An Economic Hit Man Confesses and Calls to Action | John Perkins | TEDxTraverseCity
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 чер 2016
- John Perkins describes the methods he used to bribe and threaten the heads of state of countries on four continents in order to create a global empire and he reveals how the leaders who did not “play the game" were assassinated or overthrown. He brings us up to date about the way the economic hit man system has spread from developing countries to the US, Europe, and the rest of the world and offers a strategy for turning this around. “Each of us," he says, “can participate in this exciting revolution. We can transform a system that is consuming itself into extinction into one that is sustainable and regenerative."
John's books, including The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, have sold over a million copies, spent more than 70 weeks on the New York Times bestseller lists, and are published in more than 30 languages. As Chief Economist at a major consulting firm, his experiences advising the World Bank, UN, IMF, U.S. government, Fortune 500 corporations, and heads of state convinced him to devote his life to facilitating changes in social, political, and economic systems, as well as in general consciousness. He was founder and CEO of a highly successful alternative energy company and is a founder and board member of Dream Change and The Pachamama Alliance, nonprofits dedicated to creating a sustainable, just, peaceful, and thriving world.
John's courage in writing his books and speaking out against his former bosses exemplifies the courage shown by our Founding Fathers and Mothers when they stood up to the British Empire. Like them, John defied threats and bribes and took action.

When they get old, they start telling the truth. Some old wise man once told me, "Truth always come to light, no matter how late, it will come"
I agree, but when the old are removed from society, repressed, forced into silece, etc... we will never truly learn the truth because it also fades with time and distance
That's because they hope by telling the truth, they might go to heaven without feeling guilty.
@@emilyharkness9685
Society's are the same as any individual. It'll all come to light sooner or later. There's always a record being kept somewhere.
That old wise man was reading his bible.
👍
I'm so glad people are interested in this. Not only did I produce it, but after reading his book, I asked his publicist if he would do this. He was kind and generous of his time.
How come NO ONE ever mentions the BIS bank? Not one.
One of the most interesting stories ( and book ), I ever came across. The story behind the story. Fascinating....and chilling
Thank you very much for making this available. It's just the right length that I can get people to watch it. After they have seen your video then they are more likely to want to read the book and learn more.
Am reading his book right now. Without IMF and Word Bank the world could have been a better place
Not everything this man says is true.
I read his book cover to cover in 2009. I spent along time trying to verify everything.
Some of what he says is true, some is not, and much of it cannot be verified.
I hope you will do your own research before taking it as gospel.
@Max Freeman I'm not in the habbit of keeping track of false and unsubstantiated information. I can tell you whats true and provide refferences to records that prove it.
@Max Freeman testing pdf testing
@Max Freeman Dangit. I don't know what's going on but UA-cam seems to be automatically deleting my replies. I'm going to try posting it one line at a time.
@Max Freeman The most important claim (to anyone that's taken Macroeconomics) that this man makes is that Saudi Arabia will only trade their oil for U.S. Dollars. For the longest time this claim was unsubstantiated and only people that actually buy Saudi Arabian oil in bulk (millions of barrels) would know for sure and so far none of them have spoken up.
Just finished reading his highly compelling book "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" and the next minute I am here. Hardly two minutes ago I ended up reading his remarkable book. I would recommend everyone to read his confessions in his book. The book is more about fixing the current economic system and world order than the past confessions. He has cited countless examples to prove his arguments that how a march to the global empire has become unstoppable and how the system of corporatocracy is exploiting the world resources. One who reads his book can easily understand the role of WB, IMF and USAID in making America a global empire.
Wow! WEF is behind much of what is going on in Ukraine versus Russia. The ethnic cleansing there of Russian type people is so sad.
Wow!!! Really??
........"than the past confessions"........
he certainly doesn't want to implicate himself *too* *much* now does he ??!!!!
🤔😤😡
I deinately agree with you. I understood this for some years now.
I read his book "Confessions of an Economic Hitman"...chilling and deeply depressing. We are the world's rogue nation. We don't have much of a moral base.
Leslie Armstrong True that.
As I have said on this subject, The USA is the new Roman Empire, slowly conquering (with debt) the world. Why is our military stationed all over the globe? Do we have foreign military bases here? Somehow we need to all push back on this "machine" that has enslaved us and is controlling us! If we are all in debt we can be controlled!
