Up to million in the streets of Athens

Riot rage: Athens protesters throw firebombs, police shoot tear gas

A rally in the Greek capital turned violent when protesters in Syntagma Square lobbed Molotov cocktails at police, who retaliated by firing tear gas at the demonstrators.

Security forces also reportedly used flashbang grenades and pepper spray to push protesters back from the parliament building. According to Greek newspaper Kathimerin, the police had been ordered to orders to refrain from using chemicals against protesters.

It's as thousands gathered in front of parliament for the country’s biggest anti-austerity protest since the new government came to power.

Clashes erupted in different parts of Athens Syntagma Square, with demonstrators throwing fire bombs at police.

Witnesses reported smoke rising over the square as security forces dispersed most of the protesters. Some remained, and continued the demonstration; others relocated.

Athens police have arrested at least 20 protesters so far, local media report. Some of the arrests come after members of the radical leftist party Syriza clashed with riot police in the streets of Panepistimiou and Benaki, in the capital's downtown district. Police reportedly again used stun grenades to disperse the hooded youths.

Several injuries are reported.

The general strike halted transit and other industries nationwide. As many as 350,000 Greeks have poured out into streets across the country, estimates the civil servants union ADEDY.

First win of the Army Union in Portugal

First win of the Army Union in Portugal, the Portuguese government, after a direct threat with movement, announced that it is withdrawing the proposal to increase insurance premiums which had caused a storm of protest across the country and given rise to the famous statement of the Army Union.

The government had announced that it intends to increase its insurance contributions to 18% with a corresponding reduction in income of workers and hence the military to meet the demands of creditors, which led to the Army Union statement.

After his meeting with the country's President Cavaco Silva, Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho, who was asked by the  Army Union not to simply surrender, but ... immigrate, and officially announced the withdrawal of the measure.

Portugal, which in the previous period was for several German politicians 'standard' of implementation of the austerity measures was forced to back down after the huge reactions to the agreement with its partners to increase from 11% to 18% insurance contributions of workers and to reduce their employers respective  from 23.75% to 18%.

Greece will burn after the us elections!

Obama has ordered: Greece must be kept within in the eurozone until the U.S. elections. Reuters reported the fact that exposure to Greek debt from the IMF and the EU will be delayed and will be made public after the U.S. elections!

It is clear that everything, methodically marching under this plan, according to which, after the U.S. elections and the almost certain re-election of Obama to the presidency, Holocaust is expected  in Greece!

Our country has entered the incinerator and  rapid developments are expected,  that will lead to an unprecedented change for the worse of things in our country. Already the first messages began to arrive: If Greece fails to meet its goals in 2013, to January 1, 2014 will impose new measures flattening wages and pensions! Almost certainly also be considered the name of Skopje "Upper Macedonia" or "New Macedonia"! Name that will give Skopje after Obama's re-election, just as did Bush Junior after the second election to the U.S. Presidency, when he recognized FYROM as "Republic of Macedonia".

Decisions about the burning of Greece and other areas that will flatten the country and its people (economy, new inflows of illegal immigrants from possible war in the Middle East) have been received. It is certain that the Samaras government knows , but do not speak.

There is some serious information that something going on in the Ministry of Public Order. Ie that any measures taken to rapid changes and impacts on Greece, immediately after the U.S. elections. We do not want to continue any further in order not to frighten anyone. But ask the Minister of Public Order, Mr. Dendias: You know something more sir Dendias for upcoming in our country after the U.S. elections? What do the Obama-statements and decisions have to do with the report of the troika after the U.S. elections? They prepare a hurricane Katrina-new invasion against Greece?

PS. Is it true that the Public Οrder Μinistry purchased thousands of bags for corpses?
What do they know? We have the right to know!

