Who or what force intervened to make sure that Vladimir Putin would not visit Greece during holy Orthodox Easter? Why is the government of interim premier Lucas Papademos responsible? What connection does the visit have with the global energy game? What role did and does the Rothschild and Sons company play in Greece's energy policy? And finally how is this all associated with the imprisonment of monk Ephraim and former PASOK minister Akis Tsochatzopoulos?
An incredible series of events was unfolded in this week's issue of Epikaira magazine (issue 132, released Thursday, April 26, 2012) concerning a proposed visit by Russian President Vladimir Putin just over a month ago. Some may recall that just before Orthodox Easter, there were reports that the Russian president was going to retreat to Mount Athos to spend the Easter holiday, but the trip never occurred because it was reported that the Greek government literally forbid him from doing so claiming that Greece was not ready to receive him because the country would be on hold on account of the holy holiday.

Unfortunately we found out through Epikaira that it was not the government itself that rushed to obstruct Putin from stepping foot on Greek soil, but rather a company that belongs to the Rothchilds family!
The article, which was written by Dimitris Konstantakopoulos claims that German and Russian fund energy officials were left speechless when they received no response from the Greek state on a proposal they had submitted concerning the privatization of Greece's energy transmission grid. Instead a letter was delivered to them from the Rothchilds and Sons Company, that was undated, did not contain a proper reference number, etc, and which more or less rejected their offer for no apparent reason!
According to Epikaira, which has over the past two years has shocked us with its investigative reports, the Rothchilds Company together with UBS have been acting together as advisers to the Greek government on matters that deal with the privatisation of state assets!
Shocking one would say, considering what we know about the Rothchilds. This is probably why the same German and Russian officials rushed to appeal this at a Berlin Court, the initiative of which was mobilized by EU representative in Athens, Horst Raichenmpach.
Before all this happened, the US Deputy Secretary of Foreign Affairs had made a rush trip to Athens and held a tet-a-tet with the head of Greece's Privatization Fund, Mr. Mitropoulos. The message was perfectly clear: No more playing around with the Russians and Greece must never allow them to get their hands on anything that concerns the Greek energy sector. "You will give all your assets to Israel and the Greek companies that are cooperating with Israel".
This sounded an alarm in Moscow, and the former Russian Minister for Energy Giousoupof made an unscheduled trip to Athens to speak with Mitropoulos. Little did he know that the head of Greece's Privatization fund was already in Israel.
Imagine how shocked the Russians were to discover that following Israel, Mitropoulos traveled to Moscow where he suddenly... disappeared.
The report claims that ofiicials at the Kremlin began looking for him, and then officials from Gazprom did the same and they could not locate his whereabouts. They even summoned the Greek Ambassador to Russia's Foreign Ministry in order to ask him why Mitropoulos was avoiding coming into contact with the Russian authorities!
The story gets better...
While this "energy game" was going on, another thriller was developing in Athens. A close associate informed interim premier Lucas Papademos that Putin wanted to make a private visit to the Holy Mountain in order to celebrate the Easter holidays, and Athens replied that he could but under two conditions. Putin had to first meet with Papademos in Thessaloniki in a secret tet-a-tet meeting, and then avoid stepping foot at the Vatopedi Monastery.
Yes the same monetary that was in the spotlight several months ago for jailing Monk Ephraim.
This was probably insulting... and too suspicious for Russian diplomats to understand so they did not follow up on their request. Nonetheless the Greek government totally ridiculed itself, as well as our country, because they created a diplomatic mess!
But the story does not end there....
Anyone who comes into contact with Russia in this country is suddenly put in jail. Monk Ephraim was jailed after visiting Russia last year where he raised funds for Greece's soup kitchens, while Akis Tsochatzopoulos was also jailed for purchasing Russian and German defense systems.
Obviously... there were kickbacks... We know that... But Akis is just the tip of the iceberg in what looks like a HUGE energy war between the West and the East... with Greece right smack in the middle.
