Seriously?The Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau said some things about freedom of speech and expression and showed the total ignorance of the World. One would expect something from the West, however as USA has dominated the world and want to make the planet United States of Earth in one way or the other, one cannot expect anything.<div>The West has lived in Middle Ages and after Renaissance tried to bring civilisation back, but there were Reformation and Counter-Reformation before things could move on with Enlightenment. Countries like Germany, Russia were always reactionary and the USA after an encouraging start fell in authoritarianism as well.</div><div>Freedom of expression and speech is no problem; monotheism is, once again. If reason was used there wouldn't be any problems, but monotheistic faiths in religion, politics and culture are the problem. A reasonable person will express his ideas with arguments and would be ashamed to be caught lying or making an evident mistake. That is not the case with monotheists. Monotheists believe in an unintelligible truth, so everything worldly is of no matter to them. They will try anything to convert anybody to their truth so they and the whole humanity can be saved.</div><div>Beliefs have ruined political and philosophical thought. Now everybody has a belief system about everything and doesn't have to defended it with knowledge and reason. People have become or stayed practically illiterate, unable to read a text or listen to a speech. There aren't any intellectual anymore, just hypersensitive celebrities. </div><div>Schools should be teaching virtues like taking responsibility -Trudeau's example of shouting fire-, but Trudeaus, Bidens, Johnsons and Merkels are controlled by people like Trump so money desides everything. Now that computers produce money in phony stockmarkets, nobody has to learn anything. Everything goes by trial and error.</div><div>If somebody's hurt, that's life, he can express his feelings and his thoughts as well. The West should adhere to the Ancient Greek Worldview, because that is what made the West great.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Ἀριστοκλῆςhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15392676200259090250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2527340664457728666.post-26131579061714691892020-05-22T08:46:00.001-07:002020-05-22T08:46:41.361-07:00Pope Francis against Modern Western World!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
The problem is how he and the WASPs intend to solve the "problem"?<br /><br /><a href="http://indiafacts.org/pagan-revival-why-it-is-a-nightmare-for-christianity/?fbclid=IwAR2QXqcz7NlclpuH3ksRLINBBn287rUbj54fgyAftiO5ONpVaDNnKDdr9rw">Pope Francis against Modernity</a><div>
"<br />Pope Francis, the head of the Catholic Church, seems to be on a crusade against paganism – the original and vibrant indigenous religions across the planet that Christians destroyed in the centuries past.<br />In a pre-Christmas speech, the pope told some 20,000 pilgrims and tourists gathered in St Peter’s<br />Square in Vatican City: “Even we Christians, who are also the people of God, risk becoming worldly<br />and losing our identity, ‘paganising’ the Christian style.” (1)<br />Three days earlier in November the pope said at his Santa Marta guesthouse: “The paganisation of<br />life can occur, in our case the Christian life. Do we live as Christians? It seems like we do. But really<br />our life is pagan, when these things happen: when we are seduced by Babylon, and Jerusalem lives<br />like Babylon. The two seek a synthesis which cannot be effected. And both are condemned. Are you<br />a Christian? Are you Christian? Live like a Christian. Water and oil do not mix. They are always<br />distinct. A contradictory society that professes Christianity but lives like a pagan shall end.” (2)<br />Not only is Francis indulging in hate speech against non-Christians, it seems attacking pagans has<br />become an annual feature for the man in the funny robe. In 2016 in Assisi, Italy, he lamented that<br />indifference among Christians was “giving rise to a new and deeply sad paganism”. (3)<br />In November 2014, in his daily homily for mass at the Vatican, the pope had urged the faithful against<br />leading a “pagan life” for pagans are “enemies of the cross”. (4)</div>
<div>
<br /><div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>What’s eating the Pope?</u></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<br />Why is the pope so obsessed with paganism that blasting this group has become an annual prChristmas diatribe? The New Advent Catholic encyclopaedia (5) defines paganism: “Paganism, in the broadest sense includes all religions other than the true one revealed by God, and, in a narrower<br />sense, all except Christianity, Judaism and Mohammedanism. The term is also used as the<br />equivalent of polytheism….The word is derived from the Latin pagus, whence pagani (i.e. those who<br />live in the country), a name given to the country folk who remained heathen after the cities had<br />become Christian.”<br />You get the picture: the reason Francis has been so aggressively vocal about paganism is that<br />Christians are alarmed at its comeback. The church has been fighting paganism – or more correctly,<br />committing genocide of pagans – since the time of Christ, but what is new is its “aggressive<br />resurgence” and its “seduction of so many Christians”. (6)<br />After centuries of decline and decimation, natural religions are making a comeback in a major way<br />worldwide. After nearly two millennia of blind adherence to so-called monotheism, which divided the world into “believers” and “heathens”, increasing numbers of people across the world, especially in the West, are returning to their roots – the ancient pagan religions based primarily on piety towards<br />divinity and traditional authorities.<br />To be sure, the presence of more than a billion Hindus who have preserved their ancient dharma –<br />despite 1,400 years of foreign invasions, alien rule and barbaric treatment – is living proof of the<br />resilience of natural religions. While it was the bravery and indefatigable spirit of Hindu warriors that<br />saved India from going down like Persia, Greece, Rome, Egypt and Mesopotamia, in other parts of<br />the world paganism survived only as fragments or as a memory. And yet paganism is rising phoenixlike from the ashes of inquisition, forcible conversion and genocide.</div>
<div>
<br /><div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>What’s brewing out West?</u></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<br />There is an irresistible surge of paganism worldwide, which has found expression in movies like<br />Avatar, Thor and the Harry Potter series. The success of such movies worldwide suggests a deep<br />desire among people there for a more spiritually satisfying life with the added bonus of a richer<br />pantheism. When you compare the diverse, beautiful and fun loving gods (and goddesses) of pagan<br />religions with the morbid image of a bleeding corpse nailed to a cross, it isn’t hard to see why rational<br />people are deserting Christianity for paganism.<br />Many American “are no longer seeking solace for their souls in the arms of Christianity… today’s<br />most popular forms of spirituality are those associated with the occult, neopaganism and witchcraft”<br />(7).<br />In the last several decades, Wicca and neopaganism have gained surprising influence in nominally<br />“Christian” churches, where one might not normally expect to find workshops on astrology, tarot card<br />reading, channelling and goddess worship. “Some witches and neopagans are now senior pastors of<br />large denominational churches. It is an event unprecedented in the history of Christendom.” (8).<br />Wicca and neopaganism are also surging in popularity on some college campuses, even those<br />associated with “Christian” denominations. One professor, a self-proclaimed lesbian feminist witch,<br />“is spearheading a campaign to turn Christianity into nothing less than a neopagan, goddessworshipping religion”. (9)<br />Noted Jewish author Don Feder writes in ‘A Jewish Conservative Looks at Pagan America’ that the<br />United States is no longer a Christian nation. “Ours is increasingly polytheistic,” he says. (10)<br />Feder’s observation is backed by facts. In the US, there is a burgeoning interest in Druidry, Hinduism,<br />Buddhism, Wicca, Kabbala and Tantra among others. The high profile conversion of actor Julia<br />Roberts to Hinduism apart, there is huge interest in Eastern dharma. This move to pagan – or<br />dharmic beliefs if you will – is aided by the decline of Christianity.<br />According to the 2009 American Religious Identification Survey, (11) the percentage of self-identified Christians fell 10 percentage points since 1990, from 86 to 76 per cent.<br />A more recent survey titled America’s Changing Religious Identity (2017), by the Public Religion<br />Research Institute (12) says there are 20 states in which no religious group comprises a greater<br />share of residents than the religiously unaffiliated. These states tend to be more concentrated in the<br />western US, although they include a couple of New England states as well. “More than four in ten (41per cent) residents of Vermont and approximately one-third of Americans in Oregon (36 per cent),<br />Washington (35 per cent), Hawaii (34 per cent), Colorado (33 per cent) and New Hampshire (33 per<br />cent) are religiously unaffiliated.”<br />This drift away from Christianity is causing a dramatic transformation in the way Americans perceive<br />the world. For instance, the proportion of Americans who think religion “can answer all or most of<br />today’s problems” is now at a historic low of 48 percent. (11) More than a fourth of Americans do not<br />expect a religious funeral at their death, indicating that they dismiss monotheism’s zero-sum offer of<br />heaven or hell.</div>
<div>
<br /><div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Old heroes in the New World</u></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<br />Pagan icons and heroes continue to inspire modern nations in the Americas. Take Hatuey, one of the<br />most important people in Cuban history. When the murderous Christian fanatics from Spain landed<br />on the island, killing the peaceful Caobanans indiscriminately, this pagan chief rallied his people with<br />the words: “They tell us, these tyrants, that they adore a God of peace and equality, and yet they<br />usurp our land and make us their slaves. They speak to us of an immortal soul and of their eternal<br />rewards and punishments, and yet they rob our belongings, seduce our women, violate our<br />daughters.”<br />Hatuey conducted a brilliant guerrilla war from the hills and forests of Cuba, creating terror among the Spanish but was betrayed by a traitor, no doubt a converted Christian. He was captured in February 1512 and burned alive at the stake.<br />The story that every Cuban child learns is that before Hatuey was burned, a priest asked him if he<br />would accept Jesus and go to heaven. Spanish historian Bartolomé Las Casas wrote of the reaction<br />of the chief: Hatuey, thinking a little, asked the religious man if Spaniards went to heaven. The<br />religious man answered yes… The chief then said without further thought that he did not want to go<br />there but to hell where he would not see such cruel people. (13)</div>
<div>
<br /><div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Europe looks back</u></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<br />Across the Atlantic, Europe is a virtual graveyard of abandoned churches. “Christianity as a default,<br />as a norm, is gone, and probably gone for good – or at least for the next 100 years,” says Stephen<br />Bullivant, a professor of theology and the sociology of religion at St Mary’s University in London. (14)<br />The continent’s march towards a post-Christian society has been starkly illustrated by research<br />showing a majority of young people in a dozen countries do not follow a religion. The European<br />Social Survey 2014-16 found the Czech Republic is the least religious country in Europe, with 91 per<br />cent of that age group saying they have no religious affiliation. Between 70 per cent and 80 per cent<br />of young adults in Estonia, Sweden and the Netherlands also categorise themselves as nonreligious.<br />In predominantly Catholic Italy, over 60 per cent of Italians have stopped attending confession.<br />In the UK, a British Unitarian vicar moonlights in his spare time as a Druid, and celebrates ancient<br />pagan festivals. Websites across the country advertise a full calendar of witchcraft festivals in<br />England, Scotland and Wales, as the pagan revival spreads across Britain.<br />In the 1950’s Britain repealed archaic laws against witchcraft. “Paganism found an ally in the<br />ecological and feminist movements of the 1960s,” says the BBC. Pagan philosophies appealed to<br />many eco-activists, who also saw Nature as sacred and recognised the Great Goddess as Mother<br />Nature. The image of the witch was taken up by feminists as a role-model of the independent<br />powerful woman, and the single Great Goddess as the archetype of women’s inner strength and<br />dignity.”<br />Every year, thousands of people – pagans, druids and, well, people who like to party all night long –<br />flock to Stonehenge to celebrate mid-June’s summer solstice. By the time the winter solstice swings<br />round on 21 December, the short daylight hours and dismal weather mean significantly fewer people<br /> tend to brave the elements to stand by some giant stones in Wiltshire – or at other places of Druidic<br />interest. Most who do brave the winter solstice are, just like King Arthur, Druids. (15)<br />Across the continent, young European pagans are reclaiming tribal identities. There is a huge revival<br />of native interest in Norse, Celtic, Prussian and other ancient traditions. The Prusi, an indigenous<br />people of former Prussia, thought to be extinct since the Crusades, are among those making a<br />determined comeback.<br />In 1982 the Prusi discovered the ruins of Truso, a Prussian village described in the Wulfstam’s<br />chronicle 1100 years ago. The village is undergoing reconstruction by the descendants of the Prusi,<br />seeking to recover their heritage. This indigenous cultural renaissance is taking root as far afield as<br />Russia, where Prusi descendants in the Kaliningrad region of Russia are also working hard to<br />recover their pagan Prusi heritage and identity.<br />The lesson to be learned from the Prusi is that even when native title is dead and gone, colonialism<br />and Christian conversion can never completely extinguish indigenousness in the hearts of the<br />people.</div>
<div>
<br /><div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Reasons for revival</u></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<br />There are several reasons for the rapidly growing movement that seeks to rediscover dharma. The<br />most important reason is the moral and intellectual bankruptcy of organised, congregational religion.<br />The mainstream faiths are no longer popular destinations for those seeking spiritual fulfilment.<br />Alienated people, feeling disconnected from modern society, are turning to neopaganism to get in<br />tune with the spirit of the universe.<br />Another key reason is that paganism – or dharma – does not seek to harvest souls for the sake of<br />numbers. Rational people cannot for a second believe that blind acceptance of an all-forgiving<br />sentient being hiding somewhere out there in space will guarantee eternal heaven. In fact, they are<br />more likely to be repelled by Christianity’s “jealous god” who loves “punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a<br />thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments”. (16)<br />And not content with being jealous, he goes on to incite his followers to commit genocide against<br />innocent people. (17)<br />The fact that Christianity peddles an infantile philosophy was recognised as soon as it was<br />introduced into the rational societies of Rome and Greece. In his critique of the “washing away” of<br />sins, the Phoenician philosopher Porphyry (234–305 CE) said: “It is indeed troubling and confusing to think that a man, once washed of so much pollution and rot, seems all of a sudden to be pure. Is it<br />not a little curious, this wiping away the stains of a lifetime of immorality simply by getting baptized,<br />as easily as a snake sloughs off its old skin? I ask, who wouldn’t prefer a life of corruption if he knew<br />in advance that all would be forgiven him. Such promises encourage those who hear them to sin.”<br />To be sure, unlike the congregational faiths, natural religions will never have organised churches or<br />conversion shock troops. However, there are many pagan organisations worldwide, most catering for<br />specific traditions such as Druidry or Asatru, but a few, such as the Pagan Federation in the UK or<br />the Pan-Pacific Pagan Alliance in Australia. Pagan hospital visitors and prison ministers are a<br />recognised part of modern life, and public pagan ceremonies such as Druid rituals and pagan<br />marriages or funerals take place as a matter of routine.</div>
<div>
<br /><div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Conclusion</u></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<br />In June 363 CE, Roman Emperor Julian was murdered by his Christian bodyguard. One of the most<br />fascinating – and tragic – figures of late antiquity, Julian was the last pagan emperor. During his short<br />rule this philosopher king fought a valiant battle to save the ancient pagan religions of his empire<br />from vicious attacks by a new, aggressively proselytising and intolerant religion. This new creed was<br />Christianity.<br />Julian, firmly anchored in the Hellenistic religion of the ancient Greeks and Romans, was a liberal<br />ruler and patronised all religions, including Christianity. The genial emperor was determined to<br />restore the worship of the gods and the honoured Greek-Roman traditions. He tried to stop the<br />Christian attacks on the Greek pantheon; he tried to reverse the policies directed against the pagan<br />Greeks adopted by early Christian Roman emperors. He even intended rebuilding the sacred temple<br />of the Jews.<br />Julian’s efforts to revive and support the pagan faiths were cut short when he was murdered by his<br />Christian bodyguard during a campaign in Persia. They say, those whom the Gods love, die young;<br />Julian was just 32. With their last patron gone, the pagan religions were doomed. The succeeding<br />Roman emperors banned the worship of the Hellenic gods. Sacrifices to them were forbidden on the<br />penalty of death. Millions of pagans were murdered by Christian goons led by newly converted<br />priests. The Olympic Games, which had been introduced in remote antiquity by the great Greek<br />warrior Hercules, were stopped. The Christians banned Greek studies and philosophy, freezing<br />scientific development in Europe for a thousand years.<br />More than 17 centuries after Julian’s death, paganism is making a comeback in the West. This revival<br />is a natural phenomenon. It is not led by conversions, allurements, threats or trickery. It is a process<br />that is led by rational, free-thinking individuals rather than organisations that believe they are more<br />powerful than national governments.<br />Emperor Julian must be looking back from his Elysian Fields with a sense of contentment.<br />Sources<br />1.

