What we're seeing today is Act II. I heard about it April 3 on Bill Moyers Journal, ordered it, and finished it a few days ago. What goes on in these control-frauds and behind-the-scenes in regulatory warfare is beyond disgusting. The author was a litigator with the Bank Board at that time. "False Profits Once Again" commentary at my website was written as I was halfway through the book.]]>

NOC: 1.85% control over 50%.
LMT: 1.45% control over 50%.
SAI: 3.37% control over 40%.
Barclays is London and AXA is Paris. Drill down into the major holders, and you'll see the same names. Then see that the same holders control AIG, C, BAC, WFC and so on, including GS, MS and JPM. Same with IBM and GE.

Ever wonder why our destiny seems out of our control? Even in our little mid-western town, SI International was taken over by SERCO, an immense British government contract firm. SI International processed immigrant files for Department of Homeland Security. ATK manages the local ammunition plant, the largest supplier of small rounds to our military. Same names pop up. Gives one a real sense of security in the homeland.

How Derivatives Got Cities and Counties in Hot Water http://seekingalpha.com/article/130163-how-derivatives-got-cities-and-counties-in-hot-water?source=feed#comment-457686 457686
That's why these derivatives were sold as protection against interest rates going up, because the sellers knew they would be able to manipulate the rates down. Remember that the FED has always said that they were owned by their member banks. So you just have to look at who controls the largest member banks. Very interesting pattern.]]>
