One Failed NIC Strands 20,000 At LAX

The card in question experienced a partial failure that started about 12:50 p.m. Saturday, said Jennifer Connors, a chief in the office of field operations for the Customs and Border Protection agency. As data overloaded the system, a domino effect occurred with other computer network cards, eventually causing a total system failure. A spokeswoman for the airports agency said airport and customs officials are discussing how to handle a similar incident should it occur in the future.

I don't believe any of it

Just not, I think it was deliberate, some org trying to see how they could gum up the system easily. I just don't think they want to admit they got hacked.

Zero proof, I just never take governmental reasons for spectacular failures at face value any longer. I used to when I was younger, but after seeing 7,892 lies in a row-well, I just don't trust them on anything important, and I don't believe in coincidences. That is my default position. Whatever they say first-is a lie until proven otherwise, and proof that would convince me is not some spokesperson claiming such and such.

There's too much weird stuff going on, especially with the markets and money supply and an apparent outright war with some global factions in this weird economy, and I think they are going to need a serious public emergency distraction real soon now to take the heat off the ongoing meltdown, and it IS melting down right now. Those failures are not accidents in other words, nor are a lot of the other "failures" we are seeing lately, I think they have been mostly all attacks by parties at this time unknown.

It just *stinks* to me, way too much BS being spoon fed to everyone in the media for it all to be true facts. Too much in a short time frame...just ain't buying it. And the rats deserting the sinking ships, a lot of biz execs bailing out, obvious collusion with artificially propping up some fatcats, weird murmurings from overseas..looks like historically all the major shifts before WW1, very similar.

Any one event, sure, a couple, possible, not these dozens of weird events in such a short time frame....nope, not probably unless it is on purpose. This is asymmetrical warfare, or false flag, or tests or probes or...dang something. It stinks. If I could pion it down better I would, but I am looking at this daily and if see something that makes it all fit I'll do another journal entry about it.

I've been antsy about all my preps lately,. moreso than usual, even for a fanatic like me.

I'll say one thing, keep your battery supplies good and have the best possible water filter handy, and a shortwave radio with some freqs programmed in, and take another look at the bugout bags if that is what will be needed because of where folks live, and make sure you have a good supply of h95 masks and assorted other medkit stuff. I got a feeling some cities are going to be hurting soon. And that's all it is, a feeling, can't get better than that at this time.

Infrastructure "failures", economic shenanigans and bailouts, military moves, threats, warnings, alleged "chatter", federal power consolidation efforts, stpped up command/control/surveillence, and etc and so on. All the headlines lately taken as a gestalt. It just smells bad to me, but I can't at this time tie it all together, just the number and timing of them. It's excessive, even though we are always seeing failures and weird events, it just seems "too much, too fast" lately. That's the best I can put it right now. Keeps looking like some major S is going to HTF, as the expression goes.

Also, my post reply was initially for a journal entry, I would have phrased it differently and expanded a bit if it was intended to be a general main page article reply. Frequent readers of JC's journal would more know what I was talking about. HTH

Thanks alot! I just had to look up "felching". Now I'll have that disgusting imagery in my mind the rest of the afternoon!

If it was running Ubuntu and had the same hardware, they could have experienced the same problem as these guys.

Apropos.
