And there was a model that was put together.
Simon DixonGUEST
And so you could really see that if you've read books like Confessions of an Economic Hitman, I really saw the other side of that model.
Simon DixonGUEST
You have these consulting firms that are connected to these higher levels of intelligence and military networks.
Simon DixonGUEST
You have resources, you have oil and gas companies, and you have wars that are effectively working for that interest.
Lance MigliaccioHOST
We could probably sit and just have a show just about all their different nefarious operations.
Lance MigliaccioHOST
Have you ever read a book by John Perkins, Confessions of an Economic Hitman?

I haven't read that, but one of the things I wanted to say was you'd mentioned Roger Stone.
Kent HeckenlivelyGUEST
And in all of my work and everything, I'm covering these crimes and these corruption.
ShannonHOST
And I remember I always remember The Alchemist.
ShannonHOST
And the other was Confessions of an Economic Hitman.
ShannonHOST

By the way, Confessions of an Economic Hitman, I think is the book you are referring to.
Ben KelleranGUEST
That's the
RobHOST
one.
Matt EmbryGUEST
I think that this referendum is really important, but I don't think that this movement is going anywhere.
Matt EmbryGUEST
And I think with our film, well, we have John Perkins in it, who wrote the bestselling, the New York Times bestselling book, Confessions of an Economic Hitman.
Matt EmbryGUEST
And so, you know, John, he's a whistleblower.
Matt EmbryGUEST
I mean, he worked on the inside showing how the U.S. will use different tactics to pressure countries economically to challenge their sovereignty.
Afshin RattansiHOST
All this from institutions that, according to one whistleblower, outsources tools including rigged elections, payoffs, extortion, sex and murder.
Afshin RattansiHOST

...
Matt EmbryGUEST
Confessions of an Economic Hit Man.
Matt EmbryGUEST
And this may seem like a tangent for people who watch the film, but I don't think it is.
Kevin TuckerHOST

Tracy WorcesterGUEST
There's a very good book called The Confessions of an Economic Hitman by John Perkin.
Tracy WorcesterGUEST
And there are books like that, I don't read a lot, but actually books like that that are seminal, that really show you what's going on in the world.
Tracy WorcesterGUEST
Or William Engdahl's A Century of War.
Matt RoeskeHOST
Think about that wasted energy.
Matt RoeskeHOST
So use that energy to make a change, whether that be a video, whether that be a book, whether that be a postcard, whether that be a flyer, whether that be going to the local community college and handing out this book to every single person, right? Or Confessions of an Economic Hit Man to every single student.
Matt RoeskeHOST
Imagine that.
Matt RoeskeHOST
Imagine if every single college student had to read Confessions of an Economic Hit Man.
Matt RoeskeHOST
Boy, oh boy, or boy, oh goy, would people all of a sudden wake up and realize what's going on.
Matt RoeskeHOST
So that's why I say instead of fighting in the chat and arguing with each other over nonsense that's a waste of time, educate people.
Charlie RobinsonHOST
