Black veins. I have them and so do you, my ‘modernized' readers. I can smell them from here, but whose are blacker? Yours or mine? Supplier or consumer?

People like me, we don't fight for silly resources, nooo... We fight for the people who control them; it's much easier then sending in petty mercenaries, though they do have their uses. Like I was saying, it's better to buy a region's inhabitants rather than forcibly seize their lands. If the price is right people will do anything.

Mostly I buy the people and feed them a steady stream of propaganda against a neighbor. Then, I sell them the weapons they need make themselves feel safe. They don't know I'm their employer and supplier. Comical really. Some people insist that selling weapons to both sides of a conflict is terrible. Hey, if I'm not making money someone else will. Believe me, weapons will come to a conflict, it's just who is most accessible. In the end, it's all about the profits, and boy was this a good idea.

A lot of people have been complaining about blood diamonds. I don't see why. You should be angry at the people who market them. Not me. If it wasn't for those bastards buying them all up, diamonds would be very inexpensive. I don't know what all the commotion is about.

I find it quite ironic how many of people who advocate this African plight episode are females. The first thing I do, with a great smile, is look at their ring finger. Then I restrain my laughter. A diamond. Firstly diamonds aren't that rare, as I've said. I've seen some pretty rich strikes myself, as a matter of fact I'm a patron to several ‘clean mines.' But returning to the topic at hand, it's ironic how people campaign against African suffering and buy a diamond ring the next. That's fueling the market and driving the costs up people, nothing new...Wealth of Nations? Ring a bell?

I tried intervening in several Mid-Eastern nations, but the Russian and American grips' were too strong on the regions of interest. We did manage to purchase a number of stinger missiles though. Those can fetch some pretty hefty prices...

You can blame America for that.

I don't know why everyone's all so hot over Africa. Ever since the Europeans exploited those countries, its all been down hill. These civil wars are their fault, not mine. If they had any clue they wouldn't have drawn national boundaries between tribes, and forced warring tribes to govern the same region.

It's a recipe for disaster! C'mon that's rule number one in this business. #1. It also helps if you don't go trumpeting your name from the highest peaks, it may offend some people. I mean only helping one country, is only pitting the rest of the continent against your cause. What do you think it looks like when a nation is sending all its resources to one nation, while another is in the middle of famine? It doesn't look to good from any perspective--I know about it, the media knows, and the world leaders know. Why don't you know?
