Mr. Soros,

 

Notice how many people around you are getting less busy, less distracted, the total opposite to what is happening to you?

 

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction nothing is gained nor is it lost.

 

I am trying to locate your masseur, my brother Neil Gevisser to pass this email below on to our mother, the very “good friend” of my uncle David Gevisser, the “male heir” of the richest person in the world, American Charles Engelhard who along with Harry Oppenheimer were the co-conspirators-inventors of the Diamond Invention, my DAAC [DeBeers-Anglo American Cartel] family making a big time crook like you look like a saint

 

Not so astonishingly HO, the South African head of the DAAC was the one designated to meet with President-elect John F. Kennedy at the Carlyle Hotel on the upper east end of Manhattan observed by enough people to have made it into the logs of the United States Justice Department tasked with going after the biggest crooks, financiers par-excellence of anyone and everyone who can be counted on to ferment social unrest when the masses pick up on their fictitious currency exponentially worthless, inflation a rather poor choice of words when considering it is not about too much money chasing too few goods but too many of us wanting to live the good life increasingly expert as time goes on, each of us willing to mortgage the future of the next generation through real estate inflationary bidding wars, eventually becoming impossible to change the laws to allow the fictitious currency to get into the hands of the poor instead leaving war the only option that not only culls the population but everyone agreeing that war is “good business” since in war “money is no object”, another subject matter not taught at any Business School I know.

 

What do you think of CE dying at a rather young age of 54, within a couple of weeks of this What’s Next cartoon depicting my Royal Mater’s half-brother appearing in the February 10th 1971 edition of our local Daily News publication?

 

I didn’t think you or Mr. Mark Ameres who I understand works for and once responded to a communiqué of mine would object to me “cutting and pasting” a section out of Chapter 18, THE AMERICAN CONSPIRACY, of the Diamond Invention:

 

In late 1970, there was a new development in the case. An anonymous caller, speaking from a pay phone in a muffled voice, began providing the lawyers in the antitrust division with evidence that suggested that De Beers was attempting a secret takeover of the industrial diamond business in the United States. The mysterious caller rattled off a list of names, places, transactions, bank accounts and subterranean corporate connections in the diamond trade. He also gave detailed accounts of secret meetings between American dealers and agents of the cartel, and the names of witnesses who could confirm these charges.

 

The conspiracy he outlined went as follows: Before General Electric began mass-producing synthetic industrial diamonds, De Beers had been able to manipulate diamond prices from its offshore bases in London and Johannesburg. Now, however, with General Electric pouring out a virtually unlimited supply of industrial diamond abrasives, major users of industrial diamonds were no longer dependent on De Beers. The De Beers cartel then decided to intervene directly in the United States by covertly buying control of companies that distributed diamond grit and diamond drill stones. Through these companies, it guaranteed itself a share of the American market.

Although Justice Department lawyers were initially skeptical of this furtive source, they found that many of his leads checked out. Moreover, the specific details he provided could only have come from someone who had access to the inner workings of the international diamond cartel. Gradually, other witnesses began to confirm the story. Nevertheless, the informant adamantly refused to meet with the lawyers of federal investigators or to disclose his identity.

 

Even with the help of other informants, the task of tracing a conspiracy between De Beers and its putative American co-conspirators was extraordinarily difficult. To even approach the problem of establishing jurisdiction, the Justice Department lawyers had to weave their way through a bewildering maze of some 300 interlocking corporations, registered in Luxembourg and other convenient nations, which were either partly or fully controlled by the Oppenheimer interests. The lawyers also found that industrial diamond users, who were heavily dependent on De Beers and its subsidiaries for their supply of diamonds, were extremely reluctant to discuss openly their relations with De Beers.

