The big cyber attack is coming. They just did this temporarily so that the enemy looks like an equal opportunity enemy.

I’d pay a ransom in bitcoin but only if they promise to keep them shutdown and expand to all msm.

I think the Black Hats are going to declare war, and we’ll see lots of hacking and internet outages. Retribution for the DOJ taking “their” money.

Hackers need to be hanged in public view, IMHO.

Perhaps a D.S. reminder to their mouthpieces that they not report on a number if juicy Covid, China,
Election Fraud, Iran, etc. stories that have been seen muliplying in “less mainstream” sources as they need to contain facts that keep supporting Trump’s being right all along.

They control the livelyhood of vast numbers of NY and DC liberals and cannot allow deviation s from the New Reset axioms.

I’m more of the opinion that it was our own government... what you folks like to call the “Deep State”...message being, “Be careful what you publish about the government, this administration and the election(s).”

They say it’s a company called “Fastly” that went down. I had a ball going to the lib sites and seeing them all down. CNN is back up, and leading with their January 6th crap. Was good while it lasted.

Given the complete corruption of our government from the top down to the lowliest SEIU janitor, it's a fair assumption.

“I’d pay a ransom in bitcoin”

How about a non-refundable advance in $$$? :)

“The big cyber attack is coming. “

The cyber attacks are what’s needed to fix the leaky security mechanisms in used today.
