Too Big To Fail & Too Big to Give A Damn

If we examine the assets of the major US banks and investment banks, there are six with market capitalisation above $1 trillion: Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE: GS), Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS), JP Morgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM), Citigroup Inc. (NYSE: C), Bank of America Corp. (NYSE: BAC) and Wells Fargo Co. (NYSE: WFC). The next largest bank with market capitalisation at about $300 billion is PNC Financial Services (NYSE: PNC). The six largest banks in America which share ownership* of the Federal Reserve are at least three to four times the size of their nearest competitor. Those six banks increased their market capitalisation and size as a result of the 2008 global financial crisis. Their position of dominance is guaranteed because they hold a monopoly on the supply of money to the US economy. Clearly the golden rule applies; he with the gold, rules. Or in the American case, whoever controls the supply of credit at 33 Liberty Street, controls Wall Street and therefore the United States.

I’ll answer some more questions tomorrow. It’ll be on my mind as I have to pay the Sheriff a visit about Hunter’s suicide crime scene investigation before I make the next move on the application to turn this house into a Historical landmark. One step at time. This time of year is the worst. But it has to be done, one step at a time. Otherwise the mendacity and sting will bleed into the generations. Hunter, we love you. We will never forget you.
