What do you think? (18)

Wikileaks EU document
Great, revealing, credible interview that's well worth bringing to the attention of the oblivious & dubious.

Wikileaks.org appears to be temporarily suspended (see link in full list above). If anyone has a link to a copy of the proposed "Fortress EU" (that's not the name BTW) lockdown agenda internal document that Birgitta refers as being posted at that site then please post it here.

A follow up interview would be interesting to see how Icelandic developments manifest.

a country sitting on top of unlimited geothermal power is going bankrupt. years ago I heard of theories going around that iceland would try to get a big manufacturing base and use the geothermal power to power its industry. When I heard that I thought seriously of moving there if the idea took off. I guess the people behind that didnt get very far.

I agree with the comparison to africa. One of the richest continents in minerals, metals, and agriculture, is slowly starving to death.

Enough.
Hi Birgitte,
You are doing fantastic work, it is not easy to expose the links between the banks the oligharcs and the corporations. Africa is rife with this kind of empire building at the expense of ordinary citizens. Secret and even not so secret deals are done by government officials, banks and mining corporations here in clear flouting of so much of our legislation. Very few contest this or even know how.

Amazing Show
Birgitta is a hero.

HEY! We don't print money out of thin air, you goof ball.... we borrow it from the Chinese. Because they have our money because we like to buy their cheap lead painted products and inferior stuff. Get with the program! Just another way to ruin the future for generations to come.

An enlightening interview
This was a very good interview. All people from all countries can learn from Iceland's experience-I have great admiration and respect for the Icelandic people and their courage to take on European Bankers and the IMF-

Supporting the people of Iceland in their fight is supporting our own countries as well.

What a frustrating fate for such good people. I hope we can all give them the support they need - no doubt we'll all need such help eventually. Birgitta's a very inspirational woman!

glad she is working for the hard working citizens of Iceland. we need more people like this in our society and stand united with them.

Beyond Dichotomy
It is an absolite disgrace, then again these people are parasites so they act accordingly. It's great to see that Birgitta is approaching this conundrum beyond the left-right paradigm, success is inevitable! All must stand as individuals united :)

Smoke out those maggots
It warms my heart to know there are people such as Birgitta Jonsdottir doing what they do. Godspeed!

Great work Henrik.

#7 - Dave - 01/26/2010 - 04:33
We'll follow this story and have Birgitta back with us again for an update from Iceland.
#6 - Henrik Palmgren - 01/26/2010 - 02:46
Thank you, Henrik. This is an issue I'd never know much about without your show.
This woman gives me hope that we will all stand up someday and say "Enough!"

Great British Morals
This makes me think of Monty Python's Meaning of life and the flying bankers. Another example would be Mary Poppins with the children crying and demanding their money back to feed the birds.
#4 - Melinda - 01/25/2010 - 09:26
My best wishes to Iceland, and hopes for the future where everyone can see the IMF world bank for what they are and what they do.

Its sad that it has to come to our collective door step before we really see how they operate and have been operating for the last 40 or so years.

About to listen
Fantastic, Henrik. Nice to see you now allow comments. I'm looking forward to listening to this episode. Based on your comment, it sounds very interesting indeed.

Iceland leading the way?
Iceland could be leading the way, an example for the rest of us on how to pull out of the corporate world bank/debt system. Go Iceland!