<br />
60% percent of the Cypriots think that another Archbishop would behave otherwise. Why?<br />
<br />
The Archbishop is the spiritual leader of Cyprus, so just feeling embarrassed will not solve any problems.<br />
<br />
Christianity teaches that people shouldn't care about the incident, to let God Yahweh decide. God Yahweh will be happy if those three will go to Church and confess the incident to their personal confessors. The punishment will be prayers and fasting.<br />
<br />
The Archbishop above had threatened the Cypriot State that if the archaeologists would leave his building site at once he would do it himself using a traktor and destroy everything they had there.</div>

In the UK, two advertisements were banned, because the one shows a female beside a pram and the other two careless dads.<br />
Well incompetent dads isn't too patriarchical, because in more patriarchical societies dads can do everything better, even looking after the children, they just are too strict, women have to be kept busy and men have better things to do.<br />
One doesn't know if all these super sensitive people are actually racists, misogynists, homophobic, bigots and they try to humiliate every idea about human rights; that the plan is to make people sick if they hear about human rights.<br />
How about stopping breastfeeding? That gives extra hours to females to hold babies, so they become more competent on the field.<br />
Then because the genders are 64, there should be a 64-day cycle of people of every gender feeding the babies. Some genders shouldn't have advantages over others. <br />
And because some of the 64 genders are not represented as often as others and so they will have have less time for work and leisure, one should give new born babies to Raising Centers until they are old enough to feed themselves. Then they can go to nurseries and schools, live and sleep there.<br />
Robots might be another solution. Forbid human beings feeding babies, so babies won't become mommy-centered.<br />
That happens when people learn to think monotheistically. They will always act and talk stupidly.<br />
Humanity has to go back to the old Ethnic ways. <br />

Zuckerberg and many like him in America, they may call themselves Democrats, Leftists, Libertarians, however their ideal system is a World which looks like the caliphates of the Middle Ages.<br />
There will be different people of a book, along as one can be classified. Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Stalinists, Fascists, Anarchists, Nationalsocialists etc. However no one will be allowed to exist outside a group. One must have a holy book, have an ideal Jerusalem, an ideal Kingdom to come and submit to inspired authorities. One must live by the rules of his community and submit fully to them.<br />
As leading group, the Protestants will provide the general framework.<br />
There will be tensions between the groups, so that the leading group may use it as a pretext to interfere and people will have enemies to fear, so they will be loyal to their leaders and fellows.<br />
No freedom of choise, as everything will be "alternativeless".<br />
No freedom of speech, as every word will hurt somebody's feelings.<br />
There will be freedom of thought, only as long as they won't be expressed in any form.<br />
Zuckerberg's algorithms seem to protect the claims of the groups over the opinion of individuals. If a group-of-a-book is complaining, then the individuals are wrong and must be punished, even if the members of the group swear and the individuals reply with facts and logic.</div>

