| Vidkun Quisling and Heinrich Himmler, the leader of the SS in Nazi Germany |
Two decades from now, when historians review the effect of Citizenship by Investment (CBI/CIP) programs on the development of the five Eastern Caribbean states, how will they judge the actions of those countries' Prime Ministers, who have chosen to impede economic development in favor of the more convenient CBI revenue, and in the process subordinating their nations to the political will of companies controlled by the Peoples' Republic of China? Will the corrupt EC leadership be ultimately held to account for selling out to China, given that both the United States and the European Union are about to deal what must certainly be a fatal blow on CBI?
The question becomes one of strict accountability; whether their constituents will hold the leadership to account for their corruption, as well as their willingness to accept Chinese domination over internal policies, in exchange for fiscal solvency, as well as personal, albeit illegal, wealth. Allowing a foreign power to quietly dictate both domestic and foreign policy, in exchange for sufficient funding to bootstrap a moribund economy, may be a short-term solution, but it could make these countries vassals of China. All those CBN passports sold to Chinese nationals, who have voting rights, could result in the replacement of the local West Indian population with Chinese. Is that not Treason and Betrayal against the people?
If you remember the story of the Norwegian fascist, VIDKUN QUISLING, who threw in his lot with Hitler, to achieve political power, and given the end of Quisling's story, you wonder whether Eastern Caribbean leaders have considered what their post-CBI situation might be, as well as that of their respective Labour Parties, as Quisling's National Gathering party disappeared when he did.
When will the CBI merry-go-round end in the East Caribbean, and when it does, what will happen to the Prime Ministers, Deputy Prime Ministers and Ministers for Investment with CBI Portfolios, when the music stops?
