 Are there really secret manipulations of the economy going on in the shadows of Wall Street and Washington?
Do bears crap in the woods?
The NY Post’s controversial columnist John Crudelehas thrown down the gauntlet, declaring that the market is rigged. And not only does everyone know it, but it is now being admitted.
The stock market is rigged.
So the Federal Reserve is propping up Wall Street, and the economy by extension, not only by issuing free money through QE3, but buying up bonds and shares as well.
This form of manipulation extends globally, with many other central banks propping up the market, and even the U.S. government… as a means of covert proxy investment:
The Bank of Japan — and other central bankers around the world — could easily be purchasing shares of American companies to help out the US stock market. Last fall, we learned that one American exchange has made intervention in — rigging — foreign governments easier and cheaper to accomplish. In October, it emerged that CME Group, the Chicago exchange that trades options and commodities, had an incentive program under which foreign central banks could buy stock market derivatives like the Standard & Poor’s futures contracts at a discount.
According to Crudele, Japan is encouraging its private sector engage in the shadow market boosting as well – you know, for the greater good.
That’s called rigging the market for a higher purpose, or hoping people who can afford to invest in stocks will make lots of money and spend it.
Underneath it all, the market rigging creates unfair advantage by operating under false pretenses:
The bigger problem is this: If stock prices are artificially inflated, nobody can tell what a company is really worth.”
Recently, SHTF reported that former SEC director John Ramsay also admitted the market is rigged, stating “Today’s rules have been crafted to the benefit of insiders.”
The same article cited an author following the manipulations of Wall Street:
“The market is rigged against retail investors, has questioned the tactics involved in using algorithms to buy and sell shares in fractions of a second.”
Of course, if we listened to comedians instead of experts, we would have known that long ago.
The late George Carlin said it better than anyone probably could: “The game is rigged!”

CIA self-help book: how to win friends and interrogate people
Source: The Guardian
A new guide from some former intelligence agents promises to train you to elicit the truth from ‘targets’ such as ‘the plumber’ or your own children
A new guide from some former intelligence agents promises to train you to elicit the truth from ‘targets’ such as ‘the plumber’ or your own children
An “elicitation”, they call it. The word “interrogation” has such nasty connotations, doesn’t it? Especially when used in conjunction with the letters C, I and A. So three alumni of the US intelligence agency aim to rebrand the inquisitorial process with a new book called Get the Truth: Former CIA Officers Teach You How to Persuade Anyone to Tell All.
Philip Houston, Michael Floyd and Susan Carnicero believe the methods that have helped them to winkle out traitors in various unspecified sandy locations could help all of us in our business and general lives. And, perhaps, as parents.
Here are five handy learnings:
1) An elicitation is a monologue, not a dialogue
Surprising, this, but true. The interrog- sorry, elicitator is trying to create an environment in which the vic- sorry, interviewee will want to give up the truth. That means implying that you already know what they’ve done, you completely understand the pressures that led to their error of judgment, and if they take you into their confidence, this whole silly misunderstanding can be fixed.
2) Cultivate short-term thinking
You want the interviewee concentrating on trying to please you, in the here and now. The moment he or she starts thinking of the likely long-term consequences – professionally, judicially and physically – of confessing that he or she has been ratting out the agency to a foreign power, he or she will tend to clam up.
3) Do no harm
The last thing your interviewee wants to feel is that you’re sitting in judgment like some big old judgey-judgey sourpuss: “The simple fact is that no good can come from being judgmental of a person in an interrogation situation – in fact, it can severely harm the process.”
4) Good cop/bad cop
... is an invention of Hollywood movies. It doesn’t work. The whole point is to make them feel you’re on their side.
5) “Enhanced interrogation”
… may be, like, totally legitimate – the authors are for guessable reasons loudly agnostic on the matter – but it doesn’t work so well. Getting the Truth “isn’t about instilling fear – it’s about minimising or eliminating it”. Plus: hello, Iraq? Also: it’s unsuitable in a white-collar environment.

Feds: Banks Should Call Police if Customer Withdraws More Than $5k in Cash
Source: Sputnik News
The Justice Department has been advocating for bank tellers across the US to call police on their customers who withdraw $5,000 or more in cash.
