This Is The Way The NYSE Comes Back Online, Not With A Bang But A Whimper
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 07/08/2015 - 15:44 Once upon a time, the NYSE was the world's most important exchange and judging by the commotion over its historical trading halt when it was offline for just under 4 hours, one would think it still is. Unfortunately for the NYSE and its new owners, the ICE, it isn't, and as the following market share chart from Nanex shows, the NYSE whose share of the total NMS is shown in red, may well have stayed closed and few would even notice.by Kit Daniels, Infowars:
Chinese stocks were suffering huge declines prior to the New York Stock
Exchange shutdown due to an alleged “technical issue,” fueling concerns
whether the NYSE was actually halted due to the free fall in China.
Companies in China fell 20% from a May high and, right before the NYSE shutdown, the Hang Seng Index plunged its most since the 2008 financial crisis.
“The Hang Seng Index fell 5.8% to 23,516.56 at the close today, the biggest drop since November 2008, after slumping as much as 8.6%,” Bloomberg’s Kana Nishizawa wrote.
Overall, China’s stock market plunge has wiped out around $3.2 trillion since June 12.

Meanwhile, Over At The Real New York Stock Exchange

Is This What The First World Cyber War Looks Like: Global Real Time Cyber Attack Map
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 07/08/2015 - 11:41 After a series of cyber failures involving first UAL, then this website, then the NYSE which is still halted, then the WSJ, some have suggested that this could be a concerted cyber attack (perhaps by retaliatory China unhappy its stocks are plunging) focusing on the US. So we decided to look at a real-time cyber attack map courtesy of Norsecorp which provides real time visibility into global cyber attacks.Jim Sinclair’s Commentary
Now some hacker is going to start a war in Germany.
‘Hackers’ give orders to German missile battery Published: 07 Jul 2015 15:00 GMT+02:00
German-owned Patriot missiles stationed in Turkey were briefly taken over by hackers, according to media reports on Tuesday.
The attack took place on anti-aircraft ‘Patriot’ missiles on the Syrian border. The American-made weapons had been stationed there by the Bundeswehr (German army) to protect Nato ally Turkey.
According to the civil service magazine, the missile system carried out “unexplained” orders. It was not immediately clear when these orders were carried out and what they were.
The magazine speculates about two weak spots in the missile system which could be exploited by hackers.
One such weakness is the Sensor-Shooter-Interoperability (SSI) which exchanges real time information between the missile launcher and its control system.
The second exposed point is a computer chip which controls the guidance of the weapon.
Attackers might have gained access in two different ways, one that takes over the operating of the missile system and one that steals data from it.
The patriot missile has been in service in the US army since 1984 and was first used in operation in the first Gulf war in 1991.
In 2012 Turkey asked that its Nato partners support it by stationing Patriot missile systems there, after the civil war in Syria drew closer to its southern border.
In June 2015 Germany announced that it would replace its Patriot missiles with MEADS, an air defence system designed in cooperation with the USA and Italy.

Demand for U.S. Silver Eagle coins has been running so high that the U.S. Mint has had to suspend sales to replenish its stocks
by Lawrence Williams, MineWeb.com:
The weakness in silver prices culminating so far in a dive down to well
below $15 an ounce appears to have created a huge surge in demand for
one ounce silver Eagle coins out of the U.S. Mint. Indeed so much so
that the Mint has had to suspend sales to authorised dealers for at
least 2 weeks while it replenishes stocks. Reports from the U.S. note
that silver bullion coin premiums are rising as dealers face further
demands on what stock they have.
Overall, the U.S. Mint reports that silver Eagle coin sales had already been rising sharply ahead of the latest surge – almost certainly related to the Greek financial upheaval in Europe pushing people into solid assets. June silver eagle sales at some 4.8 million ounces were well over double those recorded in May while some 1.6 million silver Eagles were sold in the first week of July alone resulting in the Mint running out of available stock. Intriguingly the Mint’s suspension of sales occurred on the same day silver fell by around 7% in the latest precious metals price dive.

"I'm A Tad Worried At The Market's Complacency"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 07/08/2015 - 11:28 "With this brewing crisis around Greece, the fact the Shanghai stock market is exposing all kinds of uncomfortable truths about China, (for instance, the lack of competitiveness, overleverage, massive over-expectations in valuations, the failure of the stock market as “bread and circuses” for the middle classes, and the fears of the party at a troublesome time), and the big bond reversal in the last quarter… and its perhaps surprising that things aren’t a whole lot worse. It’s no wonder global commodity markets are flimsier than a chocolate tea-pot. The first half of the year was pretty torrid… but it could still prove pleasant compared to what may be coming. I’m wondering if Global Markets are poised on the edge of the precipice about to take a step forward?"

Andy Hoffman from Miles Franklin joins us to discuss the latest on Greece where on Sunday, the people voted NO to more of the same: IMF Bankster austerity – because it does NOT work.
According to Hoffman, “Greece gets the ball rolling” because now the Banksters can’t say, “there will be another bailout, and everything will be fine”. Andy says, “Next up is Portugal and Spain and Italy and France, so there’s no doubt in my mind that the Euro is going to break up it’s just a matter of how long the game can be strung along, and I don’t think it can be much longer…”
“…The people want out from the tyranny of the central banks,” Andy says.

Bill Holter is back to discuss the impending ‘Global Margin Call’… and when it might begin. We recorded this call on Friday, July 3rd, so we weren’t privy to the outcome of the Greek referendum at the time of this call. So Sunday’s news that the PEOPLE of Greece have said a resounding NO to IMF Bankster servitude and endless austerity is most welcome news indeed. Although, from a global economic collapse perspective, from a derivatives bubble and credit default swaps and TBTF criminal international banks perspective, today’s vote may well ensure that a ‘Global Margin Call’ could commence at any moment.
Thanks for joining us – and stay tuned to SGT Report all week for much more on the events in Greece and the repercussions that these events may have on all of us.

from Paul Craig Roberts:
I doubt that there will be a Greek exit.
The Greek referendum, in which the Greek government’s position easily prevailed, tells the troika (EU Commission, European Central Bank, IMF, with of course Washington as the puppet master) that the Greek people support their government’s position that the years of austerity to which Greece has been subjected have seriously worsened the debt problem. The Greek government has been trying to turn the austerity approach into reforms that would lessen the debt burden via a rise in employment, GDP, and tax revenues.
The first response of most EU politicians to the Greek referendum outcome was to bluster about Greece exiting Europe. Washington is not prepared for this to happen and has told its vassals to give the Greeks a deal that they can accept that will keep them within the EU.

China’s stock markets continued their decline overnight with the
Shanghai SE Composite falling another 4.64% and down of 32% since June
12. Markets have begun seizing up as sellers overwhelm the system.
The Chinese regulator, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, has described market participants as being “irrationally” driven by “panic sentiment” despite there having been no rational basis for the run up in Chinese markets before they peaked last month.
Indeed, in these past two weeks the government itself has taken a series of panic measures to prop up the system but, thus far, to no avail. These measure include cuts in reserve requirements, and a rate cut to boost lending for the purpose of further speculation, easing regulations on margin financing, reduction on transaction fees and providing liquidity to brokerage firms to prop up shares. Which is more or less what western agencies have done to prop up their markets. They have even directed state companies to not sell public companies stock that they might own.

Tomario Watson assailed Russell in the parking lot of a Motel 6 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and forced her to go back to the room with her husband, who was in the shower. When Watson became more demanding, he shot de Caro in the chest three times.
But the Green Beret vet had a gun in the room, and proceeded to use it to defend them against the criminal. As Lynne Russell put it, The Second Amendment “saved my life.”
