John Perkins - The Secret History of the American Empire

[SuperYesyesyo]

@halcyon0830 that`s so true.

[thestroll1]

another 'global warming' NUT!

[dw3443a]

It seems to me by means of my limited perspective that we in America have a great deal of choice; not as much as would be ideal but choice none the less. The true secret is that the individual citizen has always been in control. Wether through votes in the booth or in corporate terms votes with our dollars. The key is education of the population so that they "vote" aware of the consequences of their actions. Informed or not the responsibility for the countries actions always belongs to us.

[rokitjon]

-I DO NOT BELIEVE America is using 25% of the Earths resources.That number doesn't add up.

-Martin Luther King was a Marxist,plagiarist,whore monger and Rosa Parks wouldn't have been riding any bus if she were in Africa.

-Non-Whites do not practice birth control,so what is going to happen when these people start living beyond their level of sustainability?Raise OUR taxes??

-I thought you were a straight up Perkins,but now you sound like Al Gore,liberal to the extreme and now a Green Hitman!

[greenearthnazi20204u]

he is full of shit American is base on slavery ,class system ,devil worship ,war and belief.s he does tell true about ,Economic Hit Man

[faraon2012]

I $AY; ORDO AD CHAO$ IS READY HERE*2012.??? WAKE-UP= PEOPLE ARE $LAVE$=DOLAR $NAKE REPTILE=ONE-$=IN GOD WE TRUST.???? WTF

[MrNormanski]

skip to about 4:20 on this video. not trying to be ironic or "hip" but ahhhh seriously ahhhh thats ahhh where this video is ahhhh..... not annoying

[eugkra34]

I would really like to know what got this guy into the profession he went into, and what got him out of it.

[jergenjerk]

@eugkra34 read "confessions of an economic hitman" great story

[conkio59]

We see that large corporations and the banks have acquired a large percentage of the world's wealth and this percentage will continue to grow. If we aren't already there, we are certainly heading for a new Dark Ages. To quote Winston Churchill, "Those that fail to learn from history, are doomed to repeat it."

[conkio59]

The Catholic Church controlled what was and wasn't allowed, in every facet of life, all of which had very little to do with Christianity. In the same manner, we see today that Democracy is used as a front for actions that are anything but democratic, and anyone that oposes these actions is branded as undemocratic or as unpatriotic, in the same way that anyone who opposed the Cathilic Church was called a heretic.

[miss3v3lyn]

@conkio59 Very true! Anybody who opposes Democracy (Demoncracy or Demonic rulership) is labelled a terrorist, in the same way those who oppose or refutes wrong Church Doctrines are labelled Heretics.

[conkio59]

John Perkins makes the statement, as he has done in quite a few of the videos he appears in, that this is the first time that an empire has been created without the use of an army, one created by stealth. This is not entirely true. It has been done before, by the Catholic Church, which created an empire that controlled monarchs and countries, and led to what we call the Dark Ages.

[pigeonpsycho]

@conkio59 The Vatican still controls the world. Through treaties signed 1000 years ago with the King of England, Britains allegiance lies with the Vatican. Through Britain they control America with treaties and loans given to the 'rebels' during the revolutionary war.

[Rhythm515]

The individual, um, ah, um should never again be, um, ah, um be allowed to ah, um, ah be allowed to ah, um, um , ah introduce anything or ah, um anyone again!

[leesoarez]

damn, they should've cut off the intro with the boring bonesack chatterbox and begin with J. Perkins ..it made me wanna punch his skinny talking ass hard in the mouth

[healingarts]

This great to know that somebody cares. Wish we all could be more involved directly and make even larger impact !!!!

[louism2wash]

Democrat or Republican, JP is talking about what many people on both sides of the political spectrum have known for a long time and why groups like the Tea Party are popping up. Money rules politics and the idea of "Taxation without representation," the idea that brought about the first Tea Party, is alive and well in our government. Elected officials that are supposed to serve the people are serving corporations or some other big-money institution, not our interests as citizens.

