Own Stocks and Bonds? Think they are yours through your broker? You are Wrong. Fed Reserve aka DTCC is the owner of ALL stocks traded. You are a Beneficiary of your Stocks, unless they decide you are not. MF Global Theft of Billions now makes sense.


Update - 2014 I am bringing this up to the top on May 30 2014, as I believe people really need to see this again and understand it all.  I wrote and researched this in March 2012, but it still applies today.  I would love for everyone to call their broker and ask them about this.  Ask them if the stocks you buy are then put into another (cede) name and not your own.  

This is one of those mind blowing pieces of information that shows there is nothing that is not owned by the Federal Reserve.  A little known company - Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation - DTCC is the one entity/corporation in the world that holds all stocks and bonds traded for brokers.  They handle every stock/bond transaction world wide.  Not just that, but every stock/bond that people think they own, they are not the owners of them.  The stocks and bonds are not in their names in fact, the broker puts them in a fictitious name (Cede) - Funny name - a pun on "ceding something away) which the DTCC owns.   The DTCC is listed as the actual owner of the stock and bond and those who have purchased them are strictly the beneficiary of said stocks and bonds.

You may be thinking... well being beneficiary is just as good as being the stated owner.... WRONG!
Being beneficiary of the stocks and bonds purchased may be fine when all things are going well, but what happens when things start going nuts and banks have some real problems (ie: Greece default and banks exposure to it, via derivatives)?

Remember MF Global - world's largest commodities broker?  They went bankrupt, Oct 31 2011, and 1.2 Billion had been taken out of customers accounts just days before hand.  It has been discovered that bank transfers of hundreds of millions of dollars were to JP Morgan before the commodities broker went down.  The Federal government is not going to prosecute a single person regarding the outright theft of 1.2 billion from the customers accounts.  Jon Corzine (CEO of MF Global, Obama money bundler, previous Governor of N.J.) is walking away a free man and the Congress is calling him "Honorable" at the same time.   Then to make matters worse the Bankruptcy Judge put it in as a Equities bankruptcy and not a commodities bankruptcy (which was out right fraud) so Wall Street banks get first money, compared to the customers getting their money back.  Which then allowed JP Morgan to steal all the gold and silver being stored for paying customers and outright owners of those metals.  The customers of MF Global did not just lose their cash in accounts, they also lost all the gold and silver they owned for years and paid storage on through MF Global.

Edit to add 3/9/12 - Court says MF Global executives still get their millions in bonuses for 2011

Do you understand how Wall Street is protected over all customers by what has happened with MF Global?

How could that have happened, how could such obvious injustice have been done on every level?  How come not one single level of government from Congressional, Judicial and Administrative will not hold a Wall Street Commodities broker accountable to stealing the customers money out of their personal accounts?  How come not one single regulatory committee (CFTC) or government entity (FBI, DHS, etc) are not making MF Global accountable for theft directly out of people's personal accounts?

Well, once you read the information below, you will understand why MF Global is able to get away with it.  I now understand it.  Because all the commodity contracts and gold and silver people thought they owned, they did not.  They were strictly beneficiaries of it as long as the government/Fed Reserve allowed them to be.  But once it came down to MF Global falling apart the "real" owners kept all monies and gold and silver.

It all makes sense to me now and all the pieces of the puzzle have come together in why a broker is able to steal people's money out of their accounts.



Once I read the article I decided to do a little research to find out if it was all true.

Here is DTCC website with them stating they have done 1.6 quadrillion of trades every year, on page 5 of the report.  

The overall website for DTCC is here.

From the link above:

DTCC's depository provides custody and asset servicing for more than 3.6 million securities issues from the United States and 121 other countries and territories, valued at US$36.5 trillion. In 2010, DTCC settled nearly US$1.66 quadrillion in securities transactions.

Imagine 1.66 QUADRILLION company and they say that Apple is the largest company?   Seems the media is somehow ignoring a company that does 1.66 QUADRILLION in business.  

Now what does the website say about WHO owns this little known company, that does Quadrillions in business?
The Warehouse Trust Company LLC is a subsidiary of DTCC Deriv/SERV LLC. The Warehouse Trust is regulated as a member of the U.S. Federal Reserve System, and as a limited purpose trust company by the New York State Banking Department. It operates DTCC’s Trade Information Warehouse, which provides the market's first and only comprehensive trade database and centralized electronic infrastructure for post-trade processing of OTC credit derivatives contracts over their lifecycles, from confirmation through to final settlement.

Oh, now lets see WHO is on the board of Directors for this hidden Quadrillion company?
Of course from the above link, you would never guess the Board of Directors are all people from Wall Street: Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank, Wells Fargo, Federal Reserve and a host of others.  

Wall Street's "Paperwork Crisis"

With the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) handling 10 to 12 million shares daily, brokers were literally buried in paperwork, and concern about risk was growing in Congress, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and elsewhere.
The crisis became so severe that, in order to help reduce the backlog, the exchanges closed every Wednesday, shortened trading hours on the other days, and extended settlement to T+5 from T+4. Eventually the industry developed two separate and distinct approaches to solve the paperwork problem.

One Solution: Immobilization

The first solution was to immobilize physical stock certificates by maintaining them in a central location or depository, and to record changes of ownership using "book-entry" accounting methods where no certificates actually change hands. Initially, this was done by the NYSE and its Central Certificate Service. That led to the creation of DTCC's depository subsidiary in 1973.
Now, here is the article that got me started on the research I have provided above to see if what this article stated was true.  This is from Nesara Australia - a long but fascinating article about how no one owns the stocks they think they do.    Thank you to Nesara, who has given me permission to fully reproduce the article.  


