This sounds more like Mineminals and how a lot of them are no longer buying diamond rings because they are buying into the De Beers Diamond Conspiracy and they need a new way to sell product.
Well, when there was actually "litigation" concerning "the De Beers diamonds antitrust class action sought to end an alleged 60-year conspiracy to fix the price of rough diamonds in the U.S. by the De Beers group of companies. The litigation includes several cases including Hopkins v. De Beers Centenary A.G., et al., No. CGC-04-432954, which commenced on July 24, 2004, and Sullivan v. DB Investments, No. 04-cv-02819, and earlier related cases that commenced in 2001."
NOTE: et al., - "an abbreviation meaning “and others.†It is used to shorten lists of author names in text citations to make repeated referencing shorter and simpler."
I'd say its a real thing considering; There was an actual settlement AND $295M was given back to claimants...
De Beers diamonds Antitrust class action
"Working out the details took three years between Plaintiffs' Counsel and De Beers. On April 14, 2008, the Court conducted a fairness hearing and on May 27, 2008, granted final approval to the settlement. The settlement provides $295 million to purchasers of diamonds and diamond jewelry, including $130 million to consumers.
In addition, De Beers consented to a historic injunction that prohibits De Beers from monopolizing the world supply of rough diamonds and from fixing the price of polished diamonds. The injunction also requires De Beers to submit to the continuing jurisdiction of the United States District Court for enforcement of the injunction.
Commenting on the case, plaintiff's counsel Eric B. Fastiff of Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein stated that De Beers' offer to settle "showed that our strategy was correct. If you put litigation pressure and represent your client vigorously, eventually a guilty defendant will recognize that it needs to resolve its problems."
NOW what millenials are doing wrong is failing to assert themselves as "Owners" of anything. They would rather share or rent things or live at home. The failure here is that few people understand that without property, you limit yourself in actual rights and real wealth. "ALL RIGHTS are derived from PROPERTY" thats why slaves were what they were, and free (wo)men OWNED things.
If you know ANYTHING of history, TRUE history and you know your constitution, the laws as far as US Code and US Title. it doesnt take a raving genius to string together words and define them and read between the lines and Note;
"Instead of receiving State Citizenship which recognizes Natural Rights, African Americans only received the “United States Citizenship†of the Federal United States and “Civil Rightsâ€, not “Natural Rightsâ€.
When you look up “Civil Rights†you learn that they are “privileges†conferred by Congress and can be taken away by Congress just as fast.
You will also figure out sooner or later that the entire “Civil Rights Movement†demanding “Equal Civil Rights†had to have something to be “equal†to.
Equal to What?
Martin Luther King, Jr. wanted the civil rights owed to black Americans to be “equal to†the Natural Rights enjoyed by their white counterparts inhabiting the Continental United States. And enough people got mad enough about it to force the Congress to guarantee it, finally.
But consider this while you are attacking me for standing on the land jurisdiction of the Continental United States and invoking my State Citizenship and its guarantees—- without me demanding that my Natural Rights be honored, there is no standard determining the meaning of “Equal†Civil Rights.
If I lose my claim to Natural Rights, the Congress is set free to reduce all rights owed to all people in both the Continental and Federal United States to the level of slaves in 17th century Haiti.
The further unforeseen (and unannounced) consequence for Federal Citizens was that first the former black slaves and later white “United States Citizens†as well were conscripted and registered as “assets†of the United States of America, Inc., and their labor and other property was “made available†for the “hypothecation of debtâ€.
Look up the word “hypothecation“.
It's surreptitious theft using a mechanism akin to co-signing a loan, but in this case, you aren't necessarily made aware that you are the co-signer. Someone claiming to “represent†you as your agent, offers you and your resources to stand good for a Third Party. In this case, Federal United States Citizens and their property assets were offered as collateral backing the debts of the United States of America, Inc. by the members of Congress.
This is where the process of registering people as human chattel and issuing bonds for sale based on the estimated worth of their lifetime labor — CUSIP bonds– began. The “title†to the freed slaves was seized and flipped from private ownership to public ownership. They became chattel backing the debts of the “government corporationâ€.
To tidy up this outrage and excuse it as a “private contract†between the victims and the government corporation, the 14th Amendment Public Charitable Trust was established. In exchange for all the money raised by bonds issued against the value of their labor, the “freed†black slaves were enabled to access the “benefits†of the Public Charitable Trust.
This was a deal only bested by the theft of the land from the Native Americans."
"Supplementing the US Constitution, the Bill of Rights declares that all alleged US citizens have claim rights in addition to the property rights it attempts to reify (through double dipping by extending judiciary/legal benefits like the 4th, 5th and 8th Amendments). This reification of your rights to exclusion is an attempt by the State to express to you that such rights would not exist without their territorial monopoly. In consideration of the claim rights expressed in the 1st Amendment, for example, it is evident that the State does not aim to prevent the erosion of your property rights.
Rather, the State aims to compromise and blur them as means to attract prospective citizens, who the State would wish to treat as “tax cattle.â€"

Seriously re read the 13th and 14th amendments.. and then read them again, and then again. ANd then when you start to see how carefully worded they were, and mind you the founding fathers only came up with the first 12 amendments, AND the 13th amendment ISNT even the original 13th amendment if you were not aware.
Original ratified 13th Amendment that disappeared in 1875
Class dismissed until tomorrow Gents...
