Crowdstrike Ukraine Servers Fail. Take Down Much Of The World Internet
Emergency Phone Services Fail. Airlines Cancel Hundreds of Flights.
Effects Felt From Britain to Australia.

This capture from Flightradar shows the impact on airlines alone of the sudden problems caused by the failure of what is claimed to have been a security software upgrade on the Crowdstrike computers.
Icons in orange shows hundreds of airports that either cancelled flights, or grounded incoming planes.
There is also an excellent video here with details of how the world was affected.
Apart from who knows how many people are still stranded far from home, multiple (thousands of) businesses were suddenly out of business.
Without claiming it is a certainty, there is reason to wonder whether this has something to do with President Trump winning nomination as the Republican party’s contender for the US presidency.
Unlike the Democrats, who tend to dot their Ts and cross their eyes (and now want Biden to drop out), the Republicans are more than confident that their man can win. But that’s provided there IS an election come November.
The moment Trump accepted his nomination certain laws came into effect.

One of them enabled him to once again gain full access to National security briefings, information, and personnel. In fact, it is reported that the head of the Secret Service (which totally failed to prevent the assassination attempt at Butler PA ) had a meeting with President Trump at the RNC convention.
You’d certainly have to wonder how that went.

The connection I’m seeing between these worldwide Internet outages, and President Trump may seem tenuous, but it may also be close to the mark.
Those who do not have a FakeTV News mindset in their brains, have known for years that President Trump and an anonymous group known as White Hats are determined to rid the world of the nemesis that is the Deep State.
Trump has also said many times that if he were president right now, he could stop the war in Ukraine within 24 hours.
Well, surprise surprise, he now has the legal authority to call Ukraine’s puppet president (my term) Zelensky.
If I am correct, that call happened, coincidentally, at the time the Crowdstrike SNAFU (Situation Normal – All F’d Up) shut down probably millions of Microsoft PCs, which means the Internet went dark, leaving monitors displaying only the BSOD (Blue Screen of Death).
Of course, the regular media did the regular thing, reporting on problems from Alaska to India, throughout Europe and from Britain to Australia.
Reporters like me, or social media Influencers, if you prefer that term, are free to go the extra mile. And we do.
We study, research, dig, download, file, and remember stuff.
D’you remember that after his first call to Zelensky, the Democrats tred to impeach President Trump. They also accused him of colluding with Russia, and on and on for the past nine years.
And then this.

Which he survived, and received a hero’s welcome at the RNC convention.

It was after his election in 2016 that President Trump called Zelensky in Ukraine.
Trump’s inquiry was about the Crowdstrike servers being hosted there – but owned by a US company, and associated with the Dominion voting machines, which many now know for sure were used to rig elections wherever they were installed.
That may have been water under the bridge, but today (this day) we discover that the US company has some interesting personnel on board – including the founder.

The late (so they say) John McAfee and his associates developed one of the world’s most popular cybersecurity apps; and one of his contracts, if I recall correctly, involved one or more of America’s three-letter agencies.
McAfee himself is said to have died in a Spanish jail (“said to have”). But when I was researching that issue years ago, I came across this.

Among a large trove of screen captures, including images you don’t want to know about, was the following….
![](https://i0.wp.com/northstarnewsletter.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/McAfee-assets-01.png?resize=750%2C648&ssl=1)
The deadman’s switch that McAfee prepared was in essence a time bomb, waiting for delivery sometime in the future.
Is that time now? Who knows? Who can be sure?
Was it intended to be a “nuclear bomb,” wiping out (exposing) every evil person in an instant?
Or was it a cluster bomb, with slow fuses built in, so it would require a series of explosions (exposures) over time, before the MOAB (Mother of All Bombs) finally drives through all the covering layers of deceit and evil, and blows everything at the core wide open for all to see?
I know that paragraph smacks of hyperbole, or something, but here’s the thing. What if McAfee’s deadman’s switch meant that his employee, Kurtz, should start a company, get a grip on internet security software, have the servers hosted in Ukraine – and eventually, after helping the Deep State, via the Dominion voting machines, to oust Trump in favor of Biden…what IF that was the chess game plan?
I dunno mate!
So what if, as the movie draws towards its finale, things like Q and its cryptic coding, and Trump’s (Q++ they say he is) unobvious comms and language codes have all done their job?
What if we have finally reached Code Red – the Deep State finally crossed the red line, and it’s time to signal it’s now “all systems go” – which is why they both wore red this night?

Whatever the truth within these various scenarios, or speculations as they may be, Trump has once again won the hearts and minds of millions.
While to some he has what you’d call secrets to atone for, to those millions, he is the quintessential hero.
I’ll leave it at that.
And now I’ll watch this next video, partly because Christopher Maccio Performed ‘Nessun Dorma’ at RNC. Coincidentally (perhaps not?) it was an underscore in the movie, “The Sum Of All Fears.” Not that it was necessarily part of the signals by code that Trump has been known to use for many years – maybe, maybe not. More maybe than not in my view though.

About This Blog
Michael Knight has a 60-year background as an honest newsman in all media.
He created his website, blog and video channels as a one-man operation to expose the Deep State through hundreds of videos and articles – not for his own benefit, but to help people who (like he once was) are looking for truthful and factual information about current events – and the “silent” war that seems to be tearing the world apart.
Fortunately, the news has an up side – the future will be much better – because people like you – and millions of others worldwide – are going through the shocks of self discovery – doing their own research and finding uncomfortable and sometimes shocking facts that need to be brought to light in order to put an end to the evil among us.
While this is a voluntary “labor of love” for humanity, an endeavor such as this does have consistent overheads, and Michael cannot afford to cover all costs personally – which he did for many years.
To cover expenses his current objective is to have 50 people subscribe to this blog at the second tier level – which is $10 per month, recurring. That’s in exchange for articles that take at least 10 hours to do (not including many hours of research) or videos that require at least 2 hours per finished minute.
Therefore, although there is no obligation, donations definitely help keep the show on the road, especially for those who need this information in its free form but cannot afford to donate even if they wanted to.
You can also make one-time or recurring Donations at FundRazr (where you’ll find a short explanatory video as to why Michael started requesting donations after many years of doing this work for free).
