confession of an economic hitman
John Perkins goes on to write: “I was persuaded to stop writing that book. I started it four more times during the next twenty years. On each occasion, my decision to begin again was influenced by current world events: the U.S. invasion of Panama in 1980, the first Gulf War, Somalia, and the rise of Osama bin Laden. However, threats or bribes always convinced me to stop.”
But now Perkins has finally published his story. The book is titled Confessions of an Economic Hit Man. John Perkins joins us now in our Firehouse studios.
AMY GOODMAN: John Perkins joins us now in our firehouse studio. Welcome to Democracy Now!
JOHN PERKINS: Thank you, Amy. It’s great to be here.
AMY GOODMAN: It’s good to have you with us. Okay, explain this term, “economic hit man,” e.h.m., as you call it.
JOHN PERKINS: Basically what we were trained to do and what our job is to do is to build up the American empire. To bring — to create situations where as many resources as possible flow into this country, to our corporations, and our government, and in fact we’ve been very successful. We’ve built the largest empire in the history of the world.
After reading this Great Book by John Perkins, I can now confirm that the US and the West are out only for their own interests.
Every African MUST read this Book and learn how not to sell their country for the theives of Motherland.
Also, This book makes one understand how to Bring Down a 3rd World/developing country Politically and econmically incl. even assasinating the Pres. (eg R. Hariri murdered by CIA, blamed on the Syrians- when you see all the demos you just pity how bro is forced to hate bro – Just for US interests).
I Highly Recommend it to all who what to Know what is happenning in Kenya: A country democratically elected on ladslide just 3 yrs ago and now since the Govt. refused to renew 40 yr old Tenders to British and US -Eg Kenya Govt prefered to save some cash by NOT buying British(West) LandRovers to now economical Japan-(East) LandCruisers.
It is now a hate camp. the next thing ie next 2 months they want regime change!!
YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT WEEK,MONTH IN THE NEWS!!!David N., Nyeri, Kenya