[DeweyZinnChomskyFisk]

@louism2wash the Tea Party is funded and supported by corporate interests and receives positive coverage on corporate media

[hollyannblss]

Some of us will have to "kick'm in the shins and run like hell!!!" And the rest of us will have to be there to stand firm and protect till the bullies of the world get it!.....PS: down with smoking! lol (couldn't resist)

[3RDMILLENNIUMCHESS]

AND ,UMM, UH, WHO TEACHES YOUR SPEECH DEPARTMENT.?THEY SUCK AND, UMM, UHH ,

[MrMedicinebox]

Do you know why this guy targets a a young audience? They are the only ones gullible enough to swallow what he is selling.

[lewis121701]

If he is who he claims he is, then why is he still breathing?

[guyNbluejeans]

@lewis121701 That's what I was wondering.

[XpEAnUTBuTtERsUckSX]

@lewis121701 Because if he goes missing it will only confirm what he is saying.

[TAHOKMUSIC]

@lewis121701 same reason why Alex Jones, Assange, Rudowolski , Chris Everard are still breathing

[gfbn1998]

@lewis121701  Because he knows the CIA sistem.....

[GeoffTheGiraff]

These topics aren't controversial ! They are the TRUTH! FUCK THE NWO AND THEIR SYSTEM OF FEAR AND VIOLENCE!!!!

[claudius2u]

I wish that those who look up to the founding fathers would speak the facts. Those men were defiant and wanted to establish a nation where the moral values of religion were forbidden to interrupt their practices of Occult. They were deeply religious, but not deeply moral. A simple look into the Occult each was immersed in reveals their ultimate goal of creating a global power to shut off Creator, and His moral commandments. Check it out!

[vanvanbluz]

another issue I have with the book is the fact that he glosses over the reasons why Saudi Arabia would sign a pact with the the USA during the time of the oil embargo.

[vanvanbluz]

I'm reading TSHOAE and some of it seems farfetched like everyone having the understanding that the reason why Israel exists is because the holocaust, but Israel proceeded even ww2!

[bjc2]

@vanvanbluz I have no opinion on this, just pointing out: WWII ended in 1945 and the state of Israel was founded in May 1948.

[914light]

Hmmm..this dude is a buffoon ..he starts off with ..I only care about kids around the world because of my grandson ...what an ass..he is a jackal and calling others one ..Hmmm ..serious ok this guy is a clown ..... why isn't anyone laughing ? your talking about destroying other peoples countries ,,you asshole .. screw this fool... global warming is BS ... your evil agenda dude sucks like you !.. 24 minutes wasted ..this jack ass is a waste of time

[robertomirandas]

global warming isint real, climate change is

[88roro11]

@robertomirandas i concur... and the government is hell corrupt and the government doesnt care about us it just wants to spy on us

[scovell7]

John Perkins repeatedly describes it as an American empire, but I don't think that's accurate. At the highest levels of power are the globalists, who have no allegiance to the U.S. Uh oh, I just heard him say "we all know about global warming." Yes, I know it is a fraud perpetrated by the globalists.

[sssssjjjj1]

this guy is a psycho.......this guy is.....i can't believe you guys can't see what a fuckin' rat this bastard is......

[EndWesternTyranny]

@sssssjjjj1 you are indoctrinated

[herzogsbuick]

this kid is annoying. ah, finally mr. perkins!

[lazer1million]

In another video he says he's never met an evil CEO... ya, ok, they only buy politicians, and assassinate the ones they can't. They profit off of slave shops in authoritarian countries. Not evil though.

And then he is talking about carbon footprints and other junk, which makes me think he is just another 'victim' of his college education. He went out into the real world, saw reality, but that 4 years of bullshit crammed into his brain caused him to snap and turn to some new age garbage.

[tginn07]

@lazer1million You obvioulsly have no understanding of the corporate structure of this country and no knowledge of tax laws and regulations put into place by politicians that our supposively bought by companies. They are not bought, its called freedom of speech, just like an individual can contribute to a particular candidate. Im sure you would have no problem if a union "bought" a politician.

