confessions of an economic hit man

GRITtv: The Secret Global Empire(s): Russ Baker & John Perkins

See video

U.S. history has seen many presidents elected on a wave of progressive promises, only to see them compromise again and again once in office, caving to the very interests, military and corporate, that they railed against so effectively. Barack Obama is only the latest to get elected on a promise to end a war and take care of working people, only to preside over an administration stacked with Wall Street types and wind up continuing a war he wanted to wind down.

John Perkins and Russ Baker talk about shady global conspiracies, corporate overlords, and the military-industrial complex, and what we can do about it. In the new film "Collapse," filmmaker Chris Smith follows Michael Ruppert, a former Los Angeles police officer who predicted the economic crisis. But his theories often range into the apocalyptic. Is he a genius, or just paranoid? A video from New America Media takes a look at the struggles of veterans to readjust to civilian life, and asks what more we could be doing to truly honor them.
