From our archives: "Economic hit-man" John Perkins tells fascinating behind-the-scenes stories of exactly how the US-based corporate empire imposes its will (& greed) on developing countries.
This week he tells how the US overthrew Iran's democratic government in 1953 ... how he himself was recruited by the NSA & trained to serve the empire ... and of his early failures to corrupt the governments of Panama & Ecuador (ca. 1980). (Time to send in the "jackals"!)
Recorded by John Schwenk on January 10, 2005, in West Hartford, CT. Many thanks to John for the recording--which I have slightly condensed for radio broadcast.
New World Notes is produced under the auspices (Latin for "misleading assumptions") of WWUH-FM, a community service of that beacon of light in darkest Connecticut, the University of Hartford.
Note to radio stations: No intro or outro music.
Previously broadcast in November 2008. Files downloaded from the links, below, are identified as #191.
Next week: The REAL reason the US invaded Panama & overthrew Noriega in 1989. Plus Perkins' (and the empire's) great success in Saudi Arabia--a "success" that ensured future disasters.
