According to an investigation by an independent investigator, top jobs in the public sector in Iceland ,are all political.
Ministers appoint friends, relatives,or there friends in their political party.
This has always been in Iceland.
If you want something,then it is better to know someone high up.
And nothing will change, even though things are bad ,due to the Banking crisis.
Years from now,all the same people will be in charge,Bankers, politicians and so on.
Een though members of parliement took part in banking crisis,got big loans, ( in the hundreds of millions ) and do not have to pay the loans.
But the public, they are expendable.
They must pay all , less pay,higher taxes and so on .
Even though the took no part in the Banking Crisis.
But to keep up the good humor in people, here is a video i tool last week ,when the ICelandic Symphony was interuppted ,by Darth Vader himself.
He is in the later half of the video .
Hope you like it.

People in trouble in Iceland , and children got big loans
Looks like that every politician here in Iceland is thinking only about themselves.
The old pensioners are getting less pension, taxes will be raised, the disabled gett less money .
But money to the politicians and poltical parties from the parliement are not going down.
They still get all there wages, and everythinhg that goes with it.
Before the elections last april ,everybody running for parliement ,where promising to help the public and all.
But after the election , the all forgot their promises .
And since then ,people have been moving to other countries.
Family help independent service, i helping familys to get food and other things.
Looks like nobody will be held responsable for the corruption here in Iceland .
They are all going to help eachother ,those that are in power and the banking community .
Children got big loans
Islandsbanki - the new bank ,that was formerly known as - Glitnir, gave 10 children illeagal loans to buy stock in BYR a financial bank , before the banking crash last year.
The childrens parents demanded the loans , but there was no permission for this by the Sheriff, so it was illeagal.
Today Islandsbanki wrote these loans off , and apologized for this.

Mcdonald´s leaves the Icelandic economy ! video
Due to the bad economy here in Iceland , McDonalds, is closing down next saturday .
According to the CEO of McDonalds in Iceland, this is because that the Icelandic currency is low, and they have to import everything from Germany.
The Icelandic Krona has fallen 100 % to the Us Dollar since the banking crisis last year.
So the McDonalds franchise is no more in ICeland , and instead there will still be burgers at the McDonalds location, but new name - and no Mcdonalds franchise.
The new burger place will be called - Metro .
It will only use domestic beef ,cheese and so on.
Part of the Western civil civilization , as we know it , will leave Iceland next Saturday .
But as you can see on the Video - Colonel Sanders is not far away from the McDonalds location.
KFC , will still be in Iceland , so there maybe some hope yet !
McDonalds opened in Iceland in 1993.
And Mr. David Oddson , who was CEO of the Central bank during the Banking Crisis last year, and in 1993 he was Icelands Prime minister , was the first guest and ordered the first McDonalds hamburger in ICeland .
Will he get the last burger on saturday ?
Stay tuned !

Mr. Micheal Krajewsky was conducting,and the theme was , John Williams movie music.
Mr Krajewsky ,is known for conducting Movie music and has worked with many Symphony orchestras , in San Francisco ,Dallas,Detroit, Baltimore,Stþ Louis to name a few.

There comes a unknown individual ,dressed in black and with a helmet ,and he walks on the stage ,and pushes mr.Krajewsky off the stage ,and takes over conducting the Symphony .
And when the music is over , he gets great applouse from the Icelandic people that where there enjoying great music by John Williams.
