The Secret History of the American Empire: The Truth About Economic Hit Men, Jackals, and How to Change the World

Author John Perkins has 4.6 out of 5 stars (with 513 reviews). It is a New York Times bestseller.

From the author of the phenomenal New York Times bestseller, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man (3rd ed.), comes an exposé of international corruption and an inspired plan to turn the tide for future generations

With an election around the corner, questions of America's military buildup, environmental impact, and foreign policy are on everyone's mind.

Former "Economic Hit Man" John Perkins takes readers behind the scenes of the current geopolitical crisis and offers bold solutions.

This is not a police state, just a security state: Ohio

Drawing on interviews with other EHMs, jackals [the militant U.S. monsters who come in if the economic hitmen cannot "persuade" compliance by client states], CIA operatives, reporters, businessmen, and activists, Perkins reveals the secret history of events that have created the current "American Empire," including:

• How the defeats in Vietnam and Iraq have benefited big business
• The role of Israel as Fortress America in the Middle East
• Tragic repercussions of the IMF's Asian Economic Collapse
• The current Latin American revolution and its lessons for democracy
• U.S. blunders in Tibet, Congo, Lebanon, and Venezuela

From the U.S. military in Iraq to infrastructure development in Indonesia, from Peace Corps volunteers in Africa to jackals in Venezuela, Perkins exposes a conspiracy of corruption that has fueled instability and anti-Americanism around the globe, with consequences reflected in our daily headlines.

Having raised the alarm, Perkins passionately addresses how Americans can work to create a more peaceful and stable world for future generations. More: The Secret History of the American Empire: The Truth About Economic Hit Men, Jackals, and How to Change the World

MK-Ultra is real: victims are suing

(The Kim Iversen Show)

MK-Ultra LSD doc (wiki)

MK-Ultra [a], which stands for "mind control," was a secret, illegal CIA human experimentation program. It was designed and undertaken by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) allegedly to develop procedures and identify hallucinogenic drugs that could be used during interrogations to weaken individuals and force confessions through brainwashing and psychological torture [1].

Dr. Donald Ewen Cameron was just doing his human research (without informed consent), using humans like lab rats in a NAZI detention camp.

The term MKUltra is a CIA cryptonym: "MK" is an arbitrary prefix standing for the Office of Technical Service and "Ultra" is an arbitrary word out of a dictionary used to name this project.

The program has been widely condemned as a violation of individual rights and an example of the CIA's abuse of power, with critics highlighting its disregard for consent and its corrosive impact on democratic principles [2]. More

Are human experimentation activities continuing? Of course they are. Caveat emptor.

NASA re-classified as a spy agency

Why did NASA (Never a Straight Answer) choose a snake's forked tongue for its logo?

NASA, the spy agency?

You want another arms race? Space race? - Both.

(POLITICO) Today [Sept. 26, 2025] we’re unpacking the space agency’s new classification as a national security organization, Lockheed’s plans in space, and more drama over the Discovery space shuttle’s future.

What do readers make of NASA’s rebrand? Send thoughts to adecker@politico.com, on X at @audrey_decker9, and Signal adecker.59. It’s Week 2 with new host, and I’m accepting any book recommendations on the history of NASA.

The Spotlight

NASA's Secret Relationships w/ DoD and CIA

The public has long viewed NASA as the better angel of America’s values, a peaceful institution dedicated to the exploration of the heavens. Not anymore.

The [Trump] White House in August quietly rebranded NASA as an intelligence and national security organization, a striking action that ties the space exploration agency closer to the defense [a euphemism for military-industrial complex] world.

 

While NASA’s basic functions are unlikely to change, the messaging shift could have cascading effects on how it interacts domestically and with U.S. allies.

Soft power: NASA operates a bit like a shadow diplomat [deceiving interlocutors]. While not explicitly aligned with the Pentagon or U.S. State Department, the [newly admitted spying] agency has used its collaborative global role to foster diplomacy and push the executive branch’s international priorities.

• New executive order reclassifies NASA as an intelligence [spying] and security agency (The Debrief)

Why the rebrand?

Don't expose fake moon landing video footage!

The reclassification was in part tied to eliminating employee unions at NASA. The executive order ended the agency’s collective bargaining ability by designating its missions as national security work. Democrats are unhappy about it:

“NASA’s mission has always been the exploration of space, the advancement of science, and collaboration with international partners,” said Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), a former astronaut.

