THE CONSOLIDATION OF POWER FLOWS OF THE UNITED STATES
If you want to know where the real center of world power, follow the money and where they end up. According to the magazine Global Finance , in 2010 the five largest banks in the world are all in the feuds of the Rothschilds in the United Kingdom and France.
They are the French BNP (3 trillion in assets ), Royal Bank of Scotland (2.7 trillion), Britain's HSBC Holdings (2.4 trillion), France's Credit Agricole (2.2 trillion) and the British Barclays (2, 2 trillion).
In the United States meeting with the deregulation mania of mergers has left the field four mega-banks that make the law on everything. Also according to the Global Finance in 2010 were Bank of America (2.2 trillion dollars), JP Morgan Chase (2 trillion), Citigroup (1.9 trillion) and Wells Fargo (1.25 trillion). I have named the Four Horsemen of the banking system in the United States.

At the end of 1998, the giant Citibank merged with Travelers Group to become Citigroup , creating a giant worth $ 700 billion with 163,000 employees in over 100 countries that had inside Salomon Smith Barney a joint venture with Morgan Stanley ), Commercial Credit , Primerica Financial Services , Shearson Lehman , Barclays America , Aetna and Security Pacific Financial [7].
That same year, Bankers Trust and U.S. investment bank Alex Brown were grabbing by Deutsche Bank , which had already noted the London-based Morgan Grenfell & Co. In 1989, Deutsche Bank became the largest bank in the world with assets worth 882 billion dollars. In January 2002, the titans of Japanese Mitsubishi and Sumitomo agreed to form Sumitomo Mitsubishi Bank , which surpassed Deutsche Bank with assets of 905 billion dollars [8].
In 2004 HSBC became the second largest bank in the world. Six years later the three giants were eclipsed by both BNP that Royal Bank of Scotland .
In the United States the nightmare of George Gould has peaked just in time for the start of the millennium, when Chase Manhattan has engulfed Chemical Bank . The Bechtel of Wells Fargo acquired Norwest Bank , and Bank of America absorbed Nations Bank . The coup de grace was given when the reunited House of Morgan announced that he would be merged with the apparatus of the Rockefeller Chase Manhattan / Chemical Bank / Manufacturers Hanover.
Four banking giants have managed to lay down the law in finance in the United States. JP Morgan Chase and Citigroup were the rulers of the capital of the East Coast . Together they had control of 52.86% of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York [9]. Bank of America and Wells Fargo were the kings of the West Coast .
During the banking crisis of 2008, these companies have increasingly enlarged, managing to get about a trillion of government aid by the Secretary of the Treasury and a student of Goldman Sachs , Henry Paulsen, meanwhile, took possession of non-performing assets in exchange of change.
Barclays took over Lehman Brothers . JP Morgan Chase took Washington Mutual and Bear Stearns . Bank of America took over Merrill Lynch and Countrywide . Wells Fargo has swallowed up the country's fifth largest bank , Wachovia .
These banks controlled by eight families who for decades have led to the Four Horsemen galloping pesticciare oil fields in the Persian Gulf are now more powerful than ever. They are the Four Horsemen of the banking system in the United States.
