By Ellen Brown<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

May 7, 2010<\/p>\n

Last week, Goldman Sachs was on the congressional hot seat, grilled for fraud in its sale of complicated financial products called \u201csynthetic CDOs.\u201d\u00a0 This week the heat was off, as all eyes turned to the attack of the shorts on Greek sovereign debt and the dire threat of a sovereign Greek default.\u00a0 By Thursday, Goldman\u2019s fraud had slipped from the headlines and Congress had been cowed into throwing in the towel on its campaign to break up the too-big-to-fail banks<\/a>. \u00a0On Friday, Goldman was in settlement talks with the SEC.<\/p>\n

Goldman and Wall Street reign.\u00a0 Congress appears helpless to discipline the big banks, just as the European Central Bank appears helpless to prevent the collapse of the European Union. . . . Or are they?<\/p>\n

Suspicious Market Maneuverings<\/strong><\/p>\n

The shorts circled like sharks in the Greek bond market, following a highly suspicious downgrade of Greek debt by Moody\u2019s on Monday.\u00a0 Ratings by private ratings agencies, long suspected of being in the pocket of Wall Street, often seem to be timed to cause stocks or bonds to jump or tumble, causing extreme reactions in the market.\u00a0 The Greek downgrade was suspicious and unexpected because the European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund had just pledged 120 billion Euros to avoid a debt default in Greece.<\/p>\n

Markets were roiled further on Thursday, when the U.S. stock market suddenly lost 999 points, and just as suddenly recovered two-thirds of that loss.\u00a0 It appeared to be such a clear case of tampering that Maria Bartiromo blurted out on CNBC, \u201cThat is ridiculous.\u00a0 This really sounds like market manipulation to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Manipulation by whom?\u00a0 Markets can be rigged with computers using high-frequency trading programs<\/a> (HFT), which now compose 70% of market trading; and Goldman Sachs is the undisputed leader<\/a> in this new gaming technique.\u00a0 Matt Taibbi<\/a> maintains that Goldman Sachs has been \u201cengineering every market manipulation since the Great Depression.\u201d When Goldman does not get its way, it is in a position to throw a tantrum and crash the market.\u00a0 It can do this with automated market making technologies like the one invented by Max Keiser<\/a>, which he claims is now being used to turbocharge market manipulation.<\/p>\n

Goldman was an investment firm until September 2008, when it became a \u201cbank holding company\u201d overnight in order to capitalize on the bank bailout, including borrowing virtually interest-free from the Federal Reserve and other banks.\u00a0 In January, when President Obama backed Paul Volcker in his plan to reinstate a form of the Glass-Steagall Act that would separate investment banking from commercial banking, the market collapsed<\/a> on cue, and the Volcker Rule faded from the headlines.<\/p>\n

When Goldman got dragged before Congress and the SEC in April, the Greek crisis arose<\/a> as a \u201ccounterpoint,\u201d diverting attention to that growing conflagration.\u00a0 Greece appears to be the sacrificial play in the EU just as Lehman Brothers was in the U.S., \u201cthe hostage the kidnappers shoot to prove they mean business.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Nuclear Option<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is still possible, however, for the European Central Bank to snatch Greece from the fire and rout the shorts.\u00a0 It can do this with what has been called the nuclear option<\/a> — \u201cmonetizing\u201d the debt of Greece and other debt-laden EU countries by effectively \u201cprinting money\u201d (quantitative easing) and buying the debt itself at very low interest rates. \u00a0This is called the \u201cnuclear option\u201d because it would blow up the hedge funds and electronic sharks operated by Goldman and other Wall Street heavies, which specialize in bringing down corporations and whole countries for strategic and exploitative ends.<\/p>\n

Will the ECB proceed with this plan?\u00a0 Perhaps, say some experts.\u00a0 It could just be waiting for the German election on Sunday, which the ECB does not want to appear to be influencing.<\/p>\n

Ellen Brown developed her research skills as an attorney practicing civil litigation in Los Angeles. In Web of Debt<\/a><\/span>, her latest of eleven books, she turns those skills to an analysis of the Federal Reserve and \u201cthe money trust.\u201d She shows how this private cartel has usurped the power to create money from the people themselves, and how we the people can get it back.
