Hi folks.
At the heart of all our Environmental and political discord is a group of greedy mob like business folks. I am working with folks on narrowing the scope and we are making great strides right now.
Here is the latest from the ICIJ Panama papers folks. Pay attention to this nifty bit, the money was being transferred with code names such as “Waterloo,” “Darth Vader,” “Silver” and “Gigo” were used to conceal their identities. Many are yet to be revealed.

Bribery Division: What is Odebrecht? Who is Involved? - ICIJ
Described as a "thing of criminal beauty," the Odebrecht scandal has toppled presidents, politicians, business figures and lawyers in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Now Canada was very much in cahoots with Odebrecht.
https://sencanada.ca/content/sen/committee/411/aefa/rep/rep05govresponse-e.htm
Odebrecht is now in huge trouble and there is a logical line from them to certain Canadian officials.
I have the address where the money went. Netherlands was confirmed to have a roll in moving bribe money. I also have the names of CEOs who might have a hand in this.
Everything goes to this engineering firm as the starting point of the bribe culture. Lines up with Gwen Morgan and SNC Lavalin issues. Mr Morgan was Harper's advisor and the advisor of Liberal Minister Christie Clark. The timing lines up with KPMG and when PM Harper hampered the Isle of Man investigations. It lines up with Onyx and Nigel Wright paying CEOs in shares too.
Basically if you pay CEOs in shares it reduces corporate taxes by 50%. The tax is take when stocks are cashed so they are manipulating the market buying shorts to make money.
Video on that is here: https://youtu.be/Z1LctxzEREE
The master if this system is Carl Ichan who happens to be Trump's advisor. Every time a bad news story happens regarding oil they make money basically as values drop.
When CEOs have shares, they can rig stock market results and they work like a cartel to do it. Many shell firms are owned by CEO who have no employees yet the set up a firm in the US to claim tax benefits on tax free Canadian MLPs. One example: Enbridge Income Fund was paying all of Enbridge's Canadian workers from the US, but had zero employees. Source: an SEC file submitted by Enbridge's own solicitors.

There were many pipeline companies doing the same.
Why Canadian pipeline companies are moving billions in assets to U.S. subsidiaries

Why Canadian pipeline companies are moving billions in assets to U.S. subsidiaries
Canadian pipeline companies are moving billions of dollars worth of assets to their U.S. subsidiaries, a move that allows them to pay less in tax and raise more capital for their major project

