The Antwerp World Diamond Centre wants to sell 12 million carats of diamonds from Zimbabwe this year, which would make the southern African country one of the six biggest suppliers to the Belgian-based trading group.
Zimbabwe conducted two auctions at Antwerp, in December and in February, realizing $10.5 million from sales of 279,723 carats and $70 million from 959,931 carats, according to the country’s Ministry of Mines. The center has also proposed a memorandum of understanding with the government to clean and sort the precious stones, leading to the creation of a diamond hub in the country, Chief Executive Officer Ari Epstein said in a March 13 interview in Harare, Zimbabwe’s capital.
Diamonds are becoming an increasingly important source of revenue for the government after the European Union lifted sanctions on the Marange field in the east of the country on Sept. 24 last year. Zimbabwe probably mined 16.9 million carats last year, according to the Ministry of Mines, versus 8 million carats in 2011. Figures for 2012 weren’t available.
Before sanctions were lifted against the state-owned Zimbabwe Mining Development Corp., Zimbabwe sold its diamonds at an average of $47 per carat while other centers were selling at $76 a carat, Epstein said.
“We were instrumental in the lifting of sanctions against ZMDC,” Epstein said. The company has joint ventures with five companies, including Anjin Investments of China and Mbada Diamonds.

Wealth Fund

Advocacy groups, including Ontario-based Partnership Africa Canada accuse the ruling Zimbabwe African National Union - Patriotic Front of plundering about $2 billion from the fields, a charge authorities deny.
Mark van Bockstael, the center’s business intelligence officer and an assessor for the Kimberly Process, said Zimbabwe has changed. “The situation is much more mature now,” he said. ``As far as the Kimberley Process is concerned Zimbabwe has returned to normalcy.’’
Kimberley Process is a government, industry and civil society initiative to stem the flow of conflict diamonds, or gems used by rebel movements to finance wars.
Besides Antwerp, Zimbabwe will conduct its first sale of diamonds at the Dubai Diamond Exchange from March 23 to 30. It is also looking to hold another sale on the Shanghai Diamond Exchange, according to Mines Minister Walter Chidakwa.
Rio Tinto Plc also operates a diamond mine in Zimbabwe. Its operation is not on the Marange field.

UPDATE: The prevailing lie now is that the pilots hijacked the plane themselves.

QUESTION: Why won't the NSA tell us where the cell phones are then, and HOW can pilots change the skin of the plane to a stealth version to make it vanish from ACTIVE radar while in flight? A really weak think tank came up with that theory.

5,000 feet of lies

The engines reported to Boeing via satellite that the plane remained flying at cruising altitude, not 5,000 feet for at least five additional hours. The air density hitting the engines is an accurate indicator of altitude and if Boeing changed their story, they got bought. At 5,000 feet fuel economy is so greatly reduced that the plane could not have stayed aloft for five additional hours. The low altitude radar evasion story is an easily proven fake just from the fact that a jumbo jet can’t fly long at low altitude because air friction eats all the fuel. That is why jumbo jets fly high enough to get over 75 percent of the weight of the atmosphere and corresponding wind friction below them. The lies are so stupid that nailing them is like shooting fish in a barrel.

McCain and the POW Cover-Up.......

McCain and the POW Cover-Up.......

or should we say McCon-Job

The “war hero” candidate buried information about POWs left behind in Vietnam.

 

By Sydney SchanbergJuly 1, 2010     

Eighteen months ago, TAC publisher Ron Unz discovered an astonishing account of the role the 2008 Republican presidential nominee, John McCain, had played in suppressing information about what happened to American soldiers missing in action in Vietnam. Below, we present in full Sydney Schanberg’s explosive story.
* * *
John McCain, who has risen to political prominence on his image as a Vietnam POW war hero, has, inexplicably, worked very hard to hide from the public stunning information about American prisoners in Vietnam who, unlike him, didn’t return home. Throughout his Senate career, McCain has quietly sponsored and pushed into federal law a set of prohibitions that keep the most revealing information about these men buried as classified documents. Thus the war hero who people would logically imagine as a determined crusader for the interests of POWs and their families became instead the strange champion of hiding the evidence and closing the books.
Almost as striking is the manner in which the mainstream press has shied from reporting the POW story and McCain’s role in it, even as the Republican Party has made McCain’s military service the focus of his presidential campaign. Reporters who had covered the Vietnam War turned their heads and walked in other directions. McCain doesn’t talk about the missing men, and the press never asks him about them.
The sum of the secrets McCain has sought to hide is not small. There exists a telling mass of official documents, radio intercepts, witness depositions, satellite photos of rescue symbols that pilots were trained to use, electronic messages from the ground containing the individual code numbers given to airmen, a rescue mission by a special forces unit that was aborted twice by Washington—and even sworn testimony by two Defense secretaries that “men were left behind.” This imposing body of evidence suggests that a large number—the documents indicate probably hundreds—of the U.S. prisoners held by Vietnam were not returned when the peace treaty was signed in January 1973 and Hanoi released 591 men, among them Navy combat pilot John S. McCain.
Mass of Evidence
The Pentagon has been withholding significant information from POW families for years. What’s more, the Pentagon’s POW/MIA operation had been publicly shamed by internal whistleblowers and POW families for holding back documents as part of a policy of “debunking” POW intelligence even when the information was obviously credible.

