Iceland’s peaceful revolution is a stunning example of how little our media tells us about the rest of the world.
Read details about Iceland’s wonderful social evolution at DailyKos, here.
Another great article is on Bloomberg.com.
The following summation has been posted by countless people on Facebook; I’ve reposted it in its entirety:
ICELAND (GP) – No news from Iceland? Why? Last we heard, people were rising up and overthrowing the bankers. Then, no news on the television or newspapers for two years. What happened? Why won’t the papers and TV tell us how the bankers successfully crushed or minimized another rebellion? Because… THEY DIDN’T! This time, the people won.
The people of Iceland have overwhelmingly risen up and forced their government puppets of the banks to resign. Primary banks have been nationalized. The debt scam imposed by Great Britain and Holland money printers was declared null and void. A public assembly has been created to rewrite Iceland’s constitution.
The best part is, all of this happened without violence or bloodshed. A whole country’s revolution succeeded against powers that created the current global crisis without a shot being fired. A very good reason exists for the apparent failure of television and newspapers to provide any publicity on this unprecedented event: what would happen if the rest of the EU and the United States took this as an example?
The following is a summary of the facts:
2008 – The main bank of Iceland is nationalized.
The Krona, the currency of Iceland devaluates and the stock market halts. The country is in bankruptcy
2008 – Citizens rise up at Parliament and succeed in forcing the resignation of both the prime minister and the effective government. New elections are held.
Yet, the country remains in a bad economic situation. A Parliament act is passed to pay back 3,500 million Euros to Great Britain and Holland by the people of Iceland monthly during the next 15 years, with 5.5% interest.
2010 – The people of Iceland again take to the streets to demand a referendum. In January of 2010, the President of Iceland denies approval, instead announcing a popular vote on the matter by the people.
In March, a referendum and denial of payment is approved by popular vote of 93%. Meanwhile, government officials initiate an investigation to bring to justice those responsible for the crisis. Many high level executives and bankers are arrested. Interpol dictates an order to force all implicated parties to leave Iceland.
An assembly is elected to write a new constitution (based on the Denmark’s) to avoid entrapments of debt based currency foreign loans. 25 citizens are chosen — with no political affiliation — out of the 522 candidates. The only qualifications for candidacy are adulthood and the support of 30 people. The constitutional assembly started in February of 2011. It continues to present ‘carta magna’ from recommendations provided by various assemblies throughout the country. Ultimately, it must be approved by both the current Parliament and the one created through the next legislative election.

In summary of the Icelandic revolution, we saw:
-resignation of the entire corrupt government of the country
-nationalization of the bank
-referendum enabling the people to determine their own economic system
-incarceration of responsible parties, and
-a rewriting of the Iceland Constitution by its people
-nationalization of the bank
-referendum enabling the people to determine their own economic system
-incarceration of responsible parties, and
-a rewriting of the Iceland Constitution by its people
This is significant stuff.
Have we been informed about this through the main stream media?
Has any political program on radio or TV commented on this?
Not that I’ve seen. The Icelandic people have demonstrated a way to beat the international money printers and controllers of information. The last thing entrenched usurers would want is for you to think you could also free yourself from their chains.

If the people of Iceland can successfully accomplish the release from tyranny for their nation, and do it non-violently, then WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH US TOUGH AMERICANS THAT WE HAVEN'T DONE IT???? WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR? MORE OF THE RUSSIANS AND CHINESE TO ARRIVE TO SHOOT US FIRST?? Start in Washington, DC - the district of criminals - and take them ALL out. Take out the heads and the rest of the body will be looking for someone to give them orders and direction. Result - confusion in their ranks and dissolution of their tyrannical system that enslaves us. DO WE REALLY WANT OUR FREEDOM? OR ARE AMERICANS CONTENT TO BE EVEN MORE DEEPLY ENSLAVED AND PERHAPS THE BEGINNING OF THE KILLING FIELDS THIS SUMMER IF DHS IS ALLOWED TO HAVE IT'S WAY WITH US.
Who can the sovereign republic of Texas Nation contact for negotiations between our country and yours.
The GFL have said lately and made very clear that Iceland is to be an example for other nations & lead the way for other countries to follow their example of how to fix the problem. Mr.Ed
