Trumped by a costly ‘computer glitch’

If what we thought might happen back then actually has happened almost on a similar scale and there really was no malicious intent, just imagine what could happen if there was an actual cyber attack by such a powerful player as China, Russia, North Korea or an Evil Axis of all three. No need to drop a bomb, just unleash TikTok.

The vulnerability of our ever-more digitally dependent way of life seems incomprehensible but it’s obviously a reality.  More than 8.5 million computers around the world were affected, and Home Affairs Minister ClareO’Neil told the ABC it could take up to a fortnight to get all our systems up and running:

"CrowdStrike informed the meeting this morning (Sunday)  that they are now close to rolling out an automatic fix to the issue with their update, as is Microsoft. This should increase the speed at which systems across the economy are back online," Ms O'Neil said.

“While some supermarkets were still experiencing issues, there was no fear of food shortages and no need to stockpile, she said.

“Ms O'Neil warned the public to be ‘extremely cautious’ of scammers trying to capitalise on the outage…”

All this should ring huge alarm bells against moves to introduce digital IDs and digital currencies or to believe all our governments tell us is for our own benefit. In fact, trust in government edicts is probably now at an all-time low.

Perhaps this latest mass outage was entirely innocent, but some have already pointed to links between CrowdStrike, its major shareholders Blackrock and Vanguard (both with more than 16 million shares) and claimed ties with the World Economic Forum. 

That’s the international group calling for a New World Order, led by the Bond-villainesque Klaus Schwab. A few years ago, it featured a promotion with the message, “You will own nothing and you will be happy …”

Another Presidential candidate, Robert F Kennedy Jr has also warned that Black Rock, State Street, and Vanguard are “robbing Americans of the ability to own homes.” He claims they are on track to own “60 percent of American family homes by 2030”.

Investigative journalist Whitney Webb has also warned of Blackrock’s manipulation of carbon credits and Bitcoin to “tokenize everything”.

Conspiracy theories? You be the judge, but remember, what were dismissed as wild conspiracies and misinformation a few short years ago on topics such as covid vaccine mandates, effectiveness and safety are now widely accepted as fact.
