"Barrister Andrew Mitchell KC, an expert in financial services law, said Panorama's evidence showed the scheme was 'straightforward' tax evasion and 'it couldn't be more blatant'." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Fascinating story illustrating, yet again, that some of the most dubious things that wealthy people get away with rely on respectable law and professional services firms - in respectable places - knowingly assisting their dubious behaviour.

Latest in a three-year-long seam of reporting by the Guardian, The Bureau of Investigative Journalism, the BBC and international media partners. The project, known as Cyprus Confidential, was co-led by the ICIJ and Paper-Trail Media, based on documents first shared by Distributed Denial of Secrets.

I don't think Eric Schmitt's sharp razor-intellect and honed rhetoric will let him have much peace any time soon.

A Jack Smith meme highlighting how low the U.S. Senate has fallen when GOP senators become the butt of jokes for their inability to check basic facts as they kowtow to the desire of the rapist who is the current president of the United States to go after his perceived adversaries and punish them for doing their job and holding him accountable to the rule of law.

🚨 BREAKING: “We do not want a ceasefire,” the Kremlin says. Peskov has rejected Zelenskyy’s proposal for a 60-day ceasefire to allow elections in Ukraine. russia demands elections in Ukraine. Ukraine offers a way to hold them. russia refuses to stop shooting. See the contradiction?

Ukraine gets to decide whether Russian oil refineries keep running – so Zelenskyy sarcastically wondered why the US hasn't struck a deal with Ukraine to secure its diesel supply.

By the way, this is what happens when you concentrate website servers in data centres You become extremely vulnerable The strength of the original internet was distributed data with redundant paths Data centres concentrate them and centralise paths

Important watching for everyone and a good explainer of why what Zelensky just did is good for the whole world.

Definitely telling that Musky thinks that blowing up a Russian data center is “going too far” Fun fact: Far-Right engagement has tanked since this event. And that kinda says A LOT. Could be correlation sure… could be. But it sure is suspicious.

What other ideas will #Trump come up with for a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia?

A mutual agreement to stop striking Yandex data centers?
A mutual agreement to stop striking strategic bombers?
A mutual agreement to stop striking Kremlins and mausoleums?

I honestly want to see Ukraine destroy all those Russian data centres, just to see how many actual “patriots” are left in the US and UK 😂 It’s already got quieter…

If I understand what’s allegedly happening right now: Ukraine destroyed a bunch of Russian data centres and all the far-right bots on X immediately went silent and suddenly traditional Québécois folk songs started going viral? Do I have this basically correct?

Ukraine took out 2 huge data centers, and just like that--POOF! Pro-Trump/MAGA posts on US social media plummeted. Same happened to posts boosting Germany's far-right AfD.

The primary function of those Bots is to boost groups Putin believes will destabilize the west.

It can’t be understated as to how brilliant it was for President Zelenskyy and Ukraine to bomb Putin’s Russian data center bot farms right before the US midterms as well as how much damage that will do to propaganda messaging for fascist republicans going forward. A beautiful day for democracy.