West Attempts to Trigger Clash of Civilizations

In France where people are sent to jail for “Holocaust denial,” considered by law a religious hate crime, it seems strange then that well timed, raunchy cartoons designed solely to insult and inflame hate against and amongst Muslims worldwide would be defended vigorously by French politicians who claim, according to the Christian Science Monitor, that “freedom of the press should not be infringed.”With Neo-Conservative warmongers behind a recent inflammatory film titled, “The Innocence of Muslims,” and their counterparts amongst radical sectarian extremists leading violent protests across the Middle East and North Africa, it would almost seem as if the publication of insulting cartoons by a French paper, “Charlie Hebdo,” was part of a grander strategy to create a manufactured conflict between Islam and the West, setting the stage for more overt military operations to take over faltering covert operations in Syria and beyond.France (and the West) Are Playing Both Sides It is a fact that France itself has provided state sponsorship of terrorism from Libya to Syria, arming, funding, and politically backing the very groups taking to the streets, burning Western consulates, and killing bystanders, diplomats, and security forces alike. France had armed, trained, funded, and provided air support for the UN-listed terrorist outfit, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) last year in Libya, in their bid to overthrow the government of Muammar Qaddafi.

Image: Libyan Mahdi al-Harati of the US State Department, United Nations, and the UK Home Office (page 5, .pdf)-listed terrorist organization, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), addressing fellow terrorists in Syria. Harati is now commanding a Libyan brigade operating inside of Syria attempting to destroy the Syrian government and subjugate the Syrian population. Traditionally, this is known as “foreign invasion.” France is one of a handful of nations currently leading state-sponsorship of terrorist groups like LIFG in Syria.

….

LIFG had merged officially with Al Qaeda, according to a US Army West Point Combating Terrorism Center report in 2007, long before the French knowingly aided and abetted these terrorists in their bid to overthrow and overrun Libya. Currently, the government of France is funding and arming these very same terrorists, who promptly transferred weapons, cash, and fighters to Syria to begin terror operations there.
The report titled, “Al-Qa’ida’s Foreign Fighters in Iraq” stated specifically:

The apparent surge in Libyan recruits traveling to Iraq may be linked the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group’s (LIFG) increasingly cooperative relationship with al‐Qa’ida, which culminated in the LIFG officially joining al‐Qa’ida on November 3, 2007. (page 9, .pdf)

France had recently announced its intentions to overtly arm these terror groups operating in Syria, now exposed by Human Rights Watch as carrying out systematic and widespread atrocities against the Syrian population.
The Hindu, in their article, “France to fund opposition in Syria,” reported:

“Reuters quoted a “diplomatic source” as saying France had started supporting parts of Syria that are apparently being controlled by the armed opposition. More alarmingly, the report pointed out that Paris was considering supplying heavy artillery to anti-government fighters — a move that would harden the possibility of a full-blown civil war in the country.”

Now France, through its media, and the complicity of its politicians’ tacit support, is providing their new terrorist allies with something else – a causus belli for confrontation with the West to reinsert in the public’s mind the adversarial plot device needed to introduce more direct military intervention where the covert support of listed-terrorist groups has now seemingly failed.
The Lie We Are Expected to Believe
What we are now expected to believe is that France, the US, UK, and other nations were benevolently, and unwittingly helping these groups into power, only to be betrayed by extremists.
In reality, the nature of these militant groups was known years in advance, these groups specifically chosen to lead the violent subversion of Western targets across the Arab World – with the possibility of sectarian genocide and significant blowback acknowledged as an acceptable risk.
In 2007, an article by Seymour Hersh published in the New Yorker titled, “The Redirection” admitted that:

“To undermine Iran, which is predominantly Shiite, the Bush Administration has decided, in effect, to reconfigure its priorities in the Middle East. In Lebanon, the Administration has coöperated with Saudi Arabia’s government, which is Sunni, in clandestine operations that are intended to weaken Hezbollah, the Shiite organization that is backed by Iran. The U.S. has also taken part in clandestine operations aimed at Iran and its ally Syria. A by-product of these activities has been the bolstering of Sunni extremist groups that espouse a militant vision of Islam and are hostile to America and sympathetic to Al Qaeda.” -The Redirection, Seymour Hersh (2007)

Hersh’s report would also include:

“the Saudi government, with Washington’s approval, would provide funds and logistical aid to weaken the government of President Bashir Assad, of Syria. The Israelis believe that putting such pressure on the Assad government will make it more conciliatory and open to negotiations.” -The Redirection, Seymour Hersh (2007)

Thomsen IMF: Just an egg for dinner

On Wednesday, at 7.30 in the evening, outside the Ministry of Finance, the known "activist" Dimitris Rellos did again his miracle. He set up a trap to troika. He threw a bag of eggs to the hated Paul Thomsen of the IMF who was here to negotiate with the Greek(?) traitors, the new austerity measures that will destroy Greece (Hellas). 
According to information of makeleio.gr, two eggs popped in the heads of the police guards, one "eaten" by Thomsen and the other two fell onto the car of the IMF.

