Scientists have shown that there is a new world order that exerts power over much of the world’s finances.
Three complex systems theorists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich analysed the relationships between 43,000 transnational corporations (TNCs) and identified that a relatively small number of companies, mainly banks, hold a ‘disproportionate’ level of power over the global economy.
The top ten names involved will be well known to most people:
1. Barclays plc
2. Capital Group Companies Inc
3. FMR Corporation
4. AXA
5. State Street Corporation
6. JP Morgan Chase & Co
7. Legal & General Group plc
8. Vanguard Group Inc
9. UBS AG
10. Merrill Lynch & Co Inc
The one name that a lot of people would expect to see at or near the top especially after the Alessio Rastani / BBC interview), Goldman Sachs inc, comes in at number 18.
The research, conducted by Stefania Vitali, James B. Glattfelder, and Stefano Battiston was conducted with the reality of the situation in mind, not any political dogma. But what it brings to light should concern us all, “We find that transnational corporations form a giant bow-tie structure and that a large portion of control flows to a small tightly-knit core of financial institutions. This core can be seen as an economic “super-entity” that raises new important issues both for researchers and policy makers” it says in the report (The network of global corporate control).
But before all the conspiracy theorists get excited, this research indicates that it came about more as a system evolution, not with any controlling force behind it.
Whatever your feelings about how this came about some are saying that this shows how delicate the whole system is because the tight connectedness is so prone to contagion.
But while it shows a ‘super-entity’ of 147 companies holds huge control over much of the money it does say that the ability for them to exert any real political control is very limited. It seems that the connections are all based on business rather than politics.
But therein lies the politics. If all the world's economic and financial decisions are made purely on making money for the few and retaining it within their grasp, as well as it being a very vulnerable set-up, how can that possibly be good for the rest of us who have no say over its use?

Those scientists couldn't see any background force controlling these corporations, then they didn't look hard enough. You need to look into the families in the background. Look into the illuminati (yes it's real and was started hundreds of years ago in Europe) This seems like an article in defense of the psychopaths who want power and death. You are saying the concept is real however you turn the spotlight away from the guilty. Just my opinion on the article, don't take my word for it, look into it.
These psychos want to kill off 80 – 95% of the global population. It is in their own worlds through their own books, interviews, internal memos, white papers, etc. The muslims are not your enemy. The Russians are not your enemy, the Chinese are not your enemies. They are playing us off against eachother so they can secure their destructive system. Get angry get active and defeat these scum with the law. I want to see these imbred pieces of garbage thrown in the clink for life!
Hi Tony, the article was just saying what the report found.
" New World Order – so it really does exist " and it started in the 1700's books have been written about it and films made.
The video below gives an over view of this organisation and its history; what is said is still true today, remember this was made in 1960!
The Capitalist Conspiracy.
Edward Griffin – The Capitalist Conspiracy: An Inside view of International Banking Written and narrated by G. Edward Griffin (1960's) An old film, made sometime in the 60's. This is an adaptation of a documentary filmstrip tracing the history of a small group of people who control the money systems of the world. It shows how this group is protected by governments and how its wealth is derived by creating money out of nothing. We see how this group wields power through government, foundations, education, and the mass media. It has aided such regimes as Russia and China, not because it is pro-Communist, but because a visible enemy and the threat of war have been useful in persuading the masses to embrace the group's ultimate goal: a world government which they expect to control from behind the scenes. They are now working to replace fear of nuclear war with fear of global pollution as the motivation for world government. It is clear that the plan revealed in this program continues to unfold. Monopoly is not an outgrowth of capitalism. Monopolists lobby for laws that give them advantages in the market place. Monopoloy is not based on free-enterprise competition, but the escape from it. It is not the product of capitalism but the bedfellow of socialism
