  • Diamonds are worthless pieces of metal, there is a heavy abundance of them, but becuase the industry has fooled people into buying them, this false belief has people funding bloody civil wars just to sell diamonds. They withold stock in the Kimberley Mines becuase of the abundance, and to keep the price high. diamonds are worthless. they were made profitable through marketing starting with DeBeers, and so its remained ever since.

  • naomi campbell should say no to diamonds

  • I was looking for the Mt Eden Dubstep but... okay...

  • you guys spend way too much time on youtube to write paragraph long responses, maybe you can go get a life instead of fighting with random strangers on the internet...

  • their diamonds are the best ! IF babyyy !

  • They buy those certificates- It's a Government run scam- designed at keeping the wealthy wealthy and the poor -poor.

  • @drumheadcircle And all for expensive charcoal lumps.

    In case anyone doesn't know, diamonds are made of carbon and often burn in home fires if they are left out of a firesafe. Consquently, the gold and silver will never burn, just melt.

  • .. are doing the same thing.. 

  • Get over it, I mean, sure this is terrible and they live in terrible conditions.. but if you think about it, there's fucked up things that happen in every country.. Sierra Leone and it's diamonds, Germany and the Holacaust, Tar Sands in Canada believe me, it's bad), US and, well, the US in general.. Guys it happens everywhere, live your life, stop looking at the negative, and fucking make your life the best you can make it, because those people who are digging out diamonds from a cave..

  • @06livefast 'live your life' Maybe people have chosen to live their life being socially responsible. So these people are going to do something about it. just because it happens everywhere does not make it ok. Murder happens everywhere, every day, does that make it ok? To take someone from their family, and their own ambitions/potential? Maybe they're looking at the positive by trying to help these people and help change the horrible things that happen. You're the one looking at the negative

  • @SgtAwesomeYo that's exactly what I was saying you dumb fuck, obviously death and murder and loss of one's potential is terrible and unnecessary, but it happens everywhere, so just liek them, we need to make the best of our situations, and our lives. that's what i said..

  • i watched blood diamond the movie it was amazing! I did a speech for school on it and my teacher loved it. I wish i could do something to help. Hopefully when im older i can

  • waw

  • In my opinion Diamonds are not worth the suffering of those in Sierra Leone. Wanting those Diamonds for pointless gains is an example of Greed (one of the sins). If whole world would just go by a modest, simple none very materialistic living. Problems like this can be avoided.

  • I almost had to make blood diamonds when a rancher was getting pushy with us while we were mining diamonds

  • There is no peace with out war. Man is by nature in which he is created sinful there for there will always be violence in this world as long as man lives. When world peace happens like some of u are saying then that's when you will need to be worried. That's when the world will tear itself apart.(:

  • /watch?v=bNFijS994BY

    the truth about diamonds!

    Thumb this up to get this noticed!

  • people are sufeeing every day for damn diamonds for white women who just wear them. fuck them they know it

  • @BatVirusTrojan r u black??

    

  • @sativuks no im from morroco but my country is friend of west african coountries

  • @BatVirusTrojan y u diss white woman??

  • @BatVirusTrojan Seriously? you honestly think the world is sufering because whilte woman wear diamonds? you must be an idiot to think that. out of all the tings you can blame it on you blame it o whte woman like me? why dont you blame the basterds forcing the people tofind the diamonds their the ones killing inocent people NOT white women.

  • I want to know this phrase in Krio: "PLANTED AND BUILT UP IN JESUS CHRIST, FIRM IN THE FAITH"

    Im mexican, and I love Sierra Leone country. Could you tranlate for me please. Thanks

  • Blood Diamond: Africa

  • this is what the peoplein power want, to see us in conflict

  • God bless the people in Sierra Leone I MEAN THAT FROM MY HEART! <3

  • So we're going to laugh hard when your Mc Donalds and Quadruple Cheese Burger gets abused as well?

  • You heartless BASTARDS ARE FULL OF SHIT!

    I hope there will be another flood in America to wipe away all the RACIST FUCKERS!

    The people of Sierra Leone are friendly and warm, we dont hate anyone

    and not everyone mined DIAMONDS IN SIERRA LEONE. This is just one Town not the whole country!

