    The Panama Papers

    11 and a half million documents have been leaked from a source within a company based in Panama tasked with creating fake businesses in tax havens so the wealthy, including hundreds of politicians and public officials, dodge taxes, legally but, in the eyes of most, utterly immoral and unacceptable:



    Unsurprisingly, unethical company was co founded by the descendant of a Nazi who fled to Panama.

    Or to wish on pennies in the fountain or the shrine
    But that day you know I left my money
    And I thought of you only
    All that copper glowing fine

    Looking forward to the "who's who" of that game of naked Twister, and then watching any Americans give themselves a free pass.
    Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

        It's pretty shocking stuff. I'm honestly not at all surprised that people close to Putin, the king of Saudi Arabia and several dictators were involved in shady dealings, but the current Prime Minister of Iceland and several prominent cabinet members? David Cameron's dad?

        And I think this is really the tip of the iceberg. It's just one shady offshore company. Imagine what would turn up if we could dig up documents on more of them.

            I noticed that too, but one thing I read mentioned celebrities and sports stars too and I haven't seen anyone matching those descriptions either.

                    Apparently the actual papers contain 140 offshore companies. Still, they're pretty concentrated in a few countries, and there are a lot of places to hide money.

                          Don't get me wrong...I strongly dislike the man and his party. I know he's a member of private clubs and is chummy with the aristocracy. But I kind of thought with all the talk about getting stricter on offshore tax havens, it might have been going a bit far, even for him or those close to him. I guess that was kind of naive.

                            Perhaps naive or jaded myself but I am curious as to what is now being slipped by as attention is directed at this disclosure? Seem's like these major disclosures come about when something else is being moved into place to keep our attention directed elsewhere. Sort of like waving a red flag at a bull knowing the bull is going to charge it, all the spectators are going to focus on the bull and matador even as something else is actually happening both in the arena and outside of it while your directed elsewhere.
