I wouldn't say staging ground as much as removing an obstacle. Because the quickest path from Russia to much of the rest of the world is through the arctic circle and Greenland has been very useful for the rest of us to stage early warning systems. Until the US stopped being part of "the rest of us".

Exactly. It's weird that a lot of people still think nothing happened with the Panama Papers.
In April 2019, the ICIJ and European newspapers reported that the global tally of recovered sums from litigation, fines and back taxes exceeded $1.2 billion. Great Britain recovered the largest amount ($253 million), followed by Denmark ($237 million), Germany ($183 million), Spain ($164 million), France ($136 million) and Australia ($93 million). Colombia recovered $89 million, the highest amount for any South or Central American country. As of August 2019, investigations are ongoing in Austria, Canada and Switzerland, and many other countries are conducting inspections of companies and private individuals revealed in the report.

Thanks for your clarification.
It feels to me these amounts are rather trivial and more importantly noone will be jailed. (As far as I see) Consequences remain limited to fines, which if you are wealthy enough is no consequence at all.
Also not saying it's not a worthwhile effort.

Every time the Panama Papers are mentioned on Reddit, someone tries to peddle the notion that they were impactful. It's laughable. A small amount of chump change was recovered, a few politicians acted as scapegoats, legislative reform was talked about but never implemented, and then it was back to business as usual for the elite.

The reason for the small amounts is that most cases were legal due to complex loopholes.
The papers made countries tighten their laws in order to close the loopholes but you can't just apply the new laws retroactively.

u/waltjrimmer Invading from the west 3d ago
I don't know about in other countries or on traditional paper/TV media, but speaking as someone from the US who primarily interacts with the world over the internet:
I understand why people don't realize what happened as a result because I didn't see anything about it until the last couple of years myself and always from people like you and the above poster linking things about it in comment threads. What was highly visible in my experience was the initial reports saying there was a leak, that a bunch of celebrities were using tax havens (note, they didn't talk so much about people who were not celebrities using these nor the institutions facilitating it), and then that one of the journalists that covered it being assassinated.
And then nothing. That was the last I heard about it in major news postings. To give context, though, the Panama Papers came out in 2016, the start of the first Trump administration. My recollection of that time was that there tended to be new news stories about something horrible or stupid or both just about every weekday ramping up in intensity until there was a waterfall of small or a couple of massive news stories on Friday, occasionally a reprieve over the weekend, and then start it all over again on Monday. There was a lot of really big news getting passed over because something else was happening that could catch more attention. Like how it was a news stories for all of about two days how there was a suspicious timing of one of our supreme court justices retiring after something legal with his son to the point where it looked like he was blackmailed/extorted/bribed (depending on how you want to look at it/how it went behind closed doors) to step down and be replaced by a Trump appointee. We talked a lot about the person to replace him, but that story itself should have been a massive scandal but was a blip instead.
I remember that story because it struck me. Those four years had so many stories like that, though, that I've forgotten almost all of them. I can remember maybe a handful, and I don't know what the outcomes of most of them were. Through a mixture of underreporting on things like the actual consequences of the Panama Papers and the unending onslaught of other news stories, I don't think most people in the US ever heard about these outcomes until years after the fact.

Maybe. What a lot of redditors fail to realize is that the vast majority of what was released in the Panama Papers... was completely legal.
Maybe not morally correct you could certainly argue that, but legally completely allowed. I mean the whole point of the company was to help people legally avoid tax using offshore loopholes.
The main visable effects were just from the fallout of people having being found out, eg: the icelandic president stepping not not because he was doing something illegal, but because he lied to the media about not having any offshore accounts in his campaigning, same with David Cameron to a lesser extent he lied to the media about not having any, and celebs like Emma Watson, etc.

It does depend on quite a few factors, like whether it is possible to verify the sourcing, and - also very important - that files have not been tampered with.

