earlier ourselves.

I'd like to hear more about that cut fiber line someone mentioned back on page two.

According to this article, the fiber was in North carolina and should explain that region's outage.

I dont think it explains the vastness of the outage. Looking into this.

I just got back online (not because of any interruption). I looked around the net to see if there were any updates. I did not find anything recent so I suppose it is business as usual. The thing is when things like this start up you just never know how things will turn out. If /when communications do fail there really is not much that can be done about it at a personal level. If done by terrorists or another government the power grid would probably be taken down also. Citizen Band and HAM radio may be an option but if it is an EMP event most of that type of equipment would be fried along with everything else electronic. Anyway, when I ran across the article I thought it might be a good idea to let the people here at ATS know about it. Take care all.

Thanks for posting that link CreationBro.

To see hack monitoring, check this site. (its safe)

The Norse site shows you graphically who is targeting who. Looks like China and Microsoft are in a fight... or were. probably a DDOS attack.

Langley was targeting someone near Niagara Falls.. whats up THERE? odd.

Wow. Reminds me of Space Invaders. About a minute ago it looked like the whole planet lit up.

Solar flares maybe? I've been getting a lot of notifications on them this week. I always notice I'm having issues when I do. Usually it's my internet that's affected but at times, It's everything

President Underwood? Are you playing games again?

EDIT: Props to anyone who gets the reference.

I spoke with a relative that lives in Wilmington NC that said the local news was saying people in the area lost phone service and internet . The reason they gave was a fiber optic line had been cut. Pretty much the same thing that the link CreationBro posted above. However it is hard to believe that it caused all the issue nationwide . I did not see it mentioned in the article that it had affected anyone but the Wilmington area. Storms, cut lines, solar flares? It could be any of them or something else completely. The MSM does not seem to be to interested but who relies on them for the real story anyway. I still have not ran across any new info but that does not mean it is not out there. I have not had any connectivity issue at all so far. It may very well be a non issue.

Odd......that much, all at once? No accident.

No issues where we live, that I have noticed. Wonder what's causing this?

Google is broken now for me.

EDIT TO ADD:
So are certain other sites. It looks more like a cyber attack by a state player than an outage caused by equipment damage.

Its not Russia. Its components within government seeding clouds today to create an ominous sky line and cause flooding. Its more threatening that way. Then in a show of force the opposition government was sent to put the entirety of government into stalemate by rushing the senate tonight. The plan maybe has people doing physical damage to infrastructure. They are probably using rouge intelligence resources to make a threat with a staged attack.

Die hard basically.

The first stage of an attack?

Russia. Not going to attack, but sending the message.

...right after we shoot down a Syrian jet. Message received

Again its really amazing watching awakened minds at work..

Something doesnt work, has to be hax!

Fiber cuts happen all the time..
Severe weather yesterday.
Human error.
Hardware fails.

Ask anyone that works in IS and any combo of the above happen frequently which brings things off line..

Nah..hax0rz doing bad things is more likely.

HOC coming to RL? Hahaha, it could be an improvement!

I live in WV and never experienced any outages. But looking at the maps it was always showing around me but never down in my area. How does that work?

I'm not in the US but for the last few days my phone's been dropping calls, texts have been failing to send or receive and dats been really slow or not connecting properly.. I thought maybe it was because my phone is a piece of # but maybe not. My girlfriends with the same phone carrier she's had trouble making and receiving calls the last couple days.

Not only that but the New York subway system has experienced a major disruption with their signal system. It began shortly after 6am local time. Still ongoing.

I had no problems using my phone yesterday I live in the North East.
