Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins
Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins
I have read this book, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man – Click Here, a few times and heard John Perkins speak a few times.
Dope. The guy really breaks down how the world works. International. Read it.
“Economic Hit Men are highly-paid professionals who cheat countries around the globe of trillions of dollars. They funnel money from the World Bank, the U.S. Agency for International development (USAID), and other foreign so called “aid” organisations 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. I should know, I was an Economic Hit Man.”

MPM,
Shibumi was literally life changing for me and a select few friends. The philosophy of effortless perfection in all areas of life and embracing culture and refinement has served me well. The books message is the antithesis of the hyper consumer and greed culture that permeates everything in this country from hip hop to Wall Street.
And by the way, I’ve been accused several times of being the author of the G Manifesto. Its being said tongue in cheek I’m sure but my retort is always, “I wish!”

L BOOGIE,
Sold. I am getting Shibumi today. I am reading like 20 books at the same time so it might take me some time to get through it.
“I’ve been accused several times of being the author of the G Manifesto. Its being said tongue in cheek I’m sure but my retort is always, “I wish!”
Hilarious. I wish someone else was the author also. Then I wouldn’t have to write it. But it need to be done, For the People.
Feel free to write a Guest Manifesto.
Have a great day.

Thanks for the offer, I’ll have to take you up on being a guest contributor. And where/how do you find the images that you use? You’ve set the bar pretty high from Selena Spice to Stacey Dash and every type in between.
