[Update 8]
If you want to know why the globalist intelligence services released the Panama Papers, ponder this picture…
…I found it on the Putin-worshipping alt-media site SOTT.net. If you place your cursor on the thumbnail of this image found on their main page, it says “Putin eye hurricane.” Note how he is surrounded by a divine glow that seems to shield him from the violence and corruption swirling around him. Such messianic imagery is meant to build up his cult of personality in preparation for what comes in September.
So how does this relate to the Panama Papers, you ask?
The public release of the Panama Papers is a limited hangout operation. In such an operation, the globalist intelligence services leak a carefully selected mass of secret information designed to lead the public to conclusions the globalists want them to arrive at. In this particular case, they want the public to see…
> the corrupt and wealthy using loopholes in the current international financial structure to hide ill-gotten money and avoid taxes [This is intended to generate support for the coming multilateral financial system which was supposedly built to stop such hijinks, but which was actually built to more-closely monitor and control the public.]
…and…
> the West attempting to unjustly smear Vladimir Putin. [This allows Putin to point out that his name was never mentioned in the Papers, and that although he may be surrounded by the corruption of the Russian political system, he somehow rises above it. The Western release of the Panama Papers also provides the pretext for the Eastern side to release secret information that names specific corrupt figures in the West. This contrived East/West “truth war” will culminate in a massive truth bomb that gets dropped on Obama sometime between now and the end of September.]
[Update 8A – 10 April 2016]
I haven’t been in the mood to write for the past few days, and now I’m glad I waited. A reader sent me a link to an alt-media propaganda piece that will save me some writing. It is this article (boxed in red)…
…which appears on the faux-truther propaganda mill New Eastern Outlook (NEO), which itself is associated with globalist disinfo doofus Gordon Duff.
The article does a good job laying out the faux-truther spin on the Panama Papers…
“And that is exactly what is happening with the appearance simultaneously in all the western media, on Sunday, April 3 of a story about what are called the Panama Papers. The story attributed to a shadowy organisation called the International Coalition of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) has all the hallmarks of an operation by western secret services to attempt to subvert targeted governments. The primary target is of course President Putin in order to influence the coming elections and to further attempt to portray him in the eyes of the peoples of the west as a criminal…
The immediate positioning of President Putin as the principal target of this story, despite the fact he is not mentioned in the documents, coupled with the timing of the story make a reasonable observer conclude that this information was not released just to inform the public but to subvert and discredit chosen governments, that is, it is a propaganda operation, using information that will get the attention of the masses.”
So according to the faux-truthers over on NEO, the Panama Papers release was a Western attack on Vladimir Putin. Such spin is to be expected from them considering that their site is devoted to bashing the decoy Western NWO and promoting the real Eastern NWO…
…Link. To learn more about the fake conflict between the Western “unipolar” NWO and the Eastern “multipolar” NWO, read Understanding the NWO Strategy.
In reality, the “western” secret services are no different from the “eastern” secret services. If you go to the very top of any of these hierarchical letter agencies, you will find a globalist running it. The world’s major security services are all franchises of the globalist conglomerate, and they are all cooperating to bring in the New World Order.

Now that we’ve looked at the alt-media spin of the Panama Papers release, let’s look at some spin coming out of the mainstream Brookings Institution…
…Link
The article makes the suggestion that it may have been the Russians who passed the Papers to the Western press, and it foreshadows the possibility that damning information about key Western leaders will arise in the months ahead. Here is an excerpt…
>>> If “we” (in the United States or the West) released these documents, the motive would apparently be to embarrass Putin. This is part of the fantasy that we can defeat Putin in an information war. If that was the motive, the result is pathetic: No real damage is being done to Putin, but there is collateral damage to U.S. allies.
If the Russians did it, a good motive might be to deflect the West’s campaign against Putin’s corruption. But as I’ve explained, any actual reputational damage to Putin or Russia caused by the Panama Papers is in fact pretty trivial. For that cheap price, the Russians would have 1) exposed corrupt politicians everywhere, including in “model” Western democracies, and 2) fomented genuine destabilization in some Western countries. What I wonder, then: Is it a set-up? The Russians threw out the bait, and the United States gobbled it down. The Panama Paper stories run off Putin like water off a duck’s back. But they have a negative impact on Western stability…
If the Russians are behind the Panama Papers, we know two things and both come back to Putin personally: First, it is an operation run by RFM, which means it’s run by Putin; second, it’s ultimately about blackmail. That means the real story lies in the information being concealed, not revealed. You reveal secrets in order to destroy; conceal in order to control. Putin is not a destroyer. He’s a controller. <<<
Although the NEO and Brookings articles offer differing (and naive) suggestions on who leaked the Papers, take note of what they agree on:
> They agree that the Panama Papers were used by the Western press to make a ham-fisted attack upon Putin’s reputation.
