Icelandic legal experts mess upp
The so called legal experts of the Icelandic Bar Association have now made three critical errors in judgement (pun intended).
The first one was the IBA protest against the so called truth committee of the Icelandic parliament and their proposal of abandoning the code of silence between lawyers and clients, made for the purpose of getting the truth out in the open.
The second one was when the IBA protested Eva Joly and her involvement with the investigation of the so called economic collapse.
The third and probably not the last one was to call the economic collapse in Iceland a so called economic collapse.
They do not seem to comprehend that when all the banks crash, the nation is in a complete financial disarray and total uncertainty about future international relations. That is a so called problem in their eyes.
The talk is, and one does not need to be an expert in this to see that they are afraid of their own ass. The lawyers are essential to all business deals and regulatory issues, not matter if it is connected to banks, government or other private sector areas. They assist the white collar criminals to cheat the rules they themselves have made. To cheat rules is in their job description, and after many of them have become professional rule benders for the white collar criminals that made the so called economic collapse a reality, they are afraid of being prosecuted (like many of them should be) themselves, because they know what they did.
Tax evasion (tax fraud), offshore accounts, vague deals who benefit one instead of both parties and so on. This is what they have been doing all this time. The reason they don’t agree with outside parties and independent investigations is because the are the buffers for the rich and powerful. It is easy to convict petty criminals for traffic violations and minor drug use, but the bigger fish seem to get away all the time. The lawyers are the parasites that hang on the big fish.
I took the next chapter from the Silfur Egils website, where he got it on Wikipedia that explains why there white collar criminals are not dealt with properly.
“The empirical data clearly demonstrate a double standard between white-collar crimes and so-called street crimes. There are a number of reasons to explain why white-collar criminals are not more rigorously pursued. By virtue of their relative affluence, those accused as white-collar offenders are able to afford the fees of the best lawyers, and may have friends among senior ranks of the political elite (see Cronyism), the judiciary and the law enforcement agencies. These connections often not only ensure favorable treatment on an individual basis, but also enable laws to be drafted or resource allocations to be shifted to ensure that such crimes are not defined or enforced too strictly.”
The fear is starting to affect them. Many lawyer got rich and got good jobs feeding on the bigger fish that crushed the economy, something that would never have been possible without the lawyers. They are guilty as hell.

Watch this trend. Electronic records like e-mail and text messages are revolutionizing white collar investigations and defense. What do you think? –Ben
I think you have a good point there Benjamin.
In the electronic age, you can run but you can never hide.
Keep you eye on the ball. “the judiciary and the law enforcement agencies.” These people are threatened or paid by the powers that be. Can you say “Central Bank”? Surely Icelanders something of the following quotes. Surely.
ALAN GREENSPAN: “In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. … This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists’ tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists’ antagonism toward the gold standard.”
PRESIDENT THOMAS JEFFERSON: “The system of banking [is] a blot left in all our Constitutions, which, if not covered, will end in their destruction… I sincerely believe that banking institutions are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity… is but swindling futurity on a large scale.”
PRESIDENT JAMES A. GARFIELD: “Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce”.
CONGRESSMAN LOUIS McFADDEN: “The Federal Reserve(Banks) are one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever seen. There is not a man within the sound of my voice who does not know that this Nation is run by the International Bankers”.
HORACE GREELEY: “While boasting of our noble deeds were careful to conceal the ugly fact that by an iniquitous money system we have nationalized a system of oppression which, though more refined, is not less cruel than the old system of chattel slavery.
THOMAS A. EDISON: “People who will not turn a shovel full of dirt on the project (Muscle Shoals Dam) nor contribute a pound of material, will collect more money from the United States than will the People who supply all the material and do all the work. This is the terrible thing about interest …But here is the point: If the Nation can issue a dollar bond it can issue a dollar bill. The element that makes the bond good makes the bill good also. The difference between the bond and the bill is that the bond lets the money broker collect twice the amount of the bond and an additional 20%. Whereas the currency, the honest sort provided by the Constitution pays nobody but those who contribute in some useful way. It is absurd to say our Country can issue bonds and cannot issue currency. Both are promises to pay, but one fattens the usurer and the other helps the People.”
PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON: “A great industrial Nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the Nation and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the world – no longer a Government of free opinion no longer a Government by conviction and vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of small groups of dominant men”. (Just before he died, Wilson is reported to have stated to friends that he had been “deceived” and that “I have betrayed my Country”. He referred to the Federal Reserve Act passed during his Presidency.)
SIR JOSIAH STAMP,(President of the Bank of England in the 1920’s, the second richest man in Britain): “Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The Bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create deposits, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take it away from them, and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of Bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create deposits”.
MAJOR L .L. B. ANGUS: “The modern Banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is perhaps the most astounding piece of sleight of hand that was ever invented. Banks can in fact inflate, mint and unmint the modern ledger-entry currency”.
RALPH M. HAWTREY (Former Secretary of the British Treasury): “Banks lend by creating credit. They create the means of payment out of nothing”.
ROBERT HEMPHILL (Credit Manager of Federal Reserve Bank, Atlanta, Ga.): “This is a staggering thought. We are completely dependent on the commercial Banks. Someone has to borrow every dollar we have in circulation, cash or credit. If the Banks create ample synthetic money we are prosperous; if not, we starve. We are absolutely without a permanent money system. When one gets a complete grasp of the picture, the tragic absurdity of our hopeless position is almost incredible, but there it is. It is the most important subject intelligent persons can investigate and reflect upon. It is so important that our present civilization may collapse unless it becomes widely understood and the defects remedied very soon”.
Well…..I agree with most of the things you said. Anyway, thanks!
