Let’s talk about….the Global Computer Crisis
A massive outage of Windows-based computers has impacted systems all over the world. Doctors’ surgeries, airlines, train stations, television stations, payment platforms – virtually all sectors of human society have been impacted. Traffic is backing up, flights are grounded.
So far Microsoft is blaming a “third party”, and ruled out a cyber attack. In fact, the “third party” has been named as CrowdStrike, a company specializing in safe-guarding systems against cyber attacks.
So that’s either highly ironic…or something else.
Allegedly the fault was due to a new software update, CrowdStrike’s CEO George Kurtz has already begun the public mea culpa, but at the same time warned it wouldn’t be a quick fix:
Crowdstrike’s Mr Kurtz, speaking to NBC News, said it was the firm’s “mission” to make sure every one of its customers recovered completely from the outage. But he added that this would not happen automatically and “it could be some time” before everything was up and running as before.
In the meantime, it looks like travel is off the table for a lot of people. Whoops.
You’d be forgiven for thinking this is yet another fake crisis designed to disrupt everyday life and normalise these types of restrictions. Or maybe it’s just a symptom of over-reliance on automation.
Real or not, contrived or not – this should bring home to everyone, once again, the importance of cash, hard copies and self-reliance.
But what do you think?
- Is this real or not?
- Do you believe the official explanation?
- Has it impacted your devices or life so fair?
- Are you an Apple, Microsoft or Linux user?
- Are people too reliant on computers?
- How you do you protect yourself and your data from “accidents” or “cyber attacks” in the future

Questions:
Is this real or not?
No it’s contrived
Do you believe the official explanation?
No way, it was intentional
Has it impacted your devices or life so far?
Not in the slightest
Are you an Apple, Microsoft or Linux user?
Linux and Open Source exclusively, though spent a career on MS and IBM
Would not touch MS with a proverbial ten-footer today!
Are people too reliant on computers?
The sheep are
How you do you protect yourself and your data from “accidents” or “cyber attacks” in the future
Use a minimal Linux install, use simple software, take regular backups and always use a VPN
Comment:
I think it’s interesting that it’s not MS alone this time, they have a scapegoat in Crowdstrike. Let’s not forget that MS pushed the SAAS paradigm so hard that now their users cannot control updates – what a hell-scape!
I’ve never “used” windows10 but I’ve installed it several times – it’s not an operating system according to C.S French’s “Computer Science” text book (1980’s). Imagine an OS installation asking for your advertising preferences, that’s a social media platform.
Any techies out there remember discovering “compattelrunner.exe” in Win7? Bastards have been spying on us since then!
When I was working in 2020 I was suspicious of Windows 10 and its updates. I tried removing them. 1 wouldn’t go, another started going but then stopped.
The next day they were all back again.
Provided the market turmoil that’s Trumps assassination was supposed to provide. When that never happened all those on the wrong side of that trade must have had to scrabble into action. Crowdstrike as well, the outfit that falsified the Clinton server data over the fake Russiagate smear.
The Russians hacked the NHS and caused delays and backlogs.
They also hacked the voting machines.
In 2020 The Russians was Trying to Steal Virus Vaccine Data, Western Nations Say.
Must say, I’ve notice more evil baddie Russians in TV series and films.
Human error?
I guess AI doesn’t make those?
Microsoft at any moment can force install a mandatory update that breaks in your computer, or makes it do anything they want.
Its not antivirus engineers writing faulty patches you need to be worried about.
For a different take on the computer crash
https://emanuelprez.substack.com/p/the-blue-screen-of-death
–and I think he’s right.
These crashes just show the total incompetence in the computer technology field these days, I have been working in this field for years, the tech companies products get worse and worse every year. With almost every firewall/switch/component update nowadays you risk the system crashing completely, even in clustered systems with several nodes the updated node can bring down the complete cluster, therefore I am very optimistic that their big dreams of total control end in a big loud bang. There is not much to worry, you can completely trust their total incompetence.
It will end in agony and terror for the masses, with the subverted myopic government saying it is “going its best”. I mention terror because because ever more ICT (hardware and software including “AI”) are going into armaments.
After a week of no food and water, “long pig” will surely appear on the menu.
Yesterday, we got this official looking letter in the post from the postman with “his name” on it..a physical letter actually delivered by a Real Postman – still working Ex-Royal Mail
which to be fair do a fantastic job whilst trying to compete with the likes of Amazon
“his name” does not live at our address – so why put “his name” on our address…
I research his name which was somewhat unusual, and found it competetely possible that “his name” might atcually live in our road, and the computer might have made a mistake, or this “his name”…and he might live a few doors up or down the road..and maybe a member of our local poet’s society (sorry but we are a bit like that here)
So I told my wife about the letter, and she wouldn’t it open it either.
For all I knew it might be some kid, working for my son, or one of his friends.
Then my Son got home from his Sailing Boat…and I showed him the letter….
Do you know this “his name”
So he ripped open the letter
He said no one can be that fckin stupid..
Where the fck does “his name” want us to send any money to. we live here – you don’t

