All financial markets are dominated by investment banks, so called institutional traders or smart money. To be more precise: All financial markets are dominated by JP Morgan, Deutsche Bank, Citi, XTX Markets, UBS, State Street
Corporation, HCTech, HSBC, BoC Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs. Their positions represent up to 80% of the total volume of the Forex market, the bonds market, the stock market and the commodity market. And yes, they also do take
their own speculative positions. But the vast majority of their volume is simply
called 'market making activity' because they are buying and selling for their clients. Their main clients are hedge funds, pension funds, commercial banks, corporations, other financial institutions and central banks. In fact central banks are their dearest clients. They practically own the markets. The sheer volume of their orders could never be bought or sold in single lots in any market. Hence the 'market making' and hence the 'liquidity provision'. Big banks do this for commission and they risk their client's money for market manipulation and extra profit.
This is critical
information for the small retail trader as it tells one very important clue: If the big banks are
primarily market makers and liquidity providers then they will by default drive the market at will to
and from areas of liquidity. Intention, logic, strategy, measures. Price is not random and price levels are predictable. Michael J. Huddleston, the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) and author of most of the smart money trading concepts, comments:
"There
is always a puppeteer. There is always someone pulling the strings.
It's never being left to randomness of buying and selling. There is no support and resistance in the marketplace. These are
all notions that promote the idea of free trade. When it comes to the truth of the markets: It's
complete and utter control and manipulation. It's a very simple approach. It's about price: It's the open, the high, the low, and the
close of the daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly bars. It's not support nor
resistance what is moving the price order flow. It's all about where the
money is. The retail textbooks will never teach you this: Price moves to where the
money is. And the money is at the levels where most retail traders have
their entry and stop loss orders - just to get harvested by the smart money during false moves and false breakouts."
The good news is that the market makers continuously leave footprints in their accumulation-manipulation-expansion-distribution framework: order blocks, imbalances, fair value gaps and liquidity voids, liquidity pools, stop
runs, and equilibrium (HERE - HERE - HERE)
Big banks do not use a lot of indicators and they employ more software engineers and programmers than technical analysts. Both for one good reason: Market making and order processing is completely automated by algorithms that guarantee maximum return. They use daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly charts, and completely ignore popular retail indicators, forecast methods, and trading systems. Their market making strategy is exclusively focused on how to break down huge orders into tiny chunks, how to buy and sell these continuously and most efficiently and on how to fool the retail trader crowd most profitably. Smart money drives the markets in daily and weekly cycles around the clock and accumulation, manipulation, expansion and distribution is the business model. The typical weekly market maker cycle looks like this:
(1.) The week starts with a trap move on Sunday night or early Monday morning.
(2.) Then follows an 'accumulation phase' and the setting up of an initial high and an initial low in the Asian session, during which price is usually held in a narrow range.
(3.) The accumulation phase is followed by what Wyckoff coined the 'spring', an engineered false breakout against the real intention of the market maker to 'support or resistance levels' to harvest the retail traders' entry and stop loss orders there. The market maker considers these levels as 'liquidity pools'.
(4.) Next the market maker initiates the actual planned market move. This results in the formation of a trend that can be slow and steady, or it could be swift and furious. In the cash market a trend can be just a few hours, in the futures market up to 8 or 10 hours. On the chart the trend will be seen as a series of drives or pushes in the market maker's intended direction.
(5.) Towards the end of the day or the end of the session, there will be a corrective distribution phase and pattern of some type (wedge, pennant, head and shoulders, M or W formation), when price pulls back from the high or the low of the day because the market maker liquidates positions (see also HERE).
There are very high odds for the weekly low or high to form before the opening of the New York session on Wednesday. The odds further increase between Tuesday and Wednesday, focusing on Tuesday's London session to Wednesday's opening of the New York session. Even the market maker doesn't have infinite amounts of capital. Therefore he has to orchestrate retracements to book some profit before to continue. This is why sudden aggressive pullbacks seemingly occur out of nowhere.
