re/ 14 Apr 2006 thirteen families effectively control the central banks http://cyberjournal.org/show_archives/?id=1107&lists=newslog -------------------------------------------------------- From: "William Engdahl" <> To: <•••@••.•••> Subject: RE: weekend dialog Date: Mon, 24 Apr 2006 12:42:55 +0200 Richard, A caveat to your posting of 8 families... The list I have seen before on various websites. The difficulty is that most of the 8 banks either do not exist today or never did. 'Lazeres bank' no doubt refers to Lazard Freres Bank, a Paris-London investment bank tied to Felix Rohatyn in New York. It is a niche player. Warburg Bank of Hamburg and A'dam: The Hamburg branch was headed after WWII by a Warburg, Felix Warburg, but played no role in policy. The London S.G. Warburg is now part of a larger European bank. Chase is the Rockefeller family Standard Oil bank, Goldman Sachs is a major Wall St investment bank. Kuhn, Loeb was. Only Chase Manhattan, today JP Morgan-Chase is a member commercial bank of the Federal Reserve System. The rest are ineligible to be due to their charter and hence not allowed by Federal Reserve Act to buy stock in the Federal Res4erve 12 district banks. The list makes great thriller reading for some perhaps but is not a serious clarification of our highly defective money system. Best, William --------------------------------------------------------
