re: No,
While I saw e's post as polemic, certainly, I didn't see it as particularly intimidating. And it doesn't change that he was basically right.
What he said was basically true--the U.N. originally attempted to create a system where the wealth from international waters, taken by the effort of those willing to invest the huge amount of capital required, would be delivered to an international agency for "distribution" among the nations of the world. I don't know how much the original producers would have been "allowed" to keep.
Something like this has been a wet dream of the U.N. (and some other agencies) for as long as I can remember. The current stalking horse for widespread wealth redistribution is climate change.
