International hacking group Anonymous wished Wall Street ill the night before the New York Stock Exchange temporarily suspended trading on all securities. The activist group tweeted late Tuesday:

Wonder if tomorrow is going to be bad for Wall Street.... we can only hope. — Anonymous (@YourAnonNews) July 8, 2015

New York trading was suspended around 11:30 a.m. Wednesday due to a "technical issue," the exchange said in a statement posted to Twitter.

The Department of Homeland Security said there was no indication the NYSE had been hacked, according to Bloomberg and CNN. The exchange said the glitch could not be attribute to "a cyber breach."

"The issue we are experiencing is an internal technical issue and is not the result of a cyber breach," it said in another statement. "We chose to suspend trading on NYSE to avoid problems arising from our technical issue. NYSE-listed securities continue to trade unaffected on other market centers."

The White House said President Obama had been briefed on the issue. Earlier in the day, United Airlines briefly grounded all of its flights due to a systemwide failure.

FWIW, China has had a serious crash, and that was expected to impact Wall Street yesterday. Anonymous’ Tweet very well be about this, as China has been in the news, and discussed in conspiracy websites.

Who is/are ANONYMOUS? Find ‘em and kill ‘em.

On second thought, that same policy could be applied to the Patriot movement. So let’s Alinsky them instead!

Simple. The actual real time trading losses were greater than the parameters set up to ‘cook’ the DJIA averages reported to the public. In other words, the computer model used to project the ‘reality’ of the DJIA was broken.
