Do “the Jews” Really Rule The World? A critical analysis of Proof-of-Weapons Network Narratives

Jul 24, 2025
 

Hey hey Bitcoin Wealth Builders,

If you’ve studied my work on the Proof-of-Weapons Network, you know that a key tactic for engineering war is the weaponization of religion. The intelligence apparatus—MI6, Mossad, the CIA—act like Hollywood directors, creating a movie with a hero and a villain to recruit an army and justify a conflict. This allows the factions of the network—the military, financial, and technical industrial complexes—to profit.

Lately, I’m seeing a resurgence of an old narrative used to create a villain: the idea that "the Jews control the world". This is deeply rooted in historical roles that were weaponized by the Nazis and are being revived today amidst the ongoing genocide in Palestine.

Let me make one thing absolutely clear before we begin.

This is not a blog that protects criminals, radical Zionists, or corrupt power brokers—no matter what ethnicity, religion, or ideology they claim. When a Jewish individual or Zionist organization has committed crimes—financial, political, or violent—I believe they should be exposed and held accountable like anyone else. 

No exceptions.

But I also refuse to traffic in lazy, outdated tropes that blame an entire people for the actions of some.

This is not about political correctness—it’s about strategic clarity. The idea that “the Jews control banking, media, and global politics” is not just inaccurate—it’s a designed distraction that shields the true power structures operating behind the scenes.

This blog is for those who want to go deeper—to identify the real networks of influence, the economic systems that fund oppression, and the actors who exploit ethnic division to deflect from their own empire-building.

I reject:

  • Zionism as a colonial project built on dispossession.
  • Islamophobia and antisemitism as twin weapons of misdirection, but also as a tool for censorship and to shut down genuine debate.
  • And the lie that criticizing Israel or Jewish billionaires is the same as hating Jews.

I stand with Palestinians, with truth-seeking Jews, and with anyone calling out imperialism, militarism, and monetary enslavement—wherever it hides.

This is not about defending anyone.

It’s about exposing everyone who deserves it—especially the ones hiding behind others.

I only care about the truth. If it were true today, I’d say so. But while factions of power are definitely controlled by those who identify as Jewish, the idea that the entire power system is controlled by Jewish people is not the full story; in fact, it’s a way of hiding the real power structure.

To get to the bottom of this, I want to share the research of New World Wealth, who did a data-driven analysis to answer the question of wealth ownership. This blog will synthesize his findings with my own framework so we can put an end to this debate and focus on the real enemy.

 

Debunking the Myth: A Look at the Numbers

The narrative that Jews "own everything" falls apart when you look at the actual data on global wealth:

  • Global Wealth: Christians own 55% of global wealth. People with no religion own 35%. Muslims own 6%. Jews own just 1%.
  • Billionaires: Out of 2,668 billionaires in the world, about 267 are Jewish. That’s roughly 10%, meaning 90% are not Jewish. Billionaires are overwhelmingly from Christian, secular, and East Asian backgrounds. The top publicly disclosed billionaires (e.g., Elon Musk, Bernard Arnault, Jeff Bezos, Mukesh Ambani) are not Jewish
  • Millionaires: According to Wealth-X and New World Wealth data Jews make up approximately 2% of the world’s millionaires. Muslims make up around 7% of the world’s millionaires.
  • Income: 24% of religious Jews in the US and 21% of secular Jews earn over $200,000/year—a higher ratio than the general population, but far from elite dominance. 47% of American Jews earn $50,000 or less per year, placing them squarely in the middle class, just like about 50% of all Americans.
  • Investment Capital: When looking at faith-based investment organizations, Christian-aligned capital totaled around $260 billion. In contrast, Muslim sovereign and private finance capital totaled a whopping $4 trillion, while Jewish-aligned capital was only around $16 billion.

The numbers simply don't support the claim of total financial domination.