Hopefully this time we can stop intervension in Venezuela, i do not want to see another war and people die because of it
Leslie Armstrong we don’t have one AT ALL!!!!!
@Bob Low And you´re a hateful prejudiced moronic bigot!
Takes one to know one, doesn´t it?
My Aunt and many other people were "dissapeared" in Argentina. She was a teacher in the shanty towns, the favelas. They arrested her and we've never seen her again. Her name was Margarita Dols Castorino. 😪 Senseless.
His voice is shaking. There's a pang of heavy guilt inside, and when you are behind the deprivation and destruction of several country's economies and you know millions of people died or suffered and still suffering right now because of what you did, you cannot hide that feeling of guilt. The same happened to the Philippines during the late '70s to the middle '80s, an economic hit man destroyed the nation, the people lives and even to the present, the struggle remains. Millions people gradually died of different causes due to the effect of poverty a clear repercussion of economic destruction. Yes - millions were deprived to achieve a good standard of living.
Well..this guy John knows who setup the loans for the Phillipine government in those days..including the one for the nuclear power plant which was never used. I'm sure Cesar Virata knows who was the contact for the World Bank.
Yes, my wife is from Indonesia. The USA in the main have decimated it. Not only through deforestation but through allowing the locals to desire a western lifestyle, cars, new houses, burgers, doughnuts, TVs, internet, phones. Every country has bought it almost! There are now just a few simple people left who do not desire the material lifestyle. Now the celebrity culture has hit too! In 2000 Sumatra was still quite beautiful. Now the orang rimba who try to hold to their subsistence lifestyle have to try an camp often in a palm oil plantation. That money is laundered to Singapore and Malaysia and then to new York, London, Holland and ultimately to the Satanists running the show. They now want to depopulate after causing the actual damage!
He will never be set free from the heavy load of his guilt until he makes peace with God.
@@shooter9958 Exactly, and that’s the speech he needs to be giving!!! He needs to Name names! He must say the names of all of those people out loud! and tell the world their responsibilities, he must tell the world who was responsible at the World Bank? Who is responsible for the nuclear power plant and government officials responsible including those from the United States
Then the fear and shaking in his voice will be gone!
I pray God gives him the courage and strength and he does it!!!
Sounds like Iraq and Afghanistan…we’ve clearly be going around the world doing whatever we like to “protect democracy”. In reality we make the world our economic slaves. Ukraine is a modern example. Billions of dollars worth of military aid (weapons), they’ll be indebted forever. After WW2 the military complex was emboldened. We quickly learned that all of Europe was in actual debt to the U.S. The forces and weapons that our country produced and supplied Europe, left them with a big IOU. No need to pay us back, but…
The most important thing is that he's using his wisdom to defend the truth. He had an option of retiring in luxury, but decided to be part of the future through awareness campaigns.
Bravo, to him 👏🏼
I'll bet he's making some money off book sales though.
How about he never choosing to be a participant of the destruction in the *FIRST* *PLACE* common sense
I read his book before watching this video and I felt like he skipped so many things that left me breathless... I strongly recommend to read his book because a 18 minutes talk can't explain the last 50 years of history! We should move towards a solution!
And the second half of the video is basically preaching "good capitalism".

You are right bro. I reread this book three times and as always I discover amazing things
Phil Douglas it is a blessing... that the immorality of the leaders of this nation have NOT caught up to us yet, AND we have resources and time(dwindling tho) to fix it. And if we fix it, we won’t be given the judgement we deserve.. we will be seen as the heroes.
So God is blessing America. I mean jeez did you listen to a single thing Perkins said..?
There is always a story behind the story. Use your brain and resources to find things out instead of spewing nonsense that false, inaccurate and biased at best.
Any point you want to share short summary of from boon he miss here !
Yes. We at Tamil Nadu - southern state of India have started doing that. Lakhs and lakhs of people of TN have stood up on the streets and got our ancient cultural rights (Jallikattu) back, that was banned a couple of years ago. And the locals have decided not to consume (local shop owners decided not to sell) any beverages that ruins our rivers and water reservoirs, which is the only source for our farmers who produce food for our nation. Also, to support our farmers the locals and shop owners have decided to sell and consume only the natural drinks (like Tender Coconut) produced by farmers. The change is happening!
