_FINANCIAL TYRANNY: Defeating the Greatest Cover-Up of All Time Section Two: The History Section Three: The Real World Section Four: The Occult Economy All Pages ---------------------------------------------------- (DivineCosmos) A 122-nation alliance is backing a lawsuit that could free the Earth from financial tyranny. This investigation reveals who the perpetrators are and what we can do to solve the problem. JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME 2012 has begun as a year of rampant paranoia and hopelessness on the Internet and throughout mainstream media. The economy appears to be in a dire predicament -- ready to go over a cliff into an abyss few can even allow themselves to consider. The Euro has been teetering on the brink of total collapse. A frantic bailout of the entire European Union, proposed by the Federal Reserve, has done very little to relieve the fears of the public. On December 19th, 2011, Britain announced they will refuse to participate in this bailout -- showing how tense and uncertain the situation really is. Simultaneously, very aggressive and blatant moves are being made to start World War III in the Middle East -- with imminent, ever-increasing threats from Israel and the United States to attack Iran. Since 9/11, Americans and much of the Western world have been led to believe that the biggest enemy they face is terrorism from Islamic extremists. Nonetheless, there is now overwhelming, undeniable evidence that the true enemy... is within. You are about to read a comprehensive investigation summarizing all the best information I have gathered about the true nature of this crisis since I became directly aware of it in 1992. Very few people are aware that a massive 122-nation coalition has formed to solve the problem -- just in the nick of time – and they are backing a legal, public solution to end Financial Tyranny. A TRILLION DOLLAR LAWSUIT A trillion-dollar lawsuit was filed as of November 23, 2011 -- and the resulting investigation will provide a rock-solid legal framework to reveal the full nature of the problems we face... and arrest those responsible: http://divinecosmos.com/media/Keenan_complaint_11-23-2011_SDNY.pdf Bear in mind that the evidence backing this lawsuit, if made public, will completely expose what has been going on at the highest levels -- by the people themselves, speaking in their own words. This would be the most dramatic public expose' of the group responsible for this Financial Tyranny since the early 1800s -- as you will see. Our initial announcement and confirmation of this lawsuit has already received over 650,000 hits, 34,000 Facebook Likes and 1000 written comments as we publish this final, completed investigation. _ LETHAL CONSEQUENCES This initial announcement also earned me a very serious warning -- from two different insiders working at high levels of government -- that I needed to publish the entire investigation as quickly as possible, or my life could be in imminent danger. The conspirators are desperate to stop the bleeding and save themselves from prosecution. Threats, bribery, blackmail, torture and murder are their standard tools of the trade. As you will see, on December 31st, David Hutlzer publicly conveyed vital information to me for this case, acting directly on behalf of Benjamin Fulford -- the former Asia-Pacific bureau chief for Forbes Magazine, and a leading representative of this international alliance. Ben had David direct me to the "Unwanted Publicity Intelligence" website, which contains extremely sensitive documents. I was astonished when I reviewed this website, considering that I was told it is very dangerous to publish pictures of the Federal Reserve bonds. A week later, on January 6th, David and his eight-year-old son Mackie burned to death in their home. Hardly anything recognizable was left. Accelerants were found outside and arson has not been ruled out. _ Is this a coincidence? Maybe. Out of fear, skeptics will insist there is no connection between these two events. I disagree. Even in light of this blatant threat, I will not be intimidated. This potential murder of a father and son only inspired me to do an even better job with the investigation. You deserve to know the truth. Our future depends on it. THIS IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL NEWS STORY Up until now, the only mainstream media outlet that has dared to report on this intriguingly vast and mysterious case is the Courthouse News Service: _ The "back story" behind this lawsuit is extremely complex. Since November 23rd, 2011, I have worked an average of 14 or more hours a day to produce this report. Furthermore, the core information pertaining to the case itself is cloaked in the deepest secrecy. Much of it must be obtained firsthand -- from people who have to risk their lives to tell the truth. Wherever possible, I have drawn off of provable information. When this was unavailable, I relied as much as possible on "leaked" insider testimony that is already well-established on public record to reveal the story. The works of David Guyatt -- at http://www.deepblacklies.co.uk -- have been uniquely beneficial in this regard. In addition to the above investigative methods, you will also read the world's first exclusive, detailed interview with the two main plaintiffs responsible for filing this lawsuit -- explaining what they are doing and why it is so urgently needed. First, however, we need to break down the lies and reveal the full scope of the problem – relying upon provable facts, documented in the public domain, as much as possible. THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM