HLT # 174 - JOHN PERKINS

My guest today unabashedly calls himself an Economic Hit Man. After an episodic career in the administration of US interests in every global hot-spot known to man and media, Islander JOHN PERKINS had, on 9.11, the inspiration to write about his work. This decision, as one might expect, was not met with universal approval, even leading to an assassination attempt. Undaunted, John tells of his adventures in a series of books, all New York Times best-sellers. He apprenticed with shamans when he lived in the Amazon rainforest from 1968 to 1971 and has since studied with shamans from many different cultures. His eleven books on economics, shamanism, and transformation have been on the New York Times bestseller list for more than 70 weeks, sold millions of copies, and are published in at least 38 languages.

In our discussion today, we create the verbal bridge between his covert dealings in the International Intelligence communities, to his writing - and now with the release of a feature length documentary that we will debut in two weeks.

If this all sounds like something from a James Bond or Jack Bauer episode, you have the right idea. Fascinating, dramatic, dangerous and as important as any back-story could want to be, the arc of John’s transformation holds the keys to the successful sustainability of our community, and quite possibly to our civilization. Please take a listen and for deeper detail check out his sites. Here is his link at IMDB. 

 Please note that advance orders for his latest work, The Art of the Steal, yes, it is exactly what you think it is, can be found here. Signed copies from Eagle Harbor Books are also available. I highly recommend.
