The Obama administration & the DopeState had orchestrated a gigantic expat-bashing propaganda campaign to smear expat US citizens, leading up-to the intro of FATCA and continuing through its rollout.
ICIJ, the Soros/USAid “Offshore” propaganda outlet, is itself a spiderweb of offshore shell corporations and shady offshore financing.
The oldstock Brockers remember the large doses of offshore propaganda brought in by the DopeState partnership of government figures, media outlets, and the Financial Industrial Complex….when expats were daily barraged by FATCAT articles about Offshore Offshore Offshore. (rather than today’s Russia Russia Russia propaganda campaign).
Many remember the related hit articles on the revelations of Swiss bank accounts of rich Americans such as Tina Turner (resident and eventual citizen of Switzerland) due to Panama papers and ICIJ(International Consortium of Investigative Journalists).
Well, it turns out that the hypocrites of ICIJ (International Consortium of Investigative Journalists) was funded by a spiderweb of Offshore-Shell –Company DopeState actors (including USAid in critical years, but its current donors are listed below). The article below highlights it.
from the article:
“it’s curious that ICIJ’s Pulitzer-winning series featured Putin so many times given that Putin didn’t even have an offshore account with Mossack Fonseca. It’s also curious that so few Americans were exposed by ICIJ.
It’s even more curious that ICIJ didn’t report much on Browder, the former American turned Irish citizen, apparently for tax purposes, who has used plenty of offshore accounts to lighten his fiscal load. Browder — who was recently exposed in this story by 100Reporters — was for Putin, when he was raking in vast profits from his Moscow-based Hermitage Capital Management holding company, before he was against him, when he was accused by Putin of tax fraud. (Putin is a tyrant but he is, incidentally, right to be suspicious of journalists and NGOs, which he rightly views as agents of regime change.)
Browder is just one of many ICIJ donors to utilize offshore vehicles. In fact, according to 100Reporters, (Browder’s) Hermitage Capital Management “was built on corporate registrations authored by the Mossack Fonseca law firm.” “
…. Oh yeah, did I mention that Browder is suspected of (USAid) funding the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, a partner of ICIJ? And that the much-praised OCCRP has written extensively about Browder, in the most fawning terms imaginable, without disclosing that suspected funding? “
The Oldstock Brockers had also harbored hopes that Glenn Greenwald might have fought for the rights of expats, but the article shows that his DopeState connections well show that he is an establishment lackey

Hi Banc De L Asteroid. Just wanted to point out that there seems to be a couple typos in your article which make it difficult to follow. Specifically, the paragraph starting with “Well, it turns out that….
Actually, just WTF?
@nononymous, I was trying to be polite.
All the search engine hits on “DopeState” say it’s a docucomedy about the Gold Rush culture of the California weed industry. What does this have to do with FATCA? Or did the Asteroide poster mean the US DeepState. This is a concept embraced by theorists which refers to an inconsistent set of undemocratic conspiracies, including intelligence communities, private firms, media outlets, think tanks, foundations, NGOs, interest groups, the military–industrial complex, etc. In either case, what does this have to do with FATCA?
No idea, but apparently posts like this will enhance the credibility of IBS as a trusted source of useful and accurate information, so best just roll with it.
A fitting epitaph for the Great FATCA Scarey-Scarey.
“Or did the Asteroide poster mean the US DeepState.”
Sure did. In some of the Bancster’s older postings, the sarcasm was right on target. This time I don’t know what the underlying message was supposed to be. Maybe holding a mirror up to Trump’s attack on competent journalists? Seems like haemorrhoides got in the way of the message. Anyway the state of sarcasm is still in effect.
I’m not sure what Banc means by DopeState but I found some of his links interesting. The tricks used by “the big guys” to bypass laws and regs (often over-zealously enforced on “the little guys”) are quite extraordinary. Unfortunately the majority of “the little guys” are totally oblivious to what’s really happening. So maybe what we have is the DeepState (big guys) versus the DupeState (little guys). Truthfully I’m grateful I could never dream up the dirty deals THEY do but at least I’m trying to understand their methods. I have a feeling FATCA is only frying up minnows while the whales just leap over the frying pan. Not to say they don’t harpoon a token whale now and then but that could be merely to give the appearance of balance. Paul Craig Roberts thinks we live in a state of insouciance but I think the deceptions are so well-crafted as to dupe most of us into ignoring that which our curiousity should be compelling us to investigate.
@Nononymous: ah but the commenters who digress…
