Scientific Proof That The Global Economy Is Controlled By Less Than 200 People!

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this, if it's not, please move it to the correct one.
I just did a search on ATS, and couldn't find anything related to this story, so again I apologize if I missed it.

I came across this story while cruising around one of my other favourite CONSPIRACY sites. It seems as though science has finally proven what we've all be saying for years: The Global Economy is controlled by just a handful of people.

Check this out: The Truth.... REVEALED

when i follow your links it takes me to a page that talks about 147 companies that are the most superconnected companies in the world. Not really a list of less than 200 people who "Control The Global Economy".

This is an excellent article but your title is a little misleading. The study from Zurich didn't find that 147 people controlled the majority of the world revenue, but rather 147 different entities. This is an important distinction.

It is also important to note that 49 out of the top 50 are investment entities, which means that individual, corporate and collective investment vehicles that are managed by this entities would have shown them to be "owned" by the investment entities. This isn't surprising and is exactly what you would expect because of publicly traded securities.

The real merit of the study is that it demonstrably illustrates how concentrated the viability of our economy is on so few. This is exactly the problem that gave us the mess in 2008.

On a personal note, I completely disagree with the assertion by Driffill that 147 is too many for the them to be able to assert political pressure on the various governments.

Excellent find.

More like only down to a few people, I wouldnt say 200 control the masses,its too many.

I believe through the power of conspiracy that its the rockefeller and a couple of other familys that own pretty much almost everything

147 entities, yes. Even if a company is run by a Board of Directors, or Shareholders... there is always someone at the top..... A chairman, for example.

It's been posted a lot of times, but I enjoy reading it every time.

I would like to see the donation amounts for the POTUS candidates for each of these corporations

A Charmain isnt really in control of the company, hes more of a representative and and spokesperson for a group.

The chairman is the highest officer of an organized group such as a board, committee, or deliberative assembly. The person holding the office is typically elected or appointed by the members of the group. The chairman presides over meetings of the assembled group and conducts its business in an orderly fashion. When the group is not in session, the officer's duties often include acting as its head, its representative to the outside world and its spokesperson.

That's a rather short to-do list to free the world of corruption. I thought there'd be more.

wrong list
the real *hit-list would be the names and addresses
of the stockholders of all these superconnected corps'
definitely more even when you take overlapping into account


however these studies are useful in determining Systempunkt

A systempunkt is a point in a system reactive to many small interactions, which through a network of objects in a surrounding environment or dependent network, exhibits a cascading collapse in the specific system and possibly the networked components. A systempunkt may be vulnerable to operational failure, but it is neither vulnerable because of operation or location, but rather its operation interacts through communication, exchange or movement of objects and these disrupted dependencies of flows of data, or goods will be the failure when it is no longer operating. The effects on the network are more significant than those on the specific object.

The etymology is modern and is a portmanteau word derived from the German term 'schwerpunkt' and the English language word 'system'. The German term from Blitzkrieg warfare's schwerpunkt literally means 'heavy point' and is often translated as centre of gravity or focal point. It is used here in relation to its military context of use, in which it describes the focal point of an attack against an enemy line, usually at some vulnerable part of that line, which will lead to the collapse in the enemy line of defense. But whereas a schwerpunkt focuses on a single object of attack, the Systempunkt is representative of network effects. A link may fail, not necessarily the weakest, but the effects on the network may continue to cascade, as an avalanche effect that spreads throughout the system. Repercussions may be continuous, and exhibit repeating failures that have aftershocks for the whole network.

Descriptively it has some similarities to Heinz Guderian's adage “Nicht kleckern, klotzen!” (“Don't fiddle, smash!”) though it reverses the intent and effect and intends to actualize cascading events through domino type dependencies. In practice, "Fiddle until it smashes". Computer servers that fail from a Denial of service attack may no longer support the application or user base that depends on them.

It should be considered a superset of simple sabotage. But has a more grandiose objective in the collapse of a dependent network or state social order.en.wikipedia.org...

Makes sense they'd have to have at least to 2 or 3 walls of people to shoot thru for a getaway. It's good to know the names are out there. Although I'm sure it could all be traced back to a select few.

yes 147 companies dubbed a 'Super entity' run the lot , all the worlds major financial institutions...... i wonder what the global economy is like for these small group of companies .. they masquerade as concerned for the entire global economy .. why?

it is quite clear that only a small number of companies need to be sorted and the rest should filter down ...

unless... of course they have a reason for creating global instability .. hmmm...