Since 1913, the currency of the United States has been owned and managed by a private corporation of international bankers known as the "Federal Reserve System." This group prints "Federal Reserve Notes" and loans them out to the United States Treasury. American taxpayers then pay interest to the Federal Reserve banking families for the rights to use their money. The Federal Reserve banking families can therefore print as much money as they want -- and give it to whomever they want, secretly, with no oversight or input from the United States government. _ In this clip, former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan admits that the Federal Reserve is an independent agency whose decisions cannot be overruled by any element of the legitimate United States government. "REPORTER: What is the proper relationship... what should be the proper relationship between a chairman of the Fed and a president of the United States? GREENSPAN: Well, first of all, the Federal Reserve is an independent agency. And that means basically that, uh, there is no other agency of government which can overrule actions that we take. So long as that is in place, and there is no evidence that the administration, the Congress or anybody else is requesting that we do things other than what we think is the appropriate thing, then what the relationships are don't frankly matter. I've had very good relationships with presidents." 26 TRILLION DOLLARS OF FRAUD Thanks to heroic efforts of Congressman Ron Paul, former Congressman Alan Grayson and Congressman Bernie Sanders to audit the Federal Reserve, we now know that the Federal Reserve secretly lent out 26 trillion dollars' worth of American money from 2007 to 2010 -- much of it to foreign banks. Twenty. Six. TRILLION. Dollars. Here is a small part of the letter where Congressman Alan Grayson spells it all out to John Hively, “The World’s Most Accurate Economic Forecaster Since 1989”. http://johnhively.wordpress.com/2011/12/05/breakdown-of-the-26-trillion-the-federal-reserve-handed-out-to-save-rich-incompetent-investors-but-who-purchase-political-power/ CONGRESSMAN GRAYSON: I wouldn’t want anyone to think that I’m dramatizing or amplifying what this GAO report says, so I’m just going to list some of my favorite parts, by page number. Page 131 – The total lending for the Fed’s “broad-based emergency programs” was $16,115,000,000,000. That’s right, more than $16 trillion. The four largest recipients, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch and Bank of America, received more than a trillion dollars each. The 5th largest recipient was Barclays PLC. The 8th was the Royal Bank of Scotland Group, PLC. The 9th was Deutsche Bank AG. The 10th was UBS AG. These four institutions each got between a quarter of a trillion and a trillion dollars. None of them is an American bank. Page 205 – Separate and apart from these “broad-based emergency program” loans were another $10,057,000,000,000 in “currency swaps.” In the “currency swaps,” the Fed handed dollars to foreign central banks, no strings attached, to fund bailouts in other countries…. These currency swaps and the “broad-based emergency program” loans, together, totaled more than $26 trillion. That’s almost $100,000 for every man, woman, and child in America. That’s an amount equal to more than seven years of federal spending — on the military, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, interest on the debt, and everything else. And around twice America’s total GNP…. If the Fed had extended $26 trillion in credit to the American people instead of Wall Street, would there be 24 million Americans today who can’t find a full-time job? TWENTY SIX TRILLION DOLLARS? HOW CAN IT BE POSSIBLE? Does this upset you? Or have you become so numb that you just want to click away and look at hot models – or read about celebrities? “I don’t want to hear this $#!+. My life is bad enough as it is.” 26 Trillion is a gigantic number. Seemingly unimaginable. This is a documented, proven fact. Isn’t it strange that you’ve hardly heard anything about this in the mainstream media? That should be your first clue. Knowledge is power. Instead of feeling sick, angry, paranoid, sad or depressed, be aware that once you know the truth, nothing can stop us. There will be losses. David and Mackie Hutlzer may be two of the most recent ones. However, once a "critical mass" of people possess sensitive information, there is simply no possible way to stop it from spreading. Most people can’t even comprehend such a vast amount of money as 26 Trillion dollars in practical terms – but we’ll get to that. The results of the audit were first published on the morning of July 21, 2011. At first, the most obvious number that jumped out from the report was "only" 16 trillion. You have to add in the ten trillion in “currency swaps” to reach the full 26-trillion-dollar mark. JUST HOW BIG IS IT? Let's stick with the initial figure of 16 trillion for now, as there are very few articles on this subject – and most of them quote that number. This next article from Unelected.org clearly reveals the scope of the outrage: http://www.unelected.org/audit-of-the-federal-reserve-reveals-16-trillion-in-secret-bailouts The results of the first audit in the Federal Reserve’s nearly 100-year history were posted on Senator Sanders’ webpage earlier this morning: http://sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/news/?id=9e2a4ea8-6e73-4be2-a753-62060dcbb3c3 What was revealed in the audit was startling: $16,000,000,000,000.00 had been secretly given out to US banks and corporations, and foreign banks everywhere from France to