Mark Mitchell at Deep Capture:

“Consider also that the report commissioned by the Defense Department stated that it cannot be ruled out that Wall Street regulatory bodies (including the DTCC) have been compromised by organized crime or even agents of foreign governments that are hostile to the United States.

Then consider the 100% demonstrable fact that the man who helped build what is now known as the DTCC – an outfit that is, in essence, the foundation of the American financial system – was an extremely close business associate of the Russian Mafia, the key members of which seem to be inextricably tied to Russia’s state intelligence services.

I think I have also demonstrated clearly that the business partners of the DTC’s founding president are part of an extremely tight-knit network that includes people who are deeply involved with the Iranian regime, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Saudi intelligence, Pakistani spies, Libya’s dictator, a market manipulator who vacations in North Korea, nuclear weapons traffickers, and Al Qaeda.

If this were fiction, it would be bad fiction, indeed.  But it’s not fiction. It’s the truth, at once absurd and deadly serious.”
