Consider a country where banking interests balloon debt by lending to people who cannot possibly pay back their loans. These toxic assets then threaten to destroy the national economy. Banking interests plead with the civil government to rescue them for the sake of the economy. The civil government bails them out with taxpayer money. Sound familiar? Well, that’s where the similarities end between the banking crisis in Iceland which began in 2008, and the banking crisis that occurred in the States a year earlier.
Taxpayers in Iceland didn’t just sit back and allow the bail out. They thronged the streets banging on pots and pans, surrounded their capitol building, and forced all the members of their civil government to resign. You read that right. All of them. To resign. They were not going to pay for bank fraud.
They then crowd-sourced the Constitution of Iceland for a rewrite. No word yet on exactly how this has panned out. But what is of interest is that no major news agency in the U.S. has reported on this:
The pots and pans revolution in Iceland was not covered by mainstream U.S. media. In fact, any information about this revolution is found only on international newspapers, blogs and online documentaries, not on mainstream front-page articles as would be expected from news organizations covering a story of this magnitude. The New York Times published a small handful of piecemeal stories, blogs and opinion pieces, but mostly glossed over the main narrative by saying the 2008 financial collapse in Iceland caused “mayhem far beyond the country’s borders” rather than pointing out that Icelanders took to the streets with pots and pans and forced their entire government to resign.
I don’t know about you, but I find that bizarre. We’re talking about a bloodless revolution over a corrupt and incompetent government. That’s huge news. Why haven’t we heard about this? Are the puppet masters of media in the States afraid we might get similar ideas?
PING!
Monoculturism at work.

The banging you’ll hear in this country won’t be coming from pots and pans.
That's overstated. Female genital mutilation within a tribe in Africa is also monoculturalism, inasmuch as foreign interests and influence do not play any part in the practice. What happened in Iceland is bigger than merely that.

Methinks there’s a lesson to be learned here.
Sounds like the Fed with our debt. Coming soon to Amerika.
You RINO/GOPe bastards, when we come, we’re coming for you too.
I hope that this in this country this finale is closer than it appears.
This truly needs to travel!
Iceland may be the only free nation remaining on Earth.
I would expect the Left to report this since they could use it as an example that guns aren’t necessary to keep the government honest.
OK, Viking Personal Liberty forces at work.

I don’t see/hear much MSM info about the major demonstrations in the Ukraine by people who want more ties with EU rather than Russia. I also have not heard any mention about the horrific Qingdao pipeline explosion in China, 2 weeks ago that has killed at least 62 people. This may be the reason for the sudden flap over the expanded airfligh military zone that China declared the same day their leader went to Qingdao to pacify the public. Now the people are angry at Japan for overflights, rather than for their own government neglect and mismanagement.
Why would the collectivists who run the Feds and the LSM want to report on something like this that could give the populace ideas such as this?
How about not only forcing the prez, all of the legislators and justices on SCOTUS, but all members of the LSM?
One of their leaders told them to go fish.
Give me six battalions of Virginian riflemen, and I will get this done in short order.