Since covid, being locked out of accounts has become common some issues have lasted 12 / 24 hours. when I have reached out to the tech teams and asked why they tell me nothing has happened clean cached etc etc.
it happened on Esty, Ebay, Eurolink, Amazon, Booking.com Doctors login site. Banking app, gmail, city hall.Yahoo, now says come back in 1 hours.
They’ve been priming us for a biggie.
its not like they havent done some The Next Pandemic (2019) simulation on cyber attacks.
There is a spreadsheet somewhere of all the SM sites subject to the Empire, showing how many people each operator disrupted each week or month.
The Global Computer Crisis, is extremely good news.
Try Cash Instead. You are probably going to have to learn some useful practical skills too, like growing your own food.Who is going to trust the WEF, and all these W/Banking exceedingly rich Globalist lunatics now?
They can’t control anything, if nothing works, but hard work and basic fundamental communicative skills, may save our Grandchildren yet.
Don’t believe their propaganda. Don’t go to war. Don’t believe a word that they say, nor do a thing they tell you to do, especially if they look and behave like Tony Blair.
Dunno about the new bloke, except he’s a c’nt too, and all the Americans have gone mad and elected Trump “Jesus Christ”

They just have their own crapware that is as bad or even worse as the western shit. Stop dreaming, the rucomms and chicomms are just as degenerate as the west.
Everyone needs to read and understand the contraindications of centralized, virtual systems previewed in the CrowdStriike event. This article below nails it exactly.
https://dailysceptic.org/2024/07/21/the-crowdstrike-global-outage-shows-the-serious-dangers-of-a-centralised-digitised-world/
Post event questions. Who is going to pay for all the damage? The flights, the vacations, all the things lost by people and companies, caused by CrowdStrike? No one is talking about the price tag and lawsuits possible. Is the astronomical cost being swept under the rug, declared “acts of God” (the elite idiot system being the “god”) or worse, acceptable collateral damage? All of these questions and the points brought up in the article are of existential importance to Humanity.
No where in nature, within Earth’s ecosytem, are there ANY centralized systems of control. And for a very good reason. It is the most vulnerable option possible. .The elite’s magical thinking that systems of centralized control are viable, is a formula for catastrophe seen and unseen. Ecosystems are non-linear complex networks of localized self-resiliency. The best and most reliable human systems must also mirror the system functionality of ecosystems. Only we the 99% can operate a system like that and keep Humanity from the destructiveness and deep dysfunctionality of the self-obsessed 1%. Imho.
Who is going to pay for all the damage?
How did that work out so far for the covid outrage.
That is governmental with non-liability clause. The CrowdStrike update is commercial with responsibility. Crowd Strike should be bankrupt.
Don’t forget Klaus Schwab’s warning, it’s all in the cards https://x.com/i/status/1814221302955458684
Forgive the off topic (articles on OffG come and go so fast I can’t keep up with them). The globalists may have found just the hook they were looking for to create the next proper pandemic scare.
Since monkeypox, bird flu and batshit haven’t sufficiently scared the pants off the population (and the globalists would love to scare the pants off the children in particular), the WHO (and I’m not making this up – they are) has found the dreaded poliovirus in Gazan sewage.
With a straight face they say: 1) they found Type 2 Vaccine Derived poliovirus; and 2) because of the war the people of Gaza haven’t had their polio boosters for 9 Whole Months.
You can’t make this up – only the WHO can.
“Deadly microbes” are in circulation throughout the biosphere – even inside healthy people. Why does every toddler put its hands to its mouth after touching all sorts of things? Though its mother has contributed some microbes at birth, if it fails to pick up more, it is in grave danger.
This is common knowledge. See the 2012 US Human Microbiome Project, etc.
3 years ago they would of tested them Gazian for covid being shooting them.
I am surprised guns and bombs are not carbon neutral and green and sustainability and is actually good for the earth as it helps fertilizes it when it explodes.
Shocking the system a la silent weapons? Deleting damaging information about thr trumpathon?
An itty bitty solar flare, only some millions of miles of flare, and we’re all “out of business.”
So there’s always that.
Wonder if they’ve ever even planned for it.
Or else, it’s just gigantic meteor time for one & all?
Mankind is hostage on a runaway bubble.
More scope to charge for the additional protection. The public still pays.
Wouldn’t the fuller picture of this include
1. Who owns Microsoft?
2. Who owns Crowdstrike?
When talking about large corporations, it’s probably should be a standard by the alternative media to detail the whole family tree.
Yes, and who really owns Faeces Book,Pay paal, Neuroticlink, SparseX, etc.?
I think figures such as Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk are spooky actors playing roles.
These characters always seem to ‘controversial’,despicable and divisive by design.
Bill Gates family traces back to the Rockefeller tree. His grandfather was head of the FED Reserve Bank. Young Bill was given the IBM PC business while his aunt was on the Board of IBM.
Its another fake story.
There is a thing called “change control” and roll back plans are part of that.
It is well understood and known, and has been since the beginning of the internet.
Therefore, they are lying to you.
Point and laugh at them.
Your point being?
What about all the”proprietary” glitches not in their manual?
Those “glitches” and back-doors are mandatory, says the Terrorist Empire. Huawei was being stubborn.

