Also I think if you want to continue the auction you should restart the bidding again. Your highest valid bid might not even be interested anymore in your account.

Is owning an offshore bank account illegal?
Not more illegal than using bitcoin mixer. By the way, https://www.rt.com/uk/339333-used-david-cameron-ebay/ Listed in the ‘statues and ornaments’ section, “David Cameron” had a ‘Buy Now’ price of £65,900 (US$94,000) before the ad was removed from the site Tuesday.
That’s a steep cost for a “used” item described as being sold “for parts or not working” and “no longer needed.”
Made me chuckle. Seems way too overpriced for a washed-out politician like Dodgy Dave, maybe it included postage and packaging. |

The story that keeps on giving  This is ridiculous: HMRC Boss 'Linked To Firm Named In Panama Papers'The boss of Revenue & Customs (HMRC), which is to oversee an inquiry into the so-called Panama Papers, was a partner at a top City law firm that acted for Blairmore Holdings and other offshore companies named in the leak, according to a report.
In what is a further embarrassment for the Government, it was revealed that Edward Troup, executive chair of HMRC since April, is a former partner at Simmons & Simmons, whose clients have included the Panama-registered fund created by David Cameron’s father, Ian, The Guardian reported.
Mr Cameron announced at the weekend that HMRC would be working with the National Crime Agency to lead a "world-class" taskforce to investigate allegations of tax dodging and money laundering brought to light by the leak of 11.5 million files from the Panama law firm Mossack Fonseca.
A unit with initial funding of £10m is being set up, which will also bring together specialists from the Serious Fraud Office and the Financial Conduct Authority.

A cartoonist called Joe Sacco who published a comic book about his stay in Serbia, a harrowing read. For some reason the comic form makes his stories very realistic, a lot of seriously fucked up stuff has happened there over the years.

Welfare parasites? I like the idea but I don't see how anyone on welfare isn't a parasite. We shall put an end to all welfare programs, then we'll see if there will as many refugees coming. Borders would suddenly become useless. Only the adventurous would move abroad, and those people (yes, I'm one of them) have never needed welfare.
yeah....without welfare, borders would suddenly become useless...a true nugget of wisdom.... How about you tell that to all the tax dodgers uncovered by the Panama papers, they're the true welfare parasites. |

Murray asserts that the primary motivation for US and British military involvement in central Asia has to do with large natural gas deposits in Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. As evidence, he points to the plans to build a natural gas pipeline through Afghanistan that would allow Western oil companies to avoid Russia and Iran when transporting natural gas out of the region.
Murray alleged that in the late 1990s the Uzbek ambassador to the US met with then-Texas Governor George W. Bush to discuss a pipeline for the region, and out of that meeting came agreements that would see Texas-based Enron gain the rights to Uzbekistan’s natural gas deposits, while oil company Unocal worked on developing the Trans-Afghanistan pipeline.
“The consultant who was organizing this for Unocal was a certain Mr. Karzai, who is now president of Afghanistan,” Murray noted.
Murray said part of the motive in hyping up the threat of Islamic terrorism in Uzbekistan through forced confessions was to ensure the country remained on-side in the war on terror, so that the pipeline could be built.
“There are designs of this pipeline, and if you look at the deployment of US forces in Afghanistan, as against other NATO country forces in Afghanistan, you’ll see that undoubtedly the US forces are positioned to guard the pipeline route. It’s what it’s about. It’s about money, it’s about oil, it’s not about democracy.”
The Trans-Afghanistan Pipeline is slated to be completed in 2014, with $7.6 billion in funding from the Asian Development Bank.
Murray was dismissed from his position as ambassador in 2004, following his first public allegations that the British government relied on torture in Uzbekistan for intelligence. http://www.rawstory.com/2009/11/ambassador-cia-people-tortured/ |

The Americans are there in Afghanistan for the opium trade. They are not much interested in the trans-Afghan pipeline, as India is just another third world shit hole. The Americans need to make sure that Afghanistan is producing good quantities of opium. This opium is converted in to Heroin, and smuggled across the border to Iran and Russia. Afghan opium has enabled the NATO to wipe-out a significant part of the Russian and Iranian youth, thereby weakening these two rival nations. Agreed, the opium trade is definately a major factor for the ongoing US occupation in Afghanistan. Wouldn't say they are not much interested in the TAP, the former UK ambassador to Uzbekistan stated that all the current US military bases in Afghanistan are positioned all the way along where the proposed pipeline will be built (I'll try and find the video where he gave a speech about it). If I remember rightly, he even mentioned witnessing several US army lorries loaded with opium! |

