John Perkins

La historia secreta del imperio americano. Gángsters económicos, asesinos a sueldo y toda la verdad sobre la corrupción global John Perkins, autor de uno de los títulos más significativos de los últimos años, Confesiones de un gangster economico, vuelve con un nuevo libro imprescindible para conocer el origen y las repercusiones de la crisis que estamos viviendo. En esta nueva obra, tan seductora como una novela de espias pero mucho mas real e inquietante, recorre las zonas calientes del planeta Asia, Africa, Oriente Medio y Latinoamerica para narrar en primera persona lo que muchos saben pero nadie se atrevia a contar: hasta donde llegan el gobierno americano y sus aliados occidentales para mantener su hegemonia en el mundo. Guerras, presidentes democraticos asesinados, trabajadores en condiciones infrahumanas? La globalizacion, dice Perkins, no es mas que una corrupcion global, el robo y el expolio sistematico de los paises ricos a los mas pobres. Pero un sistema basado en la inestabilidad no es seguro ni sostenible y solo conociendo la magnitud de los hechos podremos rectificar.

En este fascinante testimonio, John Perkins relata su particular trayectoria personal, de servidor obediente del Imperio a defensor apasionado de los derechos de los oprimidos. Discretamente seleccionado por la Agencia Nacional de Seguridad estadounidense y puesto en la nomina de una firma internacional de consultoria, estuvo en Indonesia, Panama, Ecuador, Colombia, Arabia Saudi, Iran y otros paises estrategicamente importantes del planeta. Su mision consistio en fomentar medidas politicas favorables a los intereses de lo que el autor llama la corporatocracia estadounidense (la alianza entre la administracion, la banca y las corporaciones). En apariencia se trataba de remediar la pobreza, pero en la practica esas politicas alienaban a los paises y acabaron conduciendo al 11-S y al aumento del odio contra los EE.UU. Confesiones de un gangster economico , el libro que muchos han tratado de impedir, expone los aspectos menos conocidos del sistema que promueve la globalizacion y conduce a la pauperizacion de millones de seres humanos.

Un gangster económico nos revela por qué la economía mundial se ha venido abajo y qué hay que hacer para rehacerlaJohn Perkins, reconocido autor de Confesiones de un gángster económico y La historia secreta del imperio americano, aborda en su nueva obra un tema de maxima actualidad: la crisis economica mundial. Para Perkins, lejos de estar remitiendo, esta recesion es solo la antesala de un tsunami global. El fiasco de las hipotecas de alto riesgo, la quiebra de la industria bancaria, el creciente desempleo... son sintomas del agotamiento del capitalismo en su forma mas virulenta, basado en la privatizacion de los recursos, en un poder ilimitado por parte de las grandes corporaciones, en el fomento de una deuda tan extrema que nos convierte en esclavos de hecho. Desde una perspectiva privilegiada, recupera su experiencia como gangster economico al servicio de las grandes corporaciones para internarnos en los mas oscuros recovecos del capitalismo depredador. Una obra indispensable, que ofrece propuestas concretas para empezar a cambiar un modelo economico insostenible.

Perkins books demonstrate how the age-old shamanic techniques of some of the worlds most primitive peoples have sparked a revolution in modern concepts about healing, the subconscious, and the powers each of us has to alter individual and communal reality.This groundbreaking book is John Perkinss firsthand account of his experiences with the shamanic technique of psychonavigation--a method of traveling outside the body by means of visions and dream wanderings--and his encounters with the Shuar of the Amazon, the Quechua of the Andes, and the Bugis of Indonesia. Shuar shamans psychonavigate for the purposes of hunting and healing, while the Bugis, among the most renowned sailors of the world, use these techniques to navigate without the aid of charts and compasses. Perkins explains how these techniques work and how the people of these indigenous cultures psychonavigate to both distant physical destinations and sources of inner wisdom. Throughout history, psychonavigation has been practiced by highly creative minds such as Beethoven, Jung, and Einstein. Perkinss riveting narrative takes us on a journey of personal discovery as he learns the great value of these techniques and their relevance not only to individual well-being, but to the health of the environment and of the world at large. He reveals how by attuning to the positive forces in nature and communicating with our inner guides we all can become psychonavigators, finding our way to wise decisions and developing innovative approaches to the challenges we face as individuals and a world community.

Former Economic Hit Man John Perkins goes behind the scenes of the current geopolitical crisis and offers bold solutions to our most pressing problems.

