Jim Marrs provides the following data in his  book, "Rule By Secrecy. 
" He says that 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) Citbank - 4,051,851 shares - 20. 
5% 
Thus, these two entities control nearly 53% of the New York Federal Reserve Bank. Doesn't that boggle your mind? Now, considering how many trillions of dollars are involved here, and how the bankers are WAY above our "selected" officials in Washington, D.C., do you think the above-listed banks and families have an inordinate amount of say-so in how our country is being run? The answer is blindingly apparent.
