Swiss study shows that 147 large corporations (mainly banks) rule our world.

The Swiss Federal Institute (SFI) in Zurich released a study entitled “The Network of Global Corporate Control” that proves a small consortiums of corporations – mainly banks – run the world. A mere 147 corporations which form a “super entity” have control of 40% of the world’s wealth; which is the real economy. These mega-corporations are at the center of the global economy. Among them are: • Barclays • Goldman Sachs • JPMorgan Chase & Co • Vanguard Group • UBS • Deutsche Bank • Bank of New York Melon Corp • Morgan Stanley• Bank of America Corp • Société Générale.

----------------------------------

However as the connections to the controlling groups are networked throughout the world, they become the catalyst for global financial collapse. James Glattfelder, complex systems theorist at the SFI explains: “In effect, less than one per cent of the companies were able to control 40 per cent of the entire network.” Yet because of the facts presented in the study, the financial crash of 2008 can be traced back to these tightly-knit networks. Future disasters can also be projected based on this analysis because of the “connectedness” of these influential entities which are only 147 corporations.

------------------------------

As the banking cartels force countries in the EuroZone into sovereign debt, there is a weakening of the many multi-national corporations around the world. Wells Fargo and JPMorgan Chase have financially gained while stocks are being unloaded in other markets.............The European Central Bankers agreed to give any nation in the Euro-Zone a bailout if they agreed to hand over the country to them under the guise of “new rules and conditions when applying for assistance.” [Aren't they ambitious, though?]

-------------------------

As America drifts downstream toward economic implosion, the Federal Reserve headed by Ben Bernanke has chosen a different approach. They unveiled QE3 last week as a pump and dump scheme to prop up the US dollar by printing cash that is backed by nothing, while purchasing the mortgage-backed securities from the same banks that created the scandal and acquiring land in a massive land-grab; the likes of which have never been seen in the US. Simultaneously, the BRICs nations (Brazil, Russia, India and China) are buying gold to back their fiat currencies to avoid being caught up in the destruction of the technocrats as they march toward one world currency. BRICs have become the anti-thesis to the banking cartels of the Zionist regime..............................
Over 180 countries have signed onto the BRICs agreement as evidenced in their declaration. While the global Elite still hold power over the G5 countries, the rest of the world is standing up, severing their ties and making plans for a new world without them.

I must say that while there is quite a bit that I don't understand and leave it up to you economics people, the overall tone of
this article is frightfully depressing to me. Have we been really divided into two totally opposed and inimical camps? Where are we being led to by these screwball sociopaths? And, are they really unstoppable?

Clinton doesn't see it that way, does she? And the Hillary fans here don't see it either.

2. We're being led to a civil race war.

As the bloodiest type of conflict (ethnic genocide and a civil war combined) in the most resourceful nation on earth that every other nation needs to stay in one piece, the bankers and their pet arms dealers can supply both sides for a very, very long time...buoyed by international money as well since they will all try to control the final outcome.

It'll make a killing. As much as a World War, and only requires a continent or two of white people. Just turn on your tv, you can watch it start with the surrender of Hamburg here recently. They...DID show the surrender of Hamburg, right?

Anyway, once that is finalized and the world is equally destitute and miserable, then we'll be 'equal' (equal in our desire for someone, anyone, to end the madness...which the elite will be happy to do, sealing permanent control of the globe. Yay progress, neoliberal style.) Of course, there's a big problem in that outline of a plan. It's predicated on the power of fourth generational warfare...which is only useful so long as someone doesn't decide it's time to revert to third (read: the Eastern Hemisphere).

time before they self-destruct. Remember, these are sociopaths. Their greed and
ambition can never be satisfied. Each and every one of them wants to be the
Numero Uno and have it all. So, they can't help but war again among themselves.
There will be nothing left for any one of them to have.
