"YESBUT she also did this other thing" does not make it any less false.
"One reporter, who did not break the story and was not part of the team of more than 300 people who did the primary analysis, but who used the information along with other sources to pursue government corruption in Malta was murdered with car bomb" is accurate.
That is not what the OP says.
Which makes me think the OP is pro-billionaire disinfo, spreading fear.
@jeffowski Her name was Daphne Caruana Galizia. Before she was killed, her bank account was frozen by the state of Malta. She revealed, among other things, that Maltese politicians were involved in the Panama Papers.
Hey, remember when cocaine was found in the Palace of Westminster and nothing was done about it?
Except that just recently the vile Home Sec said how bad drug users and drug dealers are and that the police are going to crack down on them? And the opposition only agreed with her?
@skrrp -- As a person that believes that drug use and addiction are not criminal issues for law enforcement and should all be decriminalized, who the fuck cares? shrug
You're still using unjust laws to punish people.
Focus on who gets "healthcare" and who gets "law enforcement".
Basically, the same result of your message, without the seemingly Puritanical stance on the drugs, casual recreational use of drugs, and addiction. #decriminalize
Because of the Panama Papers, governments have reclaimed $1.46 billion (with a B) of lost taxes. Hundreds of people were arrested. The Prime Minister of Iceland was forced to resign. The Prime Minister of Pakistan was banned from politics for life and later sentenced to 10 years. Laws were changed in 82 countries.
@jeffowski As the rich and powerful become richer and more powerful the ones likely to say or do something about it will say nothing and do nothing in fear of retribution.
It's almost like everyone is distracted by the fact that a journalist was or wasn't actually involved in the Panama Papers was killed and not the ACTUAL issue of the wealthy hiding their money. Funny how the trolls are getting thick on Mastodon now that X is falling apart. #PanamaPapers
@jeffowski yeah. the distinction is the murdered journalist used the information in the Panama papers to attack the corruption in her own country.
does that invalidate the point of the meme?
it's a moot point.
@VieilOgre@ydecreux@jeffowski It's pretty wild for you to take someone's correction of a detail and jump to claiming that person must think that the murder of a journalist is okay.
@kierkegaank@jeffowski So the rich now pay their fair share in the EU? Or is the EU still „preparing“? Here in Germany with three neoliberal parties of different colour forming the government I don‘t expect any support even if the EU commission were serious about tax havens.
@jeffowski I think the destruction of twitter and the worldwide rise of very rich people trying to subvert democracy and become dictators is one of the other things that was done about that information.
@jeffowski
Here’s the thing, the Panama Papers leak wasn’t even the only leak of its kind. There have been others like it since the initial release of those documents. Same people who published them went on to do similar work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INRs9rnciyI
