Who has ever heard of the private company Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation? Shouldn't investors be some what familiar with a private company that holds $40 trillion in assets and last year handled "more than $1.86 quadrillion" in stock transactions?
- Source: Wikipedia
"DTCC retains custody of 3.5 million securities issues, worth about $40 trillion, including securities issued in the US and more than 110 other countries.""The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), based primarily at 55 Water Street in New York City, is the world's largest post-trade financial services company.
DTCC has been sued with regard to its alleged participation in naked short selling. Further allegations about DTCC's possible involvement have been made by Senator Robert Bennett and discussed by the NASAA and in articles in the Wall Street Journal and Euromoney Magazine."
"In 2007, DTCC settled the vast majority of securities transactions in the United States, more than $1.86 quadrillion in value."
On the current financial meltdown; last week Jim Cramer, former Hedge fund manager, said on his CNBC's financial TV program, "Obviously the financial terrorism thing for me has to be put on the table because the regular short sellers are not doing this, they're not doing this." Watch it here. Short selling is basically making money by placing bets/investing on stocks to go down in value.
A 2003 article (a few years before today's dire financial meltdown) written on DTCC by an author named Flemming Funch brings up the differences of how stock certificates used to be in citizen's names, then it changed over to the stock brokers name and "now, it appears the rules were then changed so the brokers are not allowed any longer to put the stocks in their own name. Instead, what they typically do is to put the stocks into the name of "Cede and Company" or "Cede & Co" or some such variation. And the broker might tell you that it is just a fictitious name, and will explain why it is really more practical to do that than to put it in your name. The problem with that is that it appears that Cede isn't just some dummy name, but an actual corporation that DTCC controls. And, well, if you ask anybody about this, who actually knows about it, they will naturally tell you that it is all a formality. If there's a national U.S. emergency and/or the U.S. government becomes unable to pay its debts, well, they might just not give you your stocks back. Because legally they own them. Something to think about.
It is a private company, owned by the same people [major bankers] who own the Federal Reserve Bank."
Wikipedia: "DTCC is a member of the U.S. Federal Reserve System, and a registered clearing agency with the Securities and Exchange Commission." The European based eqvilent of DTCC is called Euroclear and Wikipedia states, "It was founded in 1968 as part of J.P. Morgan & Co."

On the 17th of September Reuters published an article titled "China paper urges new currency order after 'financial tsunami'". Western media does not republish "communist" propaganda of how bad the U.S. is but it apparently wants to publicise this idea. In the next few short years when the U.S. almost certainly defaults on it's massive trillions of increasing debt, corporate owned China, the world's leading manufacturer (thanks to corporate western outsourcing), will be left as the biggest world power ready to take over from the United States. A few days after the Reuters report Shanghai Daily announced the elite de Rothschild banking family have linked in with the Bank of China. Shanghai Daily states, "BANK of China said yesterday it will buy a 20 percent stake in La Compagnie Financiere Edmond de Rothschild for 236.3 million euros (US$340 million) and the two will develop private banking and asset-management services. Founded in 1953, LCFR is controlled by the Rothschild family, which has a 250-year history in European banking. 'This partnership forms part of Bank of China's global development strategy,' Bank of China chairman Xiao Gang said in a statement. The deal expands Bank of China's European ties just two months after it bought 30 percent of Swiss-based Heritage Fund Management SA in July for 60 million yuan (US$9 million)." The game is control, control, control, money just facilitates it and the best control holds no liability to public scrutiny.
