Iceland Citizens Overthrow Government and US New Outlets Won't Report It.

I guess they don't want us getting any funny ideas.

Icelanders Overthrow Government and Rewrite Constitution After Banking Fraud-No Word From US Media

P.S.: I am not advocating a government takeover or a treasonous act of any kind.

I thought I remember hearing about this some time back. The twitter constitution thing, I remember catching my attention. Can you imagine the constitution we'd end up with if we put it up to the number of "likes" and/or retweets an idea got.

We can "over throw our government" every 2-4-6 years. It's called an election but most people aren't smart enough to do anything about it. When I ask the average Joe that is complaining if they vote 80% say no. There's the problem!

First I've heard of it.

We'd get the one Obama is acting like he has.

We'd probably end up with one that eerily looks like the old Soviet constitution.....oh! yeah, I guess you're right after all.

They probably haven't reported it because no one in the US gives two poos what happens in Iceland.

But we get news from lots of places that no one in the US cares about.

Or the some that do vote don't do their own research on their candidates and vote solely on which one the media makes sound cool/popular whatever

The "reset" that some folks talk about on INGO will not go our way. The government has had plans to suspend the Constitution in case of an emergency. It won't matter who is in the White House. They didn't just start prepping when Obama came to the White House. They could have an "emergency" any time they wanted.

Name a news story from Iceland in your lifetime.

I've read many stories in the US press about Iceland over the years. Most people won't see them because they have very narrowed sources of news and only rely on 1 or 2 sources, (through their own choice). Some of my favourite Iceland stories.

Top Economists: Iceland Did It Right ... And Everyone Else Is Doing It Wrong Washington's Blog

When the banks went belly up, Iceland didn't bail out anyone. They prosecuted the bankers for their crimes, unlike the US who bought them off and gave them lucrative bailouts.

Other than the guy that went on a shooting spree a few years back, I believe I remember hearing about some Satanists burning down really old churches not too long ago.
