It has been clear to me from the beginning that the digital revolution was a massive catastrophe in the making.
The digital revolution is a catastrophe across the board. It not only gives government ability to impose tyranny beyond George Orwells’ imagination, it subjects all accumulated knowledge to wipe out by an electromagnetic pulse, and it causes shutdown of worldwide economic activity because of a bug in cybersecurity software.
We got a taste of this last Friday. All over the world flights stopped. People could not access their bank accounts. Stores could not process transactions. People could not purchase food or clothing. Emergency police, health, fire services could not be contacted. All of this and more happened because a Crowdstrike cybersecurity update contained an error that closed down services relying on the Microsoft operating system.
Ask yourselves why humans, if they are actually intelligent, which I often doubt, would construct and impose such a fragile and easily disrupted system of communication. In my opinion the digital revolution is the work of people with insufficient vision and ability to comprehend the obvious fragilities of the unreliable and easily compromised digital system on which we find ourselves dependent.
There is no such thing as cybersecurity. A person has to be blind, deaf, and dumb not to know this. The information that this is the fact is dumped on us every day. AT&T announces a total breakdown in its security and that all of its customers’ information has been stolen. We hear the same from many corporations. Cities and utilities are held to ransom by cyber crooks who take over their systems. And so on.
The once proud American people have been forced to subject ourselves to being spied on by a tyrannical government, to have zero privacy, to be susceptible to theft of our identity, our bank accounts, our investment accounts, to be susceptible to the FBI implanting child porn on our computers or whatever evidence against us that they want to implant.
If the accumulated information stored in the cloud is not protected by a Faraday Cage, it can be wiped out by one electromagnetic force.
The Sun itself, if it goes on a rampage, can emit electromagnetic forces sufficient to wipe out digital information. A nuclear war would eliminate all information stored in the cloud. Survivors, if any, would know nothing. They would be back in caveman days.
The digital revolution has allowed every conceivable imaginable evil. In exchange dumbshits get to scroll their cell phones looking for entertainment.
We are worried about “global warming.” We are worried about Bill Gates’ promise of a decade of pandemics. We are worried about Trump selling us out to Russia. We should be worried about the digital revolution terminating a functioning existence for mankind.
Cyber Outage Disrupts Globe
19 July 2024
“A major global cyber outage appears to be disrupting businesses, airports, and government services around the world. All flights from several major US airlines were grounded due to a communication issue, the Federal Aviation Administration says. Microsoft says it is investigating an issue preventing users from accessing its apps and services.”
The Worldwide Loss of Ability to Function
An error from a cybersecurity firm caused a breakdown in the functioning of the world communication system.
“It was a stunning example of the fragile dependence the global economy has on certain software and the cascading effect it can have when things go wrong.
The outage was attributed to CrowdStrike, a cybersecurity firm whose software is used by scores of industries around the world to protect against hackers and outside breaches. A software update issued by CrowdStrike appeared to be at the root of the problem, resulting in crashes of machines running the Microsoft Windows operating system.”

Here’s how the spillover effects are being felt all over the world:
“Flights disrupted: U.S. airlines reported major disruptions across the country overnight, with many passengers stranded, though some carriers seemed to be recovering on Friday morning. At least five U.S. airlines — Allegiant Air, American, Delta, Spirit and United — had grounded all flights for a time, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
“Airport chaos: The issues were also being felt at airports around the world, including in Hong Kong, Sydney, Berlin and Amsterdam. At the Manchester Airport in Britain, there were long lines in the departures area as many machines at check-in counters were not working. Ryanair, one of the largest airlines in Europe, said it was experiencing disruption because of a third party IT outage that is “entirely out of our control.”
“911 outages: In the U.S., the outage appeared to be affecting emergency 911 lines in multiple states, the U.S. Emergency Alert System said on social media. It said people experiencing emergencies should call the number for their local police or fire department. Most if not all of the problems appeared to be resolving themselves by mid-morning.
“Broadcast issues: Many international television broadcasters also reported problems. In France, TF1 and Canal+, among the most watched, said in posts on X that they couldn’t go on air. “We’re all onstage, but there’s a gigantic breakdown in the control room” making it impossible to go live, Christophe Beaugrand-Guerrin, a TF1 presenter, wrote on X.”
The people who brought us the digital revolution and are now bringing us artificial intelligence are the most stupid people who have ever lived. They are stupid because they are unable to comprehend the unintentional consequences of what they are doing.
Trump, Russia, China, Iran are not our enemies. Our enemies are the nerds who are working their hearts out to give artificial intelligence power over humans. The accumulation of total evil, known as transhumanism, is working to create an AI robot in replacement for a human being.
The value to a police state of an AI robot compared to a human is that the robot has no morality, no comprehension of the difference between fact and reality. The AI robot responds only to its programing. Truth is not recognized by a robot whose reality is a programed reality and can be vastly different from real truth.
Crowdstrike enabled the Russiagate plot against Trump.
