Due to the meltdown of Icelands economy which leaves me without most of my savings I please ask you to consider to buy something from my websites and if you would like a fine art print of any of my photographs on Icelandphotoblog.com but isn't available on my fine art print store just feel free to contact me and I will make it available ASAP!

The situation past two weeks has left the nation in shock and economical speaking probably 20-30 years back or more. Our currency has lost 70% of its value against the USD and 80-90% against the EURO!

I don't like begging but at least you will get something in return for your hard earned money.
Let me know if you think the price is too high/low. I want you to be satisfied and happy with your buy!

My situation was very good before the weekend (had good savings and almost debt free) but after the weekend my savings and investments are almost all gone and I'm left with more debt than savings. :( Fortunatly I still have a job but for how long nobody knows!

My future plans are now in ruins and now I need to find a ground to build another future on. That's why I'm turning to all my internet friends and hopefully someone can help. Every USD or EURO helps!

Enough assistance will also keep me able to continue my websites and keep photographing and making music for your enjoyments.

Thank you in advance!

Ps. I will keep you updated on the progress here in Iceland. If you have ever considered to come to Iceland - now is the time!

hey falcon1 sorry to hear of the economic troubles in Iceland ... I blame George W. Bush.

Hi falcon1 and CT64 :tiphat::tiphat:

Dear falcon1 :tiphat: I can only agree with you as for the current hopeless economical situation for Iceland having had such a progress in the economy during the 1990´s and up to this USA created financial world wide crises as of today, reminding ourselves of a possible revival on the Wall Street Crash on Black Thursday in Óctober in the USA in 1929, which launched the period in the USA called - The Depression in the 1930´s. But that´s history.

Dear CT64 :tiphat:

So you do have a minor knowledge on international politics and economics, since you´re not even a fighter/protester on gay polices, after all. However not that much evidently, since you blame George W. Bush on this current disasterous economical matter.

Sorry sir CT64! But for once in the past devastating "USA down the drain" - philosophy dominated by the christian crusadors of the Republican Party in the US for the past consecutive 8 years, we can not blame Junior (GWB) on the current economical crises in the USA and the world among corporate buisnesses, banks and insurance companies, like the AIG, Lemann etc. etc. as to the reason for the economical crises today, but we can blame Junior for hiding it and obvoisuly to all Americans leaving this disaster to the next President of the USA come the November 4 election, probably after last night´s debate between the two competitors Senator McCain and Senator Obama - it will be Barack Obama to win the Presidency of the pretended democracy of USA, who is way ahead and now after Senator McCain entitled and adressed Senator Barack Obama - That One. Indicating - the expression That One - equals "a thing" or "an animal". But then we all knew that Senator McCain has always had huge problems with his temper, so being left without any chances of becomming the next president post his disquise involved in an old coruption scandale, he boiled over last night in the most devastating and condescending remarks towards his oponent from the Democrats, Senator Barack Obama, on Live TV world wide.

The current USA disasterous economical crises began in the first part of the 1990´s, when the housing industry for builders and contractors excploded in the USA from coast to coast. But as always with the USA - pretending to be -, like with the covered up USA performed terrorists operations throughout South America 1955-1985, and the current covered up GENOSIDE to the state of Iraq and the iraqi people, since the first invation of Iraq, due to Saddam Hussain´s invation of Kuwait, leaving 1,4 million children since then from the age of one day to 12 years of age victims of mass starvation in Iraq (what we internationally according to the Human Rights and the Rome Statute from the year 2000 on GENOSIDE, entitled Passsive Genoside). Add to this the current number of 1.270 million iraqi adults killed by bombs from above or machineguns, crowded bombs, hand granates, land mines and fire from the artillery - The usual standard orders for US soldiers - Shoot To Kill.

So dear Aussie resident, I thank you humbly and respectfully for this completely unexpected opportunity for me, you know, interested in international politics, hence 30 years of work within politics in the EU and Africa, and in particular the history and culture of the USA from the Declaration of Independence in 1776, to give you some facts that you should have known, before giving Junior the blame on this crises too.

However, it is a fact that the first suggestion from President Junior to this 700 billion dollar "rescue package" was meant by Junior to help his friends in corporate America. For the first time in US histrory since 1776, using communist methods like one Fidel Castro on Cuba, when he wiped out the former President Batista, by nationalising the casinos and the banks from these mobsters from the USA. Like I´ve stated in January, the elite in both communism and capitalism often using the same methods, though nationalising banks and corporate buisnesses in America, completely new and not appropriate to even his own political party members. That´s why the whole deal had to be rewritten, so the taxpayers could not be taken hostages on this matter created by corporate America.

The "rescue package" on 700 billion dollars, which will not make any difference in rescuing USA out of the mess created by the banks and investment bankers this particular highly religous Republican government has been hiding for the past 8 years, probably praying to God for help for the past 8 years, evidently with no results.

That is why is was so obvious to all representatives in the Senate from both parties that this suggestion had to be rewritten, so the taxpayers (as usual in the history of the USA) should NOT be fined for something not at all their fault.