Bankay89 there is no need for that to happen, the damage has already done, now "if" the state goverment is desolved and reformed again, there is a chance if that happpens, maybe be then it would be too obvious if what you said happen
how did you all spread the message and get people to comply
Mahendra Babu Rajendran wow, this is amazing! Countries all over the world could take notes from India. Could you please tell us how the people made this possible?
@@gorkym8864
And this is why, "small local changes" are futile. Their propaganda machine is way better than your small town propaganda machine.
The "State", as Nietzsche said, is he most brutal invention ever created... no one really know what it means, nor truly understand its capacity to erase and distort, they can bury huge transgressions if it helps it survive. And survival, continuation, is its main purpose. And as it is said in the "Grapes of Wrath", if the state stops growing, it dies.
Gomis F bogus argument! I’m not from India but have visited the country! I did a internship in Andhra Pradesh and Kerala they are waaaay ahead then we are here in the US when it comes to organic farming and sustainability! Also your knocking of Hinduism shows your shallow knowledge of it (I’m Christian btw) Hinduism is a very ancient and deep culture, way beyond any one persons ability let alone yours to learn even a fraction of it in a life time-
for anyone interested to dive deeper into the phenomenon that Perkins describes, you might benefit from knowing that this strategy is commonly referred to as 'debt-trap diplomacy'. through withholding intellectual property and commoditizing science and technology, capitalists in countries in the global north (developed countries) corner countries in the global south ('developing' countries) and sell them loans that are too high, so that when they default (can't pay back) they have to sell off land and other resources very cheaply to pay off those loans/debts.
from John's days it has developed further and now it's got a heavy focus on all things information technology (although definitely not limited to that). technology companies keep the 'recipes' (intellectual property) and then license the use of their recipes to companies like Foxconn who then makes Apple's iPhones (just one example among many).
Thank you. I am 62 and have read books by this man, so glad to have this shared by a friend with me.
Conspiracy is a fact, not a "theory" and John Perkins is giving us the facts.
LISTEN TO HIS VOICE, HE IS TERRIFIED GIVING THIS SPEECH. he knows he just painted a huge target on his forehead.
Ana Franklin
In the book he says" it's not a conspiracy a conspiracy would be too simple it's a systemic issue " and am paraphrasing
RR رر it’s basically a religion
Perkins is really just illustrating the famous remarks of David Rockefeller when at a Bilderberg conference he described his New World Order as the "supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers". A nice way of saying an arrogant global fascist regime where David The Rock just happens to be one of the great pubas.
There is s new conspiracy being enacted every moment of every day!
When a man with his past has a voice that shaky, i pay extreme attention.
There's a pang of heavy guilt inside, and when you are behind the deprivation and destruction of several country's economies and you know millions of people died or suffered and still suffering right now because of what you did, you cannot hide that feeling.
@@ramonamoncio1755 my question is how does Indonesia get th capital on its own to build the dam?
@@markreynolds1112 An Economic hitman will help supply the loan to Indonesia through their internal resources of banks and such. Then, they will force Indonesia to default on that loan, driving them further into debt.
@@ramonamoncio1755 it shows that he still has a soul
That's age, chipping away at someone.
Time is overdue for all Americans and people around the world to get focused on solutions. Thanks John for sharing some solutions.
Which people around the World u killed pretty much everything around you, and what lasted hates u so much that nothing but a big war would stop the anger we feel
@drissla125 Unfortunately that is how it will go down. A new country will become the economic/military powerhouse backed by the IMF, World Bank, and the same greedy investors who have used the US so successfully. And the cycle will continue. Once the next country gets a taste of economic superiority, human nature will kick in and they will lie to themselves just as Americans and Israelis do and Germans did. They will believe they deserve it and are entitled. And they will all be too busy with their lives to question the system, or to look at who's neck they ate standing on to have it so good. Worse part is, it won't even make them happy. Just like the other examples.
