Trump Shooting, Crowdstrike Outage Amidst the March to World War III

"Once upon a time," the zen master Kaito began, "there was a kingdom ruled by a council of powerful lords. These lords were known for their cunning and their ability to manipulate events to their advantage. The common folk often felt like mere pawns in a game they could not understand.

In this kingdom, there lived a humble artist named Yori. Yori was known for his intricate paintings, which captured the beauty of the world in exquisite detail. One day, while wandering through the forest, Yori stumbled upon an old, tattered map. Intrigued, he took it home and began to study it.

As Yori examined the map, he noticed that it was covered in seemingly random dots. At first, the dots appeared meaningless, but Yori's keen eye for detail sensed that there was a hidden pattern.

He decided to connect the dots, one by one, and slowly, a picture began to emerge.

The dots revealed a hidden path through the forest, leading to a secret meeting place where the lords gathered to discuss their plans.

That is the question we all face - are we looking at the complete picture?

Let us analyze.

The Assassination Attempt

On the evening of July 13^th, 2024 Presidential candidate Donald Trump was speaking at a rally at the Butler Farm Show Grounds in Butler, Pennsylvania.

There were thousands of supporters at the event and ostensibly the area should have been secured by the Secret Service.

At 6.05 PM, Trump took the stage at the rally.

Eight minutes into Donald Trump's speech, a sudden burst of gunshots broke through the din.

At that moment, Trump was passionately discussing his immigration policies. The crowd, initially cheering his words, was abruptly thrown into chaos as one bullet struck Trump in the right ear, resulting in visible bleeding.  The Secret Service agents immediately swarmed him and pushed him under the podium.

One spectator, Corey Comperatore, was killed, and two others were critically injured in the shooting.

Meanwhile, the Secret Service swiftly sprang into action to neutralize the shooter.

But the crowd had known of the impending danger.  The shooter had been seen over 3 minutes before the shooting began.  One bystander also captured a local law enforcement walking around that building where the shooter later shot from.

As one witness later described it, "We noticed a guy crawling, you know, bear-crawling up the roof of the building beside us, 50 feet away from us. ... So we're standing there, you know, we're pointing at the guy crawling up the roof." The witness added, "He had a rifle — we could clearly see him with a rifle." (Source: Timeline of Trump rally shooting shows witnesses alerted officers 2 minutes before gunfire / CBS News)

 Strange isn't it?

The shot was near perfect.  The shooter had a clear view of Trump with no barrier from a little over 400 feet.

Fortunately for Trump, he moved his head at the last moment.

Interestingly, Trump was discussing immigration statistics at a campaign rally when he turned his head to look at a chart. He said, "Take a look at that chart. Take a look at the arrow on the bottom." This momentary action of turning his head to observe the chart, which displayed data on illegal border crossings, coincided with the timing of an assassination attempt, resulting in a bullet grazing his ear rather than hitting him directly in the head

A detailed close-up analysis of the footage shows that Thomas Crooks' shot was precisely aimed at the center of Donald Trump's head. However, in a fortunate twist, Trump's instinctive 'head tilt' to glance at a nearby screen graphic, combined with his action of leaning into the microphone, altered his position just enough to evade the bullet, ultimately saving his life.

Looked at it another way, this is how it looked.

It is quite apparent that the Secret Service and the law enforcement had either deliberately or out of sheer incompetency not just failed to secure the building but were not unable to neutralize him before the shooting even when they had known about him from the alert bystanders.

The shooter’s name was Thomas Matthew Crooks.  He was a 20-year-old from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. 

What is indeed shocking is that Crooks – who had shot so perfectly from 410 feet with such great precision had no prior criminal history or military background.  How did he manage that?

Bizarre Theories of a Set-up

Despite the razor-thin margin that Donald Trump escaped having his brains shot out by the assassin's bullet, there are enough people on the loony-left section of the US population who - out of their ideological hatred - believe that Trump himself set it all up.

This video captures the prevailing mood within the so-called "liberal" population rather well.

And it is not just the normal public that is impacted by the media and has no way to find out detailed information of its own.

Even a CIA analyst for 11 years, and then a professor coordinating the Security and Intelligence Program at a US University - Gail Helt - was suggesting the same thing.

When someone said that Trump took a bullet for his country, Helt retorted that he was shot because he was desperate to stay out of prison. Suggesting that Trump orchestrated this whole thing.

