So long as DeBeers sets the price of diamonds, it doesn't matter where you buy them. The concept of "conflict free" diamonds is a joke so long as
the the "conflict full" diamonds are indiscernible and artificially priced.
I would suggest watching this PBS Frontline Special
video.google.com...
It discusses meetings between president elect JFK and Harry Oppenheimer as well as diamond currency and industrial diamonds being supplied to
Hitler.
Remember not only is there the commercial side of diamonds but the industrial demand allows DeBeers to control all the industries that depend upon
them; i.e. the drilling industry (oil, water, gold, platinum, uranium) and the mass production of military machines and anything steel that requires
precision tooling.
I have a close Jewish South African friend who's uncle is the current executor of the estate of Charle Engelhard Jr. which puts him in control of
American based Engelhard Minerals & Chemicals Inc. who made their fortune from stealing the rich mineral resources of South Africa with the help of
DeBeers.
My friends story of exposing his family is being told in real time at just3ants.com
