In what sense is that free market capitolism at work?

Good question!

Its not. They are, in essence, rigging the free market capitalist system and affecting changes in it.

However, in a rational sence, they are controlling the Economy so as to smooth out the Highs and Lows (the Amplitude of the Waves).

I respectfully disagree. Have you ever heard of pilot induced oscillations or Edward Deming? Trying to control a variable, especially without enough information, leads to larger oscillations in the variable.
