Internet services were down or running slowly in several French cities on Wednesday after fibre optic cables were cut overnight in "attacks" on the crucial infrastructure, telecom operators said.

"The attacks took place overnight at 4 am. Our teams have been at work since this morning," a spokesman for Free, an internet and mobile phone service provider, told AFP.

In a message on Twitter, the company referred to "multiple malicious acts" targeting its cables.

Competitor SFR said it had experienced "several fibre cuts" in the Paris region and in Lyon in southeast France.

Other operators such as Bouygues Telecom are not affected because they use different networks, but problems were reported by users around the country including in the cities of Strasbourg and Grenoble.

The source of the problem is unknown at this stage, but experts stressed that apparently coordinated cuts to fibre optic cables were unprecedented.

Rebels in France have declared war on the infrastructure of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

An ever-expanding resistance movement has been sabotaging the widely-hated 5G network.

Says a three-part report on the Reporterre website: “Relay antennae are being torched, fibre-optic cables cut, pylons unbolted. During the night, people burn construction machinery, attack masts with disc cutters or destroy electrical equipment with sledgehammers”.

Vehicles belonging to telecommunications businesses have also been set on fire in at least 140 attacks since the start of the Covid repression, with the cost to the industry running into tens of millions of euros.

Pascaline, a resistance fighter interviewed by Reporterre, says she has been forced into action by a sense of urgency: “We are living in a crossroads period. If we do nothing now, this industry will have permanently taken hold”.

Pascaline says her fellow saboteurs have a wide range of backgrounds, with Gilets Jaunes and anarchists fighting alongside Christians who are equally opposed to the fascistic New Normal grid being built with 5G.

As the saboteurs point out, masts are the nerve centres for the economic flow of the new technocapitalism. Rebel websites talk variously of “umbilical cords” and “Achilles’ heels”.

Yes, given our current dependence on electronics, we'd be destroyed by a Carrington event type of scenrio ... or Klaus' cyber-plandemic.

I wonder if the French stuff is a distraction, however, from this:

... the obvious French electioin fraud.  This way they can blame these rebels.

Yes, some or all of these attacks may be a fαℓѕє fℓαg to help them weave a narrative similar to 1-6, in which anyone who supported Le Pen is targeted as a potential terrorist.

Glad I haven’t thrown out my old stuff like manual typewriter, treadle sewing machine, etc.

Yes, given our current dependence on electronics, we'd be destroyed by a Carrington event type of scenrio ... or Klaus' cyber-plandemic.

I wonder if the global chem trail operation is to block a Carrington event that they somehow forecast is imminent. They need to keep their electronic grid in place and active in order to maintain and consolidate global control.

The cyber-plandemic will only be for the herd and perceived as entirely systemic but the the ZOGs will not be affected, by design. 

Interesting thought.  Or the notion of a Carrington even is made up.  With all the lies, it's sometimes difficult to know the truth.

What do you mean exactly? 

I'm pretty sure it's a fact that the Carrington event occurred. It was reported all over the place, and this was before 6 global corporations owned all the Media. I'm sure the fact it happened would be easy to verify. Some above-normal amount of magnetic energy bombarded the earth, which induced an unnatural and unexpected current in telegraph wires, etc. causing many problems. Equipment caught fire, for example.

If the same thing happened today, current would be induced in many sensitive devices causing widespread chaos. The pathways and voltages involved in, say, a smartphone are MUCH more sensitive and vulnerable. Modern Integrated Circuits are very fragile, and can easily be destroyed if you put too much voltage and/or current into them.

Old school electronics were much more hardy. If you build devices using only discrete components (as in the 1970s-1980s) such as transistors, diodes, resistors, capacitors -- the devices are much more hardy. If you go back to vacuum tubes instead of transistors, they could handle even more voltage.

Having studied electronics, I know what I'm talking about.

Anyone with cheap off the shelf equipment can test and verify that a moving magnetic field induces a current in a wire. Extrapolating and guessing what would happen to smartphones is just basic electronics.
