Car bomb kills journalist behind Panama Papers offshore tax evasion investigation 'days after she received threats to her safety' (Full Title)
A journalist who led the Panama Papers offshore tax evasion expose was killed today when a bomb blew up her car.
Investigative reporter Daphne Caruana Galizia - dubbed a "one-woman WikiLeaks" - was killed as she was driving near the village of Bidnija in northern Malta.
She had filed a complaint to police a fortnight ago after receiving personal threats to her safety, local media said.
Caruana Galizia ran a hugely popular blog relentlessly highlighting cases of alleged corruption, often involving politicians from the Mediterranean island nation.
In Malta, she had led the coverage of the Panama Papers, a leak of millions of legal documents last year detailing financial details of offshore entities used by the rich and powerful to avoid tax.

The globalists are being shut out of presidencies and premierships.
They’re getting desperate and impatient and as abresult they’re getting sloppy.

So why do you think the global “news” media is a totally housebroken propaganda organ of the left? They get the party line, and they parrot it like Charley McCarthy. They know the penalty if they stray out of bounds.
Sharyl Atkisson needs to be very careful.

“Blatant - a death penalty for anyone who exposes corruption.
No doubt some were using offshore companies in a corrupt way.
Many use them for asset protection and privacy - legally.

I hope someone carries on her work, with a companion bomb sniffing, watch dog. Whoever it is will need protection. They will need to know how to rely upon The LORD.
