I've been paying attention to this, and all I can say is, whatever you do, do NOT let the IMF bail you out, do NOT let UK bail you out. I've read that Russia is willing to help. If so, I'd be more willing to accept their help, but of course, due diligence is still required. However, Russia has gone through their own battle with the international bankers, and Russia needs help. I think they'd be more sympathetic and empathetic to your plight. Iceland is a strategic military location and like you said has lots of hard assets--fishing, energy, etc. The illuminati love to make you feel like you have nothing to offer and say they are the ones taking all the risk when it's quite the opposite. Tell them to go to hell.

you forgot to mention the startegic importance of icelands location as well

with the freshly emerging russia bieng seen as a threat politcal control of iceland and its waters are of massive strategic importance on limiting russia's naval movments and access to the world at large

this also pans out in russia's actions offering to help out iceland with the equivalent of 4 billion pounds sterling

the actions of my goverment are a blatant miss use of terrorism laws(isnt every use of them) i hope russia comes through for you guys i dont think help from europe or america will be forthcomming till we get exactly what we want from iceland which i seriously dought will be a good thing for you

**dam you sneaked in there and said what i did maybe i should type faster **

this is designed to force Iceland into the EU, which will bring mass immigration and dependence on the Illuminati.
It is quite easy for iceland to get out of this mess.
Make a printing press, and start using honest money.
But the corrupt elements in Icelands government will not do this, they are all manipulated, miracle they are not in the EU already, but they will be.

Economic imperialism eh? I didnt think Brown was clever enough to engage in such activities.

In all fairness, Brown was trying to protect the members of the British public who had money in Icelandic banks. Whats perhaps most damning is that British councils had their money invested in Iceland!

We'll see what happens. I acknowledge that Brown's acts have been done with an iron fist though... he is going to brutalise any country in order to get money back to British citizens so that he can tax them!

Oh yeah!! How ironic was that? Infuse all that money to unfreeze the banks so that UK investors could pull out and then be taxed out the wazoo for doing so.

If anything it left Iceland in worse shape and the UK investors were first to pay for the privilege of watching a sinking ship.

As an English man.

I feel disgusted for what our country is doing to Iceland.

Shame on us.

Just more proof to the way USA and their allies conduct their affairs they plot and destroy such great things for their own gains #ers!!

The IMF press conference has just ended and the agreement made with Icelandic government includes 2b $ loan from the IMF and 4b $ loan from "others" during the next 2 years.

The IMF people were very vague and did not really answer any questions from the media other than Iceland needed 6b $ to cover its debt for the next 2 years. They refused to answer if taxes would be raised and they did not know what other countries would fill in the 4b $ gap.

Happy now Mr. Brown?

Say hello to all those Siggies & Dottirs! I had Icelandic neighbors and know what interesting and friendly people they are. That said... may I add to the paranoia. My neighbors were... how do I say this... "significantly connected". They said years ago that Icelanders don't even want to come to the USA anymore because it is so "fascist... just like the Nazi's". Iceland ain't that big... 300,000 or so... that kind of sentiment probably reflects the general feelings of Iceland towards the NWO. Do you get where I am going? Iceland may have been targeted as too "tight/autonomous" and needed to be "cracked" so that the NWO could get inside your tightly knit society. You are now owned by "outside sources". Do you believe this to be by accident? Interesting that Russia stands up to NATO aggression in Georgia and may now be in the same economic predicament as Icelanders. Controlling the worlds economies is so much more effective than physically destroying a "rogue" nation by brute force. Icelanders..... I think you have been "had". Welcome to the "real world". You may never again feel "autonomous/Icelandic".

This is the most important thread on ATS. Something is afoot in the world. No one knows for sure what it is. Whatever it is, it's starting in Iceland. We need to all follow this story daily in the MSM and the alternative media.
