SPECIAL REPORT - The Geopolitical & Economic Factors Behind Golden Dawn's Fate


Friends, the events that unfolded in Greece over the last few days may have occurred after a brutal murder was committed but one has to really look at the broader reasons why these arrests may have been made, and the timing. Firstly everything was done quickly, and swiftly, and anyone who has ever lived in Greece knows very well that the Greek public sector, and especially the judicial system, has never  acted quickly or swiftly on any given subject. We here at HellasFrappe are convinced that there is more to this case than meets the eye, and we feel that this is not about defending the purposes of law and order, and/or to elevate the government's popularity, but could possibly concern (upcoming) geopolitical reasons.

The decision to jail the leader of Golden Dawn, Nikolaos Michaloliakos is already regarded as giving the coalition government a breath of air, because on Tuesday it came under harsh criticism from foreign forces who have not hidden their desire to eradicate Greece of the far-right party. Even if Michaloliakos was released, he would not know where to run and hide, because the messages that Athens was receiving from all around the globe after the other GD officials were released were just too overwhelming. They also spoke about a laughable handling of the whole case against the far-right Greek party and of course ridiculed the ND party.

Domestically, the situation caught most media outlets by surprise, and almost instantly they began pointing the finger at the Minister of Order Mr. Dendias, as well as the head of Justice Mr. Athanasiou. In fact, some PASOK and leftist-backed sites went a step further and said that Evangelos -the Large- Venizelos (or as we here at HellasFrappe insist is the voice of the Troika in Athens (Troika equalling to the establishment) even threatened Prime Minister Antonis Samaras that he would abandon the coalition government and force the country to go to national elections. (Check out the story in Greek - PASOK To Abandon Coalition - Venizelos Asks For Resignation of Dendias!)

In fact senior members at various institutions in Brussels are very upset on how the whole case was handled by the Samaras government (notice they do not condemn Evangelos, only Samaras). In a PASOK-ruled state, this does not surprise us, because we have often said that Samaras may be prime minister, but everything else in this country -or specifically every other state department- is ruled by PASOK (especially the union of Greek journalists).

And while all this was going, a report on defencenet said that President of the European Commission Jose Manuel Barroso and President of the European Parliament Martin Schulz were stunned at the prosecution's decision to release the first few GD MPs. In fact they were completely dumbfounded when they discovered the news. There was also word in the Greek press that throughout their discussions on Wednesday, they were extremely critical of the Greek government noting that it did not handle the case well, and that the case was too impromptu (proving HellasFrappe's analysis on Tuesday which noted that the evidence against Golden Dawn was not only weak, it was also ridiculous).

We also noticed that even the New York Times said the same thing, going a step further and noting -as we did several days ago here on HellasFrappe- that this whole case will turn around and boomerang on the whole establishment.

On the aforementioned defencenet article we also discovered that Berlin was demanding that Greek officials do away with this party "here and now" and arrest party leader Nikos Michaloliakos immediately. (Excuse us... is this a command?)

Interestingly, PASOK, who has literally led the campaign against Golden Dawn (even more so than GD's arch rival SYRIZA), was totally shocked with the Greek justice system's decision on Tuesday and word has it that at Harilaou Trikoupi (home of PASOK party headquarters) most officials were totally numb when they heard the news. Read more about this on ProtoThema

This was also stated in an article in the TA NEA newspaper on Wednesday, which notes that the green socialists were very disappointed with the Greek justice system. So much so in fact that while calling on all institutions to stand up to the challenge (or basically you are either with us, or you are against us), Venizelos expressed his disappointment against justice officials, and even questioned their independence and credibility. Believe it or not he had the audacity to say that this independence should be based on the integrity of democracy and the rule of law (but what he really meant was that it should be based on his law and his interpretation of what democracy should be).

This direct intervention by Venizelos against Greek justice officials (because they decided to release his political opponents) can be viewed as an indirect threat to the magistrates and prosecution that are investigating the case, but on a broader scale it can also be viewed as a direct threat to our democracy. (Let us not forget who Mr. The Large represents.)

But PASOK's attacks on GD, and the decision by the justice system to release the other GD officials did not stop with Venizelos. Most PASOK officials at Harilaou Trikoupi also heavily criticized the head of Justice Mr. Athanasiosl, who they said, "had created the impression that all the evidence (against GD) was tied".

Another report on defencenet said that after PASOK's political council meeting, it was decided that they will not comment on the case until the justice system decided what to do with GD member Christos Papas. (In other words, if the Greek justice system decides to release Papas then is it safe to assume that they will come out with vicious attacks against the justice system again, threaten to pull their MPs from the coalition government, and/or ask for the resignations of both the head of the Police Department and the Minister of Order?)

Is this PASOK's (= establishment's) view of an independent Greek justice system that respects the integrity of democracy and the rule of law? The obvious answer is a loud NO.

Some may ask, why such a menace by Venizelos against GD. Good question. Let us not forget who Venizelos represents and what position he holds in the government. Currently he is Minister of Foreign Affairs and this alone says a lot. This Ministry obviously handles geopolitical issues, and there are many national issues brewing at the moment in our corner of the world under his command. (Which should not allow many Greeks to sleep easy at nights).

If you are wondering how the "establishment" operated under PASOK's rule, then you can either go back in time and begin reading some headlines between 1996-2004 or you can also watch the video below -at about 27 minutes into the show-, where veteran journalist George Trangas reveals how he was persecuted by the Greek justice system for exposing a series of strategies from Turkey, and the West (US and/or Germany) full of anti-Hellenic actions that are against Greece's national interests. These two strategies, he claims, were presented to him by Antonis Samaras in the late 90s. Keep in mind that Venizelos is Simitis' protege and as we noted before the eyes and ears of the Troika in Greece. What Trangas reveals at this point in the video only proves our theory that the persecution of Golden Dawn has more dimensions than those presented in this article, as well as by the poor arguments made on the mainstream media.

So what are the geopolitical factors involved currently?

We discovered a small analysis on this on the defence-point website. For one, is it a coincidence that the arrests of the Golden Dawn MPs occurred during the time when Evangelos -The Large- Venizelos was in the United States? More importantly isn't it strange that the arrests occurred on the day that Antonis Samaras was flying out to the US to meet with Venizelos who had prepared the groundwork -with very prominent organizations in the US- on how to "sell Greece" better and make it more appealing?

Basically Venizelos' groundwork centers around the convening of a High Level Cooperation Council (or the joint meeting of the Cabinet of Greece and Israel) which is due in a couple of days. For this, Samaras will pay an official visit to Israel on October 8 where he is due to meet with President of Israel Shimon Peres and the Patriarch of Jerusalem Theophilos and then go on to Tel Aviv where he is expected to seal this strategical and geopolitical alliance between Athens and Tel Aviv, Let us not forget that Israel has a decisive stance on Greek (and Cypriot) geopolitical and energy issues (and let us also remember that the banking system runs on money from energy. It is starting to make sense now isn't it?).

But before all this happens, Samaras had to sell Greece to these influential people. That is why it is no surprise why he held a series of meetings with the American Jewish lobby as well as with various prominent American policy makers (who have not really hidden their negativity against the GD party) because we all know that these are the most influential groups world wide for investment and most importantly matters of energy. Greece is getting ready to delineate its EEZ and the timing of these meetings, the sealing of the Greece, Cyprus and Israel alliance comes at the right moment.

Meanwhile, many Greek reports claim that one of the reasons the State decided to crackdown on Golden Dawn -at this particular time- may have something to do with the requests by various Jewish lobbies that have been pressuring Samaras to do away with the Greek far-party.