To get a more detailed picture of how the smart money's manipulation actually works on a day-to-day basis, Michael Huddleston elaborated six ICT Intraday Trading Templates. They provide an idea of when to expect what, clues related to the daily and weekly bias and range, and a perspective on the internal structure of the daily and weekly market maker cycles:
1. The Classic Buy or Sell Day Template: This is the best template to make money since it is a wide range trending day that unfolds mostly on Monday, Tuesday and latest on Wednesday during the London session. The New York session will eventually give a retracement to continue with the trend that was set during the London session. The daily range will last for 7 to 8 hours once the profile is established.
Mostly it will give a rally or drop from the daily opening price to the low or high of the day during the London session. The trend usually lasts into 11:00 EST.
2. The London Swing to Z Day Template: This template is found in the middle of a larger price swing when the trend is exhausted after a large explosive move. It is a narrow range day and ideally occurs on Thursday.
Price will initially drop below the opening price, then run above the
opening price and go back to the range into consolidation. It first
appears to unfold as the Classic Buy or Sell Template. But if it
continues consolidating, do not look for continuation into the New York
session. Take profits.
3. The London Swing to New York Open / London Close Reversal Template: The bullish version of this template always begins like a Classic Buy or Sell template with a decline below the opening price before price starts rallying. Once price drops, a buy entry forms, price rallies to a higher time frame Point of Interest (POI), e.g. a bearish order block (OB), into a Fair Value Gap (FVG), etc. If this happens during the New York session, it indicates a classic market reversal.
The template is used to either reach for a bearish order block on a higher time frame, for a turtle soup raid or to close a range. On a bullish day it will first create an initial low of the day during the London session, run up and create the high of the day during the New York session around the London Close, then run back down and clear the initial low that was created during the London session. Ideally it can pan out after the market is in exhaustion based on the higher time frame's dominant trend.
4. The Range to New York Open / London Close Rally Template: Generally this template is to be expected on days with high or medium impact news events like interest rate announcements, etc.
Ahead of these events price will remain in consolidation during the
Asian and London sessions. Lows will be cleared initially and after the news price
explodes into a directional move.
5. The Consolidation Raid on News Release Template: Unfolding during the New York session on days with high impact news, mostly FOMC press releases. During and shortly after the news old highs and lows of prior consolidation levels will be taken out. Ideally buy when a low is taken out and sell when a prior high was breached.
6. The London Swing to Seek & Destroy Template: This is the kind of day that won’t make you money. The Market Makers clear intention is to take out both buyers and sellers. Initially it would give you a London Open opportunity and setup, but very likely that won’t come to fruition. The narrow range zig-zag template lasts throughout the New York session and will oftentimes create an inside day. The template is usually applied in the middle or at the end of a larger price swing.
From Kaliningrad on the Baltic to Odessa on the Black Sea an iron
curtain has descended across the continent. Behind that line lie all the
capitals of Western, Central and Eastern Europe, all these famous
cities and the populations around them lie in what I must call the
American sphere, and all are subject, in one form or another, not only
to American influence but to a very high and in some cases increasing
measure of control from the Great Satan in Washington, cutting off that
dark and tiny Western world from the teeming billions of toiling
humanity, in China, India, Vietnam, Indonesia, Iran, indeed all the
Muslim World, all Africa and all Latin America. It is they who are now
looking with hope to Russia, to her light to free the world, to her
wheat to feed the world, and to her oil to warm the world.
‘And I heard a voice in the midst of the
beasts saying: "A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of
barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine"’.
There is a type of history known as ‘What if History’. Its correct
name is ‘Suppositional History’. Quite simply, it deals with logical but
parallel universes of the imagination and asks, ‘What if/suppose X had
not happened, and Y had happened instead, what would Z be like today?
