Iceland Drops Bid For EU Membership
Having thought long and hard (since 2009) about the benefits of becoming a member of the European Union, Iceland has decided to withdraw its application...
- *ICELAND SAYS WON'T RESTART ACCESSION TALKS WITH EU
The 2013-elected (euroskeptic) coalition government had scrapped talks, so this is not entirely surprising, as it sought more trade accords.
Foreign Minister Gunnar Bragi Sveinsson formally withdrew bid for European Union membership in a letter presented to Latvia’s Foreign Minister Edgars Rinkevics, according to an e-mailed statement from the Foreign Ministry in Reykjavik.
According to Agence France-Presse, Iceland is reportedly dropping its bid for membership in the European Union.
Iceland applied for EU membership in 2009, but earlier this year, the Icelandic prime minister said that his country would withdraw its application.

Please do not join. EU is a diarchical mess. Keep power and control over your own future.
The bankers will just respond with "Resistance is Futile!" and assimilate them when they desire.
UK is abandoning ship and the Northern European States aren't far behind. I can see a few potentially much stronger unions emerging right across the former Viking strongholds.
Oh, and they really have what it takes to train "dragons".
I think they have a Scandinavian league with visa free travel and trade stuff, someone correct me if I am wrong.
Since the EU is falling apart pretty fast now, maybe it could be a good idea to start considering a new trading block.
It could include countries, like Norway, Iceland, Finland, Britain, Ireland, Sweden, Greenland, Denmark and Faeroe Islands to start with.
Countries in east Europe might even want to join.
"The bankers will just respond with "Resistance is Futile!" and assimilate them when they desire."
yes.
In several of their manuscripts which have found their way into the public domain, they use the term:
in·de·fat·i·ga·ble
?ind??fad???b(?)l/
adjective
adjective: indefatigable
(of a person or their efforts) persisting tirelessly.
The thing Iceland has going for it is the bankster ilk are very difficult to disguise as Björn.
How absolutely refreshing.... some gubmint bureaucrats are a helluva lot smarter than most... and on top of all that, it appears some have the capability to recognize and learn from mistakes of the past, however, rare that is for gubmint bureaucrats..... wow....
ICELAND
1.) THEY JAILED THEIR CROOK BANKERS INTO PRISON SETTING ‘a model’ for dealing with ‘financial terrorists’.
2.) Dropped their bid to join failed union .
RESPECT
Well since they're not in Europe........
This will cause some anger in Iceland because the Independence party, the larger party in the current govt coalition, promised a national referendum on whether or not Iceland would finish negotiations to join the EU.
This was one of the promises that helped them getting voted into power.
Lots of people, many of them IP voters, now feel betrayed.
This will shake this government and might shorten its life.
Personally i am very much against the EU for many good reasons, but i am also against lies.
Since this promise was made, it should have been kept.
Who wants to join the race to the bottom, dictatorship, spinless scumbag, useless parasite, corrupted evil club?
The Euro is only 16 years old. That's jail bait.
Ukraine
...speaking of stupid:
"The Ministry of the Economy will cease to exist, but Ukraine’s economy will remain."
-- Ukrainian Prime Minister Arsefotz Yatsenyuk
http://fortruss.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-ministry-of-economy-will-cease-...
Unfortunately this is bureaucrats think.
Got another one for ya Stooge-in, Naftogaz will probably also "cease to exist".
Ukraine to break up Naftogaz, offer gas transport assets to western investorsWith the purchase of any assets down at the fire sale, you get to participate in a complimentary gang-bang of Ukraine.
Dont forget pointless, onerous regulations on everything from Steel Mills to Koolaide stands.
No shit, really?
sarcasm
Chickens. They don't want to be part of the war and revolution.
Smart not to get on the doomed Titanic when the politburo quislings in BrUSsels are beating the crap out of the Greek passengers in the stinking hull.
When Yanukovich dropped Ukraine's bid for E.U. association, he got "Euro"maidan. Shall we expect Vikings'Maidan in Reykjavík any time soon?
No. When you go fracking in Iceland the oil comes out at about 7,000 degrees farenheit.
P.S. Hunter hates the cold.
You do know you just made a very important point don't you? The USA and EU will not take this lying down! No, not an Icelandic Maidan, but a very carefully crafted long term regime change plan will be put into force by western agents and embassy staff. They will seek Icelandic allies, like bankers and right wing politicians. They will start NGO's and flood money to pro EU politicians. They will use NSA spy information to threaten anti EU politicians. They will seek to spend enough money to buy the next election or the following one. A slow process maybe, but now the gloves will be off, and money and agents will flow into Iceland to buy media, politicians and in the end, the public. Beware of NGO's and Embassy Staffs who are really CIA and MI6.
From Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins I remember that the standard tactic is to negotiate. When that doesn't work - you bribe. When that doesn't work - you intimidate. When that doesn't work - you eliminate.
I expect some declaration that Iceland:
"constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the (select one- EU/US/ZWO), and I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat"
They should let the Russians lease a base there so they can refuel their nuclear bombers lol.
"They should let the Russians lease a base there so they can refuel their nuclear bombers lol."
Because of her strategic location, Iceland had a U.S. Air Force military base in Keflavík. It was closed in 2006. Theoretically, if now Russians wanted to use it, Iceland would have to leave NATO first which is a very unlikely scenario as the U.S. marines would land there first before any Russian.
They should have nothing to do with the rest of the world.
Side with US, get fucked.
Side with Russia, get fucked.
Best stand back and watch the show!
Small population.
Energy independent - interestingly, in a form not very easy to steal/transport.
Sensible banking regulations.
Shit, if the language wasn't completely impossible, i'd be very tempted to see how their immigration policies work!
Looks like they have some awesome mountain biking spots too!
"(...) the standard tactic is to negotiate. When that doesn't work - you bribe. When that doesn't work - you intimidate. When that doesn't work - you eliminate"
So Putin and Russia are at "intimidate" stage. When the last "eliminate" stage comes, as it surely will, there is a possibility that both, the eliminator and the 'eliminatee' will be eliminated...
"When that doesn't work - you eliminate."

about 20 high profile Polish public figures have been committing "suicide" until current head of EU - Donald Tusk former PM of Poland had control of everything USA needs for action in Ukraine
They have no place in EU. They sent bankers to prison.
So they imposed Capital Controls to prevent foreign assets from fleeing.
Then they turned over the Government and actually put some bankers in jail.
Their currency tanked, which allowed their Unemployment Rate to drop from 8% to 4.5%.
Basically the poster child for what the first Euro-escapee can look forward to...
Thier way of going Galt - good for them
And so a democractic people has saved their nation from the Soviet Communist abomination in Brussels! It goes without saying how important it is to escape the EU Banking Cartel and it's evil twin the Brussels Supreme Soviet [often called the EU Parliament].
If Iceland were in the EU today, they would now be obligated to contribute millions of dollars for a rescue fund for Ukraine, who would spend it on war. The collapsing banks of the EU, even German banks, would be demanding bail out money collected by the governing force of the EU Parliament. All the fucking immigration rules forcing nations to take millions of legal and illegal immigrants would be held over Iceland's head. All the fucking insane product and social service rules coming from the Communists in Brussels would be in force on Icelandic soil.
FUCK THE EU! FUCK THEM GOOD AND HARD!
I've noticed that ISIS is strangely absent in Iceland. Hmmm.....
Maybe it is because Iceland has active volcanoes to throw them into.
But, but, but how will they defend themselves against the evil commonist soviet threat if they don't join the Brussels Pact?
What about their precious bodily fluids?
Won't anyone think of the lutefisk?
Lutfisk is a weapon of mass destruction!
Good besta sem þeir gætu hafa gert. In other words . .good for them .. I do not think Iceland is going Ukraine any time soon .. Iceland in the scheme of things is not important enough to the West .. less than 400,000 people... plus people are smart .. they will see NGO crap for what it is .. I have high hopes that Iceland will be the litle idland that could. Stategically it is of little importance.. moral question of how important their actions were to the powers that be .. is another matter ..
I have a lot of respect for the people of Iceland.
They are very nationalistic, but in a good way. Like "we like to trade and cooperate, but it has to be on terms we like". Even their language reflects this, with very few foreign words. They have a long and proud history. One of the oldest democracies (oldest parliament in the world) and a very old court system. Several old Icelandic sagas still told today show why this is important, in particular the saga of Njal.
They are also rebels in a good way. Before WWII they were part of my country, just like Greenland is today. During the war we were seperated, and after the war they basically told us: "We want to be our own country. We want to be friends. Send war ships if you want, but that will bring no good". There was no war to bring these rebels back into our country, and instead a long and prosperous period of period of trade and cooperation began.
Probably a major reason for Iceland to consider joining the EU was that Denmark was part of EU. But when the financial crisis came, they took the right path, unlike most other countries: Instead of bailing out failing financial institutions they let them fail. This caused them to almost be labelled terrorists in the UK (anti-terror laws were invoked), but they did not back down.
Today not joining the EU is clear for them: One of their major exports is fish. The new cold war with Russia means that EU countries can no longer export fish to Russia. So the Icelandic exports to Russia have been rising, and they are prospering from this.
