Just feel impelled to toss this out --- and strongly encourage everyone to investigate the author, John Perkins, and his book. And while you are at it--- check out Kermit Roosevelt, (1889-1943) the grandson of Theodore Roosevelt.
(Kermit Roosevelt - dead at age 84. Cockeysville, Md., June 8, 2000 )
The intelligence officer who directed the CIA’s 1953 coup in Iran that ousted Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh from power. He was a grandson of Theodore Roosevelt and a distant cousin of Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Confessions of an Economic Hit Man: How the U.S. Uses Globalization
to Cheat Poor Countries Out of Trillions — John Perkins, author
We spend the hour with John Perkins, a former respected member of the
international banking community. In his book Confessions of an
Economic Hit Man he describes how as a highly paid professional, he
helped the U.S. cheat poor countries around the globe out of
trillions of dollars by lending them more money than they could
possibly repay and then taking over their economies.
Twenty years ago Perkins began writing a book with the working title, Conscience of an Economic Hit Man.
Perkins writes, "The book was to be dedicated to the presidents of two countries, men who had been my clients whom I respected and thought of as kindred spirits — Jaime Roldós, president of Ecuador, and Omar Torrijos, president of Panama. Both had just died in fiery crashes. Their deaths were not accidental. They were assassinated because they opposed that fraternity of corporate, government, and banking heads whose goal is global empire. We Economic Hit Men failed to bring Roldós and Torrijos around, and the other type of hit men, the CIA-sanctioned jackals who were always right behind us, stepped in.
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."
