Who rules the world?

Who rules the world?


There is a shadowy group of obscenely wealthy elitists who control the world? Men and women with huge amounts of money really rule the world from behind the scenes? The answer may surprise you. Most of us tend to think of money as a convenient way to make transactions, but the truth is that it is also the power and control. And today we live in a neo-feudal system in which the super-rich pulling all the strings.

When I speak of the ultra-rich, do not talk to people who have a few million dollars. As you will see later in this article, the ultra-rich have enough money deposited in offshore banks, to buy all the goods and services produced in the United States in the course of an entire year and still be able to pay all the national debt the United States. It 'a sum of money so large as to be almost inconceivable.

According to this neo-feudal system, all the rest of us debt slaves, including our governments. Just look around - all are drowning in debt, and all that debt is making the ultra-rich even richer. But the ultra-rich are not just sitting on his wealth. We use a part to dominate the affairs of nations. The ultra-rich have virtually every major bank and every major company on the planet. They use a wide network of secret societies, think tanks and charitable organizations to promote their agendas and to keep their members in line.

Control the way in which we see the world through their ownership in the media and their dominion over our education system. They fund the campaigns of most of our politicians and exercise enormous influence on international organizations like the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the WTO. If you step back and look at the big picture, there's no doubt about who runs the world. It 's just that most people do not want to admit the truth.

The ultra-rich are not going to deposit their money in a local bank like you and me. On the contrary, they tend to place their activities in places where they will not be taxed, as the Cayman Islands. According to a report that was released last summer, the global elite has more than 32 trillion dollars hidden in offshore banks in the world.

The GDP of the United States in 2011 was about 15,000 billion dollars, and the national debt of the United States has reached about 16,000 billion dollars, so that even if sommaste them together would not reach 32 trillion dollars.


And, of course, we're not even considering the money hidden in other places that the study did not calculate, nor all the wealth that the global elite has solid assets such as real estate, precious metals, works of art, yacht, etc

The global elite has really amassed an incredible amount of wealth in these difficult times. We read an article in the Huffington Post ...

Some wealthy individuals and their families have more than 32 trillion dollars of funds hidden in tax havens offshore, representing more than 280 billion dollars of loss in tax revenue, according to research published on Monday.

The study estimates the extent of global private financial wealth held in offshore accounts - excluding non-financial assets, such as real estate, gold, yachts and racehorses - and believes that it is between 21 and 32 billion dollars.

The research was conducted under the pressure group Tax Justice Network, which campaigns against tax havens, by James Henry, former chief economist of the consulting group McKinsey & Co.

He used data from the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, United Nations and central banks.

But, as I said earlier, the global elite simply do not have a lot of money. He also bought practically every major bank and every major company around the world.

According to an excellent article in the NewScientist, a study conducted by ETH Zurich on over 40,000 transnational corporations has found that a very small core of large banks and massive looting companies dominate the entire world economic system ...

An analysis of the relationships between 43,000 transnational corporations has identified a relatively small group of companies, mainly banks, with disproportionate power over the global economy.

The researchers found that this core group is made up of only 147 companies very closely linked ...

When the team further examined the properties of the network, found that largely went back to a "super-entity" of 147 even more tightly linked companies - all of their ownership was held by other members of the super-entity - that control the 40 per cent of the total wealth in the network. "In effect, less than 1 per cent of firms are able to control 40 per cent of the entire network," says Glattfelder. For the most part, these financial institutions. Among the top 20 are Barclays Bank, JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Goldman Sachs Group.

The following are the top 25 banks and companies in the heart of this "super-entity". Many of the names on the list are known ...

1 Barclays plc
2 Capital Group Companies Inc
3 FMR Corporation
4. AXA
5 State Street Corporation
6 JP Morgan Chase & Co
7 Legal & General Group plc
8 Vanguard Group Inc
9 UBS AG
10 Merrill Lynch & Co Inc
11 Wellington Management Co LLP
12 Deutsche Bank AG
13 Franklin Resources Inc
14 Credit Suisse Group
15 Walton Enterprises LLC
16 Bank of New York Mellon Corp
17 Natixis
18 Goldman Sachs Group Inc
19 T Rowe Price Group Inc
20 Legg Mason Inc
21 Morgan Stanley
22 Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc
23 Northern Trust Corporation
24 Société Générale
25 Bank of America Corporation

The ultra-rich elite often hidden behind layers and layers of ownership, but the truth is that thanks to an interlocking business relationships, the elite controls nearly all the Fortune 500 companies.

The amount of power and control that this gives them is hard to describe.

Unfortunately, this same group of people running things for a long time. For example, the New York City Mayor John F. Hylan stated the following during a speech he gave back in 1922 ...

The real threat to our Republic is the invisible government which like a giant octopus extends its slimy tentacles over our cities, states and nations. Doing simple generalizations, let me say that at the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller-Standard Oil and a small group of powerful banking institutions generally referred to as international bankers. The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually runs the United States government for their own selfish purposes.

Practically control both parties, write political platforms, using puppets as party leaders, use the leaders of private organizations, and resort to every means to put in nomination for high public office only those candidates who will subject to the dictates of the great corrupt enterprises.

These international bankers and Rockefeller-Standard Oil possess the majority of newspapers and magazines in this country. They use the columns of these journals to subjugate or drive out of public office officials who refuse to do the bidding of the powerful corrupt cliques which compose the invisible government. They operate under the cover of a screen created by themselves [and] seize our executives, legislative bodies, schools, courts, newspapers and every agency created for the public safety.

