The Panama Papers:

multum in parvo ...
Were you surprised by the revelations therein? I wasn't because fionachuckles probably counts me in as a conspiratard, too. I do admit that I still breathe, sometimes together, duh!
Many of the revelations concern other countries and we tend to focus more on our own navel lint. It's a good policy not to meddle much in other countries' affairs - there's also the shadow cast by our own law against that. There's a second installment promised to tear at the carapace of the U.S. eelites' suspicious activities so we'll see then.
It's not illegal to talk about other countries (remember our First Amendment rights?) even if their politics are affected by their leaders and spies who peek in here to see what the Americans are thinking and talking about. We hang out our dirty laundries, too, to air in the sun. Anyone who doesn't mind the yuck factor is welcomed to take a good look. I'm neither the state nor do I represent the state of the U.S.A.
There's been a lot of thinning out and a lot of people are busy helping Bernie.
I think for a lot of us the Panama Papers was a "dud" moment, too.
