This excellent short film from activist
Wesley PP Hall does a fantastic job of simplifying concepts that our leaders and mainstream
media would prefer us to dismiss as confusing or complex. The voiceover is provided by John Perkins, who wrote the
book ‘Confessions of an Economic Hitman’, a shocking expose of international corruption.
The producer combines Perkins’s powerful words with great visuals to successfully link a whole range of topics together in an easy-to-understand (and hard-hitting) way. Perkins speaks openly about how the global
banking system works, and how it is directly linked to other issues, such as
war and increased
terrorism.
In a nutshell, Perkins explains how developing countries are targeted for their resources, then offered loans. The money doesn’t go to the people, of course, it goes to
corporations who build infrastructure under the pretense of aid, usually destroying the environment in the process. Later, the masses- who never received anything beneficial from the loans in the first place- are expected to foot the bill. When the country’s
debt is too large to pay back, bribery is used:”Sell us your oil at a low price, sell us a pound of flesh…let us build a military base here, that kind of thing,” Perkins explains.
Then, he says, “where we fail, the jackals go in to overthrow or assassinate the leaders. Where the jackals fail- as they did in
Iraq– then we send in the military.” Perkins concludes that this sick
pattern of disposing of (often democratically elected) politicians in order to gain control of a
country‘s resources is a key contributing factor to terrorism, and it causes “an unsafe, unjust, unsustainable and very very dangerous world.”
Ever wondered why the world is in such a mess? Watch this and everything will suddenly fall into place. The full hour-long video interview with John Perkins can be seen
