The favourite and most reliable place to launder money is Israel. Every financer who knows his shekel knows that one.

All you need is to set up a bogus charity, channel your money there, the money is made kosher, a cut is taken, and the money can re-surface in countries like Switzerland.

China is a mickey-mouse country with primitive means of doing laundering of the money kind. Even those without money won't dare risk their non asset there.

This is a piece of misinformation of the most laughable kind. If true someone obviously wants to have a good laugh at the French courts running around in circle in China, get nowhere, and die of sheer exhaustion.

It does serve the nice purpose of blackening some French at the same time run China down.

That would be somehow in the interest of only one country. Oh, don't worry, it is not Israel - it is deeply involved in transferring military researches there (that one, the Chinese can handle better).

"It does serve the nice purpose of blackening some French at the same time run China down."
The French government are scumbags the same as the UK and US governments, just as mercenary, just as greedy, just as repressive. Let's stop with all the Francophile bullshit, even contempt is too good for Chirac.

Mention something slightly controversial and people stick their fingers in their ears and shake their heads, wailing Israel, Israel. Grow up, deal with issue rather than changing the subject.

That is a nice title for a song!!!

Israel indeed is the capital of money laundering. A lot of illicit money goes in and out - all the money from dirty deals from the Ukraine, Russia goes that way. The mafia from these regions roam freely (as Robert Maxwell did) in Israel enjoying all the respect and worship as the attention given to the others going there for their money to be made kosher.

It is an open fact which certainly irk someone here.

AND Israel profits heavily from arms sale - the business of death.

Israel's economy is bankrupt (so are the corrupt politicians) and the only profit it is making is from arms sales.

And it trades nicely with China which is not "below contempt" for that country. On the one hand Israel receives the largest amount of military ware from the USA, on the other, it sells enough to account for 70 percent of its trafficking. Not too long ago, Israel tried to sell an AWAC to China and was smacked on the head by the USA. It is still trying to honour the deal with that country "below contempt" (but with good money...).

So why isn't one wailing "Israel Israel"????

And when it is definitely Israel Israel????

I would have sworn the honour goes to Israel..... but then some would attempt to put an "anti-semitic" label to the remark.

My point is, not every bit of corruption, inhumanity, violence etc can be excused by someone sticking their fingers in their ears and shouting 'look at Israel!'. This article had very little to do with Israel, and the first comment attempted to justify French piggery by doing 'now you see it, now you don't' with the central issues. One minute we're discussing France, then all of a sudden it's about Israel. Gnash your teeth about Israel all you want, but *don't do it at the expense of other issues*.

I thought (I am allowed to think am I not since I am semitic and not Palestinian) that the article was about corruption and Israel is (according to Israelis too) one of the nost corrupt (AND murderous) place on this planet.

AND it is more likely that the French diverted money to Israel than to mickey-mouse country like China where there is no money laundering skill (nor history) like there is arms buying ability (buying and collaborating from and with Israel that is...).

It appears to have touch a raw nerve, and so it should.

The ire is disguised as the "chastisement" meted out by a self-appointed "moderator", and in the name of the "right conduct" for posts to Indymedia (presumably the Israelis have also occupied them?).

The giveaway is that there is intensed anger at the mention of Israel (and for the fact that what I wrote was absolutely true) and if the thought (and "right" post) Gestapo lieutenant would look closer there are plenty to moan about with the other posts.

But strangely the trigger is "Israel".

"Moderating" on behalf of the rest of us when one is not appointed is not an admired thing... It reminds me of a certain chosen bunch of zioNazis who appoint themselves to rule over the Palestinians, telling them what they should or should not do.

Fer G*d's shit, relax man. Let people make mistakes.
Don't be so hard and think Mum's behind your back telling you what you should or should not do.

Israel's a darn bad mistake and we all know it.

AND israel is a big money-laundering machine.

AND we all know it (especially those with connection with Israel).

The subject is about French and Chinese money-laundering. The trigger word is money-laundering for me. I am writing about my suspicion that it could be a Mossad diversion... about the fact that no right thinking thieves would think about sending money to China when Israel is the best place for illicit money.

AND Israel's position is maintained with sheer force, brute force, scorch earth genocidal efficiency.

Wouldn't anyone who is a good thief would surely put their trust and faith there.

Robert Maxwell did.

And one Shirley Porter may be able to say the same.

I haven't heard a complaint from them ever about the Israeli not-so-secret service yet.

So if anyone here wants to know a damn good place for a "diversionary" of ill-gotten gains (eg. pension money, money stolen from Holocaust victims, extortion, prostitution, gambling etc etc rackets) you know where to go to. It is that land itself on stolen ground.

It is called Israel, and I repeat, Israel.

>>>>

Teach me so I may learn about this one.

I have only got to the "ashes and sack clothes" chapters.

AND it is mighty theatrical.

Almost as theatrical as when someone wants to go on the defence of the defenceless.

Almost as the theatrical as the term "defence" as in the Israeli genocide machine called the "Defence" Force.

Surely just "Force" would do.

Ooooops, I have diverted from writing only about the wicked ways of Israeli money laundering.

I hope the thought jackboots are not around (probably busy defending the atrocities against the Palestinians somewhere...).
