wow....that's pretty scary...not only from the chaos that might cause but the fact that they are thinking that deeply about how to paralyze the West while our leaders are worried about not offending them.

"Imagine if the internet went down for several days, I believe we would see significant power grid failure and potentially loss of emergency services," Mize tells IBTimes UK. "This could mean the failure of dams and flood controls, power and water distribution, natural gas distribution and control failure, and more.

"Perhaps the most alarming aspect would be to the financial sector. I believe that loss of the internet for even a two week period could cause enough disruption to financial institutions that consumers would lose confidence and this could be catastrophic to the markets. All of this could set up a chain reaction that could send the public in to a panicked tailspin."

Did you notice any issues with the internet, the days in question?

Every time I see a story like this, I see it be used as a justification for more control.

If they where to do something like this it could be detrimental to alot of people. I hate to think of the mass panic that would ensue if it was to even go down for one week. There is to much that relies on the power of the Internet.

electrical power, water, sewage, nuke plants, dams and hydro plants, almost all communication, emergency responders, everything...right down to your stupid Nest thermostat.