 

Projected Shifts Since 2015

Though no comprehensive global follow-up has been conducted since the above study in 2015, the trendlines are clear:

  • Muslim-majority economies (e.g., Gulf states, Indonesia, Turkey) have grown, pushing Muslim global wealth closer to an estimated 8–10%.
  • Christian-majority Western nations (especially the U.S. and Europe) have seen relative economic decline, though they still hold the largest share.
  • The unaffiliated/secular population—mostly from China, Japan, and Korea—continues to absorb wealth as tech and industrial power rises in the East.
  • India’s rise has translated into increasing global wealth share for Hindus.
  • Meanwhile, Jewish wealth, though still influential in U.S. and Israeli finance/media/tech circles, is shrinking in relative global terms.

 

What This Tells Us About Power?

Power follows wealth. Wealth follows population and productivity. Jews, while historically prominent in finance, are no longer dominant in terms of global ownership or influence. The center of gravity is moving—toward Asia, the Muslim world, and secular technocracies.

 

So Who Really Controls the Banks, Big Tech, and Media?

The more sophisticated argument is that it’s not about total wealth, but about equity control of key sectors. But this narrative also collapses under scrutiny.

  • The Banks: The idea of Jewish control over banking is based on a history when the Christian church prohibited lending at interest, a role that Jewish financiers then filled. Today, the reality is vastly different. Half of the top 10 biggest banks in the world are in China. Major Western banks like JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo are predominantly owned by institutional investors—namely
    BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street. Individual ownership is a tiny fraction of the whole.
  • Big Tech: The story is the same for the "Magnificent 7" (Nvidia, Alphabet (Google), Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft). While there are prominent Jewish founders with significant shareholdings, like at Google and Meta, these companies are all majority-owned by a vast "ocean of institutional investors". A CEO or founder, regardless of their background, is ultimately subordinate to the shareholders.
  • Media: The largest U.S. media conglomerates—including AT&T, Comcast, Disney, News Corp, Fox, and Sony—are publicly traded and majority-owned by institutional investors such as mutual funds and pension funds, not individuals. This means ownership is broadly distributed among anonymous, mostly non-Jewish stakeholders. Out of roughly 14–15 billionaires with significant individual media holdings (e.g., local and national newspapers, radio stations, TV networks), only 5 are Jewish. For example, Comcast and Disney have prominent Jewish investors, but AT&T’s largest shareholder is not Jewish, Sony is Japanese-owned, and Fox and News Corp are controlled by the non-Jewish Murdoch family.
  • Military-Industrial Complex: The largest global arms manufacturers—such as Lockheed Martin, Raytheon (RTX), Northrop Grumman, Boeing, General Dynamics, and BAE Systems—are all publicly traded companies with majority institutional ownership. Their top shareholders are asset managers like Vanguard, BlackRock, and State Street again, none of which are Jewish-owned entities. While some individual Jewish investors may hold minor stakes, there are no Jewish individuals among the top shareholders or executives of these companies. For example, Lockheed Martin’s largest shareholders are Vanguard and BlackRock; Boeing’s are the same; Raytheon’s executive leadership and board are non-Jewish, mostly former US military and government officials.

Many of these publicly traded companies rely on lobbying power, government connections, and technocratic influence—not religious affiliation—to secure lucrative contracts from the US government who borrows it and you pay in higher prices and tax.

 

Lobby Power: Who Really Shapes US Policy?

Yes, pro-Israel & Jewish lobbying exists. But it is one in a powerful lobbying ecosystem.

Firstly understand that it serves everyone’s interests to pretend that the Jewish lobby is more powerful than it actually is. 

For the lobbyists themselves, this illusion of influence is profitable—it allows them to market their services as highly effective within Jewish communities, attracting more donations, prestige, and financial support. 

For politicians and the public, it offers a convenient scapegoat: instead of taking responsibility for deeply entrenched policies shaped by military contracts, geopolitical strategy, and corporate lobbying, they can simply point the finger at the so-called “all-powerful Jewish lobby.” This narrative benefits both sides—one profits from it, the other hides behind it.

 

What the “Jewish Lobby” Actually Is

What’s often referred to as the “Jewish lobby” or “Zionist lobby” is a collection of pro-Israel and Jewish advocacy organizations, such as:

  • AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee)
  • J Street
  • Several smaller PACs and nonprofits promoting Jewish or Israeli interests

Together, these organizations contributed approximately $30 million to US political campaigns in the 2023–2024 cycle. 

