A black out most likely refers in this case to a media black out - (which is common in revolutionary situations) - and even then that doesn't mean the internet will go down. Power is unlikely to go down as that starts killing people esp. in winter. But by all means be prepared.
Trump replaced the director of the FCC after the election (Along with hiring Miller for the Pentagon and firing Krebs). The FCC posting went semi unnoticed as it's not a big loud mouth type position like Sec. Def.
Kayleigh McEnany gave us a huge clue in a presser a while back - post election if I recall, in that she said that she "WILL NOT RESPOND TO ACTIVISTS" when a CNN journalist was heckling her - ie. CNN et al. are now considered to be foreign actors.
Therefore Media companies, CNN, ABC, MSNBC, CBS, Wapo, NYT etc. can be taken offline PERMANENTLY - as foreign actors - all assets frozen.
and certainly that can include Apple, Google and Facebook which is basically more or less a comms blackout, since these bstrds are so dominant, our gmails can very well go down, facebook, messenger, whatsapp - already blocked me from an update so I can't use it any more - dunno what that is all about I have a Huawei phone- so pbly explains it. Infowars techwars right ! But it's a bit of a heads up.
Other media channels like AP, Reuters, Bloomberg, may well be taken offline and stock exchanges and banking may well be closed for a 2-3 week national holiday like post 9/11. I doubt it all goes completely offline - VISA and Mastercard will pbly still run, but alot of it can be out - think 2 weeks of post 911, it was all semi frozen up. Def. financial mkts and banking can be closed for 1-2 weeks.
When you look at the big bstrd companies and not just the so called "big tech" (which is really just BIG PEOPLE - we go elsewhere these commies are finished..... - see GAB for details) but also the MSM, and the larger operations like Bloomberg, Reuters and AP - which are supposed to be real high quality journalism - neutral market information etc. - but they all became actively biased and sources of misinformation and election manipulation.
We you start thinking into the Govt impounding all their assets, boards of directors assets, stocks suspended from trading, WIPED !!!!! Apple could be gone, Facebook and Twitter could literally be burned to the ground figuratively speaking - Govt impounds them all as foreign actors.
This is a massive coup - and the worry is actually not whether Q wins or not, but whether you land with a military fascist dictatorship rolling out vaxes and putting up check points everywhere and it never stops. Stranger things have been seen (insert your Lat Am or African country of choice here________________).
So anyways, I am a market trader and actively follow every presser and every tweet hour to hour for years, it's my job to do that - I know you digital soldiers are highly active but I thought I might give you my take on where this is headed.
I think alot of these companies we've come to know and hate - are gonna get taken down - assets frozen - finished - and people have figured this out - that's why they are piling into the likes of Tesla so much because there is no where really to hide.
Musk ain't gonna get pinned as a foreign actor but Zuckerberg, Bezos and Cook sure can and it's huge huge money to impound that - stranger things have happened (insert your Lat Am or African country of choice here________________).

Keep the faith
One way or other we're all still alive and that's what counts.
Make sure to get plenty of fresh air and exercise to de-stress.
i don't see what it would achieve wholesale comms blackouts and power outages - other than making it more difficult for anyone to do anything - it depends how many ppl you want to arrest in one sweep i suppose - it also depends if there are some counter attacks - all it takes is one soyboy techie in a data center at 4am to power the whole thing down or one blue state Govnr to pull the plug- and it's a mess - but that aside.....
at this point we can easily produce a list of a dozen or more companies that are likely never to be the same again. Facebook, Apple, Google - can well be absolutely finished - dead in the water - Govt takeover and restructured. I'd doubt that they'd want to destroy them as it would be such a waste of asset, but the optics of taking them offline for 24-48hrs whilst board members are arrested - add to the drama and the convincing no holes barred victory.
When Miller was giving a presser with Pence (who it seems is still onside - a misdirection plant to lead the enemy up the garden path) - they were talking about 'such large scale military operations' - but what could that be - Miller was not involved with the vax rollout - that's a cover isn't it - there were other pressers with Trump and Pence and the generals for the vax rollout - so what was Miller talking about ?
Special Ops is his background - so we're talking about 20-30 small units - 8 man swat teams to swoop the high value targets all at the same time. That can also mean impounding assets of these big tech fkrs.
You can imagine how complex it all gets - and that's before we even touch the DC swamp.
imagine if Gmail goes down - the other email services will go down as everyone crams to sign up and make email accounts on the oither platforms - and whereas even 10-15 yrs ago - a week offline woulda been nothing much - now it's a wholesale disaster.
AWS runs 1/2 the internet - Google runs the other 1/2 and most of the rest of it including whatsapp is with facebook. Take those 3 offline for a day and you have gridlock central. Likely nothing works at all - and these 3 biggies with Apple can all be considered foreign actors at this point. Ops - there goes Zuckerberg's billions - hope he likes Caribbean weather and prison broth.
facebook and whatsapp down - telegram will be jammed as everyone jumps ship - in fact Elon Musk just the other day say "Get SIGNAL" referring to the privacy chat app - this guy launches rockets for the US military - you think he doesn't know roughly what's coming ?
you can see that a comms blackout is not necessarily deliberate - GAB did not go down - other than 100k twitter users got banned and Parler went down and they ran to GAB.
It's not even 'down' as such - knock out gmail and every other email service is rammed and basically unusable.
Knockout whatsapp and every other chat app is rammed and essentially offline by benevolent DoS.
Very interesting take, and I'm inclined to agree! A "soft" blackout targeting just a few of the biggest players would render the whole internet virtually unusable.
