President, who opposed this concept, eventually risking death by so-called "jackals", the assassins of the secret services, as examples he cites the President Omar Trujillo (Panama, '1981) and Jaime Roldós (Ecuador,' 1981), both of which crashed with the aircraft. Even the assassination of Indira Gandhi (India) he cites. If the jackals 'successful' were not, so the last resort was war. The Iraq war 1991 and 2003 were such wars, but also the Iranian revolution in 1979, the invasion of Panama in 1989, the general strike in Venezuela in 2002 and many other crises. The war triggers are just a pretext ("Saddam was our man, if he were still in office, if he had signed").
After the attacks of 1981 Perkins announced, the alleged for years plagued guilty. He started this book, which, however, appeared because of lucrative job offers and threats until 2003. Too late, say some critics, because today the world is over-indebted, and Perkins tired. Better late than never, I think, because it's still one of the most valuable books that I've read so far. It contains the statements and arguments firsthand to see the disastrous situation of the Third World as not their fault, but as the work of an international financial system that will stop at nothing more. Perkins is highly intelligent and an insider of institutionalized corruption. Today he fights for reconnaissance and warning of his own deeds. His book - brilliant in structure and style - is a bestseller in the US and hopefully soon also in Germany.
FILM TIP: "Google Video John Perkins" there is a mention of him in front of the VFP National Convention (in English), in which he summarizes the main theses of his book in the first 20 minutes. Totally worth it.