This includes campaign donations, lobbying efforts, and politicalh influence operations.

In the same cycle:

  • Saudi Arabia and the UAE spent $100 million on lobbying the US government—over three times more than the combined Jewish lobby.
  • Other regional players like Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey also spend heavily to influence US foreign policy.

If influence is measured by money, Muslim-majority nations outspend Jewish organizations.

 

The Real Kingmakers: The Defense Lobby

In 2023–2024, US defense corporations spent $149 million on lobbying alone. That’s five times more than all pro-Israel/Jewish groups combined.

And their power doesn’t stop with money. The “revolving door” between government and military contractors ensures influence at every level:

  • Over 600 former U.S. officials now work as defense lobbyists.
  • These companies shape policy through lobbying, campaign donations, strategic leaks, and think tank funding.
  • They push for continued foreign military aid, arms sales, and geopolitical tensions that keep the weapons cycle alive—including US support for Israel.

 

What’s Really Driving US Policy?

It’s not ethnicity or religion—it’s lobbying capital, military strategy, and corporate profit.

No—Jews do not control US political policy. They are one group among many trying to shape it.

The real power lies with:

  • Defense contractors
  • Pharmaceutical giants
  • Foreign governments
  • Corporate trade groups
  • Asset managers and lobbying firms

 

What About the IMF, World Bank, and BIS?

Let’s look at the IMF, World Bank, and BIS — the holy trinity of post-war global finance.

BIS: Central Bank of Central Banks with a Dark Past

The Bank for International Settlements (BIS), founded in 1930, originally managed German reparations after WWI, but quickly became the central bank to central banks. During WWII, it infamously maintained financial operations with Nazi Germany — including handling looted gold — while also working with Allied powers. It was never held accountable. Instead, it was quietly folded into the postwar order and today remains largely unaccountable, operating with sovereign immunity and owned by the central banks of over 60 countries.

But here’s the catch: many of those central banks — including the U.S. Federal Reserve—are partially owned by private commercial banks, which themselves are publicly traded. So while the BIS isn’t “privately owned” in the traditional sense, its network is deeply entangled with private banking interests that ultimately answer to major asset managers.

IMF and World Bank: Instruments of U.S. Geopolitical Finance

Both institutions were created at Bretton Woods in 1944—a conference dominated by Western powers, particularly the United States. To this day, the US maintains veto power at the IMF, and the head of the World Bank has always been an American, appointed by the U.S. President.

These institutions lend to nations in crisis, but their loans come with strings: austerity, privatization, and open-door policies for Western corporate interests. In practice, the IMF and World Bank often function as financial enforcers for US-aligned capital, not neutral development agencies. Their role in post-conflict states—whether Iraq, Ukraine, or Africa after Cold War proxy wars—is often to restructure economies in ways that benefit Wall Street and Washington.

Are there powerful Jewish individuals within or around these institutions? 

Yes. 

But these are individual actors within the much larger, US-centric systems. Blaming them obscures the structural reality: the Proof-of-Weapons Network, not an ethno-religious cabal, controls these levers of power.

 

The Fed and the Asset Managers Behind It All

The Federal Reserve itself—often portrayed as a public institution—is owned by a network of regional reserve banks, which are in turn owned by private commercial banks. Those commercial banks are majority-owned by institutional investors like BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street—the same asset managers who dominate ownership across Big Tech, Big Pharma, and the military-industrial complex.

This creates a self-reinforcing feedback loop: the Fed holds assets and controls interest rates, commercial banks lend it, and asset managers own the banks—all while lobbying Washington and steering capital allocation across the globe.

These firms are not ideologically Jewish. They are structurally capitalist. Their loyalty is not to Torah or Talmud—it’s to quarterly returns, stock performance, and shareholder supremacy. In fact, the entire model of modern corporate governance subordinates even the CEOs to this structure.

Share options. Control.

 

Who Owns BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street?