 

Wouldn’t it be interesting to exhume CE’s body out of St. Mary Church in Morris Town New Jersey and see whether in fact my RM was correct that he died of “an addiction to Coca Cola” not that we should seriously consider a class action lawsuit against Coca Cola during which we would introduce into evidence how it came about that law enforcement officials in places like the village of Machu Picchu wear Coca Cola embroidered emblems over their breast pockets but rather to get to the bottom of WHO including those like Senator Ted Kennedy who attended Engelhard’s funeral along with former President Lyndon Johnson and Vice President Humphrey weren’t just out for free booze, KNEW WHAT AND WHEN DID THEY KNOW that CE’s business of controlling the world’s mineral resources including the world’s supply of platinum was about to go through “boom times”, the decision by the United States Government in the early 1970s to make catalytic converters whose most important component was and remains platinum not exactly you would think falling on the deaf ears of freeloading politicians or for that matter my uncle DG or HO whose heirs failed horribly to include a tribute in HO’s memorial website to either CE, my uncle DG nor his or Englehard’s lawyer-liars located on Bush Street in San Francisco insisting on such a “courtesy” to mention little of 2 things:

 

First, upon reading the letter of introduction that was given to me by my RM courtesy of DG for having sold my amazing father, his first cousin “down the tubes”, back at the time I emigrated to the United States in March 1978, these very private banking lawyer-liars seemed much more impressed with the fact that I was the son of Zena Gevisser than her charm school student-pupil DG who was in fact the first Gevisser boy to get down pat, THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING A WOMAN?

 

Second, you are not new to the game of market manipulation having let it be known that in one day you made a billion English pounds sterling playing the currency market which first alerted me to the fact that you were not directly under the “command and control” of my DAAC family since they would not have tolerated such an ego out of control much like they felt about CE who couldn’t contain himself letting writer Ian Fleming and others know how he had illegally smuggled gold out of South Africa in the form of statutes to be later melted down into gold bullion and sold on the open market although no doubt a bunch remained stashed away but nothing for any of us to be in the least bit concerned with given how there is enough gold in the hands of private citizens today who wouldn’t take kindly for anyone trying to manipulate this one commodity most of which still remains underground,  the DAAC are deathly afraid of grass roots organizations being able to say without any fear given the Digital Age, a G-D-Send, “enough is enough”.]

 

And of course you are a brilliant example of why it is that that the more material wealth you have the more vulnerable you feel to the point that you would act so desperately in stealing just a couple of million dollars, having been found guilty by of all people a French court for insider trading.

 

Please review this ongoing dialogue between myself and a very “skilled and experienced” multi-lingual Greek American editor living in Spain and feel free to join in at any time sharing your thoughts however mindless even on the subject of Braille being applied to my new business cards.

 

Not only are the rapacious rich getting increasingly desperate with each tick of the almighty clock but increasingly quaking in their boots given how they have been forced to “take care” of so many in insulating themselves from the “war cries” of the masses getting exponentially up to speed in shorter and shorter timeframes about the “workings” of the “real world” thanks to people like me whose only ax that I have to grind is that you would help make my ax a whole lot sharper if you decided to engage me in “open debate” so that I would beat you to a pulp leaving it to the masses including your aids to deliver the “coup de grosse[sic].

 

Furthermore let me draw your attention to more material from Chapter 18 of The Diamond Invention:

 

Finally, in December of 1971, the lawyers requested that a grand jury be convened so that potential witnesses could be compelled to testify and, if necessary, granted immunity in return for their testimony. To break through the walls of the corporate labyrinth, they decided to focus their investigation on the activities of two American firms closely allied to the Oppenheimer interests. The first was Engelhard Minerals and Chemicals, Inc., a diversified company incorporated in Delaware and based in New York City; the second was Christensen Diamond Products, a manufacturer of diamond drills serving mainly the oil industry, based in Salt Lake City.

The founder of Engelhard Minerals and Chemicals, Charles Engelhard, was a well-connected American entrepreneur who had inherited a small metal fabricating company from his father. In the late 1940s, he had journeyed to South Africa to make his fortune. South African mines had a surplus of gold, but government regulations prohibited the exporting of gold bullion from South Africa without permits from the central bank, which were very difficult to obtain. Great Britain, which still controlled the financial affairs of South Africa, wanted to retain as much gold as possible within the sterling bloc. Engelhard found a loophole through that regulation: while it was illegal to export gold bars, it was legal to export objets d'art made of gold. Engelhard formed a company called Precious Metals Development that bought gold from the mines and cast it in the form of statues and other religious items. Engelhard exported these religious objets d'art to Hong Kong, where they were melted down and turned back into gold bullion, which could then be sold on the free market. (This ploy was later used by Ian Fleming, who was a business partner of Engelhard, in his novel Goldfinger)

While living in Johannesburg, Engelhard became a close friend of Harry Oppenheimer. Both men were approximately the same age and came from the same German-Jewish background. Both men were born millionaires, who later owned and controlled their own family businesses. And both men also shared a passion for racehorses (at one point, Engelhard owned 250 thoroughbred horses). Oppenheimer invited Engelhard to join the board of Anglo-American Corporation, and for his part, Engelhard invited Oppenheimer to participate in a number of mutually profitable joint ventures.

