Kevin LanDenLangdenBerg and I were present at John Perkin’s talk on April 14th. We had a booth set up selling three of Mr. Perkins books including New York Times Best Selling
Confessions of an Economic Hit Man.
John Perkins has lived four lives: as an economic hit man (EHM); as the CEO of a successful alternative energy company, who was rewarded for not disclosing his economic hit man past; as an expert on indigenous cultures and shamanism, a teacher and writer who used his expertise to promote ecology and sustainability while continuing to honor his vow of silence as his life as an economic hit man; and as a writer who, in telling the real-life story about his extraordinary dealings as an EHM, has exposed the world of international intrigue and corruption that is turning the American republic into a global empire despised by increasing numbers of people around the world.
One of the nonprofit organizations Perkins founded and chaired, Dream Change became a model for inspiring people to attain their personal goals, and at the same time, to be more conscious of the impacts their lives have on others and on the planet. While empowering them to transform their communities into a more balanced and sustainable community. The following Dream Change has developed around the world has empowered many people to create organizations with similar missions in many countries.

Many experiences John Perkins talked about during his presentation left you questioning yourself, how can I make an impact? For the first time in history, we are all interconnected. Everyone around the world is facing the same crises, including climate change, overpopulation, diminishing resources, and rising prices for things essential to our lives.
What can we do? How can we help? In this YouTube clip Perkins discusses that we can have a huge impact, and how we can make a difference:
