“ Oooooooops.....
The first European “Corralito””

Yes, the first EU member “corralito” (and not the last). The first in Europe was Iceland that successfully defeated and pissed on the banksters and it's puppets in Holland and EU that bailed out it's “savers” but never got it back from the Icelandic government, who made it clear: it's not my people's problem, it the problem of the icelandic banksters who are now in Jail. You don't hear anything about that on the so called (lame) mainstream media. Iceland forgave all homeowners (lost for the banksters who are now in jail) and now the Economy is recovering better.

Is this possible in Europe, Canada, Ausi Island, NZ and in the US? Yes it is possible, but not going to happen unless the people wake up, demand the real solution and get rid of their corrupt officials in the government who are not representing the people but their masters who finance them indirect or direct through “campaign donations” or “gifts”.
