Who "Controls" The 10 Major Newspaper Companies?
This page helps determine who really controls
the major public newspaper companies, according to market cap.
Nothing seems to have changed much since 1889 when the Great Red Dragon book was published.
Except that a greater amount of power has been concentrated into fewer hands.
The point is, control of American companies is rapidly being consolidated
into a few foreign hands, and they are also doing so at
"frantic" pace.
Damn any of the promises that had been made earlier, such as retirement benefits,
health care and pensions. Any why are they doing this?
To "own the earth in fee simple."
You can do the same lookup on public corporation and see for yourself who owns what.
You will also see that some of the major holders are nothing more than
a "front" for a another more powerful group. Simply find out who the major holders
of the major holders are and see for yourself. Their idea is simply
to make it easier to deceive the public.
While doing this, remember that it takes only 10% of the stock to "control"
a large widely-held public corporation.
Especially when management and insiders show little or zero ownership. They, as hirelings,
simply take their marching orders and their large paychecks, and everybody else be damned.
If they show any conscience about what happens to their employees or customer base,
they will simply be removed, then replaced, by another, more "aggressive leader."
Another problem we're facing now is the growth of private-equity
groups, which don't have to make the same disclosures as the publicly-held groups.
This is why they keep gaining up on the SEC to "prevent" disclosure and accountability.
I have no illusions that they are simply
"Snakes In different-colored Suits."
