Hoodwinked- Interview with an Economic Hit Man pt.2
Upon the Nov. 10 release of his latest book, "Hoodwinked," Bestselling Author John Perkins (Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, Secret History of the American Empire) joins Carl Gibson to discuss the real reason for the global financial crisis, and steps we can do to make the world more sustainable and socially accountable.
John Perkins was the former Chief Economist for the Chas T. Main Corporation, where he worked to convince heads of state in third world countries to accept massive loans and structural adjustment programs from international banking cartels like the World Bank, International Monetary Fund and USAID.
In his books, Perkins describes the clandestine process of how Economic Hit Men like him helped further what he calls a "global corporatocracy." If his efforts failed, the CIA's jackals would step and assassinate a leader or stage a coup d'etat. Several examples he cites are the assassinations of Mossadegh in Iran and Arbenz in Guatemala (1950s), Pincohet in Chile, Roldos in Ecuador, Torrijos and Noriega in Panama (1970s and 1980s) and numerous others. Perkins says if those steps fail, then the US sends in the military under the guise of "national security," like Panama in 1989, Afghanistan in 2001, and Iraq in 2003. Perkins himself says he was an agent of a global corporate empire until he realized what he was doing was not just nor sustainable, so he has since reformed himself and dedicated his work to getting the truth out.
In this interview, he talks all about how what happened in 2008 in the United States is what has been happening for decades in Latin America, Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
Perkins' first majorly published book, "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man," stayed on the New York Times Bestseller list for 65 weeks. "Hoodwinked" is set to hit stores on Tuesday, Nov. 10. Don't miss this earth-shattering interview on a controversial subject public schools never taught us!
