THE PANAMA PAPERS, THE PARADISE PAPERS AND RELATED REVELATIONS - A TIMELINE
June 22, 2010 'The greatest libertarian show on earth' will feature 'Escape from America' financial advice
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/right-now/2010/06/the_greatest_libertarian_show.html
FreedomFest, the annual libertarian gathering in Las Vegas, will offer a seminar titled “Escape from America: The Five Steps to Financial Freedom,” conducted by the Sovereignty Society. No surprise or scandal here -- this is a topic libertarians have discussed for years. But it's an amusing difference between libertarians and the rising “tea party” movement, which will be saluted at several other Freedom Fest events. The Sovereignty Society's site is chock-full of tips on which sovereign funds to invest in ("If you retreat to these 6 Ponzi-Proof investments right now, your wealth could multiply 3-5 fold, even as millions of Americans watch their retirement accounts go up in smoke.") and essays like this one from "wealth preservation and privacy expert" Mark Nestmann on the financial benefits of giving up American citizenship...

Dec 19, 2016 Follow The Money: Panama Papers Motherload of Ties Between Drumpf and Russian Mobster Oligarchs
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/12/19/1612741/-Follow-The-Money-Panama-Papers-Motherload-of-Ties-Between-Drumpf-and-Russian-Mobster-Oligarchs
This lengthy but enlightening article with a forward by David Cay Johnston and written by James Henry, shows just how important the Panama Papers were, if people had wanted to delve into the links between Russian oligarchs and Drumpf. Too bad people were all focused on “trade deals” that weren’t there to haunt us. All of this information should have been front and center. These people have been Drumpf’s business cohorts for decades. Some of them are apparent family friends. The kids hang out with them, too. It’s a long article and the source allows one free article, so take your time and read it. If only investigative journalists had been doing what James Henry has done and not gone for that shiny object...e-mails. There should be a massive Church Commission to investigate these relationships. Crimes and misdemeanors look like shiny objects to me...

02/14/17 Putin has Drumpf on ropes early as Flynn resignation rattles world politics
http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/the-administration/319591-putin-has-trump-on-ropes-early-as-flynn-resignation
Michael Flynn’s abrupt resignation as national security adviser, and the admission that he misled the vice president about his conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, raises the clear question of whether Flynn was rogue or authorized. Far from cauterizing the wound, Flynn’s departure puts more blood in the Senate waters, and rattles diplomats at the United Nations. The Watergate refrain, “What did the president know, and when did he know it?” is the tune of the day on Capitol Hill...
