The New Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man by John Perkins Chapter 26: Ecuador's Presidential Death

 This chapter opens with John submitting his resignation. His new boss Paul Priddy refused to believe him. It was hard to believe it took a while, but Paul eventually accepted his resignation. Thus started John's new job as an expert witness between MAIN and angry clients threatening to drop MAIN if John was no part of the company. 


John kept on top of events in Ecuador. Even though he was no longer involved in business affairs in Central America. I did enjoy John's comparison of Carter and Reagan. I was just a child when Carter was president. And I vaguely remember my parents talking about having to choose between these two for president. That was the year my late father voted for Donald Duck. Seriously! I get it now. John described Carter as ineffective as a politician. However, he was true to his beliefs and truly wanted to move America away from being dependent on oil companies. Reagan went into office and removed solar panels. Reagan was the puppet bankers and corporations wanted. 


Ecuador's President Jamie Roldo was murdered not long after he showed he was committed to his campaign promises to reduce Ecuador's dependence on oil. President Roldo ordered the Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL is a religious organization) out of Ecuador. He made it clear their involvement with oil companies is a conflict of interest. He was putting a hydrocarbon law to Ecuador's congress. The sharks came out in full force. Slandering Roldo in the media. Which is when Roldo ordered companies and SIL out of Ecuador. In 1981, Jamie Roldo was murdered in a plane accident. Papers across Latin America were screaming "CIA Assassination!". They were right. In 27 Panama's president Omar Torrijos is next.

UN Legitimate and Two Illegitimate Speakers

This was a freakshow of a week…. I actually did a whole layout here and accidentally deleted it. OMG. I realize this week was crazy, but holy shit! This is what it did. So here’s a quick recap before I have a completely psychotic break.  Trump entered the UN building with the same level of disaster he entered the world with. The safety feature that will prevent someone carrying a ‘nasty surprise’ from entering the top level of the escalator. That still leaves the elevators. The teleprompter stopped working. That was it, there’s a conspiracy. He did what any brain-dead American would do: whine and bitch. His almost hour-long tirade ended by telling other nations they will go to hell. I guess there will be a family reunion.  Netanyahu went to speak, and it’s a good thing that there were influencers paid to be there; otherwise, why on earth would anybody subject themselves to Netanyahu’s incoherent nonsense after Trump is beyond me. Netenhahu finished last week by threatening Chi...

Who is Ahmed al-Sharaa?

  Ahmed was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Wait! What was that???? Born in Saudi Arabia…. How the hell did he get to be president of Syria? A country that he isn’t even a citizen of? That is as insane as Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announcing he is going to be the president of America. Actually, I would welcome that. Since he is obviously smarter than any American Political puppet. At least we would be able to have our Christian values protected. There wouldn’t be an abortion clinic on every city block. And the sexualization of children would come to a dead stop. Veterans would be better cared for under Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. However, that will never happen, but I think you get how insane that is. I found that you have to be a natural-born citizen of Syria to be president of Syria.  Ahmed al-Sharaa was a member of Al Qaeda. You remember the pack of terrorists who attacked us on 9/11/. My question is, why is Al-Qaeda allowed to exist if they were involved in 9/11? ...

Feeling Ignored

  I didn't mean to ignore this site. I have been busy with the government shutdown, and I have to say, what a freak show. Let's break this down: 1. There is a budget. Once it's clear that we won't tolerate the freak show any longer, the budget will be put in front of us. Of course, it won't have an accurate date. The date it was actually signed.  2. What are we currently focused on? The shutdown. We are looking at the fact that Israel is attacking Iran, again, for having the very same thing they have: nuclear weapons. We also have nuclear weapons in America. We also have a nasty habit of using weapons of mass destruction. Dioxin was used in Vietnam; it was later called Agent Orange.  3. We are no longer demanding the release of the Epstein and Maxwell files. Of course, by the end of October, I am sure this will be in the headline again because one of the other party will bring it up.  4. Prices. The lamestream media isn't talking about the real prices. I went ye...
