I'm following the story, but so far it seems to be almost entirely a
political story, albeit a very big one. I would need to see where the
Panama papers leak is influencing the real course of world events in
some way besides forcing some politicians to resign. There is one
candidate story that's growing in significance: The papers reveal that
China's leaders have been massively using phony real estate deals,
importing scams, and money laundering to convert yuans to dollars and
stash them overseas. This could be explosive in a country that has
historically had massive popular rebellions because of government
corruption.

Prime Minister Sigurdur Ingi Johannsson is now expected to press ahead with plans to end capital controls.

Anyways, Mossack Fonseca's software was entirely Bill Gates/MicroShitty/NSA based and backwards compatible to SQL Server 7, Windows Server 2000, Windows 95/NT, and Internet Explorer 5.5. The image & email files (which were in a MS SQL database) were obviously unencrypted. It is possible to implement some application and database security and encryption in software that this backwards compatible (to the Glass Steagall Dark Ages), but Nuix's product is designed to vacuum and integrate entire database and server configurations, which would have rendered OCR and indexing unnecessary, had Nuix's staff (or any IT professional with big data recovery experience) been involved.

Months and months they have been sitting on this data.

The real issue is not the tax avoidance but the legal exploitation of low taxes in tax heavens which permit certain industries to save a lot of money. Tax avoidance is used a pretext to attempt the elimination of tax competition, i.e. to destroy legislations with low taxes.

ZIRP flushes out capital to seek yield from legal shelters.
The people (i.e the finance ministers) who use the pretext of tax avoidance never mention the following facts: (1) Because of no fixed income (zero interest) the tax avoidance business almost came to a standstill (2) The large estates are not created by (taxable) interest and dividend but by capital gains and capital gains are usually non taxable in the countries where most of Panama clients are residing.

Never mind the million of regular people they fucked over with zirp just trying to survive made to go on snap revenue streams.
Meanwhile, more just got pushed under the bus drivers in the swamp some contend.

As noted: I find the irony of each pointing dangerous tools at each other just as voting matters to the four different types of psychopaths

The comment as Americans have had about all they can take is saying 145 years ago they had a idea that it survived.

More to the point it was deliberately undertaken by certain governments to approach or to restore the post-war parity of
their currencies may convey some clarity.

Good luck with that idea since the problem of dropping seed corn as we have seen before has consequences.
Remember what Nixon and Khrushchev said in 1960 about the their grandchildren?
Yours will be communist slaves and mine will be free in Russia. It was on the black and white TV so google that.
Socialism indeed is a government brain drain disease for tax slaves.
For your polik Korrect following the asshole in front of you pulling the red or blue sled, us garden variety idiots still suppose it accurate

Locally, support the sheriff is about as far as I go these days. Ours is a damn straight shooter to date surrounded by well meaning sled dogs some consider true with crack and meth heads increasing and worse be released. I find the irony of those living behind a gate picking up corn comical saying do not let the door hit you in the arse on the way out deserving of the seal in the forehead since liberty is the only question.
I do find it accurate to convey a indeed well meaning Liberal conveyed the uneducation process of America and what it means going forward.
I would offer it means going backwards since they have no clue what forward means in a larger percentage of change thinking they are special snowflakes and we even pretend to care now paying for fetal debauchery's. Bad enough to target zealots with Triffin paradox taking the express lane out in life supported by frienemys.

Old enough to know better and young enough to pay attention goes without saying.

The issue was over what would back the US currency. The two options were: gold (wanted by the Goldbugs and William McKinley) and silver (wanted by the Silverites and Bryan). Unbacked paper (wanted by the Greenbacks) represented a third option.

If oil goes back to 26.00 well we will buy oil contracts, if not we will raise cash for now to find DCF operations.

This sums up the problem since we are all Keynasians now since the Smithsionian accord of dirty float.
In an increasingly integrated world economy, the currency rates impact any given country's economy through the trade balance. In this aspect, almost all currencies are managed since central banks or Governments intervene to influence the value of their currencies.
"Here is a example from the FT intellectual parrots"
"Credit systems are not "designed". They happen, congeal, converge, evolve, explore, test boundaries, etc etc, alongside and deeply entwined with various institutions and technologies. That is one of the many things the Austrians have never understood."

No you limeys and affable POMES have issues impossible to control since crack up booms are real and your lovely Whitehall study's.

A few facts from Michael Pento: According to the U.S. Census Bureau, about one in seven Americans (14.2 percent) live below the poverty line. Before Obama took office the rate was 12.5 percent.

Locally poverty is up as we have noted. As for Flint and Detroit and Lansing?

