Listen to this remarkable WGDR radio interview, hosted by Plainfield, Vermont’s Jim Hogue, with Iceland’s own Birgitta Jonsdottir, who played an instrumental role in Iceland’s grassroots revolution against Big Banks, the 1%, and the attempted Bankster takeover of Iceland a few years ago and is now a self-described “hacker” in Iceland’s parliament. Jim and Birgitta discuss a wide range of topics, including Iceland and its bankers, whistleblowers and free speech, the promise and perils of civic activism, and, of course, Vermont secession and independence. “Laws are manmade, they are not a natural force,” Jonsdittir notes. “Laws can be changed.” Amen, Free Vermont, and long live the Untied States!