(Imam bayildi or the imam has fainted is a dish with aubergines)<br />
<br />
Another joke about that cypriot bishop. However he is preaching things which are at least as bad as his thoughts about sexuality.<br />
In another video he says that cypriots are not virgins anymore when they marry and he doesn't mean gay sex.<br />
Everything was okay when the island was under ottoman rule presumably, as he begins accussing the British for the loss of the strict morals. And then he accuses the greek refugees from the north of the island. So the problem is that priests cannot control the lifes of their fold, if the latter have contacts with other people. Each person should stay to his local fold.<br />
During the middle ages there were always stories about the devil disguising as hansome young man or a beautiful young woman, so that the people would be afraid to communicate and rather run away. <br />
The same problem is with children, when they visit grandparents or other relatives. If in the neighbourhood everybody is secular, it is okay as long as they know to whom the child belongs. However religious parents, if in minority, oblige their children to do dirty tricks to cause fights between the children. If in the neighbourhood there is a priest living, then xenophobia is at its best.<br />
One thinks that they preach love and peace, but what they preach is the love and peace of God Yahweh and not of our world and those two have nothing to do with one another as the religion is monotheistic, "mono" meaning alone and not one directly.<br />
The problem for them is that they preach different things, as they do not know much about christianity. Only what the bishop tells them and every know and then there is a new bishop. If people from different neighbourhoods come together and discuss religious things as well, people might notice the differences and inaccuracies.</div>

The title is one of the jokes they were made when a cypriot orthodox bishop, talking on behalf of his God Yahweh, explained the existence of homosexuality.<br />
This bishop however is preaching many other things, like everything pleasurable and satisfying is of Satan. In his example it was about yoga as body exercise and he told a story, which I find very hard to believe, about a handsome young man whom women wouldn't leave alone and the protestant married female trainer of yoga!<br />
However the bishop kept saying that real happiness can be achieved only by praying day and night, fasting and confession under tears and lamentantions. Everything else is of Satan.<br />
Greek philosophy is of Satan, enjoying reading literature is of Satan, chess, crosswords, movies, music, a glass of wine, a good meal, driving, riding a bike, dancing, discussions, hobbies and of course even sex between husband and wife, all of these are of Satan.<br />
Many ignorant people say that one doesn't need to the Church anymore, so there is no problem. They are right that one should avoid the Church anyway one can and never support her for any reason.<br />
The bad news are that the Church has a lot of money. Russia, EU, Greek State give a lot of money for philanthropy, although she doesn't pay for anything. The church people say who is going to have a job, who is going to be voted, who is going to be promoted.<br />
All these people use their position to spread pseudoscience, which is the secularised form of christian teachings. So reading makes people crazy, movies makes people mix reality and fantasy, sport destroys bones and spine, makes fatter, one glass of wine leads to alcoholism, toys with dice or cards lead to gambling, pleasure of sex to pervecities of all kind.<br />
Until 40 years ago, pupils would be punished from the headmaster, if they have been seen watching a movie on saturday afternoon.<br />
These pseudoscientific stuff is now spread as well where pseudo-nonconformists pass their time. Cafeterias, betting shops, bars, stadions and halls. They are also spread as secular wisdom by fashion and lifestyle magazines.<br />
It is obvious that as the majority of professors, judges, politicians and doctors depend on the Church, their knowledge comes always second when they disagree with their confessors and his celestial truth and they always have to succumb.<br />
Doctors recommend midday sleeping, which suits only priests not working people and never sport, just strolling and fasting! <br />

<span><b>There are three different ways to study History</b>. The first involves a cold study of facts without any in-depth analysis, the second way includes some attempts to analyze causes and evaluate results and <b>the third way, which is undoubtedly the hardest one, attempts a very deep understanding of the historical figures. </b>The difficulties that arise in the third way of studying History -opposite to the other two which are limited to a “from above” consideration and, of course, from a safe distance observance of the “dramas of life” of some people who lived in the far past and do not directly affect the reader- is that this particular way requires the reader to take the place of the historical personalities he is reading about. Furthermore, the reader is required to cross-examine himself while wearing the shoes of the historical figures and agree or disagree with the actions taken by them, or with the actions that the pen of the various historians has chosen to depict.<span> </span></span><br /><br /><span>The preciousness of the third way of studying History lies in the fact that each time it leads <b>both the simple reader and the historian to a serious expansion of their perception of the diachronic human nature</b>, eventually leading them as well to some kind of self-knowledge, mainly when the personality that needs to be deeply understood is negatively portrayed by the modern moral dualism.</span><br /><br /><span>Having chosen in my latest book 1 to use the third way of studying History so as to deeply analyze the personalities of the hardest and most serious phase of the French Revolution, in other words, the era of “Terror” (October 1793-July 1794), <b>I was soon faced with the same dilemmas that Maximilien Francois Marie Isidore de Robespierre, Louis Antoine Leon de Saint Just and Georges Auguste Couthon were confronted with</b>, and felt that the rudimental integrity was leading me to defend the indispensability of the much discussed era of “Terror” («La Τerreur»), which, surely very far from the modern sense of the term, Robespierre himself, also known as «The Incorruptible», had defined: «Terror is nothing other than justice, prompt, severe, inflexible; it is therefore an emanation of virtue» 2.</span><br /><br /><span>The reason I’m using the verb “defend” is that because <b>up to this day those specific personalities have been continuously subjected to slanderous remarks by many “from above” and “from a safe distance” historians</b>, although there is no doubt that the French Revolution was led to its peak by those very men and then came to its end when they were overthrown and beheaded in the 9th and the 10th of month Thermidor. This continuous and dense slandering constitutes <b>a phenomenon of pure absurdity and a flagrant attempt to “moralize” History</b> itself by condemning the tragic creators of the so called “Western” democratic world, surprisingly<b> by the very same people who would never think of giving up the benefits and especially the foundational values of this world, like the political liberties, the equality against the law and the institutionalized humanitarianism</b>. The whole thing seems as absurd as if someone would demand to have bloodless births, or as if someone else believed that the houses have always had electricity and running water.</span><br /><br /><span>The truth is that those personalities and especially Robespierre, despite the countless verbal abuses they have also received some supportive remarks from a handful of daring historians such as Ernest Hamel, Claude Mazauric, Albert Mathiez, and others. For the most of these historians, the common point of their admiration is the persistence of the «robespierristes» to materialize the notion of Virtue. In the first paragraph of an older article in the «ΤO ΒΗΜΑ» newspaper, Mr. Gerasimos Vokos, professor of Philosophy at the Department of Political Sciences of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, justifies straight from the shoulder, the Hegelian ascertainment that “we could say” that Robespierre “took Virtue (Arete) seriously” 3. However, this ascertainment brings about the crucial question whether we can take Virtue on any other way than seriously.</span><br /><br /><span>Virtue and especially its public dimension, which in the process of time was defined as “Political Virtue” (so as to describe the triptych <b>Justice-Decency-Responsibility that the ancient Greeks considered as a gift of God Zeus to mankind</b>), is something extremely serious, something that cannot be discounted. In his treatise “De Republica”, Cicero, using Scipio as an example, introduces the idea of the existence of a very special place in the heavens where the dead politically virtuous men reside 4.</span><br /><br /><span>Undoubtedly, Virtue should be considered as a non-negotiable entity for every society that is interested in maintaining some basic but supreme in nature, values. <b>Nevertheless, most of us live in societies that solely focus on evaluating everything according to its economic value, so some self-evident notions, especially moral ones, are unfortunately considered as being “utopic” or “extreme”.</b> Either defined by its ancient meaning and content or solely by its political content that the «robespierristes» gave to it, Virtue normally demands from men a gentle “inflexibility”: “<b>Virtue as ethos, bravery and stable behavior serving freedom,</b> is the antidote against deceit. Defined as such, Virtue does not bear any personal, moralistic or psychological characteristic. In the eyes of Robespierre, Virtue has a deep political and democratic character.” 5</span><br /><br /><span>Surely inflexibility can be viewed today by many “westerners” as a foretaste of fanaticism and one could also argue that certain liegeman forming-circles certainly prefer it to be viewed as such. However, in other levels of culture and human behavior that simply have been defeated by their modern and predominant equivalents, <b>the inflexibility of virtue is not only right but also necessary. </b>Unfortunately, these superior cultural levels have been defeated by their modern and predominant equivalents. The element of inflexibility was an indispensable ingredient of Virtue for everyone who was obliged to materialize in his daily life the “Arete” (“Virtue”) or “Virtus” of the pre-Christian Hellenic and Roman world or other serious codes of ethics like the “Bushido” of the Japanese Samurais. This specific truth had not escaped from the minds of the revolutionaries we mention in this article, especially Saint Just, as we see them quite often making continuous and almost fetishistic references to the institutions and the value system of the Lycurgian Sparta as well as of Rome of the republican era 6.</span><br /><br /><span><b>The admirable inflexibility of the “robespierristes” which has made them and continues to make them so mush hated by their enemies,</b> works in reverse and brings out their wonderful, pure and exemplary traits of their personalities in the eyes of people capable of studying History without the imposed specifications of today that more or less demand flexibility and relativism. Upon reviewing the book of the historian Ruth Scurr “Fatal Purity: Robespierre and the French Revolution”, Hilary Mantel asked and simultaneously answered in the “London Review of Books” concerning the Incorruptible (Robespierre): “<b>Why was his purity fatal? Because it seemed to be absolute. You couldn’t buy him. You couldn’t impress him. You couldn’t frighten him. You couldn’t lay claim to him</b>” 7. <span> </span></span><br /><br /><span>There have been quite <b>a few other personalities who were hated by their enemies because they also viewed inflexibility as an indispensable component of virtue</b>. The republican stoic – in - arms of the <b>1st century BCE Marcus Porcius Cato Uticensis or Cato Minor (94 – 46)</b> who ended up opening his abdomen with his sword so as to avoid being arrested by the Caesar 8, is one example. Another great example is <b>the contemporary of Nero and noted Stoic philosopher Publius Clodius Thrasea Paetus who in the years 66 CE spilled the blood of his veins as a libation to “Iuppiter Liberator”</b>. It is not accidental that in the Jacobin Calendar of Revolution which was adopted by the Convention, “Stoicism” 9 stood among the values celebrated in the “tenth days” (décadis), according to the article VII of the decree that established “the worship of the Supreme Being”; a “Stoicism” surely seen not as a school of Philosophy of the Antiquity but as a strong orientation towards virtue in all the continuous dilemmas of daily life.<span> </span></span><br /><br /><span><b>Opposite to this specific strong orientation, there stood numerous examples of the two kinds of men that provoked the disgust of the “robespierristes”</b> who characterized them as “the enemies of Virtue”: <b>the opportunist traitor</b> and the <b>adroit crook</b>.<span> </span></span><br /><br /><span>The first kind of these “<b>enemies of Virtue</b>”, well incarnated by the shrewd Joseph Fouché a<b>nd Jean Lambert Tallien, initially a Jacobin extremist who was later on transformed into a warm supporter of the monarchic street gang «Jeunesse Dorée» </b>10, has been described by the author in his book when he refers to the “Diachronic Blackguard of History”, in other words “<b>the miserable kind of man who knows well how to quickly strike his flag and replace it with another one</b>, the flag of the eternal political party of the each time majority, following not the stability of an idea or a vision but the proven fluidity of times which the faster they change , the more often cause the striking and the hoisting of the flags of the depraved, the cowards, the arrivistes, the opportunists and the traitors” 11.</span><br /><br /><span><b>The second kind of “the enemies of Virtue”</b>, perfectly incarnated by Philippe François Nazaire Fabre d' Églantine, Marie – Jean Hérault de Séchelles and some others, <b>was defined and described by Robespierre himself who had adopted from Voltaire the term “fripon”</b>, which applies to all of those who steal and cheat artfully, dexterously and above all unscrupulously. For Robespierre, <b>the “fripon” constitutes “the absolute anti-political, apolitical or anti-political creature” </b>12, a rodent that unstoppably eats as much as its belly can endure.<span> </span></span><br /><br /><span>The only thing that Robespierre, whom rightly E. Hamel called “ one of the greatest men that struggled for the common good upon the Earth” 13, can be accused of , <b>was the double “naivety” of himself and all of his close collaborators that misled them to consider the moralization of the whole people feasible by just replacing the countless personality weaknesses with a few political and social virtues and to accept a role - trap that an irresponsible and unprepared for the real Democracy public had imposed on them</b>, the role of the ones that were called to incarnate the Revolution itself so as to die with it. They continuously forced themselves to experience the cold pain of validating necessary executions, hoping that the long term bloodshed would soon end. Nevertheless, they only things they received from the people they struggled for, were defamation, conspiracy, treachery and death. It is extraordinarily tragic the fact that <b>Robespierre himself dreamed of establishing public benefit institutions and abolishing the death penalty as he had confessed to the neoclassical “painter of the Revolution” Jacques – Louis David, a few days before the 9th of Thermidor</b> 14.</span><br /><br /><span>I ought to admit that from of all of Robespierre’s collaborators, I was mostly impressed and puzzled by the personality of Philippe Francois Joseph Lebas (1765 – 1794). In the 9th of Thermidor he volunteered to be arrested with his other comrades, setting as the only precondition to say goodbye to his newly born son and his wife (who, until the time of her death, refused to condemn the “robespierristes” whose portraits decorated the walls of her home) and he finally shot himself just before he was re-arrested in the Town Hall of Paris. <span> </span></span><br /><br /><span><b>Regarding the “era of Terror”</b>, my own conclusion is that it constituted <b>one of the very rare periods of History where the ancient Greek cosmic notion of Anagke (Necessity) appears to haunt the human world</b> and, in that specific case, to demand full inflexibility when it comes to the practice of moral duties. An approach of such a period of History can be proven legitimate only if it does take into account this very notion of Anagke, and of course it is rather unfair, if not indecorous, <b>to “wash our hands” by solely observing the facts “from above” and from a safe distance as if we were some kind of deity that resides out of the dimensions where the mortals live and act.</b></span><br /><br /><span>Within the framework of the above stated conclusion, everyone who insists on using the third way of studying the History of the “Terror Era” and additionally has the common dosage of sincerity, is led via a narrow one-way path to admit to himself that if he had been born in the 6th of May 1758 in Arras or in the 25th of August 1767 in Decize of Nivernais 15 <b>and had truly “taken virtue seriously”</b>, he would have ended up in the scaffold of Place de la Révolution and from there to the huge lime pit in the Errancis graveyard. A huge lime pit that simply amplified the illusion of the traitors and the “fripons” that the bodily demise of their victims would let absolutely nothing stir up the deep darkness of their guilty conscience.<span> </span></span></blockquote>