A Texas mom told Fox and Friends this morning that she pulled her two kids from an elementary school that banned parents from walking their children home from school. Bear Branch Elementary School, part of the Magnolia ISD, reportedly told parents that they could face a trespassing charge if they walk onto school grounds to pick up their children.

Still they look to the Republic as we know nothing is new under the sun.

What the Colorado river cannot supply guess where all the eyes turn to...
Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette wants answers after a Wisconsin community asked to divert more than 10 million gallons of water per day from the Great Lakes basin. The city wants to tap the source for drinking water.

Apr 07, 2016 3:30 PM Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette wants answers after a Wisconsin community asked to divert more than 10 million gallons of water per day from the Great Lakes basin. The city wants to tap the source for drinking water. Bullshit they are setting up shop against the private markets and who would not hedge since property rights will ensue anyways.

The Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, historically known as the Chicago Drainage Canal, is a 28 miles (45 km) long canal system that connects the Chicago River to the Des Plaines River. It reverses the direction of the Main Stem and the South Branch of the Chicago River, which now flows out of Lake Michigan rather than into it. The related Calumet-Saganashkee Channel does the same for the Calumet River a short distance to the south, joining the Chicago canal about half way along its route to the Des Plaines. The two provide the only navigation for ships between the Great Lakes Waterway and the Mississippi River system..

Whiskey is for drinking water is for wars.

“This is not a new idea and has surfaced as an option several times over the last few decades,” spokeswoman Shannon Breymaier said in a statement. “This administration has been presented with various options related to the possible privatization of the water and sewer system, but there are no plans to move forward with these possibilities at this time.”
Elsewhere, some Illinois towns face revolts from residents who fear turning their drinking water and sewer operations to a private company will result in steep rate increases and loss of local control. Since March of last year, four downstate communities — Chenoa, Monticello, Mount Vernon and O’Fallon — backed off plans to sell or lease their water operations.

In Arthur, a village of about 2,300 people near Champaign, residents voted March 15 against a plan to sell its public water and sewer system.

Illinois politicians collected about $400,000 in recent years from a pair of companies that dominate the controversial business of privatizing municipal water systems.

Since 2010, Pennsylvania-based Aqua America and New Jersey-based American Water Works, gave campaign contributions to Democratic and Republican legislators as well as local officials, Illinois State Board of Elections records show. House Speaker Michael Madigan (D-Chicago) and Senate Minority Leader Christine Radogno (R-Lemont) are among officials scoring sizable donations — $12,500 and $17,500 respectively.

past issues: For the facts we turn to The Chicago River: A Natural and Unnatural History by Libby Hill (2000). Hill informs us that sanitary facilities in Chicago were wholly inadequate in 1885: sewers emptied into the Chicago River; after heavy rains, runoff caused sewage to flow far out into the lake, the city's source of fresh water. A torrential storm on August 2 of that year dropped five and a half inches of rain on the city in 19 hours, which under other circumstances might have meant disaster. To the relief of all, however, nothing happened, possibly because winds were out of the northeast, which may have kept effluent from reaching the water intake two miles offshore. No cholera deaths were reported (the disease was unknown in Chicago after the 1860s), and the typhoid rate for the year was only slightly above average. Typhoid deaths during the 1880s never exceeded 1,000, peaking in 1891 at 1,700. (Alarmed by the 1885 close call, the city undertook the massive canal project that permanently reversed the flow of the river and ended the typhoid threat.)

Liberals will be annihilated as the 2031 window is best guess as the enclaves take over.

The man of the future will be of mixed race. The races and classes of today will gradually disappear due to the elimination of space, time, and prejudice. The Eurasian-negroid race of the future, similar in appearance to the Ancient Egyptians, will replace the diversity of peoples and the diversity of individuals. Instead of destroying European Judaism, Europe, against her will, refined and educated this people, driving them to their future status as a leading nation through this artificial evolutionary process. It’s not surprising that the people that escaped from the Ghetto-Prison, became the spiritual nobility of Europe. Thus, the compassionate care given by Europe created a new breed of aristocrats. This happened when the European feudal aristocracy crashed because of the emancipation of the Jews [due to the actions taken by the French Revolution]
Although no textbook mentions Kalergi, his ideas are the guiding principles of the European Union. The belief that the peoples of Europe should be mixed with Africans and Asians, to destroy our identity and create a single mestizo race, is the basis of all community policies that aim to protect minorities. Not for humanitarian reasons, but because of the directives issued by the ruthless Regime that machinates the greatest genocide in history. The Coudenhove-Kalergi European Prize is awarded every two years to Europeans who have excelled in promoting this criminal plan. Among those awarded with such a prize are Angela Merkel and Herman Van Rompuy.
The incitement to genocide, is also the basis of the constant appeals of the United Nations, that demands we accept millions of immigrants to help with the low birth rates of the EU. According to a report published on January 2000 in «Population division» Review of the United Nations in New York, under the title “Immigration replacement: A solution to declining and aging population,” Europe will need by 2025 159,000,000 migrants.

