The New Confessions of An Economic Hit Man by John Perkins Chapter 33 Venezuela: Saved by Saddam

 I have often wondered why we didn't invade Venezuela in the early two thousand. Here's why, Saddam Hussein refused to roll over and drop his pants for American oil companies. He certainly wasn't going to bow down to DC. Also, the Taliban had realized how much money they were being screwed out of and was demanding a large percentage of the opium industry. Which is why we had to fake an attack and give Larry Silverstein a new building. He bought the towers in the Summer of 2001 and got them insured. Two weeks later they are attacked! It took over a year to forge the documents so he could collect and build new buildings. 


Because of Saddam Hussein, Venezuela got put on the back burner. There were lies to be sold about Saddam Hussein. DC had to focus on getting us on board with an invasion of Iraq. And we bought the lie hook line and sinker. Of course, it was clear DC would circle back around for Chavez. And they did. Eventually, Chavez was ousted. Three days later he was back. Like AC/DC Back in Black. Bush eventually accepted the fact his efforts in Venezuela were a bust. He moved on and dealt with Afghanistan and Iraq. At that time America didn't have the financial or military muscle to have three conflicts on two different continents. Two conflicts in the Middle East and one in South America. By this time it was clear to John he had to come clean about his role in the events unfolding.


At this point, it should be clear the real reason we went into Afghanistan. And every other country we've illegally invaded. They had a truly democratically elected government that they wanted. Not what DC wanted. Look at Turkey for another example. There's Erdogan who is on the verge of taking Turkey out of NATO and the other West-friendly guy. Erdogan embraces traditional Muslim values as much as President Putin values his Orthodox Christian values. May 28th we will know. Without a doubt, there will be a protest against whoever wins. Allegations of foreign interference are waiting to be implied.

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
