I recently was directed to look at a lengthy interview of a guy called John Perkins. This interview covers some of what he wrote in his book "Confessions of an Economic Hitman". I recommend you watch this interview as it will give you a new perspective on what some of our "trusted" agencies are up to.
Synopsis: John Perkins was hired by the NSA to work with private consultancies to work deals between resource rich third world countries and the World Bank and other lenders. The idea was to saddle them with debt and then when they inevitably couldn't pay their loans they would be asked for "favours" of whatever kind that was needed at the time (e.g., support a UN resolution, give away resources to a US company). Later he explains the deal between the US and the Saudi Arabian royals to keep oil flowing and prevent further oil shocks.

Forgive me if I don't watch it through......
Hey, it's only 2 hours!
oh well then, hold me back!! only 2 hours? Shame they didn't make it 4. Are you sure you can not find an extended version of the interview? I do hope they bring the movie out!
THis is no different to any sales. Its just couched in a way to sound devios and conspiring. A good sale is one where a buyers weakness ( cant afford it, is doubtfull, thinks your product isn't as good , etc ) is absorbed by leverage. You dont think Boeing gets 787 orders by just agreeing on price..No way! Its called world wide favours and pay backs and it aint a conspiracy at all.
I want the clinton version...short and believable but knowing full well he's lying
and killing people is part of sales gordon?
