We're going to wrap up this book. In this video and post,I share my thoughts on the last few chapters.
Chapter 43: Who Are Today's Economic Hit Men?
John is introducing you to the new EHM's. It's not necessarily exactly what or who you would think. If you're thinking of bankers, corporate owners of companies like Boeing. You're half right. They are Economic Hit Men of today. John was talking about politicians. The absolute scum of scum.. I have to say when you put this much scum in one pot, you might want to add sideboards. Or move to an ocean so you have plenty of room for more.
We've all heard about a revolving door which politicians pass through. Here's the door. A CEO of a company will be there for, say ten years. Then they go into senator and/or congress. From there they will lose a selection then go work as "A Consultant" or whatever bullshit title they give themselves and we just go along. Wonder why we pay so much for federal taxes. Here it is, this "consultant" will advise a government branch, then charge them thousands of dollars. A week later they will repeat this process. You and I pay them in forms of taxes. Another way this works is that lobbyists from say Raytheon will go to a senator and offer a huge donation and endorsement in exchange for a "way" to bulk up their bank account. The official gets a bribe, re-elected, and Raytheon gets the path to grow their bank account; WAR. If this sounds familiar, it should. It's the type of thing Hunter Biden is in supposedly in hot water over.
Chapter 44: Who Are Today's Jackals?
John makes a great assessment about who today's Jackals are. They are the operators of the drones. As we've seen in Eastern Europe, drones allow a serial killer to operate from a safe distance. They are in a safe secluded location. Far from the mayhem they are unleashing. Safe from the screams and images.
Also, to my disgust, Special Forces are also used as Jackals. SEAL Team 6 ring a bell. Yeah. I know it's disgusting to think about.
Chapter 45: Lessons for China
South American countries are turning to China for loans. Why? They don't have a history of invading countries they don't see as part of their ancient empire. America does. We've been invading countries from hell to Africa because we had the military power to do so. And we do.
As I am wrapping up this book, I am reminded of why President Putin started the BRIC system in the early two thousands. Now it has expanded to include South Africa. Adding the S to the original acronym. In August, they had their yearly meeting in which more countries like Honduras received an invitation to join. This is important. Why? Because they share borders south of us. John made a great point about another reason countries like Ecuador are turning, no draconian demands. America puts such insane demands on countries receiving "aid"
Chapter 46: What can you do
"Ask not what can my country do for me, but what can I do for my country." John Kennedy
I do agree with John in this chapter, we as Americans MUST change our mindset. Instead of everything being about what we have and can purchase, ask how I can maximize my purchase. What to hell does that mean? Instead of buying one use zip lock bags, buy bags you can keep using over and over. Amazon and most stores carry them now. Let's keep our garbage output to a minimum. Stop being so damn selfish.
Chapter 47: Things You Can Do
"The planet is fine. The people are fucked." George Carlin
This chapter goes into things that we can each do on individual levels. At any point in our lives.
