Real Currencies – by In the autumn of 2011 an already legendary study by a number of Swiss scientists revealed that a small number of banks controlled a decisive stake in the globe’s economy. The idea that the banks are a cartel and that this cartel controls the economy is now a scientifically quantified matter of record.
The study, called ‘the Network of Global Corporate Control’ was done by Stefania Vitali, James B. Glattfelder, and Stefano Battiston, in Zurich, Switzerland. The method was datamining the Orbis Marketing Database 2007, with data on more than 30 million economic actors (companies and investors) worldwide, including asset positions.
The study was published in the New Scientist, a highly respected outlet of mainstream science.
The results were interesting, although basically predictable.
Massive centralization
It transpires that there are about 43,000 companies that are Transnational according to the OECD definition.
There is a top 1,318 of them that seem to be at the center of it all. This core group has three important characteristics.
1. Between them, they generated 20% of the world’s income.
2. They own each other.
The Orbis database clearly showed that most shares of these corporations were owned by other members of the group of 1,318. This means that the biggest, most profitable and influential corporations in the world all own each other and are basically one massive cartel, or even monopoly. They are competing only nominally. Competition is sin.
3. The core owns all the other biggest 43,000 Transnational corporations.
These companies generate another 60% of the entire world’s income. So not only is the top of the business world one major cartel, it controls or outright owns all of its lesser brethren, confirming the idea of one incredible monopoly owning the entire world.
Besides these three issues with the core of 1,318, there are two more shocking observations:
4. 80% of the total control was in the hands of an even smaller group of 737 corporations.
5. And last but not least: at the very top, only 147 corporations directly control 40% of the total wealth.
Conclusion
See the top 50 of this list below the article.
As you can see from that list, they are all banks or other financial institutions.
So no, it’s not a hyperbole to say the Banking System is One. We’re not overstating the case when we say it’s just one massive cartel. That the banks own everything, including all the major industries. Oil, Weapons, Pharmaceuticals, Food, Telecom and IT, etc. It’s all one massive monopoly. Controlled from the top down.
The Money Power is real and these Swiss gentlemen have done us a favor by crunching the numbers.
Questions remain. How do the CAFR’s of US Governmental pension funds and the like fit in this picture? How are the companies controlled if they all own each other?
However, the last few years we have seen conspiracy theory getting validated more and more everyday. People are still surprised, but that is only because they don’t understand human nature. People conspire to do just about everything. It would have been really surprising had there not been a conspiracy to rule the world.

And here’s a list of the banks that are NOT owned by Jews:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Hypothetical question…
If we raid all the banks, and seize all their crap. Then have a census, (Counting HEADS ONLY) and then divide every thing seized up equally among the people. Outlaw big banks going forward, so so much leverage can not be placed upon the backs of others EVER AGAIN.
Or is this thought just as bad as socialism?
I am thinking more along the lines of a “fair penalty”
I would have all the FSA’s (free **** army) behind me for sure. But what else is there to do but BALANCE the books. Mark to Market. Nullify the debt, kick these elite foreigners who care less about our constitution or rule of law and feed on the people out. Restore the regulation of the monetary system to GUS. Or give them inmate numbers at Ft Leavenworth.
This looks like the same list that own the IRS and the Federal Reserve.
You forgot to mention the revolving door between corporations such as Goldman Sachs and our government. For many years now, the executive branch has been composed of nothing but members of US corporations.
