Hacked CNN Reports "China Dumps All US Bonds"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

It's one thing for the Comedy News Network formerly known as CNN to announce the opposite verdict on Obamacare as breaking news or that the TV studio formerly known as the NYSE is under 3 feet of water (based on what it saw on Twitter). It's something else entirely for it to report that China has declared semi-hot war on the US (unless of course CNN is merely reporting tomorrow's news today).

This is a cached version of a CNN website that appeared one short hour ago.

Luckily this time it was merely a a hack, as can be seen by the "article's" subsequent deletion from the live page and CNN's mea culpa:

  • CNN SAYS SOME OF ITS SOCIAL MEDIAL ACCOUNTS WERE COMPROMISED
  • CNN SAYS COMPROMISED ACCOUNTS INCLUDE TWITTER PAGE, FACEBOOK

But perhaps more telling is the complete lack of market response to even the hacked article, so different to the AP hack from last summer when the market plunged if only briefly following a hacked AP tweet. Just goes to show how irrelvant the once upon a time only news network has become.

Was it a Chinese AK-47? 

Think of it this way-you were going to do it, anyway.  Now you're ready for when it really happens.  At least 7.62x39mm is still available.  I just saw CTD running Russian .22 at $39/250 rounds.  Good God!  I used to buy 500 .22 rounds for $15.

When I wrote for a newspaper in CA and times got slow, we would start pre-writing the obituary's of famous people we knew didn't have much longer to live, that way we could run them as soon as they died.  

Perhaps it was a iittle slow at CNN and one comrade said to another "give me an obit for the American economy ...." and it started like this story.

Or this was a litmus/beta test. I doubt it was a hacker like SEA. The hacker would make themselves known. I am unconvinced this was a 'hack.'

Sorry!  Sorry!  Our wacky interns released one of our pre-written news stories without permission.  Our bad.  Nothing is wrong with China.  They are our most favored trade partners.  Move along, nothing to see here.  China good!  Interns Baaad! 

Seriously, tho-anyone remember when they found the date/time codes on the Sandy Hook shooting were created several days/weeks ahead of the event?  Creepy how that happens...

Yes. Creepy. Another thing to consider given the history of these human-made 'disasters.' They could be getting ready which is why PLA has been training on US soil and the Naional Guard will be training first responders and law enforcement, and law enforcement in some states. Look at Cuomo's State of the State for NY. There are setting up a CUNY for DHS, Cybersecurity and FEM type stuff as well as other police and military stuff. They are going to overlap local jurisdictions for law enforcement purposes and for natural and human-made disaster 'preparedness.'
Rothschild has been busy in moving controlling interest from one hands to another in some heavy Shanghai financial instituions as well as consolidating his various houses under one roof. LOLOLOL.
Look at this creepy gold jewelry commercial from a Chinese gold jewelery retailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxjGf_BYVYM&list=FLgHmK4TJF_iM0UJlMGidTTg

also WTC Building 7 has collapsed already in about 11 minutes.
Oh sorry, that's BBC, not CNN. That's what you get for having Doctor Who on your network: time-travel-powered news.

I have to admit, this one really stunned me.  I had just sat down at the PC with the morning coffee, scrolled down the board for interesting headlines, saw the "BREAKING: China dumps all Bonds; Closes South China Sea", and thought "Oh crap!  Here it is!", missing the "Hacked:" portion entirely. 

Then I thought, "wait a minute, how did this get so far down this front page list?!?" before I saw the "Hacked". 

Man, woke my ass up.  Whew!

I stopped watching CNN of any sort, tv or web, years ago.
Never even noticed.
Apparently the HFT's know better too. That's a dire, telling sign CNN is useless & one is always better off ignoring it.