In his book «Praktischer Idealismus», Kalergi indicates that the residents of the future “United States of Europe” will not be the People of the Old Continent, but a kind of sub-humans, products of miscegenation. He clearly states that the peoples of Europe should interbreed with Asians and colored races, thus creating a multinational flock with no quality and easily controlled by the ruling elite.

Sticky wages: Gottfried Haberler asked the same question in his 1937 book, Prosperity and Depression. The answer is that during the cheap-credit boom, there is a net increase in labor demand. And because of the low interest rate, many workers are bid away from jobs in the late stages of production and into jobs in the early stages. During the downturn, however, there is a net reduction in labor demand. As liquidation gets underway, workers are released from the higher stages and (eventually) reabsorbed elsewhere in the economy.

“In God we trust; all others must bring data.” W. Edwards Deming

His 14 Points for Management, from Out of the Crisis:
1.Create constancy of purpose toward improvement of product and service, with the aim to become competitive and stay in business, and to provide jobs.
2.Adopt the new philosophy. We are in a new economic age. Western management must awaken to the challenge, must learn their responsibilities, and take on leadership for change.
3.Cease dependence on inspection to achieve quality. Eliminate the need for inspection on a mass basis by building quality into the product in the first place.
4.End the practice of awarding business on the basis of price tag. Instead, minimize total cost. Move towards a single supplier for any one item, on a long-term relationship of loyalty and trust.
5.Improve constantly and forever the system of production and service, to improve quality and productivity, and thus constantly decrease cost.
6.Institute training on the job.
7.Institute leadership. The aim of supervision should be to help people and machines and gadgets to do a better job. Supervision of management is in need of overhaul, as well as supervision of production workers.
8.Drive out fear, so that everyone may work effectively for the company.
9.Break down barriers between departments. People in research, design, sales, and production must work as a team, to foresee problems of production and in use that may be encountered with the product or service.
10.Eliminate slogans, exhortations, and targets for the work force asking for zero defects and new levels of productivity. Such exhortations only create adversarial relationships, as the bulk of the causes of low quality and low productivity belong to the system and thus lie beyond the power of the work force.
11.a.) Eliminate work standards (quotas) on the factory floor. Substitute leadership. b.) Eliminate management by objective. Eliminate management by numbers, numerical goals. Substitute workmanship.
12.a.) Remove barriers that rob the hourly worker of his right to pride of workmanship. The responsibility of supervisors must be changed from sheer numbers to quality. b.) Remove barriers that rob people in management and in engineering of their right to pride of workmanship. This means, inter alia, abolishment of the annual or merit rating and of management by objective.
13.Institute a vigorous program of education and self-improvement.
14.Put everyone in the company to work to accomplish the transformation. The transformation is everyone’s work. “Massive training is required to instill the courage to break with tradition. Every activity and every job is a part of the process.”

Jidoka is a quality concept that means "stop everything" whenever an error occurs. It is controlling quality at the source. Instead of using inspectors to find problems someone else created, the worker is his own inspector, responsible for his/her own quality. When an error or defect is discovered, the worker has the authority and the responsibility to halt the production process. Sogo shosha groups are sufficiently diversified to withstand periodic downturns.

At the annual banking structure and competition conference of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago in May 1987, the buzzword heard in the corridors and used by many of the speakers was “that which can be securitized, will be securitized.”

As we watch and noted days ago Higg and conveyed Jevons paradox of doing more with less and the apparent sticky wage conversation since
the inception of 1993 forumed with the current new application of the same playbook is not trended properly to varying discussions
as formentioned with the current kuznet cycle for the simple sake of conveyance. Its there and plain to see even before Alfred Marshall
and David Hume to Mikolaj Kopernik writings on fiat. The malady is the Cambridge Approach as it took a slightly different approach to the quantity theory, focusing on money demand instead of money supply. They argued that a certain portion of the money supply will not be used for transactions; instead, it will be held for the convenience and security of having cash on hand. This covers the thesis plan from 1983 as forumed already. The annual liquidation rate of savers. No accidents, and they already knew from 1983 of the CCI program policy framework that existed and before also. As we noted very early and correctly here the LSE replacement announced recently. Dr. Quigley knew this also as He was sent to be "confirmed". The Fabian simple resolve of over time...... As we also say they will be known by the fruit they bear of “social silences” or to unfold the thought further... Hume had to tone the message but others understood the reason why they had to convey reason in the nature of the day. "The rules of morality are not the conclusions of our reason." - David Hume