Οf course not a word in big media!

Portugal: The army threatens to interfere with movement because of the Memorandum

Portugal, for the first time after the "carnation revolution", is driven in an emergency situation by the Armed Forces of the country who threaten with a military movement and intervention in political life, if  the policy of Memorandum that has impoverished the Portuguese (too) continues. They call the prime minister Pedro Passos Coelho to resign (actually he is asked to "migrate")!

In its communication, the Associação de Praças (AP) is accusing the Portuguese government coalition that is "destroying the country" and that "the people turned into guinea pigs for social experiments with the new austerity measures!".

"It is clear that the policies imposed by this government have failed. Have focused on dissolution of the workers and social rights by imposing more and more austerity, more unemployment and more insecurity " among other highlights in communication the Associação de Praças (AP).

But the Union of Portuguese military armed forces goes one step further outside of recommendations: It warns the government that they will not stand still in the new wave of austerity sweeping the Portuguese society!

In its communication, the AP states that it wishes to remain a mere observer "as this despicable attack was being prepared" noting that "it is not the culture of the Army to avoid situations!"

"Mr. Prime Minister, for the sake of Portugal and the Portuguese do them a favor and resign now leave the country" (!) Even mentioned in the statement, which comes after the permission of AP to the Portuguese military to attend Saturday concentrations as they are too citizens "

The AP also accuses the government of Portugal that has "turned the poor poorer and the middle class in neopoors leading a devastated country without any target in the abyss." And the statement ends with a clear warning that "the Portuguese armed forces will be forced to take the fate of the country in their hands!"

"We will not allow the Troika (EU, ECB, IMF) and no other to continue. We have legal authority to defend the Portuguese constitution and we can not, nor will not abandon a nation with 900 years history fade away because you decided to make Portugal hostage to international business cycles. "

Finally, the AP reminds Coelho that "All personnel of the armed forces of the country has vowed to defend the country, to guard the Constitution and laws of the Republic and void such pursued policies because they are contrary to what the armed forces have vowed ".

It is the third time in the last two weeks the Associação de Praças sent a similar warning to the Portuguese government and say that "it is the last"! Imagine if they had to face external threat and the Memorandum policy of disarming  (that is happening in Greece) what they would do: They would han invaded with chariots in the prime minister's office!

Jean-Luc Godard: “We should thank Greece”

“We should thank Greece. It is the West which has a debt to Greece.

Jean-Luc Godard has cancelled his trip to the Cannes Film Festival, where he participated with his new film  “Film Socialisme”.

2010 marks the 50th anniversary of his first film, “Breathless.” (À bout de Souffle)”

In a laconic letter that he sent to the french newspaper “La Liberation”, the filmmaker made a reference to the financial issues of Greece.

“Due to problems the Greeks would be familiar with, I unfortunately cannot be at your disposal in Cannes,” he said.

“I’d walk to the ends of the earth for the festival,” he added, “But alas I will not be taking a single step further. Sincerely, Jean-Luc Godard.”

In its original French, the statement read: “Suite à des problèmes de type Grec, je ne pourrai être votre obligé à Cannes.“Avec le festival, j’irai jusqu’à la mort, mais je ne ferai pas un pas de plus. Amicalement. Jean-Luc Godard.”

In another interview to  the `Les Inrocks`magazine  Godard said the following:

“We should thank Greece. It was the West which has a debt to Greece. Philosophy, democracy, the tragedy … We always forget the link between tragedy and democracy. Without Sophocles there isn’t a Pericles. Without Pericles there isn’t a Sophocles.
The technological world in which we live in owes everything to Greece. Who invented logic? Aristotle. If this and that, therefore that. This is what the dominant powers use all day, making sure that there is certainty and no contradiction, so that we can continue being rational. Hannah Arendt had said that logic takes us away from totalitarianism. So everybody owes money to Greece today. Greece could ask for a trillion copyrights to the contemporary world and it would be logical to give them to her. Immediately.
Greeks are accused of being liars … It reminds me of an old syllogism that I learned in school. Epaminondas is a liar, or all the Greeks are liars, therefore Epaminondas is Greek. We have not advanced much. “

(Excerpt from an interview to `Les Inrocks`magazine  on May 18, 2010.)

