Chicago Greek Priest Praises Turkish Cultural Center - Receives Award From Gulen Movement

Bishop Demetrios of Mokissos, is a well known bishop of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Chicago, and apparently he is extremely, and suspiciously, very Turkish friendly. In fact Bishop Demetrios has a long history with the Turkish Muslim Gulen Movement. So much so that Bishop Demetrios of Mokissos, was also honored by Chicago’s Niagara Foundation, an organization founded by the local Turkish American community.

In March he praised a Turkish Cultural Center in Chicago.
    "This building (Turkish Cultural Center) represents so much to so many, but I think it represents an even more significant spot in the history of our people," a daily herald article quoted him as saying.
    "Greeks and Turks living together in harmony and mutual respect is a dream come true that my grandparents never saw," he added.
Bishop Demetrios has maintained a relationship with the Turkish-American Niagara Foundation since its inception, when he was among the Chicago religious leaders who participated in the organization’s first intercultural trip to Turkey.

Some say that the main focus of this Foundation, which is a civic organization founded by Turkish Americans living in Chicago, is “to serve multiculturalism, pluralism in the society, and to make a contribution to multicultural living and not to lobby on behalf of the Turkish government or Turkish society.

So is he a man of peace, who simply believes in the rapprochement of nations, or is there something suspicious behind his admiration for the Gulen movement and Turkey?

No one knows, but the Gulen movement is in hot water because they have opened Charter Schools across the United States. They use these schools to import Turkish teachers and Turks into the USA. The well known US news show 60 minutes, exposed the Gulen movement and these Charter Schools.

The schools are even being investigated by the FBI. And from what we hear they are being denied status across the United States.

The Washington DC Gulen group Rumi Forum, which is linked to the Gulen Movement, actively lobbies against Genocide recognition of Christian Greeks, Assyrians, and Armenians.

So much so, that in 2008, Turkish Gulenists attended a Greek Lobby event which was presenting a book on Symrna. The head of Rumi Forum attempted to first downplay and then even deny the atrocities and the blazing catastrophes that occurred in Smyrna from Turkish army forces in 1923.

Is Bishop Mokissos representing the Greek American community and Greek interests? Where does Mokissos’ loyalty lay? Towards Greece? Or towards Turkey? Most importantly, Greek Americans need to ask Bishop Mokissos why he refuses to speak out about Gulen’s denial of the Genocide of Christians, or the current illegal Turkish military occupation of Cyprus.

(Please, contact the Greek Orthodox Church at 212-570-3500.)

But he is not the only Greek-American that has spoken in favor of this movement which till this day refuses to recognize an atrocious genocide of our people.

This is from the National Herald:
    "The point is that the Turkish charter school achievement has left the Greek American Community eating its dust, a real shame, because Greek Americans are not lacking in know-how or resources" says Christopher Tripoulas in his recent article titled Turkish Stratejik Derinlik and Greeks’ Never-Ending Nap in the National Herald.
In other words, this Greek-American is impressed and amazed over the success of the Turkish Gulen charter schools, which is fine, and openly criticizes his fellow Greek-Americans for not doing as much as the Turkish-American community has in the field of education.

We have heard other Gulen fans as saying that this movement's only goal is to spread love, peace and tolerance through education, and that they are not a political movement. So what is the truth? It would be best to learn what the Gulen movement is.

We learn that the aim of the Gulen movement is to create a golden generation of educated Muslims. This would indeed be ideal, education is key. But this is also a goal that is shared by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan who has dreams of Ottomizing the world.

According to the author of The Day of Islam: The Annihilation of America and the Western World, The Al Qaeda Connection, and other best-selling books, Mr. Paul Williams PhD, (seen frequently on national news networks as ABC News, CBS News, Fox News, MSNBC, and NPR), this movement is being financed by some of the US's leading billionaires.

In fact in one of his articles he claims that the Fethullah Gulen movement, which seeks to restore the Ottoman Empire, has found a good friend and benefactor in Microsoft's Bill Gates!
    "In 2007, through the Texas High School Project, the Gates Foundation shelled out $10,550,000 to the Cosmos Foundation, a Gulen enterprise that operates 25 publicly funded charter schools in Texas. The Internal Revenue Service Form 990 for Cosmos shows that the Cosmos Foundation received $41,570,721 from taxpayers."
In the same article he notes that at the Gulen schools, students are indoctrinated in Turkish culture, language, and religion so that they may be of service in making Fethullah Gulan’s dream of a universal caliphate a reality (meaning an Ottoman caliphate).

The madrassahs also apparently sponsor Turkish clubs, Turkish language societies, Turkish dance groups and even annual trips to Constantinople.

It is therefore safe to say that this movement is openly promoting Turkish interests. In fact the Gulen schools, which our Greek-American friend and Chicago Bishop praise, apparently advance and promote Islamic beliefs; present the Ottoman Empire, which lasted from 1299 to 1923, as a golden age; and even serve to rewrite history by denying the holocaust/genocides of our people (as well as Armenians and Assyrians) under the Turks during World War I.

So we would advise Bishop Demetrios of Mokissos not to be fooled by the Gulen Movement's institutes and foundations, they are infiltrating local, state and national politics in the USA.

If this was not a politically motivated movement, then why all the invitations to politicians? Rumi Forum Ramadan Dinner at the White House, Turkic American Alliance shindig with politicians, etc.

The Gulen Movement is also big on dialog foundations where they rope in local academia, politics, media and religious leaders to speak or give a bull shit award for humanity. This also is coupled with a free trip to Turkey and other honorary awards that makes the recipient more vulnerable to promoting the Gulen schools and business in the USA.

But because of this, almost every state in the USA now has a state proclamation claiming "Turkey is a friend and ally of the USA, we are the land of love, tolerance for all minorities (leave out the part about killing Kurdish Alevis and Christian minorities) with a rich diverse history.