  • At the first moment, I thought that it's behind the  scenes of Blood Diamond film (by the way, which is really great)

  • fucking sweet can anyone give me any contact information on where i can get one of these diamonds for my wife? i bet she will love one of those.

  • @Vaultzero your fucking sick go see a doctor

  • @bananazgonewild i think ill go see a jewler instead...idk how much help a doctor will be in a engagement ring.

  • If the Africans were so smart they might be able to figure out their own market for them Duh!!!!but no,they would rather kill their own people for them after they dig them out of the ground,savages!its in their mentality

  • Diamonds are only found in kimberlite pipe geological formations and most are found in Africa however We do have diamond mines in the US and Canada,they are not as rare as most think,its just that the Jews have a corner on the whole market and most arent even on the market but in vaults to stabilize a high price,recent class action against De Beers for monopolization on the market,I got a rebate because of it,,YES JEWS control the market especially the blood diamond market!FACT!

  • @magnificentmichaely That would be the only reason I could think of that American Corporations haven't bypassed Africa entirely...One Corporation makes diamonds out of corpses, why can't we do it with charcoal or something with high Carbon content, and drive diamond prices to dirt cheap, make the Africans find something else to fight over!

  • @EPGAH All industrial diamonds are man made,but the technology willl probably never advance because the jewish cartels would loose too much money and as long as the african thugs keep ruling countries change is impossible,they dont want foreign interference but they sure do want government charity and guns to kill more people.the answer is obvious and right in front of their faces

  • im gay

  • you ppl aren't doing the world any good by thumbing up comments of ppl cussing other ignorant ppl out. you're just sinking down to their level.

  • Comment removed

  • ummm, have diamond ads beside your video......

  • USA and EU are mostly the largest costumers of this trade...

    Mercenaries and rebel groups are armed by countries like china, EU and USA to invade and protect their interests.. this has been going on for long. IF you have a country with OIL or minerals.. all you have to do is support the opposition....mostly fascists.. to take controll of that particular area...

  • I am very sad reading peoples comments on here. Whatever dictatorships & power hungry nasties have inflicted on this beautiful planet and it's people we should not be turning on one another like this. People on here sound cold and unlike human beings at all? There is atrocity after atrocity going on in EVERY country in this world, no matter whether we call it the developed world or the undeveloped, these are all of our brothers and sisters, seriously, where are your hearts????????????? :(

  • @abibatoufofana in hole along with all the other niceties that the world has decided to make unavailable to humans, face facts, the world i s a cruel place, and will be that way till we all die

  • @mthatguy1111 If you choose to face those sort of facts that is your choice but I will never agree with that. 'The world' is not cruel to us we are cruel to ourselves therefore it is possible someday that we won't be. Who knows? Either way I still do not expect to hear some of the awful words coming from peoples mouths that I see on here. Big up peace, love and unity.,those are the facts I am facing :)

  • @abibatoufofana just caring doesnt fix anything

  • @lilshortys309 constructive! thanks.

  • @abibatoufofana Their hearts belong to capitalism.

  • @abibatoufofana shut the fuck up

  • Comment removed

  • i dont know why people are upset 75 % of the african people are age 30 or under so basically they just keep reproducing this is like population control they need to die or else their country would be twice as poor and have 10 times as many people and besides who does not like diamonds i say leave it be and concentrate on real problems..

  • @bullhurley74

    I take it you do not live in Africa. I do. So before you air your ignorance for all to see, read history books, look for resource material and educate yourself. If your mother was cut in half, how would you feel? If you had your arms and feet cut off, would you still post such a stupid view? And population is not the problem....those of you who wear diamonds mined and paid for by african blood are the problem! For your information, the former president's on trial at the Hague!!!

  • @nyabwabu thats not ignorance its is purely the way i feel, and if i had no arms i would not be typing at all.and yes im not from afrika im from the so called land of the free where you people have a better chance in life then i do ,yes im poor and i watch your people come here and exploit this country get a free education get rich and return there i dont have that opertunity because i was born here so honestly i dont give a fuck about you or anyother kaffir DIE!!!!!

  • @bullhurley74 to respond to this would be according it dignity it does not deserve...you are clearly xenophobic....

