WOW!




A few nights ago Azure, the Microsoft cloud hosting service suffered a major outage, followed the next morning by the Crowdstrike outage.

There is more to this than you know.517 KB PNGAzure hosts many systems - websites, corporate servers, virtual machines,even LLM's.

On one of these Azure machines the WH was hosting an Al dataset and model, used to generate Joe Biden (and other administration execs) videos and audio.

They spent significant time and storage to build this out, giving them the ability to place him in all manner of realistic scenarios. When Azure was taken down, the Joe Biden Al was also taken down.

Data suggested this was an intrusion from a foreign actor...In a panic, the WH ordered CrowdStrike to push out an update that would enable to them to track exfiltrated data from the Azure instance, in hopes of preventing it from getting out of their control.

Crowdstrike rushed the job and ended up sending out a bad driver, which bricked a million Fortune 500 workstations.

This created two problems - one, Biden was now a liability because a foreign actor likely had the Al module and could impersonate him.

This meant he had to go. Two, they didn't have the model themselves and couldn't make any new Biden videos.

This is why he has not appeared in public, why he dropped out, and why they are scrambling like chickens with their heads cut off.

European Commission investigates the idea of an EU Asset Registry​

By BrusselsReport.eu
August 30, 2021

The European Commission is investigating the idea of an EU Asset Registry. It has published a tender for a “Feasibility Study for a European Asset Registry in the Context of the Fight [Against Money Laundering] and Tax Evasion”.

The tender specifies to “aim at exploring how to collect and link information available from various sources on asset ownership (e.g. land registries, company registers, trusts and foundations registers, central depositories of securities ownership, etc.) and analyse the design, scope, and challenges for such [an EU] asset registry.”

With regards to which assets would be registered, the document, published in July, notes:

“The possibility to include in the registry data related to the ownership of other assets such as cryptocurrencies, works of art, real estate, and gold, shall also be considered.”

The idea is that the study provides an overview of the possible resources such a registry would rake in, while it would cover operational and IT challenges, the political and legal feasibility and technical implementation.

More details can be found here.

Todays PBD podcast is worth a watch.

In specific at the 25 minute mark they go over some interesting details about the shooting. Some of has been mentioned some here and there ITT but they tie it together pretty well.

Also first time I’ve heard the local police did not have their body cams on during the event? Some very weird coincidences.