These state proclamations can be found at http://www.Turkishinvitations.weebly.com

Moreover, the Turkish Chamber of Commerce, the Turkic American Alliance (TAA) all work together with the multi layers of local and state operated Gulen foundations or institutes.  They are big on giving parties, gifts and they know that American politicians can easily be bribed. (Follow the history of former politicians that have accepted their gifts Jean Schmidt and John McGee).

The reality is that the Gulen Movement is political, social and all about commerce. The aim is to control commerce through the establishment of a neo-Ottoman caliphate via these schools which teach Turkish culture, language and history to the future "golden generation".

And we ask, how does all the above benefit Greek interests?

Make your own conclusions. 

(It would also be wise to also read the Wikileaks cables about the Gulen Movement, described as a "third power" http://wikileaks.org/gifiles/docs/1532300_gulen-movement-turkey-s-third-power-.html)

Wikileaks: The US Abandons Ioannides After Shambolic Coup Against Makarios

Below is an interesting Wikileaks cable (original here) sent from the US Embassy in Athens to the US State Department detailing a meeting on 16 July 1974, i.e. the day after the Athens-engineered coup that overthrew President Makarios in Cyprus, between Greece’s junta leader Dimitrios Ioannides and the US ambassador to Greece, Henry Tasca.

Hellenic Antidote

It’s clear from the cable that Ioannides believed he had American support for the coup and that he is infuriated when it becomes clear to him that, with Makarios alive and the coup a shambles, the Americans were now not prepared to defend Ioannides’ putsch in Cyprus, which meant, it must have been obvious to Ioannides, there was now nothing to stop a Turkish invasion of the island, that, indeed, the Americans were sympathetic to such a development. Ioannides desperately seeks to assure Tasca that the coup was in American interests, ranting about Makarios and the imminent prospect of Cyprus ‘falling into the hands of the communists’. The cable also confirms that, inasmuch as Ioannides had thought through the coup, his immediate aim was not annexation of Cyprus to Greece, but the removal of Makarios in order to facilitate an understanding with Turkey on the future of the island, i.e. partition of the island between Greece and Turkey.
FOR THE SECRETARY

1. I USED SECURE RELIABLE CHANNEL DIRECTLY TO GENERAL IOANNIDES TO DELIVER MESSAGE REFTEL [Reference Telegram]. HE BEGAN BY EXPLAINING HE HAD PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM USG [US government]. AFTER EMISSARY HAD READ TWO PARAGRAPHS, IOANNIDES COMMENTED MESSAGE MUST BE SAME AS THAT AMBASSADOR HAD GIVEN KYPREOS [Greece’s foreign minister],IN WHICH CASE EMISSARY WASTING HIS TIME SINCE HE WOULD RECEIVE MESSAGE ANYWAY. EMISSARY EXPLAINED HIS JOB WAS TO FINISH READING MESSAGE AND HAD IT TO HIM AND WOULD DO SO, TO WHICH GENERAL IOANNIDES SAID FINE.

2. AFTER EMISSARY COMPLETED MESSAGE, THE GENERAL LITERALLY BLEW UP, JUMPED UP, BACKED UP, KNOCKED OVER A TABLE, BROKE EMPTY GLASS AND UTTERED A STRONG OBSCENITY. HE CONTINUED THAT ONE DAY KISSINGER MAKES PUBLIC STATEMENTS REGARDING NON-INTERFERENCE IN GREEK INTERNAL AFFAIRS AND A FEW WEEKS LATER THE USG SAYS "CONSISTENT WITH THE ABOVE PRINCIPLES..." AND THREATENS INTERFERENCE. NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENED IN CYPUS I (IOANNIDES) WILL BE BLAMED. IF I HAD PULLED THE TROOPS OUT THE FORMER POLITICIANS WOULD HAVE BLAMED ME FOR TURNING THE ISLAND OVER TO THE COMMUNISTS. SOME DAY USG WILL REALIZE THAT ON 15 JULY 1974 CYPRUS WAS SAVED FROM FALLING INTO THE HANDS OF THE COMMUNISTS".

3. GENERAL THEN CALMED DOWN, CAME OVER TO WHERE EMISSARY WAS SITTING AND SAID HE KNEW HE UNDERSTOOD HIM: DIPLOMATIC TALK IS TIME-CONSUMING BUT HE WOULD ANSWER IN AS DIPLOMATIC FASHION AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE HE HAD DIPLOMATIC MISSION.

4. GENERAL STATED THAT GREECE ALSO BELIEVED IN NON-INTERFERENCE AND IN A FREE, INDEPENDENT, SOVEREIGN STATE OF CYPRUS; GREECE WOULD ABIDE BY THE DECISION OF THE MAJORITY OF THE GREEK CYPRIOTS, MOST OF WHOM WERE NATIONALISTS, AND THESE NATIONALISTS WERE THE ONES WHO HAD MOVED AGAINST MAKARIOS. IT WAS IMMATERIAL WHETHER THESE GREEK CYPRIOT NATIONALISTS MOVED WITH OR WITHOUT THE PRIOR BLESSING OF GREECE OR WHETHER GREEK OFFICERS SUBSEQUENTLY ASSISTED THEM. AT THIS POINT HE WENT OFF ON A TANGENT STATING THAT NEITHER GREECE NOR THE GREEK CYPRIOTS HAD ASKED FOR ENOSIS, THAT GOT [government of Turkey] HAD OBVIOUSLY ACCEPTED THESE DEVELOPMENTS IN CYPRUS, THAT TURKS UNDER STOOD THAT THE MATTER WAS AN INTERNAL GREEK CYPRIOT AFFAIR.

