True agenda – Re: Marilyn Berger
Would it interest you to know that 11 odd years before Oppenheimer’s death, the New York Times ran a feature story, HARRY OPPENHEIMER’S EMPIRE: GOING FOR THE GOLD
which describes far more accurately Oppenheimer’s true agenda which was anything but in favor of democratic principles and support for black trade unions as the obituary details, “championed the creation of black trade unions, and he lived to see those unions challenge the power of his mining companies”; not to mention, the March 19, 1989 story gets much closer to the truth, “Despite Oppenheimer’s public stance on labor unions, when Anglo American was confronted with massive walkouts by the National Union of Mineworkers in 1987, it retaliated by dismissing 40,000 laborers”?
Could you imagine the stress caused to those 40,000 laborers and their families. Don’t you find that number staggering, or simply too sick to contemplate further?
Would it surprise you that Oppenheimer did not stop there? In 1998, a year before this photo was taken
and my first cousin, Adrian Ash was present at lunch in London at De Beers-Anglo American Corporation’s headquarters on Charterhouse Street with Harry and his son Nick
when Nelson Mandela called for help in dealing with the South Africa media who were asking what Mandela was going to say about miners who had “struck illegally” and were now going to lose their jobs, and after canvassing his guests, Harry Oppenheimer told Mandela that he should use the word “lockout” and that word has stuck?
It is also my understanding that Ms. Berger adopted a black kid from ravaged Africa, and so I thought she should at least make the kid aware of these matters.

Hello to you. Im trying to reach Ms. Berger because back on August 21, 2000 she wrote this article
and I wanted to make her aware that there are a couple of critical gaps which have a bearing on what is happening currently in the financial markets.
Thank you,
Gary
PS – I used to work for De Beers and Harry Oppenheimer directly oversaw my year long orientation.
