Peter Kershaw provides the answer in "Economic Solutions" where he lists the ten primary shareholders in the Federal Reserve banking system.
The Rothschild Family – London
The Rothschild Family – Berlin
The Lazard Brothers – Paris
Israel Seiff – Italy
Kuhn-Loeb Company – Germany
The Warburgs – Amsterdam
The Warburgs – Hamburg
Lehman Brothers – New York
Goldman & Sachs – New York
The Rockefeller Family – New York
Now, doesn't something seem terribly wrong with this situation? Namely, don't we live in America? If so, why are seven of the top ten stockholders located in foreign countries?
Jim Marrs provides the following data in his phenomenal book, “Rule By Secrecy”.
"The Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which undeniably controls the other eleven Federal Reserve branches, is essentially controlled by two financial institutions:
1) Chase-Manhattan (controlled by the Rockefellers) - 6,389,445 shares - 32.3%
2) Citibank - 4,051,851 shares - 20.5%
Thus, these two entities control nearly 53% of the New York Federal Reserve Bank.”
