Iceland and Birgitta Jonsdottir, the Tip of the Spear against Global Orwellian Kleptocracy

[Joanne98]

Birgitta Jónsdóttir, member of Iceland and one of the five individuals whose Twitter accounts were just subpoenaed by the American government for complete access to as they continue their witch-hunt against Julian Assange, was interviewed by Amy Goodman of Democracy Now on January 13, 2011. To quote from Democracy Now:


The U.S. Department of Justice has subpoenaed the internet company Twitter for personal information from several people linked to the online whistleblower website WikiLeaks. The subpoena asks Twitter for all records and correspondence relating to their accounts. Icelandic parliament member Birgitta Jónsdóttir, who has collaborated with WikiLeaks, is one of the five people targeted by the subpoenas. "I think it opens up a whole can of worms when it comes to parliamentary immunity worldwide," Jónsdóttir says. "Icelandic authorities are taking this very seriously."


Birgitta is a unique public figure. She is at war, intellectually, legally, artistically and spiritually, with global corporate financial Kleptocracy and Orwellian warfare states. And she is a shining example to all of us as someone not afraid to speak out against the evils of our times and who also knows how to use all of her talents to creatively take on corrupt power. She, and those she has allied with in Iceland and the rest of the world are the Tip of the Spear against the crumbling citadels of the desperate and degenerate, institutionalized Forces of Greed in the world today.

BIRGITTA'S BIO :


Birgitta Jónsdóttir, a fiery Aries, a suitable metaphor for her life, and now a member of Althing, the Icelandic parliament, has long been an artist, activist and Hell-raiser in Iceland when not shaking things up globally. Born in Reykjavik, Bigitta relentlessly, over time, developed multiple talents in the fields of poetry, visual art, music, writing, editing and publishing as well as becoming an Internet pioneer, world-traveler and political activist. She had her first poetry collection Frostdinglar (Icicles), published when she was in her early twenties, also becoming more and more vocal as a politically focused artist to the point where she was organizing "Art against war", a protest movement by Icelandic artists and poets against the war in Iraq.
