Η Ισλανδία πρέπει να «ξεμεθύσει» από την οικονομική επιτυχία

Διορθωτικές κινήσεις για να αποφύγει την υπερθέρμανση της οικονομίας, η οποία κινείται εδώ και χρόνια με εκρηκτικούς ρυθμούς ανάπτυξης και μηδενική ανεργία, πραγματοποιεί η κεντρική τράπεζα της Ισλανδίας.

«Είναι όπως όταν βρίσκεσαι σε ένα πάρτι και συνειδητοποιείς ότι πρέπει να χαλαρώσεις για λίγο», δήλωσε ο κεντρικός τραπεζίτης Μαρ Γκούντμουντσον αναφερόμενος στα επίπεδα ρεκόρ στα οποία κινείται το πλεόνασμα τρεχουσών συναλλαγών της χώρας λόγω της βελτίωσης το εμπορίου και του τουρισμού.

Η Ισλανδική οικονομία γνωρίζει σταθερούς ρυθμούς ανάπτυξης 5% όταν σχεδόν στο σύνολο της Ευρώπης το ΑΕΠ παραμένει σταθερό όταν δεν συρρικνώνεται.

Όπως είχε αναγκαστεί να αναγνωρίσει και το ΔΝΤ η επιτυχία της εθνικής οικονομίας οφείλεται στο ότι δεν ακολούθησε καμία από τις συμβουλές που επιβλήθηκαν σε άλλες χώρες της ευρωπαϊκής περιφέρειας με τα μνημόνια.

Συγκεκριμένα η χώρα προχώρησε σε ένα είδος στάσης πληρωμών προς τους δανειστές της αρνούμενη να πληρώσει τα χρέη που είχαν δημιουργήσει στους πολίτες της ξένες τράπεζες ενώ υποτίμησε το νόμισμά της (δεδομένου ότι δεν είναι μέλος της ευρωζώνης) δίνοντας νέα ώθηση στην εθνική οικονομία. Οι τράπεζες που ευθύνονταν για την κρίση αφέθησαν να καταρρεύσουν και πέρασαν σε κρατικό έλεγχο ενώ ορισμένοι από τους τραπεζίτες κατέληξαν στη φυλακή.

Ούτε το ελάχιστο μέγεθός της (με μόλις 325.000 κατοίκους) ούτε η έλλειψη βαριάς βιομηχανίας δεν εμπόδισαν τη χώρα των Βίκινγκς να τα βάλει με τα τραπεζικά μεγαθήρια της Βρετανίας και της Ολλανδίας και να αμφισβητήσει τις εντολές του ΔΝΤ.

Όλα αυτά βέβαια γιατί οι κυβερνώντες αποδέχθηκαν, ως όφειλαν, το αποτέλεσμα των δημοψηφισμάτων με τα οποία οι Ισλανδοί ξεκαθάρισαν ότι δεν ήταν διατεθειμένοι να πληρώσουν ένα παράνομο χρέος και φυσικά γιατί δεν είναι μέλος της ΟΝΕ.

Αξίζει να θυμίσει κανείς πως κινήθηκε το επίπεδο ανεργίας στην Ισλανδία σε σχέση με την Ελλάδα, η οποία ακολούθησε κατά γράμμα τις εντολές της Τρόικας.

Το επόμενο βήμα ήταν να ακυρώσουν την αίτηση ένταξης που είχαν υποβάλλει στην Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση.

Ποιος θέλει να επιβιβαστεί σε ένα καράβι που βυθίζεται; Πολύ περισσότερο όταν το καράβι έχει γεμίσει από αυτοαποκαλούμενους «αριστερούς» που για ίδιον συμφέρον φωνάζουν στους επιβάτες ότι πρέπει να παραμείνουν εγκλωβισμένοι σε αυτό και να ψηφίζουν πάντα υπέρ της ΕΕ.

The West's hypocrisy has been exposed: This is how

Geopolitical Economy Report   Donald Trump's attacks on longtime US "allies" have forced Western leaders to admit their warmongering foreign policy was hypocritical. Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney said the truth in his speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos: the "rules-based order" was "false". Ben Norton explains how the global balance of power is shifting.

