When Obama came to visit...
our local internet went down.
I was surfing the web right before my lunch break. The internet suddenly went out on the computers at work. We thought it was just our connection or service provider. So I left, and went to join the crowd waiting to see Obama's motorcade come in. I saw an AWACs aiplane, a 747 I think it was, with a radome on top of it flying overhead. They some security vehicles drove around in circles in the street in front of us. Then Obama rode by, didn't wave or anything, but we saw him. I stopped off at a convenience store on the way back to work. A Sheriff's Deputy was standing inside the door, and he said "Not today". I said "What"? The cashier said "I can't sell you anything, the register won't work. The gas pumps won't work either, it's all connected to the internet". They deputy said the internet would start working when Obama left town, "He's the Commander in Chief, he can do that". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcJf...layer_embedded |
Why would he, or the notso Secret Service?
Does the great white dope have that authority as the present "POTUS"? |
Did a general websearch on this event and came up dry.
|
I have no idea why they did this.
The Sheriff's Deputy was stationed at that store just to make sure nobody had an issue with it being open but unable to do any transactions. I remember him saying that the POTUS was his "boss". The local radio station was still broadcasting coverage of the event. It announced when Marine One, his helicopter took off from the local airport. About 10 minutes later, the internet started working. |
When was this where?

Ah, that's in the YouTube link post # 1.
It was Osawatomie, Kansas, December 7th, 2011. Osawatomie is a town south of Kansas City. It has a population of about 4000 people. The video is TV news coverage. It shows Air Force One (the President's Plane) at Kansas City International. Obama flew in the Marine One Helicopter from KCI to our local airport. There was a large AWACs plane in the air. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/...90_634x460.jpg The one I saw looked more like a 747, but I may be mistaken. By 2011, I was already aware that the United States Air Force is the primary agency that 'polices' the internet in the Continental United States. This may come as a surprise to most people, but I can show research for proof. Any how, they shut down most, if not all, internet servers the public used locally for a little while. I was not offended by that action, i just found it curious. I guess it was a safety precaution. |
My error, I did not check the link.

You can always PM me if the stuff i post gets too weird. My belief system is pretty crazy. Science Fiction, someone called it :D But I'm telling you straight out, the United States Air Force has the ability to stop the internet, stop the gas pumps, and money transactions anywhere in the Continental USA. People are talking about civil war and rebellion in the USA. Ain't going to happen. Big Brother can and will knock us on our asses. |

Re, the chances of armed revolt succeeding, fortunately, not much given the inevitable unintended consequences that almost always follow. The fallacious interpretation of the 2nd amendment that justifies armed insurrection is obviously an erroneous recipe for catastrophic failure. |