Investing way to much money in the construction buisnesses in the 1990´s, building new houses, not many people could afford at that time, cost a lot of small buisnesses their lives, leaving the depths to the banks unpayed for.

CT64, perhaps you should have contacted your alter ego at the MIMF, before handing the blame for this revival of the possible Wall Street Crash 1929/2008 economical disaster, to President Junior too.

For anyone who has the courage to study the covered up ongoing GENOSIDE to the State of Iraq and the innocent iraqi people:

http://www.dissidentvoice.org/Oct06/Petersen16.htm - aprox. at the price of 700 billion dollars 2003-2008 to be payed for by the US tax payers.

Thank you all for your comments.

If you don't have space for large print or just don't want to buy photo then I have put a simple donation button on this webpage !

Thank you all and hopefully I can withdraw this S.O.S as soon as possible, I'm however afraid that recovering process for Iceland economy will be slow and painful. :(

Aloha CT64,

It is regretful that Intet has to push his political views on this forum down into everyone's craw. If he could just moderate them a smidgeon - now it is only overbearing and pitiful.

Humbly,

Yes indeed, but that's his path.

The Australian, our only national broadsheet has an article about Iceland's second largest bank going into receivership ... yikes.

CT64 and your alter ego across the pond, sir Corno Dolce :tiphat::tiphat:, whom I took the liberty yesterday to invite to this thread, hoping he as a naturalised american could add some info on how the heck the USA is going to solve this economical disaster they created themselves within the corupt corporate America, not to mention the institutionalised coruption on the Hill in Washington DC? But as always whith sir Corno Dolce, he stoops to the typical personal ignorant accusations towards someone, who knows better than him, in the most typical USA way - DENIAL, of the economical facts.

What the world has witnessed these past few weeks is just the beginning of an avalanche - the top of the visible iceberg, so to speak, according to more than 400 international well respected economists.

Add to this that every international stock exchange whether it´s in New York, Tokyo, London, Sao Paulo, Moskow, Johannesburg or Sydney know the same truth.

In America the expression: "A runaway train", seems appropriate here.

sir Corno Dolce :tiphat: and my dear former half danish/english CT64 :tiphat: (lols).

Don´t worry my dear havaiician unequal, I have forgiven you like a true christian must do, to turn the other cheek, like I have done so many other times before during the past, close to, 10 months. To me, you seem to have become increasingly funnier. :grin::grin::grin::grin:

Of course had there in America been true equal justice among all 300 million americans, no matter of colour or creed, then these mobsters from the executive offices in the pent houses in Florida or other cities where corupt wealthy americans prefer to live, then if justice existed for all americans equally, these CEO´s would have been indicted on criminal accusations for breaking the laws of banking in the USA and the international code of banking.

But it has never happend before, except when The American Dream of Buisnesses, the proposingly most secure and gloryfied company in the latter part of the 20th Century, the American mirage - ENRON - finally a couple of years ago was disclosed and had to admit that the books and numbers given for the Wall Street Shuffle had been cooked and falsyfied for years on end - the American way.

This scandale however did not make any President of the USA at that time to insure the small time savers, who had put their hard earned money in to ENRON - in what is known throughout the world as - In Good Faith, assuming that with this company the American Dream of Buisnesses ENRON, everyone was safe for life?

They lost every dime they had saved, and no President of the USA came to their rescue. But then, they were just ordinary hard working americans.

So this time in 2008, 16 years post the first signals of this threatening economical crises, originated in the USA in the beginning of the 1990´s, but spread to the rest of the world, for instance Iceland, where falcon1 lives, like a brush fire within 24 hours a week ago, we will expect the un-cared-for-group-of-americans, estimated to be around 48 million americans as of today close to 1 out of every 6 americans of various colours, who do not have a regular adress, who do not have a regular income, who do not have social security, who do not have health insurance etc. etc. etc. - TO INCREASE DRAMATICLY within the next 12 months, because a lot of americans will lose their houses, farms and homes for the families, because they also lose their jobs.

12 months from now because the whole economical disaster throughout the entire USA and towards foreign countries, dealing with american banks on a regular basis have ended. The entire scenario is not visible at the moment. No one knows how a local bank in Akron, Ohio will be affected by this global desease, if they have to turn the key, if they will have to admit, that the savings are lost for good?

The so called rescue package rewritten by the US Senate on behalf of a majority of representatives from both political parties, will guarantee every american citizen his savings secured up to the roof of 250.000 dollars (in their dreams), but it can´t insure anyone for not losing his or her job, only to line-up in the line of millions of already unemployed americans, because the local company has to turn the key victimised by this global economical disaster created by corupt corporate America and a few hundred bought and payed for american politicians on the Hill, who deliberately have covered up the huge economical disaster we all face now. The same politicians on the Hill, who are responsable for the trippling of the price of what one barrel of Suadi oil cost, 4 years ago.

In Europe within the EU right now there seem to be a majority of countries, who will submit to the danish suggested model, which demands for all banks and other alike buisnesses to enter a gigantic sum of money to a national trustfond, as security of their responsabilities. Each state in every country then will submit with the same amount of money equally to the total sum of money entered by the banks.

