When in the course of human events……
So began a document written over 200 years ago. But for a very long time, before there were firearms in the hands of the people, there were pitchforks and…..
Yes, that would be torches. But that is not 200 years ago, or 400, or 1,000.
It is today.
In Iceland.
A land where a handful of banksters robbed the nation and looted itsTreasury, then demanded that the public accept paying for theconsequences. The people have risen and declared that these are the acts of acriminal gang. That the actions that led to this distress were notmistakes, they were instead unindicted and unpunished felonies. Thatthe people were unwilling and unknowing dupes, not willing participantswith equal culpability.
And finally, that they will not pay so the criminal cabal – the international bankster fraternity – will be protected and made whole.
Iceland’s President has said “no”:
“The cornerstone of Iceland’s constitution is that the nation is thehighest judge for the validity of law,” Grimsson told reporters at hisresidence outside the capital Reykjavik today.
Grimsson vetoed the so-called Icesave accord after more than 60,000of Iceland’s 320,000 inhabitants signed a petition urging him to rejectthe legislation. His decision means lawmakers must either drop the billor put the matter to a referendum.
Does anyone know what the laws are governing immigration – to Iceland?
I’m only half-joking.
This is the first President who has acted as a President. Who has recognized, understood and acted in accordance with the will ofthe people.
70% of the population appear to oppose bailing out the criminal cabal.
Contrast this with the EESA/TARP legislation.
By a margin of more than 100:1 and in somedistricts a margin reported as high as 300:1 The American Peoplecalled, faxed and emailed their Representatives and Senators, alongwith the White House, to tell them NOT TO BAIL OUT THE CRIMINAL BANKING CABAL.
Our Congress and President did so anyway.
In Iceland we have seen proof that a strong display of thegood old-fashioned torch – with the implied threat of the pitchforkbeing next – was sufficient for the government to recognize that:
That whenever any Form of Government becomesdestructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or toabolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation onsuch principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to themshall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments longestablished should not be changed for light and transient causes; andaccordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed tosuffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves byabolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a longtrain of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Objectevinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is theirright, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to providenew Guards for their future security.
I am convinced that our nation will not stop being lootedby this very same criminal cabal until The People display the torch andreiterate the foundational principal of this Republic – that we, thepeople, are stating our intention of revoking The Government’s right toexist should it continue to act at the behest of a criminal cabalhellbent and determined on looting every member of society alongwith the public Treasury.
The choice is yours America.
You have seen today that forceful yet peacefuldemonstration – a clear and unmistakable statement that the principlesthat underlay The Declaration of Independence remain in fullforce and effect, and that we, the people are both willing and preparedto enforce them if it becomes necessary – still works.
That you, not the den of vipers, control the ultimate path of legislation in all civilized nations.
When will you, America, be willing to display your torch?