[EndWesternTyranny]

@tginn07 you have a very twisted ideology

[tginn07]

@EndWesternTyranny I never stated ideology anywhere in my statement. Sorry, that you think freedom of speech is such a crazy idea. I can just tell by your username that you are probably some goon that has views further from the social norm than most of the world. Have living in misery and watching other being successful why you complain how our society is corrupt and violent and no one will give 2 shits about what you say.

[EndWesternTyranny]

@tginn07 does insulting people you don't know and can't see through the internet somehow make you feel better about yourself and your twisted ideology?

[tginn07]

@EndWesternTyranny No but putting people in their place makes me feel better. Especially when its some extremist who spouts garbage on the internet.

[EndWesternTyranny]

@tginn07 says the person who is too ignorant to realize that a politician who receives massive corporation donations is bought...

[tginn07]

@EndWesternTyrannyWhatever man i guess trolls will be trolls.

[EndWesternTyranny]

@tginn07 yes because everyone who doesn't share your radical right-wing ideology must be a "troll?" ....

[tginn07]

@EndWesternTyranny Adjective:Radical (esp. of change or action) Relating to or affecting the fundamental nature of something; far-reaching or thorough.

Noun: A person who advocates thorough or complete political or social reform

The definition from Webster. I believe your view fits this definition. Get your facts straight you fucking hipster. I call for no change other than less government involvement which most conservatives and independents agree with.

[EndWesternTyranny]

@tginn07 typical right-wing ideologue who calls anyone who doesn't share his radical, corporate viewpoint a "fucking hipster." you're pathetic. form a thought of your own instead of just repeating what Koch Industries wants you to say...

[tginn07]

@EndWesternTyranny Wait a minute? An idea can not be radical if it is typical. Get at me when you have a coherant thought broseph.

[EndWesternTyranny]

@tginn07 if you're going to try (and fail) to sound intelligent, at least spell "cannot" and "coherent" correctly...

[EndWesternTyranny]

@lazer1million there is no problem with perkins. the problem is that you have been indoctrinated and can't see past that

[lazer1million]

This guy is talking some doublespeak mumbo jumbo.

I listened to hear what he has to say about what he did to third world countries. How western governments, and the corporations that own them, would send in CIA agents and hitmen to whack the opposition.

But then, like at 33:00, he starts rambling about how corporate executives don't want to see more terrorism and pollution. Even though they create the fricking terrorists, either directly or through opposition to their puppet dictators.

[dontaskmewhatithink]

Anyone want green? A deisel engine will run on straight hemp seed oil. Mr. Deisel invented it that way. The fuel of his day was called white fuel & it was straight hemp seed oil. I want my constitution back. I want to grow hemp and make a living while providing clean energy for my state. Vote Ron Paul 2012. "The champion of our Constitution" He has a proven record of upholding the only oath we ask our leader to take.

RON PAUL, THE PEOPLES PRESIDENT, NOT THE MEDIAS.

Join the REVOLUTION today!

[EndWesternTyranny]

@dontaskmewhatithink ron pau is right-wing and supports private tyranny

[StringnSonic]

@dontaskmewhatithink Yes!! It is absolutely outrageous that the growing of hemp is illegal. Hemp as an agricultural product could transform the farming industry in my state.

[dontaskmewhatithink]

Join the RON PAUL REVOLUTION

[gobuddyboy]

if anyone thinks that this guy is a lier is an idiot.

[ghadaelyafi]

He did, if you read his book.

It is the purpose of the book

[kakaobona]

How can he be trusted when he have done so much bad thing towards poor countries? He doesn´t even menchen that he has any regret about it.

[mpthangoldaz]

John ...from stuff I`ve been reading ,watching and listening to your old boss or his enemy/allies are setting up the U.S. ...or all of North America for serious economic failure ,depopulation and perhaps occupation ...maybe rightly so considering the stuff you are divulging as a previous Economic Hitman ... and South America is on the rise ....WOW!

[waterwart]

I wonder if he pee'd in the hottub?

[itismepicasso]

the biggest disease on earth is humans.

