Heart of Diamonds - Title Page


HEART OF DIAMONDS

"In the beginning was the Money and the Money was with the Masters
And The Money was the Masters"



"Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it.

Mark Twain

Insane people for insane objectives are running our society. I think we are being run by maniacs for maniacal ends. I think that I’m liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That’s what’s insane about it."

John Lennon

    Not quite. In the beginning was the Word, but as the Word created freedom, next came willful vanity, and vanity fathered the willful lie.
    Money isn't the master of slaves; vanity is.

  2. "smart people who are putting us on":

    Stalin, FDR, Deng XiaoPing, Augustus Caesar

    "imbeciles who really mean it":

    GW Bush, Condoleeza Rice, Tsar Nicholas II, Alan Greenspan, Thomas Friedman of the NY Times...

    ...the smart ones who were putting us on did less damage to their countries overall than the imbeciles.
