The Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, one of the world's most important resources when it comes to digging up information about #kleptocrats all over the world, lost 29% of its budget due to #ElonMusk's attacks on #USAID .
There are few better causes you could donate to where your money would go anywhere near as far as it would with OCCRP (journalists in Moldova are kinda cheap in the scheme of things).

From 2017: #BernieSanders: We must end #GlobalOligarchy
"Greed is their religion."
By Bernie Sanders, November 13, 2017
"One of the major, untold stories of our time is the rapid movement toward global #oligarchy, in which just a handful of# billionaires now own and control a significant part of the world economy [and the US government in January 2025].
"Here in the United States, the top one-tenth of 1% owns almost as much wealth as the bottom 90%. Incredibly, according to a recent report from the Institute for Policy Studies, three of the richest people in America – #BillGates, #JeffBezos and #WarrenBuffett – now own more wealth than bottom 160 million people in our country.
"But this is clearly not just an American issue. It is a global issue. While millions of people throughout the world live in dire poverty, without clean drinking water, adequate health care, decent housing, or education for their kids, the six wealthiest people in the world as ranked by Forbes Magazine own more wealth, according to Oxfam, than the bottom half of the world’s population, 3.6 billion people.
"This massive level of wealth and income inequality, and the political power associated with that wealth, is an issue that cannot continue be ignored. We must fight back.
"Thanks to the so-called #ParadisePapers, a trove of millions of documents analyzed by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (#ICIJ) and its collaborating news outlets, we now have a better understanding of how the largest corporations and wealthiest people in the world avoid paying their taxes and hide ownership of assets. Needless to say, these billionaires are all strong supporters of our military, our veterans, our infrastructure, our schools and other government services. They would just prefer that you pay for those activities, not them.
"According to the ICIJ’s investigative reporting, the Americans listed as having offshore accounts in the Paradise Papers, (which have not been independently reviewed by CNN), are a who’s who of billionaires, some of whom are the very same officials who have led the effort to promote the Republican tax plan, which would provide even more tax-avoiding opportunities to the very rich.
"Even before these revelations, we knew that #TaxDodging by the #wealthy and large #corporations, not just in the US but globally, was taking place on a massive scale. In 2012, the Tax Justice Network, a British advocacy group, estimated that at least $21 trillion was stashed in offshore tax havens around the world. In other words, while governments enact austerity budgets, which lower the standard of living of working people, the super-rich avoid their taxes.
"According to Berkeley economist Gabriel Zucman, individuals in the US are avoiding $36 billion through offshore tax schemes and US corporations are avoiding more than $130 billion through these schemes. The situation has become so absurd that one five-story office building in the #Caymans is now the 'home' of nearly 20,000 corporations – and that is just one of many tax havens operating across the globe.
"The essence of oligarchy is that the #BillionaireClass is never satisfied with what they have. They want more, more and more – no matter what impact their efforts have on working people, the elderly, children, the sick and the poor. Greed is their religion. While the oligarchs are avoiding their taxes, Trump and his Republican colleagues, ostensibly in order to save federal dollars, have been trying to throw tens of millions of Americans off of their health insurance, and make massive cuts in education, nutrition assistance and affordable housing.
"As a candidate for president, Trump promised that he would stand up for the working class of this country. Needless to say, that was a lie. Almost half of the benefits in the Trump/Republican tax plan would go to the top 1%, according to the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities. Additionally, they want to lower the corporate tax rate from 35% to 20%, even though in 2012 one out of every five large, profitable corporations in the US paid no federal income taxes at all and between 2008 and 2015, 18 corporations had a tax rate lower than 0%.
"Republicans also want to make it easier for companies to shelter their profits overseas and pay zero taxes. The 'territorial tax system' they are proposing, which means companies would be taxed only on income earned within our country’s borders, would exempt the offshore profits of American corporations from US taxes and allow for a one-time 12% tax on their offshore cash profits when brought back into the United States.

