    There is literally nothing newly inflammatory here!
    These so-called "allegations" have been discussed as "open secrets" in conspiracy and "fringe" circles for years.
    It beggars the question, where have people been?

    It has triggered the usual response of "trust them and not these ones over here" among pundits of this so-called community. -Wilcock's recent claims come to mind.

    Agree -- and read an article yesterday which pretty much identified the leak as coming from the CIA.

    Those identified -- certainly the "enemy."

    Thousands to descend on London to demand David Cameron’s resignation

    By David on 16 April 2016 GMT Activism,



    ‘Thousands from across the UK are expected to gather in central London Saturday in
    protest of government austerity measures. They’ll also call for the resignation of Prime
    Minister David Cameron over revelations of offshore investment funds linked to his family.

    The demonstration through the center of the capital will end on Trafalgar Square around 6pm.

    The March for Health, Homes, Jobs and Education has been organized by the People’s Assembly
    Against Austerity alongside several trade unions, including Unite. Organizers are demanding
    that David Cameron’s “vicious government” end its policy of austerity.’

    Panama Papers Show How Easy It Is to Finance Terror Using U.S. Shell Companies

    By David on 16 April 2016 GMT Corporate Crime



    Panama Papers Show How Easy It Is to Finance Terror Using U.S. Shell Companies

    The 1% isn't the only group that benefits from shell companies—terrorists do too.

    By Shima Baradaran Baughman / The Conversation



    ‘The Panama Papers have exposed the largest financial crime scandal of our lifetimes.
    But what has been uncovered by the Panama Papers is much more dangerous than
    simply greed and corruption.

    For those of you who have been hiding under a rock, the Panama Papers are over 11
    million documents leaked from Mossack Fonseca, one of the largest law firms in the
    world specializing in offshore accounts and incorporation of shell companies. According
    to these papers, some of which I reviewed personally as a legal collaborator with Fusion
    Media, over 200,000 international shell companies were formed for over 14,000 clients.
    Among these were over 140 politicians and their families and over a dozen political
    leaders and celebrities, including soccer star Lionel Messi.

    The common link among these individuals is that they used shell companies and offshore
    accounts to shield their wealth from their home governments.’

    Paradise Papers: Tax haven secrets of ultra-rich exposed

    By Paradise Papers reporting team
    BBC Panorama
    3 hours ago
    From the section UK


    The leaks show about £10m of the Queen's private money was invested offshore

    A huge new leak of financial documents has revealed how the powerful and ultra-
    wealthy, including the Queen's private estate, secretly invest vast amounts of cash
    in offshore tax havens.Donald Trump's commerce secretary is shown to have a
    stake in a firm dealing with Russians sanctioned by the US.The leak, dubbed the
    Paradise Papers, contains 13.4m documents, mostly from one leading firm in
    offshore finance.

    BBC Panorama is part of nearly 100 media groups investigating the papers.

    As with last year's Panama Papers leak, the documents were obtained by the
    German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung, which called in the International
    Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) to oversee the investigation. The
    Guardian is among the nearly 100 media partners involved in investigating the
    documents.

    Follow the latest reaction here

    Sunday's revelations form only a small part of a week of disclosures that will
    expose the tax and financial affairs of some of the hundreds of people and
    companies named in the data, some with strong UK connections.Many of the stories
    focus on how politicians, multinationals, celebrities and high-net-worth individuals
    use complex structures of trusts, foundations and shell companies to protect their
    cash from tax officials or hide their dealings behind a veil of secrecy.

    Does anyone here think/know if the timing of the release of the Paradise Papers may have anything to do or be linked with the very recent assasination of Daphne Caruana Galizia, the journalist who led the Panama Papers investigation? Or just a strange co-incidence?

    Very good points connection.

    I believe this is another attack in the financial shadow war.
    We do not know who is the better side. I believe they are all evil (states and oligarchs), none is better.

    A clue to identify who is the attacker, is by identifying who is missing from the list. And who is prominent.
    Clergy and church?
    Big shots from the security/secret services?
    Science/Pharma research institutes?
    Too big to fail banks?

    We are playing a virtual reality game, of duality. In the game of choices, align your choices with your ideals. Everything is whole, complete and perfect. Even yourself. Love is the power to change/create.

    A documentary investigating the flow of money from poor countries to wealthy ones. It would seem many of the stories involve original links from The Panama Papers.

    Look out for Imran Khan from 44m 52s.

    Behind Closed Doors: A film about corruption in high places and those who enable it. Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) are people who hold a public function and as a result present higher risks of being involved in bribery or corruption.

    Offshore leaks have revealed repeatedly that PEPs use British finance and British offshore jurisdictions to launder their wealth, hide their wealth and re-invest that wealth back into the global financial system.

    London is the place where they buy property, where they take legal action against their critics and where they live when they fall from grace. But what happens
    when a developing country fights back and attempts to get Britain to return the money that it claims has been stolen?
