Mainly the very old western european global wealth entities (and a few families here in the US) that own the federal reserve, IMF, and the world bank. They own the centralized reserve banking system along with hundreds and hundreds of companies all spread throughout the world. If you do about two to three years of highly detailed research, you will be shocked as to how history just keeps repeating and how this group continues to consolidate wealth and power (to the point now, where they have FULL control over numerous governments).
BTW, Ron Paul was the ONLY presidential politician talking about the criminal and unconstitutional structure between the privately held fed and the US government.......he wants to abolish the fed as we know it. www.endthefed.us
Obama has to grab the bull by the horns & make sure the money goes where it should. Get rid of Paulson, he never had a plan & seems to be only interested in helping his buddys. As Donald Trump said recently, you can have triple A credit & the Banks are not lending. Not complying with the deal. Who is holding them accountable?
Why does it always have to be the design of conspiracy? Occam's Razor; Simple greed got us here. The greed of people with money and power and a complete lack of appreciation for the exponential function.