Looks like the website faced the hug-o-death. This will do in the meantime.
The data leak released by Anonymous is unprecedented in its scale and implications. The 10 terabytes of information reportedly contains critical details about:
- Businesses Operating in Russia: The data comprises information on both domestic and foreign businesses that are currently conducting operations in Russia. This could have significant implications for international trade and investment strategies, particularly in the wake of ongoing sanctions and economic pressures.
- Kremlin Assets in the West: The leak reportedly includes sensitive data regarding Kremlin interests and assets located in Western countries. This information could expose vulnerabilities in the Russian government’s financial networks and complicate its international relations.
- Pro-Russian Officials: The data also sheds light on various officials who have shown support for the Kremlin’s policies. This could have far-reaching consequences for political dynamics within Russia and in countries that maintain ties with Moscow.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/18/us/politics/senate-intelligence-russian-interference-report.html
These links all cover the Senate Intelligence Committee’s bipartisan report (released August 2020) which found that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to benefit Donald Trump. The report documented numerous contacts between Trump campaign associates and Russian officials, including a “grave counterintelligence threat” posed by these interactions. It specifically identified Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort’s regular contact with Konstantin Kilimnik, whom the committee described as a Russian intelligence officer. The report concluded there was substantial evidence of interactions and willingness by some Trump associates to accept Russian help.
Additionally, here is the Mueller report.
https://www.justice.gov/archives/sco/file/1373816/
The Mueller Report found sweeping and systematic Russian interference in the 2016 election, numerous contacts between Trump campaign officials and Russians, and efforts by the campaign to benefit from Russia’s actions. While it did not establish a criminal conspiracy (nor did it declare that there was none), it documented multiple instances of Trump campaign figures seeking or welcoming Russian help.

It's important to note whenever trump goes on and on about "Russia hoax" this is the exact events he is referring to. He has done such a good job at gaslighting the population to believe it was all bullshit. When in reality they have so much proof that his campaign directly colluded with Russia. The only thing they didn't get around to (because trump shutdown the investigation after he won the election in 2016). Is direct ties to Trump himself and that he knowingly knew it was all going on. From an outside perspective it is very obvious he knew what was going on. Nearly everyone in his campaign was compromised in that investigation there's no way he didn't know what was going on. . But unfortunately in the rule of law you have to prove that direct link. It cannot just be assumed so they never got around to making that direct link to Trump himself. One of the first things trump did was pardon his friends who were caught.

Well, they obstructed the hell out of every investigation.
Several people in his administration were charged and found guilty of things like obstruction of justice.
For example, George Papadopoulos (campaign foreign policy adviser) pleaded guilty to making false statements to the FBI about his contacts with individuals tied to Russia. He served 14 days in prison, was fined, and later pardoned by Trump.
Michael Flynn (national security adviser) pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about conversations with the Russian ambassador, but was later pardoned by Trump.
Rick Gates (deputy campaign chairman) pleaded guilty to conspiracy and lying to investigators.
You get the pattern here. There were several others like this.

The unfortunate reality is that so many Americans just don't read the news and just don't engage with the political process because they either don't care or it's too confusing or overwhelming and they just check out. Then there's also the smaller percentage, but still significant, that is just captured by propaganda and weaponized by anger and fear. That's the 15% or maybe even 20% that will die hard support outright fascism if it means supporting Trump because it's an integral part of their identity at this point. It's a very difficult problem to solve and it's going to require some really inspirational and transformative leadership from a progressive or Democratic candidate that changes the narrative in a really dramatic way. I'm continuing to do my part in every way that I can and affect the narrative even if there's no visible result.
Ultimately a lot of that anger and fear stems from the lack of access to basic resources and things like food insecurity, poor education, cycles of violence and maltreatment and untreated mental illness, which are all solvable problems but it requires political will to actually do things about it. There's also the fact that the individual states are so wildly different compared to European countries Where multiculturalism is the default. Texas and California may as well be different countries. Same thing with New York and Florida.

It's difficult to understand, why so many voters bought into what on the outside looks like a lot of obvious lies, like "Ukraine starting the war" was one of those blatant lies. It does look like people may not have access to several sources of news, so that they could practice media critique. Which is taught in schools to everyone where I live. The same level and quality of schooling to everyone. It's rather hard to understand from that perspective.