Ironic, Iceland is like Western Ukraine, a Nazi Take over of Danish govt and Iceland declares independence. The Danes were smart and both prospered, the East Ukes are dumb attacking Donbass and the whole of Ukraine goes down the shitter. Lessons to be learned.
Time 4 a
REGIME CHANGE
Quick someone call Nuland!
Yea the Eurocrats are not going to like this at all. One less piggy bank to loot.
Based on how they responded to the last attempted bankster rape, I think they stand a chance of being left alone.
Small place - no place for corrupt pols & banksters to hide.
A police force that does what a police force is supposed to do.
Big fan of these Icelanders... well done.
Can these Icelandic dudes convince the Ukrainians to do the same?
This convinced them:

Iceland has only 320,000 people or so, about that of a medium-sized city in the US or EU. The world has survived the bankruptcy of cities with populations bigger than Iceland (viz. Detroit).
Moreover, most of the money lost in Icelandic banks belonged to proles anyway.
Don't forget either that Iceland, with Norway, Switzerland and Liechtenstein, is in the so-called European Economic Area. While the EEA Four are almost totally dependent on the Fourth Reich for their trade, the Fourth Reich are not obliged to even pretend to take their needs into account when setting policy.
So it's no surprise that the banksters have forgotten about Iceland, which, to their mind, is a quaint place where grown men and women still believe in elves. They still have Iceland over a barrel, the claims of Reykjavik to the contrary. Until the Fourth Reich is undone by Russian tanks or Reykjavik gets a Ragnarok Option, that's not going to change.
Nothing to see, folks, move along.
I disagree with your assessment. Detroit is a city of a state that is part of a large country. Iceland is a country. A country is a sovereign and can act as an example to the rest of the world whereas a city is a part of a sovereign and it's failure is not necessarily indicative of the viability of the sovereign. In other words, if Iceland adopts a monetary system that serves it's citizens and gov't well, maintains purchasing power along with other important functions, it can serve as a model to the world. Detroit doesn't set monetary policy nor does it set federal gov't policy. It's a mere cog in the wheel and it's failure may or maynot be attributable to the mismanagement of federal monetary and banking regulations/laws or policy. That could have been written better but I hope I got my point across. I agree with the other poster that believes Iceland will become a target of the elites.
50.98% of 'Auroracoin' (cryptocurrency) airdropped (gifted) to citizens of Iceland now in circulation
http://auroracoin.org/
I believe that they and a neighbor are selling fish to Russia..
Good for Iceland. All of the Nordic countries should pack their bags and tell Brussels to go pound sand. Out of all the European countries, I'd say they're in the best shape to do it.
Norway isn't in the EU and isn't planning on joining any time soon. Probably because they know that they would be forced to bail out Greece with their oil money.
Denmark and Sweden still use their own currency, so an EU exit wouldn't devastate them as much because they wouldn't have to suffer the pain of switching from Euro to old currency.
Finland has been hammered by the EU sanctions since Russia is a major trading partner. Their economy would be substantially better if they could freely trade with Russia again.
The Vikings vs the ZWO.
They don't want to be like US. I wonder what it could take to make Iceland more agreeable.
Did Bjork give them the finger?
This article made me go check on Albania's status for EU membership...i found this (war cloud) instead:
http://www.balkaninsight.com/en/article/all-balkan-states-enter-anti-is-...
Cue help and advice from the IMF because they surely won't be able to manage by themselves.
If the offer of help is rebuffed they can expect a visit from the CIA, A.K.A. a coup., to save them from themselves, you understand.
Actually, the IMF did a reasonably good job in Iceland. Not something one would expect, given the horrendous track record, but if the recovery after the crash would have been planned entirely by Icelandic politicians, then the country would be far worse off.
I bet one of the conditions for joining was to promise not to jail anymore banksters.
@ Miss Expectations
The coalition list in the article reads like a Who's Who of Pikers and all befitting a role of serving Vichy DC Interests.
POOR FUCKING SAPS, clueless from birth. Never aware of a stance their puppet, corrupt governments initiate on their behalf.
Don't they have Internet access to Z/H in Lithuania & Estonia or are they just THICK CUNTS who want to remain SERFS to Vichy DC?
The EU is like the ran-down, once prestigious, country club on the other end of town that now have a large % of their membership unemployed, working at walmart, etc. It's no longer cool.
Smart move ! ! ! ....
EU is a Satanic tool of the West and Bankers to castrate nations and deprive them of
their Sovereign control of their own defense, control of their own economies,control of their own
currencies, control of their own banking, control of their own individual foreign policies,
and control of their people....
It totally eludes me how any Nation could be so naive as to even consider relinquishing their Sovereign Rights and their unique individual Patrimony for the sake of convenience
