Another ridiculous act!

The winged boy the one would think is Eros/Cupid is Thanatos/Death, because of the reversed, extinct torch he is leaning on.
The man in the video had written a book, where there was the following photo from a Greek Museum and the label indicated it was a sculpture of Death. However some years after, the label said it was Cupid.
The man had shown how much the perception of Death had changed and this lead to the change of label in order to prove him a liar.



In later eras, as the transition from life to death in Elysium became a more attractive option, Thanatos came to be seen as a beautiful Ephebe. He became associated more with a gentle passing than a woeful demise. Many Roman sarcophagi depict him as a winged boy, very much akin to Cupid: "Eros with crossed legs and torch reversed became the commonest of all symbols for Death", observes Arthur Bernard Cook.[11]
Thanatos has also been portrayed as a slumbering infant in the arms of his mother Nyx, or as a youth carrying a butterfly (the ancient Greek word "ψυχή" can mean soul or butterfly, or life, amongst other things) or a wreath of poppies (poppies were associated with Hypnos and Thanatos because of their hypnogogic traits and the eventual death engendered by overexposure to them).

Bishop as a guest teacher!

 A bishop has asked permission from the Greek Ministry of Education to teach and it was granted to him, as all politicians are afraid they might lose some votes. The bishop visits a school in his area and teaches instead of the teacher. He teached in a school about Islam, Ancient Greek Religion and Hinduism. Of course he has no clue about any of the subjects. Why these three religions? One can understand that priests are afraid of the Islam, but the other two? The Ancient Greek Religion is the Hellenic Ethnic Religion and they don't how many people are interested in this religion. Probably everything except the Abrahamic Religions, are sort of Hinduism to them, the Hellenic Philosophical Schools included. Most followers of the Hellenic Ethnic Religion, which is a Religion of life, are followers of a School as well, which try to figure out what was before and after this life.
Another bishop does the same. The "inviting" Headmaster said that it was the first time in 30 years of  service that a bishop visited a school.

2 wrong impressions

The Homepage of the Greek Orthodox Church of Crete states, that the first Christians in Crete were Jewish people. Christianity was and is a Jewish sect. The same was everywhere in the Roman Empire. However in Greece priests and theologians give the impression, that as soon as the apostles set their foot on a Greek area, the Hellenes converted in masses to Christianity.

Another interesting part is that the Ottomans were in favour of the Orthodox Church throughout its history. In the Empire there were communities of Orthodox, Catholics and Armenians, all integrated. All Catholics are under one Pope so the Catholics of the Empire were the natural allies of the foreign Catholic States. The Orthodox Patriarchs however, are adversaries, so Russia was no threat as Russia supported the Patriarch of Moscow against the Patriarch of Constantinople.

Η Εκκλησία της Κρήτης είναι Αποστολική. Πρώτοι κήρυκες του Χριστιανισμού στην νήσο ήταν οι Εβραιοκρήτες, που παραβρέθηκαν στο κήρυγμα του Πέτρου την ημέρα της Πεντηκοστής στα Ιεροσόλυμα, σύμφωνα με την αφήγηση των Πράξεων των Αποστόλων ( β΄, 11). Ο πρώτος όμως πυρήνας που οργανώθηκε περί το 64 μ.Χ. από τον Απόστολο Παύλο κατά την γ΄ αποστολική περιοδεία του.

Η τουρκοκρατία (1645-1898) μετέβαλε, ανάμεσα στα άλλα, και τη θρησκευτική κατάσταση στην Κρήτη. Μία από τις πρώτες πολιτικές πράξεις της τουρκικής διοίκησης ήταν και η αποκατάσταση της ορθόδοξης ιεραρχίας στην κρητική Εκκλησία.

10,000 refugee children are missing, says Europol


 The Guardian
 10,000 refugee children are missing, says Europol

The EU’s criminal intelligence agency warns pan-European gangs are targeting minors for sex abuse and slavery

At least 10,000 unaccompanied child refugees have disappeared after arriving in Europe, according to the EU’s criminal intelligence agency. Many are feared to have fallen into the hands of organised trafficking syndicates.

In the first attempt by law enforcement agencies to quantify one of the most worrying aspects of the migrant crisis, Europol’s chief of staff told the Observer that thousands of vulnerable minors had vanished after registering with state authorities.

