So we hear from politicians around the globe to be ready for 3 days (or more) without electricity, gas, water and of course... internet.
Given how trustworthy they have been in recent years, I question whether they are preparing something or they already have.
Now, imagine if we were off grid for 3 days, then internet comes back and...
Your bank balance is close to zero...
Your ISA has gone to a few hundred pounds...
Your mortgage is not £100k anymore but £200k...
Your private pension gone...
Do you have any proof of what you had before the 3 days shutdown???
I didn't, up to last night, so I duly started a screen recording, logged into every relevant website, saved balance sheets with last 30 days transactions and then printed them.
Screen videos saved on 2 separate usb pens.
Over the top???
Maybe, but with this lot being in charge, better be safe than sorry if you ask me.
What would you possibly be able to do if you had no hard evidence of your life savings, there was this shutdown and you found all of it gone?
Do you think the banks would be kind enough to believe your word?
 
Sorry, forgot to add: of course all of this will be Putin's fault.
Hints are already there: in recent days there have been several hackers attack from Russia... allegedly...
Bring the broth to boiling point, my mum used to say...
 
Pootin’s friends too. Cyber warfare is the new warfare. Will NA TO have the stomach to declare war because a lot of people run out of bog rolls. I only hope we’ve got something on them.

Don’t let them take your tin foil hat.
 
Wars will be totally diffrent. Countries are infiltrated already.
Countries will implode.

The Russians are everywhere. Nato and the Americans are where they need to be.

Mossad where in and amoungst the Iranian top gaurd and mixing with the top men.

Hamas & Hezbollah had loaded pagers

In the Uk we have Turkish barbers.

WW3 is happening

whilst some politicians may be approaching corrupt or evil they do not control the internet and there are many many layers to wade through
also worth noting the bad actors in government want the internet to function well as thats how they can do best at being self serving ;)

We have had Turkish Baths, Turkish Delight, Italian Pizza, French Wine, German Beer, Danish Bacon, Olympics from Greece, for many years and we have not had WW3 so far.

Your so right.... how did we function without mobile phones or get information before the Internet.. get about without satnavs and add up without calculators?

If it all went tits
Me , you and the DIY crew could all adapt back to basics if we really had to.

The youngsters would be fuçķed. ..

Thank god for the Turkish Barber. Otherwise we would still be hairy.

Waiting lists where sometimes up to 3 months in my town.(Pre Turkish Barber)

Since schools implemented a no phone policy it's going to be much longer than 3 days for the kidz who rely on it for social media. Some teachers complain they have to fund the initiative but if a parent can afford a smart fone for little tristan then pay up for a bag, sez i.

That's what I have been saying on here about our fridge outage in the summer - it was blamed on climate change as a cover story because the real reason -a putin hack would amount to an act of war.
