things to come. How many American 1ers are on this list?

US plutocrats already have access to dollars

Who's name will come up first?

Dick Cheney?

Poppy Bush?

Darrell Issa?

How about Donald Trump? ?!??1?

There are no U.S. names.

We all know there's no way in hell there are no US American 1%'s involved in this. It defies reality.

The leak has been carefully managed to reflect only upon the people they want in the spotlight.

They've only just begun and have zeroed in on names any international news junkie knows.

Expect US names to be relatively unknown, plutocrats who largely shun any mention in the press, not even on the society pages.

If that is wrong then lets have the names.

The Feds might have to subpoena the files from that office, if they can develop any enthusiasm for going after the tax cheats who have been selling us out for decades.

It would be easy to pick out U.S. addresses.

There are over 11 MILLION documents, 2.6 TB of data. It hasn't been completely examined yet. There may not have any big US politicians mentioned yet, does that doesn't mean there are no Americans at all.

If that is wrong then lets have the names.

Corporate Media Gatekeepers Protect Western 1% From Panama Leak 440

3 Apr, 2016 in Uncategorized by craig

Whoever leaked the Mossack Fonseca papers appears motivated by a genuine desire to expose the system that enables the ultra wealthy to hide their massive stashes, often corruptly obtained and all involved in tax avoidance. These Panamanian lawyers hide the wealth of a significant proportion of the 1%, and the massive leak of their documents ought to be a wonderful thing.

Unfortunately the leaker has made the dreadful mistake of turning to the western corporate media to publicise the results. In consequence the first major story, published today by the Guardian, is all about Vladimir Putin and a cellist on the fiddle. As it happens I believe the story and have no doubt Putin is bent.

But why focus on Russia? Russian wealth is only a tiny minority of the money hidden away with the aid of Mossack Fonseca. In fact, it soon becomes obvious that the selective reporting is going to stink.

The Suddeutsche Zeitung, which received the leak, gives a detailed explanation of the methodology the corporate media used to search the files. The main search they have done is for names associated with breaking UN sanctions regimes. The Guardian reports this too and helpfully lists those countries as Zimbabwe, North Korea, Russia and Syria. The filtering of this Mossack Fonseca information by the corporate media follows a direct western governmental agenda. There is no mention at all of use of Mossack Fonseca by massive western corporations or western billionaires – the main customers. And the Guardian is quick to reassure that “much of the leaked material will remain private.”

What do you expect? The leak is being managed by the grandly but laughably named “International Consortium of Investigative Journalists”, which is funded and organised entirely by the USA’s Center for Public Integrity. Their funders include

Ford Foundation
Carnegie Endowment
Rockefeller Family Fund
W K Kellogg Foundation
Open Society Foundation (Soros)

among many others. Do not expect a genuine expose of western capitalism. The dirty secrets of western corporations will remain unpublished.

The leak claims to expose the offshore holdings of 12 current and former world leaders, including the prime ministers of Iceland and Pakistan, the president of Ukraine, the king of Saudi Arabia and Syria’s president Bashar al-Assad..

The families of at least eight current and former members of China’s supreme ruling body, the politburo, have also been found to have hidden wealth offshore.

It provides data on the financial activities of more than 120 other politicians and public officials from different countries.

The associates of Russian President Vladimir Putin are also identified for allegedly having operated shell firms.

The Panama Papers: 'Biggest Leak in History' Exposes Global Web of Corruption

'The story behind the #PanamaPapers?' tweets Edward Snowden. 'Courage is contagious.'

by Deirdre Fulton, staff writer

The Panama Papers is one of the biggest leaks and largest collaborative investigations in journalism history. (Photo: Screenshot)
[/font]
An anonymous source, an enormous cache of leaked documents, and a year-long investigative effort by around 400 journalists from more than 100 media organizations in over 80 countries have yielded the Panama Papers, an unprecedented look at how the world's rich and powerful, from political leaders to celebrities to criminals, use tax havens to hide their wealth.

The investigation went live on Sunday afternoon.

