What Is an Economic Hit Man? In China…
By John Perkins
My new book, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, 3rd Edition: China’s EHM Strategy; Ways to Stop the Global Takeover, answers questions about EHMs – in the US and China – and addresses many other issues that are relevant to today’s tumultuous world. Example:
Economic hit men (EHMs) are highly paid professionals who cheat countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars. They funnel money from the World Bank, the US Agency for International Development (USAID), and other foreign “aid” organizations into the coffers of huge corporations and the pockets of a few wealthy families who control the planet’s natural resources. Their tools include fraudulent financial reports, rigged elections, payoffs, extortion, sex, and murder. They play a game as old as empire, but one that has taken on new and terrifying dimensions during this time of globalization.
. . .
The system is promoted by an EHM strategy that took on new and ominous proportions after China entered the fray in the early 2000s. . . .China presented itself as a model for rapid economic success at home and made major modifications to the EHM strategy abroad.
The modifications China’s EHMs made have been so successful that China has outmaneuvered the US and today is the dominant power in countries on every continent. It is the US’s largest trading partner and has an immense impact on the US economy. China’s tactics, along with those I and other US EHMs employed, are described in detail in Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, 3rd Edition. These tactics have taken us to the precipice of disaster. The EHM strategies of both countries must end.
The book offers a plan for what you personally can do to help end the insanity. By pre-ordering, you will gain free access to a 90-minute virtual program ($220 value) with me. I will discuss attempts that were made to block the publication of my books and to poison me and I will describe the challenges I faced writing about China’s EHMs. The programs will include time for questions and discussions; recordings will be available.
