Icelanders Overthrow Government and Rewrite Cons ution After Banking Fraud-No Word From US Media
Las Vegas Guardian Express

http://guardianlv.com/2013/12/icelan...from-us-media/Can you imagine participating in a protest outside the White House and forcing the entire U.S. government to resign? Can you imagine a group of randomly chosen private citizens rewriting the U.S. cons ution to include measures banning corporate fraud? It seems incomprehensible in the U.S., but Icelanders did just that. Icelanders forced their entire government to resign after a banking fraud scandal, overthrowing the ruling party and creating a citizen’s group tasked with writing a new cons ution that offered a solution to prevent corporate greed from destroying the country. The cons ution of Iceland was scrapped and is being rewritten by private citizens; using a crowd-sourcing technique via social media channels such as Facebook and Twitter. These events have been going on since 2008, yet there’s been no word from the U.S. mainstream media about any of them. In fact, all of the events that unfolded were recorded by international journalists, overseas news bureaus, citizen journalists and bloggers. This has created current accusations of an intentional cover up of the story by mainstream U.S. news sources.
An “iReport” on CNN, written by a private citizen in May 2012, has questioned the reasons why this revolution has not been widely covered in the U.S., suggesting that perhaps the mainstream media is controlled by large corporate interests and thus has been unwilling to report on Iceland’s activities. That report is currently making its way around social media. CNN today placed a statement on its website saying: “We’ve noticed this iReport is being shared widely on Facebook and Twitter. Please note that this article was posted in May 2012. CNN has not yet verified the claims and we’re working to track down the original writer.” It is interesting to note that CNN’s European version, CNN Europe, already covered the story of the protests and the government’s resignation, leading many to question why CNN would now need to “look into” the claims.
Besides CNN Europe’s own coverage of the scandal, the events in Iceland were widely covered by international media and are easily verified by a simple search on Google which leads to a variety of reputable international news sources that ran numerous stories on the Icelandic revolution. A whole do entary has been made on the governmental overthrow called Pots, Pans and Other Solutions, and now, the conversation is focused on whether or not the citizens’ actions actually worked to make Iceland a more equitable nation.
To understand the enormity of what happened in Iceland, it’s best to draw parallels between the initial banking fraud that caused Iceland’s economy to collapse and the banking fraud in the U.S. that caused the mortgage crisis six years ago...>more
Whereas, the current United States House of Representatives has become impotent and incapable of pursuing their duties as set forth in the Cons ution:
Whereas, collectively the House of Representatives has acted in malfeasance in office by egregiously not performing their duties as set forth in the Cons ution and acted with great negligence and carelessness in performing their duties:
Whereas, collectively the House of Representatives has acted in nonfeasance in office by not acting on legislation or obstructing legislation before them for more than the last four years:
Whereas the American people by overwhelmingly electing Barack Obama President of the United States expect the platform on which he ran be implemented:
We The People pe ion the President of the United States to:
Declare that the United States is in a state of emergency.
Dissolve the House of Representatives, and evict them and their staff from federal property.
Instruct the states to hold general elections immediately to replace their representation in congress within 1 month on the condition that no currently sitting congressman or former congressman or senator be eligible to run.
Assign members of the Senate to fill in for the congressmen on their committees or appoint citizens to run those committees.
Furthermore, we pe ion that this be acted on now using federal troops if necessary.
Signed: We The People
This is awesome
But yeah this article screams Anti-Obama agenda
I think it's great, but has potential problems.
Dan...
Once again, you fail to verify the accuracy of stories...
Fox News 11/26/10
USA Today 6/12/11
CNN 5/8/12

http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-787377So 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 cons ution 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 corruption of the US govt and state govts into a corporatocracies is hardly Obama's fault, whom you seem to think is a dictatorial king-like figure orchestrating everything.This is awesome
But yeah this article screams Anti-Obama agenda
Don't feel bad, you're not alone, lots of other simpletons think the same way about any President. Expected when most Americans are dumbed down sheeple, serfs, wage/debt slaves.
Crap like healthcare.gov's problem causing Obama's approval ratings to drop as if he specified, wrote, and was debugging every single line of code by himself.
Iceland is only 320K people, about 1/6 the size of greater San Antonio, and greater Reykjavík is about 200K.
and don't expect anything like this to happen in ed-and-un able USA or in any state.
Even some Dems, Third Way, are horrified by and are trashing a revolutionary like Liz Warren.

Who was the idiot that allowed Iceland to join the global market, hey had everything they needed to maintain a society.
Iceland lived in sheet/corregated metal huts, and sod huts until the American cold warriors showed up and installed Russia-watching/early-warning stuff and pumped $10Ms into dirt-poor Iceland, in the 40s, 50s.
Strange how you guys admire anti-govt types in other countries.
But, with a Democrat as POTUS and a Wall Street-friendly cabinet.....?
Well I saw a do entary about Norway or maybe it was Iceland were it showed they had a good economy until they allowed global banking. It seems like everyone who is part of the global banking system gets worsts.

Hilarious how you right-wingers are only anti-govt when your party isn't in govt, and and esp when the other party's Pres is a n!gg@.Strange how you guys admire anti-govt types in other countries.
But, with a Democrat as POTUS and a Wall Street-friendly cabinet.....?
it certainly wasn't Norway.
Not even 1/3 the population of San Antonio...
I think government has to be a bit more responsive. This is like Northside Indepedent School district voters throwing the board out for corruption. A country who has an economy that revolves almost totally around financial services is naturally going to be a bit shaky if not run properly.
But Iceland gave us Bjork. She had a plan to use clouds for currency.

Cod, sheep and geothermal energy.
I don't disbelieve you, but it'd be interesting to see your support for that.
and puffin burgers!
"dirt poor" = a lump of lava in the middle of the ocean. gulf stream keeps it from extreme cold. very cool place to visit, moonscape, glaciers, volcanoes, lava flows, lakes, waterfalls, and THIN Scandanavian women.
the TV parabolas are VERTICAL to see the geo stationary satellites much to the south
That cracka Clinton had 100% support of the GOP in the 90's IIRC.
What the universe are you in where the GOP impeaching Clinton equates to 100% GOP support?
and people say Americans aren't brainwashed.
Pretty nice metal huts tbh...
Sarcasm detection fail
It's hard to tell which stupid you say is honest and which is sarcasm tbh