German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung wrote:

A year ago, an anonymous source contacted the Süddeutsche Zeitung (SZ) and submitted encrypted internal documents from Mossack Fonseca, a Panamanian law firm that sells anonymous offshore companies around the world. These shell firms enable their owners to cover up their business dealings, no matter how shady.

In the months that followed, the number of documents continued to grow far beyond the original leak. Ultimately, SZ acquired about 2.6 terabytes of data, making the leak the biggest that journalists had ever worked with. The source wanted neither financial compensation nor anything else in return, apart from a few security measures.

The data 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.

On May 15th, 2014, the prime minister of Iceland stood before parliament answering questions about how aggressively his government would sniff out tax cheats and fraudsters who use secret offshore companies. Would Iceland follow Germany’s lead by purchasing revealing data from offshore whistleblowers?

The prime minister, Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson, waivered.

It was “extremely important that people work together on this,” he agreed. But whether obtaining the information would be “realistic and useful” was unclear, he said.

What wasn’t known was that the offshore files Iceland was considering buying included offshore companies linked to him and at least two other top members of his ruling government.

Why, it's Trump's pal Mauricio Macri. http://www.democraticunderground.com/110848825

I'd like to see the dollar figures involved. Hopefully the leaked spreadsheets included this data.

Hope you had a great weekend!

They didn't get the camouflage they believed they had to pull it off without anyone finally learning about it.

So many of his associates are up to their eyebrows in this, as well.

Now we have to wait to see if he's going to get by with this particular criminality or not.

It would be spectacular to see this fascist get slapped flatter than a dime with the impact of this wonderful news explosion.

Thank you, so much, for bringing the Macri news here. Too cool for words. I'm hoping it's too big for him to outrun.

But if someone could leak Paul Singer's database of NML clients, then we'd be talking turkey.

I'm pretty sure Macri's name is in there somewhere (like Romney's was). The Panama Papers state that he closed his Bahamas account in 2009, so NML is probably where a lot of it was moved.

For the time being, I wouldn't expect any real accountability. Most federal judges in Argentina are Opus Dei, and Macri's own head of the Federal Anticorruption Office (Laura Alonso) is on Singer's payroll.

She should save some of that loot for a good orthodontist.

Macri has such a tight, single minded cluster around him it sounds as if they've been planning this for years, doesn't he?

It sounds as if their cabal formed when he was the mayor of Buenos Aires, his own Reich. Not good for the people of Argentina.

Laura Alonso is a real nightmare.

She skinny and has big teeth but she's not THAT freaky looking. Here is the original:





And another:

This one seems a little extreme. [/center]
She has cast her lots with a completely lethal group of people, or no one would really be inspired to notice her, one way or the other.

although you have to wonder if this little 'issue' was also mentioned (used as leverage?) behind
closed doors.

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-argentina-idUSKCN0WP0B3

It's a shame Obama is allowing the US right-wing to form so much of his foreign policy for him.

Macri is a man who has openly voiced complete support for the vicious, murderous dictatorship of Argentina which tortured and murdered 30,000 suspected leftists.

He is NO ONE Obama should praise, not in this world or any other.

One might wonder if anyone knew this was coming outside the criminals themselves until the story broke, but it would seem very possible US officials knew it was coming, now that you've mentioned it.

might be used. And will names from the interested American corporations wanting to do
trade in Argentina show up in the Panama papers?

This is from the article:

Macri and his father made out exactly like bandits from wholehearted immersion in a dictatorship which tortured and murdered 30,000 suspected "leftists" in Argentina.

They should be shunned, not praised by a US President.

This is going to get very interesting.

Mexican Government Contractor Who Built First Lady's Mansion Is Exposed In The Panama Papers
Apr 4, 2016 @ 05:26 PM 166 views

Dolia Estevez

The Panama Papers, a massive leak of documents on the world of offshore financing used frequently by many of the richest and most powerful around the globe, sheds light on the finances of Mexican businessman Juan Armando Hinojosa Cantú, described as Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto’s “favorite contractor.”

. . .