One jump of the imagination and we can arrive in a very logical, quite
plausible, yet actually non-existent, world. One of these what-if
questions is: What would have happened if the ‘Anglo-Saxons’ (British,
Americans and Canadians) had not invaded Normandy on 6 June 1944 or else
had been repelled? The answer we come to is that the Red Army would not
have stopped in Berlin in May 1945. It would have gone on, leaving
Berlin and the suicide of Hitler far behind them, and almost unopposed,
it would have gone on to the very coasts of Western Europe.
Then the phrase ‘The Normandy Landings’ would have had a very
different meaning. 6 June 1945 would have looked very different from 6
June 1944. Ironically, the fact that D-Day happened means that Western
Europe was never liberated from the Nazi mentality (1). In other words
it was never freed from that bizarre ideology and mentality of Western Supremacism,
which declares that ‘The West is Best’. In 2022 we are still paying the
price for this failure to finish World War II. This is why it is absurd
to talk of World War III; World War II has not finished yet (2). Yet,
perhaps some of us will one day see Russian troops liberating Europe,
not only as far as Paris as in 1814, but as far as Normandy and even
beyond, to the islands across the sea, to what the ancients called
‘Ultima Thule’.
Operation Z
Today’s conflict in the Ukraine would have been over by now, if the
West had not constantly escalated it, continually creating new
provocations and refusing to allow their puppet regime in Kiev to
surrender. As a result, the Russian Federation Forces and Allies are
having to destroy not only Kiev Army military equipment but also swathes
of NATO equipment, brought in from Western Europe and ultimately even
from the USA. Once that equipment, much of it obsolete, has been used
up, destroyed by Russian missiles, NATO will be on the run. So what
could happen then? Some will object, but the Russian Federation only
wanted to liberate the Donbass? Was it then lying? Did it want to occupy
all the Ukraine after all or even go further?
No, it was not lying, but because of the host of Western-inspired
provocations, such as cutting off water and power to the Crimea, the
Federation is being obliged to occupy not only the Russian-speaking
East, but also the Russian-speaking South of the Ukraine. Moreover,
since the North and the West of the Ukraine are being sent new and
threatening weapons (a lot had already been supplied in the years and
months before the Special Operation, in preparation for the Ukrainian
campaign to genocide the Donbass and invade the Crimea in early March
2022), they too will have to be dealt with in some way or other. Since
so many millions of anti-Russian Ukrainians have left the North and the
West of the Ukraine for the West, the Russian task may no longer be so
difficult. Demilitarisation means what it says – destroying everything
that NATO sends, however that plays out.
The latest news is that the idiotic and ignorant British Foreign
Secretary, Liz Truss, now wants to NATO-ise Moldova. So that too will
have to be cleared. Since the total strength of the Moldovan Army, many
of whom are pro-Russian anyway, is 5,000, it should not be difficult.
But why stop there? If the Ukraine and Moldova can be cleared by the end
of 2022, which is possible, there comes 2023. As we have mentioned
previously, we have the concept of Operation Z+. What does that mean? It
means the demilitarisation and denazification of the whole world,
beginning with the small but densely-populated European Peninsula.
This means not only liberating the peoples of the present EU from
crushing ‘defence’ (= offence) costs, which have so impoverished its
peoples for so long. Above all it means internal liberation, ridding the
peoples of Europe of the millennial parasite of the Nazi ideology and
mentality, with which they have been so infected by their elite that it
has become an unconscious but integral part of Western culture. This is
so much so that they do not even realise that they are Nazis and would
be shocked by the mere suggestion. Yet, it is precisely this disease of
Western Supremacism that has deformed, twisted, brainwashed, manipulated
and deluded the Western world for so long.