Once you recognize that BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street sit at the top of the modern financial pyramid—owning controlling stakes in nearly every major bank, tech company, defense contractor, and media conglomerate—the next logical question becomes: who owns them?

This is where the trail becomes more obscure — and where myths often step in to fill the gaps. Some claim these firms are part of a closed-loop “secret elite” with hidden agendas. Others default to familiar scapegoats, suggesting that “Jews own BlackRock.” But again, the truth is structural, not ethnic.

Let’s look closer.

BlackRock: The World’s Largest Asset Manager

BlackRock manages over $10 trillion in assets. It owns major stakes in nearly every publicly traded company, including its peers: Vanguard and State Street.

But BlackRock itself is a publicly traded company (NYSE: BLK). Its top shareholders are— ironically—Vanguard and State Street. In fact, the same triad of firms own significant shares in each other, creating a web of cross-ownership that makes it nearly impossible to draw a straight line of control.

As of current filings:

  • Vanguard owns ~8% of BlackRock
  • State Street owns ~4%
  • Other institutional shareholders include Capital Group, Fidelity, and T. Rowe Price

This means the owners of BlackRock are other asset managers and mutual funds — themselves owned by millions of passive investors, pension funds, and retirement accounts.

Vanguard: The Black Box

Unlike BlackRock, Vanguard is not publicly traded. It is structured as a mutual company, meaning it’s “owned” by the funds it operates—and therefore by its investors. On paper, that sounds democratic. In practice, it’s opaque.

No public shareholders, no board answerable to external investors, and no transparency about internal decision-making or concentration of voting power. While technically “owned by its customers,” Vanguard manages over $9 trillion and votes on behalf of investors — not with them.

So while no single person “owns” Vanguard, its voting power is centralized among a small executive circle who determine how shares in thousands of companies are voted—including decisions on war contracts, surveillance, censorship, and financial system design.

State Street: The Quiet Partner

State Street, while smaller (around $4 trillion AUM), plays a similar role. It’s publicly traded (NYSE: STT), and its largest shareholders are—once again—Vanguard and BlackRock. This further closes the loop, reinforcing the mutual ownership triad where the Big Three own parts of each other and collectively vote on behalf of their underlying clients.

 

So Who Really Owns the Proof-of-Weapons Network?

It’s not a single person. Not a single family. Not a religion. What we’re looking at is a consolidated power structure, where:

  • Asset managers own the companies
  • Passive investors own the asset managers
  • But only a few entities control the voting power and strategic direction.

This is decentralized ownership, centralized control—the illusion of public markets and capitalism masking a deeply concentrated architecture of power, with no democratic oversight.

That’s why blaming “the Jews” — or any group—for global finance misses the mark entirely. It’s not about ethnicity. It’s about a system that has evolved to be self-preserving, self-referential, and entirely aligned with the interests of the Proof-of-Weapons Network: endless growth, endless war, and endless asset accumulation.

 

My Final Thoughts: The Real Power Structure

The data is clear. 

The narrative that "Jews rule banking" is an outadeted distraction. It’s an old script being recycled to misdirect our attention from the real controllers of the Proof-of-Weapons Network.

The true power today does not lie with any religious or ethnic group. As my work has shown the top of the power structure is the network of asset managers like 

BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard. These firms control the largest share positions in virtually every major public company across every critical industry—from the big banks and tech giants to the military and pharmaceutical complexes.

These institutions are not driven by a religious agenda; they are driven by the need to meet quarterly returns for their shareholders, with the top of the power structure being the US stock market. 

In the modern corporate model, CEOs and executives are completely subordinate to their shareholders. Their one and only agenda is to pursue profit. Shareholders are fluid and charge as wealth dynamics change. Wealth is moving and the demographic behind that wealth is not dominated by Jews. 

Focusing on an ancient and divisive stereotype allows this real power structure to remain hidden in plain sight. It weaponizes hate to keep us from seeing the truth. Without truth, there can be no peace. It’s time to stop barking down the wrong tree and focus on the real architects of the system.

The structure of money itself and the debt based Ponzi scheme that I call the proof-of-weapons network.

