What is Reddit's opinion of The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Honestly, HK was the moment it became clear that Maxwell was the John Perkins of Bitcoin. "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" is a must read to understand the hijacking of Bitcoin. It took only one guy on the inside of Chas T. Main engineering to put countries billions in debt. To put Bitcoin in the hands of the banks it took only one neckbeard rat willing to sell out.

Signing the HK agreement ~~proves~~ strongly suggests that u/adam3us and u/luke-jr were out of the loop.

Congrats! You found the one overseas Chinese military base. One. Russia has about a dozen overseas bases. Most are in the former USSR, but of course 2 are in Syria.

But the Russians and Chinese are amateurs when it comes to overseas military bases. Those petty bases pale in comparison to the 700, 800 or 1000 or whatever overseas military bases that our empire operates.

> The debt handcuffs China is slapping on governments across Africa and Latin America?

Are they really doing that? The Chinese and the governments involved say no.

Meanwhile, many have written this is exactly what US banks and our gov't does as a planned strategy.

To dismantle the semi-socialist countries of Africa and other places, western banks deliberately give them unpayable amounts of loans. Then when the targeted countries (it is a deliberate targeting strategy) are unable to pay off their loans, the US banks and our IMF/World Bank tools forces the targeted countries to sell off their public assets at discount prices to western capitalists. And voila! -- we gain control of a country's economy.

Former NSA employee and long-time international banker John Perkins managed to get approval from our "Deep State" security censors to allow him to actually publish a book about this, "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man." That link is to Amazon; it's definitely worth buying and reading since Perkins describes this process in detail.

Venezuela is being targeted for capitalist takeover. The suppression of oil prices was done to starve Russia, Venezuela and Iran of oil revenue. The Honduran President was regime changed in a coup because the President was increasing workers' wages and rights.North Korea is commie, like China, not socialist. Cuba has better life expectancy than the citizens of the US.

> I don't see how free trade with the US is hurting other countries in any way.

1) It hurts local producers of goods. Jamaican farmers

2) Ecological damage. Bauxite Mining in Jamaica This video is long but the short of it is that during the mining process they hurt the people in the community and after mining the bauxite they leave the land unusable.

3) War. Charles Taylor and Firestone

There is another example about sugar cane, Haitians, the Dominican Republic and Florida sugar companies but I can't find the video right now.

Also US (and probably all countries) do not practice free trade as we know. They have their hand on the scale.

This book, The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man really explains how the the US uses diplomacy, "economic development" and the CIA to control countries. It is also exactly what China is doing right now with their Belt and Road Initiative. This is why the US pushes free trade so much.

Bonus - This book, The Brothers: John Foster Dulles, Allen Dulles, and Their Secret World War gives more examples.

These are all examples from the developing world. Free trade with other high wage, comparable countries is different. But when we start to "lose" the free trade battle (Japan in 70s/80s) we tell them to cut back on exporting cars to the US and they have to because they depend on the US military for protection.

There's a book that details this sort of strategy that's been done by deep state crooks in the US forever, it's called "confessions of a economic hitman" by John Perkins

> The USA doesn't rule over anywhere it's invaded.

Let's see, except for Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the entire US southwest (fully 1/2 of old Mexico).

The British Empire did not officially rule over Iraq. That evil empire invaded Iraq, put a puppet king in power, and then ruled from afar while economically exploiting the country. But everyone knew it was part of the British Empire.

That form of empire -- neo-imperialism/neo-colonialism -- has been often used by empires and is the US' preferred method. We put in puppet regimes and then economically exploit them while letting the locals deal with the headaches of actually running the country (the local leaders only demand a relatively small cut).

The classic US example is the Philippines. We invaded promising them independence. We then fought a vicious, brutal war to terrorize the Filipino people into submission when they realized we were liars and were not giving them independence.

We then ran the Philippines as a flat-out colony of the US for a half-century.

After WWII, we gave them "independence" -- with US corporations in complete control of the Filipino economy, of course -- and supported a dictator (Marcos) to rule the country. That's just how we roll.

Former NSA guy and int'l banker John Perkins wrote an entire book on the topic which included many of his first-hand experiences. Those experiences included everything from assassinations of uppity nationalist leaders who would not follow US orders and/or allow US/western corporations to run rampant in their countries, to deliberately giving loans to poor countries run by dictators that we knew they could not pay back all so we could later force them to sell off their national assets.

I'm simply baffled at how Americans can look at the world, see US military forces operating in over 100 countries, retaining bases in Germany and Japan 70+ years after we conquered them, routinely attacking country after country to install puppet governments, the US gov't doing every dirty trick in the book to control other supposedly-sovereign nations -- and then say that we are not an empire, and all with a straight face.

Edit: Typos.

> "I hate all forms of imperialism, and I consider the US brand to be the most loathsome and contemptible." -- Nelson Mandela.

No way; I don't buy it. I'd recommend reading the book "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" by a former int'l banker.

The author details pretty well the "offer you can't refuse" arrangement the US gave the Saudis in the 70s: Invest most of your oil money in Wall Street or we'll overthrow your petty dictatorship. That was right around the time Jimmy Carter publicly announced the Carter Doctrine (forget the anti-Soviet spin of that doctrine; that was the US claiming hegemony over the Middle East) to let them know we were serious.

And what do you know -- today the US has military bases in Saudi Arabia to shout our domination of that country.

> "The Plan is for the United States to rule the world. The overt theme is unilateralism, but it is ultimately a story of domination....It calls for dominion over friends and enemies alike." -- Investigative journalist David Armstrong, explaining the Pentagon's policy of "full spectrum dominance."

I reccomend you spend time studying heterodox economists like Steve Keen, Michael Hudson, Bill Black, Ellen Brown, Stephanie Kelton etc., then the term monopoly capitalism won't strike you as Commie (which it oddly ends up being very similar to, with its control over governments, lobbyist written laws, control of all natural resources etc., except the media will yell "free market" anyway. How many internet providers are available to me? Hmm ..one!). Yes, it's much more "efficient" to have a few globalists control the world's economies and all of the world's wealth and to carry out economic war on those who attempt to retain their national sovereignty (like Gaddaffi who was about to leave the hegemonic "dollar".)
