John Perkins’ 2004 book, “Confessions of an Economic Hit Man,” spent 73 weeks on the New York Times non-fiction bestseller list and has been translated into 32 languages. 

The 2016 update, “New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man,” brought the story of economic hit men and jackal assassins up to date and chillingly home to the U.S. 

Perkins’ latest book, Touching the Jaguar: Transforming Fear into Action to Change Your Life and the World, details how shamanism, learned in the rain forests of Ecuador, converted him from an “economic hit man” to an activist for transforming what he calls a “failing Death Economy” into a thriving “Life Economy.” 

So what is, exactly, an “economic hit man”? Perkins explaines in this episode of Freedom Mindset Radio.

Did you know that the American Heart Association listed Cocoa Puffs, and a number of other sugar-laden cereals as “heart healthy” for more than a decade? In today’s episode, Curt starts there in warning about canceling ideas with which we don’t agree and consolidating the power of truth determination in the government and a ever-smaller number of corporations.

In recent months, social media companies have stepped up their censorship and bans of discussions about natural health.

What do they have to fear?

We'll discuss this and more with Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, an osteopathic medical doctor, board certified in three specialties. She was the full-time Emergency Medicine physician and Director of a Level II Trauma center from 1986 to 1998. She is the founder of Tenpenny Integrative Medical Center, a medical clinic located near Cleveland, Ohio. 

Opened in 1996, her company provides a natural, holistic approach to getting well and off prescription medications. Her approaches have attracted patients from all 50 states and 17 countries.

Dr Tenpenny has invested nearly 20 years and more than 40,000 hours documenting and exposing the problems associated with vaccines. As an internationally known speaker and author, her many articles have been translated into at least 15 languages. She is a frequent guest on radio and TV to share her knowledge and educate parents on why they should just say no to vaccines.

While the traditional media and politicians focus on flattening “curves” and COVID-19 test results, what will be the overall impact on humanity of the government’s response to the virus?

Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, an osteopathic medical doctor, board-certified in three specialties, joins Freedom Mindset Radio for a discussion of this impact. 

She served as an Emergency Medicine physician and Director of a Level II Trauma center from 1986 to 1998. She is the founder of Tenpenny Integrative Medical Center, a medical clinic located near Cleveland, Ohio. 

Tenpenny highlighted the overal impact on people’s health care.

“I mean, I'm sure there's hundreds, if not thousands of videos of hospital systems all around the country that were empty. We know for a fact that doctors are being laid off, their salaries are being cut back by a third to a half,” she said. “Nurses are being laid off, ancillary personnel in hospitals are being laid off because there's no patients. So there's nobody there. And that they were also very concerned about patients that really do need to get medical care, people that are insulin-dependent, diabetics that have uncontrolled hypertension, maybe people that have cancer.  Or they're missing getting diagnosed with cancer.”

In today’s episode, Curt discusses some lessons from his recent interview with T.K. Coleman. Namely, that humanity’s greatest resource is our ability to use our creative thinking. When we allow our creativity to flow, we can create value for others. When we do that, we create wealth and unleash our freedom and fulfillment.

What does freedom mean to T.K. Coleman, director of entrepreneurial education at FEE and the host of the "Revolution of One" YouTube series?

"Recognizing that I have the permission and the power to be the predominant creative fore in my own life," he said. "It's understanding that power does not begin with a discussion of external realities. It begins with an affirmation of internal reality. That I am not powerful because I happen to have a president that I want. I am not powerful because it happens to be the case that my circumstances agree with me.

"I am powerful because I choose to be a causative force in my own experience."

T.K. is the Director of Entrepreneurial Education at the Foundation for Economic Education and Co-Founder & Education Director of Praxis. He is a prolific writer and speaker with a singular mission: to awaken people to their own creative power.

1. K. describes himself as an entrepreneur first and a motivator second. He's a strong believer in the idea that he has a responsibility to face the everyday challenges of creating value in the free market if he's going to spend his life trying to get other people to believe in free markets.

Does it take money to make money?

“No,” says T.K. Coleman, the director of entrepreneurial education at the Foundation for Economic Education, in today’s episode. “It doesn't take money to make money. It takes value creation to make money.”

Coleman, also co-founder & education director at Praxis, is a prolific writer and speaker with a singular mission: to awaken people to their own creative power.

Today’s episode is an excerpt for Curt Mercadante’s full episode with Coleman, which will air in the very next episode.

In our previous episode, Curt Mercadante spoke with Dr. Jason Dean, who said we don’t have a healthcare system in the U.S. but rather a “commodity sick care” system which profits from medicating your symptoms, instead of taking a holistic approach to your overall health.

How can you apply this lesson to every facet of your life to grow your self-care, your relationships, and your career? 

That’s the topic of today’s episode.

The great majority of people who reportedly have died of COVID-19 have had underlying health conditions. While many Americans (nearly half according to one survey) resort to prescription drugs to mask these underlying health conditions, the body has an incredible ability to heal itself naturally, if we let it.

We'll discuss this and more with Dr. Jason Dean, doctor of natural health, doctor of chiropractic and Advanced Nutrition Response Testing Doctor with a mission to help people get well using food as lifestyle. Dr. Dean also is host of the Revolution Network podcast.

Rather than a healthcare system, America has a “commodity sick care” system, said Dr. Jason Dean, a doctor of natural health and doctor of chiropractic with a mission to help people get well using food as lifestyle. Dr. Dean also is host of the Revolution Network podcast.

In today’s episode, Dr. Dean discusses that “sick care” system with Curt Mercadante. 

“When I say that a lot of people go, ‘What do you mean by commodity?’” said Dean.  “Unfortunately, you're being used. Your body is being used in the pharma world of health as a commodity, meaning there are large price tags put on your body, your head every single day for exactly what you talked about, these comorbidities, whether it's diabetes, heart disease, cancer, cardiovascular disease, you name it.”

This episode is a preview of Dr. Dean’s full discussion with Mercadante, which you can hear in our very next episode.
