CrowdStrike's massive blunder, which resulted in worldwide outages, has brought the company back on the radar of the American citizenry, who now remembers its work with the World Economic Forum, Vanguard, and the Democratic Party.
On July 19, 2024, CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz said that a "defect found in a single content update for Windows hosts" had led to a major breakdown in Microsoft operations.
This resulted in more than 18,000 flights being grounded across the globe, including 1,200 in the United States.
What's more, the crash brings the company back into the spotlight for yet another negative reason: The company has been synonymous with the political sphere for the better part of the last decade.
'Why didn't they allow the FBI in to investigate the server? I mean, there is so many things that nobody writes about.'
Many will remember CrowdStrike's appearance in headlines during the 2016 electoral campaign when the cyber-security company was called upon to investigate the alleged hacks of the DNC servers. The timeline of its collaboration with government entities is just as troubling today as it was then.
According to CrowdStrike's own timeline, "Russian intelligence gained access" to DNC networks at the "beginning of July 2015."
On July 13, 2015, CrowdStrike announced a $100 million investment led by firm Google Capital.
In September 2015, the FBI allegedly contacted the DNC to inform Democrats of a hack.
Months later, in 2016, CrowdStrike said it was hired by the Democratic Party to investigate an alleged hack that resulted in the release of the John Podesta emails, revealing Hillary Clinton's email server. By this point, the company already had former FBI employees on its payroll for some time.
This included Shawn Henry, executive assistant director of the Criminal, Cyber, Response, and Services Branch, who joined CrowdStrike in 2012.
CrowdStrike also announced on April 18, 2024, that it had hired Steven Chabinsky, a former deputy assistant director of the FBI Cyber Division, as its general counsel and chief risk officer.
CrowdStrike said it was contacted by the DNC on April 30, 2016, to collect intelligence and analyze the breach. The company added that the DNC was alerted about the hack by the FBI, but CrowdStrike was hired because the FBI doesn't "perform incident response or network remediation services when organizations need to get back to business."
CrowdStrike concluded on June 14, 2016, that Russia was "behind the DNC hack" and that its claim was "supported by the U.S. Intelligence community and also by independent Congressional reports."
This, of course, led to the "Russia, Russia, Russia" investigation into Donald Trump by a special counsel headed by Robert Mueller.
Trump was asked about CrowdStrike in April 2017 surrounding the leak of the Podesta emails. The implication was that Ukraine possibly possessed information that would clear Russia of any wrongdoing in relation to the hacks.
"They shouldn't have allowed it to get out. If they had the proper defensive devices on their internet, you know, equipment, they wouldn't even allow the FBI," Trump said. He then questioned why the FBI didn't investigate the hacks themselves.
"How about this — they get hacked, and the FBI goes to see them, and they won't let the FBI see their server. But do you understand, nobody ever writes it. Why wouldn't (former Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John) Podesta and Hillary Clinton allow the FBI to see the server? They brought in another company that I hear is Ukrainian-based."
"CrowdStrike?" an Associated Press reporter asked.
"That's what I heard. I heard it’s owned by a very rich Ukrainian, that’s what I heard. But they brought in another company to investigate the server. Why didn't they allow the FBI in to investigate the server? I mean, there is so many things that nobody writes about. It's incredible."
Then-President Trump mentioned the company by name in his phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the same phone call that led to his impeachment.
"I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine; they say CrowdStrike ... I guess you have one of your wealthy people. ... The server, they say Ukraine has it," Trump said according to CNN. "[William Barr will call] you or your people and I would like you to get to the bottom of it," Trump added.

'I wish I could say I was surprised, but I'm not.'
Not to be forgotten, CrowdStrike has been involved with the World Economic Forum for some time.
In August 2015, the WEF named it a "Technology Pioneer" for "driving visionary leadership and long-standing market value."
In 2020, the WEF started its partnership against cybercrime with a stated goal of "harness[ing] AI to Combat Cybercrime."
CrowdStrike is one of the companies involved in the partnership.

Also, Americans may be interested in learning that investment giant Vanguard is the largest shareholder of CrowdStrike shares, with a combined 12.41% ownership between Vanguard and Vanguard Index Funds. BlackRock also has ownership but at less than 1%.
“I wish I could say I was surprised, but I'm not," Return's Peter Gietl said of Vanguard's ownership. "Unfortunately BlackRock and Vanguard have bought up large stakes in many of the most important companies around the world. It becomes more and more clear that the 'free market' is a mirage on the macro level, and a few select, deep state approved companies have captured control of most industries," Gietl continued.
"What's particularly concerning about this outage is that CrowdStrike had kernel access to most of the systems around the world. This seems very dangerous, allowing a hacker or an accident to crash systems around the world. Never mind that a WEF partner has that level of system access," he added.
It should also be noted that Nancy Pelosi owns significant shares in CrowdStrike, having purchased between $500,000 and $1,000,000 worth of shares in 2020.
A page called Nancy Pelosi Stock Tracker, which monitors the politician's extremely profitable trading, claimed that she owns "millions in Crowdstrike."
Friendly reminder, Pelosi owns millions in Crowdstrike 💅

Is the idea of a “global cabal” just a conspiracy theory, or is there any truth to it?
Award-winning journalist Alex Newman thinks he may have an answer.
“I would say, first of all, there’s two ditches that one can fall into on these issues,” Newman tells Glenn Beck. “There’s the one ditch, and some people fall into this ditch, that these individuals, these organizations, are so powerful they practically attribute divine, God-like powers.”
“That’s ludicrous,” Newman continues. “They’re not God. They don’t control things.”
The other “ditch” people fall into when discussing the “global cabal” is that “‘there’s nothing to see here.’”
“It’s not just a nice non-partisan think tank,” Newman says, referencing the Council on Foreign Relations. While it's not just an innocent meeting of the minds, not every one of the elites involved is an “evildoing conspirator who wants to enslave humanity.”
“It’s a real group; it has been incredibly influential in setting policy in the United States for generations,” he explains.
While these global groups are full of many benevolent elites, they're also full of nefarious actors.
Glenn says that those behind it all feel that "the unwashed masses, they don’t understand."
So they need to get the media on their side.
“We’ll teach it to the media, so the media can help teach it to the people,” Glenn explains from their point of view, calling this "un-American" and a "brainwashing center."
One word that was taught to the media, and thus the American people, was “conspiracy.”
“This is something that the CIA tried to popularize as a term of ridicule,” Newman explains. “The word ‘conspiracy’ just means two or more people working in secret on some immoral, illegal, or nefarious objective.”
“We’re trained almost like Pavlov’s dogs, we’re conditioned to recoil in horror when somebody says the term ‘conspiracy,’” he adds.
Now Americans have been conditioned to look past what’s true if someone has labeled it a “conspiracy theory.”
“We’re in a world where truth is no longer a defense,” Newman says.

World Economic Forum founder and executive chairman Klaus Schwab has shocked the world by announcing that he's stepping down from his role running the WEF.
Schwab had founded the global gathering in 1971 and was operating as the executive chairman until now — though he won’t be leaving his brainchild. Rather, Schwab will be transitioning to a role as a nonexecutive chairman pending approval by the Swiss government.
While his successor has yet to be named, Glenn Beck and comedian Eric Hollerbach aren’t wasting the opportunity to poke a little fun at the global villain.
“Hello my slave, Glenn Beck-ing-hamming, how are you today,” Hollerbach says, impersonating Schwab’s fictional son, who they joke will now be running the WEF.
“I’m good,” Glenn laughs. “It’s interesting that you would agree to come on this particular program. I’m not sure how your father feels about people like me.”
Hollerbach, aka Klaus Schwab’s heir, tells Glenn that he hopes to make some “conversions” from Glenn’s side and that Schwab’s brain “is analog at this moment, and it will go to digitalization.”
“So, he was just kind of getting the upgrade,” Hollerbach jokes, adding, “It’s more of a lateral movement.”
When Hollerbach explains what the role of the WEF is, Glenn can’t help but laugh.
“We do certain rituals to ensure that we go up the food chain, closer and closer and closer to the great architect of the universe. And we are the embodiment to inherit earth incorporated,” he explains.
“People, like the average people, how are they going to benefit?” Glenn asks.
“Well, their slavery will be more like digital token. They will have equitable access to making labor or jails,” Hollerbach answers, embracing his power hungry character.

Last week, Glenn Beck sat down with independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for an extensive interview. The duo broached a wide range of subjects, including the World Economic Forum, NATO, the conflicts in Russia/Ukraine and Israel/Gaza, climate change, and of course, Big Pharma — which Kennedy has been incredibly outspoken about.
On that subject, Kennedy was quick to bring up the absurdity of how COVID-19 was handled, starting with Donald Trump.
“During COVID ... President Trump got rolled by his bureaucrats, and he came in saying, ‘I’m a businessman, I’m gonna run this place like a business,' [so] he gave the keys to all of our shops and stores and businesses to Tony Fauci and shut down 3.3 million businesses,” he told Glenn.
Glenn agreed wholeheartedly and followed with a question we all want answered: “What do you do to restore the trust [in the medical industry]?”
“What we now know because of the Wuhan lab ... [is] they’re messing with Ebola and they’re messing with Chikungunya and all of these really horrific diseases ... with 50%, 20%, 10% [mortality rates],” he told Glenn, adding that “of course some of them escape every year.”
Who’s behind this atrocity?
If you guessed Anthony Fauci, you’re correct.
Kennedy explained that when the Patriot Act was passed, it mandated “that any federal officer or employee who violates [the Geneva Convention or the 1973 Bioweapons Convention] cannot be prosecuted.”
“That relaunched the bioweapons arms race,” he said. The Pentagon “started redirecting all that money to Anthony Fauci to do bioweapons research.”
“So, why isn’t he in jail?” Glenn asked.
“He’s not in jail because Joe Biden is president,” was Kennedy’s frank answer.
That honesty perked up the ears of news outlets such as the New York Post and the Daily Mail, which published articles covering Glenn and Kennedy’s candid conversation.