These international bankers have created central banks around the world (including the Federal Reserve), and the central banks use to trap the governments of the world in endless cycles of debt from which there is no escape. The public debt is a way to take money from us all "legitimate", transfer to the government, and then transfer them into the pockets of the ultra-rich.

Today, Barack Obama, and nearly all members of Congress absolutely refuse to criticize the Fed, but in the past there have been some brave members of Congress who have been able to take a stand. For example, the following quote comes from a speech that Congressman Louis T. McFadden was held in the House of Representatives June 10, 1932 ...

Mr. Chairman, we have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Banks. The Federal Reserve Board, a government commission, has cheated the Government of the United States and the people of the United States by such an amount of money that would be enough to pay off the national debt. The depredations and the iniquities of the Federal Reserve Board has cost this country enough money to pay the national debt several times. This evil institution has impoverished and ruined the people of the United States, fell into bankruptcy, and sent practically bankrupted our Government. He did this through the defects of the law under which it operates, through the maladministration of that law by the Federal Reserve Board, and through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control it.

Unfortunately, most Americans still believe that the Federal Reserve is a '"federal agency," but absolutely not the case. The following quote is from the website factcheck.org ...

The shareholders of the 12 regional Federal Reserve banks are private banks within the Federal Reserve System. These include all national banks (protected by the federal government) and the state-owned banks that want to join and meet certain requirements. About 38 percent of the more than 8,000 national banks are members of the system, and then have the FED banks.

According to the researchers who have examined the properties of the big Wall Street banks that dominate the Fed, the same names appear over and over again: the Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, the Warburgs, the Lazard, the Schiffs and the royal families of Europe.

But the ultra-wealthy international bankers have not done this kind of thing only in the United States. Their goal was to create a global financial system dominated and controlled by them. Just read what the professor of history at Georgetown University Carroll Quigley wrote once ...

The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudal system by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements agreed in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations.

Unfortunately, most Americans have never even heard of the Bank for International Settlements, which is at the center of the global financial system. Here is a quote from Wikipedia ...



As an organization of central banks, the BIS seeks to make monetary policy more predictable and transparent among its 58 member central banks. When monetary policy is determined by each sovereign nation, it is not subject to the control of central banks and private and potentially to speculation that affects the exchange rates and especially the fate of export economies. The lack of maintenance of monetary policy in line with reality and monetary reforms in time, fixed as a policy simultaneously all 58 member banks, with the participation of the International Monetary Fund, historically, has led to losses in the billions as banks try to maintain a policy using open market methods that have proven to be based on unrealistic assumptions.

The ultra-rich have also played an important role in the creation of other major international institutions like the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the WTO. In fact, the land for the UN headquarters in New York City was purchased and donated by John D. Rockefeller.

The international bankers are "internationalists" and I'm very proud of it.

The elite also dominates the education system in the United States. Over the years, the Rockefeller Foundation and other elite organizations have poured huge amounts of money in the schools of the Ivy League. Today, the Ivy League schools are considered to be the standard against which we measure all other universities in America, and the last four presidents of the United States were educated in the schools of the Ivy League.

The elite exerts enormous influence through various secret societies (Skull and Bones, Freemasonry, etc), some very powerful think tank and social centers (the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderberg Group, the Bohemian Grove, Chatham House, etc.), and through an extensive network of charities and non-governmental organizations (the Rockefeller Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the World Wildlife Fund, etc.).

But for a moment, I want to focus on the power that the elite has on average. In a previous article, I described the way in which only six monolithic corporate giants control most of what we watch, hear and read every day. These companies have huge television networks, cable channels, movie studios, newspapers, magazines, publishing houses, music labels and even many of our favorite websites.

Considering the fact that the average American watch 153 hours of television per month, the influence of these six giant corporations should not be underestimated. The following are just some of the media companies owned by these giant corporations ...

And, of course, the elite also owns the majority of our politicians. The following is a quote from the journalist Lewis Lapham ...

"The formation of the will of Congress and the choice of the American president has become a privilege reserved for the country's equestrian classes, aka 20% of the population owns 93% of the wealth, the happy few who run businesses and banks, have and manage the news and entertainment media, they write the laws and govern the universities, control the philanthropic foundations, policy institutes, casinos and sports arenas. "

Have you ever wondered why things never seem to change in Washington DC, no matter who we vote?

Well, it's because both sides are the property of the establishment.

It would be nice to think that Americans have control over who runs things in the United States, but that's not how it works in the real world.

In the real world, the politician who collects the most money more than 80 times out of a hundred wins in competitions at national level.

Our politicians are not stupid - they will be very good with people who can give them huge amounts of money they need for their campaigns. And the people who can do that are the ultra-rich and the giant corporations that control the ultra-rich.

Start to make you a picture?

There is a reason why the ultra-rich are called "the establishment". They have created a system that benefits them a lot and that allows them to pull the strings.

So, who runs the world?

They do them. To tell the truth even admit it.

David Rockefeller wrote the following in his 2003 book titled "Memories" ...

"For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have taken advantage of well-publicized events such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the undue influence that according to their exercise on the American political and economic institutions. Some belief that we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, call me and my family as 'internationalists' and accuse us of conspiring with others around the world to build a structure more integrated global political and economic - one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it. "

There is much more that could be said about all this. In fact, an entire library of books could be written about the power and influence of the ultra-wealthy international bankers who rule the world.
But we hope that this is enough to at least start a discussion.

So, what do you think of all this? Do not hesitate to leave a comment below with your opinions ...
