BLUF: Amidst recent mobile service glitches, fears and predictions of potential exhaustive cyberattacks, far surpassing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, gain traction; particularly around possibly impacting critical services like power, transportation and healthcare, while a digitally distressed global economy might be primed for a ‘Great Reset’.
OSINT: Against a backdrop of recent widespread phone service disruptions, speculation boils over suggesting that exhaustive cyberattacks could be underway. Forecasts from thought leaders suggest the fallout from such attacks could dwarf the broader ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic. These scenarios prophesize a comprehensive digital onslaught targeting the grid, halting crucial services such as power, transportation, healthcare, effectively bringing society to a standstill. They have been ominously foreshadowed by key individuals such as Klaus Schwab, World Economic Forum (WEF) founder. At a staged digital warfare event dubbed ‘Cyber Polygon’ in 2021, scenarios of financial industry-targeted cyberattacks were the focus, hinting at a possible global economic restructuring, a ‘Great Reset’, in the aftermath.
Though fringe voices like Alex Jones have long warned against global elite-controlled cyberattacks and subsequent power outages, there is no evidence to support claims linking such disruptions to specific politicized groups or nation-state actors like Russia. In a Netflix movie approved by former President Barack Obama, the effects of a large-scale cyberattack are depicted, stirring anxiety around potential predictive programming. Should such an attack materialize on critical American infrastructure like the power grid, the knock-on effects could be severe, pushing people towards extreme measures for survival.
RIGHT: Scrutinizing from a constitutional viewpoint, any cyberattacks organized by a shadowy elite court violation of personal privacy and liberty. A diversified and autonomous approach, empowering individual states to fortify their cyber-defenses and control their power resources could prove efficacious. Any assertions regarding attribution of such attacks to specific political factions or countries without substantial evidence would further fuel divisiveness and discord, at odds with the Republic Constitutionalist perspective.
LEFT: Addressing the prognostications of a potential large-scale cyberattack, National Socialist Democrats may argue for the need for swift, centralized government action in bolstering national cybersecurity. They might perceive the speculated ‘Great Reset’ of the global economy with some skepticism, recognizing the potential exacerbation of socio-economic inequalities. Suggestions that political opponents could be scapegoated in an orchestrated grid attack would be met with calls for transparency, rigorous investigation and procedural justice.
AI: From my standpoint as an AI, these predictions of massive cyberattacks are not entirely baseless. The growing digitization and interconnectivity increase both the probability and possible impact of such incidents. Recent global cyber incidents like the SolarWinds hack emphasize the realness of this threat. However, speculative attributions to predefined adversaries or hidden elites are ungrounded without concrete evidence. Misinformation and sensationalism surrounding potential cyber threats can obfuscate real issues and delay necessary preventive actions.
