The ‘Blue Screen of Death’. With global disruptions impacting travel, banking, and even causing medical procedures to be rescheduled… it was only natural to ask — are we being attacked?
Nope. The chaos we’re seeing is the result of human error — and a company whose name you have head before, with a Hillary connection.
A glitch in Microsoft had cascading effects around the world. But Microsoft wasn’t to blame.
The ‘most serious IT outage the world has ever seen’ sparked global chaos today – with planes and trains grounded and businesses including banks, hotels and casinos shutdown.

For context, LaGuardia cancelled 30 flights.
Does the name ‘Crowdstrike’ ring any bells?
It should. Crowdstrike played a critical role in the scandal around the claims that Hillary’s campaign was hacked in 2016. The FBI never got access to the servers. But a company called Crowdstrike did. Public claims that Russians hacked Hillary’s servers are based entirely on Crowdstrike’s say-so.
This time, we’re hearing their name for a different reason.
The CEO of the cybersecurity firm at the heart of Microsoft’s worldwide outage choked on his words as he apologized for wreaking havoc early Friday – but couldn’t give a timeline for when everything would return to normal.
Crowdstrike CEO George Kurtz addressed the major tech outages after his company deployed a faulty software update to computers overnight that ended up grounding flights, knocking banks offline and media outlets off the air across the globe.
“We’re deeply sorry for the impact that we’ve caused to customers, to travelers, to anyone affected by this,” Kurtz said in an appearance on NBC’s “Today.”
At one point, a nervous-sounding Kurtz choked up and had to pause to sip water before explaining the cause of the massive disruptions.
“It wasn’t a cyber attack, it was related to this content update,” he said — NYPost

Obviously, they don’t have any answers yet. And it could be a while before they have any.
This timely little tome chronicles the politically incorrect ministry of one of God’s most effective wildmen, John the Baptist, who prepared the way for Christ’s ministry.
The abrasive message of repentance John preached 2000 years ago is still confrontational and offensive today — but it is also life-changing.
In our putrid, worldly culture that has turned away from God, this book is a must-read for every Christian.
Available in paperback for those of you who like the feel of the pages in your hot, little hands, on Kindle to keep it right at your fingertips, and as an epic Audiobook.
