There is a well know African proverb that goes like this; “the child that says it’s mother won’t sleep would not sleep as well.” As we move towards the end of the first quarter of the 21st century, it is begining to dawn on the World that one part of the World cannot be at peace while the other lives in hunger, poverty, tyranny and oppression.
“Economic hit men,” John Perkins writes, are “highly paid professionals who cheat countries around the globe of trillions of dollars. Their tools include fraudulent financial reports, rigged elections, payoffs, extortion, sex and murder”.
"Confessions of an Economic Hitman", by John Perkins; Berrett-Koehler Publishers; 2008 is a book in which the author, a former economic hit man exposes how the U.S. government in the past, manipulated some 3rd world countries of strategic importance into accepting huge loans. These countries now saddled with such loans could now be controlled by the U.S government her benefit.
