| Description: |
From 1971 to 1981 John Perkins was a prominent member of the top-secret team of “economic hit men” who used fraudulent financial reports, rigged elections, payoffs, extortion, military coups and murder to create the global American empire. Working as an economist for consulting firm, Chas T Main, his job was to structure huge loans to Indonesia, Panama and Saudi Arabia, loans for massive construction projects that would funnel the money back to US contractors, at the cost of national self-sufficiency, independence, and endemic poverty for the vast majority of the local population. Economics--not intelligence--is where the real cloak-and-dagger stuff happens.
