Episode 51 - Hot Leads Cold Cases Guest - John Perkins, Economic Hit Man & Shaman

06/29/12 - The Skeptical Psychic, Nancy du Tertre, host of "Hot Leads Cold Cases" on Para-X and CBS Radios on Fridays, 8pm ET, interviews John Perkins, an economist and shaman best known for his New York Times best-selling book "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man." They talk about what John calls the "corporatocrcy" of a handful of multinational corporations that have begun to literally rule the world and gobble its natural resources, putting both Third World and now First World countries into debt and economic crises. John and Nancy also discuss the destruction of the environment, the loss of 25% of the Amazon rainforest in the last 10 years, the growing Republican movement to eliminate environmental protections, the loss of true democracy for the citizens of the United States after the Supreme Court's decision in Citizen United, the wisdom and prophesies of the South American indigenous peoples about the future of the planet, and shapeshifting and invisibility as ways to transform ourselves and our dreams.