Scotland. From the period between December 2007 and June 2010, the Federal Reserve secretly bailed out many of the world’s banks, corporations, and governments. The Federal Reserve likes to refer to these secret bailouts as an all-inclusive loan program, but virtually none of the money has been returned -- and it was loaned out at 0% interest. Why the Federal Reserve had never been public about this or even informed the United States Congress about the $16 trillion dollar bailout is obvious. The American public would have been outraged to find out that the Federal Reserve bailed out foreign banks while Americans were struggling to find jobs. PUTTING IT IN PERSPECTIVE So how much could this figure of 16 trillion dollars have done if it were redirected into the United States economy, on behalf of the people -- rather than rewarding the banks and financial institutions who started all this mess in the first place? Let's continue with the article from Unelected.org and find out: http://www.unelected.org/audit-of-the-federal-reserve-reveals-16-trillion-in-secret-bailouts To place $16 trillion into perspective, remember that the GDP of the United States is only $14.12 trillion. The entire national debt of the United States government spanning its 200+ year history is “only” $14.5 trillion. The budget that is being debated so heavily in Congress and the Senate is “only” $3.5 trillion. Take all of the outrage and debate over the $1.5 trillion deficit into consideration, and swallow this Red pill: There was no debate about whether $16,000,000,000,000 would be given to failing banks and failing corporations around the world. In late 2008, the TARP Bailout bill was passed -- and loans of $800 billion were given to failing banks and companies. That was a blatant lie -- considering the fact that Goldman Sachs alone received 814 billion dollars. As it turns out, the Federal Reserve donated $2.5 trillion to Citigroup, while Morgan Stanley received $2.04 trillion. The Royal Bank of Scotland and Deutsche Bank, a German bank, split about a trillion and numerous other banks received hefty chunks of the $16 trillion. IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO COMPREHEND THE DEPTH OF THE FRAUD The initial figure of 16 trillion that jumped out of the Federal Reserve audit is more money than all the goods and services produced by every single person in the United States -- for any given year. It is greater than the entire amount of debt ever racked up by the United States in its 235-year history as well. The 2010 Census estimated there are 114,825,428 households in the US. Sixteen trillion dollars in secret bailouts adds up to 139 thousand and 342 dollars per household. The full figure of 26 trillion adds up to nearly a quarter million dollars per household – $226,430.68 to be exact. When you put it in those terms, the full weight of the theft becomes nothing short of staggering. Imagine if your family had a quarter million dollars saved -- and then someone robbed you. What if the thief then told everyone what he did – but no one cared enough to do anything? That’s what just happened to every single family in the United States of America. Every single adult in the United States who was unemployed or on public assistance could have been given a job – so they can lead a happy, fulfilling and prosperous life – with plenty of money to spare. A vast public works program could easily have been created to stimulate the economy – so that the money would become an investment, not a one-time gift. WHAT COULD WE HAVE DONE? We could have built high-speed bullet trains to make it easier and faster than flying to travel through congested urban areas -- such as the East Coast megalopolis -- and other corridors between nearby cities. We could have restored our archaic, battered fleet of passenger airliners, (which still have ashtrays in the bathrooms,) with all new jets – and bigger, more comfortable seats. (Many flights are delayed or canceled for maintenance. This is a consistent problem when I fly.) We could have restored our crumbling roads and bridges – increasing comfort, safety and gas mileage. We could have transformed the inner cities with massive construction and refurbishing projects, and dramatically improved public transportation – making it easier for people to work. We could have massively upgraded the nation’s fiber-optic capabilities – bringing our Internet access up to speed with most of the rest of the developed world. We could have completely modernized public schools with enough computers for every kid. We could have trained or hired teachers to educate our children in the skills and software needed to be competitive in today’s evolving workforce – including touch typing, word processing, spreadsheet, Photoshop, web design, video editing, motion graphics, computer animation and music sequencing. We could have noticed the enormous popularity of Guitar Hero and RockBand and built sound-proofed music studios in schools, where kids earn lessons and studio time on real musical instruments as an incentive for good grades. If they sign a record deal, a figure such as 25 percent of their advance would be paid back to help finance the school. We could have boldly invested in clean energy technologies to heal the environment – as China is now doing, to the tune of half a trillion dollars. And, as Foster Gamble revealed in his groundbreaking independent film Thrive, we could have ended poverty and environmental destruction for as little as 200 billion dollars a year. Instead of doing any of this, the "one percent" continued to live the lifestyles of the rich and famous -- while the poor