This is not normal. The conduct of the trusts, monopolies and cartels in the media and the markets, must be investigated for ties, agencies, connections and leads to extremist and terrorist groups and organized crime. Particularly with regard to 9/11, the war in Afghanistan, the terrorist attacks in Europe, especially in France, Germany, Belgium, the UK, Netherlands and Spain, illegal undocumented migration, trafficking and industrial crime, financial crime and the war in Gaza.

Top Fed official ‘open’ to September rate cut as inflation cools
The considerations for setting interest rates, are the following:
1) Inflation. The price and value of capital, goods, services, assets and commodities in free markets, trades, transactions and exchanges. The purchase power and the exchange value of monetary currency.
2) Economics. As per (1) above. Interest rates are economic indicators of cost and price / value of capital in debt. Allocation, exploitation and use. Security and appreciation, investment and return.
3) Management. As per (1) and (2) above. Stock markets are competition exchanges for the management of capital investment in equity and debt. Free, under costed, undervalued or undisciplined (capital) liquidity, spoils performance in the management of capital (assets, businesses and resources) at commercial and institutional level, compromises the integrity of free markets, wastes resources and undermines the economy.
4) Corruption. As per (1), (2) and (3) above. Monetary authorities and Central banks dependency in markets and media trusts, monopolies and cartels. Unlawful state and monetary aid to special, preferred and privileged private interests (QE, interest rate elimination, other “unconventional” facilities, monetary and financial extremism etc). Market speculation, manipulation, insider trading and financial crime (crypto currency etc). Protection of market regulation integrity, competition and anti-trust.