To achieve material success in a technologically advanced society, it may be necessary to subject yourself to a great deal of stress. However, it is not necessary to stay tense. The president of Independent Power Systems International, John Perkins manages large-scale projects aimed at conserving energy and improving the environment. The Stress-Free Habit is the result of his twenty years of experience as a management consultant to governmental organizations and businesses in countries as diverse as Ecuador, Indonesia, Egypt, Mexico, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. The author points out that stress is all around us and, while it is often useful and even essential, it can also be extremely harmful. While other cultures incorporate very specific methods of stress management as part of their daily routines, such methods are noticeably absent from the fabric of modern Western culture.Perkins emphasizes that we can--and should--seek out these techniques wherever they are to be found and put them into practice in our own lives. Throughout his travels and contacts with a variety of native cultures, the author has observed and integrated traditional practices that have enabled him and his co-workers to manage stress effectively and achieve high levels of success. The Stress-Free Habit consolidates this practical wisdom in a simple easy-to-follow eight-step program. Those who practice it experience physical and psychological benefits, including elimination of alcohol and drug abuse, insomnia, headache, diarrhea, and nervous disorders, as well as a lower probability of heart attack. The principles of The Stress-Free Habit come to life in tales of remarkable encounters with individuals who have mastered the art of creative living. Their stories are a testament to techniques of stress management that can help you live a longer, more relaxed, and more productive life.

Perkins insiders view leads him to crisis of conscience--to the realization that he must devote himself to work which will foster a world-wide awareness of the sanctity of indigenous peoples, their cultures, and their environments. Perkins books demonstrate how the age-old shamanic techniques of some of the worlds most primitive peoples have sparked a revolution in modern concepts about healing, the subconscious, and the powers each of us has to alter individual and communal reality. Many indigenous cultures practice shapeshifting. Native American hunters take on the spirit of their prey to ensure a successful hunt; Asian medicine men ingest a sickness to heal the one afflicted; Amazon warriors become jaguars to soundlessly travel the jungle. Those who shapeshift understand that all of life is energy and that by focusing your intent you can change energetic patterns, rendering a new form. Shapeshifting can occur on three levels: cellular--transforming from human to plant or animal; personal--becoming a new self or leaving an addiction behind; and institutional--creating a new business or cultural identity. Since 1968, master shamans in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas have been training John Perkins to teach the industrial world about the powerful techniques involved in shapeshifting. His groundbreaking book takes you to deserts and jungles, mountains and oceans, medical research centers and corporate board rooms to learn the step-by-step methods of this practice that integrates ancient and modern techniques to bring about profound healing.

Muchas culturas indígenas practican la transmutación. Los cazadores nativos norteamericanos adoptan el espíritu de su presa para tener éxito en la cacería. Los médicos asiáticos "ingieren" una enfermedad para curar a la persona que la padece. Los guerreros del Amazonas se convierten en jaguares para recorrer silenciosamente la selva. Los transmutantes saben que todo ser vivo es energia, y que concentrandonos en nuestra intencion podemos cambiar nuestros patrones energeticos, dando lugar a una nueva forma. La transmutacion puede suceder en tres niveles: el celular (la transformacion de un ser humano en una planta o animal, o la perdida de peso), el personal (la conversion en un nuevo ser, o el abandono de una adiccion) y el institucional (la creacion de una nueva identidad cultural o comercial).Desde 1968, John Perkins ha sido entrenado por maestros chamanes de Africa, Asia, Oriente Medio y America para que muestre al mundo industrial las poderosas tecnicas relacionadas con la transmutacion . Su innovador libro nos lleva a desiertos y selvas, a montañas y mares, a centros de investigacion medica y a juntas directivas corporativas, para aprender, paso a paso, los metodos de esta practica que integra tecnicas antiguas y modernas para lograr una curacion profunda.

Then he reveals how the deadly EHM cancer he helped create has spread far more widely and deeply than ever in the US and everywhere elseto 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.

If the EHMs cant maintain the corrupt status quo through nonviolent coercion, the jackal assassins swoop in. The heart of this book is a completely new section, over 100 pages long, that exposes the fact that all the EHM and jackal toolsfalse economics, false promises, threats, bribes, extortion, debt, deception, coups, assassinations, unbridled military powerare used around the world today exponentially more than during the era Perkins exposed over a decade ago. As dark as the story gets, this reformed EHM also provides hope.