“It’s not [supposed to be] a spy agency. This executive order is just an attempt to strip NASA employees of their collective bargaining rights and compromises the trust and cooperation we’ve built globally that allows us to lead in space.” More

Israel tests its propaganda lies like PR

• IDF terrorists say they have 'completely destroyed' a civilian high-rise [allegedly] being used by Hamas or would you like IDF to deny it until it's proven?

I want you to kill. (U.S.=Uncle Sam)

A Jewish man related to psychotherapist Sigmund Freud invented "public relations" and developed new propaganda techniques. His name is Edward Bernays. It's a form of propaganda and psychological operations when used in war.

Propaganda is a modern Latin word, a form of propagare, meaning "to spread" or "to propagate." Therefore, propaganda means the things to be propagated [5].

Jewish propagandist Eddie Bernays

Originally this word derived from a new administrative body (congregation) of the Catholic Church created in 1622 as part of the Counter-Reformation, called the Congregatio de Propaganda Fide (Congregation for Propagating the Faith [or fidelity to the Vatican's corporate body]), or informally simply Propaganda [3][6].

Its activity was aimed at "propagating" the Roman Catholic [universalist] faith in non-Catholic countries [3]. From the 1790s, the term began being used also to refer to propaganda in secular activities [3].

In English, the cognate began taking a pejorative (negative connotation) in the mid-19th century, when it was used in the political sphere [3]. More

Why Israel forced US into its genocide

Bibi has been at this a lot longer than me.

The reason is simple. It's because it was winning. Isn't that why all powerful militaries call on the empire to help in regional conflicts seeking to expand said empire? It is the US Empire or the "West" in general, as most Jews in power are Ashkenazi Jews and therefore more "European" than Middle Eastern or Mizrahi.

I run the USA, not whoever's president.

(It couldn't be that Israel was starting to lose from over-extending itself, expanding its genocide of "Arabs," that is to say Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank, parts of Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon, to "Aryan" Persians, could it?)

Tel Aviv State of Emergency – Iran launches most powerful retaliation attack on Israel (auto-dubbed)

(Narasi) June 21, 2025: #iran #israel #iranisraelconflict BREAKING NEWS: IRAN’S BIGGEST ATTACK ON ISRAEL JUST HAPPENED! For the first time in the modern "conflict" between Israel and Iran, cluster-warhead ballistic missiles were used on a large scale to pound densely populated areas in Israel such as Tel Aviv, Beersheba, and Ashkelon. This retaliation is considered the most devastating of 2025—in terms of destructive power, missile volume, and impact on Israeli defense systems.

(Update Pertahanan) Iran's 19th devastating retaliation attack on Israel: hundreds of Israeli citizens, most of them Zionists prosecuting a genocide on Palestinians and terrorizing all neighboring countries

🚨 WHAT HAPPENED? Iran launched more than 150 ballistic missiles in two waves of counterattacks on Israeli territory, with dozens of them using cluster warheads, a type of weapon that spreads many small submunitions over a wide area. Defense systems such as Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Arrow 3 were reportedly overwhelmed by this missile dispersion pattern. Some missiles even managed to penetrate Israel’s multi-layered defense system and hit civilian infrastructure directly.

Will Pres. Putin bring peace?

🎯 THIS VIDEO DISCUSSES:

⚠️ What are cluster ballistic missiles, and why are they so deadly? 🧠 How did Iran strategize its military to penetrate Israel's world-class defenses? 🛰️ Why did Israel's advanced defense systems fail to stop all of these missiles? 🔥 Ground evidence: drone footage, CCTV, and reports from civilians at the scene. 📉 Israeli claims vs. ground facts — were there really no casualties as Israeli propagandists and psyop(erators) claim?

🌐 World reaction: the United States, Russia, the United Arab Emirates, and the UN. 💬 THE MOST SURPRISING PART is that Iran appears to be exploiting Israel's technological blind spot: its inability to intercept multiple small targets at once. This is not just a technological retaliation, but a strategic one.

🧭 WHAT IS THE GEOPOLITICAL IMPACT? This attack could be a turning point in the regional conflict. The US is threatening retaliation, Russia is calling for a ceasefire, while Arab countries are choosing to remain silent but cautious. Is this the beginning of a wider escalation? Or just a stern warning from Iran?

We interrupt regularly scheduled programming for this earth-shattering Congressional hearing: UFO Hearing LIVE: Pentagon's UFO report finds 21 cases that can’t be explained (US News | N18G)

(CNBC-TV18) Started streaming on Nov. 15, 2024: UNITED STATES LIVE: US Congress Holds Second Hearing on UFOs in Exposing Truth with ‘Expert Witnesses’ | NASA LIVE.

