Xerox Statement on Temporary EBT Systems Outage
Yahoooo ^ | 10/12/2013 | Xerox

NORWALK, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

During a routine test of our back-up systems Saturday morning, Xerox’s Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) system experienced a temporary shutdown. While the system is now up and running, beneficiaries in the 17 affected states continue to experience connectivity issues to access their benefits. This disruption impacts EBT beneficiaries who rely on the system for SNAP and WIC. Technical staff is addressing the issue and expect the system to be restored soon.

You would also have to believe it as a routine test during a gov't shut down, during BHOs reign and while he's negotiating with the spineless Republicans.

I dunno. Some people really believe Breitbart had a heart attack while stepping out for a beer one evening.

The first report I heard of this was that a store couldn’t process cards last night.

Might have been some local problem, don’t know.

What’s going on is this: all those millions of cancelled transactions across the county are being analyzed for what was in the cart. Fraud will be recognized. Anybody selling food to convenience stores or restaurants will be found out when their purchases with those corrupt buyers are halted.

Word will get out to those committing fraud, and fraud will find another clearinghouse, after some unreported FBI busts where dishwashers under oath say they didn’t see NUTHIN.

I believe you are correct. Obama is starting a race war.

You know what is odd, they usually do these types of things upgrades, backups etc after midnight.

Yeah, while the recipients are out playin' "midnight basketball".

The war was started a few years ago, the Baghdad Bobs in the press have been reporting it by not reporting it.

WND is doing a very good job trying to bring the black on white NON HATE CRIMES to light.

There is A-NNN-other sight that also digs deep and gets to the bottom of the current race war. I won’t mention it here because it is too controversial, this being a family oriented site.

But the news is this, it IS real, it IS happening, and it IS deliberate. And lastly, it IS being ignored (therefore censored) by the lame stream.

On a side note, in SF, a bunch of libtard reporters have been getting mugged, badly, in that town. Its a recent phenomenon.

The pressure is now on news producers to ease up on the censorship, just a little. And this by their own reporters who have been kicked around some.

To Be Continued.

Well Well. This is interesting. Over the last several days other systems by Xerox that handle webs services for various states have been doing some very strange things. Don’t ask me how I know but I do. Billing interfaces going offline, double billing and the list goes on. It appears somebody has been compromised.
