NOT the same people as in Hardin but the exact same MO: ad hoc website, alleged deep pockets, big plans, rescue from financial crisis. APF started driving around Hardin in vans IDing them as the police, this Dutch company started running a slideshow of the Iceland former NATO base on their website BEFORE anyone had agreed to take them on (and for all I know the website didn't exist before the deal and discussions with Icelandic authorities).
It's interesting to note Julian Assange points out the overlap of local police and intelligence in Iceland as a consequence of their not having a dedicated intel agency. The police who interrogated the wikileaks volunteer and seized the computer were local, of the sheriff variety, and the local sheriff near the former NATO base was a major proponent of leasing the base to the firm no one knows anything about, other than that they were barred from operating in Canada.
My guess in answer to Jan's thoughts would be this has something to do with the terrorism laws Gordon Brown brought to the ICESAVE negotiations before they even started in order to facilitate the seizure of Iceland's assets. Netherlands is the other "plaintiff" seeking to force Iceland to turn private debt into sovereign debt using misconstrued EU law on deposit insurance. Iceland isn't even an EU member and even if it were, the law doesn't specify anything more than that member countries should have an FDIC-like system in place.
Very interesting.
