Thats not really suprising, this isn't the type of market you can just jump into and start up a company, when the entertainment business started, you had a lot who started out and many failed, then your left with a few with pretty much a monopoly on the business so its impossible to put any more players in the game. its like tryna start a fast food chain right now, good luck. its all economics...

VIVENDI UNIVERSAL: INDUSTRIAL VAMPIRES
by jehvon buckner

If you read Neely Fuller's, The United Independent Compensatory Code/System/Concept and Francess Cress Welsing's, The Isis Papers, you would be familiar with the 9 Areas of People Activity. Those areas consist of economics, education, entertainment, labor, law, politics, sex, religion and war. When studyin' global white supremacy — which is maintained by the Illuminati — we find they basically have it locked down. So that we didn't fall into the namin' the culprit "they" while never tellin' you WHO SPECIFICALLY, we did futher research and found that there is such a company that is in the final stages of virtually sewin' up many of the 9 Areas.

The company's name is Vivendi Universal. Vivendi is the worldz largest record company, which ownz Uinversal Music Group and Universal Studios, as well as 51% in the European pay-TV provider, Canal. Among other thingz in other fieldz, they have sister divisionz in Vivendi Environment, which dealz in water, air, waste and soil; Vivendi Publishing — where they own over 800,000 copyrighted catalogz such as Louis Armstrong, Chuck Berry, John Coltrane, Ella Fitzgerald, The Four Tops, Marvin Gaye, Jimi Hendrix, Billie Holiday, Jackson5, Bob Marley, Smokey Robinson, The Supremes and the Temptationz; Vivendi Internet and Vivendi Telecom.

"...Vivendi ownz Interscope Recordz? Well, who owned it before Vivendi? Edgar Bronfman. Who's he? His Pops is a notorious member of the Illuminati's 2nd chapter, Skull & Bones, who also ownz the Seagrams alcohol and liquor corporation. Bronfman is responsible for the creation of the rap group, NWA (Niggaz WIth an Attitude), y'kno, Ice Cube, Dre, MC Ren and 'em. It was Bronfman who created Interscope who also funded Suge Knights, Death Row Recordz. His creation of "gangsta rap" was the vital element used to silence the ever-growing conscious Hiphop..."

Back to the music, they own labelz Interscope Geffen A&M, Island Def Jam Music Group, MCA, Mercury, Motown, Universal and the recently acquired MP3.com.

Just this past May they bought MP3 for $372million in cash and stock 8 months after beatin' them in court. Yo, these muthafuckaz go for the juggler yo! It was reported by NBC News that the transaction was "friendly" but it's hard to believe it was when just last year the 2 companeez were rivalz. Of the 5 major record companeez that sued MP3 over copyright violationz, Vivendi was the only that refused to settle before the case went to trial.

September of 2000, a federal judge in New York awared Universal Music Group judgement that could have reached as much as $250million. 2 months later, MP3 agreed to pay the company $53.4million.

Now, any idiot can see the power move Vivendi did by refusing to settle out of court. They simply paid their debt only if they agreed to sell themselves to the devil —oops, them. They basically gave them an option, either join them file bankruptcy!!

What makes Vivendi a vital force to be studied, let's look at one of their premiere shareholderz. Remember I mentioned Vivendi ownz Interscope Recordz? Well, who owned it before Vivendi? Edgar Bronfman.

Who's he? His Pops is a notorious member of the Illuminati's 2nd chapter, Skull & Bones, who also ownz the Seagrams alcohol and liquor corporation. Bronfman is responsible for the creation of the rap group, NWA (Niggaz WIth an Attitude), y'kno, Ice Cube, Dre, MC Ren and 'em. It was Bronfman who created Interscope who also funded Suge Knights, Death Row Recordz. His creation of "gangsta rap" was the vital element used to silence the ever-growing conscious Hiphop that KRS, X-Clan, Brand Nubians, Tribe and Public Enemy was doin'.

Not too long ago Bronfman bought Russell Simmons, DefJam label as well. Hence, Simmons weak-ass, VIP-only Hiphop Summit last June!

But shit get's deeper...see, when I heard Bronfman didn't own Interscope anymore, I didn't think nothin' 'bout it. But then I kept hearin' Vivendi, so I looked them up and what did I find?

Both Bronfman Sr. and Jr. are on the Executive Committee AND Board of Directorz. On top of that, as far as shares, the Bronfman clan has the highest percentage of capital stock held of any single owner at 7.55%, also givin' them 8.14% of voting rights.

This is profound because just like all other Illiminati clicks, they never sell any of their companeez, they simple transfer them to themselves under different names makin' it somewhat difficult to keep a trace on them.

Havin' 8.14% of voting rights may not seem much to you but it is, because that allowz them to be in control of some serious decisionz in the music/entertainment industry, namely the unknown fact that they plan to invest 7 more yearz in this bling-bling, nursery rhyme rap shit!! Stay tuned, and not to HOT97!! MORE FIRE!!!

YOU MAY THINK ONE RECORD COMPANY IS COMPETING WITH ANOTHER BUT IN REALITY THEY ARE BOTH FUNDED BY THE SAME SOURCE............

Well thats the market trick. They own the same thing but compets. I would do it too.

I read news stuff all the time, but i still keep an open end where i dont believe any of it. It is mostly useful information tho.