[gipeenuts]

@itismepicasso lets remove this disease once and for all

[itismepicasso]

@gipeenuts ahh the aliens from nibiru planet x will come and do the job. they can tell who is with a soul and who is with no soul. they will kill all the soul less monkeys pretending to be godly. pay attention the soul less humans they can't reason or understand abstract or anything complicated. they are animal spirits in godly shape but they are not godly or of god. real humans have souls, but evil spirits & animal spirits do not have a soul. expose the animals for what they really are.

[itismepicasso]

yes mister perkins the low lives of america are going to create a world, lol.

not in a million years. americans are not capable of anything but consuming & stealing other's resources. europe & other places on earth sent all its trash over here. nobody is doing anything to stop the corruption, they have no will or the know how. the website is mayabell. com

[SpecialForceOperator]

I appreciate his candor and courage in exposing the truth that we patriots already knew. However, it does not reduce the significance of his culpability in perpetuating these grievous and immoral/unethical travesties. I will say, that if he were to ask for forgiveness, then we have a duty to grant mercy and forgive him. That is not to say that he should not be held responsible for his participation. We need more people like him.

[MsMaggieOC]

aerosal cans destroyed the ozone layer? yeah, sure, those thousands of nuclear bombs the USA and Russia detonated probably had nothing to do with destroying the atmosphere whatsoever....

[ashburnhouse]

This guy is a fraud.

[martini926]

@ashburnhouse you are fraud.

[whatisdrunkal]

@ashburnhouse That's not an argument. Why should we believe you instead of him? What is your evidence? Don't just throw out blanket accusations and not back them up! It makes you look stupid and unworthy of anyone's attention. But hey, it's youtube not a place where people are actually held accountable for their bullshit, so I guess you fit right in.

thanks for posting this

[TallTorBlond]

Great guy, great message. p.s. You're a better writer than speaker, I counted half a dozen times you were insulting your audience. Don't set your audience up for failure okay? Don't start clapping for your anointed people without telling the audience why they should clap for them. Don't fake out people to put up their hands for your teachers. All in all, good work overall. Peace.♥

[sofiaaveril]

@TallTorBlond Relax, seriously. Ever heard of a joke? If you bother to listen to his message of compassion and peace, pretty sure the last thing he wants to do is walk around insulting people.

we need to start running for office, so we can bring about the change needed

[hplaserjet2001]

Stanley Meyer built a fuel cell that used water instead of gasoline for cars.

His fuel cell split water into hydrogen and oxygen.

The hydrogen was burned to generate energy, a process that reconstituted the water molecules.

He died (murdered) the day after he signed an agreement with the Pentagon.

Prior to his death, Stanley stated that he was repeatedly threatened by oil companies.

[oldspammer]

Google video search (Gene Chip Tatum CIA), & in one of the interviews states that some dominant members of society wanted him to prevent independent H. Ross Perot from keeping his name on the US Presidential ballot by any means necessary. Tatum says he would have intimidated Perot by threatening his wife & children or eventually assassinated Perot if he did not quit the election. Tatum said he refused the contract, but says that someone else was hired instead.

[hplaserjet2001]

@oldspammer

You are right about Chip, he was murdered. His story is very interesting and well worth listening to. The late Ted Gunderson interviewed Chip.

[oldspammer]

The overpopulation problem is solvable--many women's groups have stated that education of women & protection of their rights is key.

Tycoon industrialist bankers would prefer to cause famine, disease, war, & commodity shortages--all through various behind the scenes trickery that dumbed down people who support their political parties believe are all unplanned/ by accident.

These guys create fiat money from nothing & so can bribe almost anyone with weak morals or who are fearful of assassination.

[oldspammer]

Factions of the environmental movement follow dictates of the very tycoon industrialists & bankers who are the evil doers responsible for much death & suffering.

They formulated Agenda 21, & Jimmy Carter's "Global 2000 Report." They have a group spreading contaminated inoculations, another categorizing trade of food that has ruled vitamins & minerals as toxins to limit their recommended daily allowance (CODEX). They control too many things in society & stated intent to dominate/ enslave all.

[hplaserjet2001]

@oldspammer

You are right about contaminated vaccines.

