Corruption on a grand scale.

The 11 and a half million leaked documents from Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca have proven, once again, what we have already known for some time – that the ‘offshore world’ of tax havens is a den of money laundering and tax evasion right at the heart of the global financial system.
Western media to twist the revelations into a story about the ‘corruption’ of official enemies – North Korea, Syria, China and, of course, Putin,but frugal importance to EU countries,  Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa,and  Malaysia,Indonesia, Philippine & other  South Asian Countries.

Dear Friend,It’s all over the news – corruption on a grand scale. With a trillion dollars leaving developing countries through a web of corrupt activity every year, this scandal keeps people trapped in poverty. But only because we allow it to happen.
If you’ve had enough, join me in calling for a new Fair Play Standard – a set of concrete measures for greater transparency – that could crush corruption once and for all.
Trillion Dollar Scandal - sign the petition
The petition reads:
Dear World Leaders,
Please sign up to a Fair Play Standard – a set of concrete measures for greater transparency that will help stop the dodgy dealings that keeps people trapped in poverty – and end the Trillion Dollar Scandal.
World leaders are meeting in London next month for a crucial summit. We need them to take action to stop the dodgy dealings that keep people poor everywhere.
Thank you,

Save Dissent to Save Democracy   THE rising instances of physical violence and threats against political opponents and the inability to accept dissent must raise huge concerns amongst all of us who see democracy as perhaps the really stellar achievement since Independence. AAP’s attack on BJP headquarters and acts of arson committed under the very noses of their elite leadership; the attacks on Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in Gujarat in the last two days; the recent manhandling of the caretaker of journalist Siddharth Varadarajan’s house by some garden variety thugs; and the violence and threats meted out regularly to their political opponents by political parties is surely deplorable and condemnable. This is a fatally flawed trend which will destroy the very foundations of our democratic institutions if not pushed back with all the strength and condemnation that the civil society can mobilise. Replaying the past To begin with, it must be clarified that we should ...
