Big Data Analytics Proves Invaluable In Tax Fraud Investigation

Posted: 29 Aug 2013 03:57 PM PDT

The article on ComputerWeekly.com titled Big Data Journalism Exposes Offshore Tax Dodgers reports on the findings of Offshore Leaks, the result of the work of an international group of journalists. The fascinating story of offshore tax evasion by over 100,000 owners and founders of companies and trusts begins in Australia with a hard drive containing 260 GB of corporate files and unfiltered (and unorganized) personal emails. The article explains,

“Processing and publishing the leaked data brought to the US from Australia took over 18 months to bring to fruition, and is still continuing. As the largest ever big data project tackled by journalists, the investigation faced technical problems and errors from the start, took blind alleys, and encountered problems in collaboration, as well as pioneering effective new methods…

The first wave of reporting of Offshore Leaks stories began in the UK’s Guardian in November 2012, followed by a global relaunch in April 2013.

The G8 summit in Lough Erne, Northern Ireland this year will address the issue raised by the stories. David Cameron even requested that offshore company records be published. It was not until Australian company Nuix offered the journalists its text retrieval software that the unstructured data began to give relevant tips. Without such analytics software the project may have gone nowhere.

In MIT Technology Review

Introduction

For our 13th annual celebration of people who are driving the next generation of technological breakthroughs, we’re presenting the stories in a new way. We’ve grouped them by categories that reflect the variety of approaches that people can take to solving big problems. The Inventors, for instance, are creating new technologies. The Entrepreneurs are turning technologies into viable businesses. The Visionaries are anticipating how technologies can make life better, while Humanitarians are concentrating on expanding opportunities. And the Pioneers are exploring new frontiers, setting the stage for future innovations.

This project takes months of effort. It begins with nominations from the public and MIT Technology Review editors. People who have been selected by our publishing partners as local Innovators Under 35 in several regions worldwide are also considered. The editors go through the hundreds of candidates and select fewer than 100 finalists, all of whom will be younger than 35 on October 1. A panel of judges rates the finalists on the originality and impact of their work. Finally, the editors take the judges’ scores into account to select the group.

I have the documents behind the Groundswell leak. They plainly have a ‘shadow government' working group. Have you heard much about this bunch? They seem to be mostly religious fanatics from what I can tell …

‘Shadow government'. I don't think they meant shadowing the government to make sure it was working, I think it was about using the Senators and House members involved to roadblock enough stuff that the current administration would collapse.

The Truth About the Cabal

I “woke up” in 1977, and one of the side effects of this was being able to “read” the “script” of the dark forces of domination, hatred, greed and chaos on this planet. I watched as they mesmerized populations through all forms of media. This mesmerizing hypnosis focused the human subconscious on being insatiable consumers, making fun of other people, and then it grew and grew into the weaving of sex and violence, and of making all kinds of guns seemingly romantic or powerful. It grew to create heroes of killers and spies. It’s purpose was to create as much fear and separation, as much alienation and despair as was possible through the illusion of image and sound repeated and repeated until it was programmed in to the layers of human consciousness. This all served to drain the life force of truth within humanity and put people soundly and profoundly to sleep. It was a brilliant way to try to diffuse the profound energies of Love and Light which were pouring forth from the Realms of Light and from the Source of All That Is for the timetable; which was a cosmic, universal, galactic and planetary timetable of increased consciousness, light, love, and enlightenment for all of humanity and in fact, for all worlds everywhere.

35 Things the Ruling Cabal Does Not Want You to Know

The advent of the worldwide Internet is proving to be the undoing of this Cabal’s previous near complete lock on the truth.

EXTRACT

35.The Ruling cabal’s greatest secret is that they are unable to infect and control those Americans who refuse to violate the Golden Rule (except in self-defense) know and keep a strong commitment to the US Constitution and Bill of Rights and refuse to be compromised or accept the lies and evil of the Ruling Cabal or its representatives or agents. They know that if more 12% of the people fully wake up they are finished, and we are at 10% now pushing 11%. Yes, research suggests 12% is a major societal tipping point and once reached, it’s bye-bye time for the ruling cabal eventually, one way or another.

Conclusion:

This recent flap over the big government lie that Assad used poison gas against the Syrian people is a great opportunity to see this newly emerging world populism work.The CMMM has been broadcasting 24/7 that Assad did it and most of the alternative media on the Internet Has claimed just the opposite, that US, Israeli & Saudi financed and supported Al Cia Duh has been responsible. Ron Paul is arguing differently.
