Turning Hard Times Into Good Times

After the post-World War II nuclear age, it was no longer possible for empires to conquer other nations overtly with military force. A more clandestine means of conquer was required. Economic hit men like John Perkins were sent into foreign nations under corporate disguise with the goal of indebting foreign nations to the IMF, World Bank, and large U.S. banks, for the construction of major infrastructure projects like dams, airports, highway systems, etc. Once a nation was in debt, it could then be forced to sell its raw materials to the developed world at a very low price, thus enriching the empire. Perkins will explain how the U.S. uses its military to force nations around the world to accept a currency that has been backed by oil rather than by gold since 1971. He will talk about how national leaders not cooperating with the U.S. are treated and why we are at war in Afghanistan and Iraq. Perkins will explain what this means for our investments.
