In 2023 a book was released called the Great Taking, detailing a grand conspiracy to steal all of our assets in the coming financial crisis. The story goes that over the past 50 years property rights have been quietly and secretly usurped. Replacing the legal ownership of our securities with a subordinated from of ownership called a ‘securities entitlement’.

Whilst sounding to outrageous to be true, this really is a case of the truth being far stranger (and more terrifying) than fiction. Enter the DTCC and their subsidiary CEDE & CO – the legal owner of 99% of all US securities.

How is this possible? Surely this cannot be the case. If it were we really would be being set up to truly own nothing…and be miserable. Join us as we uncover the formation of the most dangerous corporation on planet earth, the Depositories Trust and Clearing Corporation. Who are they and how did they come to own everything, and just what on earth do they plan to do with all of it.

More to the point, is there anything we can do about this wicked plot, to regain our property rights and ensure that we do not go down with the ship in the coming event that will forever be known as The Great Taking? In episode 30 we go deep into the rabbit hole to find out. Buckle up, this one is going to be a bumpy ride.
