  • Llchaprer Four the U.S
    llcHAPrER FouR THE U.S. COMES TO AFRICA term presidency is ticking away. Americans are unaware that another such presidency will not soon follow. They don't know that in Vietnam they are already entering their first losing war. They believe that the people of most countries would welcome the arrival of American troops just about the same way the French did in t944. After eight years in office, Eisenhower, the general who commanded those troops in t944, surprises many supporters by worrying publicly about the growing uncontrollability of what he calls a "military-industrial complex" in the United States. John F. Kennedy, the opposition candidate to succeed Eisenhower, com- plains instead of a "missile gap." (It later proves nonexistent.) He pledges to repair "our lost prestige, our shaky defenses, our lack of leadership." Over and over he charges that turmoil in Cuba and the Congo is proof of U.S. weakness. He campaigns to beef up the U.S. military to meet "the communist ghallenge" in such places. He declares the world "half slave and half free," and says it can't continue that way. He doesn't say which half he considers the Congo to be in-or to which half Fulgencio Batista, the deposed anti- communist Cuban dictator, belonged. 196o sees new fleets ofjet-powered Boeing 7o7's and Convair 88o's begin to shrink the country and wodd. Runways are extended, propeller craft replaced, ocean liners mothballed. Europe, Asia, South America, and Africa swell up offshore, only hours away. These new planes, incidentally, create a need for a previously little-known metal that is vital to jet aviation: cobalt.

They’ve made their fortune by manipulating markets and fixing prices. Their money has come from ordinary people all over the world who imagine they’re investing in something rare and valuable. But this is a family which deals in illusion. It presides over one of the last great cartels, an extraordinarily successful business empire worth $60 billion. This is the Oppenheimer family and their trade is diamonds. NARRATOR: The richest diamond jewelry market in the world is in New York. It’s a $10.8 billion business. Around 47th Street, there are twenty-five thousand people who buy, cut, polish and sell diamonds, from the most glamorous jewelry to the cheapest mail-order. It’s a highly secretive and risky business. The Oppenheimers themselves declined to help in any way in the making of this film. Bill Goldberg is one of the few top dealers who will talk openly about what he does. BILL GOLDBERG: It’s fascinating, it’s amazing that a lot of men that are ten years younger than I am can’t wait to retire and I can’t wait to get here in the morning at eight o’clock, to produce these beautiful works, these beautiful pieces of art from what looks like a pebble on the beach.

    Blood Diamonds Hines & Snow BLOOD DIAMOND DOUBLETHINK & DECEPTION OVER THOSE WORTHLESS LITTLE ROCKS OF DESIRE Rick Hines & keith harmon snow Part One Appeared June 1, 2007 Z Magazine (abridged and edited) http://zmagsite.zmag.org/June2007/snow0607.html Minor corrections and adjustments July 20, 2007. “All that was needed was an unending series of victories over your own memory. ‘Reality control,’ they called it; in Newspeak, ‘doublethink.’” George Orwell, 1984. Blood Diamond is a Hollywood film depicting horrific bloodshed in West Africa, in 1999, spawned by the lust for diamonds. The film opens with the understatement that “thousands have died and millions have become refugees.” But more than 70,000 people died in Sierra Leone’s war. The film immediately segues to a palatial boardroom in Antwerp, Belgium, to the G-8 Conference on diamonds. The all-white executives are ostensibly concerned, holding worried discussions about…the fate of people? Page 1 of 24 Blood Diamonds Hines & Snow Africa’s people? “According to a devastating report by Global Witness,” says one of the G-8 execs, “these [conflict] stones are being used to purchase arms and finance civil war.” The inference is that world leaders were surprised by the revelations of Global Witness—a London-based watchdog organization that the film clearly advertised for exposing corporate malfeasance. “We must remember that these stones comprise only a small percentage of the legitimate diamond industry,” says another G-8 exec, “whose trade is critical to the economies of many emerging nations.” Excuse me? Legitimate diamond industry? Emerging nations…? The Africans in the film are remarkably well dressed and salubrious, and the African scenes are remarkably sunny, clean, or, well, sanitized: the effects of poverty and hunger are made invisible.