Stephen Hawking confirms: The problem is Capitalism, not robots!

globinfo freexchange According to world famous physicist Stephen Hawking, the rising use of automated machines may mean the end of human rights – not just jobs. But he’s not talking about robots with artificial intelligence taking over the world, he’s talking about the current capitalist political system and its major players. On Reddit, Hawking said that the economic gap between the rich and the poor will continue to grow as more jobs are automated by machines, and the owners of said machines hoard them to create more wealth for themselves. The insatiable thirst for capitalist accumulation bestowed upon humans by years of lies and terrible economic policy has affected technology in such a way that one of its major goals has become to replace human jobs. If we do not take this warning seriously, we may face unfathomable corporate domination. If we let the same people who buy and sell our political system and resources maintain control of automated technology, the...

Project Mythos: Too Dangerous to Release — So the U S Got It First

GVS Deep Dive   In the middle of rising geopolitical tensions and the Iran–U.S. conflict, a powerful new AI model quietly emerged—one that may reshape cybersecurity, financial systems, and the global economy. Built by Anthropic, the model—Claude Mythos—was reportedly considered too dangerous to release publicly. Instead, it is being tested under Project Glasswing by major tech companies like Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and cybersecurity leaders like CrowdStrike and Palo Alto Networks. The model has demonstrated the ability to detect and exploit software vulnerabilities across operating systems, web infrastructure, and critical digital systems—raising serious questions about cyber warfare, financial security, and national defense. With involvement from U.S. institutions like the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve, this may represent a major shift in how governments approach artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and global power competition. As AI capabilities a...

The dominant elite ready to break the "social contract"

Hyper-automation will allow the super-rich to “get rid” of the rest by system failure Since the French revolution and the new form of the urban states-democracies, the ruling class had to make the so-called "social contract" with the majority. From the moment that the dominant urban class took the power from feudalism and monarchy, should had to find a way to protect the means of production and the labor force. Therefore, the ethnic consciousness in each state served to bound the majority in order to shape national armies to protect the ruling class interests. In exchange, the ruling urban class had given the so-called social state, labor rights, etc., through the nation-state as a carrier and guarantor for all these benefits for the middle and lower classes. Since then, there have been a lot of battles and the majority managed to conquer some benefits. At the start of 20th century, the technology progress had brought the mass production. Western s...

Iranian Women Resist Invasion, Hospitals Targeted & Petrodollar Collapse

MintPress News   MintPress News founder Mnar Adley, this essential interview with University of Tehran professor Dr. Setareh Sadeghi reveals the devastating reality of US-Israeli aggression against Iran that corporate media refuses to report. With over 307 medical facilities destroyed in one month, schools bombed, and universities targeted, Iran faces what officials describe as a genocidal campaign. Dr. Sadeghi exposes: • How BBC journalists calling for Iran to be "nuked" are tied to CIA-backed regime change networks • Why Iranian women are leading mass rallies in defense of their nation—not against it • The collapse of Western propaganda as independent Iranian creators go viral worldwide • How Iran's regulation of the Strait of Hormuz is accelerating the petrodollar's decline • UAE's covert complicity in war crimes while positioning itself as a neutral party • Why Russia and China are aligning with Iran against unipolar imperial domination As Trump threatens to ...

First predictions for the snap elections in Greece

Greek elections globinfo freexchange First predictions for the snap elections in Greece have started already. According to the German newspaper Bild, SYRIZA appears with heavy losses with a percentage of 28%. Close to SYRIZA is the right-Wing New Democracy with 25% (little less than 3% lower than in previous elections) and the new Popular Unity party that came from the split of SYRIZA, appears to gather 8% of the votes. All first polls show significant losses for Alexis Tsipras and SYRIZA. In the last few days, many members of the party have resigned and Tsipras has to deal also with the internal crisis in his party after the split according to the plan B of the Brussels bureaufascists. Most of the early predictions give Lafazanis' Popular Unity a percentage of 7-8%, while SYRIZA's partners in the coalition government, Independent Greeks, struggle to reach the crucial 3% to enter the new parliament. In any case, the split of SYRIZA creates an even...

Billionaires are social distancing in super yachts as tens of millions lose jobs

Everyday, it becomes clearer: the COVID-19 pandemic is hitting poor, working, and marginalized communities the hardest. Millions of workers – especially low-wage retail, food service, hospitality, and care workers – have faced the terrible choice daily between going to work and risking their health, or staying home and risking their paychecks. Many other workers don’t even have that choice, with around 30 million people in the US filing for unemployment in the past six weeks. But billionaires don’t face these same problems. As tens of millions have lost their jobs over the past two months, billionaire wealth soared by a whopping $282 billion between March 18 and April 10, according to a new study from the Institute for Policy Studies.  And while finding enough space to wait out the pandemic is something many struggle with, billionaires have been escaping to their second (or third, or fourth) homes to ride it out in luxury – all while they position themselves to ...
