    "Eco nomic hit men (EHMs) a re highly paid professionals who cheat countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars. They funnel money from the World Bank, the U.S. Agency for International Development ( U SAID), and other foreign “aid” organisations into the coffers of huge corporations and the pockets of a few wealthy fami- lies who control the planet’s natural resources. Their tools inctttde fraudulent financial reports, rigged elections, payoffs, extortion, sex, and murder. They play a game as old as empire, but one that has taken on new and terrify- ing dimensions during this time of globalization. I should know; I was an EHM. "