I saw a man try to redeem himself after what he did through the idea, using TED as a platform to spread the idea. Definitely worth to share
I had the same thought initially, but remember his additional admonition. He said, "Behind every story, there is ANOTHER story." So, what is the story behind this most up-to-date Economic Hitman's "mea culpa"? Does he still have an ulterior motive? Is he still employed by those who see benefits in this new distraction? Exactly what is his advise? All I heard him say was "We can do it. It is happening." IF, . . . IF his real goal is to facilitate and help create a real movement, a real revolution, I'm sitting here without a new clue about how to do that. I don't feel good about this man. I did not see or feel the necessary and sufficient contrition that his history demands when speaking in public about his diabolical past. He actually laughed and smiled while speaking. Maybe if he had been on his knees?
P. S. Buy my book; it's for sale right outside this room.
@@drszot "Maybe if he had been on his knees?" who do you think you are, that anyone should have to beg you for your forgiveness? He's only asking that we think about what he proposes, can you actually do that?
+ P.S.: his book costs less than $20. If he makes money from it, it sure isn't by overpricing it. May be worth thinking about why it appeals to so many people, hey.
@@basicdesign1 People pray on their knees. It's a sign of contrition, not begging, IMHO. Not too much to ask in this situation.
And why the F*** are they laughing????!!!!! Do you know how many lives have been destroyed by people like these, by governments like these? I guess it's always easier to be at the winning end of the fight :/
Human A It's not funny at all. It has led to human sufferings and deaths all across the world due to GREED of the few.
because they have no idea the magnitude of what this man is saying
they don't have the education nor the mental capacity to comprehend it.
You mean USA
Human Askari they do not believe anything Infront of their face. Us colored people need to link and learn how to get this colonialism out
Human Askari interesting
This video should go viral. Why does it have only have 1800 views??
Because it's easier to seek out the Kardashians than it is to seek out the truth.
Almost 10,000 views now. Slowly slowly.... :)
Because his solution. 🍃 But Cause of sadness is inequality because of the system . People always follow the perceived path of greatest pleasure. So, there is no free will. People are conditioned by environments. There is no democracy. All governments are existing to transfer wealth to rich. Monetary system is legalised theft. Over consumption of finite resource of the earth is the current economy of the world. Plutocrats/corporatocracy is the real rulers. Please watch zeitgeist movement movies here in UA-cam for more info.
Truth often hurts you know my friend. Sometimes brutal.
+GoodManlife Energy Very well said..We are in the age of awakening thankfully
It takes wisdom to confess your bad past with guilt and call for action. I read his book before seeing this video& indeed his account of depriving people's rights was depressing. Been from Somalia- his details are Very factual& easy to notice each day including today& certainly tomorrow. How we use his confession determines who we are as humans
Appeasing his guilt, he could have said no!
Why is he saying it now? Usually confessing profits them someway. To take off the attention from the real bad guys maybe when everything goes to pot. Nah, I want the real message he is sending.
Me too
@@DaleFamily3291because the new scam is climate crisis, which he is pushing heavily
John Perkins your a legend man n I love ya buddy. I first saw you on the zeitgeist trilogy many moons ago. You were one of the people that gave me a stepping stone to understanding world politics. Your a pure diamond!
Although he did immense harm to many countries and their poor people.
@@wheelsofafrica I say better late than never though dave
I read John's books and deeply appreciate the unveiling of these dark truths. That being said, I disagree fundamentally with the idea that "predatory" capitalism is somehow different than capitalism. It's all capitalism. Predation is inevitable in a system based on differential advantage and self-maximization.
Can't cross too far over the line or you might find an extra hole in your dome....
yes, it's fundamentally predatory, as in the predator operates covertly with the target typically unaware until it is too late. The predation has become so extreme it is now sometimes referred to as inverted totalitarianism. Corporations and the government work together to shake down the population.We are constantly told the opposite of the truth. The American dream is possible only for one in a million. The 999, 999 have to pay for it. "Trickle-down" economics is really trickle-up economics. The exploitation will continue until all resources are consumed and collapse follows. Eventually recovery will not be possible at all. We will enter a new dark age. Fun times.
@Manny Santiago if you say that to the brainwashed public they will call you a spoiled, self entitled communist who want the government to take care of him, that is why it's difficult to make a change in a nation that has been ruled by a corporate dictatorship system for most of it's history, look at how much fire Bernie Sanders is under just because of his demands for a public health care, let alone trying to do the same for education and apply proper regulations for the critical industries....
