“So there is a battle going on. The battle of Iceland. A battle between the old castle, now out of power, but full of money, and the people in the square, the people who have some power for the time being, but are deadly afraid it won’t last more than this coming winter. To safeguard themselves they want to write a new set of rules before the Gonna Fail Game starts again. This is why the referendum on Saturday is quite important.”

Trauma

Not even Terror can subjugate the Unspoken Voice.

The history is littered with cocaine induced drivel from Vienna’s society and “cognition” modification dictates by old hippies, this may still linger because human suffering is such a fabulous business, – not forgetting Big Parma and cohorts.

The “simple” idea of a lock-down escapes even todays Nobel laureates, but when war criminals get Peace Prizes and Economists get prizes at all, this is not unexpected.

When Shock is the Doctrine of the day and Dragons are a foot, the Tiger is most welcome.