Brian Donald said 5,000 children had disappeared in Italy alone, while another 1,000 were unaccounted for in Sweden. He warned that a sophisticated pan-European “criminal infrastructure” was now targeting refugees. “It’s not unreasonable to say that we’re looking at 10,000-plus children. Not all of them will be criminally exploited; some might have been passed on to family members. We just don’t know where they are, what they’re doing or whom they are with.”

The plight of unaccompanied child refugees has emerged as one of the most pressing issues in the migrant crisis. Last week it was announced that Britain would accept more unaccompanied minors from Syria and other conflict zones. According to Save the Children, an estimated 26,000 unaccompanied children entered Europe last year. Europol, which has a 900-strong force of intelligence analysts and police liaison officers, believes 27% of the million arrivals in Europe last year were minors.

“Whether they are registered or not, we’re talking about 270,000 children. Not all of those are unaccompanied, but we also have evidence that a large proportion might be,” said Donald, indicating that the 10,000 figure is likely to be a conservative estimate of the actual number of unaccompanied minors who have disappeared since entering Europe.

In October, officials in Trelleborg, southern Sweden, revealed that some 1,000 unaccompanied refugee children who had arrived in the port town over the previous month had gone missing. On Tuesday a separate report, again from Sweden, warned that many unaccompanied refugees vanished and that there was “very little information about what happens after the disappearance”.

In the UK the number of children who disappear soon after arriving as asylum seekers has doubled over the past year, raising fears that they are also being targeted by criminal gangs.

Mariyana Berket, of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), said: “Unaccompanied minors from regions of conflict are by far the most vulnerable population; those without parental care that have either been sent by their families to get into Europe first and then get the family over, or have fled with other family members.”

Donald confirmed Europol had received evidence some unaccompanied child refugees in Europe had been sexually exploited. In Germany and Hungary, the former a popular destination country for refugees and migrants, with the latter an important transit state, large numbers of criminals had been caught exploiting migrants, he said. “An entire [criminal] infrastructure has developed over the past 18 months around exploiting the migrant flow. There are prisons in Germany and Hungary where the vast majority of people arrested and placed there are in relation to criminal activity surrounding the migrant crisis,” said Donald.

The police agency has also documented a disturbing crossover between organised gangs helping to smuggle refugees into the EU and human-trafficking gangs exploiting them for sex and slavery. He said that longstanding criminal gangs known to be involved in human trafficking, whose identity had been logged in the agency’s Phoenix database, were now being caught exploiting refugees.

“The ones who have been active in human smuggling are now appearing in our files in relation to migrant smuggling,” said Donald.

Europol will take evidence from organisations working on the Balkans route, which requested a meeting with the law enforcement agency specifically to discuss children vanishing. “Their concern is in relation to the number of unaccompanied minors. They’re asking for help in identifying how these children are identified and then brought into the criminal infrastructure. They’re dealing with this on a daily basis, they’ve come to us because they see it as a big problem.” He warned the public to be vigilant, stating that most child refugees who had gone missing would be hiding in plain sight. “These kids are in the community, if they’re being abused it’s in the community. They’re not being spirited away and held in the middle of forests, though I suspect some might be, they’re in the community – they’re visible. As a population we need to be alert to this.”

Europe’s chaotic approach to the migration crisis led last week to calls for Greece to be removed from the open-borders Schengen zone, a development that a senior UN official has described as a “new nadir” in the EU’s approach.

Writing in the Observer, the UN special representative on migration, Peter Sutherland, said such a move would “effectively transform it [Greece] into an open-air holding pen for countless thousands of asylum seekers. The idea is inhumane and a gross violation of basic European principles”.

    This article was amended on 11 February 2016 to remove the term “sex work” relating to children. Children caught up in the sex trade are victims of abuse.

How Nazis, Communists and Anarchists support Capitalism!

In Greece farmers want to demonstrate against some new laws. It is not as interesting, if their claims make sense or if this whole campaign is worthwhile. Interesting is the cooperation of the two totalitarian fractions with the System against the people they say they support. Anarchists are absent this time. The man below speaks in Greek and is a farmer somewhere near modern Sparta. He speaks against Golden Dawn, the Greek Neonazi party, and against KKE, the Greek Communist party.
He says that the people who broke the windscreen and the windows of the police car, were members of the Golden Dawn and especially they were under the command of somebody called Bukuras. Golden Dawn says they were ex-members. The police used this incindent as an excuse to stop the farmers from entering with their tractors Athens.
On the other hand the Thessalian farmers were aloud to enter with their tractors, because they were controlled by the Greek Communist Party. They demonstrated and they orated in central Athens, but they didn't let the Peloponnesians say something. Everything had to be under the control of the Communist Party and they made a carneval out of it, as the Peloponnesians witnessed.