@Manny Santiago Sorry, but no.
Capitalism only has one goal: profit.
Any rules you put in place, get in thew way of that, and will be overturned.
For an example: neoliberalism.
All capitalism becomes predatiory, because that's how you make the most money.
The problem with people accepting that, is that unfortunely theres is this misconception that the alternative to capitalism is socialism/communism, which is absolutely untrue.
Just finished reading his book "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" just WOW!
Hye can u share little summary about this book i really need to learn but due to busy schedul i can,t read. i am very thankful to u .
@@maryamehsan8382 Yikes. It's very difficult to compress a 250 page book into a youtube reply. Did you watch this video and read the Wikipedia synopses yet?

What a courageousious man. We need much more of them. For the unity and progress of mankind. Honesty is the way to personal satisfaction to your soul. God bless John!
I'm surprised Mr Perkins is still alive after his book and this talk.
he probably kept an insurance to keep him alive:)
In another interview, he said, he was poisoned but obviously survived..
Because he is mixing truth with falsehood
@@mzansitrash I thought the same but what falsehood though? All are pretty much facts
Interesting how it's only when they get old then they repent.
At least they repented, Brenda
Actually he wrote his book some 15 years ago, and was speaking on the topic before that.
He is not repenting . He is reborn , as a Green Hitman . Not 'rebelling against the system ' ... he is selling it .
Hi is not a criminal /he was used,it is a job/they are told it is for American security ,for his is serving his nation like a true patriot ,Just like what the military are told ,when sent to bombe innocent people/it is by brainwashing the young ,when maturity steps in ,a good man knows what he is doing is immoral ..that is if he has a conscience ...
He is not serving any country . He serves the international financier cartel , and he still does , but now with a new Green face , fighting ' Global Warming ' with Greta .
Its all driven by greed. Greed is the heart, soul and mind of this system thank you for enlightening
Sounds right, but it's wrong. Greed is the an effect, not a cause. Let's hear about the cause, then we might be doing some good.
@@lauriemayne7436 Greed and Control
Greed is the heart soul and mind of people, actually. If you could make a million dollars by taking 20 dollars from 50,000 people at the press of a button, with no consequences to yourself, would you take it? Guaranteed succes? I think you'd be hard pressed to find someone who'd actually say no to that. Theoretically they might, but if this opportunity actually presented itself, it'd take a saint not to do so. However, we mustn't forget there are many charities getting millions in donations and this is also in the heart of many people, compassion. We must use this compassion in combination with intelligence to curb the greedy nature of people. Not through communism, but through regulated capitalism
For capitalism provides an incentive to excell, by giving those with the most effective strategies the most money. It's the job of lawmakers to make sure the most profitable way is also the most ethical way. But this is not achieved through communism, which has left millions in starvation and forced silence.
@@lauriemayne7436 what is the cause of greed?
I truly admire this man's honesty!
Just finished his book Shape Shifting, it's a perspective altering experience and definitely a worthwhile read to enter with no pre-conceived ideas.
THANX JOHN!
It takes a special kind of man to admit his errors, specially in public.
It takes a heck man to let everyone know about it.
It takes a great man to expose and do a hard hands on job in making that change!!!
🙌🏼🙏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼
This man has books making money off his past crimes. He has not proven himself to be good, and nothing close to being a man of the people. If what h3's saying is true, his run is over and he's monetizing his past actions in another way. And the ones in power clearly don't take too much issue with what he's doing because he's still here.
@@J-Hue Thank you, my thoughts exactly! much LOVE ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
WHy is he now , making revelations I me an truthfully.. one commented the truth always comes out so does divinity
Appreciate very much his late contributions.
I read the book two years ago. Opened my eyes to the story behind the story as he calls it. He has left us with hope that we can change things. Our freedom has depended on we the people all along. We've just been tired, maybe sleeping. Time to get to it again.
I believe this guy's telling us just the way the world works AND he's reminding us of where our maximum power lies ! Let's use it.
We're seeing this play out in El Salvador right now. Bitcoin is a massive threat to the powers that be because they can't control it.

i grew up believing we were the best country in the world but now I am ashamed.