The Justice Department has been advocating for bank tellers across the US to call police on their customers who withdraw $5,000 or more in cash.
"A senior official from the Justice Department spoke to a group of bankers about the need for them to rat out their customers to the police," said investor and financial blogger Simon Black.
Banks are already required to file a "Suspicious Activity Report" (SAR) should they suspect an unusual activity. But now the feds are saying these suspicious reports are not enough.
"[W]e encourage those institutions to consider whether to take more action: specifically, to alert law enforcement authorities about the problem, who may be able to seize the funds, initiate an investigation, or take other proactive steps," the official told Black.
So, how do these institutions know when to take action?
As stated in the Federal Financial Institution Examination Council handbook, banks are obligated to file a SAR when "transactions conducted or attempted by, at, or through the bank (or an affiliate) and aggregating $5,000 or more…"
Such order justifies the banks’ submission of these suspicious activity reports for perfectly legal actions as simple as withdrawing cash, especially that they are required by the federal government to submit a certain number of SARs a month for investigation.
Banks could lose their banking charter and face fines if they don’t meet the quota.
Banks like Chase are imposing other capital control strategies, such as mandating identification for depositing cash and banning cash deposit into another person’s account.
In 2014, banks filed more than 700,000 suspicious activity reports.
City of London's Ownership of American Colonies
Source: BATR
The misplaced reverence to the ill formulated U.S Constitution and hidden subjugation back to the City of London is one aspect of history that is not taught in government schools or discussed in institutes of higher education. This subject is probably new to most observers of the legacy from the Founding Father’s biggest mistake. Regular readers of BREAKING ALL THE RULES are familiar with the arguments made in the essays, In the beginning: Let there be the Articles of Confederation and Articles of Confederation was Preferable. Now the case for the betrayal of the purpose of the American Revolution needs to be explored.
Cited on the US Constitution Gave Legal Ownership and Control of the United States to London site is an assessment by Michael Edward.
"Neither the American people nor the Queen of Britain own America. The Crown Temple owns America through the deception of those who have worn their allegiance by oath to the Middle Templar Bar. The Crown Bankers and their Middle Templar Attorneys rule America through unlawful contracts, unlawful taxes, and, contract documents of false equity through debt deceit, all strictly enforced by their completely unlawful, but 'legal,' Orders, Rules and Codes of the Crown Temple Courts Our so-called 'judiciary' in America. This is because the Crown Temple holds the land titles and estate deeds to all of North America."
An examination of The Templars of the Crown provides elaboration on this appraisal. For an even more in-depth analysis, review the material that probes AMERICAN LAND OWNERSHIP, A TRUE OXYMORON, which deals with the work of James Montgomery.
“Many of you are aware that the laws of this nation and it's states, were made to be in compliance and submission to the laws of England, only modified by state and federal law. You will see in this last Chapter state statutes from just a few of the original colonies, that this is the case. Are these what are called ancient statutes? Yes. However, since the king's Corporation is alive and well as are his heirs, so is his Trust and the law used to create and govern it. The law that governs his Trust can only be amended, no law could be enacted contrary to the king's will and cestui que trust, the main corporate sole where office is always found, the Crown. The king's practice of granting lands in this country to those loyal to him continues, along with their land grants being protected by state ancient statutes which are still on the books. We are governed by the king's nobles just as in times of old England, self proclaimed nobles, and corporate trusts. They rule this country and the world. The huge corporations have been granted power and liberty not known by the common man. The nobles, real and the created, occupy their possessions as fiduciaries and trustees of the king's grants; only if they remain loyal to the system, their privilege and life style are their reward.”
Invest the time in discovering all the historic accounts, legal rulings and linkages that go back to the Crown, AKA, the City of London.
If you are unfamiliar with The (British) Crown Empire and the City of London Corporation take a quick refresher course on the actual nature of the financial foundation and codified sanction that purports to be lawful. Jurisprudence may be legal by the definition and formulations of the judicious barrister class, but it certainly is not founded on the basic principles of natural law.
Julian Websdale concludes: “The whole Earth is governed by The Crown, through Crown Colonies which belong to The City – The Crown Empire. It governs Africa and still governs China and India. The colonies of the Earth are really just Crown Colonies – The United States of America are states of The Crown.”
