Plot Twist: Contract on the Hitman

?Contract on the “Economic Hitman”: Murder Inc.

John Perkins wrote an autobiography (Confessions of an Economic Hit Man), about how he was an economic hitman among many covert operators. An economic hitman in my own words is a: Anti-economic influencer or enforcer whose sole objective is to entrap governments with non-viable commitments. These are highly paid and trained professionals who cheat countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars. Their tools according to John include fraudulent financial reports, rigged elections, payoffs, extortion, sex, and murder.

The main aim of (EHMs) is to convince leaders of undeveloped countries to accept substantial development loans for large construction and engineering projects, thus trapping them in a system of "American Influence and control". To touch loosely on the objectives basically, these encompass an increase in income inequality, encourage exploitation of cheap labor and destroy local environments. Perkins describes what he calls a system of "CORPORATOCRACY". They funnel money from the World Bank, the U.S. Agency for International Trade (USAID), and other foreign "aid" corporations and fatten the pockets of a few wealthy families who control Africa's natural resources.

Macro-economic events and fundamentals such as;

1. Inflation:?a decrease in the purchasing power of money, reflected in a general increase in the prices of goods and services in an economy.
2. Exchange rate: rate at which one currency will be exchanged for another, affecting trade and the movement of money between countries. Exchange rates are impacted by both the domestic currency value and the foreign currency value.
3. Financial sector:?a section of the economy made up of firms and institutions that provide financial services to commercial and retail customers. This sector comprises a broad range of industries including banks, investment companies, insurance companies, and real estate firms.

These are the terms rooted in anti-economic regulation imposed into policies and laws driving African countries' economies. The truth of the matter is that the infiltration of economic hitmen into African economics has enabled predatory capitalism. Predatory capitalism refers to the cultural acceptance of domination and exploitation as normal economic practices. Predatory capitalism is a “Systemic problem” for Africa that the continent’s new blood (chosen pioneers) are equipped to solve bringing order into the motherland.

Unprecedented growth in infrastructure development within the continent especially in the East and West parts has been worthy of applause. Since 2017 Africa has tabled some mega-projects which have come to life regardless of the pandemic slow-down. Ghana, Rwanda, and Uganda are on a fast-track mission to grow and things are looking very enterprising and promising for the African continent. The most important question any of us may ask at this point is, “What measures have been put in place to reduce Systemic Risk?” Systemic risk is the risk of disruption in the financial system, potentially having serious negative consequences for the financial system and the real economy. Mega projects sprouting up in Africa since 2017 are boasting some of the highest budgets and shortest critical paths imaginable as far as African-focused growth and development forecasts envisaged.

Unhealthy competition is fuelling suicidal commitments by African governments, drawing them into the deep end of predatory capitalist-infested waters. Loans with inflated interest rates for megastructures, and unpayable debts are planned as bargaining chips for mineral exploitation and political manipulation. The World Bank IBRD-IDA is behind 80% funding of these projects with no holdback whatsoever on the US Dollar cash injection into these governments. Let us not ignore the fact that the 'greenback'/US dollar is going out of circulation within the next 24 -72 months therefore there is a strategy to funnel it into Africa for surety through antieconomic funding contracts based on unrealistic natural resource stakes and brokerages.

John Perkins in his book as earlier stated describes a system he calls corporatocracy. Economic hit-men funnel money from the World Bank, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and other foreign aid organizations into the coffers of huge corporations and the pockets of a few wealthy and influential families who control Africa’s governments.

Strategy: Taking notes from MURDER INC. Plot Twist.

There is always a bigger fish to fry. A plot twist is when the main character in this case is betrayed by his organization or his mentor. It turns out that the main character has been assassinating members of his organization, as a ploy for "Mission Control" to gain power. Once he has outlived his usefulness he is free to become a "Plot Twister" or "Kid Twist”, pun intended. Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand Matthew 12:25. Now that John Perkins has taken the cat out of the bag, the plot has thickened and the structures will stand for the good of the poor.

When the Lord your God brings you into the land he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give you- a land with large, flourishing cities you did not build, houses filled with all kinds of good things you did not provide, wells you did not dig, and vineyards and olive groves you did not plant-then when you eat and are satisfied, be careful that you do not forget the Lord, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery, Deuteronomy 6:10-12.

Conclusion

I have yet to finish reading John Perkins's book "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" (2004), but I have watched "Apology of an Economic Hitman" a 2007 documentary thriller based on the book and I must say, the truth will indeed set us free.