5. ACCORDING TO IOANNIDES ONLY REAL RESISTANCE LEFT ON CYPRUS WERE COMMUNIST SUPPORTS OF MAKARIOS IN PAPHOS;THESE SUPPORTERS WERE EVEN SINGING EAM/ELAS SONGS. MOST OF THE REST OF ISLAND WAS IN NATIONALIST HANDS. GENERAL IOANNIDES STATED THAT EVERYONE SHOULD FORGET THAT MAKARIOS WAS AN INTERNATIONAL FIGURE, THAT HE WAS A NATIONAL HERO, THAT HE HAD SERVED SEVERAL USEFUL FUNCTIONS AND THAT HE WAS A MAN OF THE CLOTH; MAKARIOS HAD BECOME A ROTTEN PRIEST HOMOSEXUAL; HE WAS PERVERTED, A TORTURER, A SEXUAL DEVIATE AND THE OWNER OF HALF THE HOTELS ON THE ISLAND. TO PRESERVE HIS POSITION AND TO CONTINUE HIS ACTIVITIES, MAKARIOS WAS WILLING TO SACRIFICE SEVENTY PER CENT OF THE GREEK CYPRIOT POPULATION (ONLY THIRTY PER CENT WERE AKEL) AND ENTIRE ANTI-COMMUNIST TURKISH CYPRIOT POPULATION. IOANNIDES ASSERTED GREEK CYPRIOTS IN NATIONAL GUARD REALIZED THESE FACTS AND HAD BEGGED MOTHERLAND FOR CHANCE TO ACT AGAINST MAKARIOS; GENERAL CLAIMED THAT HE ONLY ASSISTED AFTER BEING PRESENTED WITH A FAIT ACCOMPLI.

6. AT THIS POINT EMISSARY INTERJECTED AND TOLD IOANNIDES POINT-BLANK THAT, WITH COUP ONLY TWENTY-FOUR HOURS AFTER HIS REPORTING TO US REGARDING A POSSIBLE OVERTHROW OF MAKARIOS THIS WAS VERY DIFFICULT FOR ANYONE TO BELIEVE. AT THIS POINT THE GENERAL AGAIN BLEW UP WITH ARMS WAVING, KNOCKED OVER SAME TABLE, BROKE A SECOND GLASS AND, BETWEEN OBSCENITIES, STATED THAT HE DID NOT PLOT AND ARRANGE THE COUP; INITIAL PLAN AND APPROACH WAS FROM GREEK CYPRIOT NATIONALISTS ON 13 JULY, AFTER LATTER LEARNED THAT GOG [government of Greece] INTENDED TO ACCEDE TO MAKARIOS' DEMANDS TO REDUCE NUMBER OF GREEK OFFICERS IN NATIONAL GUARD.GENERAL STATED HE COULD NOT ACCEPT AT LEAST 85,000 GREEK CYPRIOT REFUGEES  FROM MAKARIOS' TYRANNY. THIS COUPLED WITH MAKARIOS' ANTI-REGIME EFFORTS, MADE HIM DECIDE TO ASSIST GREEK CYPRIOT NATIONALISTS. THE GENERAL STATED THAT IF MAKARIOS SUCCEEDED IN KICKING  GREEKS OUT OF CYPRUS WHAT COULD KEEP HIM FROM THINKING HE COULD NOT KICK JUNTA OUT OF GREECE. AFTER DECIDING TO ASSIST GREEK CYPRIOTS, THE GENERAL CLAIMED THAT HE DID NOT TELL THE ARMED FORCES LEADERSHIP NOR ANY GREEK OFFICIAL. HE LIMITED KNOWLEDGE OF HIS INTENTIONS TO FEW SELECT OFFICERS ON 13/14 JULY; NO ONE ELSE KNEW AND EVEN AFTER EVENTS UNFOLDED ON 15 JULY ONLY A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE WERE AWARE OF HIS ROLE. IOANNIDES JUSTIFIED THIS ACTION BY ASSERTING THAT IF HE HAD BRIEFED NUMEROUS PEOPLE THEY WOULD HAVE RAISED SUGGESTIONS, ADVICE, ALTERNATIVES, AND POSSIBLE PROBLEMS. HE ADDED THAT HE ACTED ON SPUR OF THE MOMENT.

7. IOANNIDES DECLARED THAT GAME WAS NOW OVER FOR MAKARIOS, THAT GREEK CYPRIOTS HAD BOOTED HIM OUT, THAT NATIONAL GUARD AND GREEK OFFICERS HAD ASSISTED NATIONALIST GREEK CYPRIOT BROTHERS, AND THAT ONLY RESISTANCE NOW WAS IN PAPHOS. IN REPLY TO EMISSARY'S DIRECT QUESTION IOANNIDES STATED THAT MAKARIOS WAS STILL ALIVE  "BUT WHO CARES; HE NOW HAS NO POWER AND NO ONE, IF HE BELIEVES IN PRINCIPLE OF NON-INTERFERENCE IN INTERNAL AFFAIRS OF SOVEREIGN NATION WILL ASSIST HIM- NOT EVEN THE RUSSIANS UNLESS TURKS ASK THEM TO DO SO AND THE TURKS JUST DON'T CARE."

