Hollywood, greed, money and sex continued.

Remember Maurice Templeton, the New York diamond dealer who based on Edward Jay Epstein’s book, THE DIAMOND INVENTION, "arranged the meeting for Harry Oppenheimer with John Kennedy when Kennedy was President-elect ... at the Carlyle Hotel", was also responsible for “advising” First Lady tramp Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, following the deaths of both her husbands who combined left her a pitiful estate, how to take the $25 odd million and “turn it” in to a whopping $500 million without the DeBeers Anglo American Cartel [DAAC] insisting that she continue to spread the Kennedy Clap.

Without me informing you who exactly told me that the “New York diamond dealer” was in fact Templeton let me have you focus on the very precise wording used by high profile investigative journalist and Hollywood blockbuster author increasingly edgy EJE.

The idea is to get the reader to focus on thinking more about WHO the New York Diamond dealer is then WHO really “arranged the meeting for Harry Oppenheimer with John Kennedy when Kennedy was President-elect ... at the Carlyle Hotel.”

Can you imagine in a million, trillion years President elect John F. Kennedy now fully guarded by the Secret Service, moments away from being sworn in as President and Commander In Chief of all United States Armed Forces, with the eyes of the world including all the world’s intelligence services watching him like a hawk, going along with a New York Diamond dealer “arranging the meeting” with the head of the Mafia of Mafia?

Do you know what day it is today?

I am thinking of spending my birthday tomorrow all day in the surf when not in bed all day with Marie Dion Gevisser not giving a single thought to what you or anyone else in this world thinks apart from my two dogs, MDG and God.

Why not email EJE or for that matter everyone you know and ask them whether they think it is funny, sad or neither or both that there is no mention of Charles Engelhard having “arranged” on United States soil such an EXTRAORDINARY meeting bearing in mind that in the entire book there is no mention of when CE, a central figure in this conspiracy of conspiracies, died.

Moreover, the reader is left with the impression when getting to this section of Chapter 18, THE AMERICAN CONSPIRACY that Charles Engelhard might have already been dead when his mafia crime partner Harry Oppenheimer delivered the very clear message to the next President of the United States as well as the remaining two branches of the United States Government that the DAAC buttered all their bread.

Now ask yourself what it must feel like to be on my FOOLS NAMES, FOOLS FACES IN PUBLIC PLACES list as all members of today’s United States Secret Service who know WHY their other job is to protect the currency of the United States of America are now, THIS INSTANT, all brought “fully up to speed”.

The 3 Branches of the United States Government, the United States Congress, the Judiciary and the Executive Branch all know that the job of the President of the United States of America is to print money and protect the currency and declare war on any country who refuses to accept our worthless-fictitious and totally nonsense DeBeers-Dollars.

The DAAC are the money launderers of money launderers, counterfeiters of counterfeiters whose clout OBVIOUSLY continues to this very hour.

leased new figures showing that officials had dramatically underestimated Silicon Valley's job losses since 2000. "The pain people were feeling was based on reality, as opposed to the junk the state was feeding us," said Richard Carlson, chairman of Mountain View forecasting firm Spectrum Economics Inc.

The low-ball statistics, based on sampling, had gauged Santa Clara County's losses at about 115,000 jobs. The more accurate figures peg the damage at 175,000, or about 16% of all jobs in the county outside farming. For San Francisco and Silicon Valley as a whole, the losses added up to 275,400, or 13% of the nonfarm total.

That means the Valley's comedown is worse than Los Angeles' after the aerospace industry decline that began in 1990. In L.A.'s two most desperate years, 400,000 jobs disappeared, but they amounted to only 10% of the nonfarm whole.

In fact, Silicon Valley's fall is unmatched in state history since the Great Depression, when some regions lost 25% of their jobs, according to Stephen Levy, director of the Palo Alto-based Center for the Continuing Study of the California Economy. What's more, the new statistics show that the number of people working in Silicon Valley has fallen back to the level in 1996, when the dot-com boom was barely underway.

The scale of the disaster foretells a longer road to recovery. "We thought we had 100,000 jobs to make up," Carlson said. "In an expansion, you can do that naturally in four or five years. Now you're talking about 10. It takes your breath away."

More than ever, the area between San Jose and San Francisco needs affordable housing and better schools, said Carl Guardino, head of the Silicon Valley Manufacturing Group. Because the cost of living is still so high, those out of work can't keep looking here for months on end.

"There is only so long that whatever you have saved can last in such a high-cost region," Guardino said. "People leave to find greener pastures elsewhere, and if they find them they may stay there."

If they do, bringing the Valley's economy back could be that much harder. "Losing skilled people is never a plus," Levy said. "That is the threat here, the dissipation of talent that could be a long-term blow to the region."

Of the talent staying, a growing number is reexamining the career plans drawn during the boom.

"People are doing assessments as to what's important to them," said Mike Curran, director of the North Valley Job Training Consortium in Sunnyvale. "As people get older, there's a tendency to say: 'This is probably the last part of my career. I'm going to do something I value.' "

Some are trying to switch careers for more practical reasons, with mixed success.

David Tichane, an unemployed technology patent lawyer formerly with big server maker Tandem Computers Inc., considered getting retrained to work as a project manager. But in his networking groups, "I found all these project managers who were out of work," Tichane said. "Some other fields are worse."

Tichane, 49, is in what is probably still the largest group of Valley unemployed -- those still grimly hunting away. He has been on the prowl for six months. Where he used to find two or three job postings a week for patent attorneys, he said he now turns up only one or two a month.

"Boy, does it get depressing," he said. "The hardest thing is just to keep on going."

But sometimes, the search for work can itself be rewarding.

David Jebens, a telecommunications engineer from Campbell, said his greatest emotional and practical support comes from a small group that meets in restaurants. The members set goals for themselves, such as making a set number of job calls in the following week, and then hold each other accountable.

"It's a close-knit group," said Jebens, 44. "I suspect we'll be lifelong friends."