 The vast majority of young Arabs are increasingly rejecting Islamic State and believe the extremist group will fail to establish a caliphate, a poll has found. Only 13% of Arab youths said they could imagine themselves supporting Isis even if it did not use much violence, down from 19% last year, while 50% saw it as the biggest problem facing the Middle East, up from 37% last year, according to the 2016 Arab Youth Survey. However, concern is mounting across the region as a chronic lack of jobs and opportunities were cited as the principal factor feeding terrorist recruitment. In eight of the 16 countries surveyed, employment problems were a bigger pull factor for Isis than extreme religious views. The eighth annual survey provides a snapshot of the aspirations of 200 million people. It found that five years after the start of the Arab spring, most youngsters prioritise stability over democracy. Optimism that the region would be better off in the wake of the 2011 uprisings has been steadily declining. In 2016, only 36% of young people said they felt the Arab world was in better shape following the upheaval, down from 72% in 2012. The majority (53%) agreed that maintaining stability was more important than promoting democracy (28%). In 2011, 92% of Arab youth said “living in a democracy” was their most cherished wish. Concern about poor job prospects was observed across the Arab world, where one in four 15- to 24-year-olds are jobless – the highest youth unemployment on the planet, according to World Bank. The International Labour Organisation believes up to 75 million young people are without a job in Arab countries. The Arab Youth Survey was based on 3,500 interviews across a range of issues with respondents aged 18 to 24. It found that 47% believed Sunni-Shia relations were deteriorating and 52% felt religion played too big a role in a region dominated by Saudi Arabia and Iran – respective cheerleaders for each sect and on opposite sides of the wars in Syria and Yemen. Overall, 39% of Arab youth viewed the bloody conflict in Syria as a proxy war fought by regional and global powers, 29% saw it as a revolution against the Bashar al-Assad regime, and 22% believed it was a civil war among Syrians. Nearly half of those polled supported the 2015 international nuclear deal that ended sanctions and brought Iran in from the cold – in striking contrast to the hostility of Saudi Arabia and other Gulf governments. Divisions were also evident in Arab youth perceptions of the US, with 63% considering it an ally and 32% as an enemy. Lack of democracy was cited as the biggest obstacle facing the Middle East by 22%, compared with 50% pointing to the rise of Isis. But two-thirds of young Arabs (67%) still wanted their leaders to do more to improve their personal freedoms and the human rights of citizens, particularly women. The survey by the PR consultancy Asda’a Burson-Marsteller, which has an office in Dubai, found that the United Arab Emirates is viewed by young Arabs as “a model country” that is economically secure, and is the most favoured nation to live in and set up a business. Nearly one in four (22%) cited the UAE – a federation of hereditary sheikhdoms without elected representative institutions – as the country they would most like to live in. A similar number said it is the nation they would most like their own country to emulate (23%). Respondents were not asked specifically about abuses that are regularly highlighted by international human rights watchdogs. The survey found 66% of Arab youth were increasingly concerned about falling oil prices, though 78% still believed they were entitled to subsidised energy – despite plummeting revenues. Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest oil producer, is struggling to undertake large-scale economic reforms in response. More young Arabs get their daily news online than from TV or print media, according to the survey – while 32% said they get their daily news online, 29% watch TV news and just 7% read newspapers daily (down from 13% in 2015). The Arab Youth Survey 2016 is carried out by international polling firm Penn Schoen Berland for Asda’a Burson-Marsteller. Respondents are from Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, UAE and Yemen.http://www.arabyouthsurvey.com/en/homehttp://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/apr/12/vast-majority-young-arabs-isis-shunning-poll |

HSBC?!
Oh the bank that laundered millions of $$$ for mexican drug cartels?
The same bank that profited from doing business with arms dealers who channeled mortar bombs to child soldiers in Africa, traffickers in blood diamonds and other international outlaws.
Think I'll pass.....

His defenders somehow need to turn themselves into mental contortionists...I saw someone arguing that he's been trapped by his wealth into not understanding what common people do. Poor devil.
My heart bleeds for the coke-sniffing tax avoiding toff. If he felt trapped by his wealth I'm sure he could share it with all the disabled people who have had their benefits slashed by his party. |

Oh, wait. And he's Not SAYING THE same thing about radical Muslim sympathizer, Obama?
Give me a break.
Hang on a minute there Spendulus. Obama has killed hundreds of Muslims with drone attacks alone, now if that's showing sympathy I would not like to piss him off. |

Maybe the forum fairy deleted my last posts.....
You know as well as I do, that quote was made by Trump, it wasn't misconstrued nor taken out of context. I didn't provide a link as you keep changing the goal posts in the OP.
Not to worry, the next quote with be sourced straight from his voicebox.
Are you blind? I told you I deleted them. There were no changing goal posts, the very first OP had the requirements of a directly sourced quote, I added more detail for people with reading comprehension problems such as yourself. I am trying to be fair, I know you have trouble with simple directions, so I thought I would ad some advice to clarify what you clearly aren't comprehending in simple English. I look forward to your directly sourced quote. Thanks for taking the time to explain it to me, that was very kind of you. Trump has said (and done) a lot of stupid things over the years, there are entire lists of retarded quotes (maybe you could help again and google them for me). |

You agree now and yet you had a nice looking when you made that post. You agreed with her then and still. You cannot be for the machine and against it. You can't serve two masters. You may not know if TRUMP will be a great president, you may hate him for what he represents to you, but you already know who were bad for the US and the world at large already. A very hypocritical position. It was just a smiley face, nothing more nothing less The problem I find on this board is that some people (not necessarily you) assume that Trump criticism = Hillary supporter. I'm not a big fan of hers tbh, I support some of Obama's policies (healthcare etc) but can still appreciate he's another war criminal like Bush and Clinton. Always seen the Democrats as the lesser evil which is probably why I tend to side with them on some issues. |