This is not as far-fetched as it sounds. Just a few days before Samaras went to New York, the Executive Director of the American Jewish Lobby urged Greece to take action against Golden Dawn. We discovered this article from GreekReporter:
     "David Harris, Executive Director of the American Jewish Committee (AJC), the largest Jewish organization in the U.S., said he believes that the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party “is a clear threat to Greece”. The announcement of the American Jewish organization was released after an online article from extremists claimed that the Central Board of the Jewish Organizations in Greece created the recent anti-national hysteria against Golden Dawn, which warned the group to stay out of the affairs of Greece. The threats of Golden Dawn against the Jewish organizations began as a response in a press release issued by the Central Board of Jewish Organizations in Greece in which they asked all political parties in the country to work together to pass a “strong and effective bill that will face the problems of racism, bigotry and anti-Semitism” while requesting the legislative action to ban the political parties that promote Nazi ideology." - Source USA-GreekReporter
Harris apparently held a meeting with Samaras in New York on Monday. And following the arrests of GD officials we also discovered this story from the New Observer:
     "The arrests of all the democratically-elected Golden Dawn parliamentarians followed demands by Greece’s Jewish lobby that action be taken against what they called “racists” - even though the Jewish state is the most overtly racist country in the world and even checks the DNA of potential immigrants in order to make sure their own gene pool remains purely Jewish." Source - New Observer
While in New York, Samaras gave a speech to the American Jewish Committee, where he said that he would do whatever was necessary to “completely eradicate” the Golden Dawn from Greek political life. Ronald Lauder, the head of the World Jewish Congress, called for Golden Dawn to be destroyed five days prior to the detention of GD’s leaders. An article on the World Jewish Congress’s website candidly outlines Lauder’s role in this:
     "Words of condemnation, although important, won’t suffice. Greece’s leaders need to take action against those who create a climate of fear and who pose a threat to many of their fellow citizens. Greece’s democratic forces have a moral obligation to unite against Golden Dawn leaders”, especially those who publicly incite to crimes, preach hate against minorities, deny and belittle the Holocaust, or viciously assault people based on the color of their skin, their ethnic background, or their political views,” declared Lauder. He lamented that, despite assurances given to him and others by Prime Minister Samaras and members of his government, no concrete bill has been adopted by the Greek governing coalition due to internal disagreements.
      “There can be no legitimate place in the Greek parliament for parties whose public statements and actions are racist or anti-Semitic and who operate in many ways like the Nazis did seventy years ago. If legislation is insufficient to deal with such organizations and individuals, it ought to be strengthened, because the people of Greece deserve to be protected from the forces that seek to destroy liberal democracy and reject even basic civil rights,” said the WJC president.
     "In March 2013, the WJC held a meeting of its Executive Committee in Thessaloniki. In a resolution, leaders urged the Greek authorities “to take serious and concerted actions against Holocaust denial, anti-Semitism, racism and xenophobia; implement all relevant European laws in that domain; and unite all democratic forces against the enemies of democracy, so as not to allow society to drift into the darkness of racial hatred and anti-Semitism" Source - Source World Jewish Congress website
But it wasn't only this lobby that urged the Greek government to take action against the Golden Dawn party, it was also the European Jewish Congress as well. We discovered this story on the Canadian CBC:
     "On Sunday, the Brussels-based European Jewish Congress welcomed the crackdown on Golden Dawn, calling it a long overdue move which will hopefully send a very strong message to neo-Nazis in Greece and across Europe. In a statement, congress President Moshe Kantor, said: We congratulate Prime Minister Antonis Samaras on the crackdown … and hope that the Greek leadership will make this a central part of the European Union presidency, which they will assume in January 2014." Source CBC
And finally we discovered this article on the Jerusalem Post (which upset us, because the individuals who made these comments influence the Greek banking sector):
     "As Jews, we are very happy” about the arrests, Benjamin Albalas, head of the Central Board of Jewish Communities in Greece (KIS), told The Jerusalem Post on Sunday. 'This group, I don't call them a party, is a neo-Nazi group and I think that the government will go until the end.'
     David Saltiel, former president of the KIS, told the Post that he didn’t see a blanket ban of the party in the offing, but did encourage the removal of the party’s leadership. Golden Dawn is 'not a political party, but a gang,' he said, echoing his successor. 'The Jewish community always said that the Golden Dawn was a Nazi party and that the government has to be aware. Either they will ban Golden Dawn, or dismantle it – one way or the other – but Golden Dawn as we knew it is over for good,' he said. Source - Jerusalem Post
Meanwhile, in Europe, Angela Merkel's designs of a Europe -built on a German prototype- is currently in the air. Word has it that Italy's Sylvio Berluscconi -or the bad boy of Europe- had warned that if the government of Leta (which is the Troika's voice in Italy) insisted on increasing the Value Added Tax (VAT) against the will of the Italian people then he would pull out his MPs from government, and he did! The center-leftist Leta -and the Troika- ignored his warning and as a result, five prominent Italian MPs pulled out of government, but their resignations were not accepted by Leta. Obviously this rocky situation in Italy is giving Merkel a migraine, and so it is more than obvious that another political crisis in Greece would only add to her pain and would only weaken her almighty Euro and further endanger the Eurozone.

And she is not alone. Senior members of the European Commission said that the release of any GD officials, even under restrictive conditions, demolishes the assurances that Brussels had received from the Greek Government that the Greek state (and the EU) were "finished with the neo-Nazis." (Question: Who promised Brussels that they were finished with GD? Let us guess... Does it come in a Large size?)

In Greece, aside from the usual slandering and mud-slinging that has been going on from the Greek press against Golden Dawn we also discovered another whopper of a story!

A report on Olympia on Wednesday said that officials at Kathimerini and SKAI channel left it to be understood that the release of the GD officials, was because the Greek justice system was influenced by forces close to former leader of ND Costas Karamanlis.  As incredible as this sounds, it has a clearer meaning if you know how to read between the lines and if you look back on the history of Karamanlis' term in government -especially after the fires in the Peloponnese and just before the 2008 fires in central Athens-. He cracked down on the Greek media, and was criticized for it 24/7 and if you study his relationship with Brussels and the West during this period you will automatically realize that Karamanlis was not well-liked in Brussels, and he was especially not like by the Bush administration because he had made a decision to form energy alliance with Russia, had vetoed FYROM's entry to NATO and even had been against the dangerous Annan plan for Cyprus. What does this all mean? Simple: They (meaning officials at Kathimerini) are trying to show that the justice system was influenced by non-Western tones -via Karamanlis-. If this is so, is it safe then to assume that GD is being persecuted because of pro-Western tones? (Good one! :-) ) (Check out the story on olympia)

In short, the Greek State was and is under a lot of pressure to bump heads with Golden Dawn, or the same forces that it helped to create. Also, the timing for the arrests is too coincidental, but it remains to be seen how all this will sell with these foreign interests because whether we like it or not -and thanks to George Papandreou- we are bound hand and foot to all of them through the unconstitutional memorandums.

In conclusion, it may not matter at all whether or not the Golden Dawn is guilty of all the crimes it has been charged with, the establishment clearly wants them out of the way and if the establishment wants you out of the way for any given reason, they will raise hell on high water until they achieve this. They control our banks, our energy and the food on our tables, and they can make you disappear, discredit you and even send you sailing in a gutter at a flick of a wrist. Will the Greek justice system prevail, will it stand on its own and examine this case objectively and independently without allowing all these forces to intimidate it? No one knows. But seriously folks, let us be realistic, it is going to be very difficult, when we know that most of the banks, the rating agencies, the think tanks and the policy makers make up the so-called "establishment".

This is ofcourse unless GD compromises... The question is will they?

Stay tuned Frappers.

SPECIAL REPORT - Anti racist Bill Must Be Scrapped & Rewritten - Does Not Recognize Greek Genocides

Justice Minister Antonis Roupakiotis, his DIMAR party and especially PASOK are using a very anti-Hellenic anti racist bill to provide a new criminal tackling against racism and xenophobia. Indeed the phenomenon of racism and xenophobia has to be tackled, but this bill is scandalous, and it should not be tabled in Parliament.

The bill provides punishments such as jail time from three months to six years, a fine of 20.000 euros and finally, removal of political rights for all those that don't endorse the "anti racist" State directives. Specifically, those are the punishments that will be faced by "whomever publicly, orally or through the Press or the Internet or any other means cause or stimulate violence against a team or a person based on race, religion, heritage and sexual orientation". This is all well and good, but the new draft law also denies the importance of genocidal crimes, or crimes against humanity, war criminals and the crimes of Nazism and Fascism.

Nazism and Fascism we agree, but genocidal crimes (such as the death of over 300,000 Greeks in Asia Minor)?

Are they crazy?

And PASOK and DIMAR are actually endorsing this.

From what we read, and from what has already been confessed, the bill was not drafted in Greece, it was actually a translation of a foreign document. (From which centers... those that belong to George Soros?)

Basically the bill follows the standard of similar laws in European states, like Germany, and the need to pass this bill is dictated by the panic the phenomenal rise of the Golden Dawn party has caused to all these globalist left wing servants and their masters.

Obviously genocidal crimes cannot be erased from history because they offend specific minorities, so it is going to be interesting to see how the conservatives will tackle this with their Leftist coalition partners.The public is going to be totally outraged!

At the same time this bill violates the Greek Constitution and the right of all the citizens to partake in the social and political life of the country (article 5, section 1), the right to free expression of ideas and the prohibition of Press censorship (article 14, section 1 and 2) as well as the freedom of religious consciousness (article 13, section 1), from the moment it demands to forbid expression against other dogmas, a basic element of the freedom of speech.

The law predicts that if a MP expresses his opinion in the Greek Parliament, which can be characterized as being too "racist and xenophobic" then he will lose his immunity.

That is indeed hysterical.

When MPs express their opinion their immunity is lifted, but when they rob the country of billions of Euros, receive kickbacks and launder money, then that is ok. Their immunity stays intact.

Question: Would the international community erase or ignore, or even dare to deny that the Jewish Holocaust ever happened because it would offend Germany?

Obviously not!

So then why the hell would PASOK and DIMAR endorse this scandalous draft bill which clearly needs to be rewritten in accordance to Greek standards.

Two words - Corrupt politics

The New Democracy party wants to sack the Ragoussis law, which was a campaign promise. The law basically legalizes hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants in Greece. and is a scandalous product of the George Papandreou government which always endorsed a "New World Order" and obviously worked hard to please foreign centers and/or personalities such as Mr. George Soros.

PASOK and DIMAR who are basically paddling for life and who are not expected to even score 3 percent at the next parliamentary elections are indirectly pressing the government to ratify the scandalous anti racist law and by doing so they will support the government in sacking the Ragoussis law. From what we hear on the news, both these Leftist parties do not even want to compromise the issue at all. In fact they believe that by pinning Antonis Samaras against the wall with this issue it will score them new voters in the long-term. In other words with the Ragoussis law they will automatically gain votes from the various newly legalized minorities, and from the antiracist law, the "shady" centers in Thrace and in some minority centers in Athens will be grateful for their newfound rights and once they are legalized they will vote for them as well.