sank ever deeper into the Next Great Depression, as economist Paul Krugman recently called it. CONGRESSMAN BERNIE SANDERS STRIPS AWAY THE LIES In early November, Congressman Bernie Sanders revealed that in addition to handing out 16 trillion dollars, (not counting the ten trillion in “currency swaps” Congressman Grayson pointed out), the Federal Reserve also owns the financial agencies they are supposed to be regulating: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rep-bernie-sanders/the-veil-of-secrecy-at-th_b_1072099.html The GAO [audit] also revealed that many of the people who serve as directors of the 12 Federal Reserve Banks come from the exact same financial institutions that the Fed is in charge of regulating. Further, the GAO found that at least 18 current and former Fed board members were affiliated with banks and companies that received emergency loans from the Federal Reserve during the financial crisis. In other words, the people "regulating" the banks were the exact same people who were being "regulated." Talk about the fox guarding the henhouse!... For example, the CEO of JP Morgan Chase served on the New York Fed's board of directors at the same time that his bank received more than $390 billion in financial assistance from the Fed…. Getting this type of disclosure was not easy. Wall Street and the Federal Reserve fought it every step of the way. But, as difficult as it was to lift the veil of secrecy at the Fed, it will be even harder to reform the Fed so that it serves the needs of all Americans, and not just Wall Street. But, that is exactly what we have to do. MAINSTREAM MEDIA ATTEMPTS TO LIE ABOUT THE REAL SIZE OF THE BAILOUTS So far, we’ve seen that the Federal Reserve secretly created 26 trillion dollars, without US government approval. This adds up to nearly a quarter million dollars per household in America. This money was then handed out to financial institutions like Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, the Royal Bank of Scotland and Deutsche Bank. While I was conducting this investigation in mid-December, it felt very surreal to see mainstream media journalists say the entire bailout added up to nothing more than 1.2 trillion dollars. Then they tried to say "this is what a central bank is supposed to do." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/12/23/federal-reserve-emergency-loans_n_1168341.html Add up the emergency loans the Federal Reserve distributed to banks between 2007 and 2009 -- when the American economy lurched closer to collapse than anyone had previously thought possible -- and it's an impressive picture. On Friday, Bloomberg News made available the fullest version yet of its data on Fed emergency lending, a subject the news organization has written about numerous times in the past year. The Bloomberg release includes records of about 50,000 transactions the Fed made through seven different financial mechanisms. At their peak, these seven programs represented $1.2 trillion in loans to banks and financial institutions -- the high-water mark of a massive, systemic bailout whose details the country's central banking authority has not always seemed eager to divulge…. Even as critics have accused the Fed of being less than forthcoming, few people claim that the central bank did the wrong thing by stepping in to backstop a financial system that seemed to be on the verge of imploding. "In the middle of the financial crisis, this is what you need. This is what a central bank is supposed to do," said James Wilcox, a professor at the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley. Wilcox compared the financial crisis to a forest fire -- except, he said, "forest fires are more predictable in the path they're going to take." The Huffington Post featured the genuine figures earlier, as we just saw -- which made this all the stranger. The utterly fake figures of 1.2 trillion and 7.7 trillion were both refuted on December 13th, 2011 by economist L. Randall Wray, who said the actual number is a full-on 29 Trillion dollars. http://www.newsmax.com/StreetTalk/Economist-Fed-Exposure-Trillion/2011/12/13/id/420763 The true total of Federal Reserve emergency lending to Wall Street is not $1.2 trillion, as Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke contends, nor the $7.7 trillion figure reported by Bloomberg News, which Bernanke publicly contests. The real number, argues economist L. Randall Wray, is a staggering $29 trillion. Wray writes that Bernanke’s recent defense of the lower figure is “misleading” and that the chairman’s claim that Fed bailouts do not constitute a form of spending is plain wrong. WAS THE 26-TO-29 TRILLION DOLLARS ENOUGH TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM? There is simply no justifiable explanation for why this much money was needed. It had nothing to do with securing the assets of ordinary Americans, as we will see. However, let’s ask this question first: Was this enough money to rescue these institutions and restore them to full health? Or, did it merely keep them on life support a little longer? THEY ARE IN WAY OVER THEIR HEADS The answer is shocking. The 26 trillion dollars was nothing more than a sudden gasp of air for companies that are still drowning in debt. Thanks to deregulation, such as the repeal of the Glass-Steagall act, these institutions were allowed to hold one dollar in the bank, but then spend like they had 5, 10, 30 or even 100 dollars. To put it in perspective, if you had ten thousand dollars in your checking account, you would suddenly become a millionaire if you could leverage it at the “100X” point in one single “trade” These