Selective Leaks Of The #PanamaPapers Create Huge Blackmail Potential – Moon of Alabama, Apr 4 2016
A real leak of data from a law firm in Panama would be very interesting. Many rich people and/or politicians hide money in shell companies that such firms in Panama provide. But the current heavily promoted "leak" of such data to several NATO supporting news organization and a US government financed "Non Government Organization" is just a lame attempt to smear some people the U.S. empire dislikes. It also creates a huge blackmail opportunity by NOT publishing certain data in return for this or that desired favor.
…
A year ago someone provided tons of data from Mossak Fonseca to a German newpaper, the Sueddeutsche Zeitung. The Munich daily is politically on the center right and staunchly pro NATO. It cooperates with the Guardian, the BBC, Le Monde, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists and some other news organization who are all known supporters of the establishment.
…
The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) is part of the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) which is financed by the U.S. government through USAID.
The "leak" is of data selected by U.S. friendly organization out of a database, likely obtained by U.S. secret services, which can be assumed to include much dirt about "western" persons and organizations.

A Young man named Pavel stood poised at the crossroads of destiny. The sun, a restless artist, painted the dawn with hues of gold and crimson, a tapestry heralding the beginning of choices yet to be made. An eternal dichotomy beckoned him, the left path glistened with an allure of mystery and shadow, while the right path shone with the clarity of enlightenment and virtue. This moment—a mere breath in the annals of existence—signified a pivotal juncture in Pavel’s life.
Pavel was no mere mortal; he was a journeyman, a soul threaded with the common fears and aspirations that tugged at the heart of humanity. He felt the weight of the world upon his shoulders, burdens engraved in the fabric of his being by love, loss, hope, and despair. Each step he took reverberated with the echoes of generations past, inheriting not just dreams but also the fears that shackled their spirits.
As he considered his path, the shadowy whispers of the left route beckoned him, veiled in the deep enigmas of the psyche. It promised forbidden knowledge, the allure of power, and the intoxicating scent of rebellion. Here lay Abraxas, the ancient symbol uniting opposites—light and dark, good and evil—representing the primordial chaos from which all creation flows. To invite Abraxas into his journey was to embrace the totality of the human experience, acknowledging the duality that wove itself into the very essence of existence.
Conversely, the right path, bathed in the warmth of unblemished truth, radiated a serenity that comforted Pavel’s often-tormented spirit. Each stone gleamed with hope and wisdom, reflecting the collective sigh of seekers who journeyed before him. Yet here, too, awaited the harvesting of sacrifice: the relinquishing of ego and indulgence for the sake of a higher understanding.
As Pavel lingered at the “Y,” the very fabric of his psyche unfolded before him. In the depths of his contemplation, he found himself grappling not just with his individual fears but also with the Archons—those nebulous entities representing limiting beliefs, controlling forces that circumscribed human potential. These were the guardians of the status quo, wielding their influence to suffocate curiosity and freedom with veils of illusion. They manifested as voices of doubt that murmured into his ear, condemning the pursuit of the shadowed path as reckless folly.
In that fraught moment, the power of Carl Jung’s wisdom surged forth. “The wound is the place where the Light enters you,” he had once said—an acknowledgment of the necessity of confronting one’s inner demons to unearth true illumination. Pavel felt the stirrings of his soul as it wrestled with the duality within; Abraxas was neither purely good nor evil, but the embodiment of wholeness itself—a journey beyond binaries and into the richness of complexity.
In a moment of silent revelation, he felt the ghosts of his ancestors swirl around him, their whispers of wisdom mingling with his own fervent pleas for clarity. “You are not alone,” they resonated within the hollows of his consciousness. “Illumination comes not purely from light or shadow, but from the reckoning of both. To forsake one is to deny your soul its full breath.”
Thus, from the depths of this ethereal commune, Pavel made a bold choice. He would confront the Archons head-on; he would no longer allow their whispers to dictate his direction. “I shall face the primal fears,” he declared to the shifting shadows before him, “and embrace the totality that Abraxas represents.”
With his heart burning with newfound courage, he stepped forward into the labyrinthine shadows. As he journeyed deeper, the Archons materialized, their forms shifting like mists in the wind—each figure a representation of fear, guilt, and despair. “What do you seek?” they hissed, malice woven into their queries.
“I seek wholeness,” Pavel replied, feeling the power of his voice surge like a tempest. “I seek to embrace my shadows as much as my light. Your control loses its power the moment I acknowledge you.”
With every word, he disarmed them, recognizing that they were not separate from him but reflections of his own psyche—the parts he had repressed, the fragments of his being yearning for attention. As he unlocked the doors to his innermost fears, the Archons began to wane, their influence dissolving into the ether. The tumult of inner struggle transformed into a symphony of recognition. In confronting them, he became less their foe and more their partner, weaving them into the very fabric of his consciousness.
In this alchemical process, Pavel found his embrace of Abraxas—the divine unity of all opposites. Ascension was not an escape from the flaws of humanity but a sacred integration of them. Each step he took along the mysterious path transformed into a rite of passage; he became both the seeker and the sought, the illuminated and the shadowed.
Thus, Pavel continued as a true journeyman, navigating the symphony of existence with a heart attuned to the diverse melodies within—an orchestra of both light and dark. His journey became one of artistry, painted with bold strokes and delicate whispers, learning that true illumination lies not merely in the path chosen but in the courage to embrace the fullness of existence—the relentless dance of shadow and light that shapes the soul.
And as stars bore witness to his journey, Pavel walked on, an eternal traveler. He had come to understand that the fears of the Archons could only enhance his ascension if he dared to face them, and he emerged—a symbol of humanity amidst the cosmic nightmare and dream, indelibly caught in the beautiful, turbulent embrace of enlightenment.