8. IN REPLY TO QUESTION WHETHER GREEKS WERE IN DIRECT TOUCH WITH TURKS, GENERAL STATED WE HAVE NOT BOTHERED THE TURKS; WE HAVE NOT DECLARED ENOSIS. TURKS AGREE THAT "THE PRINCIPAL THORN" (I.E., MAKARIOS) IS GONE AND, "I AM NOT IN TOUCH WITH THE TURKS." HE EXPRESSED VIEW THAT GREECE AND TURKEY COULD NOW PROCEED AT SOME FUTURE TIME TO SIT DOWN, TALK AND SOLVE THEIR DIFFERENCES. INDEED, ACCORDING TO IOANNIDES GREEKS MIGHT EVEN BE WILLING TO SHARE PROFITS OF PETROLEUM FINDS IN A JOINT EXPLORATION COMPANY; HOWEVER, GREECE WOULD NEVER SURRENDER AEGEAN CONTINENTAL SHELF BECAUSE THIS WOULD MEAN TURKISH CONTROL OF GREEK ISLANDS. HE ALSO EXPRESSED BELIEF THAT GREEK AND TURKISH CYPRIOTS COULD PROBABLY SOLVE THEIR DIFFICULTIES PEACEFULLY, QUIETLY AND AMICABLY. HE EVEN JOKED THAT IN A YEAR OR PERHAPS MORE REALISTICALLY TEN, THE TURKS MIGHT WANT TO SELL THEIR SHARE OF CYPRUS FOR INCREASED PERCENTAGE OF PETROLEUM RIGHTS. AGAIN IN REPLY TO DIRECT QUESTION, GENERAL IOANNIDES STATED THAT HE WAS NOT IN CONTACT WITH ANY TURKISH OFICIAL; HOWEVER, HE ADDED THAT TURKS WERE "OFFICIALLY AWARE" THAT ENOSIS WAS NOT THE OBJECTIVE AT THIS POINT AND THAT GREEK CYPRIOTS DID NOT INTEND ANY BLOODY ACTION AGAINST TURK CYPRIOTS.

9. WHEN ASKED FOR SPECIFICS ON MAKARIOS, IOANNIDES STATED THAT ACCORDING TO GREEK INFORMATION, MAKARIOS WAS ALIVE AND IN HANDS OF BRITISH AT EPISKOPI BASE, HE HAD GONE THERE WITH ASSISTANCE OF CANADIANS AND BRITISH ON ISLAND.

10. AT THIS POINT IOANNIDES SUMMED UP AS FOLLOWS:
A) HE STRESSED THAT HE TOO HAD A GOD; HE WAS DEFINITELY NOT ANTI-AMERICAN; "EVEN A JACKASS NEEDED A POST TO BE TIED TO" AND IN HIS CASE IT WAS THE U.S.

B) HIS HASTY DECISION ON 13 JULY MIGHT HAVE BEEN STUPID. INSTEAD OF ABANDONING CYPRUS AND LETTING U.S. WORRY ABOUT ITS FATE AND POUR MONEY DOWN ANOTHER RATHOLE, HE HAD ALLOWED LOVE OF COUNTRY, A MORAL OBLIGATION TO THE GREEK CYPRIOT NATIONALISTS AND HIS "PHILOTIMO" TO OVERRULE LOGIC AND TO ASSIST GREEK CYPRIOTS.

C) GREECE WOULD DO WHATEVER WAS NECESSARY TO PRESERVE ITS NATIONAL IDENTITY AND TO STAY ANTI-COMMUNIST. IF THIS MEANT KEEPING YIAROS OPEN IT WOULD STAY OPEN AS LONG AS IT WAS NECESSARY AND HE WOULD ACCEPT NO STATIC FROM ANYONE ON THIS SCORE. INDEED,HE HAD INSTRUCTED A GREEK OFFICIAL TO TELL BRITISH OFFICIALLY THAT WHENEVER THE BRITISH LET IRISH POLITICAL PRISONERS OUT OF BRITISH JAILS, HE WOULD FREE THE FORTY-TWO GREEK POLITICAL PRISONERS ON YIAROS.

D) HE PERSONALLY DIDN'T LIKE NIKOS SAMPSON, BUT THAT WAS GREEK CYPRIOT NATIONALIST DECISION. HE KNEW SAMPSON PERSONALLY AND IN HIS OPINION SAMPSON WAS "CRAZY." HE JOKINGLY REMARKED THAT NEW CYPRIOT MINISTER OF DEFENSE DIMITRIOU WAS VERY PRO-AMERICAN AND THAT OUR EMBASSY THERE WOULD SOON REALIZE THIS. HE ALSO KNEW DIMITRIOU PERSONALLY.

E) WHILE SHAKING HANDS AT CLOSE OF CONVERSATION IOANNIDES STATED "REMEMBER WE TOO BELIEVE IN A FREE, INDEPENDENT AND SOVEREIGN CYPRUS, WE TOO BELIEVE IN NON INTERFERENCE, ALONG WITH TURKS AND ESPECIALLY WITH KISSINGER. WE TOO BELIEVE THAT THE CYPRIOTS SHOULD BE FREE TO SOLVE THEIR OWN PROBLEMS, BE THEY GREEK CYPRIOTS, TURK CYPRIOTS OR BOTH."

Greek Village Near Sparti Calls Golden Dawn To Protect Them From Roma Gypsies (VIDEO)

The incompetence and indifference of local police have caused citizens of Trapezonti Laconia (near Sparta) to seek support from the people’s protectors, Golden Dawn. Gypsy violence, sex attacks, and theft has plagued the beautiful town, with its most vulnerable citizens such as women, the elderly and children, afraid to leave their homes.

Community leaders contacted Golden Dawn division Sparta to stand up for them, as democrats are too concerned about offending the EU canonized Gypsies, or simply too lazy to make the town hospitable for its citizens.

The meeting began with local towns folk speaking about various crimes, ranging from petty to vicious, they or their neighbors have suffered. With the economic implosion, citizens seek to at least preserve the picturesque beauty of their town, but gypsies refuse to abide by even the most basic and easy to follow sanitation standards, which hurts the pride of the community.

After the speeches, citizens of all ages made their voices heard in a peaceful yet firm demonstration to the gypsies and the police, that Greeks will defend themselves against predators.

The humanitarian Greek Left, speaking from their rich gated communities, reacted hysterically to Golden Dawn taking up an important issue they dismiss and conservatives ignore.

The community and Golden Dawn Sparta are organizing a plan for safety patrols.

Because of their Romanian and Bulgarian passports, Gypsy violence and repulsive habits have ravaged towns even in Western Europe. Despite generous social welfare and free housing, the Roma community culturally enriched a working class town in Germany so much that it has even gotten on the nerves of the fervent Leftist municipality.

