In these interesting times, never assume big events are coincidences.
A lot of RNC convention goers and speakers are stuck in Milwaukee. The scenes from the airport there are chaotic.
Yep warming up for the major false flag so that the electronic voting will go down just before November.
And early vote before the electronic voting system goes down the DAY of the ELECTION ™
not a bug, a feature.
I’m sure when all of us saw the word “Crowdstrike” the first thing that came to mind was the “hack” and Seth Rich.
yeah in this instance the name is really fitting.....the crowd has been struck
I had a doctor appointment this morning. Their systems are down or working very ,very slow!!!
When I see an incident such as this, I always ask myself “what are they trying to distract us from seeing?”. It’s much like in the movies when the bad guys start a fire to distract everyone from the fact they are robbing the bank vault.
The most innocent explanation is inexperience and incompetency.
Critical infrastructures, both public and private, will continue to fail unless we return to hiring on merit.
Hooking all of the computers to one Internet system was a great idea!
So was going 100% paperless -

If you have an affected PC, you can consider using this fix. Or not.
Just go back to bed. Tell them you couldn’t boot up on Friday since your brain was offline.
“Interesting that BlackRock and Vanguard top off the list of institutional investors of Crowdstrike.”

No, but it’s sure convenient that this ‘squirrel’ takes Biden and his struggles off the front page.
“As someone who was in the IT Support business for 38 years, I’m always skeptical of the excuses that offered to the public when this type of thing happens.”
Someone put a change into production without testing. First thing is an audit of all change records for the last month. I believe for public companies Sox 404 references internal controls and changes to the production environment. The company will have to provide evidence that their change policies are being followed.
I’ve been in IT support for the same amount of time. 38 years.
Heads will surely roll.
“So was going 100% paperless”
yeah, remember when they said putting ethernet and/or usb interfaces and raster engines in printers would result in the “paperless” office? ... yeah, i remember ... and laughed, and laughed, and laughed ...
