"This is not a DDoS attack, the games are over," the video statement said. "No money, no weapons, no Kiev regime – this is the formula for the death of Nazism and it will work."

It continued, "Within 48 hours we are launching this global company, nothing will save you and this is not a warning. I am just informing. You have never seen such problems before."

A report by the Gateway Pundit noted that the three "notorious hacktivist groups, KillNet, Anonymous Sudan and REvil," are generally not united.

Are hackers able to take down the European banking system?

"The three hacker groups declared their intention to unleash a massive cyber onslaught on the European banking system, threatening to bring it to its knees within '48 hours' (the information was relevant as of yesterday)," the report said.

The report continued, "Killnet’s leader, who goes by the alias Killmilk, has confirmed to Lente.ru [in Russia] that plans for the attack are already underway. The attack, as he revealed, is set to commence within the 'next 48 hours.'"

It said REvil is the group that hacked computers of Florida-based space and weapon-launch technology contractor HX5.

Anonymous Sudan, which takes credit for DDoS attacks against Microsoft Azure portal earlier this month, also pledged support for the cyber attack, the report said.

IMPORTANT NOTE: “Election denier!” “Science denier!” “Climate-change denier!” “Conspiracy theorist!” And then there’s “hate speech,” “fake news,” “disinformation,” “misinformation,” even something called “MALinformation.” A bizarre new lexicon has been conjured up by America’s elites, the SOLE PURPOSE of which is to discredit and ridicule – and if at all possible, CENSOR ENTIRELY – speech that doesn’t support their increasingly dark and deranged agenda. Tucker Carlson is just the latest.

In the greatest imaginable irony, the nation once boasting the most robust culture of freedom of speech and the press – undergirded by the strongest constitutional protections for those rights – is now ground zero for a total war on free expression.

How could this possibly happen in the United States of America? It’s all explained as never before in the sensational new issue of WND’s critically acclaimed WHISTLEBLOWER magazine, titled “THE ELITES’ ALL-OUT WAR ON FREE SPEECH.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