Notes: Reading today that Lincoln called for “malice toward none, charity for all.” we are past contempt in the actual eyes of history.
Lincoln called America “the last best hope of man on earth.” Yet in our time, in our land as conveyed, a thousand unborn children are beheaded daily by an organization that is sheltered and funded by our own taxes. This dread toll deprives our people of genius and industry. Every child born in America has the potential to earn a million dollars. We know the truth about these unborn millions. “Ultrasound has made it impossible to deny that that thing in the womb is a human being,” writes Time magazine’s Joe Klein. Indeed this nation has drank the bitter drink. I do not consider myself an American they can recognize. We are captives in a fallen land. As warned we pay tribute to what's on the coin only as warned. I have no excuse since we already know what price has already been paid on that damn old tree as written and the clinics they call rights on our capital stolen to support it.

As we watch and noted days ago Higg and conveyed Jevons paradox of doing more with less and the apparent sticky wage conversation...

The Archdruid is back and in good form:

Here, though, we’re in territory that has been well mapped out in advance by one of the historians who have helped guide the project of this blog since its inception. In his magisterial twelve-volume A Study of History, Arnold Toynbee explored in unforgiving detail the processes by which societies fail. Some civilizations, he notes, are overwhelmed by forces outside their control, but this isn’t the usual cause of death marked on history’s obituaries. Far more often than not, rather, societies that go skidding down the well-worn route marked “Decline and Fall” still have plenty of resources available to meet the crises that overwhelm them and plenty of options that could have saved the day—but those resources aren’t put to constructive use and those options never get considered.

This happens, in turn, because the political elites of those failed societies lose the ability to notice that the policies they want to follow don’t happen to work. The leadership of a rising civilization pays close attention to the outcomes of its policies and discards those that don’t work. The leadership of a falling civilization prefers to redefine “success” as “following the approved policies” rather than “yielding the preferred outcomes,” and concentrates on insulating itself from the consequences of its mistakes rather than recognizing the mistakes and dealing with their consequences. The lessons of failure are never learned, and so the costs of failure mount up until they can no longer be ignored.

This is where Peggy Noonan’s division of the current population into “protected” and “unprotected” classes has something useful to offer. Members of the protected class—in today’s America, as already noted, this is above all the more affluent half or so of the salary class—live within a bubble that screens them from any contact with the increasingly impoverished and immiserated majority. As far as they can see, everything’s fine; all their friends are prospering, and so are they; spin-doctored news stories and carefully massaged statistics churned out by government offices insist that nothing could possibly be wrong. They go from gated residential community to office tower to exclusive restaurant to high-end resort and back again, and the thought that it might be useful once in a while to step outside the bubble and go see what conditions are like in the rest of the country would scare the bejesus out of them if it ever occurred to them at all.

In a rising civilization, as Toynbee points out, the political elite wins the loyalty and respect of the rest of the population by recognizing problems and then solving them. In a falling civilization, by contrast, the political elite forfeits the loyalty and respect of the rest of the population by creating problems and then ignoring them. That’s what lies behind the crisis of legitimacy that occurs so often in the twilight years of a society in decline—and that, in turn, is the deeper phenomenon that lies behind the meteoric rise of Donald Trump. If a society’s officially sanctioned leaders can’t lead, won’t follow, and aren’t willing to get out of the way, sooner or later people are going to start looking for a way to shove them through history’s exit turnstile, by whatever means turn out to be necessary.

Thus if Trump loses the election in November, that doesn’t mean that the threat to the status quo is over—far from it. If Hillary Clinton becomes president, we can count on four more years of the same failed and feckless policies, which she’s backed to the hilt throughout her political career, and thus four more years in which millions of Americans outside the narrow circle of affluence will be driven deeper into poverty and misery, while being told by the grinning scarecrows of officialdom that everything is just fine. That’s not a recipe for social stability; those who make peaceful change impossible, it’s been pointed out, make violent change inevitable. What’s more, Trump has already shown every ambitious demagogue in the country exactly how to build a mass following, and he’s also shown a great many wage-earning Americans that there can be alternatives to an intolerable status quo.

No matter how loudly today’s establishment insists that the policies it favors are the only thinkable options, the spiraling failure of those policies, and the appalling costs they impose on people outside the bubble of privilege, guarantee that sooner or later the unthinkable will become the inescapable. That’s the real news of this election season: the end of ordinary politics, and the first stirrings of an era of convulsive change that will leave little of today’s conventional wisdom intact.