Now this interpretation may seem bizarre to most and the plot thickens in the The construe Powers - Behind the Global Empire piecing together a long account of legalized equity mandates.
“The signed treaties and charters between Britain and the United States reveals that King James the 1st was not only famous for translating the Bible, but for signing the first charter of Virginia in 1606. That charter granted America's British forefathers a license to settle and colonize America and guaranteed future kings and queens of England to have sovereign authority over citizens and colonized land in America. The treaty of 1783 identifies the king of England as the prince of the United States. King George the 3rd gave up most of his claims over American colonies, but he kept his right to continue receiving payment for his business venture of colonizing America.”
The next element to consider has The Top of the Pyramid: The Rothschilds, the British Crown and the Vatican Rule the World. Read this account and trace back the historic lineage of some of the Englishmen who founded America.
“To have the Declaration of Independence recognized internationally, Middle Templar King George III agreed in the Treaty of Paris of 1783 to establish the legal Crown entity of the incorporated United States, referred to internally as the Crown Temple States (Colonies). States spelled with a capital letter 'S,' denotes a legal entity of the Crown.
At least five Templar Bar Attorneys under solemn oath to the Crown, signed the American Declaration of Independence. This means that both parties were agents of the Crown.”
As time proceeds, the sell out of the “shot heard around the world” revolution deepens. Two Constitutions in the United States. 1st was illegally suspended in favor of a Vatican “Crown” corporation in 1871. This approving assessment of the Federal Constitution views a Shadow Government in place since 1871.
“Since 1871 the United States president and the United States Congress has been playing politics under a different set of rules and policies. The American people do not know that there are two Constitutions in the United States. The first penned by the leaders of the newly independent states of the United States in 1776. On July 4, 1776, the people claimed their independence from the Crown (temporal authority of the Roman Catholic Pope) and Democracy was born. And for 95 years the United States people were free and independent. That freedom ended in 1871 when the original “Constitution for the United States for America” was changed to the “THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA”.
The Congress realized that the country was in dire financial straits, so they made a financial deal with the devil - the Crown (a.k.a. City of London Corporation – est. by the Catholic Church on Jan 1, 1855 ) thereby incurring a DEBT to the Pope. The conniving Pope and his bankers were not about to lend the floundering nation any money without some serious stipulations. So, they devised a way of taking back control of the United States and thus, the Act of 1871 was passed. With no constitutional authority to do so, Congress created a separate form of government for the District of Columbia.
With the passage of “the Act of 1871” a city state (a state within a state) called the District of Columbia located on 10 sq miles of land in the heart of Washington was formed with its own flag and its own independent constitution – the United States’ secret second constitution.”
Lastly, Three Corporations run the world: City of London, Washington DC and Vatican City list the City of London houses as including:
Rothschild controlled ‘Bank of England’
Lloyds of London
The London Stock Exchange
All British Banks
The Branch offices of 384 Foreign Banks
70 USA Banks
Fleet Streets Newspaper and Publishing Monopolies
Headquarters for Worldwide Freemasonry
Headquarters for the worldwide money cartel known as ’THE CROWN’
Conclusion: “City of London directly and indirectly controls all mayors, councils, regional councils, multi-national and trans-national banks, corporations, judicial systems (through Old Bailey, Temple Bar and the Royal Courts of Justice in London), the IMF, World Bank, Vatican Bank (through N. M. Rothschild & Sons London Italian subsidiary Torlonia), European Central Bank, United States Federal Reserve (which is privately owned and secretly controlled by eight British-controlled shareholding banks), the Bank for International Settlements in Switzerland (which is also British-controlled and oversees all of the Reserve Banks around the world including our own) and the European Union and the United Nations Organization.”
This introduction to the actual influence and pompous legal authority that underpins the financial hierarchy is based upon a historic explanation that is foreign to most Americans. The implications are staggering and for this reason alone, most are not willing to do their own research. Do not get caught up in the uncanny departure from the usual rendering of reality. Remember that the City of London’s coat-of-arms reads in Latin - Domine Dirige Nos – which translates, Lord, direct us. The true question, asks just which deity do the soldiers of the Crown adore?

