Russia Is Sitting on “Trillions of Carats” of Diamonds
Russia has just declassified a secret it has been keeping for 40 years: it is sitting on trillions of carats of diamonds, enough to supply the global diamond market for 3,000 years.
The diamonds are “twice as hard” as normal, making them ideal for industrial applications, such as diamond saws.
We've previously discussed an even bigger stash of diamonds which may eventually flood the markets: one which is 10 billion trillion trillion carats.
Postscript: The PBS special The Diamond Empire hinted at Russia's diamond resources in 1994:
If the Russians had dumped their diamonds on the market, it might have put an end to the [diamond] cartel ....

It is perhaps amusing to think that, at the height of the cold war, the eternity ring that was being so successfully marketed in America was filled with stones from Siberia.

Russia has more leverage than other producers. It's diamond production is greater than South Africa's. Its deposits in the ground are immense and its stockpiles may exceed even those of De Beers.
Russia's instability and desperate need for hard currency are potentially devastating to De Beers. These millions of carats of diamonds [they were off by a hundred million times or more ... but who's counting?], if suddenly dumped onto the market, could destroy the cartel.

Sasquatch and Yeti are for realz man. And Elvis is alive, I had a fried banana sandwitch with him the other day. The Yeti will back me up.

A diamond is forever ...
Just not its mark-to-market value
Diamonds are just distilled sand....how "rare" or "valuable" is that.
DeBeers only let out so many per year, creating a false market. I hope Russia floods the market enough, for industrial applications, that we guys are off the hook for the mandatory overpriced bobble.
Maybe you have never seen a industrial diamond? Industrial diamonds look more like a hunk of charcoal then what's on her finger. Synthetic diamonds make up almost 90% of industrial diamond market. All it takes to make diamonds very cheap energy.
Sand is silica, makes non-crystalline glass.
Diamonds are high-pressure crystals of high purity carbon *.

Thanks! for bursting my bubble! I bought acreage in Florida thinking I'm sitting on a gold-mine! Er, diamond-mine...damn...
I think De Beers just shit their pants.
Do De Beers shit in the woods?
The solution of course would be to buy more affordable "cultured diamonds". The wifey or mistresses would have no idea since they are exact same physical aspects as regular diamonds and can only be spotted by specialized equipment.
In the end though, Russia was an accomplice - they chose not to disclose this asteroid crater mine and continued selling from another profitable diamond mine of theirs.
THEY KEPT THIS SECRET FOR 40 YEARS!!! So throughout the years, Russia has been profiting from these inflated prices...
The diamonds might not be suitable for jewelery though - the article says they're more for scientific or industrial use. Not sure if they can be used as a stand in for jewelery.
The question is: Why are they revealing this now.

