I suppose you may be right. Please explain to me how government policies stifled competition in the diamond industry and led to De Beers’ monopoly.

You mean the monopoly that was created by a sitting Prime Minister of South Africa?

Hmm. You may have me there. I can’t think of how government may have been involved in that.

Sorry factual correction. De Beers was created shortly after Rhodes left office.

Find an example of a monopoly that was created by some method other than political influence, and I’ll concede the point; otherwise you may consider conceding mine: Where you find a monopoly, you find government interference in the free market.

DeBeers is not a U.S. corporation. The U.S. used to be unique in the world and thus successful. Now that the globalist have the upper hand we are turning into a one world s#!thole.

P.S. Are you sure you’re on the right forum?
