By Pete Papaherakles Iceland is showing the world what real independence from the bankers means. The Nordic island has become the first country to criminally charge a world leader as a result of the 2008 economic crisis. Former Prime Minister Geir Haarde, 73, was found guilty of “failing to adequately inform other Icelandic officials of events that led up to the 2008 financial crisis” according to an April 23 New York Times article.

As part of Haarde’s final verdict, two of the original six charges were dropped and the other three were cleared. These included “gross neglect of duty” and “ failure to reduce the size of the banking system,” charges that were more serious and could have put him behind bars for years. Haarde, who served as Iceland’s prime minister from June 2006 to February 2009, will not actually have to serve any jail time but the trial was indicative of Iceland’s re-establishment of its sovereignty after defaulting on the bankers.

Le Monde.fr | • Mis à jour le | Par Alexandre Pouchard Voilà qui ne devrait pas arranger les affaires de Christine Lagarde.

Comme l'indiquait le site Tout sur les impôts en juillet 2011, la directrice générale du FMI bénéficie en effet d'un statut fiscal spécifique en qualité de fonctionnaire internationale. The Allegory of the Optimist and the Realist. Imagine entering a room in which the electrical wiring is defective. You turn the switch on. Nothing happens. Someone replaces the bulb but the room remains dark. The circuit breaker is deemed operational.

Most people, after a few attempts at flipping the switch, come to the realization that the circuit is broken. They accurately conclude that the light is not going to come on. A few of the people in the room, however, have resolute faith in the defective circuit. Suffering from cognitive dissonance, the eternal optimist, like Joe Hill’s fictitious character Mr. Nevertheless, despite decades of contrary results, the positivity and faith of the optimists cannot be blunted. Others, seeing the absurdity of these actions, scoff at the optimist’s foolishness.
