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.

    Yes, I covered this as well since it does my heart good to see what happens when “technology” acts a fool and comes crashing down around everyone. “Cash,” in my opinion, will ALWAYS be KING!

        • I’m sure that is idea. Have zero doubt. But I also use cash and support the use of cash for every purchase. Property tax and car insurance require semi- annual visits to the bank for money orders, stamps, and cash supplies for big payments. There is large contingent of cash payers remaining around Savannah, and we support the move to avoid electronic surveillance traps.

    • I have strong suspicions the breakdown wasn’t an accident, Shelby. I think it was a dress rehearsal for the cyber attack on the banks that’s been predicted for the last three years. Several whistleblowers have warned it’s the global elites’ solution to the massive debt crisis they have created – first comes the cyber attack then account holders are told they can’t have access to their money unless they sign up for a digital ID so the government can monitor everything they do.
