Do you think the global outage is truly an 'oops' or do you think something deeper happened and it's a dry run for something bigger later? I didn't even know it went out.

Nah, not really. It's just a piece of the puzzle.
Wanna know what's coming? Full authoritarian internet censorship. There likely won't be anyone who can stop it anymore either at this point.
Want to know why media and politicians are elevating a pro-censorship "whistleblowers" — who is clearly not a whistleblower and reeks of a psyop?
The Pandora Papers.
Ever heard of them? Wouldn't be surprised if you haven't. In fact, most people haven't. That's what's so staggering about it.
I'm sure many are wondering what they are, so I'll explain.
The Pandora Papers are an aggregation of 12 million documents that were leaked recently that contain the financial information of a huge amount of elites and their off-shore bank accounts. It's the single largest leak of elite finances of all time.
Tell me, don't you think that's something that should be the absolute biggest story in the entire world right now?
We're talking nearly every big name globally that you can think of having their off-shore accounts exposed to the public — including a shit ton of tax information or very likely even certain transactions made.
Think the elites are going to be pleased that all of this info got out?
Coincidentally, there was supposed to be some big release of information that occurred, but it got delayed because of the outages affecting many services.

Honestly, I'd love to get myself a copy on an external hard-drive to sift through. It may be 2.3 terabytes of information but I'm sure there's some gems of information waiting to have connections made just sitting there.
No idea if there's an online copy or a copy at all anywhere, though.
Pandora Papers is through the same group that did the Panama Papers, which was a heavily curated release designed to push a political agenda against Russia?
Which is precisely why I said what I said in my first post.
Ideally, I would like it if some of the members of the ICIJ released the papers publicly so that people could crowdsource, investigate, and find connections. In reality, it almost seems as if these "journalists" are more concerned with getting credit and winning prizes than they are discovering the truth, though.
The information itself is far too large for any group of independent investigative journalists to sift through. Even if they had thousands of members, we're talking about 12 million documents. In the unlikely event that they somehow are capable of sifting through it all, their resources are spread so thin that there's a high probability that important information will be missed altogether. There's no way any single individual can know what they're looking for after all.
This should be common sense, in my opinion. That's why I believe it's about glory-chasing.
While much of what they've researched previously has all involved tax crap, with a cache of documents that large there's bound to be information that can be used to glean connections to other things as well.
