On September 30, U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth launched FORTRESS, which calls for all U.S. military bases to be prepared for 90-day standalone operations. In other words, they are to be ready, in the event of a cyberattack, to operate independent of the civilian grid for 3 months, by generating their own power, water, and fuel.
On October 22, the UK government launched the Be Ready Campaign, which is a three-year emergency preparedness initiative to help households manage on their own for up to 72 hours or 3 days, during service disruptions from a cyberattack.
The European Union (EU) has adopted the guiding motto, “Ready for Anything.” It is designed to help its 27 member countries and more than 450 million people to prepare to be self-reliant for at least 72 hours or 3 days in the event of a cyberattack or geopolitical conflict. According to the EU’s Crisis Commissioner, being ready for anything is “our new European way of life.”
In light of all of the above, one doesn’t have to don the tinfoil hat of a crazy conspiracy theorist to suspect that our government, along with others all around our world, not only know something we don’t know, but also something that we are not being told, lest planetary public panic ensue.
Now, I don’t want to ever be a tinfoil hat wearing crazy conspiracy theorist or one of the internet’s nutty nutcases who champion crazy conspiracy theories. Still, as we all learned, or at least should have learned, during the COVID-19 pandemic, our government, as well as others all over the world, can’t be trusted as far as we can spit. Our government, as well as others, were anything but transparent and straightforward. Instead, they deliberately misinformed and mislead us, telling us, as Dr. Anthony Fauci called them, “noble lies” for our own good.
It is imperative that we be wide-eyed in these Biblically predicted perilous times of the last days, as well as in the unprecedented threat environment these perilous times are presenting to us. If we are to provide for and to protect our families as best as we can, we must become children of Issachar, men and women who understand the times and know what ought to be done (1 Chronicles 12:32). This means that we can ill-afford to gullibly take our government at its word, since its word has repeatedly been proven unreliable and untrustworthy.
Albert Einstein once said, “Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth.” In view of Einstein’s warning and being very wary of my own government, I for one am not convinced that we’re not currently toddling on the cliff’s edge of a catastrophic cyberattack. In fact, I suspect our government, as well as others throughout the world, not only suspect it, but our shrouding it, lest we all become scared over it. Therefore, I’m going to innumerate numerous incidents that I believe incontrovertibly prove our vulnerability to a catastrophic cyberattack, as well as how fragile our computer-run country is in today’s dangerous digital world. Obviously, you’re free to form your own opinion, to dismiss as coincidence, and to accept our government’s explanations for all that follows, but if I were you, I’d seriously think and pray about it before I jumped to any conclusions.
1. Just before this year’s midterm elections, an attempted breach of our Federal Elections Commission (FEC) occurred, which triggered major disruptions. For instance, the attempted breach forced the FEC to shut down its electronic filing system, which prevented political campaigns and organizations from submitting time-sensitive financial disclosures at a critical time in our election cycle.
2. On October 29, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced a massive data breach, which sources described as a "catastrophic" security incident. Not only were the identities and contact information of 40,000 DHS employees and contractors, including 10,000 ICE agents and personnel, as well as 20,000 U.S. Customs and Border Protection employees compromised, but the so-called anti-fascist hackers, who call themselves the “Department of Peace,” published the information on a website called “Distributed Denial of Secrets.”
Needless to say, this incident greatly increased concerns about the security of our government personnel records, especially in light of other recent breaches of government data by nefarious hackers. For instance, before it was discovered by the Defense Manpower Data Center, the Pentagon’s personnel database was breached over an extended period of time, from October 2025 to July 2026. Consequently, sensitive personal information was exposed, which not only included the Social Security numbers of more than 2.76 million living U.S. military and civilian personnel, but also the Social Security numbers of 294,000 deceased individuals.
3. Again, on October 29, the same day as the massive data breach of our Homeland Security Department, Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, suffered a so-called security incident, in which hackers stole $6.3 billion in cryptocurrency. These billions stolen in minutes served as a stark reminder of the fragility of our financial system. For instance, it brought back to mind the Flash Crash of 2010, when a computer glitch triggered a trillion dollar Stock Market crash in 36 minutes?
4. Also, on October 29, The New York Times published a story on Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, the world’s leader in artificial intelligence computing. According to The Times, Jensen Huang was having an affair with a Chinese spy named Alice Huang. Since this story was first reported in The Times, we’ve learned that Alice was one of Jensen’s numerous mistresses, that she worked for a dummy datacenter firm named Megaspeed, and that she was a Chinese intelligence asset, attempting to smuggle Nvidia’s most sophisticated computer chips into communist China. Of course, Jensen Huang has now resigned in disgrace as CEO of the company he founded, Alice Huang is now safe back home in Red China, and Nvidia stockholders have lost billions of dollars and the company itself $1.76 trillion in value.
Although you, like most Americans, have probably forgotten, this is not the first time the communist Chinese have had Nvidia in their crosshairs. In January of 2025, Beijing dubiously claimed that an obscure Chinese company named Deepseek was able to produce artificial intelligence at a fraction of the cost of American companies. The result of this Beijing baloney was not only Nvidia suffering the largest one day stock market loss in history, $593 billion, but also other American tech stocks taking a nosedive as well, which many predicted at the time would ultimately amount to a loss of more than $1 trillion.
5. This past Thursday, Microsoft suffered a 36-hour global outage that affected hundreds of millions of users, as well as schools, businesses, hospitals, courts, government offices, and airlines. This outage, however, was not unprecedented. In 2024, Microsoft suffered a similar global outage that crippled airlines, banks, large corporations, small businesses, media broadcasters, and telecommunications providers. Of course, in both instances, we were told that the global outages were caused by computer glitches and were nothing for any of us to be concerned about.
6. Yesterday, for the second time since 9/11, the United States had a nationwide grounding of all air flights. According to our government, this extraordinary four-hour ground stop, ordered by our Federal Aviation Administration, was caused by the changing of a router and its copper wire to a fiber wire in a remote location, which singlehandedly caused our antiquated and dilapidated air traffic control system to overload.
7. Finally, at the same time of yesterday’s nationwide ground stop, Workday, a business software company that handles payroll and resource management for thousands of companies, such as Walmart and Target, as well as government agencies, such as the U.S. Department of Energy and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, also experienced a major outage.
