Podcast Panama papers, Chinese phones, Environmentalism, GOT
Just finished
was excellent.
I don't know wtf you're talking about Game o Thrones though, you guys watch too much TV/movies imo :D
You mentioned (and I'd heard this before) that people in the Panama Papers saying 'it's nothing illegal'. Yet if I don't pay my taxes, or hide my income its TOTALLY illegal. How does that work?
Either way that issue is very multi-faceted. Did you see the thread here talking about how few (if any) american establishment names are on the list?
It is also weird because if you think these guys are bad guys doing their offshore games, you sort if inversely assume that the GOOD guys PAY THEIR TAXES. Which kind of breaks down to; paying taxes = right/good.
I understand the logic of taxes and am aware of the good they do, on the other hand I can easily see a large % of taxes as simply outright theft under threat of violence, with little to no say or control over where that money goes.
So somehow now, paying taxes to the 1% becomes noble, and skipping out on taxes BY the 1% becomes dastardly. Is this not kind of a mental twist of double-speak? Its almost as if the whole thing is designed to twist our sense of morality when it comes to class warfare etc.
Ooooh, panama papers bad, but look at me I pay all my taxes to the same motherfuckers, I am good lol

I see what your saying . For me the whole ideas of Tax is something to really consider when we rip up the system and start a fresh. It's not illegal as they (the wealthy elite) have the lawyers and accountants to make sure that they play by the rules that there colleagues wrote.
I like the fact that I contribute to health, fire, police, services , education , roads etc etc I don't like the fact that I contribute to the manufacture, training and deployment of weapons of mass destruction, land invasions and more with my tax payments.
However as a member of the 99% I am forced to play by the legal rules that I can afford and by default this means I pay a larger proportion of my wage/ money earned to tax compared to the wealthy. For the mass majority of individuals in the UK contributing to the social system pay a fairly high ratio in comparison to those who have the money to pay more.
Big John Macafee the legendary internet guy/hacker was on RT news talking about how he believes the US government were behind the Panama papers hack, he points to the fact that there are little US names on the list as the clue. Saying that the government now has all these name as leverage. He claims the government is corrupt to the core and like Rome ready to fall!!
By the way do you guys watch RT news. Its about the only main stream one over hear that is worth watching. Well . It does assume that the viewer is not brain damaged!!

i have a lot to say about this show, Ill just carry on.........
the system requires good guys and bad guys, its the colour we choose to paint our own personal judgement on what is good or bad. we are little brainless societal canvases that are often usurped and programmed to obey
in Canada we have the CBC eh, it is basically a copy of the BBC......its job is to define what type of wholesome liberal canadians we are. we are told by a broad spectrum of mostly gay tv hosts (but all have some colour heritage), what is proper in a timely method...basically the CBC occupies all media streams from radio to tv to the all mighty internets
The 1% are generally hoarding types, this is how they climbed to the top of this heinous social pyramid structure. It's a numbers game but you have to play to not just get in but then get to that 1% place. At that 1% is where we will find everyone with their hands out, the minions, the tax collector, the insurance brokers all in it for their cut. Once you get into the position of landing at the mere 1% (which by the way isnt that much income, compared to the real wealthy...) the struggle remains just to keep current and saturate your market share to maintain that place relative to exist in any business.
I have done all these things and more before my now current "sabbatical" to reset something that I lost along the way. I lost it because I was sick and tired of the douche-bag plays that go on at that level of business, the disregard and respect that leaves when at any cost ego or a power play is executed. I also found to get to the next level is near impossible, as in to invest and avoid the tax revenue that comes with a successful business requires something beyond just a huge amount of capital.
in a nutshell corruption permeates all crevices and crannies, it is a part of human nature and tendency. Not all people are like this but you definitely feel it permeates when you hit certain levels of business, in both the private and public sector. I was involved in municipal government contracts the whole of my current 20 year as a business owner, what a mind numbing experience just observing what the type of culture that work enviroment turned up. In one word "fucked" from usurped political motives of both management and unionized employees
slavery does still exist, we pay for the corrupted values and the cost is translated in taxes. The fact we are indebted even in death, proves we are an owned commodity and asset to our governments or the general human collective we reside with. For 20+ years as an incorporated company officer, I have paid on behalf of the company more than 25% tax of the total gross income of the company. The total amount of taxes paid out is nauseating when you see the other side of how it is spent by the government (after they easily remove it from your possession
My next career I am organising so I can deal with less of the collective and more with individuals. As I get older I have become a jaded bastard that is finding it more and more difficult to be involved with various groups that display this culture of entitlement and political influence, when neither belong in any work enviroment

Robbstar I love me some RT news, they are great
SO fresh after not seeing any of these ideas anywhere near the mainstream for years and years, all of a sudden RT comes along and starts echoing these views
Sometimes they go too far but that's OK cuz the real mainstream is even father the other way, we need some balance
What, I wish you well in your endeavor to re-invent your income-generator on better terms.

I can relate to the jaded bastard part
People say they all want the truth, but when they are confronted with a truth that disagrees with them, they balk at it as if it were an unwanted zombie apocalypse come to destroy civilization.