We Must Stop This Immediately!

THIS IS HAPPENING RIGHT HERE IN OUR OWN COUNTRY!
We Must Stop This Immediately! 
Have you noticed that stairs are getting steeper. Groceries are heavier. And, everything is farther away. Yesterday I walked to the corner and I was dumbfounded to discover how long  our street had become!
<Untitled attachment 00130.jpg>And, you know, people are less considerate now, especially the young ones. They speak in whispers all the time! If you ask them to speak up they just keep repeating themselves, endlessly mouthing the same silent message until they're red in the face! What do they think I am a lip reader?
<Untitled attachment 00133.gif>I also think they are much younger than I was at the same age. On the other hand, people my own age are so mucholder than I am. I ran into an old friend the other day and she has aged so much that she didn't even recognize me.
<Untitled attachment 00136.jpg>
I got to thinking about the poor dear while I was combing my hair this morning, and in doing so, I glanced at my own reflection. Well, REALLY NOW - even mirrors are not made the way they used to be!
<Untitled attachment 00139.gif>
Another thing, everyone drives so fast these days! You're risking life and limb if you happen to pull onto the street in front of them. All I can say is, their brakes must wear out awfully fast, the way I see them screech and swerve in my rear view mirror.
<Untitled attachment 00142.jpg>Clothing manufacturers are less civilized these days. Why else would they suddenly start labelling a size 10 or 12 dress as 18 or 20? Do they think no one notices? The people who make bathroom scales are pulling the same prank. Do they think I actually 'believe' the number I see on that dial? HA! I would never let myself weigh that much! Just who do these people think they're fooling?
<Untitled attachment 00145.jpg>I'd like to call up someone in authority to report what's going on -- but the telephone company is in on the conspiracy too: they've printed the phone books in such smalltype that no one could ever find a number in there!

All I can do is pass along this warning:

WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!


Unless something drastic happens, pretty soon everyone will have to suffer these awful indignities.

<Untitled attachment 00148.jpg>
PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO WE CAN GET THIS CONSPIRACY STOPPED!

PS: I am sending this to you in a larger font size, because something has happened to my computer's fonts - they are smaller than they used to be.