Patriarchs, archbishops, bishops and the clergy act as spoiled children, because they believe they were appointed by God Yahweh, who has full power over his 'creation'.<br />
Greek 'elites' have the same manners.<br />
YSEE (Supreme Court of Ethnic Hellenes) says that by non-theocratic societies people are honoured with doctorates, when they have contributed to society and humanity. The ceremony is public and the decision is unanimous.<br />
The rector had tried to nominate the bishop of Thessaloniki in 2017, but the deans of the university and greek society opposed that nomination, so he retreated. However now that he is term is drawing to an end, he -the man at the right of the bishop- decided to nominate the bishop, no matter what everybody else thought about it.<br />
YSEE doesn't care about the bishop's antihellenic, bigoted, racist and unscientific theories. One of them is that there are no other planets, than the earth.<br />
The problem is the rector, who did this apparently because he wanted to please God Yahweh.<br />
Personally I would like to know who his confessor is. What happens during the confession stays in the confession, however there always cases where the priests take advantage of the situation.<br />
YSEE says that the nomination degrades education to something lesser than the teaching of the christian church.<br />
YSEE asks that a university called 'Aristotelian' has to have Aristotle in its logotype and not a saint 'Demetrius'.<br />

Ούτε δημοκρατική ούτε μη θεοκρατική λειτουργία καταδεικνύει η απόφαση του απερχόμενου πρυτάνεως του Αριστοτελείου Πανεπιστημίου Θεσσαλονίκης κ. Μήτκα, να προχωρήσει στην «εν κρυπτώ» αναγόρευση του μητροπολίτη Άνθιμου, σε επίτιμο διδάκτορα ΑΠΘ. Και αυτό διότι η «αναγόρευση» πραγματοποιήθηκε, χωρίς προηγουμένως ο πρύτανις να ενημερώσει ως όφειλε την πανεπιστημιακή κοινότητα. Η αυθαίρετη απόφαση του πρυτάνεως, προκάλεσε πλήθος αντιδράσεων, όπως ακριβώς έγινε και τον Νοέμβριο του 2017, όταν είχε επιχειρηθεί και πάλι η αναγόρευση, αλλά τελικά ματαιώθηκε λόγω των αντιδράσεων που πυροδότησε στην πανεπιστημιακή κοινότητα, αλλά και στην ευρύτερη κοινωνία.<br />Το Ύπατο Συμβούλιο των Ελλήνων Εθνικών (ΥΣΕΕ), ο φορέας της Ελληνικής Εθνικής Θρησκείας, αποδοκιμάζει έντονα την προκλητική απόφαση του πρυτάνεως του ΑΠΘ. Η αποδοκιμασία έχει ως αποκλειστικό αποδέκτη, τον πρύτανι του μεγαλυτέρου πανεπιστημίου της χώρας, ο οποίος φαίνεται ότι χρησιμοποιεί την θέση του, όχι προς όφελος της κοινωνίας και της πανεπιστημιακής κοινότητας, αλλά προσδοκώντας καλή μεταχείριση στο επέκεινα. Ωστόσο μία εξομολόγηση στον πνευματικό του θα αρκούσε όπως δογματίζει η θρησκεία του, αυτός όμως επέλεξε να γελοιοποιήσει το ίδρυμα στο οποίο πρυτανεύει.</div>

Μας αφήνει παντελώς αδιάφορους το γεγονός ότι ο ευρισκόμενος σε προκεχωρημένη κρίση μεγαλείου μητροπολίτης, είναι γνωστός για τις ρατσιστικές, ανθελληνικές, μισαλλόδοξες και αντιεπιστημονικές θέσεις του και άρα όχι απλώς ακατάλληλος για την τιμητική αυτή διάκριση, αλλά και επικίνδυνος, καθώς εκπροσωπεί αυτός και η θρησκεία του τον υποβιβασμό της Παιδείας σε τάχα προπαρασκευή της βασιλείας του γιαχωβά. Μάλιστα δε, σχετικά πρόσφατα, ο «επίτιμος διδάκτωρ» γνωστοποίησε στο ποίμνιό του, ότι «δεν υπάρχουν πλανήτες» στο ηλιακό σύστημα. Τον μητροπολίτη τον αφήνουμε στην κρίση κάθε σκεπτόμενου πολίτη.

