John Perkins | USAID, Economic Hit Men, Iran, & The China Model
Four Pillars of Imperialism, U.S. Military Spending vs. Chinese Trade
The discussion outlines the four pillars of the economic hitman strategy: fear, debt, anxiety over scarcity, and divide and conquer. Perkins explains how the U.S. shifted focus to military intervention after 9-11, neglecting regions like Latin America and Africa. This shift allowed China to become the number one trading partner for 80% of the world's countries by 2020 through economic investment rather than warfare.