3 Secrets to Avoiding Memory Loss




3 Secrets to Shielding Your Brain from Memory Loss
Dear Health Conscious Reader,
If you expect to live into your 80s and beyond, which I dare say most of us do, there’s an important statistic you need to be aware of…
According to the National Institute on Aging, by the time you reach your 80s, you have a 50% chance of suffering from significant cognitive decline.[1] That’s right, the odds that you’ll literally lose your mind by the time you’re in your 80s are no better than the toss of a coin!
It’s sad but true — there is no cure for age-related cognitive decline, and experts say that the problem is becoming increasingly widespread.[2] But that doesn’t mean you have to be a "sitting duck," just waiting to become another victim. While the cause of this sharp rise in age-related cognitive decline is not fully understood, one thing is for sure — if you want to keep your mind and memory intact as you age, you can’t risk a passive "it won’t be me" mentality.
And just because there’s no cure, this doesn’t mean you’re helpless. Just a few simple steps can help stack the odds in your favor for an active brain and healthy memory throughout your life.
I’m Joshua Corn, Editor-in-Chief of Live in the Now, one of the fastest growing natural health publications in the nation. My passion for natural health drives me to seek out alternative health solutions that are safe, effective and practical.
Please keep reading because I’m here to caution you that the current medical establishment will be of little help if you start to suffer from brain decay. I’m also going to tell you about three natural brain health solutions that are shunned by most doctors, despite showing phenomenal promise in boosting your brain.
The Sad Truth: If You Wait for Treatment…It’s Too Late
If concern about losing your cognitive abilities prompts you to ask your doctor about prevention strategies, you probably won’t be happy with the answer you get. You’ll most likely be told that there’s little you can do and no need to worry. But according to NIH’s National Institute on Aging, the sad truth is that current drugs are only marginally effective at treating brain decay and have many side effects.[3] So why aren’t doctors focusing their attention on prevention?
Brain decay is terrifying — from losing your memories and being unable to recognize familiar faces… to losing the ability to take care of yourself. My advice to you, whether you’re 45 or 75, is to start protecting your mind now, before you become just another sad statistic.
ABOUT JOSHUA CORN, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Joshua Corn, Editor-in-Chief of the Live in the Now newsletter, is a health freedom advocate who’s been involved in the natural health movement for over 15 years. He’s always been dedicated to promoting health, vitality, longevity and natural living. Josh is currently writing a book on natural remedies and is gearing up to launch the Live in the Now radio show. In addition to his work in the natural health field, Josh is an avid outdoorsman, organic gardener, animal lover and enjoys "living in the now" with his wife and two sons.

The 3 Secrets to Life-Long Brain Health
Over the last few years, I’ve made brain decay prevention a personal mission. I’ve read nearly every research paper ever published on the matter and have interviewed many leading experts nationwide.
What I’ve learned is that amazing new research is proving that specific nutrients, along with a healthy diet and lifestyle, may be the secret remedy long overlooked by traditional medicine. The science shows that these nutrients have an undeniable positive impact on brain health.
Based on my research, the following three nutrients are the "best of the best" and what I believe to be the overlooked "secrets" to preventing cognitive decline.
SECRET #1:
This Antioxidant Is the Brain’s Fountain of Youth

Your brain depends on the powerful antioxidant CoQ10 to keep it healthy. This makes sense since CoQ10 is a primary player in your body’s energy production processes, and your brain has incredibly high demands for cellular energy.
Research shows that deficits of CoQ10 severely compromises brain function, leading to sluggish thinking and memory impairment.[4] Yet, far too many people are deficient in CoQ10, especially seniors. That’s because as you get older, your body produces less and less CoQ10.
However, when you do have adequate levels, your mind and memory thrive! According to a UCSD study, proper levels of CoQ10 can slow brain deterioration by 44%.[4] Furthermore, studies show that people with high levels of CoQ10 have sharper mental acuity, better motor abilities and more mental energy. CoQ10 also benefits your heart and overall energy levels.[5]
It’s important to take the right kind of CoQ10, since many supplements out there are junk. I’ll cover this in more detail in my "buyer’s guide" below.
SECRET #2:
The Omega-3 That Your Brain Craves
One particular omega-3 called DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is absolutely critical to optimal brain function. As you age, your brain’s ability to absorb DHA declines and your levels can drop significantly. This literally starves your mind, compromising both brain function and memory retention.[6]
The results of scientific studies on the brain protecting effects of DHA are incredibly compelling. For example one study showed a 60% decrease in cognitive decline in those who had a regular intake of DHA.[7,8] Additionally, research has shown that those suffering from cognitive decline have dramatically lower levels of DHA in their brains.[9]
Overall, if you really dig into the research, it’s basically irrefutable that DHA can speed up brain wave activity, help to create more synapses in the brain and preserve healthy memory function.
Sadly, too many people have critically low levels of DHA, especially people over the age of 65. However, I recommend you take only a specific type of DHA to make sure you’re not doing more harm than good — more on that later.
SECRET #3:
One of the Most Powerful Brain Protectors Ever
Here are 2 factoids about the nation of India. The first one you’ll probably find only moderately interesting, and perhaps not too surprising. However, the second one might wow you.
Fact 1: The nation of India has the highest consumption rate of the spice turmeric in the word. Turmeric is the primary spice used in curries.
Fact 2: India has one of the lowest rates of cognitive decline in the world, with a death rate that is 8 times lower than that of the U.S.[10,11]
What’s the connection between these two facts? The answer can be found in a powerful antioxidant called curcumin, which is a component of the curry spice turmeric. In fact, research shows that curcumin has profound protective benefits for the brain.
One study shows that curcumin turns on a key gene signal involved with nerve protection, which boosts antioxidant enzymes in the brain and helps to prevent neurodegeneration.[12] Other research has shown that curcumin not only has positive benefits on memory, but also acts as a potent anti-inflammatory.[13] However, it’s important to take a standardized extract of curcumin to make sure you’re getting therapeutic amounts of the active ingredient.
So How Do You Put These 3 Secrets to Good Use?
I want to remind you that by the time you reach 80, you have a 50% chance of suffering from cognitive decline.
That’s why I firmly believe that CoQ10, DHA and curcumin are the best tools available to you for brain protection, along with healthy eating, exercise and keeping your mind active. However, readers ask me all the time how they can put these secrets to good use on a practical basis.
It’s important to understand that you can’t just take any supplement. If you’re not careful, you could end up wasting your time and money, and more importantly, missing out on the opportunity to prevent something terrible from happening.
Here are some quick tips for you:
  1. CoQ10: Many CoQ10 supplements contain "fake" CoQ10 synthesized from tobacco leaves of all things. Look for the words "trans-form" on the label to make sure it’s natural CoQ10. Don’t take less than 100 mg per day.
  2. DHA: Lots of DHA supplements have too little DHA to be beneficial. 100 mg is a good amount. I prefer plant-based DHA, so I don’t have to worry about any marine pollutants like mercury.
  3. Curcumin: The "good stuff" in curcumin is called curcuminoids. And too many supplements have too little of it. Look for a supplement that provides about 200 mg per day and is standardized to 95% total curcuminiods.

