Many readers are already aware of the the new internet leak (aka info dump) from Wikileaks. This revelation is even more weighty than Edward Snowden's whistleblowing on NSA spying--no mean feat. The information revealed is sourced from Mossack-Fonseca, a single law firm based in one country, Panama--hence the title of this breaking story. Originally the leak was reported to have contained about 1+ terabytes of information. Now the count is 2.6 Terabytes (and possibly more as the investigation continues). That is one massive data collection, dwarfing the leaks from NSA spying revealed by Edward Snowden by a long shot. Deciphering this treasure trove of corruption is going to require years of sleuthing.

To see more about this interactive map will reveal the enormity and expansiveness of this collective web of laundering, tax evasion, and bribery, etc.

At present, with only a small proportion of information digested, the United States' contingent has been accountable for only a small portion of this financial collusion. Taken from the interactive map cited above, for the U.S.A. alone, the involvement alone consists of:
companies 3072
clients 441
beneficiaries 211
shareholders 3467

Compared to statistics of involvement of other countries, this is a middling participation.

Yet, many of you, like me, may be wondering if Bill and Hillary are involved in this. It would not be out of character for them to be so. Is the Clinton Global Initiative one of the beneficiaries? I don't know. Suspicions, yes but no facts yet. Of course if the Clintons were directly asked about their participation directly or indirectly in this massive offshore corruption, and if they answered truthfully (two big IFs) what would we learn? Pay to play? Arms deals? Foreign influence in domestic policies? This is a whole new battlefield--one which probably won't be fully contested for years. As many people of all political persuasions, highly distrust the Clintons (counting myself amongst them), the suspicion certainly is aroused. HRC's dealing with lobbyists reveals an inordinate amount of access that we peasants to do not possess. Perhaps this also suggests that "pot sweeteners" promoting such access has been hidden in offshore accounts.

I realize that the above comments seem like National Enquirer stuff as there is as yet no factual basis to tie the Clintons to any of this offshore malevolent hide-the-money scheme. But it does raise reasonable investigation of Clinton Global Initiative (a multi-billion dollar enterprise) or the Clintons-cum-entourage.

Time will tell. If HRC is elected President, the revelations will probably come too late to affect her candidacy.

Yes, this is very inflammatory post backed with little evidence. But the questions raised are worthy of consideration. I welcome comments.
