Is it me or would "china dumping us bonds" have absolutely no effect since the Federal reserve is already the only one buying us bonds in massive quantities ?
Umm... no, it's you. It would have a massive impact on the price of treasuries world wide.

Yeah I don't think it would make much of a difference, with or without the Fed. They'd really have to try to spend the dollars & not just stick that money back into a bank, and the effects of that would be slow and noticeable in time for the US to react with some policy.
umm, no. It would be the end of the USD as you know it, instant hyperinflation and empty shelves in your local supermarket.
The point of dumping bonds is that they are saying they are worthless, they aren't trying to extract value from them by spending them somewhere else.
That would render other Central Bank dollar denominated reserve assets worthless too.
World trade, denominated in USD, would freeze, along with any American's relying on imported oil to warm their houses through the polar vortex.
So no, it wouldn't be business as usual...if this were a real story.

The post isn't just meant to cause a monetary scare. It implies that World War III is about to start.
Re: CNN website hacked: "China dumps all bonds"
#15There was also a story about the US declaring a state of national emergency, and the reporter being unable to contact anyone in the State Department. As little sense as that made.

Yeah, that's what I used to think. I think that line of speculation is wrong though. Why exactly would world trade freeze? Just because China says that they don't want to value their bond holdings anymore doesn't mean that others will follow suit.

Lol. The US & China are like conjoined twins.

#19Is this a hoax? or satire? Doesn't look like credible news to me, somehow.

#20There is a special place in hell for SEA (Syrian Electronic Army) members. In addition to hacking sites as to spew propaganda, they have been reporting nonviolent activist pages while promoting terrorist (ISIS) pages. Running a plethora of personas[0] that harass and attack while disseminating horse-shit like the Adra massacre. That Adra event saw Russia Times relaying false reports[1]. Of course phishing pretty much anyone that mentions Syria/Sham. Gotta get those admin credentials somehow right?
All this while their regime goes about talking peace at Geneva2 and dropping crude air dropped improvised explosives (ADIED) onto residential neighborhoods. From two days ago, one of the happier videos to report from these strikes, a child being pulled alive from concrete rubble[2]. In addition to the regular munitons dropped on a daily basis the rocket system used to launch chemical weapon attacks is parked at the regime's Mezzeh military airport in Damascus[3] yet SEA and company have been trying to co-opt and seed disinformation on the subject such as focusing on nosecones[4].
This "cyberwar" mess has very real ramifications, and those are heaps of tortured/executed prisoners stacked up wrapped in plastic[5] with death certificates fraudulently made by the state. Real A level war crimes stuff. I have great hatred for these electronic shills and the murder they help further.