The UN World Health Organization used the smallpox vaccine to spread the AIDS virus and the geographic areas chosen were Uganda and other African countries, Haiti, the USA, Brazil and Japan.

Dr Wolf Szmuness masterminded the Nov/78-Oct/79 and Mar/80-Oct/81 hepatitis B vaccine trials conducted by the Center for Disease Control in New York, San Francisco and 4 other US cities. The hepatitis B vaccine was contained the HIV virus.

[hplaserjet2001]

@oldspammer

The Development of the AIDS virus was funded in 1969 (at the request of the UN World Health Organization [WHO]) through funds obtained by the United States Defense Department. The Defense Department requested and received $10 million via House Bill 15090, which was reviewed in Hearings before the Subcommittee of the Committee on Appropriations, House of Representatives during the ninety-first Congress in review of the Defense Appropriations for 1970.

[hplaserjet2001]

@oldspammer

"I thought it was just a coincidence until we studied the latest findings about the reactions which can be caused by Vaccinia. Now I believe the smallpox vaccine theory is the explanation to the explosion of AIDS." -Pearce Wright, an advisor to the UN World Health Organization, London Times, May 11, 1987

[hplaserjet2001]

@oldspammer

Dr Robert Gallo received US Patent 4647773 to continue the production of HIV in April 1984. As far back as 1971, he was noted as a project officer of the USA Special Virus Program.

Dr Gallo, coupled with the Special Virus Program, had a green light to do whatever it took to develop a special virus for the purpose of population stabilization (eugenics). This is achieved by tainted vaccines and killer viruses.

That special virus was HIV (AIDS).

It's part of Global 2000.

[cheenusj275]

Although Perkins' book might be an "eye-opener" for some, it is in fact a book that should be titled "economic development facts for dummies". It is a 'watered down', skimpy version of the truth. Anyone who has worked within the international development community in Africa, Asia, Middle East or even South America knows exactly how international 'aid' works and other historical summaries, e.g. Bitter Fruit, All the Shah's Men. He speaks the ("softened") truth, but these are not hidden secrets.

[nocternalD]

oooooooh, he's still part of the elite. he mentioned non threat of global warming!

[explorer2101]

@nocternalD

The idea that humans are causing global warming is a BIG CON.

The elite are the ones who are manipulating the public to think that we are causing global warming - as another way to tax the public & reap big profits.

Scientists & Universities in the UK, including Cambridge have been caught blatantly lying & falsifying scientific evidence to fit their flawed 'THEORIES'.

[nocternalD]

how is he not dead?

[explorer2101]

@nocternalD

A few reasons he is not dead. When he wrote 'Confessions of an Economic Hit Man' he told no-one until he had finished it & had lodged a copy with his publisher. If he was killed off at that time, sales would have rocketed

Also he does not recommend governments take back their countries resources into public hands. Nor talks about taxing large corporations more in relation to their huge profits, or closing the loopholes which allow the Corporate Executives to avoid paying taxes

[nocternalD]

@explorer2101 Yeah, i worked out that he was stilll endorsing much of the elitelst policies in another video, it's a bit like David Icke, playing dare with the elite. 'Kill me and that just proves everything i said is true.' And also talk up some of the elitles policies and like David Icke does talk a bit of nonsense here and there. thing is he dosen't need to talk about others things outside being a econimic hitmen anyway :)

[oldspammer]

@nocternalD Clicking on related videos, I became aware of "Debunking David Icke" video. In this video, it proves repeatedly with Icke's own words that he is a student of the Mystery Schools that are the new world order because of his affection for the writings of Alice Bailey--the person who channeled the writings of an inter-dimensional or spiritual demon into a whole bunch of books. This is supposedly where all of Icke's spiritual religious reality oneness with the universe stuff comes from.

[nocternalD]

@oldspammer yes i've seen that but people don't understand the took things from alice baliey and is trying to use them to do good. Alice bailey may have been a 'witch' for the elite or whatever but knowledge she had if discovered will have to me mentioned when discovering what we are capable of.

I think the debunking of David Icke is quite a shallow, one dimensional argument really.

