Confessions of an Economic Hitman

Exctract from Zeitgeist: Addendum featuring "ecomomic hitman" John Perkins.

The YouTube uploader wrote:

I'm uploading this in connection with the financial crisis in Greece and Europe. Many North Europeans think Greece and Europe is in crisis because the Greeks lived more luxarious that they could afford.

The truth is far from that. Funny, I saw this movie/documentary (Zeitgeist 2 [addendum]) before the crisis broke out in Greece. Watching the things 2 years now, I recognise the pattern that is described by this ex-economic hitman (John Perkins) in this clip, which is a small part of the Zeitgeist 2 documentary which is REALLY worth watching. Now I can tell with cerntainty, Greece is not paying for its thoughtlessness. Greece is right now under the attack of economic hitmen. And I'm afraid so is the whole Europe, country after country.