Edit to add - An Anon left a comment below with a link to a Video "Dark Side of the Looking Glass", it is all about DTCC and stocks traded.  How people are gamed and defrauded in stocks.  Excellent Videos - Thank you Anon! Amazing that the SEC is part of all the coverup of the illegal stock gaming of Wall Street.  They have blocked people from discovering the truth.  Watch all the videos of "Dark Side of the Looking Glass" inform yourself to truth.

Here's a great simplified video made back in 2006 concerning the DTCC

Dark Side of the Looking Glass: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpWzOjB8qtU
After reading this, all I can say is.... If you have stocks and bonds, get them out of your brokers hands and into your own hands in your name or sell all stocks and bonds you think you own and get them into something that you really do have control of.  I personally would not buy a single stock or bond from any broker, it is all rigged in the banks favor and if things get ugly in the markets you are out of luck, just as MF Global has proved.  

Article from Nesara Australia:

The Unknown $19 Trillion Depository Trust Company
by Anthony Wayne
Part I of II
This exclusive report is a compilation of interviews and background research from October 1995 through April 1999.
The Depository Trust Company (DTC) is the best kept secret in America. Headquartered at 55 Water Street in New York City, the average American has no clue that this financial institution is the most powerful banking corporation in the world. The general public has no knowledge of what the DTC is or what they do. How can a private banking trust company hold assets of over $19 trillion and be unknown? In a recent press release dated April 19, 1999, the Depository Trust Company stated:

The Depository Trust Company (DTC) is the world’s largest securities depository, holding nearly $19 trillion in assets for its Participants and their customers…. Last year, DTC processed over 164 million book-entry deliveries valued at more than $77 trillion.

In dealing with the trust department of Midlantic Bank, N.A. in New Jersey [now PNC Bank, N.A.], this writer was authorized, as trustee and power of attorney, to transfer original trust assets comprising of common stocks and bonds to a new trust set up in another jurisdiction. An Assistant Vice President from the Trust & Financial Management Office of Midlantic Bank said to me “it will take at least 6 weeks to do this as the majority of the stocks and bonds are not held in the name of the trust”. This same Midlantic Bank Assistant V.P. also stated in a letter dated November 17, 1995, “Of the 11 municipal bonds, 8 are held in book entry only. This means they cannot be physically re-registered with a certificate sent to the new trustees.” (* these are not the actual figures quoted in the letter in order to protect the privacy of the account holder, at their request. Also, we were asked not to name the Midlantic Assistant V.P. in order to protect her privacy Rights. We respect these requests with full moral compliance). In disbelief, I brought this matter to the attention of our research assistants at the Christian Common Law Institute [formerly the North Bridge News] and we began our lengthy investigation into the matter. After 3 years, the can of worms we’ve opened up should frighten every American. With the advent of reported Y2K computer glitches and the possible collapse of our ‘paper asset’ economy, every person who has a stock or bond in their portfolio had better read this report and act on the information we are disclosing here.

In November 1995, after encountering numerous “no comments” and a myriad of “that’s not my department” excuses via telephone, I eventually spoke with Mr. Jim McNeff who told me his position was Director of Training for the DTC. He said he’d been employed there for 19 years and was “very proud” of his employer. During my initial telephone interview, either Jim’s employer or some other unknown person or persons were illegally listening or taping our telephone conversation according to the electronic eavesdropping equipment we have installed on our end. Why did anyone feel it was necessary to illegally record our conversation without advising us? Was some federal alphabet agency monitoring DTC calls to safeguard National Security? That in itself is suspicious enough to warrant a big red warning flag.

Jim informed me back then (1995) that “the DTC is the largest limited trust company in the world with assets of $ 9.1 trillion”. In July 1998, I spoke with Ms. Rose Barnabic of the DTC Finance Department who said that “DTC assets are currently estimated at around $11 trillion”. As of April 19, 1999, the DTC itself has stated that their assets total “nearly $19 trillion” (see above). Mr. McNeff had also stated “the DTC is a brokerage clearing firm and transfer center. We’re a private bank for securities. We handle the book entry transactions for all banks and brokers. Every bank and brokerage firm must secure their membership with us in case they become insolvent, so your assets are secure with DTC”. Yes, you read that correctly. The DTC is a private bank that processes every stock and bond (paper securities) for all U.S. banks and brokerage houses. The big question is this; Just who gave this private bank and trust company such a broad range of financial power and clout?

The reason the public doesn’t know about DTC is that they’re a privately owned depository bank for institutional and brokerage firms only. They process all of their book entry settlement transactions. Jim McNeff said “There’s no need for the public to know about us… it’s required by the Federal Reserve that DTC handle all transactions”. The Federal Reserve Corporation, a/k/a The Federal Reserve System, is also a private company and is not an agency or department of our federal government, according to the 1998 Federal Registry. The Federal Reserve Board of Governors is listed, but they are not the owners. The Federal Reserve Board, headed by Mr. Alan Greenspan, is nothing more than a liaison advisory panel between the owners and the Federal Government. The FED, as they are more commonly called, mandates that the DTC process every securities transaction in the US. It’s no wonder that the DTC (including the Participants Trust Company, now the Mortgage-Backed Securities Division of the DTC) is owned by the same stockholders as the Federal Reserve System. In other words, the Depository Trust Company is really just a ‘front’ or a division of the Federal Reserve System.

