Icelanders Overthrow Government and Rewrite Constitution After Banking Fraud - No Word From Media. Grassroot Revolt Underway in US.

Can you imagine participating in a protest outside the White House and forcing the entire U.S. government to resign?

Can you imagine a group of randomly chosen private citizens rewriting the U.S. constitution to include measures banning corporate fraud?

It seems incomprehensible in the U.S., but Icelanders did just that.

Icelanders forced their entire government to resign after a banking fraud scandal, overthrowing the ruling party and creating a citizen’s group tasked with writing a new constitution that offered a solution to prevent corporate greed from destroying the country.

The constitution of Iceland was scrapped and is being rewritten by private citizens; using a crowd-sourcing technique via social media channels such as Facebook and Twitter. These events have been going on since 2008, yet there’s been no word from the U.S. mainstream media about any of them.

In fact, all of the events that unfolded were recorded by international journalists, overseas news bureaus, citizen journalists and bloggers.

This has created current accusations of an intentional cover up of the story by mainstream U.S. news sources.

An “iReport” on CNN, written by a private citizen in May 2012, has questioned the reasons why this revolution has not been widely covered in the U.S., suggesting that perhaps the mainstream media is controlled by large corporate interests and thus has been unwilling to report on Iceland’s activities.

That report is currently making its way around social media.