Hinojosa and other prominent Mexicans, mostly businessmen with close ties to the government, including at least one member of the Forbes billionaires list, were the subject of extensive articles published on line by Proceso and Aristegui Noticias Sunday to coincide with the ICIJ posting of the Panama Papers.

Proceso, Mexico’s leading weekly magazine, reported that Hinojosa, a wealthy entrepreneur whose company, Grupo Higa, won multimillion-dollar contracts from the State of Mexico when Peña Nieto was its governor, secretly shuffled $100 million through banks and shadow companies.

According to Proceso, Mossack Fonseca, in collaboration with the Mexican branch of the law firm D’Orleans & Bourbon Associates, helped Hinojosa set up a series of shell companies on behalf of family members—including their respective mothers who are in their 80s–in New Zealand. Hinojosa and his wife then “donated” millions of dollars to the shell companies, which acted as beneficiaries of a foundation in Holland.

The firms were aware that the $100 million was just a “small part” of Hinojosa’s wealth, Proceso reports. In July 2015, an advisor with D’Orleans, Bourbon & Associates in Miami, sent an “urgent” email message to a Olga Santini, director of Mossack Fonseca’s branch in Florida.

Panama Papers: Mossack Fonseca labels leak a 'crime and attack'

Updated 4 April 2016, 12:55 AEST

Leaked Panama Papers detailing the off-shore dealings of the world's wealthiest people, is a "crime" and an "attack" on Panama, the law firm at the heart of the scandal says.

The revelation of the Panama Papers detailing the off-shore structures of many wealthy clients is a "crime" and an "attack" on Panama, the law firm at the heart of the scandal has said.

"This is a crime, a felony," Ramon Fonseca, one of the founders of the Panamanian firm Mossack Fonseca, told AFP.

"This is an attack on Panama because certain countries don't like it that we are so competitive in attracting companies," he said.

Panama Papers: David Cameron’s dad linked to law firm behind huge data leak

Richard Hartley-Parkinson for Metro.co.uk
Monday 4 Apr 2016 7:51 am

Lord Ashcroft, Baroness Pamela Sharples and former Tory MP Michael Mates are among the British politicians named.

One person who was named was Ian Cameron, David Cameron’s dad, who was a stockbroker and multimillionaire.

It was known four years ago that he had used the services of Mossack Fonseca.

David Cameron received £300,000 of his £2.74million fortune. There is nothing to suggest the Cameron family didn’t pay tax on money that was repatriated.

Attack on Mossack Fonseca's email server leads to biggest data leak in recent history

Jane McCallion
4 Apr 2016

The cache of 11.5 million leaked files is being referred to as "the Panama Papers" and was obtained from an anonymous source by German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung. It was then shared by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists with the Guardian and BBC in the UK and other media outlets around the world.

Mossack Fonseca, the company the data originated from, is the fourth largest offshore law firm, according to The Guardian, and both it and the BBC claim the documents show the firm has "helped clients launder money, dodge sanctions and evade tax".

For its part, Mossack Fonseca says it has operated beyond reproach for the past 40 years and has never been charged with any criminal wrongdoing.

At 2.6TB, this is the largest data leak of the past several years - bigger than either WikiLeaks in 2010 or the NSA files in 2013.

Expect hits at Russia, Iran and Syria and some tiny “balancing” western country like Iceland. A superannuated UK peer or two will be sacrificed – someone already with dementia.

The corporate media – the Guardian and BBC in the UK – have exclusive access to the database which you and I cannot see. They are protecting themselves from even seeing western corporations’ sensitive information by only looking at those documents which are brought up by specific searches such as UN sanctions busters. Never forget the Guardian smashed its copies of the Snowden files on the instruction of MI6.

What if they did Mossack Fonseca database searches on the owners of all the corporate media and their companies, and all the editors and senior corporate media journalists? What if they did Mossack Fonseca searches on all the most senior people at the BBC? What if they did Mossack Fonseca searches on every donor to the Center for Public Integrity and their companies?

What if they did Mossack Fonseca searches on every listed company in the western stock exchanges, and on every western millionaire they could trace?

