How Does the PPT Work?

Ok, so we all know the markets are rigged. We've been hearing about the Plunge Protection Team since 1987. What I wanna know is how it
works? Do they go in and buy Dow 30 futures on days like this? To bail out the numbers by 150 pts in the last thirty minutes? What I'm wondering
is might be a decent way to short the markets? Certainly not the Dow, since we know it will be pumped up regardless of economic fallout.
Is anyone watching the broader indices? When the market was down today about 440 pts, did only the Dow stocks make a partial recovery? I
understand they are only thirty stocks, and hardly representative of the broad markets. They probably buy up the SP500 as well to induce false
recoveries on down days. So are the majority of stocks already drowned, while the Dow thrashes water attempting stay afloat?
How do we short this market without getting backstabbed by the PPT?