I find it hard to believe that an update by a cyber security firm results in an accidental mass outage that can only be fixed manually.
What kind of cyber security firm releases such an update?
I’m also suspicious of the assertions from ‘experts’ (often unnamed) that we have to “get used to” or “learn to live with” these outages.
Why, if it’s a IT error? Are IT departments getting shitter, more cavalier or adopting more i herently risky practices than in the last 30 years? It doesn’t make sense.
But if it was a cyber attack, both of those things would very much make sense.
There was an internal code link that got wiped out, and until those affected work out a delicate mechanical retrieval method, you could lose a computer or even severely hamstring a web site.
So a cyber security organisation rolled out an update without fully testing it or limiting its rollout.
Needs motivation, cost cutting doesn’t cover it, nobody is that stupid, its like volunteering to put your head on the chopper.
No, it was fully tested and just waiting not to be used, if all went well for them that is, something didn’t go so well for them, so they pulled a trigger to raise alarm and raise they did.
So whos to say the next moment some gang of designers of code, decide to pull their trigger b/c something didn’t go well for them, and then the fallout from that event is even worse than this one, and you’ll start to figure out that the devil lies within you and only comes out in anger when perturbed about something.
Cost-cutting uber alles. That covers short-cuts and slave-driving. What does “beta testing” mean?
Forget the cyber attack crap, the tech shit heads try to safe face for years by disguising crashes because of shoddy updates as cyber attacks, their products are just crap, they want you to believe that they have everything under control, but they don’t. I have experienced enough crashes during my time in the IT field, they are really that incompetent. I have seen total VMware clusters crash, because the stupid VMware/Intel NIC driver could not cope with the equally stupid energy saving features (which of course could not be deactivated) of the new network cards in our servers, and that is now about 6 years ago.
what is it? for decades, the government (in australia) tells us cutting important services is to ‘save money’.
but at the same time, they lavish microsoft with millions upon millions of dollars for licences for Windows and Office suite. this is happening KNOWING FULLY WELL THAT THE ALTERNATIVES (Linux and LibreOffice) ARE COMPLETELY FREE, MORE SECURE, and requires (i think) less maintenance.
trust the government? what a joke!
Corporate arse lickers.
All of them.
corporate arse licking would be a virtue compared to delivering employees and students working data on a silver plate to the masters (of the universe) overseas; data that is shared by the so-called allies as well as countries who have agreement for data sharing.
the government allows the allies access to the data while paying for software licencing that enables the data transfer.
Whatever you bent, Windows, Linux or Mac always have a full install disk of a Linux distro.
It doesn’t require activation.
So cashless society is off the books then?
This is going to be a major dent to some people, especially confidence in or with the system.
Anyone like to gamble?
China Corners Computer Chip Market — Except in U$A where high tariffs protect uncompetitive computer industry

China’s Brain Drain goes into Reverse as Hi-Tech College Graduates and Silicon Valley Executives Follow the Money back Home
https://youtu.be/QR2tk9TcsDM?si=7o68MRkB9LAmGEL-
Chip speed is king in China.
The “brain drain” from China was to get some US degrees (to compare against their own), scout of ideas and finance, understand imperially terminology, taboos and hypocrisy, and build global links. For a decade or so, the “drainees” were those who could not get into the coveted institutions in China.
The difference being, that the Chinese Communist Party used what its drainees picked up abroad to improve its own country, and now the flow has reversed because China is wealthier than the U$A. Whereas the European brain drain to U$A spectacularly failed to improve Europe — in fact, it reduced the EU to a stagnant Neo-Liberal colony of the U$A.
Which way will the current Indian brain drain go: Will it build up India, Chinese style, or will it transform India into a stagnant Neo-Liberal U$ clone, EU$A style ?
It certainly got the Trump assasination attempt off the front pages.
Wondering if there’s a staged event coming up during the Olympics (notwithstanding the staged event that is the Olympics). Thoughts?

Speak of the devil:
“In 2022, Microsoft’s global water consumption reached 1.7 billion gallons, representing a 34 percent spike from the previous year. (…) Data centers in general take up 40 acres of land at the bare minimum, and seeing how Bill Gates is the largest private owner of agricultural land in the United States, his investments could yield ludicrous returns if data centers were to be built on his properties, although the sky — or rather the ground — is the limit on what that land could be used for”.
https://sociable.co/big-tech/water-pricing-land-grabs-nuclear-data-centers/
That was only the beginning, just wait until it is combined with a massive power outage, then it will really hit the fan. So much for reliance on technology and climate for survival.
US used cyber attack, e.g., against electricity supply in Venezuela.
What happens to “advanced society” when the electricity supply fails? What happens if EMP bombs or a solar CME destroy the supply AND all ICT, including the chips embedded in everything?

Up till now I assumed that the depressing complicity shown by celebs was entirely a matter of complacent cowardice. But the Gaiman case indicates that there may be a great deal of truth behind those “mad” and “paranoid” notions of celeb sexual pathology and paedophile rings. Celebs are the predatory aristocracy of our time. They are like the old feudal overlords who could do whatever they wanted with the peasantry because they were the ruling class with all the convenient connections.
Linux all the way! If you have an older PC or laptop that no longer supports updates or seems to get slower after each update install Linux, my favourite distro is Ubuntu and watch your computer be reborn. I also have a degoogled phone running Graphene OS. I’m not particularly technically minded but even I can get my head round Linux & Graphene.
Don’t complain about big tech spying on you. Take actions to stop them from doing it!
I do hope that the entire world hold Crowdstrike and Bill Gates personally liable for all the economic carnage caused.
It might teach Bill Gates to develop better products if he had to hand over $150bn in reparations over this.
I can tell you that my 2 windoze flavours and 1 Linux, have not seen the slightest hitch. Indeed like the sunshine when the planes were grounded, I suspect the internet is less bogged down currently.
It appears to be a cloud thing. The real crime is subscription cloud apps and modern windoze not allowing legacy software and hardware.
Billy is much like Trump Mr. Jaggar, he relies on other people to do most of the heavy lifting, and simply doesn’t have to time to verify they are doing his bidding first over there own bidding second, he trusts them.
And its evident now just how far trust doesn’t have to go, to keep being a trustworthy individual.
Tip of the day, do everything yourself or run the risk of being trusted by your trusty employees.
He is a bleeding-heart philanthropist who does not bid others to do anything. He only hands out money, that grows magically as he writes the cheques.
A weed farmer you say?
We should all be so wise.
I don’t think teaching Gates anything to help him develop anything more is a good idea.
He admits he was never taught much, beyond computers.
Recent discovery from my anthropological investigation into how “the regular public mind” works: the term “conspiracy theory” is compulsively used for anything they can’t be bothered engaging with since it lies totally outside their dreary little bubble of complacency.
“The only global computer which counts in the long run is the one being run by the white mice. Because it is the only one which gives us the answer before we have found the question” — Douglas Adams, (attrib.)
Testing 1…2…3…just a gut feeling here, that this is a dry run and also a conditioning PYSOP to test the public reaction for what’s coming down the fibre optic sewer pipe later this year.
There should be a major class action suit brought against Crowdstrike for failing to do its due diligence when it implemented this “update” system wide untested.
Good idea.

When you get a message as in the above illustration, do not let MS get the dump; it may be an attempt at spying. Cut off the Internet/Wifi, and wait a few minutes for the background dump to finish fully. Then run a 3rd-party utility that cleans up temp. files. The dump will be ~200 MB or more in size.
Accidents don’t happen anymore in 2024, everything is pre-planned by ‘THEM’ with AI.
They wish! Old fashioned shit still happens, a lot!
It’s reasonable to be suspicious if:
1) The timing is particularly convenient.
2) The event is gaining saturation coverage in the corporate controlled media (often followed by the event becoming strangely forgotten as if it never happened).
3) The event is something they’ve been talking about and planning for for ages.
4) The event happens to advance a known agenda (in this case, preventing travel).
5) Something in the account of how the event occurred really doesn’t stack up (like the response of security in the alleged Trump shooting).
6) If markers around the event (like names and numbers) contain possible double meanings.
As Ian Fleming said: one is probably a coincidence, two means stand ready and three is enemy action.
And don’t forget Reason #7: When CrowdStrike is involved, it’s always suspicious.
‘Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time is enemy action.’

