John Perkins - Secret Shill for the Neo-Pharisee banksters
John Perkins seems to be living off the reputation he gained by writing the Confessions of an Economic Hit Man in 2004. In that book re revealed truths from his life as an urbane economic terrorist for the US. He revealed in that book how he and others used to threaten newly democratically elected presidents and government leaders in South and Central American and other countries. He also confirms that Hugo Chavez is the real deal and that South America is finally getting its act together and standing up to US threats and pressure. He confirms that trend is continuing, saying that now nine Latin American countries have elected leaders who have rejected US corporate hegemony.
Originally Perkins put the existential reality starkly:
"what would you do if you were a newly elected democratic leader and US economic hitman walked into your office and told you (nicely) tha in one pocket s/he has 200 millions US dollars for you and your family if you renege on your election promises and give the US "corporatocracy" what it wants; AND in the other is "a gun" ie the threat that you and your family will be killed …"
That's a very difficult question to answer …
Perkins just talks matter of factly about how Saddam Hussein was a CIA operative and the US's man who eventually stood up to his "mentors" and all the rest. Not much that's new for those who have been paying attention over the years but probably paradigm shattering and hence unbelievable for the average sleeping beauty. One of the irritating things about trying to tell people (even family) about the reality of the power exercised by US economic imperialism is that they always say
"How do you know that?" or "you just read it on the internet" etc.
At least when someone who represents himself as having done "stuff" and seen other "stuff" appears on video speaking to a crowd (see eg: http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article15830.htm )
it's just that little bit more difficult for people to dismiss it out of hand.
Perkins' summary of how US imperialism escalates its terrorist responses is convincing. Starting with the urbane "hitman" – "iron fist in the velvet glove" - followed by the "jackals" who do the murdering and black ops (when persuasion and sweet reason have failed); and the finale (only when the jackals cannot kill their targets etc as with Noreiga in Panama, Saddam in Iraq and Gaddafi in Libya) – sending in the military to kill and maim everyone in sight.
Having said all that, the charitable view is that Perkins doesn't understand fractional reserve banking and the fact that ultimately it isn't greedy corporations generally that create our fundamental social and environmental problems, it's the banksters! It's no good talking about getting corporations to put people before profit if the banks are squeezing the life out of both the people and the corporations! This has been happening since, at least 1979 when the so-called Washington Consensus formally ushered in the globalisation era which is intended to lay the ground work for the New World Order.
Perkins talks about democratising imperial capitalism and softening the face of what he calls "vulnerable" corporations which he reckons he's pretty good at through organizations like `Rainforest Action Network'. He also talks about ozone change and seems to give Al Gore credit for his stance on CO2 and climate change. I don't think he's right about "transforming" corporations without even being aware of the wider picture; and certainly I can't see how Al Gore's efforts are going to turn back the Earth changes we are experiencing.
Perkins also reckons his associates have had a positive impact on companies like City Corp and Goldman Sachs!? REALLY!? This is where I begin to wonder whether Perkins is genuine – after all he reckons he's been an "economic hitman" so surely he must understand that Central Banks, fiat money creation out of thin air and fractional reserve banking has got the entire world by the throat and so getting banks and others to change some relatively superficial environmental policies like not investing in or using rainforest timber isn't going to save the planet or us at this stage.
Also the transcript of Amy Goodman's interview with John Perkins is worth a read if you are studying these matters. See:
http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=04/11/09/1526251
Be aware though, that Amy Goodman is a Khazar and that what is being discussed is TERRORISM. Calling Perkins an “Economic Hitman” distorts and glamorises TERRORISM.

www.marlboro.edu - Author John Perkins spoke at Marlboro College on 4/23/08. Drawing on experiences described in his two New York Times bestsellers, Perkins describes the post-WWII era as one that created history's first truly global empire -- mostly through economics, rather than the military. Now we find ourselves catapulted toward a future that appears catastrophic to many people; however, in Perkins's view it offers great opportunities. Identifying corporations as "the most influential institutions on the planet," he challenges us to transform ourselves and the companies that so deeply impact our lives. He presents a plan for creating a world "that will make our children proud of us."
John Perkins spent three decades as an Economic Hit Man, business executive, author, and lecturer. He lived and worked in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and North America. Then he made a decision: he would use these experiences to make the planet a better place for his daughters generation. Today he teaches about the importance of rising to higher levels of consciousness, to waking up -- in both spiritual and physical realms -- and is a champion for environmental and social causes.
Ron: I think John Perkins tells much less than half the truth about "TERRAISM". Terrorism is created directly by the Anglo-US-Rothschldlandia complex of terror states which use it as the destabilisation phase of their policy techniques designed to coerce other nations and especially resource rich nations to accept fraudulent bankster (pseudo) finance and corporate rapine and pillage of their human and physical resources. Suggesting that peoples already brutalised by the Anglo-US Israeli corporatist economic empire seek to resist their corporatist oppressors using violence conceals the fact that the initiators of violence are ALWAYS the Anglo-US-Israel triad of corporate terrorist states.
What strikes me particularly about Perkins’ distorted presentations is that he studiously avoids any references to the Rothschild Cabal and the Rockefeller Cartel and effectively pretend that the global conspiracy to enslave humanity is nothing more than a bunch of good hearted but misguided corporate executives (who love their children , blah, blah, blah) pursuing the natural and necessary corporate goal of MAXIMISING PROFITS. Perkins reckons that all that is needed is for us to (metaphorically speaking) all join hands and demand that corporations (which he clearly approves of) should “do better”!
Perkins says his goal is to convince us to go out into the world determined to do the right thing; the practical thing; the pragmatic thing. YEAH RIGHTTT!
Perkins reckons that US democracy would be OK if the electorate was informed about US foreign economic policy. The implication being that the US electoral processes themselves are fine, save for the odd glitch in vote counting. In effect Perkins is shilling for the banksters and the status quo and pretending that his half-axe revelations about what he did 20 years ago can make him a bona fide leader of "the revolution".
If he was just doing this to sell his books that would be bad enough but knowing what he knows he must be deliberately shielding the true global terrorists (the neo-Pharisee banksters) from view. John Perkins is part of the problem.
