The Man Behind the Crash of the Internet, By Brian Simpson

The CrowdStrike outage that led to the internet failing worldwide and short-term chaos, from not being able to get groceries, to surgery being cancelled. CrowdStrike was responsible for "Russiagate" getting started: https://www.rt.com/news/601364-crowdstrike-security-outage-russiagate/ Jimmy Dore discussed the activities of CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDmK1r77bAI&t=629s, and featured an interview Kurtz gave. It is most instructive to watch, although Dore gets angry and drops a few F-bombs, so be warned. Kurtz was asked by NBC Today, why there was no redundancy built into the update? Why no security in making updates? Kurtz stared literally chocking and diverted the question. The presenters did not hound him about why this outage should have happened at all, as bringing down the internet worldwide is highly significant.

Again, this shows the vulnerability of a computer-based society, with no such redundancy, and we can see once more the dangers of Central Bank Digital Currencies.
