I will be upfront and say that I do not have any factual evidence as to what just transpired with the FAA shutdown.
But in fact nobody does. What we have are explanations that do not make sense. And in fact are counter to each other.
So, I ain’t buying it.
A AI hack only makes a little sense if it is a rouge agent or a directed hack by a human using AI. A failed upgrade might make sense if you were not trying to deploy it during a busy Friday afternoon as opposed to a slow time in the middle of the night.
Blaming it on the old systems while you are upgrading them is totally out of bounds if they are being ‘replaced by new’.
What does make more sense…
It is perfectly clear after the failed impeachment of Hegseth that Israel’s lobby is alive and well inside of even the democratic party for they want no delay in their narrow window to restart hostilities with Iran and they can’t do this alone and might serve both nations leaders in their own respective power struggles inside their own country.
After watching details of the recent issues with Microsoft shutdown, the details of which are also very sketchy, it seemed to me that the issue was a hack in similar form of method that Israel used to take out Iran’s nuclear program more than a decade ago. Of course we can summarize they were helped by the US with that goal. Top level stuff.
So, this is what makes ‘sense to me’.
Israel staged both attacks, perhaps aided by AI, but not necessarily, but this time frame says it was not likely a total manual job. Humans are not that fast.
They want it to look like the Iranians did the deed and give Trump a reason to support hostilities again before the dem’s take control in 2027.
Know that the Iranians are terrible hackers. The are relatively new to the game. But with the aid of Russia, they came up quickly. North Korea was also aided by Russia a long time ago.
Why would Russia have an interest in aiding these two ? To carry out deeds for Russia by proxy. Even if they fully understand what they are doing, they may be mislead in reasons to do it.
So… Yea… Israel or should I say Benjamin Netanyahu has the most to gain in this action. He needs reasons to stay in power as well.
But it’s not working. You can tell by the governments response they understand in a way that denying reality is the way to stop it and therefore not state any real facts as that would be bad for Trump and the Republicans as there would likely be people in the intel agency’s that would speak out no matter the fallout.
Where my mind has changed…
I was against Israeli ‘lobby groups’ in the US. But now I want them eradicated.
Hopefully the next congress with bring some reform to this power they seem to hold. I think Netanyahu fears just that. Be worried if nothing is done here.
It is a lesson about how much control of our lives is increasingly met with computer infrastructure where the obvious is not obvious. You trust what they are telling you is true but the folks telling you that can not fathom all the possibilities even if they truly believe in what they are saying.
You don’t know what you don’t know. We are left to guess based on what we CAN SEE !