“DTC is 35.1% owned by the New York Stock Exchange on behalf of the Exchange’s members. It is operated by a separate management and has an independent board of directors. It is a limited purpose trust company and is a unit of the Federal Reserve.” -New York Stock Exchange, Inc.

Now, let’s see how this effects the average working American family. If you’re not aware how the system works, you should visit or call a stock broker or bank and instruct them you want to purchase some shares of common stock or a small municipal bond, for example. They will set up a brokerage account for you and act as your agent with full durable power of attorney (which you must legally sign over to them) to conduct business on your behalf, upon your buy or sell instructions. The broker will place your stock or bond purchase into their safekeeping under a “street name”. According to Mr. McNeff of the DTC, no bank or broker can place any stock or bond into their firm’s own name due to Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations.

The broker or bank must then send the transaction to the DTC for ledger posting or book entry settlement under mandate by the Federal Reserve System. Remember, since your bank or broker can’t use their name on the certificate, they use a fictitious street name. “Since the DTC is a banking trust company, we can’t hold the certificates in our name, so the DTC transfers the certificates to our own private holding company or nominee name.” states Mr. McNeff. The DTC’s private holding company or street name, as shown on certificates we have personally examined from numerous certificate holders, is shown as either “CEDE and Company”, “Cede Company” or “Cede & Co”. We have searched every source known to learn who CEDE really is, but have been unable to get any background information on them. Is Cede Company fictitious or is their identity perhaps a larger secret than DTC? We must presume that the information Mr. McNeff gave us was correct when he confirmed that Cede Company was a controlled private holding company of the DTC. We have now found the following proof that CEDE is real from the Bear Stearns internet site:

NEW YORK, New York – March 16, 1999 – Bear Stearns Finance LLC today announced that it will redeem all of the 6,000,000 outstanding 8.00% Exchangeable Preferred Income Cumulative Shares, Series A (“EPICS”) of Bear Stearns Finance LLC, liquidation preference of $25.00 per Series A Share, CUSIP number G09198105. All of the Series A Shares are held by Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company, and the payment of the redemption price will be made to Cede & Co. by ChaseMellon Shareholder Services, LLC, as paying agent, whose address is: 85 Challenger Road, Ridgefield Park, New Jersey 07660.

The banks and brokers are merely custodians for their clients. By federal law (SEC), they cannot hold any assets in the customer’s name. The assets must be held in the name of DTC’s holding company, CEDE & Co. That’s how DTC has more than $19 trillion dollars of assets in trust… or is it really in “trust” if the private Federal Reserve System is technically holding it in their “unknown” entity’s name? Obviously, if stock and bond certificates you’ve purchased aren’t in your name, then the “holder” (the Federal Reserve System) could theoretically refuse to surrender them back to you under a “national emergency” according to the Trading with the Enemy Act (as amended). Is this the collateral being held by the private Federal Reserve System to pay off the national debt owed to them by our federal government, first initiated by Lincoln’s debt bonds of 1864?

According to Mr. McNeff, the DTC was a former member of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), and “Our sister company is the National Securities Clearing Corporation… the NSCC” (they have since merged). He was correct since we now know that the NYSE holds 35.1% of the “ownership” of the DTC on behalf of their NYSE members. Simply put, the Depository Trust Company absolutely controls every paper asset transaction in the United States as well as the majority of overseas transactions, and they now physically hold (as of April 1999) 99% of all stock and bond book-entrys in their street name, not the actual owner’s names. If you have stock or bond certificates in your name buried in your back yard or under your mattress, we suggest you keep them there. If not, it might be very wise to cancel your brokerage account and power of attorney status, re-register the stocks and bonds in your name (if you still can), and keep them hidden where only you know their location. Otherwise, you have absolutely no control over them (see Part II of our exclusive research report on the DTC for more information on beneficial ownership status). However, getting a stock or bond certificate these days is not so easy if possible at all.

“For the most part, issuers know little about the role of the Depository Trust Company (DTC). The DTC was created in 1973 as a user-owned cooperative for post-trade settlement. Our members are banks and broker/dealers, whom we refer to as participants. We handle listed and unlisted equities, including 51,000 equity issues and 170,000 corporate debt issues, equating to more than 78% of shares outstanding on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). We also have more than 95% of all municipals on deposit.

In the 1980s, the “Group of 30″ [business leaders] recommended that stock certificates be eliminated, because physical certificates create risk. The Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a concept release in 1994 to gradually decrease certificates, providing optional direct registration on the books of the issuer instead of a certificate…. this enhances the portability of shares between transfer agents and brokerage accounts. With the direct registration system, brokers transmit instructions to purchase through DTC, which the issuer or transfer agent then registers, so shares can be delivered electronically.” -John D. Faith, Manager, Corporate Trust Services, The Depository Trust Company (1996)
Now we’re about to reveal to you the most shocking discovery we came across during our research into this matter. Most of us remember a few years back the purported computerized selling of stocks that resulted in Wall Street’s “Black Monday”:

Dow Dives 508.32 Points in Panic on Wall Street
“The largest stock-market drop in Wall Street history occurred on “Black Monday” — October 19, 1987 — when the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 508.32 points, losing 22.6% of its total value. That fall far surpassed the one-day loss of 12.9% that began the great stock market crash of 1929 and foreshadowed the Great Depression. The Dow’s 1987 fall also triggered panic selling and similar drops in stock markets worldwide” -Source: Facts on File World News CD ROM.
The stock exchanges had dramatic record losses, and a record volume of shares were traded on that infamous Monday in October 1987. We all asked ourselves how computers could have done this by themselves without someone knowing about it. After all, someone has to program a computer to tell it what to do, what not to do, or even when to do or not do it.

