During a recorded meeting between President Nixon and CIA director Helms along with the IC officials October 8, 1971, Nixon is attempting to get information about the Bay of Pigs from the I.C. (intelligence community). He wasn't on a need to know basis, like all presidents. Obviously, the CIA doesn't open the secret files and share them with the POTUS. While Nixon is pleading with the I.C. he makes the statements that I know what we did in Iran and I know Guatemala. In other words, Nixon knew that the US assassinated Arbenz and Mossedegh.
Nixon knew the CIA was doing the wet work in order to assassinate the President of Iran and the PM Guatemala.
One only needs to look at what transpired after the book came out. Government officials, along with the media, immediately began to discredit Perkins and attempted to discredit him.
This should automatically raise your ire. Why are the media outlets and government officials commenting critically on a biography? While at the same time, they label Perkins a conspiracy theorist.
This is right out of Nixon's playbook. First off, discredit Perkins, and then attack him. This should tell you how accurate this book is. I haven't read the second Perkins book yet, but by all accounts as to what he says, it lines up very well.
One only needs to look at what is going on in Venezuela today. I am sure when the drone exploded above Maduro's head Perkins just laughter and said, "the CIA sure stepped in it this time". Everything Perkins describes in his book is exactly what is happening in Venezuela today. Hopefully our POTUS doesn't fall for this.
Great book.

About John Perkins
As Chief Economist at a major international consulting firm, John Perkins advised the World Bank, United Nations, IMF, U.S. Treasury Department, Fortune 500 corporations, and countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. He worked directly with heads of state and CEOs of major companies, and his books on economics and geo-politics have sold more than 1 million copies, spent many months on the New York Times and other bestseller lists, and are published in over 30 languages.
The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
The latest version of this shocking bestseller!
In this astonishing tell-all book, former economic hit man (EHM) John Perkins shares new details about the ways he and others cheated countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars. Then he reveals how the deadly EHM cancer he helped create has spread far more widely and deeply than ever in the United States and everywhere else—to become the dominant system of business, government, and society today. Finally, he gives an insider view of what we each can do to change it.
- Expanded edition with 15 new chapters
- Detailed chronology documenting EHM activity since the first edition was published in 2004
- Exclusive insider views from John Perkins
Touching the Jaguar: Transforming Fear into Action to Change Our Lives and the World
Coming soon! As a young Peace Corps volunteer dying in Ecuador, John Perkins was saved by a shaman who taught him to “touch the jaguar”—to change his perception of what he feared and transform it into energy for positive action. Then he became an “economic hit man,” convincing developing countries to build huge projects that put them perpetually in debt to the World Bank and other US-controlled institutions—a new form of colonialism. Returning to the Amazon and seeing the damage foreign companies had done opened his eyes to the destructive impact of his work. In this book coming in the summer of 2020, Perkins details the powerful influence shamanism had on his transformation to decolonizer. He discusses his work with native people in Latin America and provides a strategy for us to overcome our fears, decolonize our minds, and collaborate in new ways to heal the wounds inflicted on our planet.
