the panama papers: the biggest secret data leak in history (a concise masterpost)

so what is it?

they are leaked documents that contain information from Panama based Mossack Fonseca, “a law firm that specializes in the creation of off shore accounts designed to hide wealth in tiny island tax havens”

this video sums up what is in the documents (tw: sex slavery, death)

which news outlets are reporting the information?

full list here

The Guardian has a series of very good explanations and in depth articles

Reddit is “doing their thing” and has a detailed live thread

the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung that first exposed the leak

wait, okay, so how is the data leak important?

mostly because it incriminates some of the world’s top politicians and key wealthy individuals as they engage in off-shore laundering, tax evasion, and other crimes (x) 

Vladimir Putin 

Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson, prime minister of Iceland

the implications of his activities 

Petro Poroshenko, president of Ukraine 

a FIFA ethics committee member (inc. Lionel Messi) 

HRH Prince Salman, King of Saudi Arabia

numerous relatives and associates of political leaders 

and other very important people

are there any *insert notable Americans/Canadians/(citizens of your country)* involved?

as of now, only 149 documents have been released (publicly) out of 11.5 Million, so it’s guaranteed that more incriminating evidence will surface

“editor of Süddeutsche Zeitung responded to the lack of U.S. individuals in the documents, saying “Just wait for what is coming next"” (x)

CLOSING 2015 One always has to know when a stage comes to an end. If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through. Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters – whatever name we give it, what matters is to leave in the past the moments of life that have finished. Did you lose your job? Has a loving relationship come to an end? Did you leave your parents’ house? Gone to live abroad? Has a long-lasting friendship ended all of a sudden? You can spend a long time wondering why this has happened. You can tell yourself you won’t take another step until you find out why certain things that were so important and so solid in your life have turned into dust, just like that. But such an attitude will be awfully stressing for everyone involved: your parents, your husband or wife, your friends, your children, your sister. Everyone is finishing chapters, turning over new leaves, getting on with life, and they will all feel bad seeing you at a standstill. Things pass, and the best we can do is to let them really go away. That is why it is so important (however painful it may be!) to destroy souvenirs, move, give lots of things away to orphanages, sell or donate the books you have at home. Everything in this visible world is a manifestation of the invisible world, of what is going on in our hearts – and getting rid of certain memories also means making some room for other memories to take their place. Let things go. Release them. Detach yourself from them. Nobody plays this life with marked cards, so sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. Do not expect anything in return, do not expect your efforts to be appreciated, your genius to be discovered, your love to be understood. Stop turning on your emotional television to watch the same program over and over again, the one that shows how much you suffered from a certain loss: that is only poisoning you, nothing else. Nothing is more dangerous than not accepting love relationships that are broken off, work that is promised but there is no starting date, decisions that are always put off waiting for the “ideal moment.” Before a new chapter is begun, the old one has to be finished: tell yourself that what has passed will never come back. Remember that there was a time when you could live without that thing or that person – nothing is irreplaceable, a habit is not a need. This may sound so obvious, it may even be difficult, but it is very important. Closing cycles. Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because that no longer fits your life. Shut the door, change the record, clean the house, shake off the dust. Stop being who you were, and change into who you are. Paulo Coelho

I don't think a culture of mastery helps innovation blossom. A culture of try, of not being afraid of failure and to see failure as part of success, a discipline of curiosity, and the courage to ask why and why not. These values are what will inspire innovation. Thereafter it's the application of mastery. But if you don't have this mindset, then mastery merely means being good at what you do.

You know when I said I knew little about love? That wasn’t true. I know a lot about love. I’ve seen it, centuries and centuries of it, and it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable.