Gigantic 'Balloon Of Magma' Is Growing Under Santorini - Will The Volcano Be Dangerous Again?

MessageToEagle.com - Santorini Volcano in Greece is the site of the catastrophic Minoan eruption, one of the largest volcanic eruptions in recorded history of mankind and known as the Thera eruption.

The Minoan eruption took place around 1650 BC. and buried the major port city of Akrotiri with more than 20 meters of ash and created Santorini’s famous, present-day cliffs.

The question is: ‘When will the volcano next erupt?’

Santorini has been relatively calm since its last eruption in 1950. Until now. The Santorini caldera is awake again and rapidly deforming at levels never seen before, explained Georgia Tech Associate Professor Andrew Newman, who has studied Santorini since setting up more than 20 GPS stations on the island in 2006.

“After decades of little activity, a series of earthquakes and deformation began within the Santorini caldera in January of 2011,” said Newman.

"“Since then, our instruments on the northern part of the island have moved laterally between five and nine centimeters. The volcano’s magma chamber is filling, and we are keeping a close eye on its activity."

According to yet another survey carried out by an international team of scientists from Oxford University and the University of Bristol, the chamber of molten rock beneath Santorini’s volcano expanded 10-20 million cubic metres – up to 15 times the size of London’s Olympic Stadium – between January 2011 and April 2012.

OPEN LETTER TO THE PROSECUTOR OF THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT (ICC)

Sir/ Madame,

Because of the tragic situation created in Greece, and because here, in one way or another, all current and former politicians and all their partners enjoy full immunity from criminal offenses they may commit during their stint in governmental office, we decided to turn to International Courts and three appeals were sent to you. The first one on October 11, 2011, the second on March 2, 2012 and the third on July 11, 2012. The first appeal was redacted by two ladies.  The second was redacted by me, and another 25 citizens had signed it in order to urge the commencement of the investigations. The last one was redacted by journalists and lawyers.

On 1 May 2012, I have put on the internet a petition to inform (via the background ) the global public opinion about the real situation in Greece about our defensive moves including the three appeals to the ICC and to ask for help. In the same time I have also made a blog ( JusticeForGreece ) to accommodate the Greek version of the petition and to present  there all the legal steps taken by citizens especially against the political and State leadership of the country after 2009 and all the evidence capable of supporting the struggle of all Greeks. See the About and take from the blog any evidence you need. There are already a lot. Please note that will be also collected more evidence in a new location: Crimes Against Greeks.

After the last elections (June 2012) I made the background shorter and I published the initial one (updated) as an article on the petition’s blog. As you can read there, the full background is a very short abstract of my appeal to the ICC.

The last part of my story is that yesterday I heard that you have ignored totally the second and the third appeal, and that you have examined only the first one and you have sent this answer: “Please be assured that your communication dated 11 October 2011 was received on 25 October 2011 and duly analyzed with your other communications. However, … the conduct described in your communication does not appear to fall within the limited jurisdiction of the Court. As such, there is no basis to proceed with further analysis at this time. However, that decision may be reconsidered if new facts or evidence are presented.”

But Sir, you have on your desk a lot of other information and evidence !!!! Why you ignored them ???? You are required to examine all the evidence that you have on hand and you can not select only a few of them ! A prosecutor must be objective not …. selective. You have received my appeal with a lot of evidence seven months ago and you have no the right to ignore it. We are speaking about genocide and crimes against humanity which are not a personal affair and as you know we have no powers to make indictments but only to inform you . And we did so. We are simple witnesses and we have described to you THE SAME crimes in different words and we have given different evidence and different reasons to examine them.

THE  ONLY THING THAT WE ASK  IS THE  INITIATION OF A INVESTIGATION ! Why are you ignoring us ? Why you are not looking to all the evidence of the case ? Why you are not seeking additional information from States, organs of the United Nations, intergovernmental or non-governmental organizations, or other reliable sources?