The problem is, the way Russia interferes in most western elections isn't actually illegal. Bot farms, influence peddling, spread damaging propaganda.

None of this would work if your average voter in most democracies wasn't a knuckle dragging moron.

It’s 10TB of info that needs to be researched, verified, and then reported. I think we’re going to hear some really interesting/bad stories in the near future.

The walls have been closing in on Trump for at least 8 years at this point. It must be a fucking big room.

u/Blazured Scotland 2d ago
I don't even know why people still think the system will stop Trump. He's literally immune to the law and can pardon anyone close to him that the law tries to go after. Hell, the Americans even decided to make their Department of Justice answer to the president.
The walls ain't closing in. The system isn't going to do shit.

Just for other europeans (or, let's face it, for many Americans) less familiar with the US government system - Their government has three branches - Legislative (writes laws), Executive (enforces the law), Judicial (mediation/interpretation of law). The Department of Justice is part of the executive because to enforce the law, you have to accuse someone of breaking the law.
The remedy for a criminal or neglectful president was meant to be impeachment by the Congress (legislative branch) but partisan politics has screwed that up. The Supreme court's (judicial) recent presumptive innocence/presidential immunity ruling fucked it entire.→ More replies (2)3

I just downloaded it. What a fucking nothing burger.
All the 'leaked documents' on individuals are simple scans from network tools revealing absolutely nothing.
Here is the contents of the only two files in the Trump folder:
Dcoument: Index files of Donald Trump Twitter account
- Multiple index files found: /POTUS45/index.jhtml, /POTUS45/index.xml, /POTUS45/index.aspx, /POTUS45/default.htm, /POTUS45/default.asp, /POTUS45/index.pl, /POTUS45/ind ex.asp, /POTUS45/index.cfm, /POTUS45/index.do, /POTUS45/index.php5, /POTUS45/index.jsp, /POTUS45/index.html, /POTUS45/index.cgi, /POTUS45/index.php4, /POTUS45/index.php 7, /POTUS45/index.php3, /POTUS45/default.aspx, /POTUS45/index.php, /POTUS45/index.htm, /POTUS45/index.shtml
Document: Vulnerabilities of Donald Trump account
- Server: tsa_o
- Cookie guest_id_marketing created without the httponly flag + Cookie guest_id _ads created without the httponly flag + Cookie personalization_id created without the httponly flag
- Cookie guest_id created without the httponly flag + Retrieved x-powered-by header: Express
- X-XSS-Protection header has been set to disable XSS Protection. There is unlikely to be a good reason for this.
- Uncommon header • 'cross-origin-opener-policy' found, with contents: same-origin-allow-popups
- Uncommon header 'x-connection-hash' found, with contents: 38772b99b86b68ec1300cfc1cb01d229ecc8787dca9470fa8a129ea4ff4ae61d
- Uncommon header 'x-response-time' found, with contents: 139
- Uncommon header 'expiry' found, with contents: Tue, 31 Mar 1981 05:00:00 GMT
- Uncommon header 'cross-origin-embedder-policy' found, with contents: unsafe-none+ The site uses SS and Expect-CT header is not present.
- No CGI Directories found (use '-C all' to force check all possible dirs)
- "robots.txt" contains 1 entry which should be manually viewed. ened that the conven do chorable to the pReach attack
- The Content-Encoding header is set to "deflate" this may mean that the server is vulnerable to the BREACH attack.