That would be much more interesting. I know Russia and China are corrupt, you don’t have to tell me that. What if you look at things that we might, here in the west, be able to rise up and do something about?

And what if you corporate lapdogs let the people see the actual data?

At any rate, you know there is something bogus about the whole thing if American
names and businesses aren't on the list.

The first thing I noticed was the mention of Putin's name. It looks like an organized western hit. I am not taking any of this story for facevalue.

Where are the names of American billionaires?

1. The Editor in Chief of Süddeutsche Zeitung responded to the lack of United States individuals in the documents, saying to "Just wait for what is coming next".

2. There are 4 other known companies like the one exposed which means its at least 4 TIMES more fuck up than just this leak.

3. US TV news isn't touching this story for now...
That means something when they ignore something this big............


4.One needs to watch the spin on this .I want to see the data myself



Pascal's quote on the truth

apparantly no one closely-related to Fidel Castro among the first on the hit list... And I doubt there ever will be.

My guess is that like the Snowden leaks, they will dole this stuff out over time, so it can be absorbed and the little fish won't escape scrutiny because they are overshadowed by whales.

The Guardian may not be doing itself any favors, in the long run, if enough people start publicly questioning their honesty on this selective release.

What are we the people supposed to do with this spam dump?

China appears to be censoring social media posts on the Panama Papers document leak which has named several members of China's elite, including President Xi Jinping's brother-in-law.

Hundreds of posts on networks such as Sina Weibo and Wechat on the topic have been deleted since Monday morning.

The leaked papers, from Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca, reveal how the rich have used tax havens.

They mention Deng Jiagui, who is married to Mr Xi's older sister.

Petro Poroshenko registered company when his troops were being wiped out in eastern Ukraine, Panama Papers show

http://www.theguardian.com/news/2016/apr/04/panama-papers-ukraine-petro-poroshenko-secret-offshore-firm-russia

2:10 p.m.

A Ukrainian lawmaker has called for impeachment proceedings against President Petro Poroshenko over the leaked documents from a Panamanian firm.

Oleh Lyashko, the leader of the Radical Party, said Monday the trove of data on offshore financial dealings revealed by an international media consortium has implicated Poroshenko in alleged abuse of office and tax evasion.

Lyashko urged lawmakers to initiate impeachment proceedings against the president. Poroshenko, whose faction has 136 seats in the 450-seat parliament, appears well protected from the motion, which requires a three-quarter majority to pass.

Poroshenko promised voters that he would sell his candy business when he was elected in 2014. But documents of the Panamanian firm indicated that he set up an offshore holding company and may have saved millions of dollars in Ukrainian taxes.

The unprecedented leak of financial information exposes a network of offshore deals and loans worth around £2bn involving close friends and associates of the Russian president.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: "The main target of this disinformation is our president, especially in the context of the upcoming parliamentary elections and in the context of a longer-term perspective - I mean presidential elections in two years.

"This Putinophobia abroad has reached such a point that it is in fact taboo to say something good about Russia, or about any actions by Russia or any Russian achievements.

"But it's a must to say bad things, a lot of bad things, and when there's nothing to say, it must be concocted. This is evident to us."

Life Peer Baroness Sharples has been named in the Panama Papers, a massive leak of confidential offshore bank details.

Lewes-educated Pamela Sharples is one of three UK politicians to be named in the files, part of 11 million documents leaked from one of the world's most secretive companies, Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca.

Chichester-born Lord Ashcroft, whose offshore tax affairs have come under scrutiny in the past, has also been named, alongside former Tory MP Michael Mates.

According to the docments, Baroness Sharples became the sole shareholder of Nunswell Investments Limited, a company based in the Bahamas that she used to make investments.

http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/14402416.Two_Tory_peers_named_as_part_of_Panama_Papers_leak/

He was the Conservative candidate, and in the largely Conservative Hampshire looked set to win it, but luckily some Tories weren't keen on him, and a former Tory County Councillor (who had chaired the council police committee) stood as an independent, and won it (thank you, transferable vote system - Mates was ahead in the 1st round, but lost in the 2nd).

