IBM Facilities Now Deemed Legitimate (Military) Target, Along With GAFAM Bases

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 01, 2026

3 weeks ago: GAFAM Datacentres Are Facilities of War, So Risk of Downtime by Missiles or State-Sponsored Cracking Has Vastly Increased

Hours ago:

The Times of India: Iran's IRGC labels 18 US companies as 'terrorist”, names include Microsoft, Apple, IBM

"Microsoft in the cross hairs," an associate said light night, "almost literally" (citing this report).

"Iran is threatening serious action against those companies tomorrow. Those that stayed on FOSS will soon have a pronounced advantage over fools who fell for the GAFAM lies."

Notice how IBM, due to its dependence on the US government's teat, managed to also become a target for bombs/missiles/ground terror attacks.

IBM has also made allies with the person who asked the US to eliminate Iran's regime (this was reported in the press last month).

IBM Shakes Hands of Prince Mohammed bin Salman

Arvind's popularity inside IBM is so bad that IBM would never dare check (actually measuring it). Hours ago somebody wrote: "Arvind has burnt the company to the ground to collect the insurance money. He has irrevocably damaged the lives of thousands of high-achieving American workers. He is no success story. He is nothing but a parasite. Arvind is a traitor to his adopted country. I honestly wish he would "do the needful" and die already. All by itself that would make the world a much better place."

"The good talented people looking jobs usually do research about companies, and if they find this board they'll realize IBM let go all their good resources, which will turn anybody away from IBM," said another person in the same board.

Does IBM have any defences in place to protect against "downtime by explosions"? This poses a whole new kind of threat/challenge, which replication alone cannot compensate for (certainly RAID would not).
