Mo' Kwestinz


And so the story of the 'dirty stones' continues...
1. How many 'dirty stones' were there, 1 (Mia F.), 3 (Ratcliffe) or 6 (Nana)???
2. 'Dirty-looking Stones' sounds like a kiff quote to use in a diamond ad, non?
3. What exactly are 'blood diamonds'?
4. How does the ICC know that these particular dirty stones were in fact 'blood diamonds' that can be linked back to Fodey Sankoh's rebels? (haven't seen it in news articles so if u know, post a link.)
5. Is every, single diamond from a country at war like Sierra Leone a 'blood diamond' during years of conflict?
6. Is Shell in Nigeria or Trafigura in Cote d'Ivoire dealing in 'blood oil'? What about the ships using Ghana as a digital dumping ground and Somalia, as a toxic dump site, is that 'blood waste'?...Surely there must be a 'blood everything movement' within the leftwing meedja if it is truly to be the Plantation's voice of reason.
7. If Jeremy Ratcliffe is wrong for having kept the diamonds a secret then surely De Beers and their German padres in Zimbabwe are guilty of wrongdoing since they kept it a secret for years that there were diamond fields in Marange?
