»NSA agent admits: The US actively ruins developing countries«


John Perkins has worked from 1971 to 1981 as "Economic Hitman" for the secret service NSA (National Security Agency). The target of the US was solely to enslave developing countries economically and make them a puppet in the hands of the USA.

John Perkins clarifies that the US projects that look like HELP for third world countries are just geo-strategic plans to keep the countries dependent on the USA.

How does this work?
• You sell a big project (dam in Exuador, electricity systems in Indonesia, airports in Latinamerica).
• The money comes from the, so called, World Bank, whose director is tradinionally an USAnian.
• John Perkins writes, that it is quite easy to "manipulate" the statistics, so that it looks as if the country's gross national product seems higher than it actually is.
• Practically all companies that get the money to build the projects are US companies (e.g. Halliburton = where the current vice-president Dick Cheney worked). In other words: The money actually never leaves the US.
• When the countries later succumb under the unpayable pressure of debts, the US starts the next step: blackmailing, buying UN-votes, forcing military bases, ensuring access to ressources (oil, Panama canal).


John Perkins calls it "corporatacracy".



The term "Economic Hit Man" has been formed when the CIA overthrew the Iranian Prime Minister (1951-1953) after he nationalized the oil production (= private investors, like the covert USAnians could not buy in).

Now guess who has been proposed as the new Worldbank chief by George W. Bush? Paul Wolfowitz, one of the designers of the war against Iraq.

nothing new


and its not just developing countries either...the US always uses its massive economic muscle to get the bigger slice of the pie

it even tried to force the hand of its "special friend" the UK by trying to force the UK to import bananas from US controlled growers (namely chiquita)...if it didn't then the US would stop imports of Scottish Cashmere wool...

it does this with every country

or it uses its other technique...if a country that the US imports from,does dealings with a country the the US doesn't like...then the US throws its toys out of the pram and refuses to play with that country again

its managed to keep every country on earth in its shadow by using these economic means to maintain its position as sole superpower

the problem it has now is that the US economy now relies on China and vice versa...so China is now growing in power at a rate the US cant do anything about without damaging its own economy considerably

Unholy connection between politics and greed


the anomaly:
namely chiquita

Chiquita (formerly known as "United Fruit Company") was an interesting story, indeed. Had similarities with the Iraq war:

When the president of Guatemala expropriated the US company and divided the land amongst small farmers, US bombed (with the help of CIA) the capital city and and couped him out of office.

As it turned out Allen Dulles (the CIA director) and the foreign minister (John Foster Dulles) were lawyers for United Fruit Company. The UN embassador of the US (Henry Cabot Lodge) was a major shareholder.

Reminds very much of the attack against Iraq where half of the White House staff are in the oil business.

John Perkins, who wrote this book, says that Saddam refused to get a loan and the CIA failed to assassinate him (he was protected too well). Thus the US had to invade.
