Panama Papers Whats THAT?
David Cameron: blame me for mishandling Panama Papers news
David Cameron has said he must take the blame for the way Downing Street handled revelations about his interest in his late father’s offshore investment fund, and suggested he will imminently publish details of his personal tax affairs.
Addressing the Conservative party spring forum, the prime minister admitted it had “not been a great week”, to laughter from the gathered supporters.
Cameron said he would publish details of his tax return “later on” as he attempted to assuage calls for further transparency about his financial dealings. http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/apr/09/david-cameron-to-launch-local-election-campaign-as-panama-papers-row-rumbles-on

Instead of taking responsibility -like David Cameron - Xi Jinping blamed and arrested his brother-in-law. How long does it take to discover your own brother-in-law is "corrupt" if you are the President AND Chairman of the Communist Party in China?
The Panama Papers are super awkward for Beijing
The Panama Papers, a massive report that claims to document shady business dealings by a who’s who of the global elite, landed in China on a national holiday, presenting the authorities with an interesting, probably vexing, question: how to scrub the Web of the juicy-but-as-yet-unconfirmed disclosures about politically connected Chinese?
The findings -- the result of a year-long collaboration between a German newspaper, Süddeutsche Zeitung, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists and more than 100 media outlets -- set out to expose “a cast of characters who use offshore companies to facilitate bribery, arms deals, tax evasion and drug trafficking."
One of the people mentioned in the report is Deng Jiagui, the brother-in-law of China’s current president, Xi Jinping. Another is Li Xiaolin, the tycoon daughter of China’s former premier, Li Peng. It lists Hong Kong as a source of key “active intermediaries” in the secretive work.

Panama Papers[youbetcha, more more more problems for Xi, as video evidence indicates, several days before the "Panama Papers were released, I bought a Panama Jack shirt, along with an official CBS jacket at a second-hand store. I'm about to go shopping again...]

Let's bitch about the NSA and FBI for eavesdropping on our email, while China "SCRUBS THE WEB" by changing online content, while cyber-attacking all Internet Service Providers, Google and other search engines. Read um and weep [IT is a full house]...
