Weapons Of True Destruction-Children

Preface

Before we begin I would like to talk to you about blood diamonds. Blood diamonds or conflict diamonds are named so because of the amount of blood spilled over them. UN and diamond companies want to hide this but two out of three diamonds is a conflict diamond(2008 U.S Government Accountability Office/gao.gov0 . On average each conflict diamond has ten lives behind it. You may be thinking it's a good thing I don't buy these diamonds. Wrong, most diamonds you can buy are conflict diamonds. How this happens is first the diamonds are moved out of the mine to a big city. Next the diamonds are sold to a legitimate mines. The conflict diamonds are mixed in with legitimate diamonds and are from that point forward indistinguishable from legal diamonds. The diamond load is sold to a jewelry maker. They are cut. After that they are put in rings, earrings , necklaces and everything else. Later after being put to market, people buy them.

The money from the diamonds go to drugs, music, weapons and vehicles. The miners are paid in their lives, shelter and unclean food and water. This is why diamonds cost so much. Most are never sold, they are being hidden. Diamonds are not rare, they are very common. Large companies move them to bunkers and banks after they are shipped to them. Therefore forcing the price of the "limited quantity" diamonds to move up. How this happens is that there are so little diamonds on market making you pay for more mining,cutting,transporting,shopkeeping,executive and every else labour and ultimately war. All from such a common little stone.