FOR THE REASON OF TRUTH HERE IS  MY  LETTERS TO YOU (You can also find them on myblog and other places on the internet )

TO THE PROSECUTOR OF THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT (ICC)

INFORMATION AND EVIDENCE PERTINENT TO SERIOUS BREACH OF THE ROME STATUTE OF THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT (ICC) BY POLITICAL AND STATE LEADERSHIP  OF GREECE

Dear Sir/ Madam

I inform you, that this time, as we speak, serious crimes are committed in Greece and only you can stop them,  as they concern crimes against humanity and attempted genocide of an entire race, and there is no judicial authority  in Greece able to  investigate them .  I am speaking about Genocide by killing members of the  population, by  causing serious bodily or/and mental harm,  by deliberately inflicting on the  conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole (or in part), by imposing measures intended to prevent births and by  forcibly transferring children. And I am speaking about crimes against humanity because during the last 2 years  :

- there were a lot of  inhumane acts against the population, causing great suffering, serious injury  to body and to mental and physical health

- there were intentional inflictions of conditions of life,  inter alia the deprivation of access to food and medicine, calculated to bring about the destruction of part of a population,

- there were intentional inflictions of severe pain or suffering, whether physical and mental,

- there were   intentional   severe deprivations of fundamental rights contrary to international law by reason of the identity of the collectivity

-  we have lost the right of full ownership over our bodies and we can easy  become victims of  human organ trafficking (Enslavement)

- there were coercive acts to transfer of persons from the area in which they was lawfully present, without grounds permitted under international law .

And all these  acts were committed by the political and state leadership of Greece as a part of a widespread and  systematic attack directed against the  population, with knowledge of the attack.

So I recorded the most important , in my opinion, criminal acts and their consequences which  I believe that demonstrate completely the validity of the above allegations ……  via post mail I have already sent you 14 DVDs. Thank you.

Sincerely and always at your disposal, Christina Salemi

15. Άγγελος Σταματίου,  with comment (12 of February and i went to Syntagma to protest against the vote of memorandum 2. All protestors were desperate squawking against Troika, the members of the parliament and the parties. Suddenly, and without provocative attitude from the protestors side the police forces sprayed me and the other protestors with chemicals. It was awful, i could’t breath, i was crying for over 20 minutes and i could not explain why they sprayed us. We were just protesting democratically without violence. This fact infuriated about 30 to 40 people of the crowd who were wearing hoods and masks and they moved out of the crowd and started vandalize stores and breaking marbles to use against the police forces. They were so different from the crowd and they were also acting so different. The atmosphere became suffocating and the only think i could think was how to go home as soon as it was possible. I feel betrayed by my own country that faces democratic citizens like me and many others that were protesting peacefully like terrorists or common criminals.

The importance of the Greeks (Hellenes)

Part from the article

GERMANY, the DISGRACE of Europe

Authored by PANAGIOTIS TRAIANOU

Let’s take things up from the beginning to make clear to our readers what we have been meaning to say. We are starting by looking at a distant “map” of the European history …Distant enough to see its whole course but at the same time close enough to not lose track of its “leading roles”. So, we are starting from finding out which event is a really important historic event for Europe and which is not. We are starting from an elementary “clearing up” of the useless historic “floatsam and jetsam” that we are bearing in our heads and which has no importance. Out of the supposedly complex European history only a few dates are really important. What is described by the history science as “important”, it is usually an unimportant repetition that interests only those who are implicated in it and no one else.

For example, an important event for the European history was when Leonidas decided to raise his defence in Thermopylae against the Persian “storm” that was threatening Europe. An important event was when Alexander the Great “galloped” all over Asia. Charlemagne, Napoleon or Peter the Great were unimportant, as impressive as their accompanying phenomena were. Why is that? Because importance lays in the “course” of Europe and not in its interior “layout” that depended on the “galloping” of unimportant men in Europe. No matter how much blood was mixed with mud, the “unimportant” kings of the important Europe remain at the same level …The level defined by Europe itself and its position in the World.

