With the help of governments and their intelligence agencies, the global arms trade continues to be a controlling and corrupting force throughout the world.
artikel på Svenska nihilistsällskapets sajt om Pekka-Eric Auvinens brotti Jokela 2007: "...vad denna skolmassaker lär oss är just detta: vi kan inte fly eftersom det inte finns någon "säker" bubbla där vi kan distansera oss från de ökade problemen i vårt samhälle. Vi är alla del av det här systemet, och om vi tycker att utvecklingen går åt fel håll, är det vi som bär det slutgiltiga ansvaret att styra det på rätt kurs igen. Vi är inte gudar, men som människor har vi möjlighet att skapa förändring, och just en sådan radikal förändring krävs i dag." "Trots den allmänna uppfattningen om att demokrati ger makten åt folket, har detta samhälle ironiskt nog passiviserat oss till den grad att vi inte längre tror på oss själva"
"But the incompetence and failure of politicians and officials is not as shocking as the moral truancy of many intellectuals – the professionals paid to preserve and transmit historical and philosophical wisdom, and intelligently to interpret the contempo
"An international alliance of publishers, including Cambridge University Press, Elsevier and Pearson Education Ltd, has served successful cease-and-desist orders on a piracy operation with an estimated turnover of £7m." "Alexander Skipis, Börsenverein c.e.o., added: "This case demonstrates, in particular in the context of current debates, that systematic copyright infringement has developed into a highly criminal and lucrative business."

Vastikään lähti lausunnolle lakiluonnos maalittamisen kriminalisoimiseksi.
The trauma being experienced by Sundar’s men in the control room of KKNPP-1 are not teething troubles of a new technology. There are enough evidence to show that the reactors at Kudankulam are made of counterfeit and sub-standard equipment and spares rendered surplus due to post-Chernobyl cancellation of two dozen VVER-1000 reactors in Eastern and Central Europe. As Gopalakrishnan said, “a very large amount of public funds have been spent on this reactor, with very little benefit accrued to the people in return. The reactor is known to have suffered continuous and unprecedented problems during the construction, erection and commissioning phases as well as during the present initial operation period till date.”
In the recent past, there have been instances of large scale corruptions involving politicians, administrators, industrialists and scientists and technologists, even frontier-science driven government enterprises like space research. In all these scams, all what happens is flow of public assets to private pockets. Not a single child is going to suffer from thyroid cancer or mental retardation and hence we tend to forget these the moment a new scam surfaces, which is a cyclic process in modern times. Nuclear corruption may end up in catastrophe of global level, and the impacts can be trans-generational. India and Russia have enough experts and wise women and men to understand that the dips in the graph above and events since its grid connection reported earlier are worthy of an independent investigation. Fortunately it is possible now as the decisions on Kudankulam are taken at the highest political level and the “Prime Minister Narendra Modi firmly believes that transparency and accountability are the two cornerstones of any pro-people government”

"Reaksjonene har vært forutsigbare. Med en politisk korrekthet av verste sort har mange på venstresida tydd til alle slags strategier for å bortforklare hendelsene, for det meste med generaliseringer: Gjerningspersonenes opphavsland- og region har blitt forsøkt uvesentliggjort, det har blitt påstått at dette ikke handler om etnisitet og religion, men om menns dominans over kvinner, og det har blitt satt spørsmålstegn ved med hvilken moralsk rett overgriperne kan anklages når hvite vestlige menn begår den samme type handlinger. Er det mulig å forestille seg en mer effektiv måte å rydde veien for innvandringsfiendtlige populister som utnytter vanlige folks bekymringer på?
Dette er ikke våre ord, men en forsiktig bearbeiding av det den slovakiske marxisten Slavoj Zizek skreiv etter de tilsvarende britiske hendelsene i artikkelen «Mulitkulturalismens grenser», gjengitt i Le Monde diplomatique oktober 2014. I den engelske byen Rotherham ble 1400 barn brutalt seksuelt utnyttet av pakistanske gjenger i perioden 1997 til 2013. Barn helt ned til elleveårsalderen ble voldtatt, bortført, truet og slått av gjengmedlemmene. Flere granskingsrapporter avslørte groteske forhold som at barn ble dynket i bensin og truet med å bli påtent, truet med pistoler og tvunget til være vitne til brutale voldtekter."
International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) 21 Jan 2014: "Chinese officials aren’t required to disclose their assets publicly and until now citizens have remained largely in the dark about the parallel economy that can allow the powerful and well-connected to avoid taxes and keep their dealings secret. By some estimates, between $1 trillion and $4 trillion in untraced assets have left the country since 2000."
the murky world of online financial transactions where money bounces between accounts from Cyprus to New York in the blink of an eye. "While Liberty Reserve was incorporated outside the United States, federal officials used a provision in the Patriot Act to target the organization and other financial institutions with whom they conducted business. It was the first time the provision had been used to prosecute a virtual currency provider, officials said." "Organized crime and terrorist groups are now financing their operations through these anonymous payment systems,” said Tom Kellermann, a vice president at Trend Micro, a security firm. “The financial sector no longer has a monopoly on moving capital around the world.”
WSJ 15.1.14: "The Libor manipulation scandal has ensnared at least 17 financial institutions and 22 individuals in a wide-ranging investigation spanning 11 countries and four continents. So far, it has netted at least $5 billion in penalties, with more on the way. Below, we've taken the most complete list of allegedly involved parties, compiled by WSJ reporters and editors, and mapped an extensive web of 298 reported connections that reveals the depth of the alleged conspiracy. Connections do not represent allegations of wrongdoing. The Journal has attempted to contact every institution and individual mentioned in this graphic. Their comments, if any, are included."