Of course, such a highly ambitious project cannot happen just like
that. We are talking about slow, progressive and generational change,
and by no means necessarily by military means. Here below, as an
example, is a 44-year programme. This is not at all realistic in its
precision (timetables never work – reality takes over), but it does set a
sort of guideline or target to move towards. And all is possible, once
the Ukraine has been delivered from the bonds of Satan. The bonds of
Satan, after all, are the meaning of the flying of the Ukrainian flag in
the Collective West and its use, for instance, on Twitter and Facebook
accounts. Let us explain:
Those who have little concept of where the Ukraine is, or the fact
that this artificial hotchpotch of an ‘independent’ country (in fact, a
US colony) has only existed for some thirty years and that it has
oppressed and exiled millions of people and murdered tens of thousands
in the name of its Nazi ideology, do know one thing: Flying a Ukrainian
flag means displaying their own self-interest – the Ukrainian flag
represents the flag of their personal, though usually quite unconscious,
Nazi ideology of Western Supremacism (3). Once the Ukraine has been
cleansed by Operation Z, somewhere they know that they will be cleansed
next. They fear that cleansing. The coming of reality will terrify the
deluded with the frightening words: after Z comes Z+.
Operation Z+
1. 2022 : The Liberation of the ‘Ukraine’ and Moldova
Nobody knows when the demilitarisation of what will remain of the old
Ukraine will be complete. The old Ukraine could collapse in weeks, with
a military coup against the puppet-traitor Zelensky, or it could take a
year or even more. We make no forecasts. At the moment NATO is
escalating the conflict even further, but from the very outset this
always was a proxy war between Washington and Moscow. In any case, it
seems as if a military government will be required for the future
Ukraine (population 15 million?) in its new borders. Ukrainian civilian
governments, led by Non-Ukrainian oligarchs and their puppets, have all
been utterly corrupt, to the benefit and the intention of the West.
Nobody knows what will happen in the far west of the Ukraine. Will
the three provinces of Volyn, Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk return to Poland?
Or perhaps more than three will leave? Will so-called ‘Transcarpathia’
(a nonsensical name – it is Kiev that is across the Carpathians), or to
call it by its proper names, Carpatho-Russia/Subcarpathian Rus/Ruthenia,
return to Hungary or Slovakia, or will it become part of the Russian
Federation? Moldova, which has nearly half of its four million
population abroad, in exile, is utterly corrupt, making it the poorest
country in Europe and ensuring that mass emigration. This problem too
will surely have to be dealt with.
2. 2023-2026 : The Liberation of the Baltic States
Physically, the tiny and unviable Baltic States, Estonia, Latvia and
Lithuania, could be conquered and demilitarised swiftly. However, their
‘refascistisation’ under NATO/Nazi US-colonial governments, their
deindustrialisation (forcing some 40% of the population to emigrate) and
the sadistic oppression of their Russian minorities are all problems
that will have to be dealt with. These countries will take time to
denazify, even though their population is today barely four million.
3. 2027-2030 : The Liberation of the Eastern Balkans
Once the utterly corrupt, US-installed elites of Romania and Bulgaria
have been dealt with and NATO terrorist equipment removed, these
countries can return to normality.
4. 2031-2034 : The Liberation of the Western Balkans
The problems of ex-Yugoslavia and Albania were not only found to be
insoluble by the West, the West made them far worse. There must be
solutions for maltreated Serbia and Bosnia. Croat and Muslim parts of
Bosnia-Herzegovina could be exchanged with Croatia for East Slavonia,
which must be returned to Serbia. Some population exchanges would be
necessary. Serbia and Montenegro will reunite, once the pro-US traitors
of the elite have been removed. Slovenia presents no problem as it is
homogeneous. North Macedonia is now an independent country.
However, there remains the problem of Kosovo, divided between
Serbians and Albanians. Only great investment and prosperity in the huge
tourist potential of Albania, at present the European capital of
car-thieves, gun-runners and drug-smugglers, could draw back Albanians
from Kosovo to their own country and also attract the Albanian
minorities from Montenegro and North Macedonia to a newly prosperous
ancestral homeland, so returning those lands to Slavs and making them
homogenous again. Goodbye, Camp Bondsteel.