This is the same logic used to judge not only the men but also the great events that were supposed to mark the history of Europe. The Battle of the Granicus River was important for Europe because it had set the grounds for its domination for over a millennium. The fall of Constantinople was unimportant because it just caused a change in the internal correlations of Europe. The battle at Waterloo was unimportant for the same reasons. Trafalgar sea battle was also unimportant. This means that a significant event for Europe and its history is considered to be whatever affects its position in the World and not its internal correlations.

Events and persons who change these correlations are of secondary significance and they are significant just for the peoples that benefit or are affected from them without this causing any change in the general European interests. The battle at Waterloo has without a doubt a great significance for the French and the British people, so does Trafalgar sea battle. But, on the European level these two historic events have no importance. They have no importance, because they haven’t affected the rank of Europe and its peoples in the global hierarchy. Europe would continue to rule the World whichever country had won at the mud of Waterloo or on the waters of Trafalgar.

However, to be able to understand and assess all these facts as they deserve, one should know the position of Europe throughout the human history ...One should know the changes in this position in connection with history ...should know the great key events of the human history and not the unimportant “stops” in between ...in the example in the beginning of the text one should know where "Athens" is and finally where "Beijing" is and he/she should not be affected by the in-betweens ...should not conceive a “blocking” outside “Ankara” as a “stop”. One should not be interested if a “train” got lost in the “Teheran” station or if a “bridge” collapsed on the road towards the end. All the in-between events are unimportant. They are unimportant because they do not affect the general situation. They could have taken place or not without bearing no affect at all to the development of things.

Through this “prism”, Europe is a great “station” in the human history …The “station” immediately after Asia where the great human power systems began. This is why Greeks were the absolutely important people for Europe. This is the reason why, Greeks were for centuries the model for the rest of the European people to compare with. It was the people who had the intelligence, the bravery and also the ability not only to resist the Asian attack, but also to strike back and take from Asia its world ruling position …to bring down its power and transfer it in Europe. It was the absolutely successful model for Europe …The “father” of Europe. Therefore this is why Greeks were also the “godfathers” of Europe. No one else could “baptize” Europe if not they who gave to Europe its global role.

It was them who protected Europe when there was a need and who put it on the top of the world when they could. Simple things like that. The Greeks, as a European people, managed to “defend” Europe all alone and it was them who attacked Asia looking for victory ...The Greek victory that was at the same time a European victory as well. These acts were important because the world –and therefore Europe- would have been different today, if the Greeks had lost the “war” to the Persians ...the world would have also been different if they had not won outside Babylon ...it would have been different, because Rome would not have existed and so would not have existed its affect to the human and the European history.

So 480 BC is an important year for Europe. Why is that? Just because the Asian world leadership could not get into Europe. It is a milestone because up to that point the battles between the “Titans” of that era had been set. The two leading empires of the ancient world have collided and they have “ended up” in a situation. Asian Babylon had imposed absolutely on the African Egypt and it was at last free to claim Europe as well. Its king was considered at that time as a living “God”. It was at the same time the king of Babylon and the Pharaoh of Egypt …The absolute ruler of the Afro-Asian world. He attacked Greece aiming at Europe. Greeks as the European defenders of the borderland resisted this almighty “God” and saved Europe.

323 BC, the year Alexander the Great died, was also important. Why is that? Because his death “locked” the new era. A European man gad “seized” the greatest empire of the World and the history of the human kind moved on to the next “chapter”. From the era of Asia we passed to the era of Europe. Europe up to that point had been threatened by Asia or African Egypt and now it became the absolute ruler. There was a transfer of the European human resources to the Asian territory and the “banks” for Europe’s subsequent ruling were created. European Greeks who moved to Asia and Africa as overlords were the ones who gave the time, the knowledge and the power for Rome to “build” the Europe we all know today. Rome “built” the Europe we know, because the Greeks have “blocked” the giants of the East. It is not pure luck that the Romans considered Alexander to be the thirteenth god.

This is the reason why the Greek awesome kid was a very important factor in the European history. This is why all the European legends and myths had Alexander as their reference point. The Greek and therefore the European ruler of the world was he, who led Europe to the “top” of the world. For more than two thousand years, Europe has been the absolute ruling power in the world. The power “moved” from one capital to another, but it always remained within the “walls” of Europe and its omnipotence was solid. Power moved from Rome to New Rome and from there it got to the rest of the capitals. The last holder of the European ruling was London …the Roman Londinium.

