The Confessions of an Economic Hit Man John Perkins Chapter one

 Chapter one goes into how John was introduced to the role of an Economic Hit Man (EHM). It's the average story of a well-meaning twenty-something wanting to change the world. John's job was to secure lines of credit for Ecuador at the time. Then he met the spawn of Satan in Quito. Quito is the capital of Ecuador. As a Greenpeace volunteer, he and his wife each got a stipend for their living expenses. The spawn was paid the equivalent of six months stipend for John and Ann received in a month. Ann's job was to teach local women how to keep a clean and sanitary home. Yeah! Talking down to people will always endear you to them. It's not that these ladies didn't know how to clean, they have access to the resources like Pine-Sol per-say to clean with. 


Moving on. John and Ann's time in Ecuador came to an end. The spawn of Satan sunk his teeth into John. John would spend years working a moral-less job. Yes, John and his family had every perk that came with his job as an EHM.


Eventually, the consequences of such a soul-less job came home to roost. Nightmares, uppers in the day and night time downers. Of course, excessive drinking. But he made out in the world on his own supporting his family.

War Is A Racket

  This is an excellent quick read. If you don’t have ADHD, it’s a quick read. I started this book before Thanksgiving so between the holidays and every day crazy train I finally finished it. Of course, I made notes in each chapter about my thoughts. We’ll see if this helped compared to the chapter-by-chapter review we did on The New Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man by John Perkins.  Throughout the book, General Butler covers the ins and outs of war. He looks at the financial cost and the human cost. He starts out by explaining how the military-industrial complex was formed. Which I do think is critical. Most people in America don’t understand what the military-industrial complex is. Never mind how it is used. I am not going into detail here just read The New Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man. You will understand the order in which things unfold. The minority of Americans know who profits from war and who doesn’t. General Butler covers that as well. You will notice I said ‘m...

How America Angered God Lust

  We left off at Wrath. Now we will continue this list and finish it out. Sin: Lust This is the sin that nails us all. It is wanting power, pleasure, and money. Not necessarily all of these but one or all.  I grew up in the 1980s so when I think of examples of this particular sin I am reminded of Jim Baker and Jessica Hawn. He was married to Tammy and lusted after two things; money and Jessica. Their lust brought them down in the end. Tammy had her own lust for money that contributed to their downfall.  Ten Commandment:  Thou shall not commit adultery.  Virtue: Chastity Being chaste is recommended by Christ. In the book of Mathew chapters 19: 12 and 22: 20 Christ talks of being chaste. Being chaste teaches discipline. https://youtu.be/7Y8lHwOIu_A
