David Webb is trying to find out and explains what he knows in the book, "The Great Taking."
A quick summary by Doug Casey reads like this:
You Already Own Nothing
Webb’s book illustrates, among other things, how changes in the Uniform Commercial Code converted asset ownership into a security entitlement. The “entitlement” designation made personal property a mere contractual claim. The “entitled” person is a “beneficial” owner, but not the legal one.
In the event a financial institution is insolvent, the legal owner is the “entity that controls the security with a security interest.” In essence, client assets belong to the banks. But it’s much worse than that. This isn’t simply a matter of losing your cash to a bank bail-in. The entire financial system has been wired for a controlled demolition.
Webb describes in detail how the trap was set, and how the Great Depression provides precedent. In 1933, FDR declared a “Bank Holiday.” By executive order, banks were closed. Later, only those approved by the Fed were allowed to reopen.
Thousands of banks were left to die. People with money in those disfavored institutions lost all of it, as well as anything they’d financed (houses, cars, businesses) that they now couldn’t pay for. Then, a few “chosen” banks consolidated all the assets in the system.

Maybe, at most, a week long. He expected an immediate regime change and then surrender.
Remember the Sand People? Those primitive Houthis? The US spent $7 billion bombing the Houthis over about 6-7 weeks and failed to degrade the Houthis’ ability to attack with missiles.
The problem with Iran is much worse. This week, the US and Israel may burn through the last offensive and defensive munitions, including interceptors. Will Iran surrender at that point, or escalate with their larger arsenal of missiles?
If you are not praying for Pete Hegseth, you should be.
In the Iran war, expert estimates point to America's high-intensity operations being sustainable for roughly a week total (so potentially another 3–5 days from early March 2.
Multiple outlets (Bloomberg, Fortune, WSJ, Politico) report that stocks could run dangerously low "within days" if Iran's current barrage intensity continues.
So, in a few days, will America surrender? Or try to negotiate a cease fire? Perhaps a cease fire. But Iran will not give America that chance to re-arm.
What will Iran's BRICS allies counsel Iran to do? What will 56 other Islamic nations counsel Iran to do?
...And Iran still has plenty of missiles and concealed missile launchers. What will be the terms of a US surrender? And what will a defeat in the Iran war do to the Republican party in 2026 and 2028?
"When the U.S. military’s top general laid out the risks to President Trump of launching a major and extended attack on Iran, one of the issues he flagged was America’s stockpile of munitions.
"Now that is being put to the test, as the U.S. races to destroy Iran’s missile and drone force before it runs out of interceptors to fend off Tehran’s retaliation, current and former officials and analysts say."
