Can we get a sticky mega thread on the internet outage. This could be major.

Just wondering if this is possible seems like the information is scattered all over the place, we need to stay connected.

Wasnt this predicted the other day as a false flag against the russians?

Didn't read this, but that was my very first thought when it happened today.

They're escalating things pretty fiercely.

They want to put the fear back into the American populace, just like with 9/11.

A fear that makes them chant for a POWERFUL leader.

Assange said theyre using this election to consolidate power. That's really how it appears.

Powerful leader = Trump ?

I was referring to Clinton, who actively threatens with war if she doesn't get her way.

I'm still expriencing some issues connecting to conspiracy blogs and websites with articles regarding a supposed leak of Obama e-mails...

Haven't seen anything on Google news searches(*big shocker there), but a couple sources (unknown if reliable) have been popping up when I use Bing. I click the article links but the pages time out before loading.

This, coupled with the current panic over the tweets about police outside the Ecuadorian embassy followed by the outage has me wondering what's going on and to what extent do I need to be concerned...

Mods... please create a sticky...

Hillary? Russians? There has to be some good theories on this one.

Mostly everything is back up for me, could of been a dry run. Doesn't seem to hard to cut our lines of communication. I expect more severe attacks down the road.

But nothing majorly important was interrupted. I couldn't order my coffee on my starbucks app and my kid wasn't able to watch netflix... No big deal.

Makes me just want to have good alternative internet accesses.

I second this :) Possibly this could be a long term event, maybe put some info about HAM radios ECT?