Former Secretary of State Effectively and Illegally Operated A Parallel Government
Source: State of the Nation
There are many deeply disturbing aspects about Hillary Clinton’s secret operation whereby she ran her own email server for all of her U.S. State Department business. As a matter of fact, there are so many profound violations of law and broken department regulations involved it’s a wonder Ms. Clinton hasn’t been arrested and imprisoned — WITHOUT BAIL.
DISCLAIMER
SOTN has no dog in this fight as we have no party affiliation whatsoever. Our commentary strives to be the product of objective political analysis and unbiased government oversight. While we do feel that Hillary Clinton is totally unfit to run for POTUS, we feel the very same way about Jeb Bush as well as many other prospective candidates on both sides of the aisle.
As Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton made a quite fateful decision to use exclusively her personal email account to conduct her official State Department business. Further complicating this unacceptable procedure, she housed and ‘secured’ all email data on her own personal server which was registered to her home address in Chappaqua, New York!
“… Clinton’s private server was registered to her home address in Chappaqua, with the name of “Eric Hoteham”.”[1]
Just in case the reader failed to understand the seriousness of this breach of the public trust, it will be re-stated as follows:
The former Secretary of State, in the conduct of some of the most highly classified and ultra-secret business of any branch of the U.S Federal Government, did so utilizing an unregulated, unmonitored and unsecure server which appears to have been located in her personal residence.
Why does this unjustifiable behavior pose such a HUGE problem?
There are many obvious reasons why such official conduct is unlawful and illegal, irresponsible and negligent, contemptible and reprehensible.
What follows is a list of those reasons, each one of which constitutes an actionable offense which ought to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
(1) Hillary Clinton essentially functioned as her own completely unsecured gatekeeper for all email communications, both to and from her. In that capacity she was wholly unqualified and, more importantly, incapable to determine what type information/data might be sent to her. If a subordinate emailed her extremely sensitive (and/or classified) State Department info/data concerning a grave international event in Asia, how was she to know that it was coming. Those emails could then be intercepted by any hacker, anytime, unknown to Ms. Clinton and her personal ‘home-based’ State Department. Likewise, those same emails would then sit on her ‘home-based’, unsecured server completely vulnerable to the many agents of nation-states the world over who might want access to such coveted information.
(2) Hillary Clinton, throughout her tenure as Secretary, never responded to any FOIA requests because they were received by the U.S. Department of State, not by her office. Being a lawyer by training, she somehow felt that her official communications were immune to the prying eyes of the public which she was sworn to serve. Consequently, all email communications during her service were unavailable for legally submitted FOIA requests. That she would so casually ‘opt out’ of the long established U.S. Government system of email communications, record-keeping and info retrieval is as inconceivable as it is unprecedented.
(3) Every time Ms. Clinton sent an email to another Cabinet Secretary or State department head, President Obama or the Joint Chiefs of Staff, she exposed those individuals to her completely insecure email system. Being unable to inform any recipient of the unauthorized arrangement — because of her gross lack of judgment to proceed with such a reckless scheme — she then exposed every employee of the government to her illicit and inherently flawed system. Who knows how many times Ms. Clinton put at risk state department employees around the world who she was in close communication with about delicate diplomatic events, dangerous military developments or dire affairs of state.
Consulate in Benghazi after attack
Hopefully the reader is beginning to understand just how serious her multi-year crime spree (as well as transgressions of protocol) was dating from January 2009 through February 2013.
What are federal government bureaus and departments, after all, except entities and/or places where communications — both classified and otherwise — are housed and secured and properly archived?
What are some of the other critical lapses in Ms. Clinton’s homestyle email server setup?
(4) Ms. Clinton had to be directed to return her emails to State, as in being compelled by a formal request well after the fact. She did not voluntarily turn them over. She also claimed to have submitted the exit form concerning all documentation, which are required at the termination of one’s civil service. The State Department formally acknowledged that Ms. Clinton never completed or submitted the proper paperwork regarding official documentation which occurs when one’s tenure in office comes to an end.