First, Trump is not going to prison. Supreme Court's ruling this month ensured that.

The Court thus concludes that the President is absolutely immune from criminal prosecution for con- duct within his exclusive sphere of constitutional authority. Pp. 6–9. (2) Not all of the President's official acts fall within his “conclusive and preclusive” authority. (Source: Trump vs United States)

Second, a CIA analyst should know better when the distance between death and an ear piercing was a mere tilt at the right time!

The CIA analyst/Professor has since left X/Twitter.

With this kind of mindset prevailing in the country, let us collate and analyze the various details emerging out on social media and the mainstream media.

Coincidence?

Just to have fun, I asked Grok, the X platform AI a simple question - "How many Trump rallies apart from the one on July 13th has CNN live streamed?"

Its answer was extremely intriguing.

Why the sudden focus on only one rally of Trump by CNN?

Hmmm.. food for thought.

With that, let's jump into the analysis.

Was the Assassination Attempt Orchestrated?

One X user shared an analysis of the shots fired by the shooter and what he hit with them. In all, there were 2 main volleys of shots. Trump and David Dutch were hit in the first volley, while Corey Comperatore - the one fatality - and James Copenhaver were hit in the next.

The analysis shows how lives could have been saved if the Secret Service had acted fast enough.

But were the intelligence agencies interested in stopping such a horrible act or in documenting it?

FBI Hiding in Plain Sight to Document Events

Based on the search results, it appears that Janeen DiGuiseppi, recently named Assistant Director of the FBI's Insider Threat Office, was present at a rally for former President Donald Trump. Some social media posts have speculated that DiGuiseppi may have been giving "shooter instructions" during the rally, but this is not confirmed. The search results indicate that DiGuiseppi was seated behind Trump during the event and that she reacted when the first shot was fired.

Check this video to see how the shooting and her reactions unfolded.

Here is a better view of the whole scene. You can see that she does not flinch unlike everyone else in the crowd. She instead, starts shooting a video!

Some X influencers suggest that she nodded to "give instructions to the shooter" (X post by Dom Lucre). Now, that seems way too sensational even though her actions are extremely weird.

Meanwhile, some X users are cautioning that this lady behind Trump may not have been the Assistant Director of the FBI.

Of course, things will settle on this controversy once that lady in the video comes out on her own to share her story.

Whoever she is, her behavior was surely suspicious. When the rest of the people were ducking for cover she started shooting a video of the assassination. If you are a normal lay person who does not have much experience of war zone or such pressure situations, that kind of behavior is a little strange.

Just that one thing does not make any sense!

Police VS Secret Service

U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle gave an interview to ABC News and shared the responsibilities of securing the area between the Secret Service and Local Police that day.

Per her assertion, local police was tasked to secure the building which was used by the shooter to target Trump.

That statement would have been the end of the story in normal circumstances. but the Butler Township Commissioner came out with a Facebook post of his own to set the record straight.

I want to say as clearly as can be said, the Butler Township Police Department (“BTPD”) had no security detail for this event. There were seven officers all assigned to traffic detail. Period!!

The Butler Township Police Department (“BTPD”) that day per the local Commissioner had no responsibility for security detail. They were there to handle traffic! Traffic, not Security!!

So, either of the two - Butler Township Police Department (“BTPD”) Commissioner Edward Natali or U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle - is lying.

If the account of the RACI (Responsible, Accountable, Communication, Informed) activities between the two main security actors had such major gaps, then either the Secret Service chief is flat out lying (which can be corroborated by the paperwork that BTPD Commissioner has) or the USSS did a rank bad job of communicating and made assumptions about Security Detail that were not even supposed to be there.

This is another story that needs further investigation.

Was Trump's Security Diverted?

The story gets even more weird when you look at some accusations. Here is the post on X by Susan Crabtree. Susan is the White House & National Political Correspondent for RealClearPolitics. She says - based on the inputs from her sources - that Secret Services resources were diverted to Jill Biden's event and away from Trump's because they followed agency protocol applying to Trump as a former president.

The Secret Service has rejected this allegation though - Source: Washington Examiner.

Now, the plot thickens when you read the New York Post's revelation that the current Secret Service Director, Kimberly Cheatle, is close to Jill Biden and was appointed due to a push by Mrs Biden.

That's interesting.

Fair question.

For, it is quite a shift from protecting chips and cola to protecting US Presidents!

It is this stink of undue patronage and bias in the selection of the Secret Service Director that has prompted some to say that it was Jill Biden who had hatched the Trump assassination plan.

Controversy theories galore!

Unfortunately, things don't stop here.

The Agents weren't even Secret Service

Josh Hawley, U.S. Senator for Missouri, shares a letter from whistleblowers on his X account.

What Senator Hawley has shared regarding the whistleblower accounts is quite disturbing.

First watch the video, where the whole scene looks like a case of some overacting by people posing as Secret Service agents in a "C" grade movie, with no clarity on what to do.

The now very popular sequence where that Secret Service (apparently) lady - clearly overweight for someone who needs to protect the most powerful person in the world - tries to put her gun in the holster thrice but fails and finally takes time to find it around her tummy to put it in.

Is the reason behind this all that they weren't even Secret Service agents but someone posing as one? That is what "insiders" are alleging.

Per the whistleblowers, most of the people on Trump's details at the event were not even Secret Service personnel! They were some inexperienced personnel from the Department of Homeland Security.

How else can you even explain the bizarre handling of the whole thing?!

As more and more information comes out, the whole thing looks even more and more suspicious!

Now it turns out that the shooter was able to fly a drone and get the aerial footage of the western Pennsylvania fairground before Trump could even speak. He scoped the entire sight not once but multiple times.

And the strange thing was even when this supposed "lone wolf" came all prepared - drone, rangefinder and way to get to the roof that the Secret Service - the Secret Services were completely unprepared!

The gunman who tried to kill Donald Trump was able to fly a drone and get aerial footage of the western Pennsylvania fairgrounds shortly before the former president was set to speak there, law-enforcement officials briefed on the matter said, further underscoring the stunning security lapses ahead of Trump’s near assassination. Thomas Matthew Crooks flew the drone on a programmed flight path earlier in the day on July 13 to scour the Butler Farm Show grounds ahead of Trump’s ill-fated rally, the officials said. The predetermined path, the officials added, suggests Crooks flew the drone more than once as he researched and scoped out the event site. (Source: Trump Gunman Flew Drone Over Rally Site Hours Before Attempted Assassination / Wall Street Journal)

Very interesting indeed.

Open Source Forensic Analysis: "Lone wolf" or More?

This is an age where forensic experts - with tremendous private resources and equipment - can do world-class forensic analysis.

And, in this case, there have been a few doing it.

One X poster named Health Ranger shares an audio analysis. It is pretty interesting. He suggests that there were not one or even two but three shooters.

He is asking people for other "more credentialed" people to do deeper audio analysis.

He also shares a table differentiating between the different rounds of fires.

There is another video by Chris Martenson on the same topic. Martenson is a biochemist who has a PhD (Duke), and MBA (Cornell), and is a former Vice President at SAIC, worked for Pfizer, and has created a viral video series.

Martenson shares the information on how many shooters were there.

If someone is invested in the truth, then getting to the bottom of this isn't very difficult. Someone in Congress needs to run this by a credentialed top acoustics laboratory to get credible results.

2024 Battle is heating up

We saw something very intriguing recently.

Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, almost endorsed Donald Trump. Almost!

“Seeing Donald Trump get up after getting shot in the face and pump his fist in the air with the American flag is one of the most bad*ss things I've ever seen in my life.”

To be fair, he may not have "endorsed" any candidate.

The question will remain who is on the other side of the electoral battle?

Per all available accounts, there is a serious debate within the Biden household and inner circle on what road to take. And, in all seriousness, the eventual outcome seems to be pointing to the withdrawal by Biden from the race.

If not Biden, then who?

Interesting question.

Many have discussed the names of the obvious one - Kamala Harris (the current Vice President). And then the California Governor Gavin Newsom. Michelle Obama, given her profile and image is another one.

But the latest to be brought into contention is the most surprising one. Or maybe not.

Hillary Clinton.

The Hill, a leftist media outlet is making an argument for Hillary to have a rematch against her vanquisher in the first round.