During my telephone conversation, Mr. McNeff was trying to assure me that they [the DTC] have “never lost a certificate or made a mistake in a book ledger transaction”. In attempting to give me an example of how trustworthy the DTC is when I asked him how he could back up such a statement, he replied “DTC’s first controlled test was 4 or 5 years ago. Do you remember Black Monday? There were 535 million transactions on Monday, and 400 million transactions on Tuesday”. He was very proud to inform me that “DTC cleared every transaction without a single glitch!”. Read these quotes again: He stated that Black Monday was a controlled test. Black Monday was a deliberately manipulated disaster for many Americans at the whim of a controlled test by the DTC.

What was the purpose of this test? Common sense tells you that you test something before you intend to use it. It’s quite obvious that the stock markets are going to ‘crash and burn’ at some future date and for some ‘unknown’ reason since the controlled test was so successful. Was this just one of the planned tests for a Y2K internationally planned worldwide economic meltdown? The Great Depression is about to be repeated, and it will be as deliberate and manipulated as the first one that began with the stock market crash of 1929. We are, without a doubt, on the brink of the Mother of all economic Depressions. As of May 3, 1999, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) went above a record 11,000 points. Just prior to the 1929 stock market crash, Wall Street was posting record prices, record earnings, and record profits…. just like the scenario we are experiencing today. Will Y2K be a manipulated and deliberate a financial meltdown? Too many facts already support this probability.

On June 7, 1995, the federal government issued a new regulation requiring stock and bond certificate transfers to be cleared in three days instead of the previous five day time period. It coincided with the infamous Regulation CC that purportedly gave us faster three day availability of funds from deposited checks. This means that brokers and banks must get your stock or bond transaction into the street name (Cede & Co.) of the DTC within 3 working days. That’s hard to do considering banks claim it takes 3 or more days to clear a check that you’ve submitted to pay for a stock purchase. But, there’s a reason for this new regulation and it coincides with the introduction of the new FRS “dollars”.

On February 22, 1996, “the DTC will flip the switch” according to Mr. McNeff. “What switch?”, I asked. “This is the day that clearing house funds will no longer be accepted for stock or bond transactions” was my reply from Jim. “Instead, only Fed Funds will be accepted”. Fed Funds, or a Fedwire, are electronic computer ledger debit transfers between Federal Reserve System member banks. No checks or drafts have been allowed from that day, just as Mr. McNeff accurately stated. This is more commonly called a ‘cashless transaction’. I call it the reality of the mark of the beast. This is the manifestation of the new international god, the New World Order [I prefer the term 'New World DISorder' as a more accurate description].

Consider this my fellow Christian Americans: All pension funds and other institutional ‘managed funds’ are comprised of paper asset investments such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. These certificates are technically in the name of DTC’s private holding company, CEDE and Company. The DTC is owned by the private Federal Reserve System owners (Click for a complete list of names). Congress has attempted, on no less than two occasions since 1995, to pass legislation allowing pension funds to be used by the government as purported ‘loans’. All the Federal Reserve System has to do is hand it over. But, what happens to the people counting on those pension fund investments in order to feed themselves in their retirement? Too bad for them…. they’re out of luck because for the ‘good of the nation’, they may be forced to share or relinquish their lifetime of hard-earned wealth. This can be done without the consent of Congress under an Executive Order based on the War and Emergency Powers Act and a state of National Emergency, just like we are already under (See further Executive Orders). Since the Federal Reserve System already holds our stocks and bonds in their fictitious DTC “street name”, CEDE, then perhaps they’ll cash them in for the federal government’s failure to repay the loans that have become way overdue. Heck, some of Lincoln’s gold backed bonds from 1864 have not been repaid yet…. and for a reason.

On March 6, 1933, all bullion gold and gold coins were forcibly taken from the hands of private citizens (see New York Times). Under the War Powers Act, President Roosevelt declared a national emergency touted as a “Banking Holiday”. It was declared due to the deliberately calculated stock market crash that preceded the Great Depression. Where did this gold end up? Into the hands of the Federal Reserve System owners. The majority is stored in the impervious rock vaults they own beneath New York City. Is it any surprise that the DTC physically holds all the remaining non-book entry issued stock and bond certificates in the same place?
Technically, our entire nation is still under the Executive Order declaration of the War Powers Act and in a continual state of national emergency (See Clinton’s 1994 Executive Order 12919). The President can enforce any new emergency at any time under Executive Order or Presidential Directive. In 1995, we [the former North Bridge News] published that we expected a new national “dollar” emergency to be declared within a year or two. Just like we thought at the time, they have now blamed it on the purported drug dealers who are allegedly destroying our currency by money laundering schemes.

Since late 1996, old U.S. $100 FRB notes issued by the Federal Reserve Bank are being exchanged for new $100 FRS issued by the Federal Reserve System. These new notes have scanable magnetic platinum encryption on the plastic strips embedded inside the bills. The U.S. Treasury claims this is for “the blind”. Now, new $20 and $50 FRS’s are replacing the older notes as well. What people don’t realize is that very soon, the older FRB notes will no longer be ‘legal’ and there will be a penalty for hoarding them. This is what happened to those Americans holding gold and gold coins after 1933.

