You Need to Know About the Bombshell 'Panama Papers' Leak:
Anonymous whistle- blower unloads massive trove of files exposing how world leaders and other elites hide money and evade taxes.
The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung and more than 100 other media partners dropped the explosive “Panama Papers” leak on Sunday.
The trove is described by ICIJ, a global network of investigative journalists, as “11.5 million leaked files to expose the offshore holdings of world political leaders, links to global scandals and details of the hidden financial dealings of fraudsters, drug traffickers, billionaires, celebrities (includes Amitabh Bachchan), sports stars and more.”
Mossack Fonseca, the Panama-based law firm that was exposed, has allegedly helped wealthy and powerful people hide and launder money, evading billions in taxes. The firm has “offices in more than 35 locations around the globe, and is one of the world’s top creators of shell companies, corporate structures that can be used to hide ownership of assets,” according to ICIJ. The papers together reveal information about more than 214,000 offshore companies connected to individuals in more than 200 countries and territories.
Here are a few more things you should know about the massive revelation:
1. The massive scale of the Panama Papers revelations could be the biggest leak ever.
2. This is the work of a courageous whistle- blower. The following Twitter shout-out from NSA whistle- blower Edward Snowden to the “John Doe” behind the Panama Papers says it all:
3. Whether or not the actions exposed in the Panama Papers were legal is not the most important question. The relevant question now is: "Is it ethical?"- Thanks.

കഴിയുന്നത്ര ഒഴിഞ്ഞുമാറുകയായിരുന്നു ഈ ദിനങ്ങളിൽ, ഞാൻ-
ഒരുപാടിഷ്ടപ്പെടുന്ന ഡാലിഅച്ഛനോട് സാമൂഹ്യമാധ്യമത്തിലൂടെ
ഇപ്രകാരം വിയോജിപ്പു പ്രകടിപ്പിക്കാതിരിക്കാൻ.
പക്ഷെ അച്ചൻ അത് സമ്മതിക്കുന്നില്ല, ആവർത്തിച്ചുള്ള തന്റെ പോസ്റ്റുകളിലൂടെ.
ഒരു സ്ത്രീയെ വീണ്ടും വീണ്ടും അഭിസാരികയെന്നും വേശ്യയെന്നും വിളിക്കുന്നത്‌-
അവൾ അതാണെങ്കിൽ പോലും- ഒട്ടും ഭൂഷണമല്ല;
പുഴുക്കുത്തേറ്റ ഒരു സംസ്കാരത്തിന്റെ ജീർണ്ണതയാണ് അത് വിളിച്ചുപറയുന്നത്.
ലോകത്തിലെ എറ്റവും പഴക്കമുള്ള തൊഴിലായി അറിയപ്പെടുന്ന വേശ്യാവൃത്തിക്ക്
ആധുനികശബ്ദതാരാ്വലിയിൽ മൊഴിമാറ്റം സംഭവിച്ചു "സെക്സ് വർക്ക് "
എന്നായത് അച്ചൻ അറിഞ്ഞിട്ടില്ല എന്ന് തോന്നുന്നു;
വേശ്യ ആകട്ടെ, 'sex worker'- ഉം.
മാത്രമല്ല, ഈദൃശ്യ കമന്റുകൾ "Libel' എന്ന നിയമ സംജ്ഞയുടെ പരിധിയിൽ വരുന്നതുമാണ്.

Jesus Anointed by a Sinful Woman.
36 When one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, he went to the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table. 37 A woman in that town who lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house, so she came there with an alabaster jar of perfume.38 As she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them.
39 When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would know who is touching him and what kind of woman she is—that she is a sinner.”
40 Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.”
“Tell me, teacher,” he said.
41 “Two people owed money to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii,[a] and the other fifty. 42 Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he forgave the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?”
43 Simon replied, “I suppose the one who had the bigger debt forgiven.”
“You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.
44 Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You did not give me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. 46 You did not put oil on my head, but she has poured perfume on my feet. 47 Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.”
48 Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
49 The other guests began to say among themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
50 Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.” No offence meant; thanks.
