Dow Jones Propaganda Average (Dow Jones Industrial Average nickname)

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) is a stock market index (named after Charles Dow, founder of The Wall Street Journal). Andy Hoffman, marketing director of the precious metals firm of Miles Franklin, has said that the DJIA is not a true measure of industrial activity. Hoffman has called it the “Dow Jones Propaganda Average.”
 
“The Dow Jones Propaganda Average” was an Andy Hoffman article that was published in April 3, 2012. Hoffman has used the term many other times.
 
   
Wikipedia: Dow Jones Industrial Average
The Dow Jones Industrial Average /ˌdaʊ ˈdʒoʊnz/, also called DJIA, the Industrial Average, the Dow Jones, the Dow Jones Industrial, ^DJI, the Dow 30 or simply the Dow, is a stock market index, and one of several indices created by Wall Street Journal editor and Dow Jones & Company co-founder Charles Dow. The industrial average was first calculated on May 26, 1896. Currently owned by S&P Dow Jones Indices, which is majority owned by S&P Global, it is the most notable of the Dow Averages, of which the first (non-industrial) was first published on February 16, 1885. The averages are named after Dow and one of his business associates, statistician Edward Jones. It is an index that shows how 30 large publicly owned companies based in the United States have traded during a standard trading session in the stock market. It is the second oldest U.S. market index after the Dow Jones Transportation Average, which was also created by Dow.

The Dow Jones Propaganda Average
by Andrew Hoffman | Apr 3, 2012
Just as TPTB maintain CONTROL over financial markets with a pit bull’s veracity, I will continue to EXPOSE what they are doing.  Thanks to the “virality” of the internet, it is IMPOSSIBLE for them to prevent the flow of information, and with each passing week more and more damning evidence infiltrates the worldwide web.
 
Long ago, I learned the power of repeating key themes, which is why I make sure to document each day’s movement of PAPER gold and the “DOW JONES PROPAGANDA AVERAGE,” two of the most manipulated markets on Earth.

The All-Time Biggest Lie
by Andrew Hoffman | Oct 27, 2014
In TPTB’s desperation to “manipulate, jawbone, and pray” equities back up, both the frequency and blatancy of government intervention has achieved unprecedented levels.  Not only are they in full-fledged panic mode for its own sake, knowing the world has returned to “2008, with one temporary exception,” but a slew of potentially cataclysmic – and Cartel-destroying – events are upcoming like Wednesday’s expected “QE-ending” FOMC meeting, next week’s mid-term elections, the Catalonian secession referendum November 9th and the “granddaddy of them all” November 30th, when the Swiss decide whether to re-link the Franc to gold.  This is particularly true in the United States of Financial Mass Destruction, where the PPT has supplied “dead ringer algorithms” in each of the seven days since last Wednesday’s liquidity vacuum, despite an unrelenting onslaught of global horrible headlines.
 
To wit, European equities have barely rebounded, whilst the “Dow Jones Propaganda Average” has “miraculously” recouped nearly all its losses, via its best week in 21 months – for absolutely ZERO reason other than manipulation.

(...)
To that end, whilst the “Dow Jones Propaganda Average” has been propelled to all-time highs this week – amidst the most blatant PPT support ever; as the “oil PPT” desperately supported crude with non-sensical “production freeze” rumors, amidst an expanding collapse of supply/demand fundamentals; as Precious Metals were viciously attacked – in paper-thin holiday trading conditions, ahead of tomorrow’s COMEX options expiration, and Friday’s Yellen speech; Treasury yields are again challenging the all-time lows achieved amidst the post-BrExit chaos.
