This content may be old but it still holds considerable importance. A number of posters such as Kayanation, WorldEx, and Boro along with others have brought up the economic plight many nations are now currently facing with the elevated price in food. This very topic was posted awhile ago but the youtube video discussing its content was down. So here is a reup of the youtube video with the author of the acclaimed book discussing it more in detail.

John Perkins started and stopped writing Confessions of an Economic Hit Man four times over 20 years. He says he was threatened and bribed in an effort to kill the project, but after 9/11 he finally decided to go through with this expose of his former professional life. Perkins, a former chief economist at Boston strategic-consulting firm Chas. T. Main, says he was an "economic hit man" for 10 years, helping U.S. intelligence agencies and multinationals cajole and blackmail foreign leaders into serving U.S. foreign policy and awarding lucrative contracts to American business. "Economic hit men (EHMs) are highly paid professionals who cheat countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars," Perkins writes. Confessions of an Economic Hit Man is an extraordinary and gripping tale of intrigue and dark machinations. Think John Le Carré, except it's a true story.

Other than that, you're absolutely correct. Also another documentary that echoes similar covert economic, militaristic, and social control is

synopsis said:
John Pilger's 2007 documentary explores the historic and current relationship of Washington with countries such as Venezuela, Bolivia and Chile. Pilger claims that the film "...tells a universal story... analyzing and revealing, through vivid testimony, the story of great power behind its venerable myths. It allows us to understand the true nature of the so-called "war on terror". According to Pilger, the film’s message is that the greed and power of empire is not invincible and that people power is always the "seed beneath the snow".

Pilger interviews several ex-CIA agents who purportedly took part in secret campaigns against democratic countries and who he claims are profiting from the war in Iraq. He investigates the School of the Americas in the U.S. state of Georgia, where General Pinochet’s torture squads were reportedly trained along with tyrants and death-squad leaders in Haiti, El Salvador, Brazil and Argentina.

No prob, did you get a chance to see the youtube videos when they were posted in the original thread? When I tried to watch them they wouldn't work at the time.

Yeah it was funny how he ended the interview on a spiritual tip which left the interviewer dumbfounded.:lol:

I'm listening to the second portion of the vid right now, he is droppin colossal gems. I have not checked out the book but I'm well on the way to accomplishing that.
 
Although I disagree with this spiritual awakening the elite will infuse with in their beliefs in the coming years very very good interview. I need to purchase the book. Very good information.

:lol::lol::lol:, he just sighed, said alright and concluded the interview. I'm thinking he was going to give feedback but it never happened.
 
Good that he came clean


Bad that countries and millions of people are suffering because of people like him.

I'm fucking fedup of apologies with no ATONEMENT!!!

Where is the effort to reverse shit if he is really contrite?

I guess it is OK to talk about being sorry while sitting in your house filled with your neighbors stuff you robbed him of.......


:confused::confused::confused:



So i'm dedicating this video to him and people like him, hope you all listen to the end..........

:cool:
 
Great find! Should be required reading in high school alongside History and Govt. Saw him give a talk during a book tour on C-SPAN but this interview was much better.

It's so easy to expand this out to conclude that if it's used and works outside the US then it's also being used and working within the US as well. Drugs and entertainment are definitely being used to control/subdue the masses here. :smh:
 
good thread Smokedacane, was too pissed earlier and forgot to give thanks.............
:yes:

For fellow posters, you can download the youtube videos by going to www.keepvid.com and putting in the video url.

It will save it as a .flv file and it can be opened using VLC player.

You never know if google will pull these videos so its best to save them

:yes::yes::yes:
 
Read Both books in 2 days :lol:.

His second book is Secret History of the American Empire and it goes into more in depth of his job, Africa and Asia.
 
I read this book a couple of years ago. It confirms all your suspicions about the Presidency especially regarding baby Bush and his daddy.
 
I just finished this book, ironically I was just recommending it elsewhere. It's very enlightening, a must read for anyone who's interested in a more worldwide view of the world and not just the American-centric take that we get from our media.
 
those were great links on the video ... sad that the main page with bs threads and porn get more interest this threads like this.

keep up the good work peeps.