  • @coliacristo Your ignorance and lack of intellect deeply disturb me. I would never hope that anyone experience the atrocities that the people of Sierra Leone have, but you, I hope rebel soldiers slice your arms with knifes, and rub cocaine and gun powder into your wounds, and then manipulate you into murdering your family, like the many children that have before you. All for the sake that some uneducated bitch in the UK gets a new diamond watch :D

  • omfg i still cant believ such a continent as africa with so much resourches would be so poor dam white people stealing there resourches. and i still do get angry whenever i think about how white people kidnapping them and sellin them as slaves many years ago and now there stealing there resourches even thought im asian. that aint cruel that just pure humanity africa was our primeland and we have been threating it with such disrespect we can go fuck ourselfs dam humans im turning to orcs

  • @asianboy938 Your post is quite amusing and sad at the same time since you're quite ignorant.

    First of all, we don't steal anything from africa, we BUY it. How they divide the profits among themselves is their problem.

    Second of all we never forced them into slavery, africans enslaved fellow africans. We bought what we believed was subhumans, you have to bare in mind this was more than 300 years ago, and africans back them were living like neanderthals, some of them even worse.

  • @berzerkerbg well thanks for the lesson and yes im abit ignorant but as well young but as discovery channel says ignorants is bless XD

  • @asianboy938 for 1 the blacks run their own countrys now and they steal from and kill their own people for their resources either to fund wars or to keep the money for them selfs and 2 black war lords used to kidnap blacks  and sell them into slavery

  • Comment removed

  • white liar...when western n jew make money from diamond it call business...when african try to make money from diamond it call blood diamond or durty diamond...

  • @tomaluta youre mistaken its called blood diamond when people are smuggling the diamonds illegally, most of these illegal smugglers have camps that force africans into slavery to search for diamonds resulting to killings and people just dieing from exhaustion hence the word "BLOOD DIAMOND"

  • @TheFirstLiquidVideos How long western and jew are involve in smugglin the diamond illegally, do you remember angola war with UNITA REBEL..

  • Pffft you can just go to a natural cave and use your pickaxe to mine diamonds out.

    Like in minecraft

  • i have 20 diamonds neckalecs and i domt give a fuck for those poeple keep on digging i need a watch

  • @coliacristo

    why dont u try being the people who dig for the diamonds?

    u try being treated like shit

    see if u like it or not

    :D

  • @coliacristo - I know, right? My cock ring needs more fuckin bling.

  • does anyone else hear a kind of bieping in the video :P ?

  • @rvmdutch Yeah,me 2 :).

  • the rebel should be there to protect the civil and fight against the corrupt system. but the meaning of rebel totally changed...

  • 0:01 tell the song name 

  • @crazyfabio1 Dismonds forever.. I'm guessing

  • @crazyfabio1 Kany West - Sierra Leone

  • I PUT DIAMONDS ON FOOOD.

    MAKES MY DOOKIE TWINKLE!!!

  • I hope Kanye west still likes his diamond teeth.

  • Diamond is not the problem you dumb hippies. Russia, canada, botswana, and australia are the world's biggest diamond exporters. These countries are all prosperous and stable. The problem with Sierra Leon is that it is a war zone and has shit for a government. Its corrupt and inhuman. If they didnt has a diamond supply they would just exploit another lucrative material for war funding.

  • @fl494 Correct. People who haven't been there have such a naive view, it's fundamentally weak

  • @fl494 if they would have a good government and not thugs then they would start think and never would sell that dimonds so cheep! But thats what the Western World and the Countries you sayd not want! Its better and more Lucrative to sell some guns for dimonds and supporting the Corrupt Government so it keeps supplying us whit cheep dimonds! Thats why they called blood dimonds! And they present even today!

  • @PunisherLobo ----i am not so shure but. "they sell that dimonds so cheep!" bezause, dimonds, R the more cheep-thing in the planet...but we give them a great value because we R so poor inside..."Blood Diamonds" it's not aname, it's a hamer that remember us aout the real value of the life....(sorry $ my english)

  • @vitojovara

    That's what I've been told, too, that diamonds are really not that rare, but the status quo of their rarity and value keeps the refined and cut diamonds priced high. Anyway, it is a big mess!! The very best to the beautiful continent and very beautiful peoples of Africa!