 

Conclusion: Jewish Power is one power—but real power is the Proof of Weapons Network

Let’s set the record straight once and for all: Israel does not control the United States.

That myth — the idea that a small Jewish state manipulates the most powerful empire in human history—is not only false, it’s a strategic decoy.

The real machinery of global dominance is the Proof of Weapons Network: a transnational alliance of defense contractors, technocratic institutions, intelligence operators, and empire architects that use military, financial, and digital levers to extract compliance from allies and adversaries alike.

The United States’ support for Israel is not driven by religious loyalty or Jewish lobbying. It’s driven by the cold logic of empire.

AIPAC: A Convenient Smokescreen

AIPAC is not a foreign agent. It doesn’t receive money from the Israeli state. Its donors are American billionaires, many with heavy stakes in weapons manufacturers like Lockheed Martin and Raytheon. These individuals are not acting out of ideological Zionism — they’re acting out of economic self-interest.

If this were truly about faith or historical solidarity, we’d see massive investment in Israeli civil society — hospitals, cultural preservation, humanitarian aid. But we don’t. We see top-down policy manipulation, because that’s what profits. And now that Israel’s economy is crumbling, exports collapsing, and FDI evaporating, even those billionaires are quietly backing away.

Because Zionism, to them, is not sacred. It’s strategic.

The U.S. Uses Israel, Not the Other Way Around

Let’s stop pretending Israel is the puppeteer. It’s the proxy.

A settler colony used to justify morally reprehensible acts — like occupation, apartheid, and ethnic cleansing — without America getting its hands dirty.

AIPAC exists to obscure the real chain of command. It allows Washington to deny involvement while engineering conflict for defense industry profit and geopolitical control. And when the costs outweigh the benefits? The same system that used Israel will discard it, wrap itself in moral outrage, and turn the narrative.

It’ll say, “We tried to help the Jews, but they corrupted us.”

That’s already happening. Look at Trump’s rhetoric. Look at shifting U.S. sentiment. It’s a scripted fall from grace — written not by Tel Aviv, but by Langley, Foggy Bottom, and the Pentagon.

 

Where I Stand

I reject the myth of Jewish global control. Jewish power is just one part of a global power structure.

I reject Zionism as a colonial ideology built on displacement, genocide and apartheid.

I stand firmly with Palestine, and with any people resisting imperialism.

The truth is messy. 

It’s uncomfortable. 

But it’s necessary.

The US does not act out of loyalty. 

It acts out of leverage. 

And Israel is just one lever on a much bigger board.

What controls U.S. foreign policy is not an ethnic conspiracy.

It is a weapons-based global order fueled by fiat money, debt dependency, and manufactured conflict.

That is the Proof of Weapons Network.

And I will continue exposing it—no matter who it implicates.

Zionism is one of those power structures that serves US military-industrial complex interests and needs exposing. The money flows back to US corporations listed on the US stock market, controlled by wealth that constantly rotates through CEOs who are subordinate to shareholders. These shareholders collectively prop up the dollar debt-backed Ponzi scheme for banks and other members of the proof-of-weapons network that perpetuate debt slavery to increase their share price and America gets to grow its stock market value whilst those that don’t own the shares suffer the inflation and are in effect slaves to the network.

So-called Jewish power has its roots in banking and usury—usury that so-called Christian leaders needed for war, which they outsourced to Jewish bankers in a marriage of convenience. But Jewish power is only one faction of the power structure.

Central bankers used this strategy to enslave the world in a debt-based Ponzi scheme.

But the Ponzi scheme serves those who own the shares. As wealth changes hands, control changes too, as it has today. There are new rising powers and declining empires, which will shift wealth and control globally.

Those who control these companies are not America-first, UK-first, or Israel-first—they are profit-first. If your ideology does not align with the profit consensus of competing interests at the top of share ownership, you may find yourself on an Epstein list, presented with an offer you can’t refuse, or—at its extreme—meeting the same fate as JFK, who tried to stop the flow of weapons and lobbying money to the proof-of -weapons network.