financial institutions have manipulated and abused this system to do casino gambling, on a global scale -- to the tune of hundreds of trillions of dollars. It’s a very complex discussion, but when you see the term “derivatives”, this is what it means. THE 600-TRILLION-DOLLAR TIME BOMB Incredibly, just four financial institutions have gambled 600 trillion dollars’ worth of money they don’t even have – so this bailout was still not even close to being enough to protect them. Even if they had all the money in the world at their disposal, they’d still need ten times more to bail themselves out: http://moneymorning.com/2011/10/12/derivatives-the-600-trillion-time-bomb-thats-set-to-explode/ In 2009, five banks held 80% of derivatives in America. Now, just four banks hold a staggering 95.9% of U.S. derivatives, according to a recent report from the Office of the Currency Comptroller. The four banks in question: JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM), Citigroup Inc. (NYSE: C), Bank of America Corp. (NYSE: BAC) and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE: GS). Derivatives played a crucial role in bringing down the global economy [in 2008], so you would think that the world's top policymakers would have reined these things in by now -- but they haven't. Instead of attacking the problem, regulators have let it spiral out of control, and the result is a $600 trillion time bomb called the derivatives market…. The world's gross domestic product (GDP) is only about $65 trillion, or roughly 10.83% of the worldwide value of the global derivatives market, according to The Economist. So there is literally not enough money on the planet to backstop the banks trading these things if they run into trouble. IT’S EASY TO BACK UP THE SAVINGS OF AVERAGE AMERICANS I personally do not think it is a bad thing to let these companies fail. I fight back with facts – and think for myself instead. The real money of ordinary people holding accounts in those banks could have been protected for much less than the cost of even the first public TARP bailout. Just to prove the point, let’s go to billshrink.com and get some provable statistics: http://www.billshrink.com/blog/10053/how-much-do-american-save/ The average American household income was 50,000 dollars in 2010. The overall tax rate is 19 percent, leaving $40,500 in disposable income. Overall, Americans spend an incredible 94 percent of their disposable income. The remaining 6 percent is saved in the bank. This adds up to a mere $2,400 dollars per household. This is not a guess, but a provable statistic. With 114,825,428 households in the US, it would only take one payment of 275 billion, 581 million dollars to guarantee the savings of all American citizens. The Fed’s secret bailout of 26 trillion dollars was nearly 100 times greater than that. WHAT ABOUT THE STOCK MARKET? Obviously the money being held in the stock market is a lot more than 275 billion dollars – but how much is there, exactly? We know this figure. All you have to do is add up the value of all the companies on the New York Stock Exchange. This is called “total market capitalization” or the “Total Market Index.” As of this writing, it is just over 13 trillion dollars: http://www.gurufocus.com/stock-market-valuations.php As of today (12/24/11), the Total Market Index is at $ 13,197.2 billion, which is about 88% of the last reported GDP. This means that even if every single company in the world were to completely stop doing business -- abandoning their offices, factories, equipment and services – we could still guarantee every stock on Earth for half the cost of the $26 trillion dollars in interest-free ‘bailout’ loans handed out by the Fed. Obviously, the offices, factories, equipment, inventory and 95% of the employees could still be used after breaking up these monopolies and arresting the top conspirators. Without the toxic profit losses due to such incredible theft, these companies would probably thrive like never before. The idea that any company’s entire value to its shareholders would simply disappear in the face of a breakup is completely illogical. Stocks always go down and up, down and up. That’s what they do. People will always need things. There will always be buying and selling. HOW FAR DOWN DOES THE RABBIT HOLE GO? Again, the Federal Reserve is a private corporation that prints money for the United States. The US then pays interest for the rights to use these “Federal Reserve Notes.” The Federal Reserve secretly handed out 26 trillion dollars in bailout money between 2007 and 2010. The top four bailed-out banks are now doing 95.9 percent of all the gambling. Their total risk adds up to 600 trillion dollars – ten times more than all the money in the world. At this point, it may seem that all we have to do is dismantle the Federal Reserve, let the US Treasury print its own money, back up everyone’s bank accounts for 275 billion dollars, and then allow a handful of “too big to fail” financial institutions to collapse -- and be restructured in smaller pieces. However, we now have scientific proof that this problem goes much deeper than just the Federal Reserve and a few of their closest banking buddies. Instead, the Federal Reserve appears to be at the epicenter of a vast “interlocking directorate” of companies that may earn up to 80 percent of all the world’s wealth. This, of course, makes it a lot more complicated to clean things up – but I do still believe it can be done, or else I wouldn’t have conducted this investigation. USING SUPER-COMPUTERS TO PROVE THE FED RUNS THE WORLD Ever since Benoit Mandelbrot discovered “fractals” in the 1970s, the