The Panama Papers fallout

By Péter MARTON

It is more than two years since the Panama Papers, a massive dump of 11.5 million documents related to offshore financial transactions with the involvement of Panamanian corporate services provider Mossack Fonseca, have been leaked and published. A large number of public officials, politicians and their various associates and family members have been implicated in the affair. It may be interesting to draw a balance at this point.



The number of senior officials who resigned so far in connection with the Panama Papers scandal: 2

They include Iceland's Prime Minister Sigmundur Davíð Gunnlaugsson, after protests gave him an additional push, and a Minister of Industry in Spain, José Manuel Soria.

(Please enlighten me if I am not aware of additional cases that may count here.)

The number of journalists killed investigating the implications of the Panama Papers: 1

That is Daphne Caruana Galizia, Maltese journalist, murdered by a car bomb this week.

(Please enlighten me if I am not aware of additional cases that may count here.)

Station Eleven (the book): A Review of the Post-Apocalypse

Image
By Péter MARTON Having just finished Emily St. John Mandel's Station Eleven (the 2015 winner of the Arthur C. Clarke Award), a part post-apocalyptic, part pre-apocalyptic novel with (inevitably and yet mostly just implicitly) the apocalypse in its centre, here are a few quick notes, in praise as well as criticism – not as a literary review, but mainly in reaction to the plot: its plausibility and its implications. As a work of literature I really liked this book – I enjoyed it, even. It is moody and haunting, as many would say. All the characters want to be somewhere else, even some time else. The story is effectively a collection of their memories upon memories of times, places and faces past. What follows here, however, is the dirty work – the ugly analysis of probabilities and plausibilities that's more interesting from a social science vantage point. A raw take from my part. Feel free (or invited, even) to add to this, or to criticise any element of my ass...

Developments related to ISIS, and much else, because this is, of course, related to pretty much everything else

Image
By Péter MARTON Because I need to speak at an event about the situation in Iraq/Syria tomorrow, here are some of the recent trends and developments related to ISIS -- my digest of these. These are research notes, effectively. For starters: Aaron Zelin notes how much the ISIS media presence diminished since the fall of Mosul: "In particular, after the fall of Mosul in July 2017, the IS distribution of governance-related media dropped precipitously (by 66 percent) until the complete end of such media activity (on September 12 in Syria; September 16 in Iraq). For reference, at its apex, between June and August 2015, IS released 3,762 pictures related to governance activities in Syria and 3,305 in Iraq. When Mosul fell, between May and July 2017, IS only released 315 pictures related to governance in Syria and 171 in Iraq. And the most recent count prior to the mid-September 2017 rupture was 142 in Syria and 113 in Iraq, between July and September 2017." And yet......

Elon Musk (unintentionally) presents... the new tool of "war amongst the people"?

Image
By Péter MARTON So Elon Musk is marketing a household flamethrower . A total of 20,000 have been pre-ordered already, and are being delivered as we speak. Some in the state of California freaked out over this, and promoted legislation to stop the sales of this indispensable kitchen appliance, but... predictably, gun rights activists came to the rescue of this fascinating project. Most naturally. Shipping is still reported to be a challenge as the likes of UPS are not happy delivering propane-filled canisters by air. It is nevertheless happening.
