[edit] Economic Hitmen

This is interesting, when you bear in mind what was written by John Perkins in his book, Confessions of an economic hitman. This is just speculation, but could certain sty-behind Nazi networks have been used to murder him? There is no proof of the 3rd generation of the RAF. --Ibykus prometheus 19:25, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Factual error corrected...

The original article said that he was killed by a shaped charge (Munroe effect) when, in fact, he was killed by a Misznay-Schardin type charge.

The article did have the correct description of how the charge works, just not the name.

[edit] Source

Giving you the source is all I can do here. You have to read it for yourself. If you can't read German use a translator like Babelfish.--ChainSuck-Jimmy 07:50, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

I found what I consider a reliable English language source here and here. I'm sorry if my German isn't good enough to fully understand the other source, I couldn't find any actual reference to the part about the World Bank and his influence in particular. Due to WP:V we are quite strict about not drawing our own conclusions. EconomicsGuy 08:10, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
If the problem is only the sentence about his influence then I wouldnt mind to remove it, though I would regard it to be quite obvious that the chairman of the Deutsche Bank has indeed some influence. Another source I found is this. I also wouldnt mind to replace the German source with this one or the two you suggested.--ChainSuck-Jimmy 10:05, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