fascinating new science of Chaos Theory has become a part of our collective knowledge base. Mandelbrot discovered a remarkable “geometry of nature” – in which highly complex systems can be reduced down to a few very simple ingredients. _ What if we use this same science to “hack” the world’s economy with super-computers – and see how many corporations actually control it? Three scientists from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, led by James Glattfelder, recently did this – and their results were published in New Scientist, a respected science magazine. Glattfelder’s team unleashed a vast armada of supercomputers on Orbis 2007 -- a very elaborate database of the top 37 million corporations and individual investors worldwide. The results were absolutely stunning. A CORE OF 1,318 COMPANIES EARN 80 PERCENT OF THE WORLD’S WEALTH The Swiss scientists quickly found a total of 43,060 trans-national corporations in the Orbis 2007 database. From this group, Glattfelder’s team revealed that a ‘core’ of 1,318 companies directly controlled 20 percent of the world’s wealth. However, these corporations also appeared to own and control the stock in a majority of the world’s largest companies -- whose profits added up to an additional 60 percent of global revenues: http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21228354.500-revealed--the-capitalist-network-that-runs-the-world.html Although they represented 20 per cent of global operating revenues, the 1318 [corporations] appeared to collectively own, through their shares, the majority of the world's large blue chip and manufacturing firms -- the "real" economy -- representing a further 60 per cent of global revenues…. [This] core of 1318 companies [had] interlocking ownerships. Each of the 1318 had ties to two or more other companies, and on average they were connected to 20 [other corporations]. A “SUPER-ENTITY” OF 147 CORPORATIONS CONTROL 40 PERCENT OF THE WEALTH If that isn’t surprising enough for you, then how about this? Glattfelder’s team then crunched the numbers even harder – and found a very deeply hidden “super-entity” of only 147 corporations – and “much of it” was connected to the 1,318-company ‘core’. These 147 companies were all interconnected with each other in an “even more tightly knit” pattern than the 1,318 corporations in the ‘core’. To put it simply, they all owned each other’s companies. [Specifically, each company within the “super-entity” owned shares in all 146 others.] Together, this super-elite, good-old-boys-club of 147 companies directly earns a whopping 40 percent of all the wealth in the world: http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21228354.500-revealed--the-capitalist-network-that-runs-the-world.html When the team further untangled the web of ownership, it found much of it tracked back to a "super-entity" of 147 even more tightly knit companies -- all of their ownership was held by other members of the super-entity -- that controlled 40 per cent of the total wealth in the network. Without the advanced technology of supercomputers and chaos theory, no one would have been able to discover this. History has caught up to the Powers that Were. THE SAME PEOPLE RUN THE FEDERAL RESERVE Next question: What kind of companies do you think these top 147 corporations are? Remember – they control a staggering 40 percent of the world’s wealth. As it says on page 6 of the paper, 75 percent of the corporations within the “super-entity” were financial institutions. The top 20 financial institutions within the “super-entity” should sound pretty familiar to you by now. They include Barclays Bank, JP Morgan Chase & Co., Merrill Lynch, UBS, Bank of New York, Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs. THE SCIENTISTS DIDN’T WANT TO STICK THEIR NECKS OUT To be fair, these scientists did say this could all be due to the magic of Chaos theory. They said this could all be a “logical phase” of the “self-organizing” nature of complex systems – such as the global economy: http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21228354.500-revealed--the-capitalist-network-that-runs-the-world.html "Such structures are common in nature," says Sugihara…. Or as Braha puts it: "The Occupy Wall Street claim that 1 per cent of people have most of the wealth reflects a logical phase of the self-organising economy." So, the super-entity may not result from conspiracy. The real question, says the Zurich team, is whether it can exert concerted political power. Driffill feels 147 is too many to sustain collusion. Braha suspects they will compete in the market but act together on common interests…. "It's disconcerting to see how connected things really are," agrees George Sugihara of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California, a complex systems expert who has advised Deutsche Bank. THE END OF THE PAPER IS WORDED MORE BOLDLY You never waste words when you write up a scientific paper after years’ worth of hard work. Bearing that in mind, read the last paragraph of the actual paper itself: http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/1107/1107.5728v2.pdf This is the first time a ranking of economic actors by global control is presented. Notice that many actors belong to the financial sector… and many of the names are well-known global players…. This means that they do not carry out their business in isolation but, on the contrary, they are tied together in an extremely entangled web of control. This finding is extremely important since there was no prior economic theory or empirical evidence regarding whether and how top players are connected. Finally, it should be noted that governments and natural persons are only featured further down in the list. Then add this line in from the second-to-last paragraph of the first part of the paper, on page 8: Our results show that, globally, top holders are at least in the position to exert considerable control, either formally (e.g., voting in shareholder and board meetings) or via informal negotiations. “Informal negotiations” would be one way to describe the Federal Reserve System secretly handing 26 trillion dollars to the “top holders” within the “super-entity” of 147 corporations. THIS MAY NOT BE A “NATURAL SELF-ORGANIZING EFFECT” AT ALL Remember what we learned from Congressman Bernie Sanders after they audited the Federal Reserve? The directors and board members of the 12 Federal Reserve banks are also running the top financial institutions. They just printed 26 trillion dollars of American money and gave it to themselves. There’s nothing “natural” about this at all. Our next task is to “follow the money” – and see if we can find out what corporations and industries are owned, either publicly or in secret, by the Federal Reserve “super-entity”. (Glattfelder’s team has not yet published the full list.) It’s not that hard to do. If 80 percent of all the world’s profits are going to the Federal Reserve “super-entity”, then they would need to control many of the most profitable industries. As Glattfelder’s team already said, this entity controls “the majority of the world’s large blue chip and manufacturing firms.” In case you are unfamiliar with the term “blue chip,” it refers to any large company that consistently draws profits. The Dow Jones Industrial Average tracks the top 30 “blue chip” companies. WHAT ARE THE MOST PROFITABLE INDUSTRIES TO BE IN? I was able to find a Fortune 500 listing of the most profitable industries, by percentage, for 2008 – but nothing more recent. (If you can find it, let me know.) This list only applies to American companies, but it is still very relevant. Here’s how it looks: http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune500/2009/performers/industries/profits/ The Number One industry on the list is Network and Other Communications Equipment, earning a 20.4 percent profit margin. Number Two on the list is Internet Services and Retailing, at 19.4 percent. Financial Data Services do not appear until sixth place – at 11.7 percent. Pharmaceuticals squeak into third place at a 19.3 percent margin. However, this is misleading – because the overall healthcare / pharmaceutical industry is broken up into fully seven different categories: Pharmaceuticals – 19.3%. Medical Products and Equipment – 16.3%. Insurance: Life, Health (stock) – 4.6%. Health Care: Pharmacy and Other Services – 3.0%. Health Care: Medical Facilities – 2.4%. Health Care: Insurance and Managed Care – 2.2%. Wholesalers: Health Care – 1.3%. There are only 43 industries on the Fortune 500 list that actually generated profits – and seven of them are healthcare. Healthcare therefore accounts for 16.28% of all the money-making industries on the Fortune 500 list. Nothing else captures that many different categories. WHAT ABOUT THE OIL COMPANIES? The second most-profitable American industry, based on the number of categories it has on the list and how high of a percentage they make, is the petroleum and energy business – which controls six out of 43 spots: http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune500/2009/performers/industries/profits/ Mining, Crude Oil production – 11.5 percent. Oil and Gas Equipment, Services – 10.2 percent. Utilities: Gas and Electric – 8.7 percent. Petroleum Refining –2.1 percent. Pipelines – 1.5 percent. Energy – 0.9 percent. The oil companies therefore enjoyed 13.95% of all the most profitable categories of American businesses in 2008. Together, oil and pharmaceuticals occupy 13 out of 43 slots on the Fortune 500 list of the most profitable American industries – or a stunning 30.23 percent of all the money there is to be made. THE OIL COMPANIES ARE THE MOST PROFITABLE INDIVIDUAL BUSINESSES Remember – the above figures only tell us how strong of a profit each of these industries is making. If you invested in an industry that was making 20 percent profit per year, you’d be very happy. This doesn’t actually tell us how much money they are pulling in. If you had a company that cost ten dollars to run, and you made twelve dollars a year, you’d still be making a 20 percent profit. In order to figure out how much actual money is being made, you have to look at individual businesses. Here is a link to the Fortune 500 list of the 50 most profitable American businesses in 2010: http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune500/2011/performers/companies/profits/ The single most profitable American corporation in 2010 was Exxon Mobil -- earning 30 billion, 460 million dollars. Chevron comes in behind AT&T to take third place at 19 billion, 24 million dollars. ConocoPhillips was #16 at 11 billion, 358 million. Devon Energy and Occidental Petroleum both made 4.5 billion. Add it all together and you get 69 billion, 842 million dollars in oil profits for 2010 alone – basically 70 billion – and that’s only the oil companies in America’s top 50. INTERNATIONAL LISTINGS CHANGE THE PICTURE The Fortune 500 list only applies to American industries. You have to go international to include the non-American “supermajor” oil companies – namely BP, Royal Dutch Shell and Total S.A. – each of which are also very substantial – in addition to the American-based Chevron, ExxonMobil and ConocoPhillips. The full international list with all these companies