Marine Le Pen is now under fire.

NRx said:This will most likely trigger snap elections and bring in a much more EU & Globalist friendly government in Iceland, which ultimately is the goal of those who are *really* in control of the leaks.
We will know when the next Icelandic government *suddenly* decides to reopen EU-accession talks with Bruxelles. :dodgy:
In recent years, documents exposed by Wikileaks, Edward Snowden and this time, the Panama Papers, have all made headlines worldwide. Among them, Snowden's leaks sounded the most credible since they were exposed by an admitted whistleblower. While the Wikileaks website has at least a figurehead, nobody is clearly behind these latest leaks. However the documents revealed do have basic political targets, which is food for thought.
The Western media has taken control of the interpretation each time there has been such a document dump, and Washington has demonstrated particular influence in it. Information that is negative to the US can always be minimized, while exposure of non-Western leaders, such as Putin, can get extra spin.

A lot of emails have been coming in with regard to the Panama Papers. Let me say this from the outset; Panama has been the key place to establish offshore accounts for decades. An insider has stolen all documents and handed to the press. This was not a government hack. The press has not made all the documents available and that is curious for they too can be protecting favored people. We now have the biggest document leak in history exposing world leaders and their secretive offshore financial dealings. Some 11.5 million documents have been leaked from a Panama-based law firm with offices in 35 countries; Mossack Fonseca. This leak has exposed a trove of confidential financial dealings by the elites of aides to Russian President Vladimir Putin all the way to relatives of Chinese President Xi Jinping. Naturally, the press likes to focus on Putin. There is much more hidden behind the press curtain.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. I would suspect that the Clinton’s might have some exposure here as well but time will tell. When Obama came to office, he and Hillary immediately pushed through Congress a free trade deal for Panama which enabled money laundering to move into high gear. Hillary is worth $45 million more than any other Republican hopeful except Trump. How has she earned so much yet working in government? All my sources have warned about the Clintons for years being available to the highest bidder. Hillary and Panama go much deeper. If you open a corporation in Nevada, you do not have to declare who is the actual owner. That company can then engage in Panama and such names will never show up in the leak. Hillary is notorious for such back door schemes just as donations to her money laundering charity were made to Canada as a front and then to USA to clean the money from foreign governments. She forgot to declare that one. The shady mining deal in Russia that resulted in her getting a few million is typical. Then there was her deal getting a mining contract in Hati for her brother while Secretary of State. She knows it creates a shit-storm, but for a week and everyone cheers her again.

- PM Sigmunder David Gunlaugsson had made a request for a snap election
- But his President says he wants to consult with other party leaders first
- Came after thousands protested outside Parliament calling for PM to resign
- Opposition also presented motion of no-confidence against Gunnlaugsson
Iceland's prime minister has sensationally resigned two days after he was caught up in the offshore tax scandal.
Sigmunder David Gunlaugsson is the first scalp from the leaked Panama Papers which alleged he and his wife set up a company in the British Virgin Islands to hide millions of pounds.
The claims sparked fury across Iceland, with thousands of protesters gathering outside parliament to demand he stand down and opposition leaders presenting a motion of no-confidence against him.
Gunlaugsson, who denies any wrongdoing, initially refused to quit and asked President Olafur Ragnar Grimsson to instead dissolve government and call a snap election.
But just hours later, he left it to his deputy to announce his dramatic U-turn.
The Progressive party's deputy leader and Agriculture Minister Sigurdur Ingi Johannsson told Icelandic broadcaster RUV: 'The prime minister told (his party's) parliamentary group meeting that he would step down as prime minister and I will take over.'

But most did just that and used their own names. Poroshenko put his own name and address on the forms as did other heads of government.
Someone asked earlier what the big deal was, rich people hide cash all the time. That's true and fine for non political types but when you are president of a country such as Poroshenko and you are using an elaborate web of fake companies to avoid paying tax to your own treasury then this is an issue.

Which proves Putin is smarter. Not any less corrupt. Not that it's any news, I'm actually surprised he's involved as I'd expect he'd be able to put away more than enough on the homefront without anyone touching it.
Suppose it might be his rainy day fund.

The Ligurian said:These guys were hiding billions not a hundred bucks. You have got to trust a motherfucker to his bones to sign over a billion to someone and know it's going to be handed back when needed. What was the Icelandic pm going to do if he got fucked over, raise his voice?
Steal a $ of Putin however...

the way Putin comes through, it's not just the possibility of consequences for defection. It's genuine, life-long male bonds that were formed back in the USSR when times were different.
The Russian President said that he has decided to declassify many archival documents, and that he will sign the decree today. And it was signed. Here: http://kremlin.ru/
And he quietly added: "This, as far as I know, according to the information from archive agencies, concerns the period from 1930 to 1989. In these documents there are cases, excuse me, of snitches as well as the innocently repressed, with very interesting names, some documents will surprise society..."

Bernie does. Just kidding that would be hilarious. Actually I have no idea. Nothing would surprise me.
