*This is a multi-part series Zero Hedge has been compiling on the corruption and manipulation perpetrated by international banks, Mozambique's governing officials, international investors, Sovereign Nations, and the IMF/World Bank.
After yesterday's two key events, the ECB and OPEC meetings, ended up being major duds, the market is looking at the week's final and perhaps most important event of the week: the May payrolls report to generate some upward volatility and help stocks finally break out of the range they have been caught in for over a year. However, even today's jobs number will likely be skewed as reported previously as a result of the Verizon strike which is said to trim some 35,000 jobs from the headline print, casting anything the BLS reports today in doubt.
