When you read or hear sensational news or any news for that matter, please take the time to check it out if it is important to you. The recent release of the so called ‘Panama Papers’ is just such a case. It originally looked like we would get some good, hard evidence against some of the folks floating illicit money around for their own benefit to avoid taxes and the citizens they were ripping off. However, on closer look, we see very, VERY suspicious patterns emerging:

1. This huge cache of data was only released to a select few news agencies (it should have been released to everyone);
2. Only a small fraction of this cache was released;
3. The names associated were mostly the enemy list of the USA;
4. The amounts of money are very small based on what I know; generally in the few millions or 10s of millions not the 100s of millions or billions;
5. They are attempting to smear many on this list that had no direct connection to the monies: For example, on his show today (4/5/16), Rush Limbaugh directly blamed the evil ‘Communist / Dictator’ Putin for getting rich off of hiding stolen money from his citizens, but the evidence I’ve seen points to Putin’s child hood friend, not to Putin, and the amounts are trivial compared to what Putin could and likely would try to hide.

So this is a PSYOP in my humble opinion. Who benefits? Look at the Drudge headlines below and you tell me….
