John Perkins: Trump’s ECONOMIC HIT MAN Presidency & Threat to the Global South as US Empire Declines

On this episode of New Order, we speak to former Economic Hitman John Perkins, author of ‘Confessions of an Economic Hit Man’ and ‘Art of the Steal: Trump and the Economic Hit Man Presidency’. He discusses how Donald Trump has laid the ‘economic hitman’ system out in the open with his brazen corruption, how Trump has become the ‘jackal’ with his kidnapping of Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela and the disaster that has been his war on Iran, how Prime Minister Narendra Modi views India’s position in the multipolar world, the ‘4 pillars’ of Trump’s economic hit man Presidency and how India has avoided the debt pillar, how the US’ mistakes around the world have fuelled the rise of the power of China globally, why de-dollarisation is inevitable as the US hegemonic power wanes and the threat of increased violence from the US empire, and much more. Finally, New Order’s Zarah Khan asks questions from you the viewers to Afshin Rattansi. You can send in your questions to be answered to @AfshinRattansi on X to be answered on next week’s episode!  And a question for you, the viewers: What should replace the dollar as the world’s most trusted currency, if anything?
