Crazyemailsandbackstory \u2013 May 12, 2012<\/h1>\n

Iceland\u2019s peaceful revolution is a stunning example of how little our media tells us about the rest of the world.<\/h5>\n
Read details about Iceland\u2019s wonderful social evolution at DailyKos, here<\/span><\/a>.<\/h5>\n
Another great article is\u00a0 on Bloomberg.com<\/span>.<\/a><\/h5>\n
The\u00a0 following summation has been posted by countless people on Facebook; I\u2019ve reposted it in its entirety:<\/h5>\n
ICELAND (GP) \u2013 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\u2019t the papers and TV tell us how the bankers successfully crushed or minimized another rebellion? Because\u2026 THEY DIDN\u2019T!<\/h5>\n
This time, the people won.<\/h5>\n
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\u2019s constitution.<\/h5>\n
The best part is, all of this happened without violence or bloodshed. A whole country\u2019s 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?<\/em><\/h5>\n
The following is a summary of the facts:<\/h5>\n
2008 \u2013 The main bank of Iceland is nationalized.
\nThe Krona, the currency of Iceland devaluates and the stock market halts. The country is in bankruptcy.<\/h5>\n
2008 \u2013 Citizens rise up at Parliament and succeed in forcing the resignation of both the prime minister and the effective government. New elections are held.<\/h5>\n
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.<\/h5>\n
2010 \u2013 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.<\/h5>\n
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.<\/h5>\n
An assembly is elected to write a new constitution (based on the Denmark\u2019s) to avoid entrapments of debt based currency foreign loans. 25 citizens are chosen \u2014 with no political affiliation \u2014 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 \u2018carta magna\u2019 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.<\/h5>\n
In summary of the Icelandic revolution, we saw:
\n-resignation of the entire corrupt government of the country
\n-nationalization of the bank
\n-referendum enabling the people to determine their own economic system
\n-incarceration of responsible parties, and
\n-a rewriting of the Iceland Constitution by its people<\/em><\/h5>\n
This is significant stuff.<\/em><\/h5>\n
Have we been informed about this through the main stream media?
\nHas any political program on radio or TV commented on this?<\/h5>\n
Not that I\u2019ve 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.<\/h5>\n
