Max Blumenthal and Ben Norton discuss the Pandora Papers, how zero US politicians or oligarchs were implicated, and the CIA's growing use of "hack-and-dump" operations.
The group behind the Pandora and Panama Papers, the ICIJ, is the anti-WikiLeaks. It is funded by regime-change organizations and billionaires, while working with US government front groups.
We show how the Washington is increasingly weaponizing so-called "anti-corruption" efforts against Official Enemies as a form of lawfare (judicial warfare) and hybrid war.

0:00.0 | Hello, this is Moderate Rebels. I'm Ben Norton. As always, joined by my co-host, Max Blumenthal. |
0:11.1 | This is a continuation of a discussion that we had at first talking about big tech and Facebook |
0:18.1 | and the so-called Facebook whistleblower. Definitely check out our other episode |
0:22.9 | to hear how the so-called whistleblower at Facebook that is being promoted by the media aggressively |
0:29.9 | actually is calling for the U.S. national security state to exercise even more control over people's access to information, |
0:40.7 | to censor things in the name of so-called national security, and how this so-called Facebook |

1:25.6 | What's curious about those leaks, well, |
1:28.6 | that's the way they were marketed, of course, is what I just said. But what's curious about them is |

1:45.1 | or economic influence. There are a lot of questions that have been raised about these so-called |
1:50.8 | Pandora papers, and I would say rightfully, considering that the group behind it, as you will hear |
