The world's oligarchy dirty laundry: The Panama Papers

[Seattle Husker]

A Panamanian legal firm had a major leak. Based on 300+ journalists review of the millions of documents this firm handles trusts and shell companies for dozens of the worlds leaders, associates of leaders and various wealthy individuals.

More than 11 million documents, dubbed the Panama Papers, show how dozens of rich and powerful people around the world have used offshore and secret accounts to dodge taxes and sanctions and launder money.

The documents were leaked from the law firm Mossack Fonseca and connect to 140 politicians in more than 50 countries.Current and former leadersof Ukraine, Saudi Arabia, Argentina, Iceland, Georgia, Qatar and Iraq were among those named in the documents. Families and associates of Syrian President Bashar Assad, former Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi, and former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak have also been implicated,the BBC reports.

This news story is already being blacked out in China (the daughter of the current PM is listed). Russia is calling this "Putinphobia" and a product of the CIA since multiple close associates of Putin are listed.

As usual, only the desired talking points are emphasized by the Western Press. US allies President Porky from Ukraine, the Saudi King, and Cameron's father were all named. Putin was not; only some associates. Yet the press chose to splatter his face on the story and omit mention of the others. Read the link below for some balance.

Huh? From the article:

The documents were leaked from the law firm Mossack Fonseca and connect to 140 politicians in more than 50 countries. Current and former leaders of Ukraine, Saudi Arabia, Argentina, Iceland, Georgia, Qatar and Iraq were among those named in the documents. Families and associates of Syrian President Bashar Assad, former Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi, and former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak have also been implicated, the BBC reports.

Fusion has a breakdown of world leaders who are connected either themselves or through family or friends.

They even link to a site that lists all of those mentioned. In fact, there are links to a variety of stories in "western media" of those you mention.

How is the weather in Moscow today?

The NPR link has a picture of Putin, but Putin is not directly listed. Why not use a picture of someone listed?

Maybe you need to read a second time. Pay attention to how the data base can be searched and isn't it ironic that zero Americans are named in the lead stories?

Apparently disbursal of the "leak" is being managed by this group https://www.icij.org/index.html

Guess who pays for that group?

The "Center for Public Integrity"

Guess who funds that group?

The Open Society Foundation

Who is that?

Soros

Also funding from Ford Foundation, Carnegie Endowment, Rockefeller Family Fund and W K Kellogg Foundation.

Wanna bet no names related to Soros (or any of these other groups/families) pops up in the list of names?

Here is what the Iceland PM was saying yesterday

 

[Joe Fan]

Putin got smoked out and forced to speak on it.
He blamed Obama.

After calling it ‘rubbish,’ Putin then said the Obama administration was attempting “to shake the situation [in Russia] from within, make us more compliant, and tar us the way they want.”

“And what’s the easiest way? It’s by infusing some mistrust in society toward government bodies and the government, and by setting people against each other.”

“You journalists all know what an information product is. So they went through this offshore [material]. Your humble servant was not there, but they don’t talk about that. But there’s still a job to be done. So what did they do? They make an information product – they found acquaintances and friends.”
