Iceland’s Economy now growing faster than the U.S. and EU after arresting corrupt bankers

http://americanlivewire.com/world-economic-news-icelands-economy-now-growing-fas/

So Iceland didnt follow the rest of the world by bailing out bankers they arrested them. Now their economy is recovering faster than the EU and the United States.

Remember when the United States government told the American people that action was required to save the banks? Action in the form of Billions of dollars in debt? Yeah we remember that. Hundreds of Billions of dollars in National debt later were still chasing our tail trying to get out of debt.

At the time of the 2008 collapse Iceland was in worse shape than almost any other country in the world. Hmmmmm..

When Iceland saw the Bank Leaks from Wikileaks, they acted on the information and arrested the corrupt bankers and politicians who enabled them.

When the US heard that Wikileaks was going to release info on OUR crooked banks, they went after Wikileaks and protected the corrupt Banksters.

And that is why Iceland is thriving, because they respect Whistle-blowers and do not call them 'enemies of the state, and they abide the rule of law no matter what the status of the criminals are.

It was the threat that Wikileaks posed to the Big Banks that caused the current persecution of the organization.