included is called the Forbes Global 2000. This gives us a better overall sense of what’s going on in the world – but it still only tracks companies that have to publicly report their earnings. Eight out of the top 20 largest international companies are banks: JP Morgan Chase, HSBC (UK), ICBC (China), Citigroup, BNP Paribas (France), Wells Fargo, Banco Santander (Spain) and China Construction Bank. That’s a total of 40 percent. Seven of the top 20 public international companies are oil and gas: Exxon Mobil, Royal Dutch Shell, Petro China, Petrobras, Gazprom, Chevron and Total. That’s 35 percent. So, fifteen out of the top 20 companies on the Forbes 2000 list – seventy-five percent – are either banking or oil. That leaves only five slots left in the top 20. Let's also not forget that the Forbes 2000 list only applies to publicly-traded companies. LET’S LOOK AT THE PHARMACEUTICALS Let’s go back to the Fortune 500 list of the top American corporations for a minute. Fully nine out of the top 50 most profitable Fortune 500 companies in 2010 were pharmaceuticals – and they add up to a total of 64 billion, 924.6 million dollars in profits. These are only the most obvious, verifiable pharmaceutical / healthcare companies on the list, and only those that appear in the top 50 of the Fortune 500 list: http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune500/2011/performers/companies/profits/ Johnson and Johnson weighs in at ninth place with 13 billion, 334 million. 10th place is Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway, with 12 billion, 967 million. Then, Procter & Gamble comes in right behind them for 12th place at 12 billion, 736 million. Pfizer shows up at number 21 with 8 billion, 257 million. Eli Lilly is in 29th place with 5 billion, 69.5 million. UnitedHealth Group comes in at 32nd place with 4 billion, 634 million. Amgen is right behind them at the 33rd slot with 4 billion, 627 million. United Technologies appears at 37th place with 4 billion, 373 million. Then lastly we see CVS Caremark at 47th place with 3 billion, 427 million. Again – nine out of all 50 of the top Fortune 500 companies are pharmaceuticals. These companies alone pulled in almost 65 billion dollars in profits for 2010, close behind the 70 billion made in oil money. Pharmaceuticals do not jump out this much on the Forbes Global 2000 list. The only pharmaceutical company in the top 20 is Berkshire Hathaway at #8, which is technically a conglomerate that has holdings in other industries as well. DON'T FORGET THE UNITED STATES DEFENSE BUDGET The total combined income for oil and pharmaceuticals in the top 50 slots of the Fortune 500 list is 70 billion plus 65 billion -- or 135 billion in total. The United States Department of Defense handed out 721.3 billion dollars in Fiscal Year 2011 alone. This does not include 20.9 billion for Atomic Energy Defense activities, nor 124.5 billion in veterans' benefits, nor 10.1 billion in foreign military aid, nor 44.1 billion in foreign economic aid, nor 7.5 billion in defense-related activities. There are supposedly over 330,000 defense contractors receiving this income. The top 100 defense contractors in 2010 only earned about $129.48 billion, based on a rough, approximate calculation -- out of a total Department of Defense expenditure of 692 billion for that year. That still leaves 562.5 billion dollars unaccounted for. The top five defense contractors for 2010 were Lockheed Martin at 16.7 billion, Northrop Grumman at 11.1 billion, Boeing at 10.4 billion, Raytheon at 6.7 billion and SAIC at 4.7 billion. In order for the 'core' of 1,318 companies to be earning 80 percent of the world's wealth, it would be absolutely essential for them to profit from this enormous defense budget. There's nothing else like it in the world. Based on the new findings of the Swiss scientists, many of these defense contractors may be part of a single mega-conglomerate working behind the scenes. A DIRECT CONNECTION TO THE FEDERAL RESERVE To review, 80 percent of the world’s profits are being earned by a ‘core’ group of 1,318 corporations. As we look even deeper, we find this ‘core’ is mostly run by a “super-entity” of 147 companies that are totally interlocked. 75 percent of them are financial institutions. The top 20 companies in the “super-entity” include Barclays Bank, JP Morgan Chase & Co., Merrill Lynch, UBS, Bank of New York, Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs. Many key Federal Reserve personnel work for these companies – and they secretly handed themselves trillions of dollars in free money between 2007 and 2010. The 147-part “super-entity” has controlling interest in the 1318-part “core”, which in turn has controlling interest in 80 percent of the world’s wealth. It would be utterly essential for the Federal Reserve corporations, and their beneficiaries, to be heavily invested into oil and pharmaceuticals in order to earn such a tremendous percentage. Is there any proof that the Federal Reserve elites are, indeed, invested in these and other top businesses? Absolutely. Let’s now do some historical research on the top two Federal Reserve names we always read about – the Rockefellers and Rothschilds – and see what we find. ROCKEFELLER’S STANDARD OIL COMPANY John D. Rockefeller, one of the top architects who founded and bankrolled the Federal Reserve System, also owned and ran Standard Oil Company, beginning in 1870. He soon became America’s first billionaire. Rockefeller’s spectacular oil profits ultimately allowed him to be in a position to essentially buy the United States government -- and its ability to print money – via the Federal Reserve.