Now that's called propaganda, an average amercian probably knows nothing about anything they have done to other countries just take the my lai massacre for instance
No need to be ashamed for something someone else did. I've always known American's who think we're the best were brainwashed. The cia is good at what they do. I think we Americans need to destroy this system and rebuild before it kills us all.
That’s the propaganda they told you lol
I use to believe America was a christen nation but it never was
His last two sentences were "I look forward to taking this journey with you. Thank you so much." Was he talking about the journey backstage and the thanks for the check he received for yammering about common knowledge for anyone with half a brain? Not to mention he got some free advertising about his book that I'm sure is anything but free.
We are nothing but shadows and dust, we are powerless beyond the grave👊🏾 live and let others live that’s my life ❤️
I was kinda surprised to see John speaking on this public forum. I’m only halfway through, but felt compelled to stand up and be counted. This is the truth, as I know it. Standing up and speaking it loudly and clearly, does make one a target though.
Thanks John. Thanks for speaking the truth.
Thanks for this video, thanks for being brave enough to speak out.
This is so worth listening too I don’t think it takes him to let you understand what you must know when your heart is truth anybody who is old enough and has watched any of these phases of our government realizes that things are simply coming home to roost but what we decide now is critical to how it will go in the future those of us who believe in humanity and then affair humanity for all on the planet that you can only sustain itself if we really care should definitely listen to this and spread it around! Thank you John Perkins
“We the people” should wake up and make a change on this world of greed. Thank you for exposing the truth, sir.
Economic hitmen: I knew the reality of it but never heard it in this formal way.
Predatory capitalism already has a name. Lenin called it imperalism.
Run of the mill deregulated capitalism is just as bad. When people set no minimum standards the economy is a desperate race to the bottom.
More work, less pay, more pollution. What's not to love.
As stressed by Lenin, imperialism (or if you want predatory capitalism) is the highest stage of capitalism and it's its natural evolution
It's actually globalisation
Move to Cuba and you will feel different ...
Lol brainwashed commie Communism forcibly steals from people to equally distribute it. Like that's a step up. At least in capitalism people can own their own stuff rather than the state owning it and dictating how much you get. But capitalism is equally bad in that unending profits (not serving humanity) are its chief goals.
"People are waking up around the planet". What a Shocking story...
This man was in the original zeitgeist film with a lot of other important people with a very important message. The first film was a bit unrefined and was mostly taken as an attack on religion. Which it was not. The next films were more focused and had a better overall message. I'm happy to see this man again. I am a very empathetic person and I've always felt him very strongly.... let's focus on bringing out the good in everyone....
Years after i first read his book Confession of an Economic Hitman, and now i see him in person. And he said he met my former president. It's chilling how economy problem can strangled a country for years.

@@arnoldmavutula2889 the public does not automatically "benefit" as you say. corporations often evade paying taxes, outsource their services/products. many of them treat their employees with little or no benefits. They have the gal to bribe our officials for bail out money perpetuating low wage jobs without any incentives. Corporations are the source of liberal/free trade economics. Why? Because it benefits their pocket books. They simply believe that money has more value than human beings and it will happen in your country/state/city if you let them.

One day I hope to try it myself as it's obvious to me it's worked in this man.
Thanks to Carl Perkins for telling the truth of American financial imperialism. Everyone needs to understand this. But his affinity for "good capitalism" is surely an ideological leftover from his upbringing and business education. Capitalism is about maximizing profits, end of story.
; capitalism is increased efficiency; capitalism is alive both at the collective and individual level; you still decide what to do with your god given assets, how you make choices and where you spend your money. Only a monopoly can force people to accept their services and goods. sorry to be pedantic
Imperialismo financiero mundial, no solo american
Surprising how much more upbeat and rosy Perkins’ interpretation of the world is here than in his book.
That is so true. They always give us recommendations about privatisation and restricting subsidies offering debts. There is a big question why Africa is not still developed. And these "terrorists" are always in time. So it is so obvious. Thank you John. I hope we will be smarter and save our nations, money, country, resources and people.
Hi, I'm from Indonesia. Thanks for opened it up.
Hope you understood and let me know what we can do
Awesome courageous man John Perkins, this puts him in a dangerous position.... Thank you!
