Psychographic profile
In my former posts I talked about how the relation network and “likes” can be used to identify the psychological profile of a human being. It looks like this is now used in reversed order: As a search machine to identify persons with a specific profile. And it’s used to target a single person. For example in the Brexit and US president election 2016. See The Guardian or German Tagesanzeiger for how this is exploited by SCL.

While there are alternatives by a technical view all those services are basically a monopoly.
Now the inventor of the WWW himself, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, questioning this development as the internet has become world’s largest surveillance network

Panama Papers Manifesto
The origin source of the Panama papers published John Doe’s Manifesto a good read. He clearly describe what’s wrong.
If there is a opportunity to save taxes, you easily pay a share of the saved amount to someone helping you to save it. Even if only a few percent is payed, the tax evasion industrie is still able to employ tens of thousands of lawyers that will find every small loophole. We can say for sure that lawyers like Mossack Fonseca are at least partly paid by tax money.

Global Warming
A visual illustration helps to understand the warming trend.
This visualization illustrates Earth’s long-term warming trend, showing temperature changes from 1880 to 2015 as a rolling five-year average.
2015 was the warmest year since we measure it.