The New World Order – Part 4

 
Never in human history has this wonderful planet and its inhabitants  been subjected to such an evil satanic regime! Never since its creation has an organisation create so much damage to its environment, government, people, finances and it industrial base and kept us all at war chasing non existent terrorists!

Peter Eyre

Many people have written about the targets of the New World Order and it was people like Dr. John Coleman who put pen to paper and highlighted some of the those horrendous targets. Below I have reproduced most of what has been written with modifications so as not to offend some people that may read it. It is also vital for people to watch the interview between the late Aaron Russo and Alex Jones for an overview as to what the New World Order is  all about: - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGAaPjqdbg

You will note in this interview he gives reference to 9/11 some considerable time before the event took place and also draws attention to the master plan to inject everyone with a chip and pin device which is currently used for identifying animals.

The legislation required to enforce this has already been approved by US Congress and could be implemented anytime from 2013 onwards in the same way the implementation of drones over every major city and their attempts to disarm the public are clearly in the final stages of  enforcing Martial Law and a Police State.

Before moving on to those targets let me also tell you that all the current conflicts and wars in the Middle East are all generated by the New World Order and were first planned almost 20, years ago (although at the time the plan was first introduced by Paul Wolfowitz under the banner of the Project For The New American Century).

This plan was first supported by none other than that moron Donald Rumsfeld and it also became apparent that President Clinton was also pressured into acceptance before its contents were made available to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu which clearly revealed the influence that Israel had over the US President and Congress!

The full implementation of the plan was then set into motion by the Bush family who stood to gain commercially and obviously involved Dick Cheney the other moron who all then exploited Iraq and Afghanistan etc.

What later became apparent was the fact that soon after 9/11 (which was a Zionist  planned “False Flag”) General W Clarke (the ex NATO Supreme Commander Europe), became privy to a highly confidential document which gave warning of the Pentagon’s plan to take out at least 7 Islamic countries over a period of around 10 years.

This list included Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Iran, Somalia, Yemen and Sudan etc and as one can clearly see this plan is already well underway with three of those already gone and the others are currently in the pipeline.

We should also remember that it was this same New World Order in it earlier days that started both WW1 and WW2 and a whole list of false flag incidents since that time i.e.

Gulf of Tonkin – Vietnam, 9/11, 7/7, USS Cole, US Embassy Kenya/Hotel, Sinking of the South Korean Corvette and all the many alleged attempted bombings of aircraft – Shoe Bomber, Underwear Bomber, Ink Jet Bomber, Times Square etc etc the list is endless.

You may also be shocked to learn that the Arab Spring and the current Western Spring in Europe is all of their making and the World Financial Meltdown in 2008 was also their creation. One must be prepared for a second “Financial Tsunami” that could well take out the whole of Europe and destroy the Euro all listed in their plan!!

So back to the main theme of this article – what do they have planned for our world?

The List below highlights some of the main points. It is clear that the only way of stopping this evil and satanic empire is for a military “Coup d’etat” to take out this rather small empire and bring stability back into our world!!

1. To establish a One World Government/New World Order with a unified church and monetary system under their direction

2. To bring about the utter destruction of all national identity and national pride, which was a primary consideration if the concept of a One World Government was to work.

3. To engineer and bring about the destruction of religion, and more especially, the Christian Religion, with the one exception, that of their own creation and beliefs.

4. To establish the ability to control of each and every person through means of mind control and what  Zbignew  Brzezinski called techonotronics, which would create human-like robots and a system of terror.

5. To bring about the end to all industrialization and those industries that may remain will be exported to third world countries or countries where there is an abundance of slave labour. Unemployment will esculate leaving our respective populations without jobs  or homes making them subservient to the state. The spin off from this would be chronic depression leading to alcoholism and, drug addiction which then leads to a break down in society and a hike in deaths from such addiction etc, the final outcome being the elimination of the “excess population” process we know of today as Global 2000.

6. To encourage, and eventually legalise the use of drugs and make pornography an “art-form”, which will be widely accepted and, eventually, become quite commonplace.

7. To bring about depopulation of large cities according to the trial run carried out by the Pol Pot regime in Cambodia. It is interesting to note that Pol Pot’s genocidal plans were drawn up in the US by one of the Club of Rome’s research foundations, and overseen by Thomas Enders, a high-ranking State Department official. It is also interesting that the committee is currently seeking to reinstate the Pol Pot butchers in Cambodia.

8. To suppress all scientific development except for those deemed beneficial by the Illuminati. Especially targeted is nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. Particularly hated are the fusion experiments currently being scorned and ridiculed by the Illuminati and its jackals of the press. Development of the fusion torch would blow the Illuminati’s conception of “limited natural resources” right out of the window. A fusion torch, properly used, could create unlimited and as yet untapped natural resources, even from the most ordinary substances. Fusion torch uses are legion, and would benefit mankind in a manner which, as yet, is not even remotely comprehended by the public.

9. To cause, by means of limited wars  in the advanced countries, by means of starvation  and diseases in the Third World countries,  death of three billion by the year 2050, people they call “useless eaters”. The Committee of 300 (Illuminati) commissioned Cyrus Vance to write a paper on this subject of how to bring about such genocide. The paper was produced under the title “Global 2000 Report” and was accepted and approved for action by former President James Earl Carter, and Edwin Muskie, then Secretary of States, for and on behalf of the US Government. Under the terms of the Global 2000 Report, the population of the US is to be reduced by 100 milliion by 2050.

