CrowdStrike cybersecurity that was a key player in the Trump Russiagate Hoax, uploaded what it called a “defect” that bluescreen locked-up Microsoft’s global corporate and government servers, just as the Republican Party unified to nominate former President Trump triumphantly accepted the Republican 2024 Presidential nomination.
CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz admitted the disaster was due to a “defect in a single content update for Windows hosts.” That is corporate word salad for one of the world’s dominant cybersecurity antivirus and cyber-attack prevention providers tothe Global 1,000, updated billions of computers running Windows 365 and Azure with the same “blue screen of death” that ransomware criminals often use to “get paid large.”
Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann hired CrowdStrike to encourage the FBI to investigate the alleged 2016 Russian hacking of the Democratic National Committeecomputer network, whose password was “1-2-3-4.” The FBI assigned hard-core leftist agents who set off 5 years of investigations by falsely claiming Russiagate was a traitorously controlled by Republican nominee Donald Trump’s campaign.
It was poetic timing that CrowdStrike’s “defect” came as a unified and very diverse Republican Party Convention embraced former President Donald Trump’s presidential nomination; while supposedly pro-democracy Democrat leaders brought out the long knives to dump Biden, who won 100% of Democrat primaries and holds 99% of delegates and slide in Michell Obama or Hillary Clinton as their presidential nominee.
Senad Aruc, CEO of Imperum Security Operation Center platform, told the London-based Sun Newspaper described automated rollout of the CrowdStrike software update was like the It doomsday episode in the Netflix series ‘Black Mirror.’ July 18th started normally, then all the planet’s interconnected computer shutdown causing chaos.
Aruc estimates the CrowdStrike failure will cost billions across the globe. The company that is owned by institutional investors,including Vanguard Funds, could be financially liable for some or all the business, government, and personal losses

Nice synopsis, Chriss.
