Global Blackout Causes Major Disruptions in Key Infrastructure Systems

In the early hours of Friday, the 19th, a global blackout of unprecedented severity disrupted various critical infrastructure systems, with air transport and the global banking system being the most severely affected.

In this article, we will clarify the causes and implications of this worldwide system blackout and how the Dakila Ecosystem strategically maintains autonomy in the face of such challenges, including issues like the one posed by CrowdStrike.

Humanity’s progress from nomadic lifestyles to the establishment of modern societies based on settlements has increasingly relied on infrastructure products and services. The advent of currency, air transport, and the global expansion of telecommunications has not only reduced distances between people but also facilitated the monitoring and control of large populations. Advances in Information Technology (IT) have further simplified and reduced the cost of monitoring and directing information.

However, a dark web of control over individuals has also emerged. This control is so entrenched that minimal effort can disrupt the world, as seen in the current issue reportedly caused by a CrowdStrike software update in Microsoft systems, which alone holds a 72% market share. This is already considered the largest technological interruption in history.

According to a press release from the company, CrowdStrike (Nasdaq: CRWD) is the global leader in cybersecurity, redefining modern security with the world’s most advanced cloud-native platform to protect critical corporate risk areas—endpoints and workloads, identity, and cloud data. This company manages the highest levels of cybersecurity for computers that control various critical infrastructural systems and data centers of large corporate conglomerates; a supposed update to their software has halted these systems in a yet-to-be-measured manner.

“And possibly, intentionally.

To begin understanding the issue of this cyber dependency, consider this: almost all major web service providers are hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS), a gigantic cloud service managed by the global financial power center. Additionally, as reported by The Guardian, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), headquartered in the United States, has appointed seven people worldwide to literally hold the keys to the Internet.

“Yes, seven people can shut down the entire global computer network.

So, how can we achieve the strategic autonomy necessary to determine our future within this cyber realm?

The Dakila Ecosystem, through its think tank Dakila Research, seeks to address this obstacle that hampers quality of life improvements and restricts people’s freedom. To this end, we have autonomously developed various computational technologies and sophisticated Big Data tools, the most powerful being BDM, and founded the BDM Bank to help you escape this web of control by the global power center and gain the strategic autonomy you need.

“And what is this strategic autonomy, and how do our technological tools relate to it?

Strategic autonomy refers to the ability of individuals and organizations to plan and execute their plans independently, without relying on or being hindered by others, in strategically important areas for the advancement of their plans and well-being.

It is the capacity that our associates, clients, and collaborators have to autonomously decide how they will achieve their objectives. It means breaking free from the encapsulation created by the global power center to pursue life achievements without various restrictions and impediments. And the most important of these technological tools is BDM.

By obtaining BDM and participating in the BDM Bank, one can easily and simply circumvent these problems (such as those posed by AWS and CrowdStrike, for example).

“With BDM and the BDM Bank, your strategic autonomy will be secured
