John Perkins

from The Delingpod: The James Delingpole Podcast · host James Delingpole

John Perkins, activist and author of the bestselling Confessions of An Economic Hitman series, has a most lively and enjoyable chat with James about: how he helped The Powers That Be pillage and destroy sundry South American economies; what made him realise that this wasn’t a good way to earn a lucrative, rock-star-type living; how he has made amends since; why he hasn’t been bumped off (apart from the time when he almost was…); what it’s really like in the remote Amazon; how he became a shaman…. https://johnperkins.org ↓ ↓ ↓ Tickets are now available for the James x Dick Christmas Special on Saturday, 6th December 2025.

Either they can deliver worldwide to your door - or store it for you in vaults in London and Zurich. You even use it for your pension. Cash out of gold whenever you like: liquidate within 24 hours. https://bit.ly/James-Delingpole-Gold ↓ ↓ How environmentalists are killing the planet, destroying the economy and stealing your children’s future. In Watermelons, an updated edition of his ground-breaking 2011 book, JD tells the shocking true story of how a handful of political activists, green campaigners, voodoo scientists and psychopathic billionaires teamed up to invent a fake crisis called ‘global warming’. This updated edition includes two new chapters which, like a geo-engineered flood, pour cold water on some of the original’s sunny optimism and provide new insights into the diabolical nature of the climate alarmists’ sinister master plan.
