Anglo American who have a 1.4 billion (50%) interest in the Pebble Mine project in Alaska is defending its investment of hundreds of millions of dollars in a platinum mine in Zimbabwe throwing a lifeline of foreign exchange to the corrupt and brutal regime of Robert Mugabe. Anglo American is claiming the mine will ultimately benefit the people of Zimbabwe, sound familiar?  LINK

Anglo American also has a 45% stake in the De Beers diamond company cartel who have a long track record of  market manipulation, and until 1999 were widely believed to be a prominent dealer of conflict diamonds.
