Apropos of today’s main blog, you can add solar-disruptions to the otherwise inherently unstable digital system of finance these goofy idiots are trying to impose on the rest of us, courtesy of V.T. and S.C.G.

How interesting. I mean, like how often can a writer use each of two, valid definitions of the same acronym in one headline?
CME Exchange Outage Halts: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq Futures Halted as CME Glitch Disrupts Trading
- CME = Coronal Mass Ejection
- CME = Chicago Mercantile Exchange
I loathe words like spike, noise, blip, and glitch in this context. As a lifetime electronic systems troubleshooter (e.g., military, industrial manufacturing, at home, etc.), I constantly rubbed elbows (in person and later online) with people that had no clue what root cause was and would armchair their astute conclusions using one of those words.
What did the author (he/she/it) intend by the word… glitch?
- a sudden unexpected increase in electrical power, especially one that causes a fault in an electronic system; or:
- to experience a small fault or problem, especially one that stops something from working
Putting CME next to glitch didn’t help at all, as it can mean at least two things:
- A = They type of glitch was caused by a Coronal Mass Ejection
- B = The glitch occurred at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange
.
Fortunately, the article explains a bit more:
“The outage, caused by a cooling system failure at CyrusOne’s data centre, suspended all futures and options trading, leaving markets frozen for several hours.”
According to the author, this “CME Exchange” problem was not caused by solar-disruption; rather it was a “cooling system failure” at the CME data center. (Now the cooling system could have failed due to effects from coronal mass ejection, but it was not mentioned nor implied.)
It is a poorly written and misleading headline.

And then we have this:
Silver Squeeze Escalates as CME “Outage” Hides Massive Shortage | ZeroHedge
"As silver roared to decade highs and physical supply dried up, the CME mysteriously went dark for 10 hours. Blamed on a “cooling issue” despite backup systems in place, the outage came at the exact moment physical delivery stress peaked.
Coincidence or cover up?

Both. [& possibly more…]
Dr. Farrell has some interesting; high-octane-speculations, in regards to:
Coincidences.
[which involves some deep-physics, for one]

a bit like that time when blackberry had an outage glitch for a whole week … but probably just all more coincidences
Might be time for a Faraday holdall. These large sunspots are too prolific and we’re supposed to be on the solar sunspot downslope.

3iATLAS ?
When it got close to the sun?
Stephon[first name?] predicted this?
[in his solar video].
[if, I recall i right?]

Yes he did and he described a resonance interaction during perihelion between 3I/ATLAS and the Sun which disturbed the Sun.

The ancients considered the sun God, good analogy.

Yep Stephan Burns covered this, the is EM interaction between 3I/ATLAs and the Sun, can be seen with the tails heading toward the Sun and what happens to the Sun in locations that 3i/ATLAS was close to.

One might wonder if he/it will visit Earth?
You know…just out of curiosity,one time just stop by…for site seeing…

I have seen items published in X, FB and YouTube but these are not cited well. So it comes closest to Earth around 19 December but that will be at circa 30 Million kilometres or so.
