Turning Hard Times Into Good Times

John Perkins, author of Confessions of an Economic Hitman returns. As we remember 9-11-01, I recall Ron Paul’s words, “The reason they are over here is because we are over there.” Imagine if the Chinese put their ships in the Gulf of Mexico and then sent drones out over the U.S. to kill Americans. Do you not think we would be angry about that? Is America leaving Afghanistan? The 9/6/12 NY Times reports that as the U.S. military supposedly pulls out of Afghanistan, the U.S. will continue to control the prisons in that country. Why are we over there? Is it to protect the sovereignty of the USA? Or is it to protect the wealth and power of a small ruling elite, who care not a whit about American sovereignty? Perkins will talk about how Americans have been Hoodwinked, the title of another book he has written to explain how that is leading to global economic disruptions. Your host and possibly a surprise guest will offer ideas how to protect your investments accordingly.
