Did Someone Just Hack The San Fran Fed's Twitter Account

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Is Janet Yellen's source Fed practicing to make as much sense as Alan Greenspan? Or perhaps this is how the Fed sends coded signals to the HFTs, but if so why isn't it in binary such as the following: 01000010 01010100 01000110 01000100 00001101 00001010?

The most likley answer is that the SF Fed's social media intern is about to become a seasonal adjustment
to the next week's initial jobless claims report due to a "fat butt"
error.

I give this less than 12 hours before there are 38 thousand youtube videos with people decoding these to mean crazy shit from the end of the world, to reptilians, Jews, Jesus, a meteor, Niburu, Alex Jones is having an affair Macadoo, and how this secretly tells us who the next POTUS wil be.

To make it convincing -- you'd need to get multiple accounts from various sources (Fed, CNBC, Bloomberg, Dimon, etc., etc.,) at one time.  

I would do it in the last 15 minutes of trading on a Friday.  Too bad I have literally 0 tech skills.

If you're serious...

00001101 00001010 = 0xd 0xa (hex) = 13 10 (decimal) = Carriage Return, Linefeed.

Frequently used to termination a standard ASCII string (of text).

MR. SUPINSKI -Yes, by the assets of the Federal Reserve but, primarily by the power of congress to lay tax on the people.

This is why it is so important that the tax code be 70,0000 pages. It holds every man woman and child in some state of violation. Thats right. You and everyone you know is in some state of non-compliance.

Which means that the fed has an infinite source of wealth, which will be arbitrarily collected from you by a goon with a gun. And they dont have to take just FRNs. The preffer to take real assets and souls. They can't print those.
