A huge leak of documents called the "Panama Papers" from a Panama off shore company shows all the people (politicians, celebs and criminals) that are hiding money. The interviews are really nice schadenfreude.

That might work for the first one or two murdered elite shitbags, but by that point the rest are tipped off that the rest of the world wants them to answer for their evil and they'll helicopter their asses out.

Or declare martial law, whichever is cheapest.

That's so pessimistic and for the wrong reasons. It's not that revolution is impossible, it is. It's just going to be followed by the reign of terror.

The pirate code is really more of a guideline, than actual rules.

In Dutch news: alcohol-induced comas ("comazuipen") in minors are on the rise. 27% more incidents in 2015 compared to 2014.

Turns out, raising the legal drinking age from 16 to 18 in 2014 didn't work out so well. :v: Source (Dutch)


e: vvv I checked that, but it really is more minors (that were minors before and after the law change) drinking themselves into a literal stupor.

Well, if nothing else, now you have more minors. So the same number of drunks now equals more drunk minors.

It's not even that they're rich. It's that almost all of the big names implicated are at the top of absolute, authoritarian regimes. "Oh sure, I'll hold an election to see if people want me to step aside for this... and 108% of eligible voters want me to still be president! But let's take it to trial. I find myself not guilty!"

The people who are implicated in western democracies are going to find themselves in at least a bit of trouble (hello, Iceland!) and I suspect that we're going to find a bunch of banks breaking financial regulations just like we do every couple of years. They'll get fined the equivalent of a few hours worth of profits. But even in the event that the someone is the US is caught red handed, the government still has to prove actual wrong doing and most of those people are rich enough to hire people who keep them just on the right side of the law.

Also, I'd bet that Jackie Chan's accounts are so that he can sneak his money out of China. There's been a lot of that going around lately...

That reminds me. A little ways off a highway in the Netherlands, there's this house:

It says "JESUS SAVES".

The father of 16 living there painted it on in reflective traffic paint and pointed powerful lights at it at night.

The local government started complaining because it didn't fit with the landscape and it distracted drivers. Citing freedom of religion and freedom of opinion, the house owner started a lengthy battle in court. Finally, two years later, after the high court stated that the local government was right, he was forced to change it.

The local government ordered the house owner to "get rid of the large, white letters on the roof". And that's what he did:

Later on, the government just got him to agree to make the letters orange and a bit smaller.

The same guy went on to put posters saying "JESUS LIVES" everywhere and to start a tiny political party that never got any seats.

Thanks for the info. I drive by there when I go visit my in-laws, I've always wondered if there was a connection between that roof and those posters.

Apparently China's economy is in the shitter and Chinese big-wigs are trying to keep anyone with money from taking it out of the country in order to help prop up their currency. Unsurprisingly, a lot of rich Chinese people are using every loophole they can to make foreign investments so they don't get stuck with devalued wealth.