"Meanwhile, while the wealthy and large corporations are receiving huge tax breaks, nearly half of middle-class families would actually see their taxes go up by the end of the decade by eliminating deductions for medical expenses, student loan interest rates, state and local income and sales taxes, and the cost of health insurance for the self-employed.
"The Paradise Papers make it clearer than ever that we need, in the United States and throughout the world, a tax system which is fair, progressive and transparent.
"Now is the time, in the United States and internationally, for people to come together to take on the greed of the oligarchs. We can and must create a global economy that works for all, not just a handful of billionaires."

> How Western #oil_companies bet on Kazakhstan, turned a blind eye to #corruption risks — and ended up at the mercy of Vladimir Putin.
#ICIJ (International Consortium of Investigative Journalists) presents their investigation CASPIAN CABALS
"Caspian Cabals exposes how Western companies desperate for new oil reserves catered to Russian power, enriching Putin cronies and Kazakh elites and ignoring corruption risks to keep the oil moving."

Vladimir Putin is fighting a silent power battle over a crucial oil pipeline between Russia and Kazakhstan. To keep oil supplies flowing, western oil giants such as Shell bowed to Russia’s corrupt demands. They still lost the battle. #CaspianCabals #ICIJ

Vladimir Poetin voert een stille machtsstrijd om een cruciale oliepijpleiding tussen Rusland en Kazachstan. Om te voorkomen dat de oliestroom stokt, gaan westerse oliereuzen zoals Shell mee in de corrupte eisen van Rusland. Toch verliezen ze de strijd. #CaspianCabals #ICIJ https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2024/11/22/de-stille-strijd-tussen-poetin-en-het-westen-over-een-cruciale-oliepijpleiding-a4873801?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon&utm_term=20241122

The most prestigious press in America - Washington Post and New York Times - can’t seem to distinguish between the threat to democracy of a candidate who proclaims that 2024 will be the last elections ever, vowing to oppress political opponents, and a woman’s laughter.

"Ten years after an ICIJ exposé, Danish authorities charge Nordea bank with money laundering violations
In 2013, ICIJ media partner Politiken revealed that Russian nationals and others used the services of Nordea’s Copenhagen branch to maintain about 100 offshore companies."
Panama Papers, anyone remembers that scandal? Mossack Fonseca ring a bell?
To me, Panama seems rampant with #corruption?
“From a global perspective, it shows the difficulty of these cases and the necessity for the prosecution to have more resources — not just economic, but also human resources and technical know-how,”

@ethanOS TBH, there are many reasons to hate and despise #Assange and #WikiLeaks...
- Case in point: No news anchor will expose themselves to such threats...
Or as Jacob #Appelbaum (he's an asshole too but that doesn't make the quote less true) once said: 'with #MassSurveillance it's not about what you do today but about what can be collected to use against you once you become a problem, and weaponize that for blackmail!'
Either way, WikiLeaks clenching on Assange turned them into "Julian's Org" and that made them not just unbearably cringe but also sidetracked them from doing actual #Journalism...
- Whether they did so in "good faith" or being played as useful idiots is irrelevant for the results...
Fortunately, they don't have any #monopoly and @ddosecrets and #ICIJ as well as IU sprung up...

Kind reminder că Robert Negoiță a apărut în cea mai mare scurgere de date despre companii off-shore folosite în scop infracțional de până acum.
Nu știu dacă sunt așa mulți oameni pe Fedivers pentru care este important să vadă asta, dar totuși țin să vă amintesc de faptul că numele lui #RobertNegoiță apare alături de multe alte nume controversate cum este fostul premier britanic #TonyBlair, #VladimirPutin sau șefi de stat și de guvern din Iordania, Kenya, Ecuador sau Cehia, precum și oameni de afaceri influenți într-o listă nu prea fericită. Este vorba despre #PandoraPapers, o colecție de documente de vreo 2,94 TB pusă cap la cap de jurnaliștii #ICIJ în anul 2021, arătând cum toți oamenii de mai sus s-au folosit de aceste firme din paradisuri fiscale pentru a spăla bani publici sau pentru a comite evaziune fiscală. Ca să vă faceți o idee despre cât de mare e colecția aceasta de documente, vă las și următoarea imagine mai jos.
Dintre toate acestea, nu am descoperit vreun singur alt politician de la noi din țară care să se afle măcar pe una din acele liste. Felicitări, Robert Negoiță - premiu'-ntâi cu coroniță! 👑👑👑