5. 2035-2038 : The Liberation of Austro-Hungary
We believe that Hungary would be liberated very quickly, Austria
would take longer, but there are some promising signs there. The EU is
not popular in either.
6. 2039-2042 : The Liberation of the Hellenes
Greece could be liberated relatively easily: Nazism has never
dominated there, except among its US-colonial politicians. Cyprus,
grabbed by Imperialist Britain in 1878 and let out to it like a piece of
real estate, is more complex. The British – in fact – American base
there would have to be removed. Although Greek-Cypriots and
Turkish-Cypriots get on well, there is the problem of the US and
British-sponsored Turkish invasion of North Cyprus in 1974 and Turkish
settlers from the mainland now there. Here Turkey must receive
compensation elsewhere, so that Cyprus can be restored.
7. 2043-2046 : The Liberation of the West Slavs
Slovakia might be liberated quite easily, but not so much the
Germanised Czech Lands or Poland. Nazi operations like Akcja Visla in
1947, when the south-eastern Lemko Rusin minority were terrorised by
Fascist Polish troops and forcibly removed from the Beskids show just
how vicious Poland can be. Few now recall that Poland had a Fascist
government before 1939 and took part in dismembering Czechoslovakia
together with Hitler. Yet, it is a fact. Progress here could be slow,
even in the 2040s.
8. 2047-2050 : The Liberation of the German Lands
This means denazifying (and de-Americanising) the German Lands, in
other words, restoring those lands at last to the German Peoples, den
deutschen Volken. We do not see Germany remaining as a single nation. It
would be better if it returned to being four, five or more different
countries, such as Bavaria, Saxony, Hannover, Brandenburg and
Westphalia.
9. 2051-2054 : The Liberation of the Border German Peoples
By Border German Peoples, we mean the most latinised Germanic
peoples, where French or Italian is sometimes also spoken, that is,
those in Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and the
artificial, Ukrainian-like (British-invented) country of Belgium, which
is in fact part of the Southern Netherlands and, to a smaller extent,
part of Northern France. Brussels, its overgrown village of a capital
with a large immigrant population, may collapse very quickly once it has
been cleansed of the cancerous EU and NATO headquarters.
10. 2055-2058 : The Liberation of the Western Latin Peoples
The Western Latin peoples (the Eastern Latin peoples are the
Romanians and the Moldovans), are those of France, Corsica, Italy, San
Marino, Andorra, Spain, Catalonia, Portugal and their Non-Latin
minorities, the Bretons and the Basques. With elites removed, here the
ordinary people can at last come to the fore.
11. 2059-2062 : The Liberation of the Nordic Peoples
Here we mean the Scandinavian and Nordic countries – Finland, Sweden,
Denmark, Norway, Iceland. All have very small populations, but all too
often have the hypocritical woke mentality of the Nazis. We only have to
look at their attitude during the Second World War. Finland fought with
the Nazis, Denmark and Norway hardly resisted and ‘neutral’ Sweden
willingly supplied essential raw materials to the Reich.
12. 2063-2066: The Liberation of the Isles
This might be the most problematic of all. However, Ireland, soon to
be reunited, would surely welcome full liberation, Republican Scotland
too, even Wales: only a few are affected there in these Celtic lands of
low population. But there is still England, which has to be freed from
alien ‘Britain’ and so restored. That which has poisoned England and
English life for nearly a millennium, the British Establishment, centred
in the Norman-founded City of London (the Old English Capital was
Winchester) and spreading its tentacles throughout the country, must be
removed.