The Greek Left has been proven even worse than conservatives, liberals, social-liberals and socialdemocrats. More incompetence, more arrogance, more greed, more lust for power, more lies, than everybody before them.<br />
After WWII it was safer to recruit journalists and intellectual from the communist party, as the two other options were either religious imperialists or liberals. However there cannot be liberalism without an economy that hasn't changed since the Middle Ages. So people of the left spectrum were recruited and they had to follow the guidance of the conservative elite. Even today, journalists with most neoliberal or reactionary worldview, were as students members of communist groups.<br />
One had the impression that they were well educated, but were a bit too idealistic for the current problems. Especially a party call Communist Party of Greece Interior. However because they didn't become money from the USSR, they had to appeal to idealists, as they couldn't offer jobs in the public sector or in the party so they were always a marginal party.<br />
After the bankruptcy of 2010, the center-left party lost many votes to the parties of the left. The old communist party of the interior had split to two parties the eurocommunists and the revisionaries sometimes in the eighties and they kept uniting and separating with other parties of the left. Especially when the new party was called Coalition of the Left. At first a more moderate left party was voted, but as it took part at a government coalition together with the conservatives and the social democrats of PASOK, it lost it's supporters. The old centre-left party PASOK was shrinking, loosing votes to the new centrum parties and the Coalition of the Left.<br />
Many thought one should give the Coalition of the Left a chance as people naively thought the left theorists are educated, cultivated, motivated, honest and hard-working idealists.<br />
The prime minister was proved to be an illiterate. As a young pupil he and his girlfriend chose to follow the profession of a communist. He was a member of the youth of the Communist Party (of abroad), but he didn't follow its retreat from the Left coalition sometimes in the nighties. No USSR, too rigid way of forming speeches, so he remained in Coalition of the Left. Later the leader of the Left, who was without any charisma wanted to use this young lad as the frontman and his childish manners could bring in votes and due to his incompetence, he would have to have him as his mentor. However as it always happens the puppet rebelled against his mentor and the mentor left the party. The puppet could have as many mentors as he wished. He wasn't doing anything valuable anyway.<br />
This person was elected prime minister. Α bunch of illiterate people who never did anything but picking up expressions of the marxist left, who actually believed in the world revolution of the proletariate became ministers.<br />
So they did what they have been taught. They favoured people who live a nomadic or ghetto life and they did what they could to harm the honest, hard working people, either blue-collar or white-collar workers. As real marxists they had no problem with rich people as long as these rich people traded with the state, as long as they acted as presidents of state enterprises.<br />
Of course marxist call everybody with an opinion a fascist, but in order to become a government, they didn't have a problem to form a coalition with a party of the extreme right. The steak was called a fish and the party was placed in the centre.<br />
The tried to control or found newspapers, radio stations and tv channels to serve their propaganda. That the state channel was used as such wasn't enough. Being useless, lazy, stupid and incompetent they failed, so they had to do many favours for the greek parasitic plutocrats.<br />
One successful shipowner, although working abroad, has family ties with the conservative party and owns the fooball club of Olympiacos Peiraieus. This was enough for the party to take sides against Olympiacos as a whole, although the basketball club is owned by other people and the other sports aren't permitted to have owners. They try to accuse him of everything possible, drug dealing or setting up criminal structures. However when real problems arouse at basketball, the government didn't do anything, because they didn't understand the problem. Well that might be true, because they cannot understand anything, but it seems as if they had asked if the problems were for or against Olympiacos and decided accordingly.<br />
Many times they were saying that they had the government, but they didn't have the power, a thing a democratical party would never say.<br />
They use a countless number of trolls, still know, who comment everywhere, social media, sites and blogs. They phone every radio or tv show to promote their propaganda. Not only for politics, but also for sports and culture. It seems that the majority of the voters, do not really work, although they may appear to be civil servants, journalists, party employees etc. And for their propaganda they should be ashamed. Either they are retarded and their arguments are accordingly, or they think the other people are retarded, then they should be ashamed to try to fool such people.<br />
All in all they proved to be a circus, and every clown either conservative, or centre, or social democrat, is less ridiculous than them. Even if they believe in state economy, they didn't even try to found some state enterprises.<br />

Politicians speak about the moral obligation to "save" people who look like they are literally on a boat ride at the shores of Libya, ambitious spoiled rich kids organise events and happenings about those people, however they do not do the best thing for all sides. <br />
Instead of bringing some people, although millions, here in Europe without any possibility of living a normal life, they should organise a fairtrade system that works successfully. |All fairtrade initiatives from normal people have failed. However that is hard work which needs competence, skills and talent, which politicians, journalists, rich people in Europe do not possess. It is far easier to bring people here and give them some taxpayer's money.<br />
Instead of having pregnant women collecting tea leaves and children cocoa beans, the men should be adequately paid and there should be pressure mechanisms that governments will comply with the requirements set by international treaties.<br />
Instead of destroying Europe's wellfare system, third world countries should start developing theirs. However that doesn't suit the finance markets.</div>

Idiots and fanatics never learn. The CCP has already caused a genocide with the
Great Leap Forward and an Ethnocide with its Cultural Revolution. The CCP admitted everything was a failure, nevertheless, they will try once more.<br />

Communism is political monotheism, like National Socialism or Fascism are. They may pretend to be Atheists, but the Leader is worshipped like a Messiah and they have metaphysical beliefs like the power of the people or the race. Instead of a Kingdom of God they believe in a Kingdom of People or Race. These kingdoms are the true homelands of the monotheists, not the provisional fatherlands of today. Ignorants and liars may deny it, but every monotheist will admit it once in a while.<br />
<br />
The West is making a fuss about Christians in China and Muslims, but doesn't care about Heathens as the enemies of the Classical Civilisation prevail in the last century, especially in the USA, and Heathes were always called "Hellenes" by the Christians.<br />

However, China’s indigenous folk religions are too persecuted and suppressed.<br />Folk temples, scattered across the country, sometimes a few in a relatively small village, were regarded as part of the “Four Olds” – old customs, culture, habits, and ideas – during the Cultural Revolution and were shut down or destroyed. Under the rule of President Xi Jinping, the folk temples suffer calamity once again.<br />32 temples forcibly demolished within 20 days<br />Nainai Temple is located on Hou Mountain in Yi county, under the jurisdiction of Baoding city, in the northern province of Hebei, about 120 kilometers from Beijing. Because of the temple’s popularity and reputation, it had numerous believers and was known as the “First Taoist Ritual Area of North China.” According to Xu Teng, a Ph.D. student at Tsinghua University’s School of Architecture, Nainai Temple was once a very characteristic place for offering sacrifices.<br />Residents from the area reported that, toward the end of last year, the director of Baoding city’s United Front Work Department disguised himself as a pilgrim and visited Hou Mountain to conduct a secret inspection. Soon afterward, the county government issued an order to demolish all the temples in the surrounding area, as well as the nearby buildings that provided meals and accommodations for tourists. Only the main hall of Nainai Temple was spared.<br />Since then, the once famous temple has gradually become deserted. On March 1, the local government held a “mobilization meeting for comprehensive governance work” to deal with the other temples on Hou Mountain. In the short span of 20 days, 32 temples and at least 164 other faith-related buildings were demolished.<br />A villager told Bitter Winter that Baoding city’s United Front Work Department oversaw the temple demolition campaign. “The government doesn’t care whether your building has a permit or a business license. If they paint the character “拆” [chāi, meaning ‘to demolish’] on the wall, then it will be forcibly destroyed. There is nowhere for people to go to reason with the Communist Party,” the villager said angrily.<br />Some propaganda slogans have been hung along the path leading up to Hou Mountain. One of them reads: “Illegal buildings will be demolished.”<br />According to local villagers, the sacrificial and worship activities at Hou Mountain’s Nainai Temple have existed for many years and previously received strong support from the government. The pilgrims who came to burn incense and worship ranged from ordinary people to government officials. Forcibly demolishing these buildings under the pretense of “illegal structures” is just an excuse for the government to combat religious belief, the villagers believe.<br />5,911 Tudi temples demolished in one city<br />In March, in Gaoyou city in the eastern province of Jiangsu, Tudi temples – the type of temples dedicated to the local god of land – that embodied folk traditional beliefs and customs were also subjected to a severe crackdown on the grounds of “illegality.”<br />Within 26 days, 5,911 local Tudi temples were demolished, provoking strong resentment among the people, who referred to it as a sweeping, indiscriminate move.<br />Officials from the Gaoyou Department of Land and Resources stated that all Tudi temples were illegal buildings, occupying large areas of rural arable land and urban public facilities and places. To justify the demolitions, they claimed that some temples were set up spontaneously and have not gone through the relevant procedures in advance.<br />However, according to experts, worshipping at Tudi temples is a long-standing local custom, and has become an essential part of local’s daily lives. The most important element of folk religions is sincere faith; without faith, there would be no culture. If the tradition of worshipping the god of land is interrupted and altered, people will have nowhere to place their faith.<br />Folk temple demolition is expanding<br />In just ten days, from April 10 to 20, the government of Xianju county in the eastern province of Zhejiang forcibly demolished 21 temples within its jurisdiction. According to a Buddhist Association staff member who requested anonymity, this forced demolition campaign was a “rectification” task uniformly issued by the government.<br />Between May 12 and 14, the local government sealed off 18 temples in 14 villages under the jurisdiction of Guangwu town, in Xingyang county-level city, in the central province of Henan. The next step is likely to be demolition.</blockquote>

1968 is a year where the young people revolted against the christian establishment of the West. That was good because christianity has nothing to offer to broad masses or elites. Christianity was formed by the poor and the weak for the poor and weak. Christianity became the state religion of the Roman Empire in order to unite the most antisocial, unsocial and asocial people of the empire, who survived the three pandemics of 160,180 and 250 CE and became if not the majority, a significant role player.<br />
Since then the world cannot get rid of that religion or world view, because it is practical for the vicious elites and the ignorant majority.<br />
The problem is that that movement was probably initiated by the communists and if not, they managed to lead it. However communism was never interested to have a better society for the West, but to undermine it, in order to cause a revolution which would solve all problems as they thought had happened in the USSR.<br />
These people of the 1968 maintained their weird ideas and passed it down to their children. Actually because they didn't know anything, they did the exact opposite of what their parents did to them. They left their children without discipline or virtues, they didn't educate them, they just told them to study arts and learn how to express their ignorance with scholar definitions.<br />
Since then newspapers and magazines are full of articles of people who have learned to talk or to write without saying anything! Of hysterical people who don't know anything, but they think they know everything, who think they are genius, but are dumb!<br />
And that because the revolutioners had no adequate theoretical background, as marxism isn't anything that can be taken seriously!</div>