10. To weaken the moral fiber of all nations and to demoralize workers in the labour class by creating mass unemployment. As jobs dwindle due to the post industrial zero growth policies introduced by the Club of Rome, the report envisages demoralized and discouraged workers resorting to alcohol and drugs. The youth of the land will be encouraged by means of rock music and drugs to rebel against the status quo, thus undermining and eventually destroying the family unit. In this regard, the Committee commissioned Tavistock Institute to prepare a blueprint as to how this could be achieved. Tavistock directed Stanford Reseach to undertake the work under the direction of Professor Willis Harman. This work later became known as the “Aquarian Conspiracy”.

11. To keep people everywhere from deciding their own destinies by means of one created crisis after another and then “managing” such crises. This will confuse and demoralize the population to the extent where faced with too many choices, apathy on a massive scale will result. In the case of the US, an agency for Crisis Management is already in place. It is called the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), whose existence was first disclosed in 1980.

12. To introduce new cults and continue to boost those already functioning which include rock music gangsters such as the Rolling Stones (a gangster group much favored by European Black Nobility), and all of the Tavistock-created rock groups which began with the Beatles..

13. To continue to build up the cult of Christian Fundamentalism begun by the British East India Company’s, which will be misused to strengthen the Zionist State of Israel by identifying with the Jews through the myth of “God’s chosen people”, and by donating very substantial amounts of money to what they mistakenly believe is a religious cause in the furtherance of Christianity.

14. To press for the spread of religious cults  and to carry out mind control experiments.

15. To export “religious liberation” ideas around the world so as to undermine all existing religions, but more especially the Christian religion and in doing so reviving Communism in many places in Latin America and  such places Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Angola and South Africa etc.

16. To cause a total collapse of the world’s economies and create total political chaos.

17. To take control of all foreign and domestic policies in many countries.

18. To give the fullest support to their own controlled institutions such as the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Bank of International Settlements, the World Court and, as far as possible, make local institutions less effective, by gradually phasing them out or bringing them under the control  of the UN.

19. To penetrate and subvert all governments, and work from within them to destroy the sovereign integrity of the nations represented by them.

20. To organize a world-wide terrorist apparatus and to negotiate with terrorists whenever terrorist activities take place…….needless to say that Al Queda is an invented terrorist group by the New World Order as a tool to keep the war on terrorism alive when in actual fact it does not exist. By pushing this imaginary war of terrorism has the required effect of spreading fear into the populations of the world and at the same time allow them to alter the law in order to enforce their own “Police State Controls” in each and every nation.   

21. To take control of education throughout the world with the intent and purpose of utterly and completely destroying it and at the same time making it impossible for the ordinary middle/working class youth to enter University.

The New World Order has taken over the role of God and insists that it is necessary to limit populations within the boundaries of decreasing natural resources. It goes without saying that the elite will not allow themselves to be threatened by a burgeoning population of “useless eaters,” hence culling must be practiced.

The so called “culling” is well underway (as per Global 2000 Report) and also their other culling mechanism – Agenda 21. It is important to understand that by allowing WMD’s to be deployed in the battlefield is part of that programme. It’s deadly aerosol does not identify international borders and therefore has the ability to contaminate the world’s environment.

Those weapons contain depleted uranium that distribute a radioactive cloud of gaseous nano particles around the globe and thus increase cancer and many other medical problems including severe mental disorders and gross birth defects etc

Add to this the current mass vaccination programmes around the world, that in some cases contain mercury or aluminum adjuvants that have the potential side effects to cause infertility (HPV) and also many other mental problems etc.

The current flu top up carried out each and every year now incorporates the Swine Flu vaccine that was yet another “WHO Scam” and one can clearly see how their depopulation strategy is coming into being. In the UK and Australia the HPV vaccine will be reinforced into the schools health programme when all children will be given the vaccine, it is time for parents to start asking questions and for you as a parent to control what your children have or do not have!!

Chatham House – Royal Institute of International Affairs

It is also imperative to understand that the true “axis of evil” lies in the City of London with the Rothchild’s  (one of the major players), Chatham House and many other outlets being their administrative arm , not forgetting the Committee of 300, especially  the Crown Templar who control governments and the judiciary in the United Kingdom , including their old colonies and empires such as the US and the the Commonwealth etc. The Crown Templar then act for and on behalf of the Pope, the Vatican and their satanic masters the Jesuits.

I find it hard to believe that the main structure of the New World Order was born out of elements of the Puritans who first settled in the US, German Nazi’s (including the dreaded SS), Elite Zionist Mafia, The Knights Templar and the Jesuits in Rome. Don’t you find it incredible that the very people who acted against the Jews during WW2 are now in partnership together and this evil satanic empire are all legally associated with the Vatican.

One must not forget its military arm being – NATO

The Club of Rome Network consists of the International Centre in Winterthur, the National Associations and the European Support Centre in Vienna. The Club of Rome is an international Think Tank which addressed the public first in 1972 with the provoking report “Limits to Growth“ by Donnella Meadows, Dennis Meadows and Jorgen Randers. For the first time, computer based models were used to describe sustainable and desastrous scenarios. The report started an intensive discussion about the future of humankind.Today, National Associations of the Club of Rome with altogether more than 1800 members are working on the “World Problematique” – the complex set of interconnected problems facing humanity. Therefore, their works covers a wide range of themes, ecological, social and economic ones.

Following the tradition of the Club, which avoids administrative overhead (sometimes being called a non-governmental non-organisation) The National Associations are working as networks of active individuals. The Centre in Vienna coordinates their activities, assists in events and conducts projects in cooperation with the Associations and the Club’s Secretariat-General which is located in Winterthur.

