Panama Papers: When mainstream information wears the anti-establishment mask [View all]

From the beginning of the revelations through the Panama Papers leak, someone could sense that something was wrong. The first names that came out to publicity were related to countries like Russia, China, or other considered Western rivals, together with some "collateral damage", like the prime minister of Iceland, and the father of British prime minister Cameron.

Yet, even this latest "collateral damage" may not be considered accidental. Remember that the British citizens will vote in June referendum on whether the UK will remain part of the European Union or not. The leak concerning Cameron's father could be a warning shot for Cameron to take a clear position against Brexit. Concerning Iceland, all you have to do is to remember that it was the only country that put banksters in jail after the explosion of the latest big financial crisis.

The impressive amount of data in Panama Papers, indicates that the establishment, in global scale, attempts to create aggressively - faithful to the neoliberal tradition and methods - another monopoly in the field of the leak "industry".
