PANAMA PAPERS: A WEAPON USED AGAINST POLITICAL ENEMIES OF THE ELITE
France’s National Front and Britain’s UKIP targeted

In addition to Russia’s Vladimir Putin, France’s upstart “far right” political leader Marine Le Pen has fallen victim to the selective revelations of the Panama Papers. British businessman Arron Banks, slotted to replace Nigel Farage as the leader of the UK Independence Party, has also taken heat.
On Monday, Le Pen cited the papers selectively “leaked” by a Soros, Rockefeller and Rothschild funded “investigative journalism” outfit, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. “The control-free movement of men, goods and capital, coupled with high finance’s stranglehold on all levels of the economy, can only produce global fraudulent and money-laundering systems,” she said.
The political establishment in France was dealt a blow in December when the populist and anti-EU National Front made unexpected election gains, particularly in Nord-Pas-de-Calais-Picardie where Le Pen won 40.6% of the vote. The previous year the party received 4,712,461 votes in the European Parliament election, finishing first with 24.86% of the vote and 24 of France’s 74 seats. France’s Socialist party appealed to the center-right Les Républicains to cobble together a bipartisan alliance capable of defeating Le Pen, but the effort was opposed by former President Nicolas Sarkozy.
Former British Tory and UKIP donor Banks denies any involvement in a network of tax havens exposed by the Panama Papers. “It has been reported in The Guardian that Mr. Arron Banks was named in the leaked Panama files,” a spokesman for Banks said. “The claim is not true. Mr. Banks has never used the lawyer named and therefore does not appear in the leaked information.” He said companies mentioned in the article are defunct, do not trade and Banks “looks forward to receiving an apology” from The Guardian and the Daily Mail.