Right now the suggestion from the danish government for Denmark alone, the demands to the banks calculating around 6.5 billion dollars, which will have to be entered in to a national controled trust fond. But it´s still a suggestion, not legalised by danish law yet.

Facts are, as we have known for the past 5-8 years, after the USA lured the entire western world in to the ilegal invation of the wrong sovereign country of Iraq, which did not have the WMD´s, nor where Osama Bin Laden has ever been. We all know, we can not trust the USA anymore, when the USA lie to it´s loyal friendly countries since the WWII, that´s why dear guys, one resident in Australia and one naturalised american on Hawaii - the very reason to WHY? the international combined coalition forces, cheated and lied to by these United States of America, fell a part.

So you see guys, the good thing for you on an educational level, you can learn something new about your own country, poiliticians and politics around banks every day, and then of course free of a fee from a foreignor.

HI everybody who follow this thread!

I never felt polically involved and i surely never really be, because i have some sort of zen attitude towards existence. nevertheless, i have learnt that in politics as it is generally conceived there are two main sides, or wings, that we call right and left. very simplistic but true. mister Val, chief of a left-winged satyrical journal called Charlie Hebdo, once said once said on a tv show that we all were born right-winged, that is to say, carrying a programmed selfishness and survival instinct, that make each person the centre of the world. then he said that to be left-winged is an everyday work that we have to supply, an effort we always have to renew, and that it was why he considered himself as a left-winged man.

well, despite all the clichés linked to the popular history of the left wing worldwide, and those linked to the right wing, with its market realism, i do feel that the quoted mister Val is right. being dissident is unfortunately a perpetual need, and being dissident is, among other things, being informed, as much as we can. points of view on politics can be discussed but economic facts can not be, as can not be denied the scandalous behaviour of the world-leading country (cause that's the truth). the biggest economic scandals took place in this country, adding to the fact that the biggest military mistakes and against-international-laws decision have been taken by this country's government.
the only country that actually used the big bomb against (innocent) people is that same country.

i know i begin to sound a bit like a living left-winged cliché, but i can't do anything about it. so i think i can say i share my mate intet-at-tabe's views. by the way i congratulate him for his awareness, even if awareness always have to be updated, and freed from clouds of mistakes or "parti-pris" sometimes.

sorry for my usual typing flaws. my finger got as slippery as the economic situation of the world.

may you always keep faith in the unknown! i'm out of work, t'was about time... courage, falcon1

For the 117th time sir Corno Dolce, when you repeatedly misquote my entries. What I enter is not my personal political views, but what a majority of countries world wide have had to realise about these United States of America 2000-2008, who concistingly for more than 10 years lied to the world about the suspected WMD´s never to be found either by the UN weapon inspectors, nor found by the USA, when first having invated Iraq. In fact the USA completely lost the interest in searching for these suspected hidden WMD´s - for the simple reason like we all knew and the CIA and The White House knew, they never excisted in Iraq. In fact disclosed by European whisteblowers employed within the European military intelligence.

Simply lies, lies and then some more lies from the greatest, the richest (not anymore though) the smartest, the best educated country, the former only Super Power of the world (I do emphasize "former"). How many former loyal friends and countries do you really think America can count on right now?

You witnessed like the rest of the world a couple of years ago, what happened when President Junior had planned for a charming offensive in South America, visiting 5 countries, where the US for years have employed child labour for slave saleries. He almost never made it out of South America alive, everywhere he went the people of the five major countries in South America protested on the streets shouting: Go Home Bush, We Don´t Need You, Nor Want You - a commercial disaster and defeat both for Junior personally and for the USA politically in particular.

This could not have happened bacause of my personal political views, eh?

I still miss your explanation on the name Mogens Glistrup, you entered from weeks ago, at least you could admit there is no, and never has been any whatsoever equallity between President Junior, the picked, payed for and puppetteered loony towards the danish/EU tax ekspert Mogens Glistrup. I mean obviously no equallity at all. Mogens Glistrup had 78 lawyers and an unidentified number of accounters employed in his company, serving as an expert throughout different danish governments for more than 20 years, and worth mentioning - Mogens Glistrup had a full functional independent, not payed for, brain. Need I say more?

3 or 4 nights ago on TV, some economy wizard in the USA said they were going to get the best brains in Wall St to oversee the bail out, now I thought it was these very people that were responsible for it in the first place:nut: funny that
IMHO people have been encouraged to live well beyond their means and are now among the first to suffer, :pray:but what do I know I’m just a simple Tax payer

J.H.C. - very good point about living beyond one's means. Most of us do that. I've finally paid the one credit card I ever had off and won't go back to having another. If I can't pay by BPay, or EFT, or PayPal etc, then I don't buy it.

UPDATE! Yesterday the government of Iceland enforced stricht limitation of using foreign currencies. That means that I now can't go into bank to buy/sell currency over 100 EURO's ! Thank God for Paypal because through that I will, with your support, be able to continue my websites!

I want to remind you that my email address to use on paypal is stefanh AT simnet.is (business: Falconcreations)

I also heard yesterday that people here are having difficulty to use their credit cards online, so Amazon etc. seems to be out for Icelanders.

PayPal keeps me still alive!