The team of the European Support Centre includes:
  • Dr. Thomas Schauer - Director
  • Matthew Aversano -Dearborn- Researcher
  • Martina Behringer - IT Consultant
  • Nadhira Gunatilleke - Researcher
  • Lisbeth Hesse - Researcher
  • Mihai Lala - Project Development Manager

The activities of the ESC are supervised by the Board.
  • Dr. Calin Georgescu (Romania) - Chairman
  • Joan Rosas Xicota (Spain) - Vice Chairman
  • Max Schon (Germany)

The Committee of 300

The Committee of 300 evolved out of the British East India Company’s Council of 300 which was founded in 1727 by the British royal family. For decades the British East India and Dutch East India Companies amassed fortunes from their opium trade with China and now through the Committee of 300 they continue to wage phony drug wars around the world today.
    “There is no need to use ‘they’ or ‘the enemy’ except as shorthand. We know who ‘they,’ the enemy, is. The Committee of 300 with its Eastern Liberal Establishment ‘aristocracy,’ its banks, insurance companies, giant corporations, foundations, communications networks, presided over by a hierarchy of conspirators – this is the enemy.” -John Coleman, “Conspirators Hierarchy”
Dr. John Coleman was an MI6 British Intelligence Agent
    “The Committee of 300 is the ultimate secret society made up of an untouchable ruling class, which includes the Queen of England, the Queen of the Netherlands, the Queen of Denmark and the royal families of Europe. These aristocrats decided at the death of Queen Victoria, the matriarch of the Venetian Black Guelphs that, in order to gain world-wide control, it would be necessary for its aristocratic members to ‘go into business’ with the non-aristocratic but extremely powerful leaders of corporate business on a global scale, and so the doors to ultimate power were opened to what the Queen of England likes to refer to as ‘the commoners.’” -John Coleman.
Some notable members of the Committee of 300 include: The British royal family, Dutch royal family, House of Hapsburg, House of Orange, Duke of Alba, Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh, Lord Carrington, Lord Halifax, Lord Alfred Milner, John Jacob and Waldorf of the Astor Illuminati bloodline, Winston Churchill, Cecil Rhodes, Queen Elizabeth II, Queen Juliana, Queen Beatrix, Queen Magreta, King Haakon of Norway, Colonel Mandel House, Aldous Huxley, John Forbes, Averill Harriman, William and McGeorge Bundy, George Bush, Prescott Bush, Henry Kissinger, J.P. Morgan, Maurice Strong, David Rockefeller, David and Evelyn Rothschild, Paul, Max and Felix Warburg, Ormsby and Al Gore, Bertrand Russell, Sir Earnest and Harry of the Oppenheimer Illuminati bloodline, Warren Buffet, Giuseppe Mazzini, Sir William Hesse, George Schultz, H.G. Wells, and Ted Turner.

In the Committee of 300, which has a 150-year history, we have some of the most brilliant intellects assembled to form a completely totalitarian, absolutely controlled ‘new’ society only it isn’t new, having drawn most of its ideas from the Clubs of Cultus Diabolicus. It strives toward a One World Government.
    “Why should I concern myself with how many die? Even the Christian Bible says what is man that God should be mindful of him? For me men are nothing but a brain at one end and a shit factory at the other.” -Aurellio Peccei “In the case of John F. Kennedy, the assassination was carried out with great attendant publicity and with the utmost brutality to serve as a warning to world leaders not to get out of line. Pope John Paul I was quietly murdered because he was getting close to the Committee of 300 through Freemasons in the Vatican hierarchy. His successor, Pope John Paul II, was publicly humiliated as a warning to cease and desist—which he has done. As we shall see, certain Vatican leaders are today seated on the Committee of 300.” -John Coleman.

Well I guess by now you are starting to see the magnitude of the problem and at the same time ask “How do we stop these Bastards”?

The answer is really very simple:
     ”Follow the money and stop its source and supply”
I am led to believe that this process is very much underway and that a new super power will emerge that hopefully will spread the wealth of the world in a much more balanced way and stop the New World Order in its tracks, that includes ending these unnecessary wars etc.

In Part 5 I will reveal how the New World Order obtains the bulk of its finances via massive fraud and corruption which involves world leaders, senior members of government, CEO of Banks/Financial Institutions most of which is channeled via “Virtual/Shell Companies” (that simply do not exist) and who operate via a network of “Boiler Rooms” in many cities around the world.

It involves “Asset Stripping” and “Insider Trading” and takes investors money for projects/phases in the Oil,Gas and Mining Sectors (which are actually non existent projects) and then channels that money into a multitude of other companies most of which are offshore!!

I will give you a mixed array of classic cases that have and continue to occur and then you will fully understand that the 2008 financial meltdown was no accident but a well orchestrated plan by the New World Order to strip companies, countries and tax payers of everything they own.

9/11 also happened to give the New World Order cabal three  golden opportunities
  • 1. To create a “False Flag Incident” to justify a reason for going to war and make much money
  • 2. To comply with their own long term “Geo Political Plans” to take out at least 7 Islamic countries 
  • 3. To make massive building insurance claims on the World Trade Centre complex
The New World Order in conjunction with the CIA, Mossad, Israel, key Zionist’s, Senior US Government members such as George W Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney etc  and Israel based companies all played their part in 9/11 and it became clear that soon after the attack some Israeli citizens were apprehended by the New Jersey Police and held in custody for some considerable time before being released and deported back to Israel, at least two of the group worked for Mossad and all were found with explosives etc.

It soon became clear that they were the ones responsiblea for 9/11 and that no Islamic Terrorist were involved in much the same way as no Boeing commercial aircraft hit any building. What you observed were well orchestrated computer generated images as far as the twin towers were concerned and it was a cruise missile that hit the Pentagon. No aircraft nose dived into the field at Shanksville in such an heroic way that was the only Boeing that was accounted for when it was hit by missiles by the National Guard, disintegrated in flight and came down in a wooded area (6-8 miles away) from the alleged field. The crew and squadron who carried out this attack were duly awarded at a special medal ceremony.