For two thousand years, Europeans collected unlimited profits from the “galloping” of Alexander the Great …from the “galloping” of the Greek “bull” who took beautiful Europe onto his back and raised her on the “Olympus” of glory and power. Latin, French, Spanish, British and Russian people saw the world from a “higher” position due to the Greek achievement. Even the Finnish people today, who are supposed to “reproach” the Greeks, we don’t know what type of igloo would they be in today, if it wasn’t for the Greeks.

All Europeans benefited from the Greeks. All European peoples collected profits from the Greek triumph. They had the whole world on their “sting” because the Greeks offered it to them. For as long as Europe remained on the “top” of the world due to the victory of the Greeks, its internal state had no importance. The inland wars –and therefore the battles between the kings of Europe- were battles among the heirs and these battles have a secondary importance when they do not affect the “throne” itself.

By looking at the current position of Europe in the global “chessboard” one could comprehend that this “throne” has been long gone. Europe is today the “shadow” of its former self. It has nearly ended up to be a “supporting actor” in the human history play. So what’s the conclusion? Something important and extremely tragic has happened at the expense of Europe and we just have not realized it yet. Something happened in between and we did not realize it. In the oversupply of unimportant historic data we lost what really matters. Human kind changed “station” and we did not even realized it. The global power has changed continent and we, the Europeans, never realized when was it that we lost the battle.

It is therefore a sure thing that something important has happened and the power of the planet moved to another continent. At some point Europe has to have lost the war so that American Washington decides for the future of the World. After the important Greek triumph there should also have been an important debacle for Europe. It is impossible to lose the world supremacy without a corresponding colossal defeat. There should have been a great mistake and we did not realize it. Somewhere between the unimportant wars, we lost the important one. One obviously stupid European offspring in his/her effort to change the internal correlations spoiled the “family” fortune. There is no other explanation. One of the many internal European battles should have consequences to the whole European presence in the world affairs.

Now you can understand the meaning of what we said before which might have seemed exaggerating ...what we said above that it is in the interest of some people to control suffocatingly the history "science". Some powerful factors of history are interested in mixing the important with the unimportant facts so that peoples don’t understand what is really going on. They have interest in making history appear as a totally complicated “science” that is only for the “scientists” and not for the common people. You can see that it is only reasonable for some people to have misinterpreted the historic facts because otherwise some leaders would have been executed in squares all over Europe.

Within the frameworks of this intentional historic wrong information we seek the reasons of the current historic ignorance of the European people. Within the needs of the new powerful people we seek the reasons for the “falsification” of historic details. It has resulted to the situation we are facing today. Europeans lost the battle of world leadership and did not even realize it. It is phenomenal and unheard not only for the modern people in the years of information but even unacceptable for the primitive people. It is as if an Asian man did not know what meant the seizing of Babylon by the European Alexander.

Where can we seek such a colossal defeat? But in a colossal war. The world leadership is not lost in a conflict at a random outpost at the border. A war of the same proportions is required for such a loss and that could be only a World War. Who does not know the World Wars that started in Europe? Even though one knows them, one cannot assess them. Why is that? Because there is a huge difference between them. The First World War was a completely unimportant interior European war, since it did not affect Europe’s “course”. On the contrary, the Second World War was the most important because it ruined Europe. What the Greeks had achieved in “Thermopylae” by stopping the attack from the East that the Europe had sustained from the Asians, the Europeans did not manage to do with the attack from the West that Europe sustained from the Americans

The Second World War was the “end” of the Europe’s world leadership and the “beginning” of the America’s world leadership. The Second World War meant for the European empire what the attack of Alexander the Great had meant for the Asian empire. It was the beginning of the end. If you understand the importance of this war, you can start seeing some things that many people unfortunately do not pay attention to. So, based on the new “point of view” –due to the “distance” taken- you can start detecting those responsible for the European “defeat”. Have the Americans ever attacked Europe? Of course not! Therefore who were those whose stupidity opened the “door” to the Americans and handed over the “sceptre” of Europe?