“Since you can’t pay your debt give us your resources” - predatory help
The irony - that is what Pompeo accuses China doing in less strong countries.
usury
@@bircruz555 This what China is doing now.
Spot on! Cheers & thankyou John! ...we do need a revolution in consciousness & sensible policy & Justice & transparency...
I've been following your story for years, but until now I had no idea that you were a RPCV (Returned Peace Corps Volunteer). I've known other volunteers who come back to the United States and then work for forces (government, industry) who's actions are opposed to the purpose of Peace Corps. It's too bad our corporations/military industrial complex/government/Wall Street etc.. i.e. greed drives so much of our society and foreign policy. David Schlessinger RPCV 2011-2013 Tanzania, Africa
The Peace Corps has been a CIA front since its inception, along with pretty much all the NGO's and Western schools supposedly doing good work around the world.
thank you John. If not all, the vast majority believe you and appreciate that you also explaining what actions can individuals do. Would really like for you to tell us what actions non-Americans across the globe can also do
I bought his book a couple of years ago after I found it at half price books, and it’s just been on my bookshelf. I need to read ASAP.
Afflict the comfortable, comfort the afflicted
The world needs to read ,understand and implement this truth... like Perkin says ,,,'Get involved ,'...First step !Thank you Sir...!!!!!!
loved his book . much respect John you give the world hope for America
And here at worst economical crisis ever, our leaders agreeing for the IMF conditions for another loan.
Sadly we have been hearing this kind talk for years now, the Panama papers came out 4 years ago, books have written about it and it has gotten even worse.
They control what we think, what we get angry or scared about, they have gotten really good at it
Whenever someone says capitalist I hear Roman. The Romans once were everywhere in the known world. How did that work out for them in the long run?
They turned into the Roman Catholic Church and are probably running the whole show .
These people are the children of the Romans. They worship the same, govern the same, etc. That's why they trace the history of their society back to Rome and Greece. If you read the Apocrypha, it details exactly how they rule today because they're using the same tactics. It's in the nature of the people themselves. The system of governance and the culture is just a manifestation of that.
Fear destroys a nation but truth is as a light that shines an directs you on the path to where an exit sign flashes and it only red in color to show the need that must be addressed. Listening to this fellow is a good thing but taking his advice and doing is necessary if we want to survive as a people, or some might say, as a species. God bless the doers that are motivated to do what is right and good, like this man has shown in the here and now. PEACE
You can hear the regret in his voice
I only have respect for him
He deserves 0 respect if you think how much blood has been shed by his actions
Thanks. Unfortunately they wont wake up until it is their turn with no way out. Done trying to explain this to folks. We should be happy there is still old men like him around.
This guy deserves a movie
I'll put home alone 2 on for him
@Mathieu Jules Alex Jones was right
@Mathieu Jules I never heard that before.
Many of the people Alex exposes are involved with the deaths of countless people.
@Mathieu Jules Preach brother!
So did he turn himself in to geneva in order to talk about economic crimes against humanity? i am sick of rich guys, destroying our planet and peoples lives, and then write a bestseller and have fancy talks about their 'awakening'
Would you, if you were him, turn yourself in? To Geneva or to whomever. That would accomplish not a thing. He's getting his story out there through widely available public venues. More people, more Americans, will know what's being done in their names and will have a more informed vote to change this system.
Ive read the book, you should as well
Fine. Be sick of "rich guys." For me personally, I don't care much about rich guys or whether this one seeks redemption or wealth. But I believe he can speak with authority about the skullduggery more effectively than many others. What is required for change if not persuasion on a mass scale? Promote this educational video.
Your comment reminds me of those who revile Edward Snowden because he doesn't voluntarily surrender for trial in the US, as if this undercuts his message about what he exposed. Ad hominem. Tangential. Distracting.
Why should he do that? Unless they were bringing charges against the real villains, his bosses, and he was testifying against them, how would that do more good than what he's doing now?
What naive thing to say. If he didn't write his book, people wouldn't know what is happening. Whistleblowers are ESSENTIAL to solving the corruption. Use your head.
