The heat is on - Iceland's government is on the point of collapse as angry protesters stake out the parliament in Reykjavik

While Barack Obama was being sworn in to office on Capitol Hill yesterday, the people of Iceland were starting the first revolution in the history of the republic. The word "revolution" might sound a bit of an overstatement, but given the calm temperament that usually prevails in Icelandic politics, the unfolding events represent, at the very least, a revolution in political activism.

Four months after the collapse of Iceland's entire financial system, no one has accepted any responsibility. Our currency has lost more than half its value, rampant inflation has already eaten up most people's savings, property values have dropped by more than a third and unemployment is reaching levels never seen before in the life of our young republic. The fault is clearly shared between the business elite and the government, which failed to regulate the newly privatised financial sector, allowing a few incompetent and egotistical business tycoons to gamble with the nation's fortune. And yet neither the government nor the bankers – who, by the way, seem to have disappeared into the cold thin air – see anything wrong with their own behaviour.

The governor of the central bank blames the risk-seeking bankers, the bankers blame the government and the prime minister attributes the whole crisis to the international credit crunch. This lack of any sense of responsibility has angered the Icelandic public to the extent that they have turned to the streets in greater numbers than ever before.

It started in October with peaceful demonstrations. Then the frustration grew, first with the lack of any sense of responsibility, then with the lack of any effective action to ease the economic pain most people feel – and finally with the sense that all the political elite were incompetent.

Initially the government tried to dismiss the protesters as frustrated wannabe politicians and disillusioned youngsters who did not understand the complexity of the situation. But when our grandmothers put down their knitting gear, strapped their boots on and took to the streets shouting for new elections we all saw that the disgust was almost universal.

Yesterday parliament resumed for the first time after Christmas. Without much organisation or central planning the public surrounded the parliament building and put forward a clear demand for early election. Ignoring them, the ministers and parliamentarians tried to sit out the protest, hiding inside the old building in downtown Reykjavik. This time it didn't work. The protests grew and ordinary people kept warm by burning torches in front of the building. They were going nowhere. Well into this dark night in Iceland's history, parliament remained under siege, and the vigil resumed this morning.

It is the first time in Icelandic history that a young anarchist can well expect to meet his grandmother in the crowd demonstrating against the government and drumming with her kitchen knife on pots and pans. The government is surely hanging by a thin thread and might fall at any moment.

The Icelandic public fear that their country has virtually been stolen by the globetrotting business elite that spent more time rubbing shoulders with international high society than giving back to the society that enabled them to enjoy this privileged lifestyle. Now ordinary Icelanders are determined to take their country back.

Iceland's renewable energy story

22 Apr 2008: Iceland's mountains, glaciers, volcanoes and hot springs, which pull in an increasing number of tourists each year, also allow the country to harness 100% of its electricity and heat from renewable sources

After the Revolution of 1905, the Czar had prudently prepared for further outbreaks by transferring some $400 million in cash to the New York banks, Chase, National City, Guaranty Trust, J.P.Morgan Co., and Hanover Trust. In 1914, these same banks bought the controlling number of shares in the newly organized Federal Reserve Bank of New York, paying for the stock with the Czar\'s sequestered funds. In November 1917,  Red Guards drove a truck to the Imperial Bank and removed the Romanoff gold and jewels. The gold was later shipped directly to Kuhn, Loeb Co. in New York.-- Curse of Canaan

Dorrit Moussaieff was born and raised in Jerusalem but moved to London at an early age where she has lived since. According to information released by the presidents office, she has over the years designed jewellry and been involved in many kinds of business transactions. She has also overseen the interior design/renovation of old historic buildings and written articles for British magazines and newspapers. Besides English, Dorrit speaks French, German and Hebrew and is now studying Icelandic. Among her interests are art- and cultural history, the outdoors, skiing, swimming and horse riding.

Her parents are Shlomo and Alisa Moussaieff and her father is known for his unique collection of artifacts from the time of the old and new testament. The family has also preserved one of the oldest and largest collection of old Jewish scrolls and has recently announced that the collection will be presented to the University in Tel Aviv. Dorrits mother worked closely with David Ben-Gurion, the first prime minister of Israel, when she was younger. Dorrit has two sisters: Tamara who lives in New York and Sharon who lives with her family in Tel Aviv.

She often flies between Iceland and London where she conducts business, such as managing her share of £45 million in London's Canary Wharf.

Thanks for post Mac...

Shows the Icelandic people were setup from the beginning by scamming Jews... If the economic crises have taught me one thing, assume the worst when a Jew is involved...

The video also shows you how he disguises himself. Thor, a nice Germanic name rather than something coming out of his oriental home. Even without traditional Jewish clothing present, these Western dressed Jews are the same.