For what feels like longer than two weeks, we have publicly and endlessly debated about Biden’s candidacy. Democrats have repeatedly called on him to make a decision. It is damaging, divisive and only serves to further improve Donald Trump’s chances. I have ferociously defended Biden in the past and demanded that Democrats fall in line behind our guy, but we need to put the debate to bed. If Biden is to yield the arena, we must consider why Clinton is not just a fitting champion to take up the mantle, but perhaps the mightiest of all. (Source: Ready for Round 2: Why we Need Hillary more than ever / The Hill)

Are we going to witness a rematch of the 2016 election?

Vice President Kamala Harris is now running ahead of Trump, 42 percent to 41 percent, the survey found. And former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the 2016 nominee who is not being seriously discussed as a candidate by voters anxious about Biden’s chances, is slightly ahead of Harris. Clinton leads Trump 43 percent to 41 percent. The poll also tested other potential Democratic tickets — and found one headed up by Clinton, with Harris staying on as her vice presidential nominee, in the strongest position. Clinton-Harris is beating Trump 43 percent to 40 percent, a four-point advantage over Biden-Harris. (Source: "Poll finds Biden damaged by debate; with Harris and Clinton best positioned to win" / Politico)

So are we looking at the 2024 battle between Clinton-Harris (an all-women team) Vs Trump-Vance?

Despite the ideological difference, that would be the most formidable combination from the Democratic party.

The Crowdstrike Shutdown

As Trump was making his acceptance speech at the Republican convention, something else - equally significant - was unfolding.

On July 19, 2024, a massive global IT outage occurred, causing widespread disruptions across various sectors and countries. The incident was primarily caused by a faulty software update from the cybersecurity company CrowdStrike, which affected Windows-based systems worldwide.

Microsoft-CrowdStrike Outage Causes Chaos for Flights, Hospitals and Businesses Globally

A faulty cybersecurity update from CrowdStrike wreaked havoc across the medical and travel industries, with flights and medical procedures canceled and delayed.

CNETSee full bio

The outage was triggered by a defect in a Falcon content update for Windows hosts released by CrowdStrike. This update contained a single error that caused Windows PCs to display the "blue screen of death" (BSOD) and enter a boot loop, preventing them from turning on. It's important to note that Mac and Linux systems were not affected by this issue.

Who all were impacted by this? Here is a list of the industries.

1. Airlines: Major carriers such as United, Delta, and American Airlines were forced to implement a "global ground stop" on all flight operations. Hundreds of flights were canceled, causing significant travel disruptions.
2. Hospitals and Healthcare: Medical facilities worldwide reported problems with their IT systems. For instance, Mass General Brigham in the US experienced issues with many of its systems. Hospitals in Israel had to resort to manual processes.
3. Financial Institutions: Banks and stock exchanges were impacted, including the London Stock Exchange.
4. Media and Broadcasting: Sky News in the UK experienced an outage.
5. Public Transportation: Train services in various countries, including the US and UK, faced delays and disruptions.
6. Retail: Companies like Woolworths in Australia reported problems with payment systems.
7. Emergency Services: Several US states reported that their 911 call centers were affected

First some interesting information on Crowdstrike. Warning: it is conspiratorial in tone and information which will need to be vetted but it has facts that are backed by evidence in the X post. One can argue that the author is linking random (unrelated?) dots, but the story is quite interesting.

This X posts series is about the cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, its involvement in various high-profile events, and its connections to influential figures and organizations. The narrative is interwoven with allegations of deep state involvement, political intrigue, and cyber espionage.

CrowdStrike, founded by Dmitri Alperovitch, George Kurtz, and Gregg Marston, quickly gained significant funding and influence, with notable investors and former FBI executives joining its ranks. The company's valuation soared after its IPO in 2019. Alperovitch is also linked to the Silverado Policy Accelerator think tank, chaired by General David Petraeus, who has ties to other influential groups and is on the board of KKR Holdings, an underwriter for NXP Semiconductors, a company that produces chips for various technologies, including electronic voting machines.

Dmitri Alperovitch is an interesting person. He was born in Russia in 1980 and moved to the US when he was 13 years old. He is an American think-tank founder, author, philanthropist, podcast host, and former computer security industry executive. Apart from being a co-founder and former chief technology officer of CrowdStrike, he is the chairman of Silverado Policy Accelerator, a geopolitics think-tank in Washington, D.C.