“We are most gratified with the successful introduction of the new $100 and $50 notes and look forward to the same success with the new $20s,” Chairman Greenspan said. For the first time, a machine-readable capability has been incorporated for the blind. A new feature in the $20 will facilitate the development of convenient scanning devices that could identify the note as a $20. -U.S. Treasury, Office of Public Affairs, RR-2449 released May 20, 1998.

Why new paper ‘money’ and for what purpose? Because the new FRS notes in your pocket can be scanned and whoever scans them can know exactly how much money you have on you. The older FRB notes are not encoded to do this. This writer knows firsthand of at least one machine, manufactured by Diebold, Inc. (a/k/a InterBold) that scans the money in your pockets, wallet or purse no different in theory than a credit card scanner, but much more sophisticated. I participated in a ‘test’ of this machine at a U.S. international airport in 1998. To me, it looks much like the standard metal detector scanners you walk through at all airports. I was asked (by who I believe was a U.S. Treasury Agent, as he introduced himself and flashed his ID quickly in my face so I couldn’t read it) if I had any of the new $100 or $50 bills in my pockets. I looked in my wallet and saw I had one new $100 FRS note. I told him “yes”, then he said “Good, but don’t tell me how much”. After saying he would “really appreciate it” if I would help them with a test, he asked me to walk through what looked like a typical airport scanner. No beeps. No noise. No sound at all. He looked at a computer screen and said “Do you have a new $100 bill?”. When I confirmed that was true, he thanked me and told me to please move on. I tried to ask him how the machine knew that, but he ignored my question. I took a good look at the scanning system and believe I have now spotted them at Kennedy, Atlanta, Miami and Los Angeles airports.

The odd part about this is that these machines seem to all be located in the customs areas where you enter the U.S. from a foreign country. Obviously, they want to know if someone is carrying more than $10,000 into the U.S. Common sense dictates that they should be more concerned about people leaving with more than $10,000 if they’re really trying to thwart the drug dealers…. until you begin to realize that there must be some other hidden agenda: They are apparently going to stop money from entering the U.S. for a reason.

Will the President call for the confiscation of all gold bullion and bullion coins as Roosevelt did? Who will end up with it? The Federal Reserve System owners, just like before. Since June 1998, international gold supplies have been so low that some private Swiss Banks have been paying a premium above the market wholesale value for gold bullion. This was confirmed to us by a gold and diamond mining Chief Executive from Rex Mining in Guinea, West Africa, who supplies raw gold to a major Swiss Banking company smelter and processor The spot gold market has been manipulated to keep the price low so that the Federal Reserve System owners can purchase all that is available through their various trusts and corporations. World gold availability on the open market is now at a record low and mining production of gold is also at a record low output.

What happened to ‘supply and demand’ with gold and silver? Normally, when supply is high the price decreases. When supply is low, precious metal prices increase. Perhaps the private FED will peg the new dollar to gold prices, as many experts have already speculated. What will stocks and bonds purchased with old dollars be worth then? Pennies to the dollar, so to speak. Who ends up being the only winner? The Federal Reserve System stockholders. They control the circulation amounts of paper money in the U.S. Combine that with the new scanner to stop large amounts from entering into the U.S., and the scenario amounts to a planned shortage of paper FRS notes, the banning of the older FRB notes, and the soon to be astronomical price of gold which most Americans will be forbidden to have or hoard, once again. The facts we’ve presented in this report all point to this.
People will be at the mercy of the federal government for daily food and for jobs. Checks are soon to be totally phased out. Banks issue ATM debit cards and tell you they must charge more for your account if you use a real live human teller instead of the machine. The switch is being turned on. This is not speculation. This is the truth of reality. It’s already been tested, and their new system works. Just ask Jim McNeff of the DTC.

The day has come when you must decide to accept or reject the beast and the New World Disorder. 

Part II of II-
You don’t own your Stocks….or any of your Bonds…The Depository Trust Company does.

by Anthony Wayne
In Part I of this series, excerpts of which were first published in November 1995 by the former North Bridge News, we exposed The Depository Trust Company (DTC) as the Unknown $ 9.1 Trillion Company. It appears that our startling discoveries of the inner-workings of the DTC had only scratched the surface. We’d like to add more fuel to this blazing fire by further exposing the DTC and those behind it.
The Depository Trust Company has grown since October 1995. On July 1998, this amount was estimated by a DTC employee at more than $11 Trillion. As of April 19, 1999, the DTC itself has stated in a press release that their asset value is nearly $19 trillion. In 3 1/2 years, their assets increased nearly $ 10 Trillion. That’s a lot of stocks and bonds supposedly held in trust. The latest trend over the past ten years is for stock and bond brokers to offer “book-entry ownership” only. Every book-entry stock or bond is literally owned by the DTC. Since 1985, most bond and many stock issuers have converted from the issuance of certificates to book-entry systems administered and controlled by the DTC. As of March 1999, the National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC) and the Participants Trust Company (PTC) are now merged into the DTC. Practically, there isn’t one stock or bond issued that is not controlled by the DTC.

