Overall this is an excellent article, especially Josiah Stamp’s quote!

Geez, dumbest comment ever: “They (Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Royals, Presidents) did not design this . .”

Obviously the minion class: presidents and Royals did not — they follow the scripts they are handed, but those working FOR Rockefellers and Rothschilds certainly did design it — TO THE MAX, and nothing hapless about the super–rich!

Around 2008 to 2010, the Rothschild families of the UK and Europe consolidated all their holdings under Concordia AB in Switzerland, while the Rockefeller family consolidated all their trusts and holdings in the same national trust company, established solely to managing them and only them —- used to be an online notice of their official petition to the OCC to allow them to do this — ruled in their favor, of course!

NPR’s halfwitted Nicole King reported 6 or 7 years ago that a “billionaire donated $1 billion to charity” —- of course he did NO SUCH THING — — he simply removed $1 billion worth of assets (stocks, bonds, etc.) from his personal financial statement, so he would NO longer be taxed on them, to his newly created foundation, sheltering them from from any hostile takeovers, reducing taxation dramatically and making private all his future financial machinations as foundations and trusts are normally opaque to public access! (Thomas Piketty, in his rather thick book, “Capital in the Twenty–first Century,” stated he did not research foundations and trusts, of course, since they are opaque to public view and cannot really be adequately researched — realistically dramatically skewing his opinions rendered as most $$$$ are hidden within trusts, foundations and OFC financial constructs, Offshore Finance Centers)!

These taxation/wealth dodges date back to the 1400s with the Dutch bankers’ financial creation, the “stichting” — on which foundations, trusts and various $$$—hiding structures are based and modelled! So by shifting assets to a foundation, trust or similar entity, the owner shifts “ownership” while retaining “control of the asset” —- all a legal fiction which translates to GHOST ASSETS, the true net worth of individuals and families, not reflected in those Forbes’ lists of the richest!

So when the Rockefeller fortune in 1960, in actual REAL numbers, not relative value, was estimated at $60 billion or greater, they didn’t “give it away” but simply shifted it over to their foundations and trusts! (This was well covered in numerous reports on foundations and trusts by populist Congressman Wright Patman, back in the 1960s. Probably served as the basis for President John F. Kennedy lobbying congress to succesfully pass the Interest Equalization Tax to incentivize corporations to not offshore as many jobs as they wished?!)

(And anyone financially astute realizes the Rockefellers’ Standard Oil was never financially broken up or dissolved, it was solely a PAPER BREAKUP, greatly profiting the Rockefeller family by acting as a super–stock split!)

Of Interest:

“The oldest corporation, of Anglo-Dutch origin, is also the longest enduring corporation in the Western Hemisphere, perhaps the world, predating the Norman Conquest of 1066, officially the City of London Corporation (“The City”), owner of property in the financial districts of Wall Street, Hong Kong, Sydney and Dubai.

The City and the City Cash.  (City Cash may well be the longest continuing financial fund in history, going back at least eight centuries.)”