> They agree that there is a real information war — and therefore a real geopolitical conflict — between the West and the East.
> Their authors agree that Vladimir Putin is a real threat to the Western NWO.
On that last point, take a look at the promotional passages offered for a Putin biography written by the Brookings author…
…From the Brookings Institution Press
The NEO and Brookings agree on these points because both outfits work for the globalists, so both are selling the same fundamental perceptions to the public.
Let’s also take note of something I found in the Amazon write up for the Brookings book…
…From Amazon.com
Remembering my previous writings on Mr. Putin, what figure would go to “extraordinary lengths throughout his life to conceal who he really is?” I can think of two figures…
1) The Messiah, who has hid his presence while he worked in the world to prevent the triumph of the “Satanic” Western NWO.
2) The Antichrist, who has hid his presence so he can establish his own UN-based “thousand year kingdom” in place of “Christ’s Millennial Kingdom.”
Putin is, of course, both of these figures — or so the globalists would have you believe.

[Update 8C – 11 April 2016]
It was back when I was writing Vladimir Putin: The mobster who would be the globalist Messiah that I noticed the coordinated effort to portray Putin as the “eye of the hurricane.” As I laid out in the entry, Putin entered St. Petersburg politics while he was still in the KGB, and evidently he was assigned to take over the city government on their behalf.
A KGB-friendly local politician named Anatoly Sobchak brought him into the St. Petersburg government, whereupon this happened…
…From Putin: Russia’s Choice by Richard Sakwa
Now if you are a criminal gang taking over a city, what are two things you want to control? That would be law enforcement and the media — the ones who could stop you — right? And those are precisely the things Putin went on to control. Also note how Sobchak shied away from signing any document that wasn’t pre-approved by Putin. This means that Sobchack wouldn’t make a move without it first being okayed by the KGB/FSB mafia.
So what was the result of this? Sakwa continues…
After noting that crime in St. Petersburg skyrocketed after Putin made the scene, Sakwa, who is an Establishment academic belonging to The Royal Institute of International Affairs, goes on to imply that Putin himself is clean and is a “strong, effective and pragmatic leader.” So crime followed Putin in, yet Putin is portrayed as being personally untouched by it. In other words, he was the “eye of the corruption hurricane.”
We find another example of the effort to portray Putin as incorruptible in Boris Berezovsky’s remarks to another Putin biographer, Masha Gessen…
>>> Foremost in the dwindling circle of Yeltsin’s allies and supporters known as ‘the family’ was the oligarch Boris Berezovsky; indeed, many believed Berezovsky to be the real power behind Yeltsin’s throne. Berezovsky knew Putin from the early 1990s in St Petersburg when, in the first flush of buccaneering capitalism, Berezovsky was aiming to expand his car dealership and Putin was a minor city bureaucrat.
Putin arranged for Berezovsky to open a service station in the city, and declined to take a bribe. ‘He was the first bureaucrat who did not take bribes,’ Berezovsky told Gessen. ‘Seriously. It made a huge impression on me.’
Berezovsky began to vigorously promote Putin, among ‘the family’ and to Yeltsin himself. He would remember Yeltsin’s reaction on meeting Putin: ‘He seems all right,’ the president said of his putative successor, ‘but he’s kind of small.’ In August 1999 Yeltsin appointed Putin prime minister. – From The Telegraph <<<
Although Berezovsky was being somewhat truthful in admitting he was among those who helped Putin take power, the reason he gives for doing so is ludicrously absurd. Do you really think Berezovsky went to Yeltsin and said, “I ran across this bureaucrat in St. Petersburg who didn’t take a bribe, and I found it impressive. Let’s make him President of Russia”? Do you really think a criminal oligarch like Berezovsky would even want an incorruptible man in the Russian Presidency? It’s totally ridiculous. The real reason Berezovsky talked about Putin rejecting a bribe was to help establish Putin’s bona fides as a lone incorruptible island amidst a sea of corruption.
So why are the globalists doing this – why are they trying to make Putin look like the “eye of the hurricane” who is untouched by the corruption swirling about him? This question can be answered with another question: How can you take a regular person with a sordid history like Putin and raise him up as a figure of religious reverence?
If you wanted to make Putin look like a Messiah, you’d tell people something like this…
“This world is corrupt, especially in the halls of international power. So the Messiah had to work with the corrupt in order to effect the changes he was endeavoring to make in this world. In doing so, he artfully used their own corruption against them while doing his best to maintain his purity of spirit. This world being what it is, it was impossible for him to do such work and remain totally untouched by sin, so he repented of the sins he couldn’t avoid and his Father washed him clean.”
So with such a narrative, you explain away his past to the gullible religious types. Then, all you have to do is fake his assassination and resurrection to raise him to divinity.
With love…