Communists defending the Parliament against Anarchists. This happened in October 2011. Other demonstrants of course don't want to take sides, so the demonstration was over for the majority.


Some Anarchists who seem they are on very friendly terms with the Police.

War against common sense!

A monk Methodius says that the Jews should be careful of a Greek Hitler. Not only does he preach nazi conspiracy theories, He doesn't look at the map. How big is Greece? How big is USA? That is what they do, they let the people nearly illiterate and they preach nonsense people have to believe, because they are the ...mouths of Jahweh. They don't have any solutions, they don't talk even common sense. He says Greece doesn't need any jewish money, meaning probably the markets. So we should assume, that the Church of Greece has a fully developped alternative economic model for Greece. Factories, resources, know-how, everything is there to start producing goods for the needs of the Greek people!

1995 CE a Christian Mob attacks the Civilisation!

Rotunda is monument that wasn't made by Christians, nor was it made for their use. Monday, 30 October 1995, just 20 years ago, a concert was planed to take place in Rotunda. Sakis Papadimitriou, a jazz musician and Georgia Syllaiou a singer would be the performers. The TV channel of the Church called the then Minister of Culture Mikroutsikos worthy of his name, mikroutsikos means tiny, because he gave his consent for the concert.
A Christian mob had assembled at that time outside the Rotunda. They sweared everyone who entered the monument as antichrist, antihellene, satanist, male prostitutes, a professor of Constitunional Law was asked what was he teaching their children (constitunional law maybe?), "you want to turn the church into a brothel", "you want to turn the church into a mosque", were things the mob was shouting.
Then like their spiritual ancestors here:


The Greek Orthodox mob breaks the door, enters, knocks down one security guard, they throw everything down and then they surround the piano. Yes, the musical instrument. Priests, monks and laymen hit it, kick it and they want to take it out. "Miasma", "blasphemous and satanic instrument", " piano in the church, these antichrists".
A monk had a knife and stabbed the piano, the chords were cut. The beast had died...
The police didn't do anything to protect the people against the mob, 50% of the policemen are Nazis. The mob was free to hit, pull women by the hair, swear, destroy. The subbishop of Thessaloniki takes a microphon and rejoices: "The people of God have won". (They are always brave, if aided by police and state and outnumber by far their ...enemies, take them by surprise etc).

Here it is said that the songs would be ancient hellenic hymns. And the mob dares to call the people antihellenic.

The singer says that they wouldn't sing jazz. There was the usual defamation campaign by the "lambs of the religion of love". The musician was called a Turc, a rich eccentric tobacco merchant(?) and was said that he through a dead cat in the chancel.

A monk who entered first, stabbed a security guard with a knife, hit the singer and threw a chair at her and then tried to attack the musician as well but failed.

The police arrested the musician and the head of the police accussed him of earning money for the concert and having attended pacifistic events. The head of the police let him go, when he said his father was an admiral of the royal navy, before 1968.

A district attorney said that the ones who should be prosecuted should be the musician and the minister. The Greek State didn't dismiss neither the attorney nor the head of the police.

The musician had to work to pay for the piano, that it didn't belong to him.

Here the musician said that the attack was in three waves. The first were the priests and christian organisations, the second were muscles and the third ignorant folk, who believed that some muslim would chant muslim prayers.
Λίγα πραγματάκια να πω... Η συναυλία θα είχε τελετουργικό χαρακτήρα. Δεν θα ήταν τζάζ. Ο κ. Παπαδημητρίου δεν είναι εκκεντρικός πλούσιος καπνέμπορος, ούτε τούρκος πιανίστας, ούτε έβαλε μαύρη ψόφια γάτα στο ιερό. Επίσης δεν έχει καπνίσει ποτέ (οι παραπάνω χαρακτηρισμοί ανήκουν στον κύκλο της Μητρόπολης). Συνεχίζω. Ο μοναχός, ο οποίος μαχαίρωσε το φύλακα, με απεκάλεσε σατανίστρια και, αφού με χαστούκισε, με έριξε στο δεξί κλίτος της Ροτόντας , ακολούθως μου πέταξε μία πολυθρόνα σκηνοθέτη –η οποία με πήρε ξυστά– αλλά χωρίς να το ξέρει με έσωσε από το πλήθος που έσπασε τις πόρτες και όρμησε αλαλάζον εναντίον του πιάνου, του κατ' αυτούς «οργάνου του Διαβόλου», το οποίο και έκαναν φύλλο και φτερό. Κατόπιν, ο μοναχός επιτέθηκε με το μαχαίρι στον Σάκη Παπαδημητρίου, ο οποίος όμως μπόρεσε να τον σταματήσει. Κάναμε πολλές συναυλίες για να ξεπληρώσουμε την επισκευή του πιάνου, το οποίο ανήκε στον Γ. Νταουλτζίδη, από τη ζημιά που επέφεραν οι «πιστοί». Πηγή: www.lifo.gr

