Corporate Links
National City Company
NCC was the syndicated brokerage front for William Rockefeller
and JP Morgan from 1910 to 1935, when Congress forced the breakup
of the company. NCC was linked directly to National City Bank
(now called CitiBank). NCC Held Proxy control of hundreds of the
largest Corporations in the U.S. directly or via Electric Bond &
Share Group. William Rockefeller allied himself with J.P. Morgan
(General Electric & its retirement fund -- Electric Bond & Share
Group). JP Morgan had extenisive connections to to the
Rothschildes.
In 1901 Ed Harriman, a Kuhn & Loeb partner bought control of
Southern Pacific. One of Harriman's first acts was to transfer
Wells Fargo Bank to IWW Hellman a protege of the Rothchildes.
N.W. Halsey, the first CEO of PG&E organized the merger process
that led to the creation of PG&E in 1906. National City Bank was
the bank of record for PG&E. Upon the breakup of NCC in 1935 A
Hockenbeamer, the President of PG&E transfered syndicated control
of PG&E from NCC to Lazzard Freres (the syndicated brokerage
front for the Rothchildes ).
S Russell ex-VP of NCC states in 1919 that the PG&E is
controlled by NCC. During 1939 federal hearings investigating
syndicated brokerages and the links to holding companies a
witness from Blythe Co stated under oath that NCC had control of
PG&E from 1919 to 1939."

1924 Battle for PG&E - North America Co Vs. Standard Gas & Electric Co"
In the mid 20's a tactic was devised by Standard Gas &
Electric to gain controlling interest over PG&E. The means to do
this was through PG&E's primary electric competitor in Northern
California Great Western Power. SG&E started buying up companies
boarding PG&E with the plan to get Great Western, with the goal
of then merging it with PG&E in an exchange of stock. However,
the North America Co. CEO hears of the plan and without asking
his board, uses his connections to immediately pu
eat Western the day before SG&E in 1925. Upon failure to get Great Western SG&E dumps all of its California purchases. In 1930 Great Western finally merges with PG&E, giving NAC "
