Just a little past Noon today, Apple and its large number of services were taken offline today, receiving the baton passed on to them from other large web services that have been facing outages and glitches since last year, and rolling into this year.
The Verge reported, ‘Reports of issues hit Downdetector shortly after 12PM ET, though reports look to have fallen in the hours since the outages were first reported. The Verge staff experienced scattered problems with iMessage and other key services, although the problems haven’t been impacting everyone equally.’
‘Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman also reported that Apple’s corporate and retail systems are down as well — which, according to this tweet, appears to mean that some Apple Store employees have had to do their work on paper,’ the outlet added.
These glitches have since been fixed after a few hours.
Right around the same time these outages began, purportedly an outage with Apple’s servers, President Biden also gave warning about the threat of cyber attacks from the likes of Russia.
American Military News published his statement, which says:
This is a critical moment to accelerate our work to improve domestic cybersecurity and bolster our national resilience. I have previously warned about the potential that Russia could conduct malicious cyber activity against the United States, including as a response to the unprecedented economic costs we’ve imposed on Russia alongside our allies and partners. It’s part of Russia’s playbook. Today, my Administration is reiterating those warnings based on evolving intelligence that the Russian Government is exploring options for potential cyberattacks.
From day one, my Administration has worked to strengthen our national cyber defenses, mandating extensive cybersecurity measures for the Federal Government and those critical infrastructure sectors where we have authority to do so, and creating innovative public-private partnerships and initiatives to enhance cybersecurity across all our critical infrastructure. Congress has partnered with us on these efforts — we appreciate that Members of Congress worked across the aisle to require companies to report cyber incidents to the United States Government.
My Administration will continue to use every tool to deter, disrupt, and if necessary, respond to cyberattacks against critical infrastructure. But the Federal Government can’t defend against this threat alone. Most of America’s critical infrastructure is owned and operated by the private sector and critical infrastructure owners and operators must accelerate efforts to lock their digital doors. The Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has been actively working with organizations across critical infrastructure to rapidly share information and mitigation guidance to help protect their systems and networks
If you have not already done so, I urge our private sector partners to harden your cyber defenses immediately by implementing the best practices we have developed together over the last year. You have the power, the capacity, and the responsibility to strengthen the cybersecurity and resilience of the critical services and technologies on which Americans rely. We need everyone to do their part to meet one of the defining threats of our time — your vigilance and urgency today can prevent or mitigate attacks tomorrow.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
No coincidence here, I’m sure…
I had been covering a lot of these different outages last year, warning that an even bigger “cyber attack” is coming. Of course, it will be the elites literally flipping a switch that turns everything off, but that won’t matter when Mad Max breaks out in the streets.
Jen Psaki Discusses Biden’s Executive Order To Give China Access To U.S. Power Grid
These deliberate outages, as I called them in times past, are just test runs so the think tanks can view live experiments to see what the reaction will be from the masses, which is enough to gauge what a massive one would do to the populous.
The “Grand-Daddy” is coming soon, so be ready for that, and know it when it does happen, so you don’t panic like the rest of the lemmings who are bewitched by their devices.
The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.
Proverbs 21:12
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

It’s really hard to tell exactly how this will play out. How far the Lord will let this progress.

On one hand, I believe that when the Lord addresses ‘Gog’ the chief prince, it’s as when he speaks to the king of Babylon, Belshazzar, but also, & on the other hand, to the spirit, Satan, behind him in Isaiah 14. And, also that there are both pre-millennial and time of Jacob’s trouble/Daniel’s 70th week, AND end of millennial reign fulfillments. Trying the nations of our age on one hand, & then the nations of those born during Christ’s millennial reign, with Satan and this ‘Gog’ released & having their last ‘hurrah’ through some future man of sin.

But when speaking of these wars, horses are spoken of. And also at Armageddon. Both the spiritual & angelic sort, and the regular, flesh & blood, sorts we know & see today. So we have visible, temporal blood & flesh horses present, as well as those types in the word that caught Elijah up into heaven (2 Kings 2 KJB), or Zechariah 6 & Revelation 6 KJB, that are spiritual & more difficult to define or comprehend so that we simply believe by faith.
–
I think there could possibly be a tie-in here to the pagan spirituality & ‘alien/angel’, supers/mighty men of old, men of renown corruptions of Gen 6 & afterwards.

So, I have some trouble reconciling how the mark connectivity could be digital, while the system collapsing causes them to revert back to pre-industrial age technology.
–
It would have to come about maybe with the fall of MYSTERY? Their counterfeit crumbling but the devilish power cloaked behind it remaining & the spiritual warfare visible? Perhaps a so-called ‘advanced alien’ technology? Though lightning is associated with Baal & Satan, and with the Lord’s power & might, vengeance etc….and those angelic beasts of Ezekiel, the cherubs.
–
Time & technology-wise (as we know it today& as far as I can tell), there is an overlap of sorts there, with the crises of the first part of that time taking out huge swathes of their system, & then the supernatural events of 9-11 which would seem to be broadcast worldwide as the world rejoices at the death of the two witnesses, but then goes silent & fearful with foreboding at their witnessed resurrection & ascension, & the falling of the sudden destruction as described in 1 Thess 5, Revelation 13-19??
–
That would put the actual wars both in the very final days, weeks maybe, of the last half of that terrible seven years. I thought, well, maybe they only have connectivity in the ‘smart cities’, centers, hubs, whatever they call them……so they’d need to use horses outside of those places. But that doesn’t seem to really jive, or to harmonize with all of scripture, either.

The main thing is for us to trust& look to the Lord, being guided by the Spirit and the word, through it all, & be found obedient in what we do know for certain from the scriptures, the rule for all of life & practice in the churches (can meet in buildings, not the buildings given mystical significance, or temples in the sense of OT religion of the Law pre-Christ & new man salvation, indwelling by the Spirit) …the commission of Christ as found in the closing chapter of the Gospels & first chapter of Acts. Keeping Christ according to the scriptures our first love, and with nothing between.
