The Banksters’ Master Program For Manipulating Markets

Regular readers have heard the term “Hostage Markets” frequently in commentaries over the past year. However what has not been articulated during that time is the precise mechanism by which this total and complete control over all markets is achieved, except for a single commentary, written several years before readers were introduced to this label (and paradigm).

It all starts with the One Bank’s Pied-Piper trading algorithm, what the propaganda machine calls “high-frequency trading”. It is a Master Algorithm which rules the trading (and traders) for anyone and everyone who use any of the “HFT” programs created by these Big Banks.

The Corporate media jabbers on extensively and exclusively about the speed of these automated trading programs. This is deliberate disinformation, to draw attention away from the obvious manipulative potential of these trading algorithms. It is inconceivable that our market “regulators” could not be aware of this manipulative potential, more strong evidence of the endemic corruption of these so-called regulators.

What makes this the perfect time to explain the Master Algorithm (and its manipulation) to readers is a report which has just surfaced concerning a new, class-action law suit against the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. The evidence which the plaintiffs claim to possess would not only conclusively establish the existence of this Master Algorithm, but they also claim to have “secret witnesses”, prepared to provide insider “smoking-gun” evidence about this trading-algorithm manipulation.

[Case citation:  U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. Civil Docket #: 1:14-cv-02646 William Charles Braman, Mark Mendelson and John Simms v. Chicago Mercantile Exchange]

What is the nature of this “evidence”. Nothing less than the claim that 50% of the 12 million “contracts” (i.e. trades) each day at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange are simply phony (and illegal) “wash trades”. Six million phony and illegal trades are alleged to be generated each day at the CME to bludgeon all of the world’s commodities markets in whatever direction the One Bank desires.

This amounts to 2 BILLION phony/illegal trades per year. In order for readers to understand the true, monstrous scale of such market-manipulation; let’s compare it to what the Corporate media is calling a “massive trading scheme”, also based upon phony/illegal “wash trades”, and also conducted in the commodities markets of the CME.

The bank involved was the Royal Bank of Canada, and the “massive trading scheme” involved mere “hundreds of transactions”. In comparison, the illegal market manipulation alleged in the law suit against the CME is millions of times larger than the alleged, RBC “massive trading scheme”. That is massive.

In fact; it’s so massive that no entity other than a “one bank” could possibly perpetrate a market-manipulation operation this large. RBC is (by itself) a Big Bank. Only the One Bank could perpetrate a market fraud more than a million times larger than an identical form of that fraud, perpetrated by one of the world’s “Big Banks”.