Go away women, the place is sacred!

The Greek Christian Church wants to appropriate a World Heritage monument, the Rotunda at Thessaloniki. At first they managed to have twelve ceremonies a year in that monument. A fortnight ago a group of women wanted to visit the place as it is open to the public and a clerk of the ministry, told them to go away as the "the place is sacred and you are women". The Monument is to be used for Christian services twelve times a year, but the Altar is there all the time. The Bishop of Thessaloniki doesn't know why the clerk could have said such a thing. "Maybe they went too near to the Altar and they might break something? Or they looked under the spread?" Yes, probably they wanted to see the dragon under the Altar.

In Greece it is the chapels that have villas!

Rich people in Greece have the habit of building villas on a public beach or in a forest or in an archaeological site and claim a wide area as their property. What is the trick? One buys a cheap chapel like one in the picture below:








One places it in his garden and dedicates it to a saint, preferably one, whose celebration is at a time of dead season. You go to the local church and claim you have built a chapel. They will see that the chapel gets electricity, water and whatever else needed. The villa then will be registered as the guesthouse for the pilgrims of the saint.
The law changes, but because mentalities do not so easily, there are variations to how it is exactly done and of course not everybody can do it, one has to belong to some cliques.
A stupid way, probably because the system was being changed but the priests could not wait, was the one some mayors chose. In order to give electricity to a chapel they invented a whole settlement. They said that the area where the chapel was, is inhabited and electricity should be provided. After some years inspectors appeared and couldn't find any villages. Maybe the chapel founder went bankrupt and could not build a "guesthouse" around it.

Make Greece a secular State!

 The one is an article of the Bishop of Peiraius, the one who thinks it is his business if Elton John should be a Sir or not, the one who believes in World Conspiracies etc.
He calls for the monks:

In that way?



At the time of the Othomans they couldn't be violent, or they didn't have to. Anyway why was a monk needed a the time of the Neohellenic Enlightment and not earlier?
The other article is about the discomfort of Archbishop of Athens cause by the Patriarchate of Constantinople.
The problem is the fight between Patriarch of Constantinople and the Church of Greece. Their business, it shouldn't concern other people.
However the Greek Constitution has an article about the predominant religion in Greece. The Greek Orthodox Christianity is not predominant and if the Archbishop of Athens says that the Patriarch of Constantinople is a Heretic, the Greek State should not interfere, it would be too ridiculous. The third article of the Greek Constitution says that the Archbishop of Athens and his Church of Greece has to follow the Patriarch of Constantinople. Some bishops in Greece among them the Bishop of Peiraius, already call the Patriarch a Heretic of Ecumenism. The Greek Orthodox who are less than the third of the Greek Population are divided between the followers of the Patriarch and the Archbishop.
The Greek State has to abolish this article and let the Church go its own way.

In favour of Martial Arts!

Priests usually make it clear that they don't like the philosophy and the way of thinking of martial arts. The laymen around them, however disguise the religious way of thinking and in order to have their religion's way, they pretend to use logical arguments. Of course their reasoning is full of flaws, but they use the authority of their status, which they usually owe to their connections with the Church and the lack of good education in Greece.
By the way Judo and Taekwondo have also the same background and they are disciplines of the Olympic games and Greece has won medals.
The reasoning they use is that if one learns to hit, he will have the urge to use his knowledge. Then one shouldn't go to the army, because there people are taught how to shoot with rifles.
In Athens everybody learned to box, wrestle and the mixed style pankration. It was no problem, because it was a society of reason and virtue.
