&lt;p&gt;Unless you live under a rock, you know about the Libor scandal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For those just now emerging from a coma, here’s a recap:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;The big banks have conspired for years to rig interest rates … upon which &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2012/07/big-banks-criminally-conspire-to-rig-800-trillion-dollar-market.html" title="$800 trillion in assets are pegged" target="_blank"&gt;$800 trillion in assets are pegged&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;This was the &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2012/07/libor-the-largest-insider-trading-scandal-ever.html" title="largest insider trading scandal ever" target="_blank"&gt;largest insider trading scandal ever&lt;/a&gt; … and the &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2012/07/the-biggest-banking-scam-in-world-history.html" title="largest financial scam in world history" target="_blank"&gt;largest financial scam in world history&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2012/07/the-big-losers-in-the-libor-rate-manipulation.html" title="Local governments got ripped off bigtime" target="_blank"&gt;Local governments got ripped off bigtime&lt;/a&gt; by the Libor manipulation&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Libor is &lt;a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-21523989" title="still being manipulated" target="_blank"&gt;still being manipulated&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Derivatives Are Manipulated&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The big banks have &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2012/08/a-cartel-of-big-banks-is-harming-the-world-economy-by-manipulating-derivatives.html" title="manipulation of the derivatives" target="_blank"&gt;long manipulated derivatives&lt;/a&gt; … a &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2012/05/top-derivatives-expert-finally-gives-a-credible-estimate-of-the-size-of-the-global-derivatives-market.html" title="size of the derivatives market" target="_blank"&gt;$&lt;em&gt;1,200 Trillion&lt;/em&gt; Dollar market&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Indeed, many trillions of dollars of derivatives are being manipulated in the &lt;a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-04-10/icap-brokers-on-treasure-island-said-to-reap-isdafix-rewards.html" title="exact same same way" target="_blank"&gt;exact same same way &lt;/a&gt;that interest rates are fixed: through &lt;a href="http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-04-18/meet-isdafix-the-libor-scandals-sequel" title="gamed self-reporting" target="_blank"&gt;gamed self-reporting&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gold and Silver Are Manipulated&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Guardian and Telegraph report that gold and silver prices are “fixed” in the same way as interest rates and derivatives – in &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2013/03/gold-and-silver-prices-are-set-with-libor-like-daily-conference-call-with-a-handful-of-big-banks.html" title="daily conference calls by the powers-that-be" target="_blank"&gt;daily conference calls by the powers-that-be&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Everything Can Be Manipulated through High-Frequency Trading&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Traders with high-tech computers can manipulate &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2012/04/84-of-all-stock-trades-are-by-high-frequency-computers-only-16-are-done-by-humans.html" title="stocks" target="_blank"&gt;stocks&lt;/a&gt;,  &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2012/07/libor-is-not-the-only-manipulated-economic-indicator.html" title="bonds, options, currencies and commodities" target="_blank"&gt;bonds, options, currencies and commodities&lt;/a&gt;. And see &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2009/07/goldman-sachs-admits-its-software-can-manipulate-markets-in-unfair-ways%E2%80%9D.html" title="this" target="_blank"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Manipulating Numerous Markets In Myriad Ways&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The big banks and other giants manipulate &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2012/07/big-banks-are-criminal-enterprises.html" title="numerous markets in myriad ways" target="_blank"&gt;numerous markets in myriad ways&lt;/a&gt;, for example:&lt;/p&gt;
