Read_883 - The Great Taking [P2]

"I am illustrating the horror and simplicity of the lie. You are led to believe that you own something, but someone else secretly controls it as collateral, and they have now established legal certainty that they have absolute power to take it immediately in the event of insolvency, and not your insolvency, but insolvency of the people who secretly gave them your property as collateral. It does not seem possible, but this is exactly what has been done with all tradable financial instruments globally. […] Essentially, all securities, quote, owned by the public in custodial accounts, pension plans, and investment funds are now encumbered as collateral, underpinning the derivatives complex." ~ David Rogers Webb

What if everything you think you own in the financial system has already been secretly pledged as collateral to powerful creditors, who are even explicitly referred to in documentation and law as "the protected class"? In Part 2 of "The Great Taking," we continue into the depths of the legal structure and institutions that comprise a shadow network of secured creditors positioned to seize all tradable assets in the next financial collapse. From CIA operatives orchestrating the transition away from physical certificates to international legal harmonization efforts that override national property laws, this episode reveals how the very concept of ownership may have been quietly redefined while nobody was watching. When the music stops in this global game of financial musical chairs, will ordinary investors discover they never actually owned anything at all?
