Right... I agree from a technical standpoint The explanation is not plausable. If you understand how the internet works and it's architecture. It's a star network... In other words there are multiple paths to any given destination.. so it would only go down for seconds and then it would heal itself. This article or explanation isn't holding technical water...

They are talking about the BGP protocol. One fuck-up can cause this exact issue and it is slow to propagate. Look into BGP if you are not familiar. Its a surprisingly simple and flawed protocol that relies on peer's to just trust each other for updates without much verification.

I think it was Iran that did something like this ~6-8 years ago to try to ban youtube.. Instead they ended up ddosing their entire country out of the internet because they updated an external route for youtube and ended up routing the entire worlds traffic for the company through their pipes...

cashless society

The sheep will clamor for it. Here's what they'll actually get:
1. 24/7 tracking via 'citizen id' of all spending and income, and by extension, whereabouts.
2. One-click impoverishment / immobilization of troublemakers and 'dissidents'.
3. Automated, un-avoidable taxation of all economic activity.

Cash is freedom; it won't be allowed much longer. It's already being stigmatized as something druggies, 'launderers' and 'hoarders' use. Those in control benefit from electronic "money".

I want them to upload their consciousness too. Then we can do something like this.