The Justice Department investigators were especially interested in the relationship between Harry Oppenheimer and Charlie Engelhard. They theorized that Oppenheimer relied on Engelhard Minerals and Chemicals to provide the services, credit terms, and contacts necessary to keep its American clients from buying their synthetic diamond grit from General Electric. They concluded in a memo that "Oppenheimer turned to Engelhard to take up the GE challenge." Specifically, Oppenheimer had arranged for Engelhard's holding company, called Engelhard Hanovia, to become the American distributor for De Beers abrasive grits. "The idea was that grit sales needed a new 'American look,' with the old De Beers monopoly image less exposed," the lawyers noted. They concluded that the entire scheme was intended by De Beers to avoid "exposing gem monopoly to antitrust sanctions."

In reconstructing this complicated arrangement, the investigators found that it was based on a quid pro quo. In return for acting as an intermediary for De Beers, Engelhard received all the costs for setting up a Swiss company called Prometco, plus a guaranteed profit of 100,000 English pounds a year. It was a fairly lucrative deal for Engclhard, and it also accommodated his friend Oppenheimer.

The deal provided far-reaching benefits. In the mid- 1960s, Engelhard intervened on behalf of Oppenheimer to prevent the United States government from dumping its vast stockpile of industrial diamonds on the world market. Engelhard, who was one of President Lyndon Johnson's chief fund-raises, offered to buy up one and one-half million carats of diamonds from the stockpile on condition that the Government promise not to sell any more diamonds for five years. He then planned to resell the American diamonds to De Beers. Not only would Engelhard personally make a tidy profit from the exchange but as a Justice Department review notes, "The commitment by the United States not to sell any more of the stockpile would be for the very purpose of protecting the monopoly of the diamond syndicate." If the government entered into such an agreement, it would become increasingly difficult to bring an antitrust action against the monopoly at a later date. For this reason, the Justice Department vehemently protested the deal, and despite Engelhard's personal influence with President Johnson, its protest prevailed.

Engelhard had also begun to buy control of some important users of industrial diamond abrasives, including Supercut, Inc., then the third largest consumer of diamond grit in the United States, and Concut, Inc., a Midwest manufacturer of diamond tools and abrasive grinding wheels. These acquisitions provided Oppenheimer with leverage in the competitive battle, shaping up between General Electric and De Beers, for control of the synthetic market in America.

Just as the Justice Department was about to file antitrust actions, Engelhard relinquished its right to be exclusive distributor of De Beers' abrasive diamonds in the United States and devolved the distributorship to three industrial diamond dealers in New York, all of whom had close ties to De Beers. Engelhard arranged for Oppenheimer to buy a controlling interest in his far-flung empire, since he had no male heirs to take over. To do this, Oppenheimer set up HD Development Corporation, which was owned by Oppenheimer and Anglo-American.

Behind this whirl of corporate maneuvers, Justice Department lawyers suspected an attempt by De Beers to carve up the American market for both synthetic and natural diamond abrasives. According to their theory, Oppenheimer used Engelhard's companies in America as a cover under which De Beers could organize distributorships for its products, staff them with selected executives, and nominally give them to supposedly independent dealers. Proving the case in court, however, was a far more difficult matter, since when Engelhard was involved in the diamond business, Oppenheimer owned no part of it; when Oppenheimer bought control of Engelhard, it was no longer directly in the diamond business.