The "All-In-One" Solution I Personally Recommend
You can take CoQ10, DHA or curcumin supplements separately and get good results. But for the absolute best synergistic benefits, I highly recommend taking all three of them. This provides a complete umbrella of protection.
However there are two problems with taking all three of these supplements:
a) You end up taking a lot of pills per day — usually about 6 to 8 depending on the brands.

b) You end up spending a lot of money — upwards of $100 a month for high quality supplements.
For years, I asked why no company was combining CoQ10, DHA and curcumin together in an "all-in-one" easy-to-take formula that would save people time and money.
That’s why I set out to formulate a single supplement that would make it easy and affordable to take these 3 nutrients all together.
And guess what — you only need to take 2 pills per day, and it’s priced as low as $19.95 per bottle (plus you get free shipping with the special offer below).
You Owe It to Yourself to Give This a Try
I should mention that in addition to my work with Live in the Now, I also own a company called Stop Aging Now, which has been making premium grade dietary supplements for nearly 20 years.
Working with my Scientific Advisory Board, I created Brain Energizer®, and I don’t go a day without taking it. I encourage you to do your own research, and perhaps you will want to try out these nutrients individually. But if you want your mind to work better now and start protecting your memory for the future, I sincerely think you’ll find no better "all-in-one" solution.
ONLY Brain Energizer Contains the 3 Nutrients You Need
to Ensure Life-Long Brain Health:


https://order.investorplace.com/?sid=BP8331&en=4250134
  • 100 mg of Kaneka Q10™ CoQ10: This is of the highest quality "trans-form" variety from the brand that is used by all of the top researchers.
  • 100 mg of life’sDHA™: This ultra-pure, premium DHA is from a vegetarian source so you don’t have to worry about ocean pollutants or toxins.
  • 200 mg of Curcumin Extract: We use a potent extract standardized to the highest possible 95% total curcuminoids for maximum benefits.

IN ADDITION, I’ve added these brain boosting and memory protecting nutrients for added benefits:
  • 200 mg of Alpha Lipoic Acid: This potent "universal" antioxidant is extremely effective at protecting the integrity of brain cell mitochondria and is actually capable of purifying brain cells.
  • 30 of VitaBerry® Blend: The unique antioxidants found in certain fruits and berries offer scientifically proven benefits to brain function. This potent blend features wild blueberry, cranberry, raspberry, strawberry, prune, tart cherry, wild bilberry, grape and grape seed extract.
  • 10 mg of Vinpocetine: An extract of the periwinkle plant, vinpocetine has been proven to increase blood flow and oxygen to the brain, as well as to improve attention span, concentration and memory retention.

A Complete Umbrella of Protection…and a GREAT VALUE
Brain Energizer is made in the USA in a state-of-the-art FDA-inspected facility and is priced as low as $19.95 per bottle.
