The PANAMA PAPERS: ICIJ Lifts Veil on Offshore World - Historic Leak - Implicating World Leaders, Giant Corporations

[Frankie Pancakes]

From Jim Stone's site. A little different take on this.

2.6 terabytes of data
The Mossack Fonseca Interactive Web Of Secret Companies
This is a mess. A jumble of disconnected stuff as I put this together.

Apparently Wikileaks got ahold of 2.6 terabytes of data that links a bunch of elite people, and shows how they are all connected in business. Additionally, it exposes a lot of money laundering through front companies But I have never trusted Wikileaks, plus this is getting parroted all over the elite owned media, and I therefore I am suspicious of the whole deal. If this was real, I would expect the elite run media to SHUT UP about it.

Preliminary conclusion: The zio press might be going nuts with this, in a frenzy to warn their criminal matrix.
UPDATE: THIS "WIKILEAK" WAS FUNDED (IN PART) BY GEORGE SOROS THROUGH HIS OPEN SOCIETY ORGANIZATION. So this is likely to only target people Soros wants trimmed from the elite ranks. That is a key piece of info, I knew this was too good to be true! This might just be a massive hit on the "old world order" and others who were resisting the new world order.
Suspicion: This could also be a Soros hit on BRICS. One way or another, this is going to benefit Soros.
Fairly rational conclusion: They are going to hang people who are not part of "the club" to get them out of the way before they slam a European based New World Order down.

CONFIRMED: (so far) they are only leaking secrets on Putin, the Chinese communist party, Iceland, Assad, the President of Argentina, and top political people from many of the Arab states. THIS IS STARTING TO LOOK LIKE A BULL**** WIKILEAK, TO BURN THE OPPOSITION TO THE NEW WORLD ORDER. They have so far only ditched people who are not playing the way the New World Order wants. This (so far) appears to be a slanted "wikileak" Soros setup to do a job. Lets hope it is more than that, but if BIBI, SHARON, SOROS, ROTHCHILD, MERKEL, THE CLINTON FOUNDATION AND OTHERS DO NOT FRY, THIS WILL BE A WHACK JOB ON THE LEGITIMATE OPPOSITION TO THE NEW WORLD ORDER AND NOTHING MORE.

Most likely they will use this to burn Trump.

Mossack Fonseca & Co. is a law firm and corporate service provider based in Panama with more than 40 offices worldwide. More than 500 banks, their subsidiaries and branches registered nearly 15,600 shell companies with Mossack Fonseca. My initial suspicion is that it is a lot bigger than that, and I am still getting details

Here is a damning article that is in, of all places, the Maltese press. Fonseca even has front companies that do not use their name directly, in tiny Malta! Fonseca really appears to be the go-to place for shady finances of powerful people, but I think this "wikileak" is going to end up being very selective over who it burns.

I am not going to call B.S. just yet, but am also not going to just soak it in like a sponge. More details needed. . . . waiting . . .

Cameron's dad, senior Tories’ offshore asset dealings exposed & UK media still focus on Putin

Sections of the British public have slammed their local media outlets for ignoring the fact Prime Minister David Cameron’s father was caught up in a massive data leak involving possible tax evasion.

A huge leak of more than 11.5 million documents from a Panama-based law firm saw the British media jump to accuse President Vladimir Putin of corruption, despite the Russian president not being named in any of the papers.

Putin’s photo popped up all over the British press. This has not been lost on people in the UK, who were scathing that so little attention was being paid to allegations that the prime minister’s father had been caught up in the alleged tax evasion scandal.

“Cameron's dad [is] directly involved but [of] course our 'free press' will focus solely on the friend of an acquaintance of Putin,” Twitter user Luke Maddison wrote in reply to an article published by Sky News.

The Guardian newspaper broke the story in the UK and led with the headline: “The secret $2bn trail of deals that lead all the way to Putin,” complete with a picture of the Russian president.

The irony is the Guardian put a story on David Cameron's crusade against tax havens right next to the article on Vladimir Putin, without even mentioning the fact that the leak revealed information about the PM's father.

One Twitter user said it was “tiresome” that Putin was being linked with everything, while main stream media was ignoring that “Cameron has been linked.”

Another Twitter user accused the BBC of being the “British Brainwashing Channel” for not mentioning David Cameron, while the person wondered whether this was “against national interest?”

The tenuous link to Putin was through a personal acquaintance and the accusations made against the Russian president were noted by members of the public.

“You state that Putin isn't listed yet you proceed to use his photo. Western anti-Putin propaganda machinery in full swing!” Mothibi Phosa II said, in reply to a Business Insider article on the topic.

Cameron has said on many occasions that he wants to tackle money laundering and make sure no dirty money enters the UK.

