There is someone behind the curtain controlling it and collecting huge profits.
I can't prove this because I do not have the resources and knowledge, few do.
Look up the annual proxy statements

You're missing the point completely, who owns the institutions? There isn't some single person with majority control, it's a diverse number of individual and group investors who buy into companies like Vanguard who then go and buy shares of other companies so your investment is spread across numerous verticals and industries.
I understand what you are saying and to a degree it is true, no one owns it. There is someone behind the curtain controlling it and collecting huge profits. I can't prove this because I do not have the resources and knowledge, few do. Things are well hidden.

You can't prove it because you don't have the resources and knowledge, yet you are promoting it as true. I find that logic disturbing. You just admitted you don't know what you are talking about.
I don't know this website, just ran across it today. The information seems very credible. I don't know how credible the site is.
I have always had the belief that politics just doesn't matter. The politicians are all just puppets for the people who are really ruling.

But someone controls the actions and thoughts of that diverse number of individual and group investors.
Who?
Other people are already discussing the transition plan towards the economy of the future, where money are no longer required and all individuals will be offered the best conditions to reach their highest potentials — all for the benefit of our species, as a whole.

Actually you could find out but it requires leg work and most people on this site are far too lazy to do actual digging and rely on some crap YouTube video for 'facts'.
Look up the annual proxy statements for all the companies the buffoon in the article listed and then post what you find, it will be nothing earth shattering and frankly rather mundane. The reality is it's majority held by Average Joe's and not some nefarious cabal of evil bankers bent on global domination.

Don't see anything proving that the majority of it is held by Average Joe's. Just another shell.

You subtract the institutional holdings from the overall number and you get the number of shares held by privates citizens. You also do the same with the institutional ownership to determine how much is held by citizens.
This is all very basic math.
Now look at the percent of people who own the institutions like I said in the post you're replying to. There isn't one person or persons at the top of each company.
And who owns these companies? The largest share is private citizens.

I give you respect sir for your knowledge on this topic and
humor on others. However to suggest that this world is
not ruled and controlled and even for planned by these
rigid financial giants that have been monopolized by certain
bloodlines? If that's what you are suggesting seems a bit naive
and frankly hard to swallow for me. Who they are seems almost
irrelevant when one hardly needs to call attention to the power
wielded by these mega institutions.
A power so great that I suspect it might even be responsible for
the article that is the subject of this post. When in the end it
offers a solution that takes us directly to the obvious goal of the
rich and powerful anyway.

Looks like socialism in the end!

You really thought John D. Quintonaire was going to be listed in the proxy statements?

...but the 13 families in reference are most certainly
private citizens. Very powerful private citizens.