Nothing!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Are humans serious? They want to stop climate change? Then let them pray to the Sun to stop sending more heat to the universe.<br />
Well the pseudo-elites with heaven and hell in their minds, and pure evil against pure good, probably think it is a good idea to keep the world together against an imaginary threat. They may think it is also a good idea to let the industry be destroyed, to stop producing goods, to stop doing research and say that this has to be done in order to maintain life upon the earth and not due to the total incompetence of the elites. It is a good trick to enforce feudality upon humanity again, where 2% will have many goods and will keep eating veal and pork and drink milk whatever they want and the rest will have to grass literally.<br />
Climate has been changing and will be changing as long as earth exists, has happened without humans upon the earth and will be happening either with humanity upon her or not.<br />
Maybe it is the right moment for the nuclear lobby to bring nuclear energy back. After Fukushima Merkel for example, the one who became a doctorate for doing always the opposite of what she first intended, after having prolongued the contracts of nuclear energy plants, she decided to phaseout from nuclear energy. Well Germany will have to pay a lot of insurance money, unless they go back to nuclear energy. This could be an example.<br />
The activists either knowing it or not will have solutions which will be in the end the equivalent of the whole humanity to go back to the jungle and because this is impossible and ridiculous, one will have to say yes to nuclear energy!<br />

After the vegetarian and vegan hooligans, there are the specialised ones, who have appeared lately. The ones have a special problem with milk, the other with octopodes, the issue with fish has risen up again, cows being methan mines etc.<br />
First of all these articles and programs begin with the appeal to the authority of some scientists. Well scientists aren't known for their activism against the establishment. There are always exceptions, but that's the case with scientists as well; very few exceptions.<br />
What makes a scientist an authority for ethical or philosophical issues? Nothing! They may have their own opinion like scholars or artists or athletes or business managers or any other workaholic, but nothing more.<br />
Today scientists have to do research at a topic which is funded, they can't do anything without a lot of money and outside a team. So actually their education is that of a 16 year old, because later they become specialised. The same is with the other elites, however scientists and scholars do the best out of their ten years of general education. Well so called education, actually the gulping of facts. Politicians do their best to obstruct education from schools.<br />
Today's world doesn't want education, but the production of phoney legal money. That is money which doesn't involve direct exchange of goods or services.<br />
However scientints have the same problem with all those pseudo-elites and that is they think they are educated. Probably out of bigotry, they think since they had so much luck in their lifes, they must be the beloved children of the extra-universal God. So they know everything out of enlightenment.<br />
Which is actually the moral authority in the world of today? Marxism? No! Marxism is the only choise in humanistic studies but it is interested only in economy. Abrahamism is!<br />
People may have lost their faith to the Bible, but they feel somebody must be Christ, so the pseudo-elites have taken up the role! And they dream of a world where the lamb will chew stones beside the wolf, the zebra next to the lion and so forth.<br />
Or are there any pious people who find it difficult to keep their religious diet, while other people eat forbidden food?<br />
If everybody is eating pork, veal, shellfish, it is difficult to be part of the western society and abstain from these things. Actually that was what these diets were forced upon the faithful. To keep them separated from the numerous neighbours.<br />

Newspapers are complaining about the lack of money and urge for payment in order to keep providing articles.<br />
In the age of internet one can read the news releases of the institutions and analyse them oneself.<br />
Mass media are usually owned by rich people, not necessarily well educated and usually with no qualities except luck. Like the clergy and the noble before the French Revolution, they only care about their income and their status. Like the clergy and nobility before them, they are unable to lead the society as they cannot even guarantee a constant flow of goods and services. They don't value education high enough, they urge the politicians not to change the bad educational system. In order to gain money they invented financial money where worthless money is produced and instead of investing in research for goods production in the third world in order to create a flow of goods and so a flow of cash, they want to bring that money in the goods and services market via pensions and insurances. So they have the mass media to make sure no politician stands in their way.<br />
Marxism has failed repeatedly so that's why it is presented as the only opposition to this modern feudalism. If all art faculties have a marxist staffing, all alternative world views do not have a chance. Not only parties of the left, but populists who are placed at the right spectrum have the same national-bolshevistic ideas about economy; and national can be anything from USA or Russia, Europe, a current state or a smaller ethnic group. Everytime it is expected there will be problems with all those bad policies, the mass media actually advertise positively and negatively some personalities and parties of the above type.<br />
Even if we believe that there are independant channels or newspapers, their journalists have the same marxistic and freudian ideas, otherwise they wouldn't have attained their degrees. One sees always the same article, of people who dream to make the world the garden of Eden. They want to bring seven buillion people in Europe -and not to the US- and they should have full pension, houses, cars, vacation everything. Everybody should stop producing goods or using technology as it is lethal for the environment, however everything should be available for everybody. No uses of natural resources, nothing synthetic, however everything should be available. If one asks them how this is all possible, they become either a fit of rage or a fit of riduculousness; or simply they will say that they will make it, they believe it.<br />
If political parties are afraid of adolescent youtubers, it shows that they know or estimate their subjects as very easily influenced and they never did anything about it. Now they want to have some rules, that means censorship. They do not want independant citizens who can think for themselves, but subjects whose feelings can be easily manipulated.<br />

A case study of Sweden!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
First do not let them fool us, with party names such as "Social Democrats" or "Greens" or whatever. Throughout Europe they have always worked together and they all had the same policies. German Greens dared the Christian Democrats to form a coalition, but the latter were too afraid of the consequences, because their voters do not get that it is same policies, different hairstyle.<br />
All these politicians, journalists, pseudo-intellectuals and professors come from conservative villages, whether far from big cities or next to them makes no difference, where they are being slapped in the face throughout their childhood and are constantly abused verbally, they are being treated like garbage. They deny the fact, but if they are angry at a non-western they say that they have been spoilt, that they haven't been slapped as children and they were treated like princes. This is not true, but that shows how biggots raise the children, no matter what ideology they pretend to have.<br />
Such people have enormous inferiority complex and are advanced by people with the same upbringing and problems. They get the better marks in school and university, they get the highly paid jobs without doing anything of value.<br />
As Marxism is the only school of thought allowed in Western Europe, all these people combine christian and marxian millennialism and see themselves as prophets and apostles! They hate beauty, intelligence, knowledge, logic, talent, virtues everything european civilisations stood for.<br />
They say the fight nationalism, but they never say which as one cannot evade this characterisation, as there are <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_of_nationalism">many types of nationalism</a>.<br />In Sweden a clown wants to ban runes, which it seems either he thinks they are magic and cause people to become Nazis or he has a problem with the European pre-Christian era.<br />Nazis were called the Third Reich, the First being the Holy Empire at first and then the Holy Roman Empire next and finally the Holy Roman Empire of the Deutsch Nation; "Heiliges Römisches Reich Deutscher Nation" and not "Germanischer Nation". The Second Reich was that of the Prussians. All three of them were Christian nations. Hitler's main concern was the division between Catholics and Protestants and he tried to unify them with Christian Positivism.<br />Nazis dreamt of thousand year old reich as well, which is not an ethnic way of thinking. Heathens know that there is union and there is division, there is progress and decline, birth and death throughout the eternity. They do not see the world as evil and they do not try to fabricate a "better" type of human being, society and world.<br />
The true target, their true foe is the Asatru community, as well as all ethnic religions! Heathenism means plurality, whereas monotheists dream of one ruler on earth, as there is, they think, one ruler in the sky and everybody has to be and look like the monotheistic ruler. With all other monotheists they can agree to an ideal monotheistic world, but not with heathens.</div>

Only the very rich of course!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
It is ridiculous when one sees what politicians expect from their subjects and what from themselves. The question is if they all live in an ivory-tower, or they have hidden agendas.<br />
In Germany a professor wrote a book about the pseudoelites saying that only 1 out of 5 are really efficient, the half is as if they didn't work and the rest 3 out of 10 do not work at all.<br />
However they all have good notes, stages in prestigious companies abroad and whatever one needs to have an excellent CV and therefore a high salary job.<br />
The economy of Europe is actually shrinking no matter what tricks they use to show otherwise. Worthless finance companies hire creative people for writing computer codes which sell and buy in microseconds bonds, shares, currencies instead of having new ideas for the goods and services market.<br />
Half of Europe's population vegetates whether it has a job, a part-time one or is without.<br />
The state doesn't invest in public education, so the majority has no chance to acquire the necessary competence for the market.<br />
Companies do not seem to care that their clientele is diminishing, their managers are like politicians; as long as they have their bonuses and wages, everything seems all right.<br />
People graduate and are not regarded as qualified, because of an alleged lack of work experience. So it is up to the generosity of each company, if it is willing to employ a non expert.<br />
The opposition to all these seems to be as well silly and incompetent. They promote Marxism, which has utterly failed or they promote cultural primitivism, and funny enough most of them are kids from the upper middle class to the middle upper class and their parents do not seem to bother.<br />
Newly there also other anti-establishment parties recruited by long-time members of the existing establishment parties.<br />
The world is heading to new Dark Ages, where there will be a minuscule minority, which will have everything, some workaholics which will work for that minority and a vast majority of proletarians.<br />

There are people who wish that the world will go back at the time of the Middle Ages, where 3% of the people had everything and 97% nothing.<br />
People working in the media are idiots or have severe psychological problems, but the owners of that media can't be that stupid.<br />
The Marxists wish that this will happen so the 97% percent will revolt and establish a World State of Communism as it was Trotsky's wish.<br />
Rich people do not need common people as consumers anymore. The mouldy bread, the murky water and 2 sqm rat-, bug-, louse- cockroach - infested shelter will be provided by self-pronounced philathrophists, who will be speculating with the shares of other philanthropic establishments as well.<br />