Folks, it is perfectly clear that all those foreign centers that worked hard over the past few decades to strike at our religion, our language, our culture and our family have declared an all out war against the Greek People.

What saddens us here at HellasFrappe is that the New Democracy party is falling into a leftist trap again. They are allowing the Left to dictate all the political developments in the country. This alone should sound an alarm to conservatives to ban together against the Left and these scandalous progressive ideals.

Indeed a racism law is needed, but it cannot only support minorities.

Seriously, will they jail all those who deny the genocides in Smyrna and Pontus?

We wonder, will they jail all those who entered this country illegally and have the audacity to stand in the middle of Athens and yell "death to the infidels" in the name of Allah?

Do our politicians believe that this will be accepted by the Greek people?

Are they crazy??????????

The only thing that they will accomplish is to bring the Golden Dawn party in power with this law. So Nazism and Fascism will finally win. (Good work you morons!)


If Greece's political elite wants to tackle the phenomenon Golden Dawn, then it should stop attacking this party, or pushing it to a corner. More than one million people support this party and this should be respected. All voices should be welcomed in Parliament because Greece is the cornerstone of democracy. And for heaven's sake, there are somethings that cannot be compromised by Greeks, the main thing of which is our pride. Denying the atrocities in Asia Minor because it is a "progressive" thing to do is hogwash, and any political party that supports this should be banned from the Greek Parliament!

Our opinion here at HellasFrappe is that this law should be scrapped because it does not respect and/or value Greek history, and then returned to Parliament to be ratified in accordance with the Greek Constitution and Greek standards. The Ragoussis law, on the other, should have already been shredded to bits.

PROVOCATION - Lesvos Teacher Tells Students They Are Descendants Of Arabs & Turks


When we here at HellasFrappe say that our BIGGEST enemy is some of our very own people, we are not kidding. We already know of DIMAR MP Maria Repousi, who is not ashamed to show that she is pro-Turkey, and who several years ago was in the spotlight for altering Greek history in grade school textbooks about the Greek genocides in the Black Sea and Smyrna, or even proposing that certain Greek customs, symbols and commemorations should be abolished.

Mrs. Repousi who is not ashamed of being termed an "anti-Greek" because she believes that being a patriot is cancerous to our society and rather promotes globalism and internationalism. In fact she believes that the Greeks should ignore important events such as the exodus of Missolonghi, or that they should also stop celebrating the Battle of Spetses, the events at Kougi and she especially believes that we should stop hailing the Revolutionary Flag of Agia Lavra. In her opinion all the above symbols, commemorations and celebrations are "banal" and "nationalistically cheap", and provide nothing to our national expression as Greeks.

Well... We thought she was alone, but we stand corrected. According to an article on the lesvospost.com news site a second grade geography teacher at a local high school on the island of Lesvos decided to re-write history (much Mrs. Repousi has) by assigning quite an interesting project to her students. Her students were instructed to "prove" that there are still "pure" blooded Europeans (and even more so Greeks). So the students went home and began working on their projects and apparently described how modern day Greeks are descendants of the ancient Greeks (bla, bla, bla). When it was time to hand them in, they were shocked by her reaction.

She was so infuriated with their work that she actually told the students that they were descendants of Turks and Arabs, and have no connection to Alexander the Great!
"These theories are nonsense and therefore not acceptable to me. What you need to know is that you are not a pure blooded Greek, but rather are a descendant from nations that have passed through this land. You are descendants of the Turks, the Romans, the Saracens, the Sumerians, the Arabs and others."
Her comments (and anti-Hellenic rhetoric) sparked a heated debate, and although the students kept their guard, and argued their case pretty well, she continued unabated until she reached the point of actually telling them that they are not even descendants of Alexander the Great!

(Wouldn't surprise us if she actually said that Alexander the Great is not even Greek!)

When the students went home they complained to their parents, who in return decided to ridicule her nationally.

So we here at HellasFrappe have decided to give Mrs. Repousi and this geography teacher a lesson on Greek DNA.

THE DNA OF THE INHABITANTS OF GREECE
(By Aristotle University of Thessaloniki)Author: Constantinos Triantafyllidis - Emeritus Professor of Genetics and Human Genetics - Department of Biology, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki

3. Human presence in Greece - By analyzing mitochondrial DNA found that examined subjects divided into 21 groups (haplotypes) and evaluated apart for each age creation, the Middle East and Europe. Based on mathematical calculations, estimated that the DNA of Greek origin is as follows: 8% in recent years (about 3,000 years from now), 20% during the Neolithic period (9000-3000), 44% in the last upper Paleolithic era ( 14500-9000), 14.5% on average over the Paleolithic era (26,000 to 14,500 years) and a 11% in the original upper Paleolithic era (45.500 -26.000).

Reference - http://illyria.proboards.com/index.cgi?b....ay&thread=34902

In other words... The Greek DNA hasn't changed in the past 3,000 years. Not only is the Greek genetic legacy clearly detectable today, but it is also evident among non Greeks, or in  neighboring populations of partial Greek ancestry. The remainder, 20% -25% of Greek DNA has Neolithic origin and was created over a span of 9000 years.

Moreover, 75% -80% of the current mitochondrial DNA of Greece's inhabitants are of Paleolithic origin and modeled after three migratory events (two Paleolithic periods and one Neolithic Age) that correspond to periods of glacier (from 50000-9000 years).

The conclusion: Simple... The DNA of the Greeks is heavily indigenous, something that has been proven through countless studies and verified by modern molecular genetic reports.

Besides... 9,000-5,000 years ago there were no Slavs and/or Turks near this country! So Greek DNA is European and unique.

And to think... that all we did was a little bit of googling... jeeezzzz

PROVOCATION - SYRIZA MP Says Imia Should Be Called Kardak & Belongs To Turkey!


MP for the main opposition SYRIZA party Naso Theodoridis, who has in the past provoked national sentiment on issues associated with the FYROM issue, made a striking comeback, but this time this anti-Hellene went wayyyy overboard.  He actually had the audacity to refer to the islet of Imia as ... Kardak!

On January 31st, 2013, and on the 17th anniversary commemorating the tragic events of 1996 and the loss of three Navy officers at Imia  (or the crew from that fatal helicopter crash from the frigate Navarino), Naso Theodoridis, whose postings are envied by Turkish propaganda officials, not only disputed the "Greekness" of Imia, but he also proposed that Greece should share the Aegean with Turkey!

In fact he literally sided with Turkey and suggested that the Greek military stop chasing after Turkish fighters that violate Greek airspace! And what's more... This m@kaka even characterized Greece's right to extend its territorial waters to 12 miles as being "preposterous"! 

Editor's Note - WHO in their right mind would vote for SYRIZA when this party has an agenda to divide the Aegean? Who can respect a political party when it does not have the decency to respect the memory of three dead soldiers who died to defend the Greek flag? Friends... This is why SYRIZA refuses to address any national issues and always turns the conversation around to the subject of the economy. It is not in its interests to be upfront about Greek national issues because their positions on our national issues are treasonous and they are afraid of being exposed. The more people press them about Greek national issues the better, because their true colors will eventually come to the forefront. Their ideology and rhetoric -aside from being dangerous- is poisonous. If they admire and respect Turkey so much, then why just not immigrate across the Aegean? Why remain in Greece? Aei Sixtir!

A MUST READ BY ALL - Why The Plundering Of Greece Was Staged!



The following article appeared on the Athens Voice after being translated from Swedish into English by Kosmas Loumakis. The article is an eye-opening set of arguments that focus on why Greece was chosen by the New World Order to bring the EU to its knees. We decided to feature it on HellasFrappe because the author gives extremely well backed arguments on a plethora of questions that we too have raised here on on our very own blog. From the why, and how, up to why we have an inactive lobby in Washington. The article is a chronicle in three interconnected components: INTRODUCTION, REASONS and EPILOGUE and focuses on the planned looting of Greece, as a ‘necessity’ for the dismantlement of European democracy, justice and freedom. We suggest that you read it with an open mind, and then make your own judgements. All comments are welcome.
Translated by Kosmas Loumakis

Featured on Athens Voice


INTRODUCTION

Behind the decision to plunder Greece, there are several reasons (as always, when the great powers decide to attack a country). It's never just one reason, when great powers are marching,… nor is it so in the case of Greece. For the Globo (the global currency) to be introduced and well received, economic “suicide-bombers”, the credit financial system that is, have triggered its explosive components. An unavoidable economic crisis, must be used to elicit acceptance of the currency, and then the launchpadmust be prepared for an already long time, manipulated and controlled so-called ‘free and democratic nation’. It is from this nation, that the old Europe, the old “civilization tools”, democracy, justice, human rights and the old ideals of liberty, equality and solidarity, are about to be buried.

Some of the obvious “operations” behind the plundering, are just ‘unfortunate’ collisions of interests between the great powers (for the petrodollar systems’ preservation), and other “operations” are carefully planned “cultural attacks” and economic, social and political reforms,  in order to weaken the folk-spirit, the social “glue” and the unity of a people. Simply put; very well-planned they have sought to weaken people's ability to resist against the coming plundering. In Greece’s case it is about a plundering, that the elite had in mind, since the mid 70′s.

