Hello, Mr. Islam,

I’m an Icelandic blogger (among other things) and have been collecting data about the crash in Iceland for almost a year now.

My bloglink is: http://larahanna.blog.is/blog/larahanna/
and if you browse around you can get the gist of what it’s about, even though I write in Icelandic.

Here is a list of the videos I’ve uploaded, about 1.200 of them, and that’s only a tiny part of my collection: http://larahanna.blog.is/blog/larahanna/video/8377/

I would like to get in touch with you for a specific reason but have no emal address. Would you please email me at the address given wit this comment? I would be very thankful.

Respectfully,
Lára Hanna Einarsdóttir
Iceland

“If you are under the age of 77, you have never had it so bad.”
As i see it these day most people have TV,s, phones, internet, cars, homes ( own or council) and food. What we lack is contentment with what we have. The other thing we also have is greed as the bankers and MP,s have proved.

Any green shoots are an illusion brought about by financial manipulation of the business establishment. The underlying truth remains: People are losing their jobs, homes and lifestyle. The fault is consumer demand and the free market.

We just have to look at America to see where the EU is heading. There is no way the US economy can have a long term recovery as long as it depends on low wage economies for its goods.

The idea of protective tariffs is a non starter, at least for now, since we are in bed with the low wage nations.

With the world divided between consumer nations and producer nations, the consumer countries stand to take a much harder hit since they are falling from an elevated living standard. This is not to say the low wage producer nations won’t be hurt. China is already hurting.

Where the end will be is anyone’s guess. However, at supermarkets throughout America. a class division in basic food stuff is being created, with cheaper products for the gradually impoverished masses and quality goods for the wealthier people such as the flippant Hollywood liberals.

Whether people like it or not, Capitalism without restraints on predation & domination, is a sure road of inflation to deflation. Only, the balloon blows smaller and weaker with each ebb & flow.
Capitalism is the slow road to hell and, as each decade passes and, more people join the poor & powerless, the more the world becomes divided, full of hate, & revenge towards to corrupt rich.
The figures out now are indicative of this decending rollercoaster.
Shame on you spinners that try to put a positive spin on this mess.
