John Perkins and his ilk will look better in horizontal stripes behind vertical bars, breaking rocks to avoid boredom.

You don't understand the very first thing about US foreign policy, 911, Hugo Chavez and the recent coup in Honduras until you've read Confessions of an Economic Hitman. Just watch the spin on fox that Oliver Stone shows in his new film South of the Border about Chavez and Morales being "dictators" and "drug addicts". Bald faced lies from the self-called "fair and balanced" people at fox. Unfortunately, so many Americans are seduced by these lies. If they only knew the truth...

MSNBC is ignoring the real issues with John Perkins, they're trying to steer the conversation towards Wall Street and away from EHM activites which caused this mess. This is because MSNBC is part of the corporatocracy themselves.

Although, I'm surprised that they even had him on! Maybe this is a sign of change!

[Panch0Mx]

We need to stop USA corporations from stealing Latin America natural resources and to stop them from attacking democratically elected presidents.

[bhavanadee]

The idea of a corporate charter that is renewable only if it is demonstrably socially and environmentally ethical is being well put forward by the Network of Spiritual Progressives -- check it out!

[ThorGoLucky]

I like the idea of bringing back the concept of the corporate charter, or at very least make them accountable for their actions. It's bizarre that corporations have the rights as individuals and that must change.

Great segment, John Perkins has great ideas. Read his books.

[drpapa26]

I'm so tired of these talking heads on tv. Who put a quarter in this guy??? He blabbers away for over half the interview. Perkins can barely get his points across, while the other guy lulls both him and the viewers to sleep with nonsense. Maybe thats his job...

[madgreek68]

He isnt a self described economic hitman as if he named himself that.Thats what they call guys like him when he did what he did.His book Confesions of an Economic Hitman is an Awesome book!! Every American citizen should read it!!!!Its an eye opener!!!

3:47 on.

Exactly, pure capitalism is NOT built into this republic, and our constitution reflects that. Our financial system is just an overlay, and a means to exchange goods and services. Corporations are the same. Therefore, government should mostly stay out of the free market, and capitalism should stay out of our government.

Aloha from Hawai'i,

We here in occupied Hawai'i are no strangers to insider greed. Ever since the US salivated over what was to become Pearl Harbour; and there were pearls there just like Tahiti- until silt and military trash killed the oysters, and haole sons of missionaries forced the King by stranglehold tariffs and threat of death to give it to the Americans, and accept their Bayonet" Constitution. Further, later under the excuse of yet another war, again putting Hawai'i in harms way WW2.

[tylerundergod]

Love Goldman Sachs, they made me so much money. get rich you have to go with the criminals, be an insider.

[controlpopulation]

Perkins is right on. It all starts with leadership and their greed. Change that and you change the world.

[Bilakaifa]

greed runs the world. Risk keeps greed in check. Eliminate the proper market mechanism of risk and you let greed run free without it's counterpart. So, to say greed is the culprit is very superficial and unintelligent. You are greedy, as am I and everyone else who wants to get more for their buck while doing less. Deny this and you deny reality. So, attack the disease and not the symptoms. The government is who gives us this perceived safety while at the same time eliminating the risk factor...

[roseagain2]

You don't need the federal government to accomplish those things. A free market will decide what works best!

[chromedreamz]

John perkins was on MSM!!!!!

[scottrex33]

Great book hood winked. But this journalist, i do not trust him. He has been lying to us. Now he wants to report real news. He is a con man. Look out for him. What will he lie about next.

[VitalemRecords]

What has he lied about?

[scottrex33]

Look. Three months ago this guy was saying that the fed was totally trustworthy. Now he has flipped the script real quick. He said gitner and bernake were geniuses. He believes al gore invented the INTERNET. Come on man. He is a clown meant for the stage. Taxed enough already. Tea... How can anyone call them selves a professional journalist. He makes dick jokes on national tv about a legitimate American movement. down with mainstreem media. The hit-man is honest.

[VitalemRecords]

I don't understand your logic. "How can anyone call themselves a professional journalist"? do you really need an answer to that question?

And they call themselves "teabaggers" I think it's their own fault - it's a pretty obvious reference. And It is not a legitimate movement - it started out that way, but has morphed into a corporate dog and pony show financed by the higher-ups in order to screw regular people out of good health care. Go ahead and criticize the guy, but have something real

[milhuisen]

Where does he say Al Gore invented the internet ?

[myeyepie]

total BS fascism
