ECON Just A Thought On Internet Shutdown

[Panner]

Everyone has to remember that if they would shut down the internet just about all commerce would come to a halt. Bills not being paid or sent out, stores closed since most systems are connect to banks and other systems, no stock or bond trading, and shutdown of all utilities such as gas, water, sewer and power. Those are just a few since everything today runs thru computers. Covid deaths would be a drop in the bucket compared to how many would die in a short time.

I think the Internet Shutdown is coming...... to individuals that don't agree with Satan's party in power.
I think they'll create jobs to search out the more vocal persons at first.
All they have to do is kill an individual's phone and Internet service.
If said person still doesn't shut up, then your bank accounts are frozen.
Still not done speaking out the truth? How about they cut your heat and power?
They're not going to cut everybody's, just the "conspiracy trouble makers."

If I were the bad guys I'd shut it down by region, so it appeared random

The first thing a enemy does is cut your communication's, then cut your supply lines, food, gas, parts, seeds. It's been a communist tactic for years! Don't think we're at internal war level yet? Better think again!!! Better plan accordingly!!!!

Even China doesn’t shut it down. They just censure, monitor, and kill those that do things on it against their terms of service.

THIS^^^^

I don't think alot of people have thought this through.

Banking, retail, logistics, utilities, gov services and health care are too dependent on the internet for it to ever voluntarily be "shut down".

What I'm wondering is, would the internet and other services be shut down to aid the Insurrection Act and take out of the deep state operatives, or could there be a reason to fear China invading Taiwan around the time of inauguration and all the political uncertainty. Maybe the rumors of everything going down would be because China wants our country to shut down and be in a state of chaos while they attack Taiwan, just as bumbeling Biden comes into power.

Since the internet is one of the silver chains of slavery we've willingly taken, I don't think they'd shut it down.

It's valium in the water. An amazing source of reward, punishment, control- remember one of the first pacifiers
they used when they caged us for COVID was free porn.
They'll throw in some free TV, and let us maintain our own slave quarters, using the digital dogs and whips to function as overseer.

Still, they'd do like most countries, I imagine, and shut us down from time to time during unrest, uprising or the like...
