4. Thank you Wikileaks and Julian Assange, who released the documents proving the corruption

in Iceland's Banks and Government. They received a 'warning' at the time and were 'ordered' by the Banks to take down those documents.

They did not and Iceland was able to identify its criminals, oust the corrupt government and arrest those who were involved.


That was the beginning of the targeting of Wikileaks and Assange because they could not allow any more countries to follow Iceland's example.

I remember when what was a little known Whistle Blowing site put those documents online and how soon afterwards the smearing and attacks on Wikileaks began.
