Some folks would discover their legs.

Others how to speak.

Doctors would have to look at you, not a computer screen.

The porn industry would implode.

Democrats would lose more elections.

No need to panic, but I did think it was odd that CNN was running the RNConvention on repeat. The good news maybe is Bye-Done is stuck in Delaware !?!

I watched a terrible movie with Julia Roberts and Kevin Bacon in it. “Leave the World Behind” (Netflix). Of course I had to watch until the end to see what happened. But some sort of breakdown with the internet/computers. Planes and ships and stuff lose communications, etc.

The premise of the movie could have very well had the assassination or failed assassination of a presidential candidate to start the movie off.

(”Well, if I can’t have her - nobody can have her!” Cue the old cartoon of Obama raping the Statue of Liberty.)

The push to replace cash has always worried me. We don’t really seem to have secure electronic systems.

Yes, life would go on.

At least until one’s cash ran out.

Or your neighbor’s cash ran out. Whichever comes first.

From the linked article:

Falcon Sensor is an agent that CrowdStrike claims “blocks attacks on your systems while capturing and recording activity as it happens to detect threats fast.”

Right now, however, the sensor appears to be the threat.

That’s what happens when you use Microsoft Windows.

Most of the servers running the Internet are Linux-based, not Windows...thankfully.

Anybody know if this will affect our windows based laptops? I think I’ll turn it off when I go to bed.

And wrap it in tinfoil. Lots of tinfoil.

This is all related to a worldwide Microsoft Azure issue.

Apparently a DDOS attack. Coincidence, I am sure.

It’s not a DDOS attack—CS released a broken patch, which bricked a ton of Windows systems.

It is a Microsoft Azure DDOS attack. Not an accident or bad software, I am told. I work for a hospital, and nearly everything went offline.

[The push to replace cash has always worried me]

As I just told my 92+-year-old pastor this morning:

In the mid-1980’s I was writing bank software for a (then) state-of-art (business-wise) IBM 3083 - the bank had a pair of them, plus an IBM 370-158 for R&D - There was already direct-deposit, credit cards and ATM cards (debit cards were not yet really a thing).

The girl that rode with me was part of integrating a check-processing system using MICR which was new to the bank. Many days we’d leave late as their was a test machine in our department (pretty large machine L-shaped). That would eventually be used by our check processing people.

I could see where things were going even back then.

Now checks are instant along with debit cards.

All they have to do is eliminate cash - then you’re under total watch and possibly control. Joe Biden and EO 14067 - opening the door for another level.

Biden’s EO 14067- March, 2022

This video is actually worth watching the portion I recommend - this ain’t going away


Biden already signed EO 14067 March 9, 2022.

The Digital Dollar will save us! Yeah, That’s the ticket!

(worth it to watch just the first 17 minutes - there will be no way to “prosper”, though)

Yes, I recommend watching the first 17 minutes of this video


The Jim Rickards Commercial - Jul 5, 2022

https://youtu.be/fCfzQNhi_ns?t=0

(Google’s YouTube, amazingly, kept popping this up on my recommended playlist on the side - so I finally watched the beginning of it - ignore the sales pitch and watch the first part I recommended above)

I was just scanning the prepper supply about 20 minutes ago.
