Publish Date: 2006-12-01
Features: This is an autobiography written by John Perkins over more than two decades; it is an autobiography that John Perkins completed despite threats to his life and bribery; it is an autobiography comparable to the movie Fahrenheit 9/11 and that shocked the political, business, and financial circles in the United States; it is an autobiography that the mainstream media deliberately avoided and remained silent about but still became a bestseller. In the book, John Perkins reveals that economic hitmen, dressed as economists, bankers, or international financial advisors, actually carry out a strategic mission to establish U.S. global hegemony. They manipulate foreign political and economic elites by falsifying financial reports, manipulating elections, bribery, extortion, seduction, and even murder, deliberately providing them with incorrect macroeconomic analyses and industrial investment advice, luring developing countries into preset economic traps, thereby controlling their economic lifelines and natural resources. Through deceptive means, they ensure that billions of U.S. dollars flow continuously into the United States, serving to consolidate and expand the United States' economic, political, and military hegemony globally.
Perkins reveals in the book everything he witnessed as an economic hitman and uncovers the secrets behind several recent major international events. For example, the Saudi Arabian money laundering scandal, the downfall of the Shah of Iran, the deaths of the presidents of Ecuador and Panama, as well as the U.S. invasions of Panama and Iraq. This book is set to be turned into a blockbuster film by Disney, with Oscar-winning actor Harrison Ford playing the lead role. The film will feature grand scenes: luxury hotels hosting foreign leaders, imposing presidential palaces, opulent Arab palaces, rugged Andes mountains, and gripping character fates: fatal temptresses, assassinated presidents, lustful kings, and exiled generals, all of whom will take the stage.
The book exposes the behind-the-scenes truth of economic hitmen, who, dressed as economists, bankers, or international financial advisors, actually carry out a strategic mission to establish U.S. global hegemony.
