Will the majority, vote to stop the investigation of the national bankruptcy of Iceland, by interfering in the proceedings of the impeachment court, – with the removal of the special prosecutors office to follow?

It is said that parliamentarians connected to the murky waters of the previous administration have been blackmailed and threatened with exposure.

It is also said that, members of parliament who through the years have advocated transparent governance and claimed to be champions for the “public interest”, are about to reveal their true nature.

Language, it’s use and it’s control, is said to reflect the reality of a nation. There are no words in Icelandic for competence  and accountability.

The SIC Report (8.11.2) stopped at overall debt position of more than 100 million, so these figures (p. 165 – 167) are peanuts, what’s interesting is the correlation.

Lessig tells the story of a mouse, Mickey Mouse, how the concept was first “creatively adapted” and then repeatedly used to extend copyright laws which by the way were never intended to be indefinite.

Falkwinge reminded us of one of the biggest companies in Stockholm and how it one day was no more after the invention of the fridge.  ~ Loom breaking was an earlier example.

Dodgy digits, on job-losses, CD sales and the ‘illegality’ of download are just common tactics of the copyright industry.

Stallman has suggested direct “micro payments” to your favorite artist thus bypassing the corporate middlemen

In this country the media and the entertainment industry is owned by the same people, so the disinformation coming from the public relations people (who have replaced journalists) is just contemptuous.

Lets end corporate control of our public space.

In his book, Johann looks at the web of power and corruption, the far reaching and disastrous outcome, and the habitual inability to face this daemon, – thus it continues*.

In a “micro” nation, where close-up and personal has profound consequences socially, politically, and economicall, – his courage is commendable.

* Petit échantillon: Large part of the electorate take pleasure in electing convicted villain/parliamentarian, conveniently pardoned by the Prime Minister, the President of Parliament and the President of the Supreme Court. And now parliament is in a frenzy to withdraw its narrow margin referral of the former Prime Minister to the Court of Impeachment, thus saving him from the clutches of his close friends. – It fills my heart with pride.

Now at last airing on TV, Charles H. Ferguson won an Oscar for his documentary of the financial industry. The film shows how Wall Street not only used prostitutes and coke, but prostituted lawmakers, academia, lawyers, economists, auditors, rating agencies, and the media or just anyone in their quest for silly money.

Now the banking cartell is replacing democracy in the EU, using Merkel and the French clown to remove the remnants of financial independence from the continent.
