In practice, Economic Development is bait to lure the gullible into the bloody maw of global capitalism. Look at what “foreign aid” and other such euphemisms have wrought around the world! Death, destruction, unpayable debt, and societal upheaval while the banksters steal it all via contract fraud and malfeasance.

The New York-London spider makes life in the Economic Development web so comfortable and it fattens you up nicely… in the beginning. That’s right, let me spin a little bit of web to keep you from slipping off and hurting yourself. You’ve been invited to dinner, don’t you know? Have another helping of Goldman Sachs or IMF credit, secretly seasoned with Agenda-21. Let me help you out of those old self-sufficient Danish and Inuit clothes. Only those old-fashioned fools still believe in living the old ways. Let me hold your land rights while you dig in for more credit pudding. My friends will come over from their webs and help you run your government. It’s only fair that we mine on your land, now. You’ve run up quite a bar tab at the Wall Street Casino! We’ll just forget all about it if you sign away all that Arctic wasteland. Don’t worry about the fine print because dinner will be served and YOU ARE DINNER!
