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

A bit late to the conversation…

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ?

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.

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…

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.

“64 US coups during 1947 – 1989”

certainly the number is much higher as the linked article shows. and certainly the US kept sponsoring more coups after
1989. it seeems, Violence is in their DNA.

another coup not mentioned: deposing the australian prime minister Gough Withlam in 1975.

Apple user here for over 20 years, after I was sick to death of my Microsoft PC crashing regularly, especially after each new anti-virus software update. (In fact, this scenario brilliantly serves as an analogy for the real-world virus-leads-to-vaccine-leads-to-immune-system-failure business model).

The good thing about this current world-wide glitch is that this might throw a spanner in the works of the ambition to fence us all in with 15-minute cities and impose CBDCs. Bit Coin is already said to be unsustainable with the amount of energy used up for transactions. Imagine a world-wide DC….

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.