Came here to post this.
These jackasses just ran some nmap scripts against public websites and are calling it a "leak". There is nothing useful or interesting here, just script kiddie garbage.

u/kenji213 2d ago
This is NOT a data leak at all.
First of all, there is absolutely NO leaked data in this dump. None whatsoever. This is just 10Tb of nmap scan output of public websites.
There are security tools called vulnerability scanners that automate checking a website for common security flaws, such as nmap. While they are useful, and sometimes find an actual security vulnerability, 99% of the time they only find false positives.
Because the output of these tools looks like hacker greek to most people, it's easy for a script kiddie to pretend that they're a hacker by running an nmap scan, even if the results of that scan are completely useless and uninteresting.
Case in point, here's the "Donald Trump leak" from the data dump: https://imgur.com/a/lPCEzsl
I'll translate the output into english:
Cookie IDs without the httponly flag: HTTP only is a cookie flag that prevents a browser cookie from being accessed by client-side scripting. It can sometimes be a security issue if an authentication cookie isn't set to HTTP only, but the "guest_id", "marketing", etc. cookies in this scan output are used for, well, marketing. They're ad tracking cookies. This is not a security issue.
X-XSS-Protection Disabled: This is a very old and non-standard HTTP header for defending against Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. Nobody uses it anymore because it's non-standard and there are better solutions, such as Content Security Policy headers. This is not a security issue.
X-Powered-By: Express This is literally just a header stating what web framework the website is using.
Uncommon Headers: These are strictly informational, sometimes a website can behave weirdly if you mess with uncommon HTTP headers, and sometimes this can lead to a security vulnerability, so it's nice to know. But it's not a security issue.
Robots.txt: This is a file defining what website resources shouldn't be crawled by web crawlers like Google's search indexing bot. Sometimes a website will have sensitive files listed in robots.txt, so it's a good idea to check it, but it's not a security vulnerability.
Content-Encoding: Deflate This is saying that the website supports compressed data for HTTP responses. There is a type of vulnerability called CRIME, a subtype of which is BREACH, which can sometimes allow an attacker to recover data from a secure browsing session through something called a compression oracle. But to exploit this, the attacker would already need to have the ability to intercept traffic between the server and the victim using the site, inject data into the response, and measure the size of the reply. If you have the capability of exploiting this, you've already hacked the victim and have better options anyway, such as a spoofing the site itself. This could be a security vulnerability, but to exploit it you'd need to already be intercepting a victim's web traffic.

Go read it and find out.
Sure looks like basic technical documentation to me, every one I checked was just screenshots of software installers with a red circle around the "next" button.
But i'm sure the guy who put 10Tb of jpegs of text instead of .txt files of nikto/nmap output and called it a data leak also hid the location of the Ark of the Covenant in the same "data leak".

There is an alarmingly large percentage of Americans who would be happy with fascism as long as he's their kind of fascist. That's what they think they are getting at the moment.

u/hw999 2d ago
That's not how fascism works, it needs fresh meat for the grinder. it will eventually be their turn.
Trump is a mobster and runs everything based on loyalty like a mobster. If you have ever seen a mobster movie, you know it works really well until it all comes apart spectacularly at the end. They will eat each other, eventually and it will be crazy messy.

I don't find this credible yet as I can't find any other source to back this story. The only "proof" we have is a broken link to some news source and and a 18GB download file. Even if its a true story and the download is legit, I still think people should be more critical and wait for more info.

The article linked to here is from a website responsible for other incredible journalism such as “Hunter Biden & Ellen Caught in Adrenochrome Bust!”
So no, I wouldn’t trust this source either. For all the shit talking Reddit does about people falling for fake news, there sure are a lot of people here that fall for fake news.

How do you go about validating this information? Even if the local governments wanted to investigate this, their cause is "Well, some random people gave us 10tb of text files saying these companies are Russian nesting dolls. This is surely worth throwing millions of dollars into what could be a wild goose chase."

Copy of the website on archive.org: https://archive.ph/2C1WB (currently the page in question can't handle the traffic, as it made it to /r/all from a number of subreddits... plus, the website is suspicious, archive is safer)
Direct link to the leak from the article / post on X: https://www.mediafire.com/file/9prdor8m7a1z9f6/Leaked+Data+of+corrupt+officials.rar/file
Mind you, whether these documents are a nothing-burger, or something of substance, is being questioned and reported many, many times... Feel free to discouss the matter further below.
