This is not just to play the "Ain't It Awful" game. As Caitlyn Johnstone said in her writing at "3" below:
"......Class warfare has been happening for generations, and ordinary people are only just now waking up to that fact. It’s like someone’s been punching us in the face for years, and we’re only just beginning to realize 'Hey wait a minute, this guy’s not my friend! I’m in a fight! I’d better hit back or he’ll kill me!'---------------------------------------------
"I’m not advocating violence here, but I’m also not advocating allowing ourselves to be intimidated by these revelations into sitting down and shutting up. The Weinstein case has showed us exactly how to beat these bastards: enough women coming forward at once made his old tactics for silencing them ineffective. If enough people decide not to let a few hundred plutocrats rule their world anymore, we can shrug them off like a heavy coat on a warm day just by crippling the plutocracy’s propaganda machine and waking mainstream America up to their manipulations. They cannot rule without their consent-manufacturer. We can beat them without firing a shot......"

PARADISE COSTlove to you and your family,
The files set out the myriad ways in which companies and individuals can avoid tax using artificial structures. These schemes are legal if run correctly. But many appear not to be. And politicians around the world are beginning to ask whether they should be banned. Are they fair? Are they moral?" The Guardian on the story that had a lot of deep-pocketed people and corporations paying attention this weekend: What are the Paradise Papers and what do they tell us?
From Wilbur Ross[, friend of Trump, and Putin], to Yuri Milner, to Jared Kushner (surprise!), Digg has a good roundup for what you should know about the Paradise Papers.