These posts on X allege that CrowdStrike played a central role in the narrative of Russian collusion during the 2016 U.S. presidential election. It was hired by the DNC to investigate the hack, and its findings were used to support the claim that Russia interfered in the election to aid Donald Trump. The narrative was allegedly fabricated, with CrowdStrike using questionable evidence to support the claim of a Russian hack. The Durham report later exonerated Trump of collusion, and CrowdStrike admitted it lacked concrete evidence of data exfiltration from the DNC. (Source: Hidden Over 2 Years: Dem Cyber-Firm's Sworn Testimony It Had No Proof of Russian Hack of DNC / RealClearInvestigations)

These posts also discuss the involvement of other entities, such as Perkins Coie, Fusion GPS, and Michael Sussman, in creating the narrative of Trump's ties to Russia. It claims that the Washington Post was used to spread the story of the DNC server hack by Russian hackers. Meanwhile, DCLeaks and WikiLeaks released documents and emails related to George Soros and Hillary Clinton, which were linked by Democrats to a supposed Russian conspiracy to help Trump win the election.

When one looks at this, the obvious question that comes forth - is So what?

The other countries never start whining about it.

This is how the real world of global geopolitics runs. Just deal with it and grow up a bit!

So let us ask once again - so what if Russians hacked and brought the emails out? The real question should have been - were those emails real or not?

In any case, the main point is that Crowdstrike was the one to create the Russian "Big black Bear" story.

Let us get to the outage that the world is still struggling with.

What caused the outage? Technical Jargon and Take

So what caused it?

There are "experts" galore on X who are sharing their "expertise". Let us look at three of them.

First is Zach Vorhies whose first post in the thread he shares has over 22 million views and 27K shares.

Zach's analysis is pooh-poohed by another programmer named Tavis Ormandy, who says he is the "Vulnerability Researcher at Google."

Ormandy refers to another programmer Patrick Wardle's analysis.

Ormandy scrutinizes the screenshot provided by Zach Vorhies and notices discrepancies in the assembly code output by the Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC) compiler.

Ormandy claims he tested his observations using the Compiler Explorer and concludes that the code presented does not match the expected output, suggesting that Vorhies' hypothesis might be incorrect.

As Ormandy goes further, he shares that the faulting module contains a NULL check before the dereference, which contradicts the original tweet's theory. He proposes an alternative theory: the code is reading pointers from a table, and some of these pointers are invalid, possibly due to an error in parsing a configuration file.

Ormandy notes that another user, Patrick Wardle, observed a similar crash with different symptoms. That analysis does seem to align with Ormandy's theory of uninitialized data.

Ormandy then contrasts the Vorhies' thread showing overconfidence with Wardle's more cautious and accurate analysis. However, Wardle did not receive as much attention.

Per Ormandy, Vorhies, despite claiming professional expertise, presented a flawed analysis, while Wardle's more thorough and nuanced approach better reflects the complexity of the issue.

Lack of Governance and Process Integrity at Crowdstrike?

For someone who handles mission-critical IT projects for corporations, it is inconceivable that an update with as devastating an impact as this on the world could be released in production without proper checks.

If the oversight was in lack of governance and the missing modern tools for proper testing, then one is even more baffled.

When something as fundamental as this causes a global failure, then one wonders if it was an act of omission or commission.

Major Internet Outages in Recent Years

This is not the only outage of mission-critical applications and the internet that has happened. Many others have happened recently, although this Microsoft-Crowdstrike issue is the most devastating in many ways.

1. Microsoft 365 Outage (July 2024) - A faulty software update from CrowdStrike's Falcon Sensor platform, which affected Windows systems. This led to widespread disruptions in banks, airlines, media outlets, and other companies globally.
2. Google Services Outage (December 2020) - Inadequate storage capacity for Google’s authentication services.
3. Facebook Outage (October 2021) - A configuration change on Facebook’s backbone routers.
4. Amazon Web Services (AWS) Outage (December 2021) - An automation error causing multiple systems to act abnormally.
5. Fastly Outage (June 2021) - A faulty software update and subsequent misconfiguration.
6. Dyn DDoS Attack (October 2016) - A massive distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack
7. British Airways IT Failure (May 2017) - An engineer accidentally disconnected the data center’s power supply, followed by a massive power surge.
8. NTT America Outage (April 2024) - Issues with NTT nodes in San Jose, Tokyo, and other locations.
9. Reliance Jio Outage (June 2024) - Unspecified technical issues.

