In 2008, when the worlwide financial crisis emerged, all three of Iceland’s major privately owned commercial banks collapsed. At this major economic and political event bankers were jailed , politicians were replaced and NO SHOTS WERE FIRED.

In 2008, just one year after the global financial crisis started, Iceland’s economy was hugely affected by the domino effect of the globally dependent financial relations to the world bank and to the IMF.
Shortly after that, the citizen’s of Iceland forced the resignation of both the prime minister and the effective government.
In 2010, when the prime minister was indicted, over 200 criminal charges were filed against the bankers and all of the former CEOs of the 3 biggest banks were arrested. Others were forced to leave the country.
An assembly got elected to write a new constitution to avoid entrapments of debt. Twentyfive citizens were chosen – “with no political affiliation” – the only Qualifications for candidacy were adulthood and the support of 30 people.
The new government forgave debt exceeding 100% of home values.
Hördur Torfason was the main organizer of the Icelandic Revolution and the man who overthrew the Iceland’s government.
As the 23rd day of war in Gaza continues, the death toll has now risen to a staggering 1359 and 7677 injured. Over the course of this brutal war, now dubbed the “Israel-Gaza conflict,” (WordPlay) the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) has condemned Israel for the bombing and shelling of several schools, hospitals and homes, where civilian casualties have been over 80%.
Earlier today , the Gaza health ministry announced a hospital sheltering more than 3,000 Palestinians was shelled earlier that morning leaving 106 people dead and becoming the 5th hospital attack. The most civilians killed in a day thus far. Israel, attempting to appear humanitarian, claims to have warned civilians by utilizing the “roof knocking” technique to warn citizens of an imminent attack and to evacuate as soon as possible. Leaflets and small non-explosive devices are dropped over the city as a warning and moments later an incoming air strike precisely takes out the target. Peter Lerner, a spokesman for the Israeli military said in an email, “When arms depots or military targets are deployed within residential areas, the IDF calls residents with a warning minutes before the strike, in order to provide residents time to evacuate,” he continued. “If residents fail to comply, a small non-explosive munition is used to convey the seriousness of the warning, prior to the strike. Finally, only after visual confirmation that civilians have exited the premises does the IDF approve the strike.”
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon publicly condemned the attacks on Wednesday labeling them as “outrageous” and “unjustifiable.” Upon his arrival in San Jose, Costa Rica he stated “nothing is more shameful than attacking sleeping children.” After a school was recently destroyed, an official from the UN, Spokesman Chris Gunness stated, ” Israel had been told 17 times that the school was housing displaced people,” also saying “the attack caused ‘universal shame.'”
Any humanitarian windows that were open, were quickly shut as Israeli and Hamas weaponry anxiously continued to fight, giving neither side any chance to rest. While both sides aggressively maintain their course, western influence has made their attempts at a truce. Last week, Secretary John Kerry went to Egypt to broker a deal between the two, and not surprisingly, coming back empty handed. Although thousands of rockets have been fired at Israel by Hamas, little casualties have been reported by Israel (57 soldiers and a few civilians)and the Iron Dome has proven a mighty defense tactic against the lesser technologically advanced Hamas.
Going forward, the rhetoric is the same and the demands remain unchanged. Over the past 23 days, the World has seen as a humanitarian crisis viewed live by millions of people around the world via live feeds, twitter and major social media outlets.
“Operation Protective Edge” has done little protecting of human life while hospitals, schools and homes were targeted, and thousands of civilians have died, all in the name of Israeli defense. As 1 child continues to die every hour, Israel pushes it’s ground offensive further into Gaza. Drones continue to surveillance from the sky, calling in targets with extreme precision, while Israeli citizens gather atop a hill to watch as Gaza remains under attack and turns into an all out war, with an obvious underdog.
How to Stop the U.S. War of Aggression Against Russia and a possible World War 3?
