Here is a great article (considering it’s bbc) regarding the next pending flash crash of the markets no thanks to algo trading (High Frequency Trading – HFT).

Algo trading is also called automated trading, black-box trading, whitebox trading and robo trading. These trades have no human intervention and account for up to 70% of the markets worldwide. Scary stuff considering over $2 trillion is traded on forex… daily (this figure could be as high as $4trillion.. a day). A glitch in the matrix could have devastating consequences as we saw during the flash crash of May 6, 2010, affectionately called The Crash of 2:45

As if market manipulation wasn’t enough to contend with for the average Joe Bloggs retail trader, there is also algos to compete with, you see a double bottom forming, a harami, pinbar etc, then chances are the algos are already waiting to pounce and stop you out. The swines.
Here is a great video describing high frequency trading and algorithms
Yet more strange and wonderful events going on around the world.
Many countries have been reporting strange sounds which sound like trumpets being blown. Definitely worth a listen…
Could these sounds be linked to the Russians reporting a nuclear explosion which hit a vast US military tunnel network on the 22nd Aug 2011!
What if this vast underground tunnel network is part of a DUMBS network (Deep Underground Military Bases). These tunnels and underground cities are where the Read more…
On May 1, 2011 Pres. Barack Obama appeared on national television with the
spontaneous announcement that Osama bin Laden, the purported organizer of
the tragic events of September 11th 2001, was killed by military forces in
Pakistan.
Within moments, a media blitz ran across virtually all television networks
in what could only be described as a grotesque celebratory display,
reflective of a level of emotional immaturity that borders on cultural
psychosis. Depictions of people running through the streets of New York and
Washington chanting jingoistic American slogans, waving their flags like
the members of some cult, praising the death of another human being,
reveals yet another layer of this sickness we call modern society. Read more…
Perhaps the recent events of Thailand and Greece are the beginnings of the next phase in the NWO agenda.
In Thailand, the Thai people have become disillusioned with the political process that has been so called ‘democracy’, and want to depose their corrupt PM, as a result the gov’t are taking the stance; use deadly force to control the dissent. Over 85 dead and thousands injured. A class war, and possibly a civil war is on the brink of breaking out in one of the most beautiful countries in the world. The majority of red shirts are rural farmers with little or no money.
Then of course we have Greece which has far wider ramifications, namely that the rest of Europe will soon follow suit. Ireland is another example of a country that’s gone to the dogs.
Talk of a global police state is becoming ever more prevalent in the news. The discussion about the UK becoming a police state is no longer conspiracy, but fact.
In the news today the former head of MI5 Dame Stella Rimington has claimed that the Government has exploited people’s fear of terrorism to restrict civil liberties.
She said ministers risk handing a victory to terrorists by making people “live in fear and in a police state”. Read more…
