Your out because you've lost a grasp on the topic, and have no way of intelligently arguing your claims, it's alright, it happens to all of us at some point. Honestly you lost it once you started calling others' viewpoints pathetic, seriously grow up, is anybody who disagrees with you pathetic? Perhaps you should re-think your arguing methods, as of now they are about the same methods a 10 year old would use.
On topic, you don't know how easy/difficult it would be to shut down the internet, for all you know TPTB could have had the emergency shut down planned from day one and have made it as simple as the push of a button.
I find these types of panics humorous, man survived without the internet and cell phones for quite some time before, I don't see why would would all perish if there ever was a second time. Of course having this luxury removed would be difficult for some to adapt to at first, but we'd survive.

Thanks for your reply. I'm not talking about myself when I talk about it being almost impossible to just shutdown the internet, I'm talking about the people running the internet. The internet is composed by a VAST amount of contributing people, organizations and companies. Therefore to shut down the internet you would need to have an extreme amount of control over all these people which in itself is pretty much of the scope.

The 10 year old reference was attributed because you call anybody with a different theory than your own pathetic. Just because you don't understand the complexity of something, or see a possible way to achieve something, doesn't make it impossible. It just makes it impossible for YOU to do.
I agree the one button push may be a big stretch, but it was just an outrageous example of what really could be possible. While highly unlikely, you cannot present proof that it is without a doubt, impossible. *Just like I myself cannot prove that is IS fact*
That is an interesting point you bring up, about the ships being out there repairing the damaged cables on a regular basis. So from what your telling me the true connection lies within these cables which are being repaired, correct? So what if a mass order was given out to destroy these cables, that would be a good start right?
Talks about NWO and EMP's (in my opinion) are not more childish than your methods, "I can't do it, therefore it cannot be done". Please, don't flatter yourself. And I won't try to prove you wrong, unlike yourself I know what I am capable and incapable of proving. I'm simply stating things that could be possible, your trying to cram what you believe to be "the truth" down other posters' throats.

In your opinion, how many people would it take to cooperatively shut down the internet? Hundreds or thousands? Or Hundreds of thousands?

Or just set up physical servers out of their jurisdiction and set up secure information routes that are out of their control.

the internet isn't stored in one place, its so vast i think it would be impossible for even an army of hackers to take over the internet as a whole.
the only way i see the internet going down is if Internet Service Providers are told to turn it off.
there are only hundreds (maybe thousands) of ISP company's however your looking at billions possibly trillions of websites hosted on hundreds of thousands of servers.
quite the task.
