Global Tech Outage Disrupts Services Worldwide - Helping Believers Understand It All
Yesterday’s worldwide tech outage put tens of millions of people around the world in danger, as Microsoft technology products - which power many of the systems that in turn power your every day life - crashed due to an error from cyber security firm CrowdStrike.
Overall, we were fortunate that severe damage - such as planes falling out of the sky and mass failures of infrastructure - were avoided. But, the events yesterday did provide a real wake-up call for just how vulnerable we are due to our dependence on these things.
As you read this special report from Sherloc Market Research, keep the following verses handy for yourself, and for others that you encounter who will have questions:
"Therefore let us not sleep as do others, but let us watch and be sober."
" I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which all the day and all the night continual shall not cease: ye that are mindful of the Lord, keep not silence.”
"Walk wisely toward them that are without, and redeem the season. Let your speech be gracious always, and powdered with salt, that ye may know how to answer every man."
We’ll dive into our special report from Sherloc Market Research, right after this.
Did you realize that even something like a solar flare can knock out your electronics? Or kill your car?
Yes, you could be partying like it’s 1859 in the snap of a finger…
Yikes.
Best to be protected right? But what to do?

Watchmen, Be Vigilant!
In the heart of a technologically driven world, yesterday's significant IT outage serves as a stark reminder of our vulnerabilities.
Major platforms from Microsoft have been paralyzed, leaving hospitals, transportation networks, and businesses scrambling.
This crisis reveals deeper systemic issues and suggests a pattern that aligns with broader control agendas.
Key Events and Insights
1. Microsoft and CrowdStrike's Failures
Microsoft's outage has thrown global services into disarray. The company reported: “Our telemetry shows consistent signs of recovery from 0945 UTC onwards across multiple regions and services. Most customers should now see full recovery as WAN networking has recovered fully.”
This widespread disruption highlights our overreliance on a few tech giants.
Bible Verse To Remember: Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, and against the worldly governors, the princes of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness, which are in the high places.
Context: This verse reminds us that the true battle is against unseen forces and powers. In today's context, it underscores the influence and control exerted by major corporations and governments over our daily lives through technology.
2. Healthcare Systems Disrupted
Global healthcare systems are in turmoil. Reports indicate: “Health systems worldwide face disruptions as global digital outage leads to cancellations of procedures and reliance on handwritten records.” Hospitals are struggling, reverting to manual processes.
Bible Verse To Remember: John 10:10
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and have it in abundance.
Context: This verse highlights the destructive nature of the enemy. The disruptions in healthcare can be seen as a modern manifestation of attempts to undermine and destroy, emphasizing the need for resilience and faith in overcoming these challenges.
3. Transportation Network Chaos
Transportation networks have been severely affected. “Planes, trains grounded, and boats stopped; Las Vegas casinos and Premier League tickets cancelled,” reports the Daily Mail.
Bible Verse To Remember: Mark 13:35
Watch therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, at the cock crowing, or in the dawning.
Context: This call to vigilance is crucial in today's scenario. The unexpected nature of such outages reminds us to always be prepared for disruptions, both physical and spiritual.
4. Economic and Social Implications
The economic impact is substantial. “The financial repercussions of these outages are significant, with businesses losing productivity, revenues plummeting, and the broader economy taking a hit,” noted one source.
Trust in digital infrastructure is eroding.
Bible Verse To Remember: Proverbs 29:2
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people sigh.
Context: This verse speaks to leadership and its impact on society. The current situation highlights the consequences of placing too much power in the hands of a few, stressing the need for righteous and just leadership.
5. Cloud Services and Dependency
“Cloud” services have been severely disrupted. Microsoft's report mentioned: “Outage disrupted multiple services including GCS and BigQuery, preventing customers from accessing their data.”
The reliance on cloud services for data storage and processing has significant repercussions.
Bible Verse To Remember: Psalms 146:3
Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, for there is no help in him.
Context: This verse reminds us not to place our trust in human institutions or leaders. In the context of today's IT outages, it highlights the importance of diversifying and decentralizing our dependencies to avoid being caught off guard.
We’ll take a look at the broader implications of this never-before-seen event in a moment.

Broader Implications
The concentration of technology infrastructure in the hands of a few tech giants creates significant vulnerabilities.
These companies' control over vast amounts of data and service delivery positions them as gatekeepers of the digital economy. Any disruption can have profound economic implications, reinforcing power dynamics in favor of these entities.
The outages and the dependency on digital infrastructure can also have political and social implications. The ability to disrupt services can be used as a tool for control, influencing public perception and behavior. This aligns with concerns about the deep state's potential to leverage such vulnerabilities to advance a broader agenda of centralized control and surveillance.
The recurring nature of these outages and the apparent inability (or unwillingness) of major tech companies to prevent them suggest a deeper, more coordinated effort.
The alignment of these disruptions with the interests of a globalist agenda—centralizing control, undermining trust in decentralized systems, and consolidating power—points to the involvement of deep state actors. These players stand to benefit from a world where digital infrastructure is tightly controlled and monitored.
It is crucial for the public to be aware of these dynamics and to push for greater transparency and accountability from tech giants and government agencies.
Bible verse to remember: 1 Peter 5:8
Be sober, and watch: for your adversary the devil as a roaring lion walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.
Pulling It All Together
These outages reveal significant vulnerabilities in our reliance on a few major tech companies for essential services.
The roles of Microsoft and CrowdStrike, whether through incompetence or complicity, highlight a broader trend toward centralization and control.
These failures and their wide-reaching impact suggest an agenda that aligns with globalist objectives, emphasizing the importance of maintaining vigilance and pushing for resilient, decentralized alternatives.
Action Steps
Here are your keys to victory to be better prepared for such disruptions:
Diversify Data Storage: Avoid relying solely on cloud services. Maintain local backups and consider using multiple cloud providers to reduce risk.
Enhance Physical Preparedness: Equip homes and businesses with backup power supplies, such as generators and solar panels, to ensure continuity during outages.
Develop Redundant Communication Channels: Establish alternative communication methods, such as ham radios and satellite phones, to stay connected when digital networks fail.
Invest in Hard Copies: Keep hard copies of critical documents and manuals to ensure access to essential information during digital outages.
Stay Informed and Networked: Join like-minded communities to share knowledge and resources. Staying informed about potential threats and solutions enhances overall preparedness.
Advocate for Decentralization: Support policies and initiatives that promote decentralized infrastructure and reduce dependency on a few major tech giants.
Bible verse to remember: Galatians 6:9
”And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”
