Calling bull shite. A lot more businesses were partially shut down than just AT&T. AT&T was just the biggest.
Solar flares. The x-ray signals were literally off the charts before the outages. Monitoring x-ray frequency is just an indicator for many other frequencies that can potentially do damage to electrical systems.
Honest question. If it was China do you honestly believe the US Government would own up? They tried to downplay spy balloons floated across the US.

I have no faith with Biden and the left in charge that they would do anything

It was 4am so maybe it was lunar flares. Dumbass.

Just watched it. Sounds very reasonable, anyone who doesn't think so has their head in the sand and doesn't understand how exposed America is to cyber attacks. My biggest takeaway was Prince's explanation of how China takes the long game, scheme and plan for years down the road. Comparing China to a neighbor who mors his fence a few inches on your land every few years. Those few inches add up after a while.
I've listened to Prince on several interviews and find him very intelligent and credible.

Isn’t Prince pushing Freedom Phones or something like that?

External boogeyman =/= internal threat.
Nazi propaganda...which was standard German propaganda in the 30s, led to German Jews being isolated and attacked by their own neighbors. A lot of the German propaganda of that era is akin to the woke propaganda of our current era. Propaganda that dehumanizes other Americans.
Are you hopped up on the external threat of China ..that you believe China will holocaust us? They'll round us up?
Whatever external boogeyman China is, they've no power in America unless powerful American elites give them power.
I've no concern over Russia or China, or any external boogeymen. I do have concerns about internal problems, though.
Our internal problems include states taking children away from parents because parents won't partake in trans affirming. American elites giving other countries the power to frick with our society. Our judicial system no longer being blind. Etc..

Has AT&T made a statement as to why it happened?

A study of the normal run magnetogram data of two equatorial stations, Kodaikanal (Geo. Long. 77 deg 28 min E, Dip 3.5 deg N) and Huancayo (Geo. Long. 75 deg 20 min W, Dip 2.0 deg N), for a three year period (1969-1971), showed that solar flare effects on geomagnetic variation do occur even in the dark hemisphere. The night time geomagnetic effects of solar flares as observed at Kodaikanal are noticed to exhibit a distinct shape and possess sufficient amplitude in the H-component (more than 4 times the distance from the earth's center at the maximum). A comparative study of the characteristics of the night time geomagnetic effects of solar flares observed at Kodaikanal in relation to the simultaneous day time effects observed at Huancayo, revealed that the night time effects are characterized by slower rise and decay compared to day time effects.

I read 1984 back in the 1980's and thought this is freaky crazy and would NEVER happen. 40 years later and it's coming true.

More like your own government as a false flag to increase taxes and take away more freedoms.

I agree with your statement, mostly. All the issues you listed are certainly true, but two things can be true at once.
I believe China has gained influence thru bribery and blackmail. I believe China is laying the groundwork for some type of future aggression, not a typical military attack. China strategies are planned years ahead of time. They don't mind waiting a decade.

That's not how cyber warfare works. At all.
If they were able to do that it was because they got something either dropped onto that system, or they exploited a vulnerability that they didn't know was there but China did.
Now if you're China, what the frick would you burn your ability to do that for? Because once you've done it, you no longer have that route back in. They spend YEARS working on getting stuff to that moment where the next step is to pull the trigger and they don't. We do the same. Because if you use it at the wrong time, you simply wasted all that effort and money and showed your hand and how you did it this time will never work again.
So no. They probably didn't do that.
