It has been widely reported since at least 2010 that U.S. corporations and the wealthiest Americans have taken advantage of tax loopholes by hiding their assets in offshore subsidiaries (a.k.a. tax havens) in order to avoid paying U.S. income taxes. The amount of money hidden in these tax havens and what the lost revenue means to the American people has not been so widely reported.
According to several sources, including the BBC, the non-partisan Congressional Research Service (CRS) and James Henry, former Chief Economist at McKinsey & Company, the top 1% of wealthiest Americans and corporations have deposited between $21 and $32 trillion in tax havens in order to evade U.S. taxes. The top seven U.S. banks, furthermore, account for over $10 trillion in assets in more than 10,000 overseas subsidiaries.

(NaturalNews) Of all the threats to humanity today, none is more destructive than modern-day “evidence-based science.” And by the word “science,” I don’t mean the humble pursuit of knowledge using genuine scientific methods. What I mean is the dogmatic, corporate-driven brand of distorted science based on falsified evidence, bribery of gatekeepers and corruption of government regulators.

North Korea has given South Korean firms an April 10th, 2013 deadline to pull out of the Kaesong Industrial Complex in Korea according to this story from China.org.cn.
In the meantime, the North Korea military has given final approval for a nuclear strike upon the US as shared in the BBC video below. Why the leader of North Korea Kim Jong-Un would put his country in harms way is beyond me; obviously, any nuclear strike upon America will be dealt with in the most severe way by our own military and the complete and total annihilation of North Korea and much of the entire world as a result of such actions are within the realm of possibility should events escalate and the dominoes begin to tumble.
