Stacy Summary: As covered in our most recent Keiser Report, the Magma Energy deal in Iceland is now heating up. That 85% of the Icelandic population wants the deal put to a poll, and that 100% of those 85% want to regain their rights to their energy source, this is apparently ‘not good politics.’

ZH – Guest Post: How Hyperinflation Will Happen
http://www.zerohedge.com/article/guest-post-how-hyperinflation-will-happen
Of course it’s bad politics! The whole point of Freidman/Hayek/Mises neoliberalism is to ensure that the people don’t have a say in their lives. Neoliberalism is inherently anti-democratic and requires that people are only free to choose among the choices the “market” (aka rentiers and monopolists) gives them. Thus, it is imperative that natural monopolies like energy be privatized.
Tao—–in the 60s and 70s we called it “class war” why are we coy. War is war.
Gooooooooooooooooooooo, Iceland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You’re the leader to a better and free world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let them eat oil in the Gulf of Mexico.
Hyperinflation will not happen. Why? Because the government can put banks out of the counterfeiting business by raising reserve requirements to 100% if necessary or I suppose, beyond.
I love Bjork so much more then bob geldof.
@papa chango,
It’s a war that started in the 60′s, I believe.
Yep, do it and please retake control of your own energy resources.
I see David Oddsson got a position as editor of a large circulation newspaper in Iceland obviously an attempt to control how he’s perceived after his neoliberal policies and privatisation steered the country into the ground. Is he actually back in the country?
Tao—- indeed. How long before the dire economic situation results in a poitical upsurge? After the 1929 Crash there was a move to the left in America and to the Right in Europe. I see nothing happening as yet, I’m in the UK.

50 years of consummerism has properly sedated the public so rebelion is impossible…
Generally I would be in favor of private property but since the government backed counterfeiting cartels finance so much of the corporate world, I say go Iceland and assert your sovereignty! It’s all a muddle these days.
Canadians and their Magma, mean while looks like BHP is going to take over Potash Inc. of Sask.
Canadians at sleep at the wheel.
Always trying their best to emulate the US and never getting credit.
Wake up Duhanada you never will.
Go Kanada go, go exactly the opposite way of Iceland. First give away the iron then the nickel then the oil and gas then the tar sands (oh wait just the oil leaving the shit) then the potash. Next will be the water and the topsoil. Goodbye yellow brick road……….I should have listened to my old man and stayed on the farm. Oh you can’t farm without water and potash too bad.
chArles—–1789 happened you know, so did 1917 in Russia, Paris Commune 1848, Cuba 1959 and much of South America now. There is hope.
Max and Ms Herbert are cool but ther does need to be a political thing going on or the madness will continue.

We may learn some valuable lessons here.
The large lumbering schemes are are too easily infiltrated and corrupted.

I just don’t see there being any ground work for a mass movement to take hold, individuals are to atomized under 50 years of mass consummerism which has effectively infantized the majority of folks…the whole culture’s understanding has been peverted…what agitation is out there is quickly captured an co-opted and set forth to strengthen the system that spawned it…its bleak as far as my eyes can discern
what is interesting was the dates you chose as a lefty I am quit familiar with em, was thinking about this the other night to all those dates saw the return of basically defeated armies, returning home into bleak economic circumstances…curious what will happen when America’s Imperial gaurd returns home, maybe explains why they want to keep it in the feild untill it’s bleed dry
Iceland is being attacked with the classic IMF same exact four-step program: http://www.gregpalast.com/the-globalizer-who-came-in-from-the-cold/
1 Privatization ‘Briberization.’
2 IMF/World Bank capital market deregulation allows investment capital to flow in and out the “Hot Money” cycle.
3 Market-Based Pricing, a fancy term for raising prices on food, water and cooking gas
4 IMF and World Bank call their “poverty reduction strategy”: Free Trade- “The IMF riot.”

[KR70] Keiser Report – Markets! Finance! Crouching Assets, Hidden Wealth! 19 August 2010, by Max & Stacy (maxkeiser.com) http://maxkeiser.com/2010/08/19/kr70-keiser-report-markets-finance-crouching-assets-hidden-wealth/

In the second half of the show, Max talks to Jon Thorisson in Iceland about his campaign against Magma Energy and about the resistance of the Icelandic people to IMF measures.
Keiser Report №70: Markets! Finance! Scandal! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jCQdIGgzME
I have considered many times taking Iceland up on its citizenship deal. I want a country that will fight for itself, that is not tearing down the little guy, but takes the big guy on. Screw those rotten bankers into the ground.
Iceland is a great role model. Thank you Max for keeping this event in the forefront. I have learned what a great people they are.
Shoot for the stars and you might hit the moon. Good enough. Her vision for Iceland is as beautiful as her music. Politically she’ll do well to embrace Chomsky’s take on Anarcho-libertarianism [the European approach]. Iceland seems reborn in some ways. May they holdfast their youth…

This website for the past year has made a strange impact on my psyche. The image of Bjork nowadays makes me think of Mother Earth. Recently I noticed that my youngest son looks (and sings) much like Bjork in her teens. Now my son makes me think of Mother Earth. I think this place has driven me insane. Fortunately I enjoy insanity. I’m kind of an addict in fact, so I’ll be sticking around. But hey, check out Bjork’s laugh. She laughs just like Stacy. I may be insane, but I’m right.
As a matter of fact, now that I look more closely, this is how insane I’ve become… If Max and Stacy had a daughter together, it would look just like Bjork. Am I wrong?
Dear Citizens of Iceland,
Run the crooks out of Iceland ! Pay them nothing ! Demand criminal trials
and impose jail sentences. Good Luck
When Bjorks attack!