High stakes poker game in progress...
Even the billions of US tax $ funneled to the tiny terrorist statelet is not enuff to keep all the tentacles of that international octopus operational...they need a constant flow of filthy lucre from their kriminal enterprise empire....drugs, gambling, human trafficking, organ trafficking, diamonds, gold and other metals, there's no end to it, but it's never enuff. Bribing the entire politico\judicial structure of the western world is an expensive bizness.
The kooks in kontrol in tel aviv have warned Russia to back off on Syria\Iran, just as they have delivered a stern warning to Washington. But unlike their puppet in DC, Putin has taken offence at his assigned status as puppet princeling, and gone rogue. Hence the return msg.
Miners on strike, kash kows like da Morgue on the ropes, opium pipeline being strangled slowly, now the blood diamond trade gettin rough...it's not easy bein a parasitical pirate pharisee these days...
Ummm ... I beg to differ, squire!
The reason they appear to be so greedy is not that they need the money (after all, they print the fucking stuff!), it's that they are trying to strip it from us - the Western middle class (both upper and lower ends).
All that money spent by youth (and baby boomers) on drugs, gambling and gambolling is a tax free siphon into their kache ... as is all the debt repayment from underwater home, auto and iTrinket owners who will soon be presented with a "no tickee, no laundlee" demand to pay up all outstanding balances or surrender title/goods to the same kabal. Only gold owners and property owners who have secured their unencumbered title deeds in their hot little hands will be unscathed.
Robert Welch - a Jesuit insider who co-founded the John Birch Society - warned us way back in 1958 of the Zionist plan to bankrupt the American government:
He also warned that the American people would be simultaneously fleeced by higher and higher taxation, though he left out that they'd also be saddled with massive personal debt.
Well, it's good to see that yur still above ground...the thought had occurred to me today that yu might have already bunkered down somewhere in that massive hole that yu've prolly pawed up in preparation for the fireworks we seem to be on the edge of. I hate to get behind on important stuff like surviving armmageddon, so I like to know what cunning canines are currently considering timely...
As to yur conclusions, I can happily accommodate the thesis yu espouse at the same time as reinforcing my own, as they are in no way mutually exclusive...and as luck would have it, a 'financially focused' site like ZH is the perfect place to do so....
see, the 'operational' part of operational is a magnitude beyond simply buying politicians or financing dirty wars n false flags...the phony narrative of Kosher Kapitalism requires a huuuuuuuuuuuge cast of thousands(millions>???)with which to stage manage faux realities like...uh, the economies of the west for example...
korporate behemoths like JPM, and their special sidekick Barrick Gold don't actually make money, ya see...they are[very expensive to maintain]false fronts that the kosher mafia use to konvince the dupes to kontinue to believe in the whole phony guvernment taxation scam and central bank system...economics is not called 'the dismal science' for nothing...the reason no one ever really kalled Karl M on his ridiculous 'theory of labor value' is that they've all bought into it in one way or another....liberal\conservative\neoclassical\austrian\whathaveyu -there's no more difference between them than flavors of the same krappy brand of ice cream...
Ever since Cantillon and JB Say, the western world has gone to hell in a handcart, simply because folks got fancy an forgot that all value comes from land...whether yu mine it, farm it, make impressive animal-shaped hedges, or take the harvest of the forest critters....
everything else is just a false front, a phony narrative designed to kreate a duopoly of labor and kapital...each supposedly trying to reach into each other pockets...to maintain the fiction that instead of the paradise on earth that we were born to as our birthright, we are constantly on the edge of some kind of hell on earth is so outlandish an oeuvre that it exhausts even the most kopious of kached [stolen]kollaterals...leading to the situation of the moment.
All land to the producer...end the fiction of the rentier klasses and their fetishism of private property...usufructure-based systems of property rights based upon production and stewardship rather than inheritance and legal skulduggery will put this whole sham show to shame in short order...and leave the khazarian kooks up a kreek without any knaves to paddle for them!
End of transmission.
"make impressive animal-shaped hedges"
haha! Pearl Fryar for FED Chair.

LOL ... Who can say with certainty?! I'm expecting a paradigm-changing event within the next few weeks - whether massive war, central banking collapse, or even a pandemic - which will be used to excuse bringing about the imposition of totalitarian government control on the West and a falling into line of the rest of the world into 'Agenda 21' and the NWO. I'm in a relatively safe location for whichever, but flexibility of movement is still paramount for me. Bunkers won't help when the Khazarians can employ bunker-busters! Our biggest threat to personal safety and survival will be our surrounding feral sheep!
On the other hand, my timing could be wrong due to mis-reading their memo and they have a later date in mind. Or a later date could be forced on them by unforseen circumstances - such as China or Russia suddenly leaving the reservation and attempting to preserve their autonomy at the last minute (though I don't see that happening).
I have a different view from that. Ever since the hunter-gatherer formed civil societies, service providers have been by far the greatest creators and conveyors of 'value'. More money changes hands in return for personal services than for any other purpose. Even during the time of the Industrial Revolution, only 15% of the population was engaged in farming, mining and industrial-scale manufacturing - and only a tiny fraction of that 15% actually owned the farms, mines and factories.
It has therefore been a great personal sadness to me to see the relentless and increasing government restriction of handicraft trades, small businesses and individual service providers over recent decades - in the name of concentration and centralisation of ownership into the hands of the Khazarians.
I find the term 'luciferians' confusing, i get the idea of devil worshipping illuminati where i get the feeling all they worship is money and power.
can you elaborate for me?
It is wrong to look at the 'Luciferians' or 'Illuminati' from a traditional religious perspective ... they don't "worship" the devil as an omnipotent being; they worship knowledge and enlightenment and they promote to higher ranks based on merit. "Lucifer" = light. "Illuminati" = enlightened ones. "Alumbrados" (illuminated ones) was an earlier Spanish term for the Illuminati. "Pharisees" was the term used in the New Testament for that sect of Judaism that was opposed to the priestly class and hereditary aristocracy. They have always been in the forefront of pursuing scientific discovery and of nurturing promising talent discovered within their ranks and their recruiting grounds.
'Satan' and 'the Devil' appear to be terms created by Christians. All that is required to become a Freemason, for example, is to believe in a higher unseen power - whether 'God', or 'Allah', or 'Yahweh', or 'Lucifer'.
All they "worship" is centralised power. Money is simply one manifestation of power: As Napoleon Hill wrote in 'Think, and Grow Rich', (paraphrased) "Money is the means to measure progress towards an objective".
'Agenda 21' (proposed by the Bruntland Commission in 1987 and adopted by the UN in 1992) is their blueprint for how they now plan to centrally manage the planet.
