So we are a few weeks into Jade Helm and being bored at work with most internet access blocked I do have access to google news and noticed a few things that stood out to me.
In the SE of the nation, AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, U.S. Cellular, and Cricket all suffered outages taking down Landlines and mobile networks for about 5 hours. All of this being blamed on 2 routers having a hardware failure.
Manhunts seem to be the hot new thing across most of the nation
Shots fired near Jade Helm Exercise in Mississippi
Manhunt on for "Survivalist" in Cali
All the while the top headlines for news remain: Planned Parenthood videos(Classic Abortion debate distraction) and a lion was hunted in Africa(omgwtfbbq)
Anyhow just some things I noticed that have no direct correlation to anything in particular but seem relevant.

Yea I saw that headline as well, what gets me is that every major carrier uses the same exact "third party." I mean really? There is a single system owned by one company that controls every telecommunication for a multi-state area? This system in place seems to be exactly what a organization would want to easily shutdown all communication for hundreds of millions of people. If the phone system is already so compromised, tapped and monitored. We are 2 off switches away from only having TV as a source of information. Seems rather convenient.