  • @fl494

    That's what I'm thinking,too,that the African governments have a certain mentality of entitlement,and in general those in control/power believe they can become very rich instead of living a good, modest lifestyle and using riches to improve living standard of populace.Tribe against tribe; Arab against black. It's too bad. Africa is so beautiful as well as all the peoples of Africa.If Africans ever all come together, they will rock the world!

  • @fl494

    OH GOODNESS....Stop being so heartless

    Sierra Leone's Diamonds are all over the WORLD

    I hate people like you who dont know aanything about Sierra Leone but sit behind your computer to commant and talk shit.

  • @fl494 and the US..

  • Comment removed

  • my bf does not allow diamonds in our home we do not condon the mayhem

  • it makes me feel like a dick eating chips and drink soda while everyone else is working their asses off...

  • @TheMrMightyMe i know what you feel.....

  • Some people feel happy by possessing diamonds & think higher price is better(?). They should know the situation in Sierra Leone & think about what's going on in diamond market. Still "Diamonds r forever"?

  • @welcome2my2ndlife loooooooooool

  • can you please traduce this video to spanish, or subtitle remember the latin people who wants to know about this temes

  • DANNY ARCHER

  • ruf is coming!!!!!!!

  • when we die, nothing from this world will go with us, not even our bodies. in that void, we will have everything we ever did and said and how we knowingly effected others played back to us, bit by bit. only then will we fully understand the meaning of empathy and compassion. it will be a painful process being made to face certain truths. in our own interests, it is better to behave with compassion and acceptance while we are here.... self inflicted wounds are the deepest...

  • horrible. and you still have folks boasting about 'not giving a fuck'. just horrible.

  • wow i have a zales add on the side. what a fucking joke.

  • @paintdataint likewise. Makes you wonder...

  • i love the new allstate guy..no homo....shakey shakey

  • LOL diamond add right next to it.

  • The Diamond commercial right before the video on Blood Diamonds was too funny.

  • man thats sad wish i can help them all i hate how racist people bash on them man cmon there human 2 i hope they get better

  • @monge111 You're wrong about them being human. They're technically sub-human.

  • @mrklp i dnt get you sub human?

  • @mrklp Technically your mom is sub-human meaning you are sub-human as well.

  • @mrklp

    Did you say I AM SUBHUMAN

    LOL...I have never been in trouble with the law, but if you were in front of me RIGHT NOW I WILL TEAR YOUR ASS UP WITH AN AK47.

    Subhuman---let see how you feel with a sore ASS...I will subhuman you

    Your mum and dad are subhumans and a big disgrace for given birth TO KAKHOLE!

  • women... the reason why diamonds are valuable and millions die.

  • after watching and reading about blood diamonds, i decided that if i get married i don't need a diamond ring. the hypocrisy of wearing something considered a symbol of love and commitment that fuels killing assaulting and terrorizing, and all because of greed. maybe thats the problem with marriage in this country, so much emphasis on the presentation, on the money for a wedding and the money you fight 4 in court when you divorce. humanity is worth more than paper.

  • I'd love to pan for Diamonds there, but I think that's going off the beaten track, and that's certain death.

  • Comment removed

  • @peelincaps yea they are. rip em a new one...

  • GOLD DIAMONDS GOLD DIAMONDS GOLD DIAMONDS GOLD DIAMONDS GOLD DIAMONDS GOLD DIAMONDS GOLD DIAMONDS GOLD DIAMONDS GOLD DIAMONDS GOLD DIAMONDS GOLD DIAMONDS GOLD DIAMONDS GOLD DIAMONDS GOLD DIAMONDS GOLD DIAMONDS GOLD DIAMONDS GOLD DIAMONDS GOLD DIAMONDS GOLD DIAMONDS GOLD DIAMONDS

  • yeah dimonds are sparkley and all but I always thought gold was where it's really at....I mean that is suposed to be what backs up the american dollar in our federal reserve bank....I guess corporations and government aren't separate (constitution states they are) yet our government kills people with drug wars and blood dimonds and oil trade. Why bother suporting it at all?