Back in 1995, I worked out how to pass the competency based test. mainly through practicing with my boss (Scottish) – You are going to get this Job Tony (90% of us) were being made redundant.
So I turned up all suited and booted, and the people interviewing me, turned up late dressed in black..and invited me in to the competency based test, which I strongly suspect they had never seen before. After 45 minutes of this none of us could stand these stupid questions any more..and they said…well weve quickly ticked the boxes…The interview is over. We relaxed for a few second, and I asked do you two guys smoke….”I said what a load of complete bollocks”
So they gave me the job – look you can’t run Windows NT on that don’t be ridiculous.
Fortutunately almost all our servers were running various versions of UNIX and I was used to DEC VMS….So I had to learn quick…The contractors (bless their hearts) slung me a book UNIX101 for Dummies. whilst my boss went off on holiday for 2 weeks to Cyprus…and I hardly knew anyone. Writing Shell script was a little bit writing machine code for computer games…It says “Hello World” – and you go blimey it worked…Hello who are you? Do not do this at home, unless you are really good.
Reading CrowdStrike’s Wikipedia entry, they seem to be rather cosy with the US government.
So maybe this was indeed just a test-run for The Big One…
CrowdStrike.
Isn’t that what the cops did during the Lockdown and mandatory vaccination protests?
WEF and Klaus practically promised to deliver.
CrowdStrike were the “experts” who insisted back in 2017 that Trump had won the election because of Russian ‘hacking’.

Our new vax sucks like fck…Some how it evaded the EU rules, but yes I agree, most stuff is designed to stop working 3 months after the guarantee expires. It helps if you get even a little apprenticeship as a spark and a plumber when you are 15 -16, then you can pretty much fix anything old
New stuff is deliberately designed to fail soon after warranty ends, and to prevent repair. Any attempted repair voids warranty. The duty of oligarchs on the government side (our “government servants”) is to deflect from, obfuscate and prolong such issues. One UK minister lost his job speaking out of turn, maybe 10 years ago. Yet, the hand-wringing and hot air over e-waste, destructive mining etc. continues.

Never heard of CrowdStrike until today, but the name itself sounds somewhat ominous and not too fitting for commercial purposes, which makes one wonder.
CrowdStrike gained fame in 2016 by alleging it had proof of “Russia” hacking DNC emails, though FBI never saw the computer that CrowdStrike claimed had been “hacked.” Top Trump appointee Mike Pompeo withheld information that would’ve disproved CrowdStrike’s claims. In 2020, CrowdStrike co-founder Dmitri Alperovitch resigned to start a new firm.
6/21/2019, “VIPS Memo to the President: Is Pompeo’s Iran Agenda the Same As Yours?” Consortium News, Ray McGovern
“We refer to the extraordinary revelation in a recent Department of Justice court filing that former FBI Director James Comey never required a final forensic report from the DNC-hired cybersecurity company, CrowdStrike. Comey, of course, has admitted to the fact that, amid accusations from the late Sen. John McCain and others that the Russians had committed “an act of war,” the FBI did not follow best practices and insist on direct access to the DNC computers, preferring to rely on CrowdStrike reporting. What was not known until the DOJ revelation is that CrowdStrike never gave Comey a final report on its forensic findings regarding alleged “Russian hacking.”…The point here is that Pompeo could have exposed the lies about Russian hacking of the DNC, had he done what you asked him to do almost two years ago when he was director of the CIA.”
“UPDATED: VIPS says its direct experience with Mike Pompeo leaves them with strong doubt regarding his trustworthiness on issues of consequence to the President and the nation.”
I heard about Crowdstrike when George Webb began posting on youtube. With regard to 2016 Presidential Campaign, Hillary, DNC and Seth Rich.
Rather quaint to think that a mere 4 years ago George Webb was doing investigative substacking before substack. The sort of go-to darling of the alt media.
I took things with a grain of salt, but he had some very interesting deep state info and theories.
Maybe because he is deep state. I don’t know.
“the name itself sounds somewhat ominous and not too fitting for commercial purposes”
Crowd Strike name might appeal to military and other violent institutions, invaders and occupiers.
certainly the name is off-putting when it comes to Education, Health and Transport!!
I bought a used military Russian computer many years ago and installed free Linux on it. Not a single IT problem until today’s date..
