Demetrius,

 

I just got back to the Cliff House after a ride on my Ducati ST4s to find what appears to be a U.S. Navy communications ship traveling rather slowly heading north, not to suggest that President Bush or someone with a lower military rank would usurp their limited authority just so that Eliot Spitzer, Attorney General of New York State might get some temporary relief?

 

I think it is fair to say I sold at least one more copy of my forthcoming book Manager Minute One to a young secretary in a law office after I dropped off “sum” [sic] material, this rather attractive lady of Asian decent quite surprised to hear that Pythagoras, a Greek, would have women within his “inner circle” given her understanding that Greek men are “chauvinistic” much like we assume the vast majority of Jewish men were placed on this earth for no other reason than to convert Roman Catholics over to Judaism given how well endowed we are at birth, G-D possibly wanting to open up a debate on whether prior to mass equaling energy He-She felt it necessary to chip a bit here and there off the old block given how obviously being able to compute stuff like Internal Rates of Return at Light-G-D-Speed give us added advantages in being so incredibly great lovers despite most if not all Jewish men I know getting much practice with their wives who can’t wait to send them out to play golf as they slave away making the fattest of foods hoping their husbands die both quick and rich allowing them to make up for lost time?

 

Life becomes rather confusing the instant we stop searching for the truth.

 

The truth about one organization’s “exclusive right” to produce its own currency and how it then went about in the most insidious way fermenting unrest beginning first with the poor and downtrodden, ending up backing a failed artist painter such as Hitler who pulled off one of the greatest scams in the history of our universe not going back to the time of Pythagoras or Jesus Christ but hell, less than a century ago, is almost too much to believe were it not in fact 100% the truth.

 

Before taking off my wife dropped by our Cliff House with her almost 13 year old to pick up my dog, Pypeetoe who at age 4 is still suffering from separation anxiety when I leave him alone, Marie and JoNathan talking last evening about his party next month as I dozed off to sleep on her one of a kind slay bed in our second residence here in Del Mar.

 

So important each of us right this minute keep track of everything we are doing given how time is slowing down at a rather accelerating rate as the past and the future all come “to-get-her” [sic] in the present.

 

Just a question of time before Alan Greenspan “falls on the sword”, the same with all our Congress people, the same with each and every member of the so-called media waking up to how the “real world” has been working for just a century, not 2 centuries or 1,000 years or 8,000 or so years going back to the beginning of the Chinese culture.

 

In 1902 Earnest Oppenheimer at age 22, just 5 years in the diamond business, stepped foot on to the continent of Africa at its southern tip, to run a small diamond buying office in Kimberley, his salary 500 pounds a year, again a man of rather modest means.

 

Let me now just take you to Chapter 8 of The Diamond Invention, The Jewish Connection and read at a leisurely pace the following:

 

He was in many ways the prototype of the multinational businessman: German by birth, British by naturalization, Jewish by religion, and South African by residence.

He usually wore a white starched collar, a dark tie and a long frock coat. He rarely spoke to his fellow workers and he always kept his notebook at his side. Although some of the other sorters in the office simply assumed that he was a compulsive scribbler, Oppenheimer was in fact preparing a detailed analysis of the diamond-mining business. He had an excellent vantage point. Diamonds poured into the office from all the mines in Africa and were graded according to weight, size, shape, color and quality. By studying the records in the office, he was able to determine both the special characteristics and profitability of the production of each mine.

He also traveled around to the independent diggings around Orange River to buy diamonds and evaluate claims for Dunkelsbuhler. It was all part of his education in the diamond business.

In 1908, his cousin Frederick Hirschhorn became the syndicate's chief representative in Kimberley. Oppenheimer, who was close to his cousin, spent considerable time at the syndicate's sorting room. Here he became familiar with the way in which the diamonds were divided among the members of the syndicate and the particular categories of diamonds that the various syndicate members preferred.

Oppenheimer's initial success in acquiring capital came, however, from gold rather than diamond mines. A group of German investors, who were clients of Dunkelsbuhler, wanted to invest in gold properties in the Transvaal, and Oppenheimer arranged for them to buy an interest in operating gold mines. In making these deals, he took for himself a small percentage of the venture, as well as an option to increase his participation at a future date.

By 1914, the Germans had sunk an enormous amount of capital into expanding these gold mines. The outbreak of the First World War made their investment increasingly precarious: Germany was, after all, now an enemy of the British Commonwealth. Moreover, there were constant demands in the press for the expropriation of enemy assets in South Africa. As the pressure mounted on the South African government, Oppenheimer found a solution for the German investors. He personally created an international corporation in which the German interest could be subtly diffused with those of investors of other nationalities. He blended into this new corporation the percentages and options that he had obtained as a deal maker and also a number of interests that had been acquired by his cousins and other relatives in South Africa.

To avoid drawing any unnecessary attention to the German investments, he proposed giving the corporation a name that would strongly suggest an "American connection," as Oppenheimer put it. In a letter to his associates, he wrote, "Our aim should be for our company to make its debut as a new factor in South African finance." After considering the name United South Africa Company, which would be abbreviated USA Company, and then the Afro-American Company, they finally decided on the Anglo-American Corporation, which sounded very much like the Anglo-American alliance that was then winning the war. The mask seemed to work at least with the South African press: when the new corporation was announced in September 1917, the Rand Daily Mail proclaimed in a headline, "American Millions for the Rand."

After establishing his corporation, Oppenheimer quickly shifted his attention from gold back to diamonds. As early as 1910, he had concluded in a memorandum that "the only way to increase the value of diamonds is to make them scarce, that is, to reduce production." He believed that De Beers could bring about such scarcity but only if it expanded its reach beyond the borders of South Africa. He viewed control of the South African mines as a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for an effective diamond monopoly.

Not really all that amazing as you go “back and forth” again at a leisurely pace to see how everything fits “to-get-her” [sic]?

 

Just some 58 years later when my grandfather Israel Issy Gevisser was being handed the gold goblet you see in the 1910 hyperlink commemorating his 50 years of loyal and devoted service to the Moshal Gevisser Group of Companies, Earnest Oppenheimer’s son, Harry, not exactly the best looking man about town, or for that matter the greatest athlete, and highly doubtful he was all that great a student when “reading” at Oxford where he picked up his pucker English accent, would have the next President of the United States kowtowing to him in a very public setting, President elect John F. Kennedy understanding perfectly well what Charles Engelhard, JFK’s “close friend” had orchestrated in full view of United States Justice Department officials tasked with executing our sacrosanct Anti-Trust laws designed to wipe out monopolies that are at the root of all the evilness in this world.

 

The problems of the world have never, not once, in the history of mankind, so unkind to G-D-NAture, had anything to do with race, color, sex or religion simply poor parental religious teaching and greed by predominantly financial engineers, just one step up from paper pushers, the “smart money  counting on people like Ron Bellows Senior, a senior risk management specialist at the “fony crap megalopoly” of AIG-Marsh and McLennan-ACE Ltd, way down the pyramid from my DAAC family to put on a “good show” that includes voicing, the louder the better, all sorts of bs conspiracy theories that keep the masses distracted from searching for the truth.

 

I am now calling it quits for the day, possibly taking a leisurely jog first up to Dog Beach, see how my pal Ed is doing before heading back south towards La Jolla stopping by this one neat rock before heading back to Del Mar for another terrific dinner with my wife and her kids as well as Dr. John K. Pollard.
