John Perkins

I know I have seen posts here before about him and his books. Didn't know if anyone had seen this before:

4. Thank you, yasmina. Just finished the first, headed for the 2nd and 3rd.

So important. A great introduction for people who haven't yet read his books.

5. You're more than welcome

I had bookmarked this months ago (don't know where I found it) & just now watched it, having finished his second book. As enlightening as those were, I found the videos to be incredible - even though the books had alot more details.

6. K&R!

Excellent summary of our relationship with Saudi Arabia; how we put Saddam Hussein in power and why we tried to punish him, then turned against him; the truly pro-Democracy things that are happening in South America. Why we should support democratic capitalism versus imperialistic capitalism.

7. He has been a catalyst,...hopefully, will continue to be one.

I embrace his courage to share 'what is' (in terms of what "they" could do to him and have threatened him with) and 'what has been' in his life as a whore for corporate america.

I've spread his experience among my circle. They have been impacted.

That's all that counts.

I am grateful for John Perkins' contribution to our lives.

Edited to clarify.
