Iceland's amazing and peaceful revolution - still not in the newsIceland’s peaceful revolution is a stunning example of how little our media tells us about the rest of the world. Meanwhile, over 200 people, including the former chief executives of Iceland’s three biggest banks, face criminal charges. But still 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 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. 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. 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. 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: This is significant stuff. 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.

Melbourne Protests also has a couple of interesting links
This post is perhaps not unconnected to the message painted on the wall of the former Dante's in Gertrude Street - see Melbourne Protest weblog http://melbourneprotests.wordpress.com/2012/08/16/iceland-in-melbourne-g...
Melbourne Protests also has a couple of links that may be of interest. Whether or not there had been a deliberate media blackout in Australia about events in Iceland, there has certainly been a lot happening there ...
