They're just now figuring this out?

The Christmas Day bombing in downtown Nashville led to phone and data service outages and disruptions over hundreds of miles in the southern U.S., raising new concerns about the vulnerability of U.S. communications.

Hell, for a couple days afterwards, it was almost like being back in the 1980s and 90s - nobody was walking into traffic staring at their phones, people were paying with cash, and strangers were actually making eye contact and talking with each other.

  1. Crazy fuckers. Potential long term one will be a hell of an education on the masses. Wonder when and where it will be. Hope I'm ready.

  2. I still think that the disruptioin of communications was the real goal, and something else happened while tey were out.....like something got broken into and the alarm could not go off....SOmewhere there is a safe door hanging open.

    1. I came to the very same conclusion. It sure didn't seem like a cabal operation either considering how much warning was given before detonation. But then again, there's so much bullshit going on around here that stinks to high heaven that nothing surprises me anymore.

  3. I think it was a distraction to keep media from reporting the same day fire in Rochester New York that destroyed the print shop where thousands of voting ballots were made.

  4. I think it just showed the rest of us that you can cause mayhem and NOT hurt anyone in the process.

    1. Not hurt anyone directly, maybe, but there would be second and third order stuff that could easily hurt lots of people (i.e., Granny's Lifealert suddenly doesn't work, etc.)

  5. Whenever AT&T hauls in mobile antennae and boosters the cell service quality goes way up-places that normally don't have service suddenly are good to go, at least until the emergency equipment goes home. After a large forest fire in my area the cell service was fantastic for another 9 months; bummer when it went back to normal.