Regardless if I, through my articles on the Greek crisis may seem tedious, in the recurring, short, historical flashbacks, I will continue to highlight the modern Greek history and the superpowers interference in Greece’s development, until it is as well-known as the Holocaust (because it has cost Greece millions of lives and enormous suffering, every 30 years, over the past 182 years). When someone denies the Holocaust, he/she is considered as stupid, an anti-Semite and as a nazi-sympathizer,… fairly justified I would say, but when someone wants to downplay and ignore the great powers “rape” of Greece, he/she is a visionary, constructive and “do not want to delve into the past”.

This is obvious today, because it is clear that everyone else seems to prefer to forget about the repeated abuse of Greece by the European powers,… At least,.. They wish to put that fact aside and they prefer to see this issue as over with. How can one see it as over with, when plutocracy-tendencies, corruption in Greece and the escalating debt are all based on this particular history? How can this ever be over with, when Greece today loses 3-8 future generations, its independence and its sovereignty due to unspecified debts, created by these great powers in cooperation with unusually obedient, Greek governments and shameless businessmen, over the last 4-5 decades?

The Perpetrator of course always wants to see his crimes as over with, with time, but the Victim who still suffers the consequences, wants to have vindication first and he/she wants to see justice prevail,.. Before he/she can put this aside and heal his/her wounds. The more the Europeans want to “put a lid on” on this story, the more myself and some other Greeks, will run the facts down the throats of the Europeans, until they MUST take  this history into account and the decisive involvement of the superpowers, which clearly have “paved the way” for Greece’s current situation …

Established, Swedish, journalists from the “approved” media, will of course NOT participate in this ‘information campaign’ and especially NOT those with a Greek background. Sadly enough, I am convinced about this fact, after three years of silence or sporadic, lifestyle journalism on this topic from them. “They have their job to think about”, I suppose! So far, their articles and reports in the Swedish media, have been “pale” and styled with a deliberate down silencing of the Greek people’s actual arguments, actions and resistance. Regardless of whether both Mikis Theodorakis ‘SPITHA and Dimiris Kazakis’ EPAM are two resistance movements, that have been judicially and politically active since the summer of 2010, and  today has thousands of active members all over Greece, none of the Greek-Swedish journalists have ever mentioned a word about these movements in their reports. This is of course hardly because of ignorance or lack of information, but rather because they find themselves media-gagged but still continues to call themselves  journalists.

Historical review:

The Greek nation’s dependency on the great powers (Prussia, Russia, Britain, France, USA and Germany) since 1824, has been disastrous, as the cooperation with these powers rarely brought any real benefit for Greece, but rather the opposite. The Balkan war, two world wars, a genocide, a civil war, two dictatorships and a long term illegitimate involvement in Greek politics and affairs, is what the superpower involvement in Greek affairs and politics has meant for the Greeks, over the last 182 years. Since the liberation war against the Ottomans in 1821, the European powers lied and broke promises on a regular basis, while forcing the country into extremely excessive debt, in relation to the sums actually needed (sometimes up to 50 times larger loans than what was applied for). The country has gone bankrupt twice before since 1821, and now in 2012, it was the third time in modern Greek history (because Greece IS in fact bankrupt since a year back, regardless whether European banks and profiteers, first wants to loot the country and its resources, with the so-called “controlled” bankruptcy, they are mumbling about in the European media). These bankruptcies were thoroughly “nourished” and brought about, by one or more of these great powers and many of the loans, that had been written off through the bankruptcies, reappears in the current “debt”. Why?

After the bloody wars that the great powers involved Greece in, the interests of Greece and the Greek people were always put aside, when the time came to sign the peace agreements. One of many examples is, about how they were forced to take large loans to BUY back their own railways, that were reconquered during the bloody wars. These great powers blackmailed the Greeks constantly, by delaying the recognition of the country’s borders. This has been a consistent strategy of the great powers, which incidentally, for over a century and a half, has deliberately prevented the country’s actual development. After the War of Independence against the Ottomans, it was always the great powers’ unwillingness to give full recognition of Greece’s geographical borders, its independence and its sovereignty, that ‘blackmailed’ Greek political rule and business, and conducted the country’s economic direction. The full recognition wasn’t fully given until 1974 (requested from 1824?), but by then the country was once again ‘drowned’ in foreign debt, so any independence or sovereignty, could  of course not be used for Greece’s best then either. Thus the country has NOT  really been free to manage its own affairs since 1453, when the Ottomans began the nearly 660 years long line, of foreign rule of Greece. After the Ottomans (1824), the above mentioned European powers, took control of Greece, one after the other. First, by placing King Otto, a Bavarian king, on the Greek throne, after the Greek freedom fighters had got rid of a 400-year long Ottoman rule. This was enforced, despite the fact that the freedom fighters and the Greek people, very clearly, showed that it was the country’s freedom and a genuine, Greek democracy, they had fought for and not for a monarchy.
This obligatory background knowledge, is needed in order to understand that the current Greek crisis, which in its actual root is cultural, not economic,… in fact is a smelly and a highly toxic legacy, from the European powers.

REASONS

In Greece’s case, the plundering goes on today, due to a combination of the following real causes and reasons:

1) Strategic, geographical position which has attracted imperialists to conquer or to control Greece, throughout history.

Greece, is the only nation in the world with borders to three continents and which, throughout  thousands of years, have influenced them and have been influenced by them, has traded with all three continents, and served as a cultural and philosophical-scientific “key” between them – The geopolitical plans of the great powers, for the  the Middle East, the Balkans and the Eastern Mediterranean, turn Greece into a country which the great powers have been, and still are, extremely interested in controlling. Ex: The military junta in Greece, took power 21 April 1967 – 6 weeks later, June 5, 1967, the six-day war between Israel – Egypt, Syria and Jordan, began – U.S. needed to establish and secure American military bases in Greece, to support the Israeli forces, and this was also the important role of the military junta, for the United States. Something that would have been impossible under a real democracy, Greek parliament (the situation today is not so much different from the one in 1967, given that Israel and USA are rampaging Syria today with Iran as their target)…

Once the junta finally was overthrown, it was important to the CIA that a right politician, Konstantinos Karamanlis, became the only alternative, after the dictatorship of the general’s. This, because Anwar Sadat’s success in the “October War” 1973, against Israel, worried the Americans. 1981, when finally a left government was ‘allowed’ to win the election in Greece, it was well timed enough, shortly after Sadat and Reagan shook hands, outside the White House. A few months later, Sadat was assassinated and Rockefeller-socialism emerged as the left-government in Greece (Andreas Papandrepou, leader of PASOK took a “loan” from David Rockefellers’, Chase Manhattan Bank, of 100 million dollars to start the Greek Socialist Party [Papandreous contract]).

Several, extremely crucial and well-timed, political events, where ‘orchestrated’ in Greece, really with only the great powers’ plans for the region in mind (the Balkans, the Middle East, Eastern Mediterranean). As long as the Middle East is a powder keg, the great powers want to have Greece as one of its arms depots, the Greek government as one of their obedient governments and its ‘rebellious’ people, on its knees.
    A month ago, the Greek Army and the Israeli Army, officially announced their close cooperation, despite the fact that over 80% of the Greek people are against Israel’s foreign policy and their illegal occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. They are for Palestinian rights, and they believe that the Israeli military forces are committing a war crime, against the Palestinian people.

2) Greece’s corrupt oligarchs and the great powers involvement, in the affairs of the Greek society

The widespread racist doctrine, that suggests that southern Europeans are more dishonest than northern Europeans, is based on a carefully well marketed ‘smokescreen’ that they have lowered in front of the European’s eyes. This, in order to hide the great power’s and the big finances’ illegal and immoral interference in other countries’ affairs, throughout the whole postwar period.

In Greece it is in reality, apart from an excessive, unwarranted interference by the great powers in the Greek society  and for far too long (1821), about a very carefully planned NSA/CIA operation, which began in 1974. That operation, deliberately “paved the way”, for a social climate in Greece in which politicians, businessmen, media moguls and judges, acted as “dealers” and intermediaries to foreign interests. After the, by Henry Kissinger expressed, planned and implemented, NSA/CIA attack on the Greek society in 1974, it stands clear that very different ‘interests’ than the Greek, have been taking turns to spread corruption, division and injustice in the Greek society, during the past 40 years.

The hawks in Washington DC, crafted plans for the “disobedient” Greeks, after the fall of the junta (which was a Washington-supported, but meant to last longer than just 7 years). Henry Kissinger, former American Secretary of State and one of the 10 most powerful men in the world today, expressed himself in the U.S. Congress in September 1974, with the following words:
    “The Greek people is anarchic and difficult to control. Therefore, we must strike deep into their cultural roots, maybe then we can  force them to conform.
    I mean, of course, to strike at their language, their religion, their cultural and historical reserves, so that we can neutralize their ability to develop and to distinguish themselves, and their ability to fight and win – and thereby remove them as an obstacle to our vital strategic plans in the Balkans, the Mediterranean and the Middle East. “
Unfortunately, they have managed to get far with these plans, to this date. The Greeks have, since the mid 70′s, been ‘bombarded’ with “modern” reforms and “legislative changes” (in order to be ‘europeanized’, it was called), which strongly weakened exactlythe culture, the language, the identity and the Greek people’s unique strengths and ability to rise up against tyranny. In Greece now many clearly see the disastrous consequences of the economic and political circus, that with many western governments help and protection, freely have ravaged the country since 1974. Everyone in Greece has seen it and experienced it, and the vast majority KNOW very well through which ‘foreign interests’, the Greek oligarchs maintain their private empires.

