What Are They Getting Us Ready For?
By Reset Intelligence | @EXIT_FIAT
On Thursday, Microsoft’s work email and apps went down across regions, and late into the night it still could not say why. Amazon and Google said their own systems were running normally.
It is the latest break in a month of them. Japan’s largest carrier, NTT Docomo, lost phone service twice, and schools across Italy, Ireland, Scotland and Northern Ireland got the same emailed bomb threat.
Who they say did it
The threat emails came signed in a new name each week, one claiming Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, another a Soviet-style “Mikhail Andropov”. The media’s pick is Russia. The think tank that files the wave as suspected Russian hybrid warfare admits “there is a good chance that European officials will never be able to prove that Russia stands behind these incidents.”
What else moved
• The rooms – Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner went from talks with Russia and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi, to over 2 hours with Putin in the Kremlin, to Dublin to brief Zelensky, in 3 days.
• Military bases – Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Attorney General Todd Blanche are reported to be living on military bases.
• Iran – Trump posted: “We don’t need a deal with Iran. Those days have long since passed.”
• The alert test – On Tuesday, November 17, at 2:20pm Eastern, FEMA and the FCC test the Emergency Alert System on every TV and radio station in the country.
• Budget – Saturday’s cabinet session on Iraq’s 2027 budget is off, the third slip in a row, after November 7 and November 10.
• Baghdad’s street – Baghdad’s shops sold $100 at 169,500 IQD on Thursday, against the Central Bank’s 152,000.
