John Perkins: The Economic Hitman

Economic Hit Man (Iran) -> failing which, The Jackos (Panama, Ecuador), failing which, the Military Invasion (Sadam Hussein, Muamar Gadaffi)


In "Confessions of an Economic Hitman", author John Perkins has detailed his own experience as an EHM (economic hit man) to control and exploit resources of developing nations for the benefit of major US corporations. Perkins says EHMs like him persuade leaders of target countries to hire their firms to do the projects at highly inflated costs which are financed by the World Bank, USAID and regional development banks. The borrowed money and the natural resources extracted flow to the coffers of US corporations while the developing countries are left under heavy debt. The leaders who refuse to cooperate with EHMs are overthrown or assassinated by "Jackals" (Perkins term for CIA agents). If the jackals fail, the US military invades the countries in defiance to bring them to heel.

There can be any number of issues that could be causing these issues, and determining the cause is not always easy. One of the issues you should check for is the presence of any bad sectors on your hard disk. Bad Sectors Bad sectors occur when a portion of the hard disk can no longer be written to or read. When you store something on the hard drive, the information is saved on more than one sector, which may or may not be adjacent to one another. If any sector with information from that file is damaged, it will be impossible to access that file without errors occurring.
