The title refers to Irene Zisblatt herself - she’s the 5th diamond. What about the first four diamonds? Well, Zisblatt (who says she was born Chana Siegelstein) says that before her parents were killed and she was taken to Auschwitz, her mother sewed four diamonds into the hem of her skirt so she would be able to buy bread one day. Once she got to the concentration camp, there was no place to hide the diamonds for safekeeping, of course. So what did Zisblatt do?She swallowed the diamonds. And then she dug them out of her poop and swallowed them again. And again the next day. And the next day. Every day for 15 months, nearly 500 days, she swallowed those diamonds, dug them out of her feces, and ate them again.Now, I’m no doctor, but I’m pretty sure that eating four diamonds every day would destroy your esophagus long before 15 months had elapsed. I’m aware that some smugglers have swallowed gemstones on rare occasions, but it boggles the mind to think a person could do this every day for 15 months and live to tell about it.Then there’s all the fecal material she would have ingested. If she hadn’t sliced her esophagus to shreds, that would’ve killed her alone. From everything we hear about the concentration camps, they barely had enough water to drink every day, but she had enough to scrub four fecal encrusted diamonds clean enough to eat every day? The camps were filthy, but she had plenty of hot water and sanitizer? Come on.http://thy-weapon-of-war.blogspot.com/2008/12/yet-another-bogus-holocaust-survivor.htmlJA, the story is true! Even on days when we had no water, I'd eat those precious diamonds! Some days, when I was constipated, I'd get a good looking German guard named 'Hanz' to use his huge schlong and stick into my secret place, where he'd vigorously push back and forth until I felt something pop!

Shlomo said… This time next year, you and your fellow Americans, the ones still alive that is, will be occupying internment camps. Your homes, your businesses, utilities, and infrastructure, for all intents and purposes, have already been sold to the Chinese. Yes, America will soon be known as New China. There are millions upon millions of Chinese nationalists who are to converge on their new home. Thank you, Americans, for keeping the lights on, and your minds off. A. Peasant said… i am aware of this information from the dr. ott presentation.it's quite a spectacular plan. of course, having grand plans for world domination and actually executing them are two different things, as israel can attest. Shlomo said… I know of no Dr. Ott, but the information is correct. Many American homes that are currently occupied, are being marketed and pre-sold, today, in China. The current occupant of these homes, while dutifully tendering mortgage payments every month, never missing a payment, has no idea that his payments are for naught. It is beyond his control or very knowledge that the the instruments of debt, securitized by his mortgage, have failed. As a result, legal posession of those homes will be granted to the Chinese government, sooner than later. The unrest that will occur as a result of unannounced evictions (by the 400,000 UN troops currently in-country). Home equity, once the fuel of American consumerism, is no longer. How will someone, 25 years into a 30 year mortgage, assuming they have much 'equity', handle learning that they have nothing at all? Not only is that person to lose everything they own, their home, bank accounts wiped out by the devaluation to nothingness of the dollar, home equity gone, going to react? They will react in precisely the way that leads to permanent internment.
