Confessions of an Economic Hit Man - John Perkins

Sometime ago in my highscool years. I was very much into Conspiracy Theories. This was due to all my years feeling that something is wrong with this world.
I came across this book Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
by John Perkins. I'm not sure how this book came into my hands, but it did at a time in my life when I was mad at the world. I smile as I say this, because this is something every teenager can relate to. I wanted the knowledge require to change the world and this is how I still feel, I handle my anger better now a days.
The book was dedicated to someone very close to me and my country. He was my mother's favorite president. Here is John Perkins words of dedication:

"I wrote that in 1982, as the beginning of a book with the working title, Conscience of an Economic Hit Man. The book was dedicated to the presidents of two countries, men who had been my clients, whom I respected and thought of as kindred spirits—Jaime Roldós, president of Ecuador, and Omar Torrijos, president of Panama. Both had just died in fiery crashes. Their deaths were not accidental. They were assassinated because they opposed that fraternity of corporate, government, and banking heads whose goal is global empire. We EHMs failed to bring Roldós and Torrijos around, and the other type of hit men, the CIA-sanctioned jackals who were always right behind us, stepped in."

On December 20th 1989 I was five years old. I heard bombs early in the morning, it was still dark. My mother had sent me to my aunt's house, she lived right near Tocument International Airport at the time.
The bombs were so loud the ground would shake. My 3 cousins and I spent hours under the bed, hearing bombs and the mob in the streets screaming. For a 5 year old it seemed like the end of the world. Now I remember this time in my life as a movie; but as I got older I could see the change and the nightmare that had just started for my country on that December month in 1989.
The ones in power do not bomb your country and take their weapons back. They leave them there so the killing can continue; but its easier now. They don't have to fire the guns; we fire them against each other. Murder rates and suicides in my country sky rocketed after 1989.
This book opened up my eyes to what might be the truth, specially after Manuel Noriega became "chief executive officer" right after Omar Torrijos was killed in an "accidental" plane crash. Manuel Noriega was a CIA agent at the time.
The president of Ecuador Jaime Roldós was killed a month before, the same year (1981)in an "accidental" plane crash. Jiame Roldos was opposing U.S. oil companies and displeasing the U.S. government while Omar Torrijos opposed U.S. interest in the control of the Panama Canal. Omar Torrijos died, but he gave us our country back before he did. Thank you.

This brings me to...why did I write this blog? Well this book, the story, is a part of me and so I leave some of my thoughts here.
Question everything and don't be afraid to ask, even if you ask yourself the answers will come. Maybe a book, video, or a song will bring the answer.
This was a great book, I really enjoyed it. The stories in this book are not only the ones from these two great presidents, but it goes as far out as the Middle East.
Economic Hitmans were there first, now there is war.
