Oddbean new post about login | logout I'm not buying the fact that there was a random ransomware attack on a Chinese bank that disrupted this week’s treasury auction. I smell the beginning of the Cyber Pandemic, which has been choreographed for years. Stay vigilant out there. https://tftc.io/beginning-of-cyber-pandemic/
I would normally agree with you but considering most of these bond clearing / custody firms are ran by the most boomers of boomers and their systems and still ran from Apple II hacking it would be pretty easy. Not sure they make Norton for hardware from the 80s
It’s difficult to imagine that LockBit, a largely Russian crew, would feel empowered on their own to hit a very sensitive Chinese target, which also happens to be the largest bank in the world….

Yep, it’s the most readily available way to create excuses, scares and potentially a false flag. I personally think there is a good chance in the next 5 years the US deep state will execute a massive cyberattack on financial giants to usher in their own CBDC coupled with a massive print and as a pretext to gate internet traffic. Drain funds from JP Morgan (or the like), have the president say old monetary systems just aren’t safe anymore, have the “better” CBDC solution ready, print trillions to make depositors whole and air drop to “adopters” (devalue untenable US debt) and gain a lot more control in the process. I can see it happening.

Create the crisis, sell the solution. Easy to imagine the parasites would prefer to use a cyber attack as pretense to close banks rather than admit they fucked the system. Australia’s Critical Infrastructure Act allows the Federal Government to assume control of entities in such a scenario and appointed a military guy to coordinate it a few months back. nostr:note1gzfxmqa2qve5um0e5m75v42slc5uwxfa0l0dvl06gszwmd7d7hxqvcfj6n Wonder what this would look like in the US?
Some fun facts about Chinese Americans and the CCP. The Chinese government pays 7000$ per month to citizens willing to come to the United States to study who qualified for education in elite universities like Harvard. The typical “Asians are good at math” has to do with Asian bodies not flushing alcohol because they are allergic to wheat and corn compared to rice. There is a large base of Chinese people who are first generation Americans (And Canadians) who are actively working against western values and are buying corporate property at an alarming rate. HSBC is a large shareholder in many corporate real estate holders, Including Berkshire Hathaway, And the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The corporate Chinese trade is real.
Laserhodl had a decent list but it’s not accessible on the link to the TFTC. Has anyone got a copy of the tech that was given to diversify away from big tech?

Mandibles then #bitcoin standard.
Agreed
Agreed to stay vigilant. In this case, it's a small part of Treasury market and China would unlikely cooperate with US on such a bad look for them. US state actors could be behind the attack.
@james doesn’t buy it either Uncle Marty. See screen capture from his Sunday newsletter. https://m.primal.net/HPxT.jpg https://m.primal.net/HPxT.jpg
