Reykjavík Grapevine - 28.08.2009, Page 4
Sour grape of the month
A case of POLAR BEER for your thoughts.
We're not gonna lie to you: we really love us some beers. Some folks
would call it a problem, but beer never gave us any problems. In fact,
over the years, it's solved most of 'em. A frosty glass of cold, frothy,
bubblicious, golden-tinted beer has consistently failed to let us down.
In the immortal words of Homer J. Simpson: "Mmm... Beer..."
Now, since we're real pleasant and giving folks here at the Grapevine,
we thought we'd share some of that wonderful POLAR BEER with
you, our readers. Henceforth, until the end of days (or our Polar Beer-
sponsorship program, whichever comes fi rst), we will reward one
MOST EXCELLENT LETTER with a case of the Polar Beer. You read
right. A full case of beer. At your disposal.

MOST AWESOME LETTER:
Sour grapes
and stuff
Iceland as a front in the war on human existance
Dear editor,
Feel free to publish this letter in your magazine. It is written mainly to follow
the initiative of the "In Defence Group" that encouraged people to explain the
Icelandic point of view, when it comes to the diplomatic clash with the countries
of EU in the wake of the banking collapse. I have been trying to get my articles
published in a series of papers now, but sadly few of them benefit from the truth
getting out about the attacks on Iceland.
I have been warning the Icelandic government and the media for the last couple
of years now that a fierce attack on Icelandic sovereignty has already been launched
and war has been going on for a while now. This attack, now in the height of it ś
devestation, has been carefully plotted for years now and is a significant part of an
elaborate scheme to bring Icelanders to their knees.
Why Iceland? Why are the English and Dutch suddenly so hostile towards
Iceland and why do they insist Icelanders surrender to slavery because of Icesave?
I will tell you, and although it might sound surreal and even a bit crazy, I insist
that you open your eyes to the conspiracy that is taking place right here, right now,
but has been going on for thousands of years. The conspiracy of the Beast against
mankind.
Whales are highly intelligent creatures with an ability to communicate that even
surpasses our own. What is more, they effectively practice mindcontrol on lesser
human subjects. I have countless proofs of this, none though as blatantly obvious
as the one embodied in the traitor Captain Watson of Sea Shepherd, who under the
spell of whales has been tireless in terrorizing his own kin for decades now, to the
benefit of whales.
Although we do not with the tools we now possess, fully understand how, we
can clearly see that whales actively practice mind control, so when it comes to
lobbying and political maneuvering, no beast is more capable than the whale.
The Icelandic foreign ministry offers no resistance. Not surprisingly so, as the
ministries strongest asset has long been the ability to throw good cocktail parties
for International bankers, much rather than mobilizing to secure Icelands image
and interrests around the world.
So the whales have had an easy task on that front. They have with the aid of
Green Peace and other similar terrorist groups, manipulated the world media, the
international finance sector and the rest of the international institutes to work
against us in the war on whales.
The Dutch and the English are simply acting on behalf of the Beast, just like
they did when Iceland started fighting back to break the siege of whales in the
summer of 2006. Embassadors were summoned and the governments of these two
countries made their alliegences clear. They were teaming up with the whales in
their battle against Iceland.
Iceland is fighting on more fronts though. Polarbears invaded last summer. As
they are the largest of all land predators on earth and more dangerous than most,
we must be concidered lucky that we suffered no casualties. Thanks to the heroic
effort of Icelandic policeforce the monsters were slain.
But that did not stop them from carrying out their mission, as the incident
caused public outrage. The police was in fact heavily critisized for offering the last
line of defence for our country. As obvious as it might now seem, the polarbears
were sent here for presicely that purpose. A suicide mission to divide our ranks as
well as rallying traitors to their cause.
Is it a coincidence that only months prior to the attack, ALL major international
media were bombarding people with cute childhood photos of Knut the white
spawn of Berlin, the latest successor to the throne of Hell. Appearing on covers of
more than a 10.000 newspaper and magazines worldwide in a matter of days, he
became the most famous german since...
All of a sudden, the world was in love with polar bears. The masses became
bewitched by Knuts shiny fur and innocent appearance and surely enough,
hostility towards Icelanders grew to new heights as reports emerged that we were
slaughtering polarbears for sport. The Beast had won another perfectly executed
PR-battle, and Knut the White Demon of Ba ál Moloch, grew stronger and more
inf luencial than ever before, sitting on his throne in Berlin, the heart of United
Europe.
I hope we will be able to turn the tables in this fight but the enemy is formiddable.
We cannot expect to win if people don´t know the enemy. Those who want to get
more information on the conspiracy, get more articles and study the history of
the Beast going back to the dawn of man, can send questions and comments to
ConspiracyoftheBeast@gmail.com.
Regards,
Dr. Berthold Manz
Co-Founder of the Albrecht foundation against Animal inf luence in the EU.
Dear Dr. Berthold,
Holy fucking shit. This is unnerving information. Hope the free beer helps you
drown out your worries. Since THE BEAST is taking over and all, we might as well
party down during our last days of freedom, right? Hope you don’t mind it’s POLAR
BEER you’ll be using for the last skáls.
Also, have you seen Zeitgeist and Zeitgeist Addendum? Or Nine Eleven Loose
Change? Do these beasts have anything to do with those conspiracies, ya think?

Hi,
Just a comment on Sari Peltonen's
review of Íslenski Barinn, in the current
issue. El Grillo is named after the wreck
in seyðisfjörður, but it sure isn't brewed
there. Before it was sold, sure, but ever
since it's public release it's
been brewed by none other than Öl-
gerðin, right here in reykjavik. I'm sure
they're very happy having you think it's a
from a nice arty town out east though :)
Still, glad to read about beer reviews in
a restaraunt review :)
Cheers,
Karl P
Dear Karl,
Thank you for clearing that up. Gosh,
I hope that was the *only* mistake we
made in our last issue.
Hello,
at the very beggining thank you for
your paper- it was really fine thing to read
it before our trip to Island , during it and
now, when we're back home. Really great,
great job!
Anyway, I just wanted to ask you if it
is possible to get a dvd release or anything
else, of the dreamland documentary. I
read the interview with the director in
May's edition of grapevine, managed to
get the book and now very eager to see the
movie. On the internet I could only watch
the trailers.
My friends are going to spend their
holidays in Iceland and I wondered- may-
be you could tell me if it is possible(and if
yes- where) to get the movie somewhere
in Reykjavik.
Thank you in advance and all the best
from Poland:)
Regards,
Ania
p.s.Didn't want to mention it at all, cause
it sounds like a cliche, but can't help to
write that Iceland rules!! Definitely the
most beautiful nad amazing place I have
ever been to.
Dear Ania,
Thank you for your letter and for your
kind words about the paper. Lord knows
we try our best. You know. A lot of folks
stay up all night making this thing,, so it’s
good that some of y’all appreciate it.
Anyway. We checked with the Dream-
land folks, and they tell me the film won’t
be out on DVD for a while to come. So
sorry about that, I guess, but once its out,
you can surely order it from somewhere
on the Internet. That place has lots of stuff
going for it.
Also, I had the good fortune of sitting
in a bus that rode through Poland in Feb-
ruary. I missed my flight from Berlin and
had to catch one from Warsaw. I had to get
to Warsaw via some budget bus. It was ac-
tually a pretty shitty experience all in all,
the bus was cold and it rained in there for
some reason, and I had to spend a lot of
money to get back to Reykjavík. Still, I was
pretty happy to have ridden through Po-
land, the folks I met there were extraordi-
narily nice, and I got a real good kebab at
some rest stop. And what I saw of it looked
real cool. I plan on going back.
