(Headline article at bottom) As we’ve had supposedly accidental undersea cable cuts around Europe, the timing of this announcement is suspicious. You’d have to think they’re grooming the public for internet outages and cable disruptions. And this would go along with the WEF and their cyberattack warnings for major world disruptions in 2023, they said could happen within 2 years. And all navies have obviously developed capabilities to stealthily disrupt these cables, so why the public display of late? And as a lot of traffic can be rerouted, you’d have to strategically take out multiple cables simultaneously for any major impact. So what if there were a major push to get everything on Starlink, which they could have complete control of? And remember the satellites have the capability of establishing laser data connections to each other, and according to this Jan 1, 2024 article, the laser system is delivering 42 petabytes of data per day. And look at the recent launch snapshot below. Is Elon Musk a Bond villain paving the way for Antichrist?
SpaceX’s laser system for Starlink is delivering over 42 petabytes of data for customers per day, an engineer revealed today. That translates into 42 million gigabytes.
“We’re passing over terabits per second [of data] every day across 9,000 lasers,” SpaceX engineer Travis Brashears said today at SPIE Photonics West, an event in San Francisco focused on the latest advancements in optics and light. “We actually serve over lasers all of our users on Starlink at a given time in like a two-hour window.”

Beijing now has the power to disrupt global communications after scientists revealed a device that can sever undersea cables
By Stephen Chen
A compact, deep-sea, cable-cutting device, capable of severing the world’s most fortified underwater communication or power lines, has been unveiled by China – and it could shake up global maritime power dynamics.
The revelation marks the first time any country has officially disclosed that it has such an asset, capable of disrupting critical undersea networks.
The tool, which is able to cut lines at depths of up to 4,000 metres (13,123 feet) – twice the maximum operational range of existing subsea communication infrastructure – has been designed specifically for integration with China’s advanced crewed and uncrewed submersibles like the Fendouzhe, or Striver, and the Haidou series.
Developed by the China Ship Scientific Research Centre (CSSRC) and its affiliated State Key Laboratory of Deep-sea Manned Vehicles, the device targets armoured cables – layered with steel, rubber and polymer sheaths – that underpin 95 per cent of global data transmission.
While it was created as a tool for civilian salvage and seabed mining, the dual-use potential of the tool could send alarm bells ringing for other nations.
For example, cutting cables near strategic chokepoints such as Guam, which is a linchpin of the US military’s second island chain, a defence strategy used to contain China, the tool could essentially destabilise global communications during a geopolitical crisis.