The Pentagon’s latest report on UFOs has revealed hundreds of new reports of unidentified and unexplained aerial phenomena (UAPs) but no definitive indications suggesting an extraterrestrial origin.

• [This is probably technology that is light years ahead of anything known that we probably built and forgot about, like our anti-gravitic program to use free energy and no solid fuels to move craft at near light speed but forgot to tell Popular Mechanics about it.]

The review includes hundreds of cases of misidentified balloons, birds, and satellites [not to much voluminous tons of swamp gas from the Deep South and their gumbo and chili cookoffs] as well as some that defy easy explanation, such as a near-miss between a commercial airliner and a mysterious object off the coast of New York.

While it isn’t likely to settle any debates over the existence of alien life, the report reflects heightened public interest in the topic and the government’s efforts to provide some answers. Its publication comes a day after House lawmakers called for greater government transparency during a hearing on unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAPs — the government’s term for UFOs.

Journalist Michael Shellenberger tells members of the House of Representatives the orb was "joined by another orb that briefly comes into the frame from the left before rapidly moving again out of the frame."

A video showing a "white orb" UFO coming out of the ocean off Kuwait has been found on the US Department of Defense's own network, a congressional hearing has heard. Shellenberger, the founder of the public news service, said the 13-minute-long high-definition, color video was of the "orb" 20 miles off the Kuwait coast and was filmed from a helicopter.

Giving evidence to House representatives on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs), the now-preferred term for UFOs, journalist Shellenberger said he had been told of the footage by a source in recent weeks.

U.S. House Oversight Committee holds a hearing on reports of “unidentified anomalous phenomena” (UFOs), with former Department of Defense, NASA and others.

The United States Congress will hold a hearing on Wednesday to discuss the topic of UFOs that some lawmakers are hopeful will lead to new information on a subject that is the focus of many conspiracy theorists but has also recently attracted serious attention from government officials.

The House Oversight Committee’s hearing will be titled Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Exposing the Truth. The title refers to UAPs, the new preferred acronym for UFOs, which has become an increasingly popular term among believers – and US officials – to describe mysterious airborne objects.

The hearing will be the second congressional hearing the US Congress has put together in order to “further pull back the curtain on secret UAP research programs conducted by the US government, and undisclosed findings they have yielded,” according to a House statement.

Wednesday’s hearing comes more than a year after the Pentagon was accused of running a secret UFO retrieval program by whistleblower David Grusch, though no evidence has ever emerged to back up these claims. The hearing will be led by Republican representatives Nancy Mace and Glenn Grothman.

The representatives argue in the House’s statement that Americans are frustrated with the lack of transparency by the US government on the topic of UAPs.

“It’s always about oil”: CIA, MI6 staged coup in Iran 70 years ago, destroying democracy in Iran

(Democracy Now!) Aug. 23, 2023: Featured. DN! looks at the 70th anniversary of the August 19, 1953, U.S.-U.K-backed coup in Iran, which took place two years after Iran’s democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh nationalized [took out of private capitalist hands] Iran’s oil industry that had been controlled by the company now known as British Petroleum (BP).

Maus 2024, from camps to cockpits

“If nationalization [socialism] in Iran of oil was successful, this would set a terrible example to other countries where U.S. oil interests were present,” explains Ervand Abrahamian, Iranian historian and author of Oil Crisis in Iran: From Nationalism to Coup d’Etat and The Coup: 1953, The CIA, and the Roots of Modern U.S.-Iranian Relations.

While the CIA has historically taken credit for PM Mosaddegh’s internationally illegal overthrow, “the British have not admitted their leading role,” notes Iranian filmmaker Taghi Amirani, whose documentary film Coup 53 uncovers the influence of MI6 agents who sought to preserve their imperial-era access to Iranian oil and pulled in the Americans by promising a “slice” of the greedy pie.

Seventy years later, says Amirani, “We are still living with the ripples of this disastrous event.” Transcript: democracynow.org.

Russia launches massive retaliation air assault on [US and NATO's proxy war in] Ukraine

(CBS Evening News) Aug. 26, 2024: Russian forces under Pres. Putin launched the largest counterattack air assault of the [US proxy war in] Ukraine, targeting the country's power grid and water plants [the way American forces illegally and strategically did on the civilian population of Iraq during its shock and awe campaign under US Pres. George W. Bush and his string-pulling commander VP Dick Cheney]. At one point, the entire country of Ukraine [which may be a part of Russia the US is interfering with for strategic purposes, sacrificing countless Ukrainians in its war against Russian stability and self-determination] was under an air raid alert and all Ukrainian residents were told to take shelter. Ian Lee has just returned from the front lines in Russia-Ukraine.