Now here is the data of Enbridge's CEO Al Monaco. Staggering amount of insider trading. https://ca.wallmine.com/people/53445/albert-monaco.amp?__twitter_impression=true
Kinder Morgan, Inc. has a market cap of US$46b, and is paying total annual CEO compensation of US$17m. (This is based on the year to December 2018). We note that's an increase of 4326% above last year. Look here:
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/kinder-morgan-inc-nyse-kmi-164627379.html?soc_src=social-sh&soc_trk=tw
Here is an article about the top 100 CEOs in Canada listing the wages vs. Other compensation. (the shares).
https://www.canadianbusiness.com/lists-and-rankings/richest-people/canada-100-highest-paid-ceos/
And to add to that mess, they are also rigging the market with air barrels. That means oil majors like Imperial Oil (owned by Exxon) have pre-purchased and bought out all the space on existing Enbridge pipelines even though it is not actually being used. This is to drop royalties to Alberta and the scam is costing $80 million a day. This is according to Rachael Notley.
https://business.financialpost.com/commodities/alberta-eyes-crackdown-on-air-barrels-as-revenue-losses-hit-80m-a-day
So of course Canada Revenue is now seeing the consequences of 11 Billion tax dollars now missing for the year 2014.
https://globalnews.ca/news/5403203/canadian-corporations-tax-dodge-11-billion-canadian-revenue-agency/
I saw the mess unfold. I tried to warn back in 2015 when I made this website flagging the issues unfolding.
https://line9fiscalconcerns.wordpress.com/
I knew the NEB process didn't make fiscal sense for the basic fact Enbridge makes pipelines. What wouldn't they want to rebuild Line 9? Why did they limit the EAs etc. The truth is money was made elsewhere. Approval brings grants and loans and investor cash which was moved about. They created a massive amount of shares to manipulate the market. Look at Enbridge with 1 billion shares here:
https://business.financialpost.com/news/fp-street/one-billion-share-issuance-weighs-on-enbridge
And Enbridge has been in cahoots with Russia the whole time. From Enbridge to Russia.The are speculations that Alexander Medvede had a KGB job because he worked at Donau Bank at the same time as Andrei Akimov, another KGB officer and now Gazprombank's chief. The links are on Wikipedia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Medvedev
Enbridge's Russian dealings from 2008 involved Alexander Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Management Committee of OAO Gazprom. Plans were to bring Russian LNG to Quebec and Ontario. https://www.energir.com/en/about/media/news/gazprom-us-based-subsidiary-and-rabaska-reach-agreement/
In 2017 Desmog uncovered that 40% of the steel created for Keystone XL was manufactured in Canada by a subsidiary of Evraz, a company 31-percent owned by Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, who is a close ally of Putin and a Trump. https://t.co/4TDA50WX8Z
Roman Abramovich is a known Russian gangster. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/russia/8820592/Roman-Abramovich-is-a-gangster-court-told.html
Enbridge has purchased more than two million tons of carbon-steel pipe from EVRAZ since 2006 over 6,000 km worth including the pipes for the proposed Enbridge Line 3. Source of Data: ENBRIDGE. https://t.co/BDJyio1gNA
EVRAZ NORTH AMERICA LIMITED purchased a US steel mill and upgraded it and now it's called EVRAZ Rocky Mountain Steel Pueblo, Colorado. They are the frim who will provide the steel support beams to make the TRUMP wall. It is the only facility in the US with the specifications to fabricate it.
https://www.evrazna.com/LocationsFacilities/RockyMountainSteelMills/tabid/71/Default.asp
The Denver post speaks of this too but details are repressed in the media. https://www.denverpost.com/2017/12/09/evraz-north-america-pueblo-mill-expansion/
I tracked the Russians behind both Doug Ford and David French. French is now gone, and in my view the danger remains with Mr Ford's solicitor Gavin Teighe who represents Russian agent Boris Birshtein. His son in law was Trump's partner in building the Trump tower in Toronto. Towers that use lots of steel...

My view, tax justice is climate justice. Until you stop the source of the issue: the profits of the schemes, we will not save this planet or our tax dollars. The scale of tax evasion is not sustainable and it poses a National Security risk.
This is what we need:
Pay CEOs in cash.
Apply charity laws to CPPIB investments to stop funding bad things like military activities, ICE incarcerating kids and corrupt agencies.
Identify beneficiaries. Make a public LEI system for Canada.
Solicitor client blocks Fintrac but we could track transactions of accountants.
Investigate Intratrust Netherlands and their roll in this mess.
We need an inquiry on the actions of Stephen Harper and Nigel Wright regarding the KPMG Isle of Man schemes and the use of shell firms for tax evasion.
Secure independent fiscal audits for Evraz, Enbridge and Kinder Morgan.
Outlaw shell firms. No employees, no right to conduct a business.

| Welcome back!
And welcome to the Bribery Division – our latest investigation.
Come inside the heart of Odebrecht – the Brazilian firm caught up in what was described as the “largest foreign bribery case in history.” The firm previously confessed corruption and agreed to pay $2.6 billion in fines to United States, Brazilian and Swiss authorities. (If you’re new to the Odebrecht scandal, this is a great place to start.)
Now, we can reveal Odebrecht’s bribery operation was even bigger than it has publicly admitted. And we have fresh evidence of corruption affecting large-scale projects in the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Panama, Peru and Venezuela.
Together with more than 50 reporters across 10 countries in the Americas we’ve tied more than $230 million in secret payments by Odebrecht to a number of projects across the region.

How did we do it?
We gained access to more than 13,000 files from inside Odebrecht’s special unit (the Division of Structured Operations) that it admitted “effectively functioned as a bribe department.” The documents were obtained by Ecuadorian news outlet La Posta who shared them with us.
Together we’ve read emails, analyzed spreadsheets and deciphered the secret payments funneled through a network of offshore companies and bank accounts. Code names such as “Waterloo,” “Darth Vader,” “Silver” and “Gigo” were used to conceal their identities. Many are yet to be revealed.
Our reporting on Odebrecht has just started, as has our partners – so make sure you share this email with people you think would be interested!
Until next week!
