I just tried to access my Paypal account, and apparently it is down.

Companies including Twitter, Netflix, PayPal and eBay appeared to have their websites broken. And other services like PlayStation Network appeared to be hit by a major outage:

    are you seriously putting up a defense of rahm emmanuel, the fucking criminal and Israeli spy that wanted to mandate a US civilian brown shirt army? This whole capitalizing on a crisis thing is a theme with these elitist controller types. just because he tried to wrap it in an less creepy, non false flagish way doesn't mean shit. His buddies are still behind false flag ops and he is just on the front end of the op instead of the back end. shove your stupid snopes and shit where the sun don't shine.
