*** Iceland free of debt and no financial crisis -- they allowed the banks to FAIL ***
Iceland’s President Olafur R. Grimsson said his country is better off than Ireland thanks to the government’s decision to allow the banks to fail two years ago and because the krona could be devalued.

The difference is that in Iceland we allowed the banks to fail,” Grimsson said in an interview with Bloomberg Television’s Mark Barton today. “These were private banks and we didn’t pump money into them in order to keep them going; the state did not shoulder the responsibility of the failed private banks.”

Look people, there's a lesson here. The banks and too-big-to-fail businesses because insolvent thru open criminal activity. The only reason they are being bailed out is because they are so intertwined in the politics of many nations.

This is a artificially manufactured crisis designed to shift the wealth from the lower and middle class to the elite. Are we going to let them win?

Our banks ( US) support the capital markets of the whole world. Iceland's banks support a whaleing ship and crew.

Our banks (US) and our "government" loot the capital markets of the whole world. Iceland's banks and government represents and supports their people. Apples to oranges.

The IMF is an international fraud. Proven by whistleblowers on the inside.

Iceland simply needs to repudiate the debt. After all, being defrauded is a perfectly good reason to reject the debt.

History shows without exception that the bankers will simply hire military tyrants in such cases. There is always some dickhead who will take a few coins and kill his fellow man, so the coin-holders can pick from their choice of destruction. BUT the wild card is that Icelanders know how to lay low and dig deep like the Indians. So if they get a little support, they could theoretically survive every tyrannical means the IMF tries to apply in collection.

And the 1.5 quadrillion derivative bullshit.

The difference; you can use a whaling ship to catch whajes but all you can do is burn paper securities that are worthless.