Last week, independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sat down for an extensive interview with Glenn Beck. The two discussed a range of subjects, including the World Economic Forum (which Kennedy fittingly called the “billionaires boys' club”), the complexities of NATO, the depravity of Big Pharma, and the ongoing conflicts between Russia/Ukraine and Israel/Gaza, among other issues.
Glenn also pressed Kennedy on his thoughts regarding ESG, the Second Amendment, as well as the candidate's previous statements on climate change — one of which was aimed directly at Glenn.
At a Live Earth concert back in 2007, RFK Jr. made the following statement:
“So, I'm gonna tell you this, that the next time you see John Stossel or Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity — these flat-earthers, these corporate toadies lying to you, lying to the American public, and telling you that global warming doesn't exist — you send an email to their advertisers and tell them you're not going to buy their products anymore. This is treason and we need to start treating them now as traitors.”
“You’re smart enough to know what that means constitutionally,” Glenn said after reading the quote.
“I wouldn’t say that today,” was Kennedy’s humble response. “Part of the reason I wouldn’t say that is because I watched our country run over not only the First Amendment but all three arms of the First Amendment.”
He then cited the way the government “closed a million churches for a year,” “[rolled] over the rights of freedom of assembly,” “shut down 3.3 million businesses with no due process, no just compensation,” and “got rid of the Seventh Amendment” as the reasons he feels differently today.
“The First Amendment was not written to protect speech that we all want to hear. It was for the speech nobody wants to hear,” even if it’s “embarrassing,” “appalling,” or shares “ideas that are horrible ideas,” he told Glenn.
“I would never say anything like that today,” he continued, referring to his 2007 statement. “My thinking on it has evolved, and I can see how dangerous statements like that are.”

The Louisiana Senate unanimously passed a bill Tuesday that would bar the three leading globalist organizations from exerting power in and over the state.
Senate Bill 133 would specifically ensure that the World Health Organization, the United Nations, and the World Economic Forum "have no jurisdiction or power within the state of Louisiana."
The proposed law authored by Republican state Sens. Valarie Hodges and Thomas A. Pressly and state Rep. Kathy Edmonston would further prohibit the state and all governmental entities in Louisiana from implementing or enforcing rules, regulations, fees, tax policies, or "mandate[s] of any kind" tied to the globalist triad.
State Sen. Hodges (District 13) told Blaze News that SB133 "comes after years of attempts to secure our state sovereignty from the overreaching hands of the WHO, U.N., and WEF."
"We have watched a horror story unfold in front of us as time has shown that the 'recommendations' and coercive regulations from outside organizations such as the WHO have harmed hundreds of thousands of Americans who took a vaccine that they were told was safe and effective," said Hodges.
"Now, we are witnessing severe, long-term side effects and countless deaths because the 'experts' were wrong," continued the senator. "These organizations coerced and strong-armed Americans into medical decisions without clinical trials or long-term studies."
Hodges noted that it was especially critical to act now that Republicans control the legislature and the governor's mansion.
If passed by the House of Representatives and ultimately ratified by Gov. Jeff Landry, then the law would go into effect on Aug. 1, 2024.
While uncertain about what the federal government or the courts may do in response to the legislation, Hodges underscored, "We, as legislators, should not base our efforts on what the courts may or may not do — we must focus on doing the right thing."
Pressly took to X to express gratitude to his colleagues "for recognizing the importance of sovereignty in our decision making and passing this bill without opposition."
"State laws should be made by our state's elected officials not international organizations," wrote Pressly.
The Republican bill comes several weeks ahead of the May 27 vote by the World Health Assembly on the WHO Pandemic Preparedness Treaty: a legally binding pact "under the Constitution of the World Health Organization to strengthen pandemic prevention, preparedness and response."
Republicans have criticized the proposal in recent months.
Blaze News previously reported that Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.) claimed during a news conference in early February that the treaty suffers from "a slew of significant issues surrounding the proposed treaty — including lack of transparency, the back-room negotiations, WHO overreach and infringement on U.S. sovereignty, unknown financial obligations for U.S. taxpayers, threats to intellectual property rights and free speech, funding for abortion, and how the treaty will benefit China at the expense of the United States."
Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio), chairman of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus, also blasted the treaty at the news conference, stating, "Throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic, the WHO caved to the Chinese Communist Party rather than following the science."
Wenstrup added, "Now, the WHO wants to infringe upon our national sovereignty with their proposed 'pandemic treaty.'"

DOOMED! How we ALREADY know DEI Kamala’s campaign will FAIL
