Panama Papers

[Masato]

Supposed to be the biggest data hack in history.

Haven't looked into it too much, but some questionable perspectives already:

QUI BONO???

Why it seems the majority of people 'exposed' are almost all enemies of the west?

Why (so people are saying) that it does not include anyone from US Elite circles? (one vid said the biggest US name on the list was Tina Turner, lol)

Why not make it open source? It seems mainstream media giants have control over the info, and are choosing to keep much of it private.

Is this a legit hack? Or some western psy-op against its enemies?

Further investigation is needed.


Here is 1 article that I found interesting, but I am sure there is much more to this:

please post any vids/links/info you find relevant.

I listened to Press for Truth/Dan Dicks... but imo he is getting a bit of confirmationbias syndrome, looking at things with a narrower and narrower world-view. This Berwick guy he interviews I also found to be a bit silly to be honest (getting tired of the super-conspiracy guys, learning that the world simply ain't so simple)



that's as far as I got.

Going out now with the missus for an overnight, but I definitely want to learn more about this.

Seems VERY strange that a hack about corruption of this size would NOT include a host of western elites, if this is indeed the case.

If this is true, I would very much be looking forward to some kind of retaliation from Putin & co... I'm sure they have plenty mud they could sling back :D

You're too young to be using terms like "going out with the missus"

^ goin' out with mah bitch'? is better?
:D


But seriously, I went to the bank today, some mofos reading newspapers in the sitting area with the story on the front page: PANAMA PAPERS DAY 4

obviously this is all over mainstream. But who is on the front page? A bunch of 'elites' from China!

lol

Is ANYONE from western oligarchy named in these papers?

good article:
https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives ... nama-leak/

FUNDERS INCLUDE:

The leak is being managed by the grandly but laughably named “International Consortium of Investigative Journalists”, which is funded and organised entirely by the USA’s Center for Public Integrity. Their funders include

Ford Foundation
Carnegie Endowment
Rockefeller Family Fund
W K Kellogg Foundation
Open Society Foundation (Soros)

"The corporate media – the Guardian and BBC in the UK – have exclusive access to the database which you and I cannot see. They are protecting themselves from even seeing western corporations’ sensitive information by only looking at those documents which are brought up by specific searches such as UN sanctions busters. Never forget the Guardian smashed its copies of the Snowden files on the instruction of MI6. "

Here is CTV News offering an explanation why there are no Americans named:

http://www.ctvnews.ca/business/why-are- ... -1.2850790

EXPLANATION:

"...because the Panama-based Mossack Fonseca law firm at the centre of the scandal doesn't like taking on American clients, one of its founders says."

A friend posted this article on FB as an explanation why there are no major Canadians on the list:

http://business.financialpost.com/news/ ... -companies

He says its because Canada is ALREADY a tax haven for shell companies.

[Masato]

do you buy those explanations?

[IDL]

I'll buy those explanations only if they are tax deductable.