“I want Britain to be the most open country in the world for investment. But I want to ensure that all this money is clean money,” he said in July.

“There is no place for dirty money in Britain. Indeed, there should be no place for dirty money anywhere.”

The Independent and the Guardian did finally get around to publishing articles about Cameron’s father and senior Tories having offshore accounts to hide their wealth.

Cameron’s spokeswoman refused to comment on whether the UK prime minister’s family had invested money in offshore funds, which had been set up by his father, adding that this was a “private matter.”

Only just found this so have not had a chance to do much reading yet. Basically an expose of the elite hiding their money via shell companies. I'm seeing Soros's name linked with this but not sure why yet. West appears to be focusing on Putin's aides and ignoring their own dirty laundry.

Radical party of Oleh Lyashko initiates the beginning of impeachment process of the Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko and demands to establish a special investigative commission in Verhovna Rada (the parliament) to investigate the situation with offshore holdings. ~source was in Russian language

A network of secret offshore deals and vast loans worth $2bn has laid a trail to Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin. An unprecedented leak of documents shows how this money has made members of Putin’s close circle fabulously wealthy.

Though the president’s name does not appear in any of the records, the data reveals a pattern – his friends have earned millions from deals that seemingly could not have been secured without his patronage. The documents suggest Putin’s family has benefited from this money – his friends’ fortunes appear his to spend. ~The Guardian

Over 8,000 protesting in Iceland Starting at 5PM UTC today Link to Facebook Event

Iceland's prime minister is under pressure to resign in the wake of the leaked Panama Papers, which showed he and his wife used an offshore firm to allegedly hide million-dollar investments.

Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson should step down, former Social Democratic prime minister Johanna Sigurdardottir said on Monday.

More than 16,000 Icelanders have also signed a petition demanding his resignation, while the opposition has said it will seek a vote of no confidence in parliament, likely to be held this week.

According to the documents, Mr Gunnlaugsson and his wife Anna Sigurlaug Palsdottir bought the offshore company Wintris in the British Virgin Islands in December 2007.

He transferred his shares to his wife in 2009 for a token $1. Mr Gunnlaugsson has denounced the release of the documents and called it a witch hunt against him and his wife.

I somehow doubt it AriG. They've been sitting on this data for over 12 months and it would seem only selected info is being released now, probably with an agenda in mind.

Iceland kicked out the bankers. Putin is a traitor to the NWO. Saudi and Syria need to be brought to heel. etc. etc.

Panama Papers: German paper publishes ‘biggest leak in history’ on corruption

Panama, where Mossack Fonseca is based

panamapapers‘Germany’s Süddeutsche Zeitung (SZ) has released the biggest leak in
journalistic history, posting 11.5 million documents from a Panamanian law firm online
and providing “rare insights into a world that can only exist in the shadows.”

SZ said it received the law firm’s documents a year ago from an anonymous source who
“wanted neither financial compensation nor anything else in return.”…

…The data in the so-called Panama Papers, “provides rare insights into a world that can
only exist in the shadows. It proves how a global industry led by major banks, legal firms,
and asset management companies secretly manages the estates of the world’s rich and
famous: from politicians, FIFA officials, fraudsters and drug smugglers, to celebrities and
professional athletes,” the German newspaper wrote.’

Panama Papers: Leaks spur global investigations

28 minutes ago

Interesting - no U.S. persons - maybe because the leak was released in conjunction with the Open Society Foundations a George Soros front.
So presumably this is a targeted operation rather than an attempt to expose everyone with their hand in the cookie jar.

You nailed it, I was asking myself the same question.

Panama Papers: Are Strategic Leaks A New Form Of Geopolitical Warfare?

By James Corbett

The Panama Papers are out and the Panama Papers propaganda is out right along with it. So why does this new mega-leak seemingly only expose those in the State Department crosshairs or expendable others and not a single prominent American politician or businessman? And what does this have to do with the OECD’s plan for a global taxation grid?

[Citizen No2]

It's all about the timing.

Don't forget about this too: http://www.inquisitr.com/2957513/d-c...2016-election/

And remember that these 'elites' are not doing anything illegal if the financial frame-work allows. Morally repugnant, legally sound. It is the reason that the higher financial framework and legislation is the way it is........ One rule for them, one rule for us. Our attention will be guided toward individuals when really it should be pointed at the system.

I live in one of these off-shore jurisdictions', and to my eternal shame worked within the industry, and let me tell you, ALL people of prominence, power, wealth and birth-right have their money flow through these places. Why do you think they were set-up in the first place? Because of this fact, I think there is a lot more to these latest leaks. I am wondering if those in power are clearing the decks of some of those within 'the club' who may not be willing to play ball with what is just around the corner.

We will have to wait and see.
