World financial markets are suddenly in complete disarray. Volatility is exploding. Stock futures are losing and gaining hundreds of points in the blink of an eye. 

The Plunge Protection Team (PPT) is hard at work, we can see its rescue attempts quite clearly today -- but they're having to work hard to keep the markets green. The indices rise, then plunge, then rise again.

Of course, the PPT is knows it has to succeed today. There’s nothing more dangerous to these inflated markets than the loss of faith that “they” are in control.

And that perception is dangerously close to giving way.