There is something very ugly and menacing brewing on the horizon. For many decades, humanity was hoping and praying that it would not come to that. The Western psychopathic powers that be, however, are purposefully and intentionally steering humankind towards exactly that dreaded event: A military war between the USA and Russia and one in which the USA is the aggressor. I would love to go into the financial, historical and political background of this, but time is of the essence: That insanity, of which the (US-controlled) EU is just as guilty, must be stopped immediately before we reach a point of no return behind which only death and destruction awaits. As such, I have devised a public action plan for immediate peace (PAPIP) with which we, the 99% who want to live in peace, can hopefully stop this rapidly approaching insanity. In order for this to work, I need your help though and lots of it, and I hope that you will give it since peace would also be in your best interests. So here goes the
PUBLIC ACTION PLAN for IMMEDIATE PEACE (PAPIP)
1) You need to wake up to the kind of game that is being played here. Stop buying into mainstream media (MSM) lies and propaganda and do the thinking for yourself. The facts are: Flight MH17 crashed or got shot down over Eastern Ukraine and, without being able to present any evidence, Ukraine and Western political figures and media channels immediately started to blame Putin and Russia for this (=propaganda war of aggression). Based on these stories in which Russia is falsely accused of being the evil aggressor, USA and EU then imposed and continue to impose harsh economic sanctions against Russia (=economic war of aggression), a measure that is also hurting people in the USA and the EU. Thirdly, Russia is encircled by U.S. military bases and the U.S./NATO is moving its troops into Ukraine, a country that borders on Russia and is openly hostile to it and whose leadership has organized ethnic killings against Russians. This means that, beyond the already existing propaganda and economic war of aggression, we are also looking at a currently rather likely military war of aggression against Russia.
So then how can Russia be the evil aggressor here??? The fascist aggressors clearly are Ukraine’s puppet regime of oligarchs and ultra-rightwing nationalists and more so the U.S.-centered Evil Empire (allusion to Star Wars fully intended) that is pulling the strings behind these events. The motivation is the usual one: Grab power and incite war for maximum profit of the 1%ers.
2) After you have woken up to the political reality of the Ukrainian puppet theater, you (yes: YOU PERSONALLY) need to take public action, because so far, wars only worked with whipping up public support: If the Evil Empire aggressors succeed in making the public falsely believe that Russia or other countries (Iraq, Libya, etc.) are the aggressors, then the psychopathic Evil Empire can go ahead with their soon to be military and possibly even nuclear World War III. You therefore need to ask yourself: “Do I want to see a military war between the USA and Russia that could potentially lay the entire world to ashes?” If the answer to that is “no”, then you (yes: YOU PERSONALLY, the reader of these lines) need to take action. In that respect, my recommendations would be the following:
2a) Talk with as many people as you can about this and make them aware of what is happening, both live and electronically. It would be awesome it you could make others see who is really the aggressor in the Ukraine conflict (and by cutting out on MSM bullshit, just looking at the facts and having some background knowledge it is easy to see who that is). Most importantly though, you need to get a discussion going and make this affair a matter of public interest and concern.
The people of the world need to realize that we are on the brink of WW3 and that, if this goes through, this may very well be the endgame victory for the Evil Empire (the population culled by the billions, Russia and also Europe economically destroyed or even reduced to a nuclear wasteland, while the psychopaths in power sit this out in their atomic bunkers and celebrate, with more power and money to themselves). To help prevent this from happening, talk about this subject with as many people as you can, post links on facebook and twitter, send mass emails with links to informative non-MSM articles about the situation in Ukraine and Russia to as many people as you can. Overall: Do your part in waking the public up to what the evil psychopaths in power are doing there and elsewhere.
2b) Secondly, you need to let your politicians know that they and their plans have been found out about. Politicians are by and large whores who sell out to the highest bidder (my apologies to any sex workers for comparing you with a politician), but they also like to be re-elected and for that they (currently still) need you. More than that though, the Evil Empire needs dormant and dumbed down masses because you are the 99% and they are the 1%. As such, they can only carry out their plans from the shadows when we, the 99 out of a 100, do not find out about them and go along with them in our ignorance.
So the more people know about the Evil Empire’s plans and about what is really happening in Ukraine and Russia, the better, because when soldiers no longer fight for them, when public officials no longer work for them, when journalists and reporters no longer spread their lies, and when, in short, the people go to the streets worldwide (instead of watching various sports events whose only purpose is to distract us from more important things), then the Evil Empire ‘elites’ can no longer carry out their wars or other crimes against us, the 99%.
As such, you need to let the politicians of especially the USA and the EU know that they have been found out about and that you are no longer willing to go along with their propagandistic, economic and military war of aggression against Russia that could very well lead to an all-devastating nuclear WW3. Instead, you need to let them know that peace is important to you and that, if they do not support peace and immediately stop their psychopathic war of aggression against Russia, you will stop supporting them and the entire system: going to the streets, mass strikes, etc. What this world needs right now, besides a grand awaking, is CIVIL RESISTANCE against the madness of a potentially nuclear war that the Evil Empire is trying to inflict on this world (the economic war of aggression has already started a long time ago).