Moreover, as the grand 'Jury investigation gathered momentum, Engelhard Minerals and Chemicals severed all its visible connections with the diamond business. It not only disposed of the abrasive manufacturers it had bought, but locked away in its vaults all the records of its previous dealings with De Beers, its subsidiaries and its agents. Harry Oppenheimer and other South African directors of Engelhard, who were also directors of De Beers and Anglo-American Corporation, stopped attending the board of director meetings of Engelhard in the United States. The concern was that they would be subpoenaed to appear before the grand jury. The Justice Department heard from one of its sources that "the General Counsel for Engelhard ... had a fit" when this possibility was divulged to the American members of the board. Justice Department lawyers also received reports that the " [Baron] Rothschild on the De Beers' board, upset at being told that he could not come to the U.S. because of the diamond investigation, has now resigned from the De Beers board"; and that "Harry Oppenheimer is extremely upset at not being able to come to the U.S."

In order to accommodate Oppenheimer and the other South African directors, Engelhard Minerals and Chemicals agreed to hold board meetings in London and elsewhere outside the United States. In September of 1974, Engelhard directors flew to London and met with Oppenheimer and a number of De Beers executives. According to a secret justice Department source, who had access to that meeting, there was an intriguing discussion between Oppenheimer and a top executive of Engelhard, of the implications of the investigation. According to the September 27, 1974, justice Department report, the executive guaranteed Oppenheimer that there would be no criminal indictments of De Beers' personnel resulting from the diamond grand jury investigation. Moreover, "the executive demanded a substantial increase in his salary [because] ... he would be required to have closer dealings with De Beers."

This raised the possibility that the diamond cartel and its allies might have found some way of intervening in the antitrust division. In a previous antitrust case involving the ITT corporation, President Nixon had blatantly attempted to prevent the antitrust division from pressing its suit. On August 4, 1974, the Justice Department received information that the "De Beers organization is a large contributor to both political parties and should this investigation get to a stage where cases were actually filed [the antitrust division] would probably receive much political pressure." The informant also disclosed that one major diamond dealer in New York was in "constant contact" with Harry Oppenheimer and was somehow relaying to him "information on the progress of this antitrust investigation." The diamond dealer in question was further alleged by this source to have "arranged the meeting for Harry Oppenheimer with John Kennedy when Kennedy was President-elect ... at the Carlyle Hotel," and to have served as an intermediary between Oppenheimer and American concerns in a number of deals.

While this group of antitrust lawyers was at work trying to elaborate the criss-crossing web of corporate ownership among firms that dominated the distribution and sales of diamond grit, a second team of lawyers was actively investigating an alleged conspiracy by De Beers to control the market for drilling stones…

 

Again, the primary purpose of this communiqué is to have my eldest brother get my RM to do the right thing and the smart thing which is first of all to inform the next generation about everything she knows about her very “good friend” David Gevisser and his major benefactor Charles Engelhard more responsible than all of you small time thugs for undermining our sacrosanct Anti-Trust laws that if implanted religiously would never allow the likes of you a pot to pee in let alone afford being massaged by at one time possibly the best masseur on the planet, Neil Gevisser for all I know could be massaging you as you wonder if there are others in your entourage smart enough to wear a bug in your presence.

 

Again, please be so gracious in assisting in whatever way you can still think?

 

Gary S. Gevisser

 

Ps – I am scheduling a trip to New York within the next month. Let me know if you would like to continue behaving like an ostrich

 

Or

 

Participating in a debate I plan to initiate on 47th Street, the heart of the world’s wholesale diamond trade, just a brisk walk from where President-elect JFK got his “marching orders” from HO.

 

Bear in mind not only did this Lilly White Wheaty Eating South African head of the DAAC, the mafia of mafia, in total control of far more than just the governments of South Africa prior to the outbreak of WWII not wear any disguises when he met with his so bought and paid for future President of the United States, Commander in Chief of all the United States Armed Forces who would be required to exacerbate the civil-drug war in Vietnam started by the French arm of the DAAC, not to forget JFK’s brother, Attorney of United States, RFK providing the increasing hooked-on-government program masses throughout the world nothing but a false sense of security BUT HO let JFK know in very simple English that the New York based diamond merchant who actually arranged the meeting between JRK who had yet to enter the Oval Office, such a meeting orchestrated by both HO and CE, would then make certain United States Department of Justices officials on the payroll of the DAAC informed other possibly less co-opted members of the Justice Department tasked with executing our sacrosanct Anti-Trust laws to go after much smaller fish.
