„Save the people of Iceland".

  

Þeir sem hafa skrifað sig inn á Save the people of Iceland virðast flestir vera með þau grundvallaratriði á hreinu að skuldir einkafyrirtækja á ekki að yfirfæra á almenning, sem er meira en hægt er að segja um icesave umræðuna hér á landi.

 

Alþingi hefur í tvígang samþykkt lög þar sem skuldir gjaldþrota einkabanka eru yfirfærðar á skattgreiðendur sem gefur glögga mynd af því hvað íslenskir stjórnmálamenn eru komnir langt frá grundvallaratriðum þessa máls.

 

Það er athyglivert að lesa athugasemdirnar þeirra sem styðja íslenskan almenning með undirskrift sinni, þeir virðast gera ráð fyrir því að það sama muni koma yfir þeirra þjóðir, það er að stjórnmálamenn muni moka skuldum bankakerfisins yfir almenning.  Þeir telja að íslenska þjóðin eigi möguleika á að varða veginn fyrir almenning annarra landa út úr skuldaþrældómi bankakerfisins.

The people of Iceland should not he held accountable for the debts of a private company. This worldwide phenomena of privatizing gains and socializing losses where hard working people are held hostage to a small banking oligarchy backed by central banking and government must end, hopefully the people of Iceland will lead the way for more to follow.

Private losses should never be public ones. It's superb that the Icelandic people have enough democratic rights to be able to decide their future in a referendum. Here in Britain the bankers and corporations own the government.

Although I have lost, like nearly 300 people in the Netherlands, a lot of money as a private depositor in Icesave, I am convinced that this deal puts the blame on Iceland too much. The Dutch as well as the UK supervisors underestimated the Icesave effects as much as was done in Iceland. That gives the goverments of NL and the UK responsibility for a REAL solution instead of a financial deal that puts all the risk on Icelanders. Read more about it on

www.icesave.nu Child play over 5 billion Euro. Where the Icelandic government tries to avoid a Referendum (more public money spoiled) and the Dutch (and UK) are staying put in their trenches ('take it or leave it').

That is called: The Battle of the Ego's.
On the one side a Prime Minister who is quite the opposite of the former PM (Haarde) and has anything but international Charism. Struggling to stay in the saddle with her tiny majority.
On the other side an almost desparate Social Leader that is bound to loose an historic amount of seats in local government on the 3rd of March. Strong leadership demands strict rules. Bos has to be The Boss, or he will loose even more seats.
At the same time we all know that enormous mistakes were made by both National Banks/Supervisors, that nobody wants to admit. Otherwise you might start asking questions about the political responsibility..

Does Iceland have the guts to take control and start acting like a Real Country?
Or is being a born loser a safer position? Hoping that the international community will in the end turn itself against those 'Bullies'?
Trust me, the last option will not get you better results! The Bullies will only deepen their trenches a little bit more.

Chances?
The Minister of Finance (Bos) of an already troubled government is not likely to admit mistakes. The Leader of a Social Democrat Party should have empathy for a troubled fellow nation like Iceland. Were people are in real trouble.
The Minister of Finance should have an understanding that you need a sound economy in order to repay. The Leader of a Social Democrat Party might even agree with that, as long as it's taking account of the will of the people.. :-)
That puts Iceland in a position where they have to make the Bullies an offer they can't refuse.
With the present situation in Iceland (where Ego's are also battling) AND the missing of a Charismatic Leader, that is not likely to happen.
Obvious solution is to get an 'unbeatable' mediator to pave the way for the wanted economic solution. The missing Leader that gets (forced) trust from all involved and keeps smiling all the way to the Real Solution for Iceland.

The points to consider?
Again admit the responsibility of Iceland to repay the first layer of the Deposit Guarantee scheme. No question about that (Interest? That's an other story..).
Ask for help to get the economy to recover asap. Nobody can object.
Get them involved in solutions. Like restructering the new banks, managing the assets of the old banks, setting up green energy projects, joint data centers, knowledge exchange etc
And point them time and time again to the context of the problem, like the scale of the effort for Iceland, the possible brain drain of people leaving, the mortgage disaster, the already low salary of the PM etc.

Okay, you can opt for being a province of Norway. Or becoming a tax heaven like the Netherlands. Or start selling Holy Stones in a joint venture with the Vatican.
But let's keep that as a fall back scenario you might work on in the meantime...
As I said before: TAKE CONTROL, STUPID!

PS, my earlier blogs could be worthwhile reading as well...:-)

Hello Mr Gerard,

That is what we are doing, the people of Iceland is taking the control in there hands because it´s not possible to have a left wing goverment that says yes to everything. So everybody needs to understand that buisness is buisness and if you put your money to the criminals of the ice-save banks then it is your goverments problem to make sure that you get your money back. because the banks are operrating in contry. I lost a lot money to, in this internatonal bank-crises. but i dont go crying to mama because i know i will never get them back, i will loose everything, appartaments,cars like most of the people in Iceland.

We need to work together Netherland,Iceland and England. Not Netherland and England against Iceland don´t you agree ?

Met vriendelijke groet,

Gunnar Svanberg
