So, I'm sure you have heard of this, but the Panama Papers have been released to the world and is now actively being investigated and deciphered. What is the Panama Papers? The Panama Papers is 2.6 Terabytes of data from a Panama based firm called Mossack Fonseca that links the world's "elites" to tax evasion and inhumane practices (human trafficking, drug trafficking, war crimes, etc). To find more info, click here. Here is a video into the Panama Papers: People such as the Icelandic PM Sigmundur Gunnlaugsson and Russian President Vladimir Putin, among several others world leaders, have been linked to Mossack Fonseca. As a result, Iceland protests are calling for the resignation of Gunnlaugsson. These are still being investigated, and it is likely that sometime in the near future a lot more names will appear, including American ones. What do you think about this and what do you think the result of these findings will be? What do you want to happen? Let's discuss.

So the Icelandic PM just tried to dissolve Parliament after it started a vote of no confidence. To bad that its a democracy and the President said, in basic terms, "Uh, no?". The Icelandic PM has now resigned.