If you purchase any stock or bond through a broker, it is being held for you under a “street name” by the DTC unless you have specifically requested to hold the certificate yourself. If you have a book entry stock or bond, you won’t be issued a certificate. It’s important to note that you have purchased that particular stock or bond without becoming a registered holder of the actual stock or bond certificate. Instead, you have become a beneficial owner. The difference between the two is like night and day. Take the time to absorb and understand the following definitions:

REGISTERED HOLDER- A Registered Holder literally possesses, owns, and holds, his stock or bond with his name appearing on the face of the certificate. The company that issued the certificate has registered the owner’s (holder’s) name on their official books. This is the safest way to own a paper asset. You literally possess the fully registered certificate and only you can transfer or sell it. By all Rights and definition of law, you are the owner. You have it, you hold it, you possess it, and you keep it. You have the complete control over it.

BENEFICIAL OWNER- A Beneficial Owner is nothing more than a beneficiary, “One who is entitled to the benefit of a contract”- A Dictionary of Law, 1893. All book-entry stocks and bonds you purchase make you the beneficial owner, not the registered holder. The owner of a book-entry stock or bond is the entity or name that it is registered under.

The DTC owns that bond or stock, not you. Rather than in your name, it’s registered (as the legal Registered Owner or agent) in their “street name”, Cede & Company. (In the past, it may have been registered in your broker’s street name, but this is no longer allowed). The DTC is the Registered Owner – holder – of your stock or bond. The DTC is the legal property-holder, share-holder, stock-holder, owner and purchaser. Your name appears nowhere on the book entry or certificate as the actual owner. Instead, you have been designated by the legal registered owner, the DTC, as the Beneficial Owner. This means that your lawful Rights in that stock or bond are confined to that of a successor or heir.

At the University of Utah College of Law, we found the following examination question about Cede & Co.:

The common stock of LargeCo, Inc. is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Over 2/3rds of the shares are registered on LargeCo’s books in the name of Cede & Co. Cede is a depository company which holds the shares as nominee on behalf of brokerage firms, mutual funds and other active traders. The brokerage firms in turn are also nominees with respect to some of the shares, which they hold on behalf of their customers. Nominees, such as Cede and brokerage firms holding for customers, view the customer as the beneficial owner of the shares and consider the customer to be the one with the right to vote the shares; mutual funds, however, view the fund as the owner of the shares it holds and vote the shares themselves.

Most of the remainder of LargeCo’s stock (26% of the total) is held by the Large family, which is still actively involved in management. LargeCo is aware that the beneficial owner of about half the stock registered in Cede’s name is the Small family, who live next door to the Larges in downtown Rome, and that the remainder of the Cede stock is beneficially owned by several well known mutual funds.
According to the DTC, under the US Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules, you only have the right to “receive proceeds or other advantages as the beneficiary”. You are not the owner… you are the consignee, “One who has deposited with a third person an article of property for the benefit of a creditor”- A Dictionary of Law, 1893. In legal terms, you are considered the heir presumptive or heir at law to the stock or bond you paid for. The DTC controls, possesses as creditor, holds and owns your book-entry stock or bond. This is a difficult pill to swallow for those who have placed their assets in stocks and bonds over the past decade. Your broker sends you a fancy accounting every month of your purported holdings, along with dividend and interest payments paid. The fact is, you only receive the benefit of ownership (interest and dividends) without holding title to your property. You are at the mercy of the registered owner, the DTC. If you don’t believe this is true, then call your broker right now and ask them who’s name is listed as the Registered Holder of your book-entry stocks and bonds. If you’re lucky, the broker will tell you “why of course you’re the Beneficial Owner”, then you’ll know the truth. He may emphasize to you that the stocks and bonds are being held in “safe keeping” for your own protection. This is broker language for “your stocks and bonds are held by the DTC in their street name as the creditor”.
From J.P. Morgan’s internet site:

Registered and beneficial shareholders
There are two types of shareholders: registered, who hold an ADR in physical form, and beneficial, whose ADRs are held by third-parties and are listed under a “nominee” or “street” name.

Registered shareholders are listed directly with the issuer or its U.S. transfer agent. The transfer agent handles the record-keeping associated with changes in share ownership, distribution of dividend payments, and investor inquiries; it also facilitates annual meetings. An issuer’s depositary bank can provide the identities of registered shareholders on a regular basis. However, this may not provide the level of shareholder identification required for a successful investor relations effort. Registered shareholders are typically individual investors who have physical possession of their share certificates, generally in lots of 100 shares or fewer. The registered list also includes nominee names such as Cede & Co., which represent the aggregate position of the Depository Trust Company (DTC), the primary safekeeping, clearing, and settlement organization for securities traded in the United States. DTC uses electronic book-entry to facilitate settlement and custody rather than the physical delivery of certificates.

Beneficial shareholders, which can include individual as well as institutional investors, do not have physical possession of their certificates; third-party broker-dealers or custodian banks hold their securities on their behalf. These shares are said to be held in street name because they are kept with the DTC in the name of the broker-dealer or the custodian bank – not the underlying shareholder. Lists of beneficial shareholders who do not object to disclosing their holdings are available from banks and broker-dealers. These lists, called NOBO for Non-Objecting Beneficial Owner, typically provide the names of individual investors.

To help identify institutional investors, who do not usually disclose their holdings, issuers use publicly available filings. Large holders, including investment managers, are required to make periodic filings – such as 13-F, 13-G, and 13-D – with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) disclosing the name and value of the positions in their portfolios.