When one looks at the top 6 events listed above, one can see that they would be watched closely by the "bad actors" out there.

For, between those 6 events lie clues on how to close the world down. Online and even offline. For, after all the laptops and computers in the firms that used Crowdstrike software for cybersecurity were shut down by the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) rendering them useless for any operations.

Whether it is the "Deep State" in the West that wants to take control of the world, or the fascist and evil Russia-China combined - there is enough information in those events that could help them "bring down the world."

Are these linked?

It is not clear as to who ordered the strike on former President Trump. Could have been many actors.

The right side believes that it was the handwork of anyone from Jill Biden to the Deep State to the Intelligence Agencies.

The left side has shared how Trump himself would have been involved in his own shooting.

One is not sure.

But we are witnessing many events which together point to something more fundamental that may be amiss.

It sure wasn't Joe Biden. The man cannot even remember his Vice President's name.

And we are to believe that he has been running the show in the most powerful nation in the world?

Really?!

If people behind the scenes have been running the show, then who are these people?

Take a look at the Twitter Files, the whole deplatforming and cancel culture within the US, and decisions against other countries around the world. Also, see what is happening now concerning the targeting of Trump.

And you suddenly start to wonder if a certain group within the intelligence establishment in the US has taken over the power reins.

Is the world being run into the ground by a bunch of overzealous intelligence operatives?

NATO, for example, has been making inexplicable moves of not just antagonizing Russia and China but even preparing for an all-out war with Russia. Something that Putin is not oblivious to.

We are looking at the specter of a real World War!

Why would the "behind-the-scenes" Intelligence operatives take such iron-clad control over the United States?

Because a democratically governed society will be unsuitable to fight a global war.

Think of it seriously.

An opaque government that is answerable to no one can quickly shift the society to a complete dictatorship without the interference of any real leader at a moment's notice. A real leader would demand answers and would follow his own course - maybe ask for some accountability. And even try to stop a devastating war.

The masked deep state operatives would look at that as a hindrance and a roadblock.

So why bother with a real leader of the government? Specifically one who will undermine your power and take his own course.

That is why in the last few years the dark side of the deep state may have aligned itself with the more easily bending political party at the moment - the Democrats.

And started targeting the only man who stood between them and the complete lock-down level control of society - Donald Trump!

Only that would seem to be the most plausible argument for what is happening in the United States!

While the world prepares for the next great war's first globally devastating offensive.

Preparing for the major offensive of the World War III?

The American allies are meanwhile getting their troops ready as if that will help in an all-out nuclear war where nothing will be out of bounds.

Recently, Gen. Stephen Whiting, the commander of U.S. Space Command, told the Aspen Security Forum that Russia was developing space-based nuclear weapons.

It is not just Russia that is moving quickly in this area, but China as well.

Of course, behind the holier-than-thou jargon from the military, one can glean that the US is already leading in that area that the Russians and the Chinese are trying to catch up in.

That is why it is not for nothing that experts now believe that the next world war will start in space.

The first shot of the next war between the world’s big powers, it is often said, will be fired in space. As conflict spreads on Earth, ill omens are emerging in the firmament. As countries race to develop new capabilities in space, some are also building the forces and weapons to fight beyond the atmosphere. On January 28th Iran said it had launched three satellites; Western countries fear they could be used in its ballistic-missile programme. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has opened a new chapter in space war. But America’s biggest dread is China, which seeks to match if not surpass America’s primacy in the heavens. Admiral Christopher Grady, vice-chairman of America’s joint chiefs of staff, explains it bluntly: “Space has emerged as our most essential warfighting domain.” (Source: "War in space is no longer science fiction" / The Economist)

So when you look at cyberattacks and the vulnerabilities that the Crowdstrike outage demonstrated, one needs to remember that a test-run of space-originating cyber outage as a precursor to the launching of a war has already been done!

Satellites rendered inoperational would mean switching off of the internet, takedown of the GPS, and critical military communications taken offline.

With that as the going-in salvo, the powers in the battle will start their first offensive.

Before the hell breaks lose.

If that were to be so, then every outage may be a data point. To see what will happen and how can an offline preparation response be quickly put together.

Trump meanwhile, in a strange twist of fate, could be the only person standing between now and the end of the world!
