Flashback: a useful reminder, a few days before the start of the annual talkfest in Davos.

And don't forget:

The Top 8 US financial universe - JP Morgan, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, US Bancorp, Bank of New York Mellon and Morgan Stanley - is 100% controlled by only TEN shareholders. And only FOUR companies take part in ALL major decisions: BlackRock, State Street, Vanguard and Fidelity.

The Fed is made up of 12 banks, represented by a board of seven, which includes members of those four.

So the Fed is actually controlled by four PRIVATE companies: BlackRock, State Street, Vanguard and Fidelity. These are the real financial Masters of the Universe as they control US - and global - monetary policy.

Welcome to the real matrix.