Oddly enough, none of the Greek media bothered to seriously match Mr Kissinger’s speech, with the reforms and social and economic changes over the last four decades (not here either, in my blog, among the ‘informed’, has anyone reacted in any considerable relevant way, when I several times over the past two years published Kissinger’s statement).. Its is  unnecessary now, because we have reached a point where the tragic facts speak for themselves. American, former “economic hit men” and former CIA agents have declared that Greece has been subjected to a long lasting (about four decades), cultural and economic “terrorist attack” and economic top analysts concluded that the Greek crisis is orchestrated by George Soros and Wall Street together with a couple of big European banks. We see and hear the fake final aria in Kissinger’s Greek version of the Swan Lake, in other words.


3) Greek natural resources that major powers and neighboring countries ‘desire’

The huge natural resources, which “did not exist” and therefore were not exploited, as long as Greece could decide about them themselves (something that the “memorandum packages” now prevents). Everyone, are raising their eyebrows, when the timing of the discovery of the resources and the  Greek government’s signing of the “support-package-agreement“ with the EU/ECB/IMF, is so clearly disastrous for the Greeks, but so incredibly ideal for those who want to plunder Greece. The, by Washington DC and London, radar-guided, obedient Greek governments, has not established the Greek EEZ, which means that then ‘one can not exploit ones own natural resources’. This has hardly been done for the best of the Greeks. This favors, beyond the great powers, in fact, Greece’s’ neighbor countries, especially Turkey, which is of great interest to the EU. Much has probably been promised to Ankara, that Greek people do not know about, but are now beginning to understand.

Below: an extracted and translated part of my Swedish article that fully cover this issue, “Om de Grekiska naturtillgångarna och det Europeiska spelet bakom dem“
    “… Another question that has puzzled us Greeks for years is why Greece, which has the second largest EEZ the Mediterranean Sea (Exclusive Economic Zone), has NOT officially established it, as the single country out of 142 countries in the world? What are they waiting for? Who benefits from Greece NOT establishing its EEZ? An officially established EEZ is namely essential, if one want to exploit one’s own natural resources. What lies behind the Greek governments’ clear desire to postpone this issue for decades? Georgios Kasimatis, Constitutional professor – Mikis Theodorakis (SPITHA / KAP) – Manolis Glezos (SYRIZA and SPITHA) and economist Dimitris Kazakis (EPAM) has a very clear and well-founded answer to this question…The answer is: We have had governments in Greece since long back that look after foreign intersets instead of the Greek interests. Their knowledge on the subject primarily, but also statements by politicians from the three neighboring countries, shows a clear tendency towards “scrambles” with the EU about Greek natural resources and land…This is why all of Europe is silent about the crystal clear democratic and constitutional violations against Greece and therefore they were silent, when Goldman Sachs “helped” the Greek finance Ministry to fix numbers, for entry into the Euro Union. Everyone is waiting like hyenas to rip the carcass apart as soon as they get an OK from the “hunter”. Likewise they speak very quiet about the $ 200 billion that has been smuggled INTO Greece and washed white, in the last almost three years, while the Euro Group have had full insight into Greek affairs.”
The EEZ issue is the most important in terms of Greece’s possibilities to exploit its own natural resources and thus, lift itself out of the current disaster. The globalists don’t want that to happen at all!


4) Greek folk culture, a breeding ground for freedom struggles and liberation wars against tyranny

Greece has a very long history and a rooted folk culture, where the individual freedom, the states freedom and social and political justice, played a very big role. It’s about the folk culture which through its history and its literature, has given birth to streams of liberation movements worldwide and recurrent in history people has through them, strongly opposed and fought against despotism and tyranny.With the current, apparent EU plans in mind, one can, however, understand that they do not want the Greeks to have access to their cultural “spears,” their spiritual “swords” and their moral “shields”, that has been proved to be extremely strong and difficult phenomenons to defeat previously. Therefore, it was also these very phenomenon’s that Kissinger “targeted” in the Greek society.

The French revolution was based on the resurgence of the classic Greek values and because of the Ottoman occupation of Greece, the intellectual exile-Greeks in Paris had resurrected ancient ideas, thoughts and virtues in the French poets, writers and philosophers of the 18th century, so that the  basic ideas of the revolution took form with ancient Greece asfootrest – The fact is that, even its own revolution, the Greek Independence War of 1821, would have been impossible, unless the classical Greek thinking and arts had had free“ventilation-space” in Paris for several decades, but also in Odessa and Vienna and already had fertilized the great European revolution. Rigas Fereos poetry inspirited the French revolution. The very serious distinction between these two revolutions though is that the French Revolution was executed by French people against the French aristocracy, but the Greek revolution was about a relatively small group of freedom-fighters starting a revolution against one of the greatest empires on the planet in those days. An empire that all of Europe feared.
    We are still waiting for the “thanks” from Europe who for centuries couldn’t manage what a band of Greek freedom fighters with massive public support managed.
THIS folk culture, THOSE traditions and THAT literature, does not suit the globalists plans at all today, so they prefer that this culture is weakened, its teachings distorted and that it is under their control.


5) Demands for vengeance by the conservative and nationalistic part of the German electorate.

The nationalistic part of the German folk-spirit wants “revenge” for the costly “tripping”, Greece caused the Nazis in World War 2, which did cost the Nazis the whole war. Scheuble, confessed openly in the German media, that their “voters demanded punishment of the Greeks.” Through the follow-up questions it became clear that it was not about punishment only for Greek economic carelessness, but mainly for their tendency to “insolence” and “disobedience”(see in paragraph 2. how Kissinger put it).

The mob-rhetoric and the smearing of Greeks in general by the German government and media (with its satellite governments and media in the north as an assent crow-choir), has not to do with facts or real economic reasons, but it is mainly an expression of a wounded folk-spirit of the conservative part of the Germans. That is what Scheuble’s and Merkel’s voters have stated with their obvious desires. They thought so much of their soldiers, when all of Europe crouched and trembled at the sight of Vermacht, that they couldn’t or can’t  swallow the fact that an army, where only every other soldier had been given an old weapon from World War 1 and barely uniforms to all, could fight for 7 full months against their dreaded troops and offer such an effective resistance throughout the rest of the war  (cf: second longest resistance was Norway’s with 61 days)

From the CDU’s voters, there are apparently many who have relatives buried in Greece, especially in Crete, since the war. Tens of thousands of German soldiers were buried in Greece and the phenomenon, German cemeteries in Greece, cost the nationalist majority of the Germans much more than what the European ‘historical description’ today want to admit.

Regardless of how odd it may sound, for people without the emotional experiences of the actual, psychological and social after effects of war, in Greece we KNOW, after long and close association with German people in general, both in Germany (500,000 Greeks are living there, most of them since the 60′s) but also in our tourist destinations, that the wounds inflicted to the Nazis by the Greeks and that caused the loss of the war, are not yet healed in many of the conservative and nationalistic German hearts.


6a) An anti-Hellenic lobby has been needed in order to prepare the way and promote the dogma of  Rothschild-Zionism

Before the implementation of a,  by the elite planned, global, paradigm shift, the old foundations must be accused, slandered and falsified and facts must be distorted. Various other cultures have had to endure this throughout history (North-South American Indians, Persians, Arabs,  Africans, Polynesians and others). The Globalists, who themselves claim that they are *Zionists,  now aims to replace the “truths” in people’s minds, by an aggressive, propagandistic, marketing opposing the old virtues, freedom, justice, humanity.Hellenism is the root of the values Rothschild-Zionism shuns.

Hellenism = Hellenistic schooling, education and fostering, ie classical Greek iterature - philosophy - science - arts - music - theater - athletics in a symbiosis with each other, has been proved to offer the most essential safeguards against tyranny, despotism, monarchies and oligarchies – Hellenism, as a broader term, originates from the word Hellenismos (describes also the genetic, geographic and cultural roots of the Hellenes/Greeks) and is not limited to only the classical period of ancient Greece and later Rome, as Wikipedia claims, but it describes the ENTIRE history ofthe Hellenes (the Ionian and the Doric tribes).

Hellenism has throughout the recorded history been, *Zionisms and its predecessors the Pharisees, enemy No. 1. This, of course, because it represents a direct threat to what later became the *Zionist worldview, the Zionist dogma. Hellenism highlights the importance of human freedom, it develops the thinking and offer the spiritual and intellectual tools, so that each individual should be able to develop an independent, critical thinking.

Within *Zionism where the individual free, critical thinking is seen as aweakness for the collective and where the individual, is seen as merely a cog in a larger machinery, considered the Hellenic thoughts about the free human, as nonsense. This is also what is diligently spread in the schools today.
    “when truth has been peeled out of history, all that is left of it, is a worthless story" - Polybios
Since around 70 years now, an anti-Hellenic lobby has deliberately been spreading false teachings and pseudo-arguments among secondary school’s, college’s and university’s with the aim to undermine the classic, Hellenistic education. The one who is a bit familiar with facts in the history of mankind, notice this without difficulties, primarily through the major lexicons and encyclopedias obvious omission or distortion of important knowledge and facts about the legacy of the Greeks. On closer examination you discover, very easy, a deliberate manipulation of facts behind the history of the Hellenes’, their discoveries, knowledge, origin and language (I will eventually publish a number of specific examples of such anti-Hellenic manipulation in encyclopedias and textbooks).