So we dodged a bullet there ...

Francesc Badia i Dalmases, Director, democraciaAbierta: an “old tradition of English piracy”

"A stroll around any leisure harbour around the Mediterranean or the Caribbean will show a fair amount of Panama flags sported at the stern of the biggest super-yachts, indulgently moored. Other flags of convenience include St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Bahamas, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Antigua and Barbuda... paradises of a few hundred years – old tradition of English piracy. And they are still operating, yet now in another, more sophisticated scale. There is no need to hit and run anymore, you can comfortably sit in an elegant office in London or Zürich and get the transfers done. But the waters – now known as the Internet – are becoming more and more treacherous, as a number of hackers and whistleblowers are sailing around in search of big game.

Mossaka and Fonseca might not exactly be a spin-off Drake and Drake Ltd., but it is the firm your bankers will recommend should you wish your super-yacht to be conveniently flagged. The eleven million documents hacked from that legal firm (some reports say the leak might be originated in the Brazil’s M&F branch) are directly pointing at a large number of millionaires as well as to high politicians and their close family and friends circles. As far as we know, Latin American leaders are also conspicuously exposed to the leak. It is very early days, but the list looks very promising.

From the current Argentinean President Mauricio Macri, to the former secretary of the Kirchner’s couple, from the financiers of Kaiko Fujimori, current presidential candidate, to Juan Armando Hinojosa, Mexican president Enrique Peña Nieto’s favourite constructer from whom his wife bought her famous mansion, known as “Casa Blanca”. The list continues with a substantial number of Brazilian entrepreneurs, already in trouble because of Petrobra’s Lava Jato corruption scandal, up to Hugo Chavez’s former bodyguard, who asked Mossaka and Fonseca for help him with a number of offshore firms, to put some savings out of reach.

REYKJAVIK, April 4 Iceland's opposition called on the prime minister and government to resign and planned a no confidence vote after a leak of documents stoked anger over his wife owning a tax haven-based company with large claims on the country's collapsed banks.

The allegations in the so-called Panama Papers that were released globally over the weekend surfaced in Iceland last month, but the renewed spotlight and a planned protest later will increase pressure on Prime Minister Sigmundur Gunnlaugsson.

Gunnlaugsson told privately held Channel 2 he did not plan to resign.

"The government has had good results. Progress has been strong and it is important that the government can finish their work," he said. "I will listen to the peoples' stand in the next elections."

Middle East and North African leaders and their families have used secret offshore accounts to stash billions of dollars of cash and manage investments and assets, according to information from the so-called "Panama Papers" leak.

The details of the financial lives of many leaders were contained in the leak of 11.5 million tax documents from the Panamanian offshore law firm Mossack Fonseca.

The documents, which have been seen by more than 100 media groups, were reported on Sunday and have been described as the biggest data leak in history. It reveals the hidden offshore dealings of 140 political figures, including 12 current or former heads of state.

You know who will make sure of it. The possibilities for blackmail are endless and they won't let this opportunity pass the agency by.

In an interview on France24 today a guy from ICIJ said the documents may eventually be posted online similar to Wikileaks for public examination.

Legal implications unknown.

Panama to work "vigorously" to investigate offshore accounts

Updated 10:03 am, Monday, April 4, 2016

PANAMA CITY (AP) — Panama's president says his government will cooperate "vigorously" with any judicial investigation arising from the leak of a vast trove of information on the offshore financial dealings of the world's rich and famous.

An international coalition of media outlets Sunday published investigations it said stemmed from the leak of 115 million records kept by the Panama-based law firm Mossack Fonseca on behalf of clients.

President Juan Carlos Varela said in a statement that the revelations shouldn't detract from his government's "zero tolerance" for any illicit activities in Panama's finance industry.

Ramon Fonseca, a co-founder of the law firm whose documents were leaked, told Panama's Channel 2 that the firm isn't responsible for any criminal activity carried out with offshore vehicles created for clients.
