You’ve been quoted as saying that everyone, save for Davíð Oddson, is responsible for the recession…
I used one reference from the Bible earlier, about the dance around the golden calf. There is another reference relevant here; the voice in the wilderness. I feel at times that Oddsson was the voice in the wilderness. I am not saying that he was infallible or perfect, or that everything he did was right—he made his mistakes like everyone else, he is frail and human. But he was the first to see the dangers of the ascending plutocracy.
Hannes Holmsteinn Gissurarson is everywhere these days, trying his darndest to influence how history will be written.

I think a better description of Davíð would be doctor Frankenstein.
The fact is that he was the one who created the monster. He did sometimes try to warn us about it, but at the same time he didn’t do anything to keep it down because he couldn’t bring himself to hurt his creation.

It’s a little entertaining how HHG is so obsessed with DO.

And the spin-doctoring begins in earnest. All the Austro-Chicagoans like HHG are singing in unison, blaming “government interference” for the reason we are “still” in this mess, conveniently ignoring that their anti-oversight policies got us into this mess in the first place. Further, their masters took advantage of lap-dog governments to effectively take over those governments, and in true Austro-Chicagoan fashion, they are merely using their “assets” (bought governments) for their own ends (spending tax money to bail themselves out while dodging prosecution).
