Economic Hitmen

There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by the sword. The other is by debt.
— John Adams

John Perkins - Economic Hitman
#IMF #WorldBank

The precedent for economic hitmen:

Iran 1953

Guatemala 1954

Ecuador 1981

Panama 1981

Venezuela 2002

Iraq 2003

Iraq is the perfect example of how the whole system works:

Step One
The Economic Hitmen

Step Two
The Jackals

Step Three
The Military

An empire was created.

The Corporatocracy act as the Emperor of this Empire. They all work under one primary assumption, and that is that they must maximize profits, regardless of the social and environmental cost.