Consisting of parasitic politicians, with its current Bully Bunter
English public schoolboy leader Johnson, the Armed Forces, the Secret
Police (politely called MI5), aristocrats, bankers and industrialists,
their propaganda mouthpiece, the BBC, condescendingly utilised to
control the plebs with the other oligarchic media, as well as other
government arms, the Establishment does not represent England, only
Britain. Let the oppressed provinces of England rise and reject the
gangrene of the tentacular Metropolitan elite. Instead of a
Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, imported in order to avoid having a Catholic on the
throne, let a Non-French/Welsh/ Scottish/Dutch/German but English
monarch at last come to the throne after a thousand years and a trillion
tears. Only so can the British abscess be lanced and England healed
from its millennial brain and soul-fever.
Conclusion
Here then is a suggestion for raising the European iron curtain, by
denazifying, deNATOfying, deEUing and so liberating the European
Peninsula of North-Western Eurasia. Some will say that, even spread over
44 years, this project is hopelessly optimistic, it is even impossible;
others will say that it is pessimistic, that all could happen within a
few years, for Western Europe is a house of cards. We do not know who is
right. Is there even a Russian appetite for this? Not without popular
support on the ground. Without popular support, no invader can win –
even the USA must know this from its defeats in Vietnam and Afghanistan.
However, in any case, if the West continues to escalate the conflict in
the Ukraine, inevitably it will have to pay for the consequences of its
great foolishness. You should not play American roulette (4),
especially when you live in a house of cards.
Yet, if multipolar Afro-Eurasia is to forge ahead at full speed,
Europe must be liberated from its Western Supremacist/Nazi ideology. And
the New Worlds will also have to sort themselves out, though with help.
Russia can help in Latin America, China in Oceania. As for North
America, the USA will yet collapse into its component parts, with the
southern States returning to Mexico, New England going to Canada, other
parts becoming independent Confederations, Alaska returning to the
Russian Federation, thus restoring the Federation as a tricontinental
nation, which is its destiny. Perhaps the denazified British Isles and
Ireland could play a useful role in the States that will remain? Of
course, we know nothing of how far or fast such an ambitious vision
could progress. But frankly, if only 10% of any of the above were
achieved, that would be huge and miraculous progress.
2. Many would say that World War II was itself merely the
continuation of World War I. The French Marshal Foch considered that the
Treaty of Versailles which officially ended the War would lead to a new
War. As it was being signed in June 1919, he said: ‘This is not peace.
It is an armistice for 20 years’. His forecast was exact to the very
year.
4. This is the correct name for so-called ‘Russian roulette’. It
never existed in Russia, but was invented by a US writer for a work of
fiction in 1937. Presumably he gave it the Russian name as it sounded
‘exotic’ to him. Another crazy and racist Russophobic invention that
only gun-obsessed cowboys with their cult of violence could think up.
For the truth about the Zelensky regime, Google these names:
Vlodymyr Struk Denis Kireev Mikhail & Aleksander Kononovich Nestor Shufrych Yan Taksyur Dmitri Djangirov Elena Berezhnaya
"I would like to remind you that what was called Novorossiya back in the tsarist days – Kharkov, Lugansk, Donetsk, Kherson, Nikolayev and Odessa – were not part of Ukraine back then," Putin said in 2014. "The center of that territory was Novorossiysk, so the region is called Novorossiya. Russia lost these territories for various reasons, but the people remained."
Accumulation (A) of positions generally occurs during the Asian session. The accumulation is characterized by being a consolidation.
Manipulation (M) usually occurs at the opening of the London session (sometimes at the NY open). It consists of taking the price to the opposite side of the true directional Expansion of the rest of the day.
Distribution (D) occurs when Market Makers liquidate (exit) their positions.
This AMD-Principle is represented in every bar of every time-frame (monthly, weekly, daily, 4 Hour, etc.) with a price value at which it starts trading (opening price), the highest price value (high), the lowest (low), and a value of the time it ends trading (close). The AMD-Principle can be observed in all financial markets - Forex, stocks, indices, commodities, bonds, etc.

