Video: Facts About Blood Diamonds

[UintatheriumParticipant 1861]

Hay y’all. Watch this!

TL;DR: Many of the diamonds that people buy every day could be conflict diamonds. There is no way of knowing.

Never Forget: Africa wasn’t always a filthy place. It was a place of masculine virtue in the pre-colonial era.

Donald Trump frequently flip-flops on his foreign policy. If he could stick with a non-interventionist, anti-globalization stance then that would be great.

Diamonds are for prostitutes.

Actually, Africa was a very savage place, where harsh forms of slavery existed, and in some places still do. The Europeans did not catch the people to be slaves. The locals enslaved their enemies and sold them to the Europeans.

You sound like you are trying falsely to tie this all to Trump. You are just p~~~ed that Trump is making overtures to the minorities, with his comments resonating with minorities.

Also, you willfully forget that the democrats have done nothing to minorities for the last fifty years but enslave the minorities and promote single-mother/warfare-whore/anti-father genocentrism that we MGTOW rail against.

Africa has and will always be a savage land. The populations were warring and using slavery for as long as there has been recorded history.
Diamonds for self-entitled t~~~s to show how much their blue pill loves them are just the most recent symptom of the endemic savagery.
If Trump gets our asses out of Africa and paying more attention to local problems than f~~~ing meddling with other governments and importing populations that are completely incompatible with United States laws, then that could be the best thing to ever happen to the USA.

It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion, it is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning; it is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.

Can’t say the Europeans didn’t try to help them better themselves. It just didn’t work very well, because the people weren’t interested in any of that. That’s why the place is still a jungle.

Diamonds are a scam in the first place. Their market price is artificially supported by an international cartel.

The fact that miners are brutally exploited by the cartel only makes things worse.

Sink your money in things of real value, like education. Let some other sucker pay the cartel its blood money.

Society asks MGTOWs: Why are you not making more tax-slaves?

Was Africa a ‘savage land’ when the Egyptians built the Great Pyramids 4,500 years ago? Slavery has gone on for most of human history; however, 99% of the discussion of it focuses on Black Slavery in the US South in a very narrow slice of history — why? Because liberalism.

Savagery or economics? If your choices were the diamond mine or starving, you’d likely choose the diamond mine. Does money from diamonds go to wars and evil dictators? Yes. The profits from many products we purchase go towards war (e.g. oil).

Just like a fraction of my tax dollars go towards wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and dictators under the Elected regime in the USA.

Is South Africa a ‘savage land’? It’s certainly developed. It does have a murder rate on the order of 10 times that of the US. But numerous African countries have murder rates lower than the US — e.g. Egypt, Libya, etc. So the picture is a bit more complicated than ‘savages’.

Trump does NOT believe in the Jeffersonian principal of avoiding entangling alliances; just look at his quotes, e.g. ‘don’t give Pakistan money unless they give up their nuclear program’. NOT ‘we’ll slowly end foreign aid to ALL countries over xx years’.

Faust: Trump’s outreach to Blacks has failed. Instead of the usual low 10% support for a Republican candidate, he’s at about 2%. The reason the outreach has failed? My opinion is that Blacks don’t seem to associate the social programs of the Great Society with the destruction of the family. Or they don’t care.

A bigger question is why men should purchase these diamonds. Educate them that DeBeers just came up with this as a scheme to make money. I met a black man a few days ago at a meeting in my profession. He was from Kenya. He said he couldn’t get engaged because a lack of dowry was a stumbling block. I indicated we too had to pay a ‘dowry’ of sorts — a sparkling diamond engagement ring costing months of a man’s salary, often mined by child slave-labor. I suggested our culture might change by a woman getting down on her knees and offering to buy the man a Motorcycle, due to, you know, Equality. He laughed his ass off. The black woman adjacent to him (not his fiancee), was NOT from Africa, and didn’t like it!

No. Those are lies by the media. Trump has not even begun.

Trump is polling around 15% with blacks. And these are rigged, or “tweaked” polls. Still, this is the media admitting that Trump has more support by minorities than any other Republic since President Ronald Reagan. And the numbers of supports are growing for Trump on all fronts.

Yesterday was a wonderful example of how Trump was reaching out to blacks in a church

It was a historic event and in response the media cut the video feed in an attempt to censor this historic even.

This is even caught on tape of those working for Reuters cutting the feed.

So, do not believe what the media, the 1%, or anyone else against this movement that Trump is leading. Because they are all in a club, and we are not in it. And it appears from actions by the media, surprisingly neither is Trump.

CNN’s online coverage of the Detroit visit, was slightly biased — it is subtle — e.g. not interviewing supporters, only opponents of Trump’s, and focusing on the protests outside. For instance, show me a CNN story about a Hillary appearance, where the story covers protestors outside it OTHER THAN ‘left’ protesters (e.g. Black Lives Matter or Bernie supporters). I’m hardly a CNN fan — I call it the Communist News Network.

Black support for GOP presidential candidates has been declining for decades: http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/trump-is-in-fourth-place-among-black-voters/

Even Fox News, the Donald Trump Network, polls him at 1% of black voters; the average of 5 top polls is 2% Blacks for Trump.

You have to keep in mind, Reuters wants to sell to BOTH left and right-wing publications and outlets. As a result of this, BOTH CNN and Fox SUBSCRIBE to Reuters. My opinion of the dropped news feed is that it was staged or because Trump’s campaign asked the pool reporters to leave. Latest I read was that the media pool was asked to leave. If there was a blackout, Fox would have covered it and Trump’s campaign would have tweeted about it by now, 2 days later to make the most political gain from it. They have not done so.

I would say there is a lot of bias when outlets purchasing content from newswires, choose WHICH AP or Reuters stories to carry, in, say, a local paper, and also, how they edit them down to make one candidate look good or bad — these are the subtle biases I refer to. The newswires are not the origin of the terrible and biased media we have; consumers prefer biased s~~~ media. That is why the Economist has few subscribers, but many people watch CNN and Fox News.

Blacks, overall, have become more Democratic after Barry Goldwater (who stated the Civil Rights Act was un-constitutional), and for other reasons. The reason that Trump polls even lower than Romney among blacks, also has to do with his association with the ‘Birther’ movement claiming Obama isn’t a US citizen. And simple identity politics; blacks who voted for Obama due to his skin color, just like women who will vote for Hillary because she is a woman.

In contrast, I would happily vote for a black, Asian or other minority candidate who would shrink government. I don’t care what they look like.