  • i spit on those who have made africa suffer we all know who the brits "the island of tamimudari"

  • 50 cents if you find a diamond? wtf

  • Ït´s like Hell!! I´m glad I live in civilised place, but I will never sleep good until this change!

  • Everyone in the world is a potential victim of fraud let TheFraudwatch inform you. Coming soon ... WESTERN MINING COMPANY Ltd Freetown Sierra Leone

  • oh please... someone can stop that!!!!!!!!

    God! help them, and protect too!!

  • Geez, unbelievable! How uninformed!

  • HEY HAVE A GREAT DAY

  • wake up black man...don't be shit shooting shit...stand tall and proud...I will send Oprah....read the new testament.

  • every country has something to feed the people...they have diamonds... I'm sending samuel jackson et al ?

    I understand this guy wants a monopoly..well maybe there should be more than one company there. As soon as I can save up..tahst something I'll do with some friends

  • get these people some streets and wells and schools man I will send denzel washinton

  • you gotta make sure these people can keep their money

  • If NOT for the "white man" Africans would have never known about diamonds in the first place. They would still be living in the stone age.

  • @SpeedyNeutrino43 I disagree, the reason why they are so poor is because the "white man" has stolen and dominate there resource for over a long long time. So i think they would found the diamond easy themselves if it wasn't for the overrule from the "white man"

  • Like the native americans, it would be better if they were just left alone. Unfortunately, that didnt happen, would never happen no matter what alternative future. Living in the stone age is a lot better than living in the capitalistic world of legal and illegal attrition that is the west

  • I see we have different views of the stone age. I personally am very happy to have things like penicillin, hospitals, doctors, refrigeration, air conditioning, automobiles, paved highways, stable government, the right to vote, adequate clothing, no fear of tribal warfare, schools, good educations, good housing, shoes, electricity, the light bulb, airplanes......I could go on but I'm sure you see the point. I'll leave the stone age to others who seem to enjoy it.

  • africa!

  • i get really upset when i see this shit i mean realisticly alot of this garbage would had never took place had the white men back in the day took every motherfucking thing in African thas why its so poor i mean imagine if africa had all of those diamonds and never had them tooking away and say there was more unity Africa would be powerful if especially having those diamonds to finance them selfs far as growth and development resources

  • Everyone hates communism ,, but it might do wonders for that country

  • diamond industry bloodsuckers of all time....

  • I was a rebal soldier i killed those who were not doing what they were told.

  • i was a mercenary from france i killed half of your reballing kooks do you whant to know wich ones were cowards

  • Wow, some of you people who are typing comments are just retarded. Kids are forced to fight WARS, and you are basically funding this sick business.

    Is it that hard to just buy Canadian diamonds, you materialistic bitches?

    If this video wasn't powerful enough, watch Kanye West's "Diamonds from Sierra Leone".

    I'm sorry if this came off as rude, but it makes me so angry that some people value their things over other people and their rights....:/

  • Fuck u bitch talk all nonsense. u noe nothing jz about ur mum pussy.

  • World is really fuck*** crazy. Pffff

  • You white motha fuckas think this shit is funny. These people are the children of

    Amun (God) and they have their resources stolen from you raw bitches!!! You all will pay, even your babies will pay. My desire is to cut every white persons throats that I see walk down the street.

  • Children of A M U N ahahha, I said you mad warlock xD , do a society a favor. Hang your self or stop smoking crack or whatever chemistry you're consuming

  • I realize you are enraged and consumed by hatred, but keep in mind that their are many white people who will never support the diamond industry, and who are working toward social justice for Africa.

  • @supervirtuouswoman In am a white woman, and I will always tell your story. i would never accept a diamond from anyone , and rage against the diamond trade always. hate me or not, i feel your pain. we are not all evil..............

  • Hi warlock :D , guess what - I will buy a small diamond ring but only from Sierra Leone because I know it's precious. Sooo many black mammas were digging for my ring :D , I feel so divined.

  • damn just chill......=\

  • You're cool...

    :sarcasm:

  • @supervirtuouswoman thats racist and abusive. not everyone endorses in this, and black "motha fuckas" endorse this too. there is no clear line between who does or doesnt, at least not by race.