Which brings us to the street name used, registered, and designated by the DTC as the registered owner of over $19 Trillion (USD) of our stocks and bonds… CEDE & Co. Everyone in the brokerage business keeps pronouncing this name as “See Dee” and Company, but it’s spelled C-E-D-E and pronounced “Seed”. This is where the real irony comes

According to Black’s Law Dictionary, Sixth Edition, 1990, the word Cede is defined as “To yield up; to assign; to grant; to surrender; to withdraw. Generally used to designate the transfer of territory from one government to another”. In the Black’s 1951 Fourth Edition, it lists the following as supportive case law; Goetze v. United States, C.C.N.Y., 103 Fed. 72.

Have you made the connection yet? Your book-entry stocks and bonds and all stock and bond certificates purchased through your broker and held by them under your brokerage account are owned by CEDE & COMPANY (the DTC) as the registered owner. You have surrendered, assigned and granted ownership to someone else other than yourself. Their name says it all.
How ironic and sarcastic can they be?

“CEDE- To surrender possession of, especially by treaty. See Synonyms at ‘relinquish’.” -American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, 3rd Edition of 1992
If Americans had any idea that they have relinquished the lawful ownership of their stocks and bonds to someone or something else, there would be a revolution. In a sense, that’s why we are exposing this paper asset scam to you. The point is, now that you know the truth, do something about it and get your assets back into your name.

Our suggestion to you is this: If you don’t literally have every stock and bond registered certificate in your possession, then promptly call your broker and tell him you want all your securities transferred and re-registered into your name as the Registered Holder and Owner. If he says he can’t do that because your stock or bond is a book-entry transaction only, we strongly suggest, for your own security, that you sell your book-entry assets immediately. Don’t let the broker tell you that it’s “safer” for you if they keep your certificates. Remember, you know the truth. Even if all your stock and bond certificates were burned in a fire, the process to have them replaced is simple. If someone were to steal your certificates, you simply report them stolen to the company that issued them and they’re automatically cancelled, just like a stolen credit card. Replacement certificates are then issued to replace the lost or stolen originals.

Most people don’t realize that when they open a brokerage account, they have entered into an contractural agreement allowing the broker to assign the stocks and bonds to an undisclosed creditor, the DTC. (We suggest you read the small print on your brokerage agreement). This gives the broker your express written permission to place all your securities into the ownership of the DTC. Your broker is an agent for the DTC through mandatory Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and mandates by the Federal Reserve System private bank. Your broker represents them, not you. Your brokerage account is nothing more than a ledger of accounting. It reflects no assets held in your name. The assets are registered in a “street name” that is not you or your name. Sure…. you receive the interest and dividends, but you do so as a beneficiary to the real owner. Your brokerage account in no way, shape, or manner reflects who literally owns your securities. What you own is a brokerage account and nothing more.

A greater consideration is just exactly who does the DTC hold these securities for? As the owner, who has the DTC pledged these securities to? Our research points to the Federal Reserve System, an international private banking cartel with major offices found in Moscow, London, Tokyo, and Peking. By treaty with the United Nations and in compliance with the Bretton Woods Agreement, the DTC under regulation of the Federal Reserve System has pledged all those stocks and bonds to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). These are the same paper securities found in your IRA and pension fund accounts, as well as in your brokerage account. Remember, you don’t own them…. you’re just a beneficiary.

The truth is, the securities you purchased and paid for with your hard earned money is collateral for the United Nations which is backed by the Federal Reserve System and it’s associated agencies, such as the International Monetary Fund. Is it any wonder that the UN can operate year after year with increasing budgets, but without sufficient funds? The UN has nearly $19 Trillion of backing and reserves, thanks to millions of duped Americans. We are financing the New World Dis-Order with our stocks and bonds.

MY COMMENT - AFTER READING THE ABOVE, WHAT DOES THE SET UP REMIND YOU OF?  IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS THE SAME TYPE SET UP AS THE MERS FRAUD OF WALL STREET. IN MY OPINION,  IT LOOKS LIKE THEY MODELED MERS OFF OF DTCC'S STRUCTURE OF DOING BUSINESS.  


NEWS ADDED 3/9/12 - 7:15AM EST - Goldman Sachs releases their demand to U.S. government that Banks are to be paid for debt BEFORE Social Security and Medicare to U.S. citizens!  

Update - Bloomberg article about DTCC and Hurricane Sandy  (In One week they handled 19 TRILLION. )

The Depository Trust & Clearing Corp. processed about $19 trillion in securities trades last week even as Hurricane Sandy submerged its 40-year-old undergroundManhattan vault holding physical stock and bond certificates.

The DTCC handles trades in U.S. equities and government, municipal and corporate bonds and is more important to how markets function than the New York Stock Exchange or Citigroup Inc., 

Edit to add:  Here is DTCC twitter account.

Update 2013 - DTCC expanded their offices in Tampa Florida, adding jobs that equaled to about $100 K per year.    They gave DTCC money to expand, at taxpayers expense of course.... can't have a quadrillion dollar company spending it's own money or paying taxes.  That is only for us regular folks, not the federal reserve.

DTCC announced Monday that it chose Tampa over New Jersey and other sites to add up to 255 jobs to its existing pool of 590 employees in New Tampa. The jobs' total compensation when including health insurance and bonuses will be nearly $100,000 apiece, said Eric Miller, managing director of DTCC in New Tampa.

State and local governments awarded DTCC economic incentives worth more than $4 million to get it to expand here. The money included an upfront grant of about $1.2 million from the state's Quick Action closing Fund and $1.78 million from a tax refund program paid after DTCC creates the jobs.