[oldspammer]

@nocternalD There are parts of Icke's research that seem fine to me, but the spiritual oneness reality mind discussions are troublesome. The debunking video talks about energy flows from galactic & universe locations that are characterized by a energy color that communicates with our sun which then communicates this spiritual information to Earth & its inhabitants--us. This is quite the dreamland area of thinking & interpretation that makes Icke resemble Oprah Winfrey & NWO new age stuff?

[nocternalD]

@oldspammer Yes, like i said, he doe talk some nonsense (reptilians), i think it's deliberate, no necessarily to be a shill but certain knowledge if exposed will get you killed on the spot. Even if through being murdered Icke theories will be seen as true. It will be damage limitation to the elite,. I don't think David wants to die so he tries to help but holds back from exposing things which will get him killed instantly.

[wastbs]

How do you like OBAMA now. Expanding and extending the wars he said would end in 6 months if he got elected. And starting more wars. Run off the left side of the road run of the right. What is the difference? We need more parties to pick from.

[explorer2101]

@wastbs

I agree. Obama is just another suited Con Man. Another puppet-whore of the Corporatocracy, progressing the global agenda of the ruling oligarchy.

He was placed into position to convince the American people into thinking they were getting something different.

Next will probably be a woman.

It just indicates how dumbed-down & ignorant the public have become that they are so easily conned in this way.

[oldspammer]

@explorer2101 Maybe, or what others are saying about the US Constitution being written in legalize for the elite using legal terms rather than common-use wordings. Google (constitutor legal definition) It says something like "civil law. He who promised by a simple pact to pay the debt of another; and this is always a principal obligation." To become a country by international law, your group must sign a promissory note to repay international debts owed to other sovereigns a.k.a. a constitution.

[oldspammer]

@explorer2101 US constitution Article 6 does have in it that all foreign debts accumulated during the former US gov'ts known as the US Confederation shall be repaid. Some constitutional scholars say that this is the key part, & the rest of all of it are twisted or tort (contorted) claims for freedom for the undersigned individuals, & not the rest of American society. A word in the middle of a sentence that has a first letter seemingly unnecessarily capitalized, it signifies use of a legal TERM.

[oldspammer]

@explorer2101 Almost all signers of US constitution were British Bar members. US debt was big because the rich guys borrowed 8 million or more gold pieces from the king of France to fund the revolution against England. Ultimately, though, this gold was owed back to England when the French revolution saw King Louis & Antoinette of France beheaded. This loan money was accounted due to the supremacy of European kings back to England. Google video search ("the informer" "new history of America")

[abinosuke]

We always knew about what US was doing with latin america and middle east. But to hear about them from the man who was in involved in those assignments, is a very powreful experience.

Perkins is putting his own life in danger for writing and talking about these matters.

I have a lot of respect for his courange.

He is awakening the American people and the world.

We must start working on makling the world a better place.

[mmacho73]

He kinda resembles Bush Jr.

[Illuminated512]

[RPenta]

This is an interesting and useful video; Perkins get a demerit from me by having to use the mandatory liberal derogatory use of "conspiracy theory"-greed or the desire for profit is not proof of non-conspiracy-that is ass backwards. It is the motive for this conspiracy. Is Perkins claiming greed is an insufficient motive?

By the way-WHO controls these various corporations of which there are many and not all of which are headquartered in USA-I guess that makes it an "international conspiracy".

More people need to see this, and yes, we need to blanket boycott the companies that are in deep with the evil we now face. You can get chipped, play the slave game, and call yourself a civilian, or you can fight on every front against them; inform other, boycott, support the meaningful alternative, and demand a reality befitting a citizen!

[speedrecovery]

I read his book, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man. Very important book.

[itismepicasso]

@speedrecovery sadly most americans have no idea their government is run by people who are warprofiteers. thanks to the public school system & media, americans are clueless ignorant zombies.

[itismepicasso]

@speedrecovery yes I recommend 4 books to people; this one and... Blow Back by Christopher Simpson (many other books by that name make sure you ge the author right.) also Red Mafiya by Robert I Friedman (the government killed him already.) and In Lies We Trust by Horowitz.

[Kllobamo]