  • darn, i'm doing my whole personal project on this..if anybody has any scrap of viable information on this subject or excellent documentaries, please send it or indicate where i can get some thank you

  • @supervirtuouswoman :) Oh yes, pray and watch at chicken bones you mad soothsayer. If you like your race sooo much go back to Africa and stop living on welfare that the USA gives you. It's obvious that you don't have a single bloody day of work experience . Commence something useful, e.g. learn or study as idle mind is devil's playground you silly fortune-teller

  • Guess what? Yo mama is a BITCH!!! I hope she is dead so she can be a dead BITCH!!!!

  • you are damn sick monkey :D , go to jungle idiot

  • this vid is beeping ...

  • diamonds aint even rare people!!! DeBeers have millions stored in there offices in charter house street in london, granted they used to be before modern mining tecneiques but now there everywhere, just wait till russia starts flooding the market , DeBeers will be fucked, russia wont let them buy up there mines then close all but the best to keep diamond prices high... wake up people

  • watched to much blood diamonds? :)

  • Can someone please explain to me why anyone would pay serious money for a diamond (AKA a useless lump of carbon)? Have they been brainwashed by debeers? Does it give them a false sense of importance? Why??

  • my teacher was talking about that what you say is true but its the value we place upon things that ,make it valuable the diamond itself is just a lump of carbon however when giving it to your "loved" one it becomes valuable not sayinig your right i just want to talk about what my teacher was saying and it makes so much sense and wanted to hear comments/replys

  • @NeoConSIayer

    let alone people pay millions for a carbonized stone but how many humans die in Sierra Leone until a stone reaches the rich man's pocket?? Sierra Leone should be world's richest country but instead is world's poorest! sad world we live in!

  • Same reason why ppl buy $300 jeans. just because they MIGHT look good. i dont even wear diamons. it looks to flashy i think. but u get money off of it. so thats why they dont stop. But russians do fuck with any other countries. they HATE foreigners. they kill about 100 every year in russia and the government dont give a shit.

  • Comment removed

  • @NeoConSIayer

    It's valuable, its like gold, silver, oil...All of them broke down don't sound like there worth anything. Oil is just old dead plants that have been under pressure forever...Basically what im saying...The car you drive, the computer your on, and the house you live in...car you drive useless hunk of metal, computer, useless pieces of plasitc, and house, useless mass of bricks and wood...It all has value....Just like diamonds

  • @BrianGT72396 What are you talking about? Oil, cars and computers all have practical uses. Oil can be burned for energy, a car can transport you from point a to point b and computers literally have hundreds of uses. What practical use does a diamond have?

  • @NeoConSIayer what value does a dollar bill have? its not backed by anything, it is literally only worth the paper it is written on yet i bet you use them everyday and why is that? because you think it has value thats why. diamonds are worth something because people think they are worth something, thats all it takes to have value.

  • @anryth well, currency (such as a dollar bill) is necessary for our economic system to function properly. Can you imagine if there was no currency? You could not simply go to the store and buy something with money, you would have to barter for it. If you didn't have anything the seller wanted you'd be SOL. Currency allows you to purchase commodities without bartering. Diamonds have no such economic function. Also paper currency does not involve cutting off the limbs of children in Africa.

  • @NeoConSIayer what did we use before paper currency? precious metals such as gold, dollars could be redeemed for gold until 1971. you dont need paper money to have an economy, money is really just a medium of exchange. it doesnt matter if the money is paper, gold, beads, diamonds, etc. in fact paper money is the worst type of money since it has the power to destroys empires. look at Zimbabwe, their paper money is worth nothing so the people mine gold from the mountains to use as money instead

  • @NeoConSIayer they find value in it, its that simple. why do people go to youtube, they find value in it.

  • @anryth Ok, and what is it about a diamond that gives it this "value"? Youtube has value because it allows people to watch and share videos. It can be both entertaining and informative and provides a forum for people to share and discuss ideas.

  • @NeoConSIayer diamonds look nice, they represent wealth, they are rare, etc. even if an objects value is simply "to make you feel good" and someone is willing to pay something for that, to them it has value. no one can ever understand what other people are thinking but thats not the point, the point is that as long as someone perceives something to have value, to that person, the object has value. i personally wouldnt buy diamonds even if i was a billionaire, but i wont criticize those who do.