Muslim countries (with a few exceptions) deny women the right of equal inheritance, leading positions, or even to travel without the permission of her husband, but all of them celebrate that two Muslim women became repräsentatives in US-Congress. What does that tell us?<span> </span><br />It is telling us that the empowerment of women is rejected as a danger to the identity and society in Muslim majority countries, but is celebrated as a mean to infiltrate Western societies and as one little v<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">ictory in the Islamist supremacist colonial project.<span> </span><br />Jews had to leave Muslim countries because of persecution, Christians are now leaving Muslim countries because of persecution. The same thing happens to atheists, gays and lesbians. Those who persecuted them come also to the West, build mosques and build the infrastructure of radical Islam in the name of tolerance. They get support from Muslim countries and from Western Politicians, left wing activists and parts of the cilvil society. A help that seculars, gays, lesbians and even oriental Christians seldom get. Where is that leading to?<br />Muslim countries are becoming more and more intolerant, closed monocultural societies. Western Societies are becoming more and more open and diverse. But this diversity has no defence mechanism against the enemies of open society. It has no clear rules and has no boarders.<span> </span><br />The more diverse we become, the more diverse should opinions be in media, but exactly the opposite is happening. We are allowed to celebrate differences, promote hijab and ramadan, but we label every criticism of Islam as islamophobic, bigot and racist. We criticize white right wing rhetorics but tolerate islamist right wing rhetorics.<span> </span><br />Why can't we just be against all kind of intolerant supremacies, no matter where they come from? Why can we celebrate a Muslim woman becoming a congress woman (which is a great thing by the way) but accept that women, Christians, atheists and gays in Muslim countries have no rights? Why do we call Muslim criticism of enlightenment "freedom of speech", but call the criticism of Islam by enlightened people "racist"? Is that not the bigotry of lowered expectations?</span></div>

<div class="tr_bq">
Following assumption is a wrong one and although it worked well for a while, now it is backfiring and it will lead to the destruction of the world economy, unless the production of goods, services and knowledge is valued more and the pseudoelites will perceive that money is just an instrument for the flow of goods and people and information and never the goal.</div>

<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Protestant_Ethic_and_the_Spirit_of_Capitalism#Basic_concepts">Wikipedia:</a><br />
<blockquote>
"Religious devotion, Weber argues, is usually accompanied by a rejection of worldly affairs, including the pursuit of wealth and possessions. To illustrate his theory, Weber quotes the ethical writings of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Franklin">Benjamin Franklin</a>: <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Remember, that time is money. He that can earn ten shillings a day by his labor, and goes abroad, or sits idle, one half of that day, though he spends but sixpence during his diversion or idleness, ought not to reckon that the only expense; he has really spent, or rather thrown away, five shillings besides. [...] Remember, that money is the prolific, generating nature. Money can beget money, and its offspring can beget more, and so on. Five shillings turned is six, turned again is seven and threepence, and so on, till it becomes a hundred pounds. The more there is of it, the more it produces every turning, so that the profits rise quicker and quicker. He that kills a breeding feline taint, destroys all her offspring to the thousandth generation. He that murders a crown, destroys all that it might have produced, even scores of pounds. </blockquote>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
Weber notes that this is not a philosophy of mere greed, but a statement laden with moral language. Indeed, Franklin claims that God revealed the usefulness of virtue to him. The Reformation profoundly affected the view of work, dignifying even the most mundane professions as adding to the common good and thus blessed by God, as much as any "sacred" calling (German: Ruf). A common illustration is that of a cobbler, hunched over his work, who devotes his entire effort to the praise of God." </blockquote>

The problem now is that Finance Markets actually play games instead of doing something usefull. The money gained at such markets have the same value as those below.<br />

However goverments let them flow these worthless money into the real economy. It is like there is a net of monopoly players that can accumulate this paper and than buy a house or a car. For what reason? Did they produce anything worthwhile? What is that that these investors are exchanging? Money exist because if one sells his house he doesn't want to receive a million of eggs or tanks of milk. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is impossible that there is money 50 or 100 times more than the volume needed for the needs of the goods and services markets. Actually if the money of the financial markets would flow in the normal one, that would lead to hyperinflation. </div>

<div lang="en" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Every
newspaper and magazine wrote about it and a week latter everything
was forgotten.</span></div>
<div lang="en" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Everybody
blamed men as a whole, because they cannot take no for an answer. A
female journalist wrote the following in 'The Guardian': “But
ultimately it comes down to men treating women with respect and
regarding them as equals with agency over their bodies. Unfortunately
this sort of sea change can take generations, especially when it is
undermined by the surrounding visual culture.”</span></div>
<div lang="en" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The
Guardian, the Spiegel and other supposed progressive magazines and
newspapers wish for a general reintroduction of the Victorian
fashion. It will take generations, according to them, for men to have
agency over their minds and desires and not act like idiots when they
come across a good-looking woman.</span></div>
<div lang="en" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The
elites of Europe don't like the freedom of choice, so they do what
they can to undermine it. Christianity doesn't like love at first
sight and neither does Marxism, those two being the two promoted
ideologies. Christianity has lost its spirituality, however the
Christian way of thinking is the dominant one and it is not very
different from the Marxist one.</span></div>
<div lang="en" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Lifestyle
magazines are also guilty. Politicians and industrialists due to
their incompetence to understand that they need well – payed work
force, try to boost the economy by promoting mass consumption. Even
if many do not read such magazines, there are enough who do and they
form a common opinion about these matter, wheareas non-readers have
many different and are not sure of them. So as readers are more
convinced, they are convincing others especially if they pretend this
knowledge comes from their own experiences.</span></div>
<div lang="en" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">These
lifestyle magazines promote a lifestyle of tycoons. The idea is that
if everybody tries to become a tycoon, that is good for the economy.
They will try their best to become rich and by that many will become
rich. However many will try the criminal way and that either doesn't
bother them or they think it is not so bad. </span>
</div>
<div lang="en" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">So
especially by conservative families one gives up trying to find a
partner and the young people wait for their mums, not dads, to find a
'nice bride' for each for her sons. Men make less fuss marrying a
woman they don't like, because they think they can cheat easier than
the women. They aren't supposed to be romantic, while women are. Men
have the money so, when they come to it later they can use it to buy
some extramarital sex.</span></div>
<div lang="en" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">So
actually what such kind of idiots do is trying to vindicate women as
though they are responsible for their bad manners and lack of
education. They accuse women for not being princesses that will kiss
them and turn them from frogs to princes. Of course they have to show
how virile they are, the lack of which is a constant accussation, and
this is made so they will marry the proposed bride without
objections.</span></div>
<div lang="en" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I
read somewhere about the groups of idiots hanging around, shouting
nonsence and feeling safe, because of their numbers. They are
shouting to women or couples passing by, about multiple partners. It
is sure that if ever some people would come to the idea to test them
and send bait women, as long as there is adequate protection, and the
bait women would agree to a 'party', these tough guys would get the
shivers. They would become aggressive and moral all of a sudden, in
order to distract from their self-defined lack of virility.</span></div>
<div lang="en" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">In
conservative communities women are not to discuss bed secrets with
people outside their circle. So if the man needs homosexual 'help'
from his best man and the latters best man and his best man as well
in order to impregnate his wife, no one outside will hear about it.</span><br /><br />

Europe has an acute problem with its elites. Their messianic way of thinking makes them think they are the Messiah the world needs to become a garden of Eden. So every little man or woman up there thinks himself cleverer than Nature and does what he can for the coming of the Reign of what he believes in.<br />
Of course there are the corrupt ones, who don't want the Third World to improve and become like Europe, because than there will be no prostitution and criminality in the Third World and so they will not have the advantage of sex tourism.<br />
Immigration is a ventil in favour of the oppressive regimes. By driving the young males out of the country, they have less fear of revolutions.<br />
Parties of the left spectrum want to have legalised immigrants as constant voters, as their policies concerning all other issues have no difference than those of the parties of the non-left spectrum. Of course it is of no interest to the left parties that the immigrants have a fair chance of progress, otherwise they will become themselves voters of the liberals or conservatives.<br />
Rich elites already live secluded in their super luxurious ghettos and students form their own ghettos where they loose their contact to reality.<br />
Judges prooved themselves petty-minded and formalists, once again!<br />
<br />
PS Europe must protect the values of Rennaissance and Enlightment and Classical Greece, because there are always forces who want to drive us back to the Middle Ages. <br />

