The term \u201csuper-entity\u201d is simply a synonym for monopoly. The research further stipulated that \u00be of the 140+ (gigantic) corporate fronts which comprised this mega-monopoly were financial intermediaries (i.e. banks), hence the title, The One Bank.<\/p>\n<p>The research names \u201cnames\u201d.\u00a0<b>Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, Barclays, Credit Suisse, UBS, Merrill Lynch, Bear Stearns, and Lehman Brothers<\/b>\u00a0are among the Big Banks listed as being tentacles of this enormous, financial crime syndicate. Note that the latter names on that list are deceased, (supposed) \u201ccasualties\u201d of the Crash of \u201908. But with all of these financial tentacles part of a single whole; this proves that the bail-outs which came after that event, and even the crash itself were pure fraud.<\/p>\n<p>All of these financial losses were\u00a0<i>internal<\/i>: one tentacle of the crime syndicate (supposedly) \u201closing money\u201d to another tentacle of the same entity, meaning they were just phony, paper-losses which never really existed. The tentacle on the receiving end of the \u201closses\u201d was enriched by that amount, meanwhile the tentacle on the losing end was indemnified via (fraudulent) taxpayer-funded \u201cbail-outs\u201d.
