Revealed – the capitalist network that runs the world

AS PROTESTS against financial power sweep the world this week, science may have confirmed the protesters' worst fears. An analysis of the relationships between 43,000 transnational corporations has identified a relatively small group of companies, mainly banks, with disproportionate power over the global economy.

The study's assumptions have attracted some criticism, but complex systems analysts contacted by New Scientist say it is a unique effort to untangle control in the global economy. Pushing the analysis further, they say, could help to identify ways of making global capitalism more stable.

The idea that a few bankers control a large chunk of the global economy might not seem like news to New York's Occupy Wall Street movement and protesters elsewhere (see photo). But the study, by a trio of complex systems theorists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, is the first to go beyond ideology to empirically identify such a network of power. It combines the mathematics long used to model natural systems with comprehensive corporate data to map ownership among the world's transnational corporations (TNCs).

"Reality is so complex, we must move away from dogma, whether it's conspiracy theories or free-market," says James Glattfelder. "Our analysis is reality-based."

great video... scary actually that this is what we are allowing ourselves to become...but the closer the people come to making the reality of what .gov has done to us become mainstream the harder the powers that be push back... they begin to realize how close they are to TSHTF. Credit to those who are fighting the fight... keep up the good work... As KD has said before, this is NOT going to end well...

Great video. We will see how repressive our government can be when pushed.

Schumer's typically stupid idea:

Foreigners' Sweetener: Buy House, Get a Visa

"The reeling housing market has come to this: To shore it up, two Senators are preparing to introduce a bipartisan bill Thursday that would give residence visas to foreigners who spend at least $500,000 to buy houses in the U.S."

I understand your POV, Swrichmond. Which is why I'm grateful for Oathkeepers.

I'm FAR more concerned about domestic police forces than the military, in that regard.

Exactly. In general, people become cops for entirely different reasons than people who decide to join the military.

The underlying concept that should be instilled in those participating or watching the video that feel the same way is.... NOT GUILTY.

Not Guilty..............Not Guilty.............Not Guilty. Keep repeating until you get it.

If you were a police force with a protest movement of "Not Guilty" being chanted at protests. Would you (a jack booted thug) like to participate or would it destroy and breakdown your motivation to invoke the policy of 0ppression.

William Wallace cried for Freedom - this movement needs to cry for "Not Guilty".

That's a vicious circle if I've ever seen one. The more they crack down, the more people will see their unreasonable & unwarranted tactics and want to get involved to stop the abusive behavior.
