Confessions of an Economic Hit Man

Confessions of an Economic Hit Man

It is an extraordinary real life tale of exposing corruption and little known government corporate activities that have dire consequences for American democracy and the world. John Perking explains in this book the international intrigue and corruption that is turning the American republic into a global empire despising the number of people around the world. He decided to go public with that story because of the events of 9/11. He realized that he had to take some responsibility for what happened that day. Some of that tremendous anger around the world is due to that empire around the world that US has created the way they exploit people. He thinks that he was certainly part of that empire and setting this up. He realized that he owed it to the American people to come clean on this. Most American believe that foreign aid is primarily ultraistic and in fact the great deal of our foreign aid just goes to making some of our wealthy people even wealthier. ‘Economic Hit Man’ means that Americans are the first one who truly build the global empire and they have done it primarily though cheating developing world and their own American taxpayers with trillions of dollars that was essentially funneling that money from the organizations like World Bank in to the private sectors in to the hands of some very rich people. The most typical way they do this an Economic hit man will identify a developing country that has resources for example oil. They go to that country and arrange for huge loans from World Bank but most of that money never gets to those countries but goes to banks in San Francisco, Huston or Chicago to companies like Halliburton to build big infrastructure projects in developing countries that leaves those countries with huge debt that they can’t never pay. So at some point these Hit Man go back to those countries and say to them that look you owe us lot of money you can’t pay back your debt give us a pound of your flesh. Give us some of your oil for real cheap or provide us land to build our military bases or vote with us in UN for next critical vote. They use this method to create a world empire. This first time an empire has been created largely without a military. This book is another great eye-opener :k:
