How hard would it be to disrupt US access to the internet?
Advertisements [?]
Are there multiple redundancies or are there weak points that could be manipulated by those who wish to halt communication and to increase isolation and fear?

I have no idea of the companies, systems, and hardware involved. I have seen most of the east coast go down from a single power grid problem, and Enron create power embargo's in CA. I am hoping that if anyone wishes to thoroughly isolate us, that the internet isn't that vulnerable.

Tin foil? Sure, but I don't put much past these clowns. They are too highly orchestrated, and interested in taking opportunity to manipulate weak points. (We still haven't found out who sent those anthrax letters, or caught Bin Laden, if he's actually an enemy...they're useful as unsolved problems..)
