Confessions of an Economic Hitman

John Perkins - Confessions of an Economic Hit Man

More from Democracy Now - another interview with John Perkins

Listen to John Perkins, who confesses to convincing Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iran, Indonesia and others to cut sinister deals with the US government and US companies to the detriment of their own populations.

The World Bank gives huge loans to Third World countries that are impossible to pay back. Those loans are to be spent contracting US firms (like Halliburton) to build infrastructure in their countries. This is payola. It is against the values of the free world that the US, UK and others purport to represent.

Do yourselves the favour and set aside the time to listen to him speak.
