The REAL and lasting damage comes with NON-Journalists start cross referencing raw data and names with entirely
different lists and databases to make connections several levels beyond the obvious.
This story hasn't even begun yet, is my general take. The layers run like an onion for each just exposing another, so far.
We may tend to think 'The Swamp' is located in Washington DC where powerful officials deal with lobbyists with
the hopes they'll bring in financial benefits for themselves by succumbing to companies who attempt to influence
legislators.
It's true to some extent, but the real swamp is wider and really more of a web that links many countries to those
who dabble in political influence. The Panama Papers were revealed in 2016 and for a while in the mainstream
media, the stink of corruption was in everyone's nostrils.
Wrabbit 2000 was correct at the time of his writing, the story hadn't truly begun. But now it seems there's some
movement towards discovering the houses where vast amounts of money wee stored and laundered.
We're two years on and I'd wager we're still a long way off in realising how the Elite play by a different set of rules
to the ones they preach to the masses.
Quote:Deutsche Bank headquarters raided over money laundering.BBC:
'The Frankfurt headquarters of Deutsche Bank have been raided by prosecutors in a money laundering investigation.
Germany's public prosecutor alleged that two staff members have helped clients launder money from criminal activities.
Police cars were seen outside the tower blocks that house the headquarters of Germany's biggest bank.
Other Deutsche offices in the city were searched in an operation involving about 170 police and officials.
Prosecutors are looking into whether Deutsche Bank staff helped clients set up off-shore accounts to "transfer money
from criminal activities".
The investigation was sparked by revelations in the 2016 "Panama Papers" - an enormous amount of information leaked
from one of the world's most secretive companies, a Panamanian law firm called Mossack Fonseca.
Other banks, including Sweden's Nordea and Germany's Handelsbanken have been fined as a result of information
contained in the Panama Papers.
Deutsche Bank shares fell 3% after news of the raid emerged. The company confirmed that police had raided
several locations in Germany and that it was co-operating fully with the probe.
Paperwork and electronic documents were seized by officials during the raids on the bank's properties...'
As Bob Woodwood said about the Watergate scandal... "Everyone is involved" and somewhere there's the missing-link
that ties all the latest problems we're seeing in the media, together.