Pure persecution has been conducted against Hellenism from a Rothschild-Zionist academics-lobby, with aims to minimize the opportunities for students to discover the genuine European heritage and the western humans’ spiritual origin and replace it with a Rothschild-Zionist worldview.

Tens of thousands of concerned academics worldwide, have over a couple of decades alarmed about this. Professors from all over the world believe that there is a deliberate anti-Hellenic lobby within the academic world, that want to remove Greek education in general from the curriculum in the major universities.

A climate thrives in these, where Hellenism is considered to be “overrated” and as being based on an up-picking of the achievements of neighboring cultures. All such claims can of course be rebutted quite thoroughly and without any difficulties, not least by the neighboring culture's own literature, but the damage is still done, because the vast majority of the students never makes an effort to search for the real facts on these issues. It seems fairly unnecessary for most people to question the established encyclopedias, popular science and the top universities way to convey the valuable heritage of the Greeks.
It is even less believed that, in our “enlightened” time, hey would deliberately, convey the truths about our existence, our origin and our true history. Brave professors, lecturers and academics as Mary Lefkowitch, Victor Hansen and Bruce S Thornton have alarmed about this.

Since it exists so much written in Greek, which through the ancient, original texts proves that the ‘anti-Hellenic lobby’ is spreading sheer lies about Greek culture, the Latin replaced classical Greek a few decades ago as the language of literature’s, philosophy’s and science’s. Most major encyclopedias today, completely “undetected”, therefore ignore the original texts and refers only to them through, many times, very shallow interpretations by writers who much later have tried to understand the giants of human thinking of the ancient Greeks.


6b) Short idea-historic retrospective on Zionism and Hellenism:

The Hebreo-Chaldean tribes praised the ‘importance of the collective’  and built their world view and view of humanity largely on religion, mythology, the survival of the tribes and pure superstition. ‘Science’, Philosophy and Religion in these cultures had to comply with each other and the authority, the ‘king’, the ‘emperor’, the ‘demigod’ was considered to have direct contact with “God” and could therefore  NOT openly be criticized. He was infallible and his word could not be questioned. They were “Theo-centric”, ie with a god and a priesthood in the center of their societies. They felt in these tribes that they needed and that they wanted a ‘shepherd’, THEIR ‘shepherd’. Since about 1 500 BC the elite of the Sanhedrin, IE the highest Jewish council of the synagogue of ancient times and today’s Rothschild-Zionism, has seen Hellenism as its archenemy, because automatically, through its main characteristics, its literature and its ancient mystery-traditions, Hellenism forms a constant threat to the Rothschild-Zionism’s worldview and fundamental views on humanity.

Precursors of Rothschild-Zionism is actually a specific group within the ancient Sanhedrin, the highest Jewish council in the synagogue, namely the Pharisees. If you see the key political, religious, Jewish currents as a common denominator then the Rothschild-Zionists are, the heirs of the Pharisees. Fariséism was a Jewish, religious, political party who interpreted the Torah and the law of Moses literally, but the actual ethos of the law became rigid and stiff and thus an unassailable tool for elitism, racism andtyranny.

The Ionian and Doric tribes IE the Hellenes (Greeks), praised the individual importance and placed the Human Being in the center of their concern and they built their worldview and their view on Humanity on critical observations, science and knowledge of the human role in nature and in the universe. They were “anthropocentric”, and they looked at the world and mankind from an investigative perspective based on their own observations and studies. They did not live particularly different from their neighbors, but the way they LOOKED upon HOW they lived constituted their uniqueness in comparison with  ALL other cultures in the ancient world. They examined everything from a critical perspective, and this critical, investigative approach they turned also towards their own functions, behavior, institutions, ideas and phenomena. Where most other cultures saw more or less similar patterns the Greeks through their perspectives, distinguished details, differences and exceptions. They could place their focus of observation beyond nature, humans and even the gods and examine everything from a orthologic, investigative, scientific perspective.

The Greeks had the ability to see life steadily and see it whole, rather than remain enslaved by custom, tradition, superstition, nature or by the brute force of the political and clerical elite. It sought to free itself from the ‘shackles’, the existence that often dictates people’s lives through dogma, creeds, traditions, customs and practices and therefore breed non-examined, ingrained, ‘mechanical’, behavior patterns and routines. The Hellenes wanted to be fully ‘conscious’ in their perception and their behavior. To them it was therefore essential that Science, Philosophy and Religion were decoupled from each other, in order for free thinking to develop at all (something that was unthinkable in ALL the other cultures, as this view was seen as dangerous and a threat to order, monarchy and priest rule).

The biggest achievement, with this approach was the birth of the organized, critical thinking, and thus the concept of freedom. Something that before the Greeks, was only for kings and emperors with their courts. From that critical thinking, an organized idea that all human beings are born free and independent, and therefore has the right to influence and decide about their lives, was born, so therefore slavery was abolished in ancient Greece around 400 f. Kr (about 2000 years before anyone else).

They showed by their celebration of the development of human qualities  that they did not want to be dependent on any ‘shepherd’, but that they themselves were capable of becoming the best ‘shepherd’ for their own lives, as long as they got to know the microcosm and the macrocosm and the natural principles that govern the universe. The Hebrews were looking for “God” outside themselves and the Hellenes were looking for “God” in themselves…
    It is really this ancient difference between two contradicting idea-worlds and spiritual traditions,… it is this “schizophrenia” between Hellenism and Rothschild-Zionism, they have tried to crowd into one ‘modern Western civilization’. This paradox is what really reflects the whole Western society in its institutions, its social atmosphere and its view on Humanity. We think we have noble values, but we break them on a daily basis for the sake of profit. We think we are freer than others but we captivate ourselves more than any other by the shackles of materialism.
Today Rothschild-Zionism is striving to bury Hellenism!

These six points, of course, in a mobile relation to each other and in time, is the basis for the plundering of Greece today. Therefore,  the ways to the real solutions cannot be described with clichés, in the form of new economic models or political power shifts in a system that has been hijacked by the bankers since a very long time. One has to take all these six points under serious consideration if one claims that one intends to suggest solutions for the problems. Those who seek simple solutions, shoot with blanks.


EPILOGUE

Every person has the government it deserves, it is said. But some people who happen to live in “key countries” in the past six decades, has mainly the governments that MI6, the CIA and Mossad prefers. The term “key countries” here, describe only some countries value and importance from the perspective of the great powers and nothing else.

Since these intelligence organizations do not use any particular democratic methods, one can also add methods as psycho-social manipulation, false flag operations, media propaganda, political lies, political assassinations, torture, sanctions, wars and threats as frequently used tools, which very strongly dictates many countries’ political direction. For Greece the six reasons above applies for the great powers interference in Greece’s affairs, since the War of Independence against the Ottomans in 1821. These facts MUST be seriously considered if one intends to really understand what is happening now in Greece and why.

When it's clear that the CIA, MI6 and Mossad, through the “The Arab Spring”, with both conscious and unconscious support groups for nearly three years worked very hard to eliminate the West-critical movements in North Africa and the Middle East,… my analysis regarding the planning of the looting of Greece  should not surprise (“the Arab spring” is a working name of CIA’s infiltration and military support to the Western-loyal militias and mercenaries in the region). Such “operations” has many times before leaving countries in Latin America, Asia and Africa in ruins, they have substantially increased the flow of refugees in the world and they have filled the countries cities with graveyards where civilians and children, killed in the millions, are buried…

When the two first intelligence services during the 50′s – and 60′s primarily spent their time to make sure that Latin America were “held on the mat”, the anti-socialist “mat” IE, they exported the “model” for takeovers of sovereign nations, and thereby they started the general rehearsals for the globalization project.
The three general rehearsals for CIA’s and MI6′s (until Mossad would grow out of its diapers) overthrow them we don’t like and take over their resources opera” was Iran in 1953, Greece in 1967 and Indonesia 1968.

Pinochetts Chile in 1973, the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the fall of the Soviet Union in 1993 laid the foundation for the neo-liberal, aggressive capitalist model (a Milton Friedman model that all globalists celebrates although it has been proved to never work without dictatorial methods) which is now presented as the only solution to ALL our problems. (See this documentary on the subject neo-liberalism and anti-democratization: Catastroika – privatization goes public)

“The carpet was laid out” for the superpowers complete re-entry into Greek business in 1967, when the country was put in “quarantine” by the dictatorship. Then democracy was ground down by the CIA’s military junta in Greece and then, the fear for the horror and the violence of the civil war, spread again  in the Greek society.

What the CIA agent Kermit Roosevelt’s overthrow of the democratically elected socialist leader, Mohammad Mossadegh, resulted in, in Iran, is well known to those who have a basic knowledge about the world political events after the war, but what the Washington-backed military junta in Greece actually “paved the way” for, is not at all as well known, because everyone wanted to see Greece as a restored European, democratic country, after the the fall of the junta.