<br />
Ioannis Melissanidis was honoured by the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople in 2014 with the title "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kouropalates">Curopalate</a>", although his way of making business was known to everybody. AEK fans and journalists nicknamed him "The Tiger", so they are proud of his behaviour, like threating journalists, referees and everybody who seems to get in his way.<br />
Maybe it would help if a non Greek citizen was elected as <a href="http://www.uefa.com/insideuefa/about-uefa/administration/general-secretary/index.html">UEFA General Secretary</a>. Greece has many laws, one contradicting the other, and it is up to the court to decide which of the laws are applicable to each case. The Greek government of leftist Syriza and conservative ANEL, have favored openly Melissanidis and Savvidis to resolve the problems of football, as if football was no part of the modern Greek-byzantine society. A society that is controlled in every way by the Eastern Christian Church Dogma and Church. The Chruch controls the politicians, the politicians the rich, the rich the press, the press the rest. Of course, they are all incompetent so they will be dependant.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<a href="http://www.insideworldfootball.com/2018/06/11/uefa-uefa-fifa-impotent-aeks-melissanidis-heaps-shame-greek-football/">UEFA and FIFA impotent as AEK’s Melissanidis heaps further shame on Greek football</a><br /><br />June 11 – UEFA and FIFA’s failure to get any kind of control or governance over Greek football is reaching unprecedented levels even by their own woeful standards. Floundering in a situation they seem incapable of (or unwilling to) resolve, the integrity of the game in Greece was hammered with news that champion club AEK’s owner Melissanidis is under investigation for accounting fraud. <br />Greek football, long plagued by betting related match-fixing was shaken to its core at the end of the season when PAOK owner Ivan Savvidis stormed on to the field of play bearing a sidearm to remonstrate with and threaten the referee over decisions he felt were not going his team’s way against AEK.<br /><br />Savvidis was eventually banned for just three years and PAOK was docked three (meaningless)s points. Most believe the ban is meaningless and he is still running the club.<br /><br />Melissanidis’ issues have far greater repercussions for him personally as they involve international investigations with the US Department of Justice having been informed of the fraud allegations and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and FBI reportedly both investigating.<br /><br />The fraud concerns the sale of Melissanidis stake in the Aegean Petroleum company in August 2016 for $100 million. Prior to the sale it was stated there were $200 million of receivables recorded in Aegean’s balance sheet from four companies.<br /><br />The current board of Aegean says there was approximately $172 million as of December 31, 2016 and $85 million as of December 31, 2015 due from these four counterparties but there was no business that could account for these sums and that they had been manufactured to inflate the value of the company and hence boost the value of Melissanidis’ shares.<br /><br />The current board has applied to have the $200 million written off resulting in losses of up to 50% for shareholders.<br /><br />If found guilty of defrauding investors in the US Melissanidis faces significant jail time.<br /><br />In a football context, in 2016 Melissanidis took the moral high ground in Greece with accusations of manipulation of matches and acts of violence against officials – all dismissed by Greece’s courts. It now appears this could have been a smokescreen to build his own reputation as an honest actor and an individual of high integrity, while covering up a series of dubious deals while he sold his stake in Aegean. Greek football appears to have been a useful vehicle in this regard and the Greek justice system an easily manipulable tool.<br /><br />That UEFA and FIFA have repeatedly failed to act in Greece – they can only clean up football but their attempts have been perfunctory – shames them as much as it does the Greek authorities.<br /><br />A look at Melissanidis history shows he has never been far from controversy and in a season of rampant match-fixing, and threatening behaviour by armed club owners, he looks to be of the profile that fits right in – not least within UEFA and FIFA circles.<br /><br />Melissanidis received his first bribery conviction for paying off two players in an amateur football league in the 1980s, according to his profile on Wikipedia.<br /><br />Incredibly he became an owner in betting company OPAP, one of Europe’s largest gaming companies, in 2013, with seemingly no questions asked about any potential conflict. OPAP became €2.1 million sponsors of AEK as well as a number of other clubs who subsequently pulled out of their contracts complaining of unfair competition due to Melissanidis’ managerial involvement in both the club and the betting firm.<br /><br />But perhaps the darkest side of Melissanidis and the way he is prepared to operate is in his interaction with Lefteris Charalambopoulos, the Greek journalist (who has written for Insideworldfootball) who wrote about his Aegean Oil dealmaking.<br /><br />Calling from an Aegean Oil number and identifying himself as Dimitris Melissanidis he threatened Charalambopoulos’ life repeatedly, saying: “I could have you killed without having warned you. But I am a man and I’m gonna have you blown up in your sleep. I’ll have you killed, you, your wife, your children, everything you’ve got.”<br /><br />When Charalambopoulos told him he would alert the authorities, he replied: “Screw you and the authorities. I don’t understand anything, I am Melissanidis. You will not be able to sleep. You will not be able to go out, I’ll be your nightmare. Fear of me will haunt you. They will come to your house and blow you up in your sleep. I am used to talking to big journalists. I looked you up and I will tear you down.”<br /><br />Clearly the ball is in UEFA and FIFA’s court to deal with the Greek situation. You could probably get good odds on whether they really have the inclination to do that at OPAP.<br /><br />Contact the writer of this story at moc.llabtoofdlrowedisni@noslohcin.luap <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.aegeanoil.com/new/dimitris-melissanidis-becomes-an-official-of-the-ecumenical-patriarchate-2124.htm?lang=en#.Wx5Eqn2n-M8">Dimitris Melissanidis Becomes an Official of the Ecumenical Patriarchate </a><br /><br /><br />The Holy Church of Christ, through the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomeos, honored Dimitris Melissanidis with the title of Curopalates, one of the Church’s highest honorary offices.<br />The Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomeos granted Mr. Melissanidis the title of Curopalates immediately after the Divine Liturgy of Theophania and the Great Blessing of the Patriarchal Holy Church of Saint George in Phanari.<br />In his remarks, the Ecumenical Patriarch said that the new Official of the Church was honored for his sincere devotion to the Mother Church, for his humility and his willingness to offer to the pious and noble descendants of Pontos, as well as his other charitable initiatives.<br />This is the first time since 1453 that the title of Curopalates has been awarded.

Once upon a time there was another Greek, being successful and patriotic, who wanted to help his native country in his field of expertise.<br />
However he didn't know that Greece's ruling elites have an other worldview.<br />

Obligations as head emeritus of the Space Department Applied Physics Laboratory at Johns Hopkins University in the United States and at NASA usually keep Krimigis away from his native Greece, but the next two years will see him spending a lot more time in Athens after he was appointed at the head of the newly established Hellenic Space Agency. The task at hand is to “build an agency from the bottom up” by uniting disparate state agencies under one new body, he explains.</div>

The next two years? He managed to stay for two days, because on the third he had to resign. The article was printed on 13/04/2018 and he wrote a <a href="http://s.kathimerini.gr/resources/article-files/smk-statement-finalr.pdf">letter of resignation</a> on 16/04/2018. The letter was made public two weeks later.<br />

“Excellence, meritocracy, performance and ethos are our guiding principles,” says Krimigis, noting that it took him some time to agree to the invitation from the Greek government. </blockquote>

In the Greek letter he spoke about assessment. Assessment, meritocracy and excellence... The ruling mentality is that all people are equal before God, no-one should judge other or he will be judged too, so unless God Yahweh makes the assessment himself, meritocracy and excellence are not applicable.<br />

The prime minister is voted by the people and this is interpreted as an appointment by God Yahweh. It doesn't matter if they are atheists, because actually they do not believe in the Bible, but have a more abstract notion of God, still that God being the monotheistic one. So the prime minister by divine right appoints ministers and general secretaries and a mere head of an institution, instead of being just thankful, demands assurances...<br />

Well Greek politicians aren't interested in profits, they need institutions and bureaus for their voters. They need people who depend on them, who know or think they do not stand a chance in a free market; and that not just by socialists, social democrats or communists.<br />

“It is everyone’s duty to the nation, the duty of all political parties, to support this effort,” he says, stressing that Greece is a member of the European Space Agency (ESA) and needs to make advances in the field. “We’re not trying to build a spaceship,” he says, adding that the focus is on scientific instruments. “It is technology that is also important to the country’s security and this is the only way that we can acquire it.

His first successful mission was the launch to Mars of the Mariner 4 spaceship for flyby exploration in 1964, but his 50-year career hasn’t always been full of high notes.

Today, every spaceship has thousands of microchips conducting a constant digital dialogue. Does all this technology help? “There is always a huge possibility not of error but of unforeseen circumstances, so we always use the first few months of a space mission to see how the spaceship is going,” he says. Voyagers which have been transmitting data to Earth for the past 40 years, he adds, operate with simple commands and just 70KB of memory. </div>

Krimigis remembers the start of the space age and the West’s shock at the USSR’s launch of the Sputnik in 1957. He firmly believes that the space race saved the world from a certain war and believes that all future space missions will be the product of international partnerships, mainly because of their enormous cost. A planned 500 billion dollar manned mission to Mars is no exception.</div>

“We will be stepping foot on Mars as explorers, not as colonizers,” the expert stresses, explaining that the possibility of inhabiting a planet that has almost no atmosphere and radiation levels that are lethal to man are zero. “Who wants to live below ground in order to be shielded from the radiation and to have to learn to grow crops on that surface in order to survive?” he asks.</div>

The solar system is a frontier that has not been sufficiently explored, says Krimigis, adding that the space community’s focus is now on the quest for planets that are friendly to man and on closer exploration of worlds that have water, such as Europa, Titan and Enceladus.</div>

Krimigis was born on the eastern Aegean island of Chios in 1938, growing up into an A-plus student thanks to his mother’s insistence for high grades. He started studying at the University of Minnesota in the US in 1956, where a chance encounter with Professor James Van Allen changed his life. The world-renowned academic saw something in the young student and invited him to his postgraduate program at the University of Iowa, where Krimigis also went on to do his PhD. Among other tasks, Van Allen asked him to build a special piece of equipment that would be used on the Mariner 4 spaceship to Mars. “I finished it just a month before the launch,” he remembers.</div>

Who is the right man for that job? A person that claims to believe monks can dilate time and posts stupid commentaries about Europeans who want to eliminate Greece and Romiosini, the latter being Christian Romanitas or Eastern Christianity. What he describes as "Europeans" is Homo habilis and what "they" achieved was the achievements of Hellenic Heathen Pagan Idolatric Greece and not the Byzantine Empire. Apart from being a member of different commitees his only true experience is introducing internet in Cyprus illegally and being in charge of the Cypriot Church's radio station.<br />

<a href="http://www.keeptalkinggreece.com/2018/04/27/greece-space-agency-st-porfyrios-miracle/">Article in English</a><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The new head of Greek Space Agency, Christodoulos Protopapas, was
appointed just hours after the former head, astrophysicist Stamatis
Krimizis resigned on Thursday. Within hours, the new space chief made it
first to social media and then to websites not only because of his
striking anti-Europeanism but also due to rather weird belief that
Saints “can stop the time.”<br />
In his blog, Protopapas wrote of a miracle Saint Porfyrios the
Kapsokalivitis (1906-1991), the Saint who protects Technology, as he
stresses.<br />
The miracle was that St Porfyrios “achieved relativistic time
dilation through prayers,” when a group of nuns on a taxi stuck in
traffic jam were late to reach the Monastery before it would close the
door for the evening. He did not write when exactly the miracle happened
but the nuns had previously visited the Saint.<br />
The Saint managed to hold time “for over an hour,” the Greek <em>nasa</em>
chief notes adding “the last time such a miracle had happened was when
Joshua raised his hands in the sign of cross and ordered the sun to
stop, so that the day is prolonged and the Israelites win the battle.”<br />
Of course, Joshua from the Old Testament was supposed to have lived
long before Jesus Christ and his Crucifixion. But who cares? It’s the
faith that leads Greece’s scientific agency.<br />
“The difference between the two miracles is that St Porfyrios time
dilation was implemented for only a group of people and not for the
whole world” – as in Joshua’s case.<br />
Convinced about the miracle he further notes “the miracle puzzled me
for many years because for me it is one of the very few miraculous
interventions in time space that have been recorded in our Greek