“The State Department has no record that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton signed a standard form declaring that she surrendered all official records before leaving her post in 2013, a spokeswoman said Tuesday.”[2]
Such closure is critical, particularly for government officials operating at such a high level. Does anyone in their right mind ever act in such flagrant disregard for U.S Government rules and regulations? Has anyone else ever performed in a similar manner and then attempted to get away with it in the middle of a closely watched Congressional investigation?
(5) The attack on the U.S. Mission at Benghazi, Libya and aftermath presents another perfect example of how Ms. Clinton used her email setup to subvert a Congressional investigation and thwart a necessary inquiry into what and how it all happened. That four State Department employees died, the U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens’ being a quite violent and horrible death, gave cause for legitimate concern about her actions before, during and after the surprise attack on the American consulate. Not only was Ms. Clinton not forthcoming in providing all legally protected State Dept. communications surrounding that event, she eventually released a paltry few which she herself vetted. In so doing she essentially violated the terms of a Congressional subpoena. Ms. Clinton then went on to wipe her server clean knowing that the Select Committee on Benghazi wanted legal access to all emails that were in any way connected to the Benghazi fiasco. She was only able to get away with such behavior because she knew that she owned and controlled her server; hence, “The Former Secretary of State Effectively – and Illegally – Operated A Parallel Government”.
(6) The House of Representatives’ Select Committee on Benghazi has repeatedly issued requests to Ms. Clinton for any and all communications related to the tragic events in Benghazi. How else could they understand and therefore prevent what occurred there from happening at another diplomatic mission? Chairman Trey Gowdy has been unusually patient with ex-Secretary Clinton and has only seen his every request stonewalled at every turn. He understands that Ms.Clinton had no legal right to house government email communications on or in her personal property. He also knows that she broke the law by violating various federal statutes when she wiped the server clean. This unparalleled conduct can only be viewed as a premeditated crime to obstruct a vital Congressional inquiry. Hence, there are now many allusions being made to Richard Nixon’s alleged actions which occurred in the wake of the Watergate burglary. It is crucial to understand that Nixon never took complete ownership of any official records, nor did he personally dispose of them, yet he was impeached and forced to ignominiously resign from the highest office in the land.
Where is the Democratic Party on this matter?
Where do her rabid Clintonistas stand?
Where do her rabid Clintonistas stand?
There are many other serious problems with Ms. Clinton’s official conduct and improvised email setup which will be taken up in the next report. However, there is one very important matter which has developed ever since her extraordinary email wrongdoings came to light.
It would seem that the Democratic Party would do everything in its power to address this situation in a manner that inspired confidence. Instead, the DNC leadership does everything possible to demonstrate their support for Ms. Clinton. It appears that their loyalty is not to the rule of law, or the country, or the proper running of government; rather, it is shamelessly given to a admitted lawbreaker who aspires to the presidency.
That the Democratic Party leadership has not distanced themselves from Ms. Clinton, in light of the historic violations of the public trust due to this Emailgate of her own doing, is as shocking as it is unthinkable. The Democrats have now lost all credibility. The DNC leadership has particularly undermined the electorate’s confidence in their ability to nominate a responsible presidential candidate. In view of the disastrous vetting process that Barack Obama was taken through — especially given the absence of a legitimate birth certificate — it is difficult to understand why they would continue to promote a Clinton candidacy.
What is equally troubling is the deafening silence on the part of the normally rabid Clintonistas. These extraordinarily blind and brainwashed voters will blithely condone any conduct on the part of a Clinton, no matter what the outrage. That the Clinton behavior is so repugnant to the very notion of a healthy constitutional republic or its democratic institutions seems not to matter one iota to them. They are politically lost souls who are at once profoundly unpatriotic, often extremely selfish and committed only to their narrow self interest, as well as hopelessly addicted to political deception.
This very sad state of affairs truly represents a watershed event for America. When a nation as powerful as the USA is continually led by lawyers liars who are in actuality criminally insane psychopaths, the future cannot be good. If Hillary Clinton is not held strictly to account for her unseemly actions, and inactions, this Republic will have been fundamentally undermined that much more going into the next election cycle. Cynicism and suspicion will abound, festering anger and justifiable rage will act out in ways that just may tear this nation apart.
Perhaps that is exactly where we are heading.