As for how to go about it: Create petitions, in particular via http://avaaz.org/en/, and address them to powerful political figures or organisations like U.S. president Obama, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, or the EU Commission. Demand an immediate stop of the propagandistic and economic U.S. and EU war of aggression against Russia, and voice your strong concern about the very real possibility of military war between two nuclear superpowers. Demand truly independent investigation of the MH17 plane crash. Demand UN peacekeeping troops to be stationed in Eastern Ukraine. In short: 1) WAKE UP and 2) DO SOMETHING TO PRESERVE PEACE BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.
To start with (note the the average Westerner’s mind has been thoroughly brainwashed by Western MSM propaganda to the tones of “USA = good, Russia = evil”), I suggest reading the following articles which are not from Western MSM and where similar warnings are uttered. Then, after you have de-brainwashed yourself, take public action for peace – unless of course you want the U.S.-centered Evil Empire to win. In that case all you need to do is sit back and watch the world being destroyed by Western psychopaths in power.
Ha! I will finally be able to catch whomever is stealing my cookies! And they will never know I am there!
Yes, another new concept of “I spy” technology is in the works. Lasers , lasers, lasers… it’s not really a new technology. They are used for everything from scanning your groceries for price to projecting holographic images to destroying missiles midair. Video games have used laser imaging for years. NOW we want to see you without seeing you. Everyone from perverts to 007 can benefit from this one (insert evil smirk here).
Prof. Matthias Hullin from the Institute of Computer Science II at the University of Bonn
The process of the technology is relatively simple. We can use sonar as a loose reference for now. SONAR (SOund Navigation And Ranging) sends out a “ping” which is kind of like a powerful musical note through water. When it hits something the ping is reflected back to the source. A fancy hi tech computer measures exactly how long it takes for that ping to go out and come back, does some really fast arithmetic and spits out how far away that object is. Got it? Direct Laser imaging works roughly the same way. The laser obviously moves a heck of a lot faster. So fast in fact, that it can be pulsed at a high enough rate to create 3d pictures. This particular piece of apparatus whips out diffused laser beams (beams that are spread apart), bounces them off a wall, a window or something, and around a corner. Now the tricky part; the little camera-computer still measures the time the beams take to come back but, also figures out the angles they come back at, reflectivity and a bunch of other parameters to build a picture of what’s behind door number one. Oh… as long as whatever the laser is being shot at actually bounces off of the object in question.
Benefits? Detriments? Take your pick, there’s a good pile of both if you overwork a conspiracy theorist’s mind. If a compact portable version i.e. “helmet mounted” is ever perfected it would save the lives of law enforcement officers, soldiers in urban combat, or even a basic defense against creepers in dark parking garages. At the same time? If a compact portable version i.e. “helmet mounted” is ever perfected? Once again there is another strand of rope around the sheep’s throat. You know darn well it won’t be for hunting aliens. I see this whole project as yet another step toward the demise of freedom. Can you imagine a fleet or mini gyro-copter drones with this technology? Maybe little hockey puck robots that the law turns loose when they are searching for someone… I think I saw that in a couple movies. You wouldn’t be safe taking a pee with the curtain open. So, how does THIS benefit the world again?
The new 166 paged government leaked document reveals information about how the US government are putting people on the terrorist list for no real reason.
The latest government leak is no other than the “March 2013 watchlisting guidance” it was issued as an update to the original 2010 document, the document states how they put people on the main terrorist database and also the no fly list causing big scenes at airports and border control. The new guideline points out that any individual can be selected and designated as a representative or member of a terrorist organization even if there is no real proof of their participants in such groups.
Getting onto the watch list:
The watch list has many ways of getting on to it, the document states that any person who damages government property or damages government computer data can get themselves onto the list, another way is just to be selected by a high up member any reasonable suspicion at all can also get you onto the list but for the government “reasonable suspicion” could mean anything or nothing at all.
What if you are on the list?
If the government suspect that you are a terrorist then they then get the ability to be able to gather and research as much information about you as they want, this includes hacking into your computer, tapping into your phone calls and messages even invading your home and privacy. The government has made sure that if you are on the list then you will not know about it, and once you are on the list it is near to impossible to get off; even death does not guarantee getting off this list. If you are married to someone on the list then you have a much bigger chance of also going on it and once your spouse passes on that chance gets even greater.
Here is an example of what happens when you are on the list:
Try not to worry too much about being on the list as you most likely aren’t, but you never know especially if you don’t have a clean slate.
How can you protect yourself against surveillance?
You can hide your ip and therefore your identity when you are surfing or in general when you are online. Using a so called VPN (virtual private machine) will not only hide your ip but also protect all your devices (that you are using for internet access) from hackers and other threats.
