"No news from Iceland⦠why? How come we hear everything that happens in Egypt but no news about whatâs happening in Iceland: ⦠In Iceland, the people has made the government resign, the primary banks have been nationalized, it was decided to not pay the debt that these created with Great Britain and Holland due to their bad financial politics and a public assembly has been created to rewrite the constitution. And all of this in a peaceful way. A whole revolution against the powers that have created the current crisis. This is why there hasnât been any publicity during the last two years: What would happen if the rest of the EU citizens took this as an example? What would happen if the US citizens took this as an example. This is a summary of the facts: 2008. The main bank of the country is nationalized. The Krona, the currency of Iceland devaluates and the stock market stops. The country is in bankruptcy 2008. The citizens protest in front of parliament and manage to get new elections that make the resignation of the prime minister and his whole government. The country is in bad economic situation. A law proposes paying back the debt to Great Britain and Holland through the payment of 3,500 million euros, which will be paid by the people of Iceland monthly during the next 15 years, with a 5.5% interest. 2010. The people go out in the streets and demand a referendum. In January 2010 the president denies the approval and announces a popular meeting. In March the referendum and the denial of payment is voted in by 93%. Meanwhile the government has initiated an investigation to bring to justice those responsible for the crisis, and many high level executives and bankers are arrested. The Interpol dictates an order that make all the implicated parties leave the country. In this crisis an assembly is elected to rewrite a new Constitution which can include the lessons learned from this, and which will substitute the current one (a copy of the Danish Constitution). 25 citizens are chosen, with no political affiliation, out of the 522 candidates. For candidacy all that was needed was to be an adult and have the support of 30 people. The constitutional assembly starts in February of 2011 to present the âcarta magnaâ from the recommendations given by the different assemblies happening throughout the country. It must be approved by the current Parliament and by the one constituted through the next legislative elections. So in summary of the Icelandic revolution: -resignation of the whole government -nationalization of the bank. -referendum so that the people can decide over the economic decisions. -incarcerating the responsible parties -rewriting of the constitution by its people
Have we been informed of this through the media? Has any political program in radio or TV commented on this? No! The Icelandic people have been able to show that there is a way to beat the system and has given a democracy lesson to the world.
"The government of Iceland has forgiven the mortgage debt for much of its population. This nation chose a very different way of stopping the crisis from the rest of European countries. It decided to hear the requests of the population and to put politicians and bankers on the bench of the accused three years after their financial excesses would sank one of the most prosperous economies in 2008.

This is extremely small. All it says is that people are not bailing out the banks and are accusing the bankers and politicians for the economic crisis (It then makes a HUGE metal leap and assumes that that means they are being literally put on trial for corruption)
Cant you just link them? I have had an issue already of going to copy your thing to quote and hitting the "Open Link" button instead.
This basically states they used Geir Haarde as a scapegoat for all their problems. They didn't make the government resign. They took a prime minister from years ago, yelled "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" and put him into court for it. Not the whole government, not multiple people. Just one scapegoat who probably had noting to do with it.
And I came into this forum posting some news, I did not state where I sided with all I wanted were peoples opinions and if anyone else knew about it as when I read about it i was interested. You seem to be someone who will bring me into a argument that will go in circles and no one will prove anything. But I noticed you are atheist and take part in alot of arguing with christians?

News? From facebook? It isn't news. It is just jumping up at minor facts. "Look! A prime minster is on trial for neglagance! THAT MEANS ICELAND IS NOW A FREE REVOLUTIONIZED STATE! WOO WOO WOO NINETY NINE PERCENT!"

And you seem to be a moron that has no clue what he is talking about. But what does that have to do with the conversation?
I was hoping to get into a different conversation with you. As this one is going no where. But since I must be "a moron that has no clue what he is talking about" I won't even bother, because that most mean I lack knowledge in everything because I made a mistake and didn't please you earlier. Accusing me of being a moron, why? You don't even know me.

Because you post stupid things, like Alien (Capitalized in yours) Sumerian gods coming to destroy the world, random news articles (Look at this! North Korea is launching rocket tests! That must mean that they are about to become a powerful superpower like every other space nation!), and you insisted I am arguing in circles (Which is only because you are a fool).
You don't have to know someone to know they are a moron.
Did I ever say that? I asked if anyone has read about Anunnaki. I wanted to know if any one had researched about them and their supposed involvement with the "end of the world" in 2012. And if you can make stupid rash statements calling me a moron then I can make statements that shouldn't be used too Like how I am on the Top 2% (98th percentile) and qualify for Mensa. So to people who like to make labels, that would make me a "genius" I don't believe I am a genius,I believe I am very smart in some subjects. Not all. As I sure you are too.

They had no involvement. Some looser just made the stories up. It is what people do surrounding 2012.

You already did. In fact, your last two posts have nothing to do with Iceland.

*Clap Clap Clap*. Good for you. I have cured cancer, invented cold fusion, and saved the world from Ancient Alien Sumerian God Alien Robot Spider Dinosaurs. That still has nothing to do with Iceland.
Moron.
I don't believe I am a genius,I believe I am very smart in some subjects. Not all. As I sure you are too.
I will have you know that I have extensive knowledge in all things animal, vegitible, and mineral. Especially Iceland. The thing we are supposed to be talking about.