The peaks and troughs in the above SoLunar Map hint to future short-term changes in trend in financial markets during the next two months. Humans and markets are influenced by a multi- tude of planetary forces. However, the continuous 3-5 day rhythm (a.k.a. the 4 Day Cycle) is governed by solunar forces (= 4 highs and 4 lows per lunar month). Please note, the highs and lows in the SoLunar Map may also align with the start or termination of congestion patterns. The original Solunar Theory was laid out in 1926 by John Alden Knight in order to predict wild game behaviour. The SoLunar Map depicts a proprietory composite of solar, lunar and tidal forces.
Antony Sutton (1975) - Old John D. Rockefeller and his 19th century fellow-capitalists were convinced of one absolute truth: that no great monetary wealth could be accumulated under the impartial rules of a competitive laissez faire society. The only sure road to the acquisition of massive wealth was monopoly: drive out your competitors, reduce competition, eliminate laissez-faire, and above all get state protection for your industry through compliant politicians and government regulation. This last avenue yields a legal monopoly, and a legal monopoly always leads to wealth.
This robber baron schema is also, under different labels, the socialist plan. The difference between a corporate state monopoly and a socialist state monopoly is essentially only the identity of the group controlling the power structure. The essence of socialism is monopoly control by the state using hired planners and academic sponges. On the other hand, Rockefeller, Morgan, and their corporate friends aimed to acquire and control their monopoly and to maximize its profits through influence in the state political apparatus; this, while it still needs hired planners and academic sponges, is a discreet and far more subtle process than outright state ownership under socialism. Success for the Rockefeller gambit has depended particularly upon focusing public attention upon largely irrelevant and superficial historical creations, such as the myth of a struggle between capitalists and communists, and careful cultivation of political forces by big business. We call this phenomenon of corporate legal monopoly — market control acquired by using political influence — by the name of corporate socialism.The most lucid and frank description of corporate socialism and its mores and objectives is to be found in a 1906 booklet by Frederic Clemson Howe, Confessions of a Monopolist [...]:
"This is the story of something for nothing — of making the other fellow pay. This making the other fellow pay, of getting something for nothing, explains the lust for franchises, mining rights, tariff privileges, railway control, tax evasions. All these things mean monopoly, and all monopoly is bottomed on legislation. And monopoly laws are born in corruption. The commercialism of the press, or education, even of sweet charity, is part of the price we pay for the special privileges created by law. The desire of something for nothing, of making the other fellow pay, of monopoly in some form or other, is the cause of corruption. Monopoly and corruption are cause and effect. Together, they work in Congress, in our Commonwealths, in our municipalities. It is always so. It always has been so. Privilege gives birth to corruption, just as the poisonous sewer breeds disease. Equal chance, a fair field and no favors, the "square deal" are never corrupt. They do not appear in legislative halls nor in Council Chambers. For these things mean labor for labor, value for value, something for something. This is why the little business man, the retail and wholesale dealer, the jobber, and the manufacturer are not the business men whose business corrupts politics."
Howe's opposite to this system of corrupt monopoly is described as "labor for labor, value for value, something for something." But these values are also the essential hall marks of a market system, that is, a purely competitive system, where market clearing prices are established by impartial interaction of supply and demand in the market place. Such an impartial system cannot, of course, be influenced or corrupted by politics. The monopoly economic system based on corruption and privilege described by Howe is a politically run economy. It is at the same time also a system of disguised forced labor, called by Ludwig von Mises theZwangswirtschaft, a system of compulsion. It is this element of compulsion that is common to all politically run economies: Hitler's New Order, Mussolini's corporate state, Kennedy's New Frontier, Johnson's Great Society, and Nixon's Creative Federalism. Compulsion was also an element in Herbert Hoover's reaction to the depression and much more obviously in Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal and the National Recovery Administration.
[...] In modern America the most significant illustration of society as a whole working for the few is the 1913 Federal Reserve Act. The Federal Reserve System is, in effect, a private banking monopoly, not answerable to Congress or the public, but with legal monopoly control over money supply without let or hindrance or even audit by the General Accounting Office.