Conclusion
Certainly Hillary Clinton would have never attempted such a misguided and foolhardy email scheme unless she thought that she could get away with it. And that she did. Just like everybody within the Obama Administration has seemingly gotten away with all sorts of crazy and cock-eyed conduct. Truly, lawlessness and anarchy seem to be the hallmark of President Obama’s leadership style.
Rather, that would be NO leadership at all, as one might witness in a typical banana republic south of the border. We mean no disrespect to those small countries that are only doing their best in the face of very challenging circumstances; however, a tyrant is a tyrant no matter where their ‘throne’ is located. It appears that Obama completely enabled Clinton to get away with her deplorable public service. Obviously he had her email address —hdr22@clintonemail.com — and he knew it did not end with .gov. He also knew that it was a personally owned email address by the “clintonmail.com“.
Therefore, Barack Obama & Company is as much responsible for this unrivaled debacle as Clinton herself is. He has run his presidency like a amateurish Homeowner’s Association wherein he does whatever he wants to do, and doesn’t do whatever he doesn’t want to do, regardless of federal law! Regardless of the Constitution! Regardless of the Bill of Rights! Regardless of Congressional threats that he stick to enforcing the law, not legislate it! Regardless of SCOTUS rulings! Regardless of relevant state statutes!
In this way, Barack Hussein Obama has created an environment throughout the U.S. Federal Government whereby anarchy has flourished as at no other time in American history. Hillary Clinton, being the highly secretive and predatory political opportunist that she is, merely took advantage of this hospitable climate in which to run her own tyranny.

Author’s Note
The interesting thing about this whole interminable episode is that Hillary would have never been found out had she not fought so vigorously with the Benghazi House investigators. All they were doing was carrying out the mandate of the Select Committee on Benghazi. Toward that end they were obligated to review all pertinent correspondence (especially email) of the Secretary of State.

How else could they possibly assure the American people that another Benghazi would not happen in the future? However, Clinton would not give even an inch when she was obliged to give a mile! Even though she was statutorily obligated to provide unfettered access to every single communication ever produced concerning the matter, she dug herself in like no subpoenaed public servant in U.S. history.
In so doing, she not only potentially put current and future ambassadors and their consulates in harm’s way, she also put her own political career in great jeopardy — BIG time! When the whole truth comes out, her legacy as a public servant is likely to be tarnished beyond repair. And, she ought to consider herself very fortunate if she is able to stay out of prison.

5mn Venezuelans sign petition against US aggression & interference
Source: RT

Rejecting what they see as interference in Venezuela’s internal affairs, over five million people across the country have signed a petition demanding that the US president repeals his executive order that declared Caracas an extraordinary security threat.
“We have collected more than 5 million signatures and we want to call on the Venezuelan people to keep on going to reach 10 million,” Jorge Rodriguez, mayor of Caracas and coordinator of the initiative told Venezolana de Television.
For the past week plazas, government offices and buildings opened their doors seeking to collect some 10 million signatures against Washington’s policy towards the Latin American country.
“Our intention is to deliver the collected signatures to the President of the United States, Barack Obama, as clear evidence that the people of Venezuela reject the crude interference in our internal affairs,” Rodriguez added.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who has set a goal of collecting at least 10 million signatures – about a third of the country’s total population – ahead of the Summit of the Americas taking place April 10-11 in Panama, also called on people to continue their support.
“Let us continue supporting the fatherland. Signatures are being collected at public squares and door-to-door. We have reached 5 million and we will collect 10 million,” Maduro said on Twitter.
Earlier this month, Obama issued an executive order to impose further sanctions against Venezuela and declared the country an “unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security.” The sanctions target seven individuals accused by Washington of alleged human rights violations and “public corruption.”
In response, the Venezuelan lawmakers granted Maduro a right to rule by decree till the end of the year to defend the country’s integrity and sovereignty against “imperialist threats” from the US government.
Maduro’s crusade against US interference in his country’s affairs has received wide support across the Latin American region. The president of Ecuador, Rafael Correa, joined the campaign launched by the Venezuelan government and signed a petition which said that “Venezuela is not a threat.”
“This is not about being for or against a government, it is to ensure respect for international law,” Correa said last week. “We are collecting million signatures to tell Obama that’s enough, Latin America has already changed.”
