VIDEO: "I was economic hitman"
John Perkins, economist, himself says that his life was more like the life of James Bond than a businessman. He is the author of the book "Confessions of economic hit man" in which he describes his work for the U.S. secret service NSA and global corporations. During 80-ies of the last century was present in almost all Third World countries that are rich in resources, trying to destabilize their economies and the they do the American colonies. On several occasions they threatened him, trying to prevent publication of a book, but he finally decided to release after 11.9.2001. and attacks on the World Trade Centre towers. Soon after he came out, the book reached the top spot on the bestseller page http://www.amazon.com/, and long remained among the ten best-selling. Despite U.S. and international mainstream media do not give him a lot of airtime.
Shortly after he graduated in management from Boston, the 70-ies recruited by the NSA's. His mentor was certain Claudine, a woman he admired, and that it was misled in any respect. She explained to him the rules of the game - once you enter, you can not get out more. Until then, shy with women and eager life, as he says - intoxicated by the three drugs of modern man - sex, money and power, accepted the conditions. After nine months of training with other economic hit man in the Amazon has been employed in the Chas T. Maine, a global construction firm with 2000 employees and headquarters in Boston. The company is led by a building, although it did not have any equipment, nor is it something really built. Directly was not an employee of the U.S. government, but it paid consulting firms to be financed from the budget. His job was to go to the land rich in resources and false statistics and bribing local politicians to convince them that the loan from the World Bank only logical and possible solution. The country would benefit from a loan to pay for American corporations that would then be extracted and resources. Ninety percent of the money received from the loan would end up in the U.S., and the remaining ten percent would benefit only the richest in the country. The principle was very simple, the new state would try to sanction the existing debt, and would soon be forced to pay the debts of the resources necessary to the U.S.. Thus, Ecuador today more than 50 percent of its annual budget is spent on returning the loan.

Countries designated as the target of U.S. corporations and intelligence services, passing through three phases of colonization. The first stage is sending economic hitmen. If they fail, followed by "jackals." Jackals usually work for the Australian and British off-shore companies that have contracts with the State Department, therefore, indirectly on the payroll of the U.S. government. Jackals are mostly former soldiers, members of elite units. The main goal is to overthrow the government they're trying to perform in two ways. The first attempt to enter a turmoil and strife in the nation for the purpose of the revolution and moving the existing government. If this is impracticable, jackals have the task to assassinate the ruling politicians who disagree with American presence in that country. In this way killed the presidents of Panama and Ecuador. If even the jackals fail, as happened in Iraq, following a military invasion and war.
Perkins was on his first mission sent to Indonesia. At the end of the Vietnam War, when the defeat of the United States was evident, Americans have had to strengthen its influence in the region. Indonesia has, in addition to its oil wealth and the country with the highest Muslim population in the world. Muslim is the opinion of the former top U.S. policy-in particular should keep an eye on the strategic interests of America was to preserve the country from communist influence. Muslims are the principal and does not believe in borrowing money and as such destroy a system that America is trying to establish. Perkins goal in Indonesia was the country's borrowing for the purpose of building electrical systems. The American expedition sent to that country only he was an economic hit man. The ruling in Indonesia has managed to lie about the growth of electrical systems from 17 percent a year to convince to take a loan from the World Bank. It is predicted real growth of 6 to 8 percent, as Indonesians presented one of his colleagues who was soon released. Perkins was able to his own purpose, Indonesia has become a hostage to its debt and U.S. policy, and he performed the task after he was promoted to chief all economic sectors of Main.
The next three to four years John Perkins spent the most in Panama and Iran, but also in Colombia, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia. Recruited new employees and expanding network of employees. Most employees did not know the final goal of the plan, but they became the most promising economic and paid killers were familiar with every detail of their activities. For such companies there are economists, lawyers and psychologists, whose only goal was to convince these people that what they are doing correctly and morally. The companies were each known individual weak point of character. Perkins have got over the fatal Claudine, because they know that is very shy with women and shiftless, and that will fall under its influence. The true results of their work were aware of and leading people in the NSA, CIA, global corporations, U.S. government and the World Bank, which gave loans.
The effect of economic hitmen, the jackals and the U.S. military is part of the global U.S. policy. It transcends the partisan divide in this country, Republicans and Democrats. NSA and CIA interest in the smooth conduct of American corporations and big business no matter which option is in the U.S. in power. Corporations, after their invasion in a particular country, the inhabitants are entirely dependent on the minimum wage, which they give. After 20 or more years when all resources have been exhausted, leaving companies and residents leaving the country without any perspective. Americans, who make up 5 percent of the world's population consumes a quarter of the world's resources, while at the same time each day 24 000 people die of hunger. One percent of Americans control 90 percent of American fourth and resources, while every day 30 000 children die of curable diseases. Sam Perkins says that, while not changing the global politics, regardless of the number of guards, the Americans will not be sure at the airports.