They wanted to give the impression that the Greek society left its dark period behind it and that it could now begin the reconstruction. Whose reconstruction, there is no need to ask ourselves in retrospect? This regardless of whether it took two political-murders, Gregoris Lambrakis, May 27, 1963 and Alekos Panagoulis May 1, 1976, carried out by the Greek intelligence, the royalist, right-wing candidate, Konstantinos Karamanlis, could be presented as the only capable candidate.

Andreas Papandreou ”was prepared” subsequently as the left movements hope very quickly, because they knew that the Left, which of course was those who had opposed the junta, also had the majority of the Greek people with them and would therefore not settle for a right-wing leader for too long. Karamanlis, as an already known politician would just be a necessary solution from dictatorship to “democracy”, the world leaders assured  the Greeks.

Thus after the fall of the right-junta a right-politician was placed as leader of the country, regardless whether the fight against the junta and the students’ revolt had been a pure left-democratic popular struggle.

The natural leader of Greece after the junta, of course, would otherwise have come from the democratic resistance struggle’s ranks.Unfortunately, this development was strangled by political assassinations and the surgical procedure by the CIA and MI6, in Greek politics, which placed both New Democracy and PASOK on top of the Greek political scene and the Greek public life ever since. In Iran they had appointed one royal family and in Greece two “royal families” in the form of political leaders of the two largest parties.

If the Shah’s regime, could mean the sale of Iranian oil, and because of this, an enticed increasing Islamist opposition to the West, with the ayatollahs revolution as the culmination, (a direct result of the U.S. / UK-led coup in 1953),… why could not the military junta in Greece be seen as the final “lid on”, for all real democratic forces in Greece? In Iran they wanted a “king” / Shah to negotiate with, and in Greece, they appointed a few tested and loyal political families, along with some ship owners and some big businessmen who became “kings” in Greece, with their “courts”.These have worked exclusively for American, English and German interests since the 70s and they have been well-rewarded by the great powers.

After the junta had  deported the German King Constantine and his Danish wife, Anna-Maria from Greece, something that people did not mind at all, the superpowers understood that they could not suggest a king as head of state after the fall of the junta. Instead they supported a handful of “their own” politicians and businessmen, in 1974 in Athens, with the same result in mind as the support of the Shah in 1953 in Tehran and the support for Suharto in 1968 in Indonesia had given them.

The control of the country’s resources and the control of its political and military forces.

These decisive “intervention” in other countries affairs were thus general rehearsals for the globalists plan for a takeover of military-strategically important but sovereign nation-states and their natural resources. Everything was excused of course by the existence of the Soviet Union and that their agenda was “much worse”.

The new economic, colonial wars were “a necessary evil” we were told, to keep communism away from the “free world”. You know, the “free world”, which needs to order the assassinations and the overthrow of democratically elected leaders in favor of dictators and that needs to suck out all the natural resources of the country, so that its citizens have to escape poverty, war and oppression. The “free world” where a handful of filthy rich, powerful and wrinkled parasites, cannot sleep well if people are free, independent and creative.

MI6, the CIA and Mossad are not intelligence services of countries, they are these wrinkled parasites private “hit-men”… The end of their monopoly is near and the beginning of justice, freedom and the development of man is here, if we only dare to shine into their dark corners with HUMAN wisdom, decency, dignity and love.

Word From The Author 

*Zionism is usually considered to be Theodor Hertzl’s organized movement for a country for the Jewish people, the Jewish state of Israel… In his article though when I refer to Zionism I describe Rothschilds version of Zionism, which is much more about the “kidnapping” of the Jewish people, their religion and traditions in order to serve an oligarchic global family empire, with the current state of Israel as its vehicle to this aim… The Rothschilds, the Rockefellers and the Morgans for instance are not Jewish, but Khazars. There are Christian Zionists and Muslim Zionists no matter how strange that can sound, simply because today’s Rothschild-Zionism has nothing to do with the Jewish people but only with the aims of those families that  consider themselves as “kings” of humanity and their plan with the state of Israel.

Western Negative Stereotypes About Greeks - Past To Present

by Athanasios Kotsakis

With the Roman conquest, the Greek world came essentially in close contact with the Latin for the first time. This coexistence had multiple parameters. Apart from cultural osmosis between the two sides (both the effects of Greek culture in Roman and other Roman hiring practices and institutions in the East by the Eastern Roman Empire), the two worlds came in conflict with each other since the early Middle Ages.  There were rivalries and frictions, even in ecclesiastical level, between the Old and the New Rome. Those frictions eventually led to the schism between Roman Catholics and Orthodox Christians.

The relations between the East and the West deteriorated after the great migration that took place in the era between the 3rd and the 5th century AD, when Germanic tribes flooded Western Europe and overthrew the western part of the empire, occupying Rome (476 AD). Yet, despite the raids, looting and destruction in the eastern part of the empire, the Germanic tribes were not able to prevail there. Prominent members of the aristocracy in Constantinople founded the "Panhellenic", an institution with strong anti-german orientation.

Panhellenic's ultimate goal was the expulsion of the Germanic tribes from the area of the Eastern Roman Empire, a goal that was eventually achieved during the popular revolt in 400 AD. The aftermath of the riot was the extermination of the Goth Warlord Gaina and of all the Goths who had settled in the vicinity Constantinople.

Since then the Byzantine Empire will continue to be in conflict with the Germanic tribes and the western principalities, culminating in the ideological conflict with the empire of the Frankish ruler Charlemagne and his successors, who claimed the title of "Roman Empire" (800 AD). Wanting even to monopolize this title, Western leaders called the Byzantine emperor simply "king of the Greeks" and not "Roman", who in turn called the emperor of the West just "king" and the Franks 'barbarian race ".


Liutprando da Cremona and his picture for the Byzantines

In the context of diplomatic contacts between the two sides, the German Emperor Otto I (962-973), founder of the later Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, sent Lombard Liutprand, bishop of Cremona, to Constantinople, to negotiate with emperor Nikiforos Fokas, regarding the match of his son, Otto II with Theophano, a greek princess. But it seems that the bad behavior the Byzantines showed to Liutprand - the latter having been sent there as a representative of the German prince, that is a usurper of Roman legality in the Byzantines' eyes - enraged him so much that he wrote a very passionate and strongly critical report on his trip to Constantinople with the Latin title: "De Legatione Constantinopolitana".

This text, which probably reflected not only his personal views but also the prevailing attitudes in the Western world, is considered to be useful for modern historians, in order for them to trace the roots of Western anti-Greek feelings. In this book the Greeks are presented as "frivolous," "stupid", "flatterers," "covetous," "deceitful," "crooks," "untrustworthy," "liars," "traitors" etc. This opinion the Middle-Age Westerners held about Byzantine Greeks may be interpreted in the light of certain "inferiority complexes" of the early Medieval West towards the thriving eastern empire.

In particular, according to Liutprand, "Nikiforos is a truly monstrous creature, a pygmy with giant head, with eyes like the mole, with short beard, broad, thick, whitish. The forehead is one finger wide, his hair scruffy crowning his untamed and wild face, as if he were Iopas.The skin is blackish as if he were Ethiopian .. He is big-bellied with weak glutes. His thighs are large, with disproportionately short of stature, his legs wide. He wore an old peasant cloak, frayed and dirty. His words are cheeky, but his mind is like a fox and like Ulysses he is liar and perjurer" In addition, the Byzantine emperor: is boor, Padfoot, cuckold, effeminate, hairy, uncouth, barbarous, brutal, "walks like an old lady and has a goat's face."

Continuing, Liutprand says: "The king of the Greeks is hairy, wearing a cloak with long sleeves and feminine guise, he is a liar, deceiver, ruthless, sly fox, arrogant, stingy, greedy, eating garlic, onions and leeks and drinks valnion. Instead, the king of the Franks is good looking, he is not wearing women's clothes, he covers his head, he is sincere, he is not deceiving anyone,he knows when to be compassionate, strict when necessary, he always has real humility, he never becomes a miser, he does not eat garlic, onions and leeks to make savings on the animals."

Also:- The Emperor cheats (...) and does not tell anyone the truth. He did as the Greeks always do".
  • "Greeks are of uncertain faith: Latins, look carefully! Do not believe them, nor hear their words. How much more will they lie in order for Argos to prevail! ".
  • "The perjurer Greece."
  • "The deception derives from the Greeks, so that everyone can judge them from a single crime."
  • "How much ready are the Greeks to swear on the head of another."
  • "The skimpy dinner begins and ends with lettuce, once closed the dinner of their ancestors."
In the latter passages there is use of negative stereotypes about Greeks, that derives from Roman antiquity, which as it turns out, were in use and during the Middle Ages. The latter phrase, though not at all flattering to the Greeks, proves that Westerners saw the Byzantines descendants of the ancient Greeks, as they are faced as a single entity. And the negative characterizations against the Greeks and especially against the Byzantine emperor are clearly excessive and exude empathy.

So nearly a century before the schism of 1054 the existence of negative stereotypes established, on a part of Westerns and especially the Germans, concerning, in particular, the reliability of the Greeks and their hostility towards the West. From 1054 onwards the characterization of the "schismatic" or more rarely of the "heretic" will be added to the anti-Greek stereotypes, given that the Roman-Catholic Church did not regard the Orthodox heretics but only schismatics.

Since the late 11th century  by conducting the 1st Crusade and especially after the fall of the Byzantine Empire by the troops of the Fourth Crusade, relations between the two sides dramatically deteriorated. The defeated Greeks will face not only the oppression but also the mocking of Western conquerors, who thought of them as "people of scribes."


The Chronicle of the Morea and the image of the Greeks

The rivalry between "Roman" (Greek) and Franks (medievalFrench) is reflected in the "Chronicle of Morea", a text of the 14th century, probably written by Gasmoulo of Peloponnese (f758-761, 769):

Regarding the split between the two Churches (1054) Chronicle of the Morea says:
"Anti-Greek" Western stereotypes of modern times until the Greek Revolution
The negative pattern for the Greeks will be repeated to a degree in works of Western travelers who visited the Aegean in the 16th,17th and 18th century, as in these of the Western officials.

For example:- The Venetian monk Paolo Sarpi (1552-1623) called the Greeks  "infidels" and said they need "a little bread and lots of whacking" ("poco pane e molte bastonate") and should be treated as wild beasts, they must be constantly humiliated and prevented from training with weapons.
  • The Italian Pilgrim Zuarllardo writes in the late 16th century: "We should not trust the Greeks too. they are known enemies."
  • The French Aegean traveler  Jean Thévenot (1633-1667) said that: "The Greeks are covetous, infidels, traitors, pedophiles, very vindictive, hypocritical and very superstitious," and that " They hate the Catholics more than the Turks."
  • The French Jesuit Robert Saulger (1637-1709) called the Orthodox inhabitants of the Cyclades "schismatic" and "superstitious" and believed that the Greeks are "pride when they are greater, but humble when they lose and sometimes by necessity are liars". Also, "They are crafty, a little unstable and truthful in their friendship. So in the East will refer to the Greek  infidelity and will tell you to believe the opposite of those that the Greeks believe." But these supplements do not apply to everyone, because in the Aegean Islands met "many who were very sincere, honest and prudent."
It should be noted that these passages are not representative of the Western writers who refer to the Greek Orthodox population of the Aegean. Anti-Greek feelings is not usually the most dominant element in their writings. However, repetition in modern times of medieval negative stereotypes about Greeks is something that could not pass unnoticed. This phenomenon is obviously part of the overall climate of the time in the western area where the image of the Greeks (Hellenes) is generally not the most positive.

Only later, with the emergence of artistic and ideological currents, such as Romanticism, will the interest rekindle  in Western Europe not only in ancient Greece, but also in the fate of the contemporaries, enslaved Greeks. Many Western Europeans will indeed come as volunteers to fight alongside the Greeks during the Greek Revolution (1821-1829), a phenomenon that will be repeated until the Greco-Turkish war of 1897 and the Cretan revolutions of 1866 and 1896, as in the First Balkan War (1912-13), mostly by Italian Garibaldini.

On the other hand, Westerners Hellenists will significantly promote the Greek (Hellenic) letters (eg Louis, King of Bavaria and father of Otto of Greece) and despite the unilateral persistence in ancient Greece and the rejection of the Byzantine past, they could be described as real and warm Philhellenes, given the practical support in the Greek (hellenic) national liberation struggle.

However cases of other Western Europeans who favoured greek (hellenic) but who were also violent anti-Hellenes as the Dutchman Cornelius de Pauw, the Prussian Jacob Salomon Bartholdy, the English William Gell and Thomas Thorthon, and also the British Richard Chandler and Charles Perry, who argued that modern Greeks are "resourceful, cunning and crafty people" and "deceitful, crooks and traitors."did not disappear. The most famous scholar, however, in this category was the Austrian Philip James Fallmerayer (1790-1861), who was best known for his theories regarding the absence of any relationship between ancient modern Greeks (Hellenes).

Also in the mid 19th century the image of Greeks (Hellenes) for much of the Western public opinion was very negative, given the reluctance of Greece (Hellas) for alliance with the Western coalition, which campaigned against Russia during the Crimean War (1853-1856 ) and the mission of Greek (Hellenes) volunteers alongside the Russians. The overall picture, however, of the Westerns for the Orthodox world was generally not the best, as opposed for example with the image that had many for the Muslims, but at the time allied Ottoman Empire.

Western European and especially German negative stereotypes about Greeks (Hellenes) (late 19th - early 21st century.)

Dealing with the ancient Greek (hellenic) past and the promotion of Greek (hellenic) letters will continue primarily from the German educational and research institutions throughout the 20th century, but the geopolitical conflict between the two countries, which are found in opposite camps during the two world Wars will not favor the occurrence of philhellenic feelings for the modern Greeks, although there have been several Germans philhellenes throughout the last half a century.

Already almost from the first day of the Federal Government, of Bismarck (late 19th cent.), some Greeks blamed the Germans -as part of their geopolitical ambitions- they wished to govern Greece "as a province of Bavaria" under the doctrine of "Deutschland über Alles". Also noted that the tight embrace between Germany and the Ottoman Empire before and during the First World War was not unrelated to the systematic extermination of Hellenism in Asia Minor by the Neo Turks, who were planned by German officers - consultants, as Fr C. Otto Liman von Sanders who called the Asia Minor Greeks "hostile elements, inspired by revolutionary ideas from outside", which should be prosecuted mercilessly.

During the Nazi period there is evidence indicating that the Greeks (Hellenes) were accused as "lazy and cafe  habitues", that  the Germans said they would oblige them to work "as they know how to put slaves to work."

Today, 70 years later, the scene is repeated in some way with one another form.The military invasion of the Third Reich in Greece (Hellas) has been replaced by common consent of the German economic penetration, reaching far to undermine our national sovereignty, in a quasi-re-known from the 30s and 40s as "living space" of Germany (" Lebensraum ").

Also, articles in the German press, especially in broad popular consumption, characterize the Greeks (Hellenes) "vermin," "lazy," "crooks," "thieves," "liars," "worthless," "untrustworthy," who should be punished with harsh economic measures or the loss of part of their territory (eg some islands or even the Acropolis itself!), preferably in favor of Turkey.

Similar types of publications have been identified in other countries such as Denmark and other Nordic countries, secondarily in England and rarely in France, but above all perhaps in Holland, where in addition to the above, the Greeks (Hellenes) are seen as "inventors" of gay sex . Often Greek (hellenic) immigrants living in central and northern Europe, mainly in German-speaking and Nordic countries, face the ridicule and scurrilous attacks of a not insignificant portion of the indigenous populations there.

But such a war  is not limited to the Greeks (Hellenes), although our people is at the forefront lately of the peoples encountered derogatory, primarily by the Protestant north. Mediterranean peoples, and especially Catholics, with not particularly great appeal to economic growth, are treated as category B Europeans, on one hand effected by the current economic crisis on the other, ridiculed by some partners in northern Europe, they have been characterized as "lazy ", "parasite", " pigs ", etc. While believing that they are "sinners" who should be "imprisoned".

The existence of these stereotypes is obviously a product of various combinations of parameters: firstly the current politico-economic conditions and also the different glimpse into the personality, culture and historical and cultural background among the peoples of Europe. It seems that has somehow developed in Europe a psychological gap between the Protestant north and Catholic (and Orthodox) South, which, however, due to the gradual spread of economic crisis and north of the Alps, begins to subside, though perhaps not at the expected degree.

Moreover, the fact that Greece is a true European country, but not essentially Western, as orthodox, seem not to create favorable conditions for developing this very friendly feelings of the western side of cycles that affect to some extent the common opinion, some of which connect or identify Greece (Hellas) with their enemy, Russia, even talking about "slavic-orthodox" culture and has become a reason for the existence of an "unholy alliance" or an "axis of evil" of the Greek Orthodox and Serbs during the wars of former Yugoslavia in the '90s.

Also, in the German press of the era was pulled from the limbo of history the theory of Fallmerayer, for obvious reasons, and maps were circulated to Greece as a patchwork of peoples, with the eastern Aegean islands belonging to Turkey.

Of course phenomena of suspicion and hostility toward the West, especially to the Germans, have been observed previously on a part of some Greek Orthodox, given the many negative experiences accumulated from centuries of coexistence with the West. So in light of the above could be interpreted the phenomenon of being in Europe today some negative stereotypes about Greeks, and certainly in line with the general historical background of relations between the Greeks and the West.

However, the peoples of the West, including parts of northern European populations, begin to understand now the real causes of the current global economic crisis, developing in many cases philhellenic feelings, even philhellenic action: eg movement "Je suis  Grecque" (I am Greek Movement), developed in Nantes, France from the end of 2011, which has spread to other countries, is perhaps the first important example of European solidarity movement to the Greek people. Also, from February 2012 Italian mayors offer symbolic salary in favor of the Greek people in the solidarity movement philhellenic "Magna Grecia" («Great Greece").

The Greek (Hellenic) civilization and the human values, which it represents, may constitute a realistic alternative, universal character anthropocentric proposal against the Protestant value system and the instrumentalist Anglo-Saxon thought, a product which is now the dominant socio-economic anti-human, neoliberal model emergence of the individual benefit. The struggle today is not so among the Greeks (Hellenes) and the West, but between peoples and the global financial oligarchs and their oppressors.

The request to return to the values of Greek (hellenic) culture seems now increasingly imperative for all mankind, this helps the Greeks to get closer to with the peoples of Western Europe, leaving behind any prejudices and passions of the past.