Update May 2014 - What Really Happened as the information up that the Federal Reserve pays NO tax what so ever.

    2. Sherrie, thanks for your article. I wonder what this means for annuity contracts? I can hold the contract at my home, but if the annuity company doesn't hold the actual bonds *themselves*, then I suppose that I am potentially looking at taking a big hit. I guess the moral of the story is get out of *anything* in paper, and just keep physical precious metals.

  2. Excellent Sherrie, thank you very much. Anyone with legitimate questions.........would ask legitimate questions. Anyone trying to obfuscate the truth would bring up the red herring of conspiracy theories.

    Have you seen the ENE News fukushima site? Lot's of hidden truths on there....

  3. One benefit (for the ruling criminals) of the DTCC is that by centralizing ownership and control of stock information, it becomes trivial to counterfeit stocks. Knowing that no major corporation will ever attempt to buy back all of their stock, the owners of the DTCC can create and sell fake stock without detection. This is similar to the way money is created during fractional reserve banking. Sure, the truth will come out some day, but if some day is far away, the sociopaths will not be restrained.

    2. Thanks Sherrie, I'm honored that I can contribute.

      I have something to say about the often cited conspiracy theories, theory. Perhaps conspiracies are not the best way to describe what we find obscuring the truth.

      We are surrounded by networks that we consider benevolent and comprehensive. And we sometime avoid other networks that might have an agenda or simply crazy people outside the norm. We believe our lawyer, doctor, President, news agent, are all benevolent and comprehensive portals to their chosen networks. They're professionals. As society in general we trust this as fact. We have no other reliable sources of information to draw from.

      Then later in life we learn our lawyer might not be totally on our side, our doctor is not going to go against big pharma and the AMA, the President might lie just to get into office, and the news agent might be dependent for his job on someone with another agenda. Perhaps the news and even our President would lie us into war.

      What to do?! Seems we are on our own to form new networks. Ones that are more benevolent and comprehensive.

    3. I just finished watching all of them completely. How mind boggling that the SEC is part of all the fraud of Wall Street. They have hidden all the FTD stock fraud from the public's eyes and the courts hide it away too. People need to really start informing themselves of what is truth of everything and by doing so they can make good decisions for themselves. Those decisions are obviously part of keeping their money out of the game that is being played upon the people in stocks and bonds.

      True about forming your own networks. By doing so, we are helping each other. That is what is important in my opinion anyway. What we do in service to others is what matters.

      As many times I as I have almost walked away from this blog and have thought I would not do any more posts, something always brings me back to it. If by bringing out truth helps one person or another by making good informed decisions that helps them at a future time, then it is worth the time I put into it.

      Thank you again, for helping bring out truth with the videos.

    4. Sherrie, I made the comment above about the ENE News site.

      I just wanted to say, in my humble opinion, you have one of the most important alternative news blogs.

      The main problem all of us have is getting our friends, family, co-workers, neighbours etc who are naive about most of this to wake up. Yet, when you visit many alternative news blogs, you are bombarded with info on UFO's, reptiles, morgellons etc, which even though may have some merit, are probably enough to scare off newbies looking to get their first taste of alternative news.

      However, you discuss stories most people can relate to, and you come across as sane and rational, but still sound concerned.

      So when I'm introducing someone to alternative news, your blog is one first I send them to, instead of ones like Rense, Sheeple, SHTF, WRH etc - which are great as well but I might send them to those ones only after they have gotten their feet wet.

      Anyway, you have a great blog and are providing a valuable service, I really appreciate it, as I'm sure a multitude of others do as well.

    5. WOW, I can't tell you how much what you wrote means to me! I sincerely Thank you! Knowing I may be making a positive difference in people's lives in what keeps me going with the blog. All the negative news/events etc gets to me at times and there is so much happening that it can become overwhelming in information overload. There is a post I started a few weeks back, I have never finished it to publish it. But it is about what we are all dealing with who are awake and aware regarding the real news that matters. It is about how it is coming from every direction, besides what we all have to deal with in our own lives. It is through faith that truth of all will be exposed and truth of ourselves will cause an enlightenment of understanding. We just all have to get through these times but keep our energy in helping others and getting real truth out.

      Again, you have no idea how much your words mean to me. To know I may be making a small difference in helping others, is awesome! Thank you again! May the Light of Love and Truth shine upon us all as we open our eyes!

    6. You making a difference but why do we not name people? Just people ... not companies and organisations. We need to know who is making the decisions in our lives and these are not faceless entities. Name everyone including the clerks in the offices and every individual who is supporting the top people. These are human and are hiding in a mass of facts and figures that are so big we cannot imagine the PEOPLE who are flesh and blood just like the rest of the 7 billion of us.

  10. I found your blog today through a link posted on in5d.com, an alternative news aggregator. I appreciate your research and want to echo some of your other readers in saying, "keep up the good work!" We all need to work hard to continue revealing the truth, no matter how deep the rabbit hole is. You found one of those almost bottomless pits in uncovering how the central banks control all equities denominated in 'their' currency. It feels like the same approach of the shadow government in owning we as individuals, using capital letters to denote their ownership of us. This is the big corporation in the sky owning us and our labors. Do they really think that this fake ownership will somehow justify their actions and give them the legal means to keep us in chains. I guess it's worked so far, but it looks like the game will be up soon. Thank you for your Lightwork. I have re-posted to my FB...Blessings from the garden island of Kauai!

    If the U.S. would stop its criminal activities the country's economy would crumble in a days if not hours.