His book clearly says he is not an economist but he just posed as one and was asked to! However no matter who you are and hat you do, you impact the economy. This is what he means. An economist has a PhD in economics and is more analytical, tries to be objective and doesn't care about politicians or parties.. Perkins functioned as a salesman and he was very good at it.
I read his book and now think how I feel when I meet arrogant young Americans with usaid in Africa thinking the world of themselves...
Amen all those NGO folks with their college degrees and liberal ideals...
We need to invest in an environmentally sustainable socially just and peaceful world......
Good luck. You're to busy making make up companies rich because they've told you all your life you're not good enough and you haven't had the proper education to understand the lie you've been sold🤔 before you try to fix anything else, fix yourself.
@@sam7811 that was a bit harsh, don't you think? Being a woman I can assure you it is not just the "make up" companies that make women feel that way. She is beautiful and has a good heart. Tearing people down is not how you get people to "fix" themselves. It only creates a bigger divide.
Focus on your own race issues before jumping on a save the world platform. That has never helped blacks.
No money in peace
@ Finch economic victory doesn’t depend on beauty and emotional good heart degeneracy rather it’s all forms of war.
Thank you for telling us the truth and trying to make changes.
I love his idea of people are waking up through revolution consciousness...
Why do I find it hard to believe that he suddenly became enlightened and serving the humanity!!!🤔
More like selling his books.
For him to still be alive and able to go around and speaks on this information tells me this is still not the source of the problem. If you misdiagnose, you implement the wrong cure, which will not cure.
And what would you write if he had been assassinated earlier?
He didn't call out the pope and the story behind his story that's why he can say this and live one voice so what the sheep are blind deaf and cowards
He's alive because major media and publishing companies ignore him just like they do with Noam Chomsky. No need to kill him just let him be ignored. If people like him become a menace that's when they go to jail like Manning or Julian Assange or get killed.
What an amazing Lecture. Thank you Sir for this awakening speech!
So common to see people getting rich due to capitalism and then clean their souls by criticizing it.
Great share I commend this brave man for his honesty I respect . He is speaking truth his words are valuable and valid he's right.
Putting words into action
May God bless him a man that turned for the good of humanity. Remember people without Mercy there is no advancement in bettering the world. Again may God bless him and make his face shine upon him. There is HOPE.
We came, we saw, he died... That's how they do it!
Yes! Question everything. Such a good talk. Got me FIRED up!
I'm chilled! What a world we are living in 😭
Mr Perkins... "an Economic Hit Man"... I think that he is very kind... I can´t believe it! Well, the reality sometimes is incredible...
He is very kind cause you haven't seen the people who suffered behind what he has done... he's so kind yet people have died and he's got to live upto age, how shortsighted
The biggest issue with his theory of just changing the rules is that this system will always, always, produce people who will simply go around, ignore, or remove the rules. It's already played out several times over.
This is a brave and morely convicted, brilliant Man that is in my belief placing himself at great risk to bring this to light. Thank you Sir!
My husband worked with the Nature Conservancy , i recomend this organization it works with corporations and helps the do the right thing by showing ways it will help the corporation ( by being able to say we did such and such to help save the planet.).
Reading his book, listening him made me crave to meet him
He says "We must change the system." I have published my design for a new economic system back 2013. John Perkins should read it.
Here here. Guilt is always a desperate way to promote a book.
This man brings vital knowledge!!
VERY INFORMATIVE! THANK YOU MR. PERKINS
This is amazing and the Still very few have seen it:( please help spread the word!
How could he speak freely? Isn't his life in danger?
he doesn't say anything particularly incriminating. not about specific individuals at least. & most - if not all - of what he says is already in the public domain
The Illuminati gets a hard on when someone exposes their secrets
He did not worked for so called Illuminati , he was working for US deep state, there is many more levels behind US establishment.
that is a question to look into! he speaks some truths and some lies. i think, unfortunately, he must be someone paid to bamboozle.
Avinashraj Asokan watch the documentary, the arrivals
Boycotting the corporations does no good when DC bails them out with our tax money. :(
amazing insight; very true
So far the only solution I've come across is to just drop out of society form a small kahmune and try and survive on a homestead
one more solution ; mass prayers to our Gods everyday for salvation along with baby steps towards a better world
I just watched No Escape and Pierce Brosnan's character and explanation of what was going on made me think of this book
