Do you believe the world markets are being manipulated by the banks and governments?

The past year after the crash the stock market has been recovering much of the losses from the big crash. While the market has went up trading volume has been low. Then there are the rumors of the "Plunge protection team". With government debt going through the roof they need inflation. The problem as I see it is, the consumer is tapped out and not wanting to borrow any more money. This is keeping the money supply going into T-bills and not into circulation. With deflation trying to take hold the governments and banks will be bankrupt. Greece is just the beginning. Scary.