Here is an extract explaining the attack on United Airlines Flight 93:
    “At precisely 0938 hours, an alarm was sounded at Langley Air Force Base, and those whom were on call, drinking coffee, were scrambled. Thus the 119th Fighter Wing was off for an intercept.
They, the Happy Hooligans, a unit of 3 F-16 aircraft, were ordered to head toward Pennsylvania. At 0957 they spotted their target; After confirmation orders were received, A one Major Rick Gibney fired two sidewinder missiles at the aircraft and destroyed it in mid flight at precisely 0958;

He was awarded a medal from the Governor one year later for his heroic actions. As well as Decorated by Congress on 9/13/2001. The Happy Hooligans were previously stationed in North Dakota, and moved to Langley Air Force base some months before 911 occured on a “Temporary assignment.”

FOX reports Flight 93 shot down by an F-16 from the US National Air Guard – Lt Col Phyllis Phipps-Barnes from DC Air National Guard confirms this fact to FOX reporter: - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMrF1caOmOw

Now take a look at this official video and I am sure you will agree it sounds rather odd, keeping in mind that aircraft were in a position to shoot down UA93:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDfdOwt2v3Y

There is also this coverage which also confirms that the aircraft came down in fragments in a wooded area and not in the field. This confirms another footage I myself saw a long time ago showing a house in the forest that was damaged by the falling wreckage. That clip like many others is no longer available. Take a look at the start of this clip and not its in a wooded area. Note the house and the small crater out front (possible from one of the engines). Then the clip changes from this wooded area out into the field which was not the crash scene at all. The hole in the ground at this second alleged location is part of an original rubbish dump that existed as can be clearly seen in an earlier photograph to prove that Flight UA93 did not crash into the field!! - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maY54MwUsu8

The story below is what I wrote in my own coverage of 9/11 – http://eyreinternational.wordpress.com/2012/05/09/the-greatest-illusion-ever-performed-911-3/

We have the story about the heroic struggle on board UA93 of passenger wrestling with the hijacker and other passengers on the cell phones ringing home. The initial reports indicated that the aircraft had made an almost vertical dive, possibly inverted.

Then we have this eye witness account ( Susan McElwain) of some other aircraft that skimmed low over her car……what was it? - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gliHOhXYFQ

Listen to what the owner of house in the woods had to say:
    Barry Hoover’s cabin, where body parts were found according to Rev. Larry Hoover, is at least one hundred meters from the crater – deep in the woods.  There is no way that pieces of an airliner, luggage, and human remains flew for hundreds of meters through the thickly wooded forest.  The shock wave that devastated the Hoover cottage – and the plane – clearly came from above the woods, not from this crater in the reclaimed mine.  One hundred meters of thick woods would have protected the Hoover house from the shock wave and the trees would have lost much of their foliage.  Apart from the scorched area near the crater, the trees appear to be in good condition.
Barry Hoover, who lives a half-mile from the site, said he saw debris scattered at least a mile wide.
    "There was stuff everywhere back there. It made you want to drop to your knees and cry for those people,” Hoover said.
    “Obviously, I was upset when I saw my house. Who wouldn’t be?” said Hoover, 34, whose home off Lambertsville Road is believed to be the local structure most seriously damaged by the crash. “But you know, it’s a house and there’s nothing there that can’t be replaced. The people who died can’t be replaced.”
Wreckage was still burning and emergency workers were still speeding to the scene when Hoover neared his house.

While it was still standing, every window and door had been blown off and obliterated, its ceilings and floor tiles had been blasted loose and much of the interior was wrecked.
    “It looked like what you see after a tornado or hurricane goes through — a total ruin,” he said.
One must also understand that the property involved belonged to the father of Barry – Rev Larry Hoover who also made the following comments: Rev. Hoover said that he noticed that the garage door of Barry’s house had been blown inside out and backwards, something he thought quite remarkable.

I wanted to know why the existence of the real debris field deep in the woods had been kept hidden so I asked Reverend Hoover, “Why have you been quiet about what happened on your property on 9-11?”
    “We tried to cooperate,” he said.  I knew what he meant without pressing the point.  The FBI agents had given similar orders all over Shanksville and Somerset County.  The Hoovers had been asked not to talk about what had happened on 9-11.  The public was told that the plane had crashed into the reclaimed mine while the real debris field was cleaned up in complete secrecy in the woods around the Hoover cabins.
Why has the real debris field been kept secret?

There can only be one explanation:  the truth about what happened to Flight 93 could not be revealed to the public.  The evidence indicates that Flight 93 was shot out of the sky with a blast that sounded like “an atomic bomb,” as one witness told me.

As a footnote to the above the following was stated by another well respected military man. Colonel Don de Grand-pre claims he spoke face to face with Maj. Rick Gibney and Gibney told him that he was the pilot who shot down Flight 93.

To better understand the magnitude of the governments 9/11 deceit we should all open up our minds to some of the  above snippets  and in doing so possibly change our views and beliefs

Back to the main story again:

It is important for you all to remember that many countries are not under their own control! Many countries are controlled by an unknown entity called the Crown Templar, most of these being the US, UK and the old British Empire/Commonwealth!

We have all seen the fall of Ireland, Italy, Greece, Spain, Portugal and now Cyprus with the New World Order bailout taking place via their own World Bank/IMF who then seize monitory control and force the sovereign governments to impose harsht  austerity measures. They then siphon off more tax payers money and then take the peoples/investors money out of the banks (that they themselves  intentionally collapsed), leaving that country in permanent debt to the IMF (New World Order).

It is worth remembering that (Cyprus') Laiki Bank (about to be shut down) shows one very interesting paragraph on its webpage:
    Laiki Bank is headquartered in Cyprus and operates under the control and supervision of the Central Bank of Cyprus.
The Central Bank of Cyprus is yet another very large private sector bank that is directly controlled by the Rothschild’s.

My question would therefore have to be how did the major bank giant (Rothschild’s) allow one of its own controlled and supervised bank to fail into such a dramatic way, was it a case of asset stripping?

Rothschild’s have historically been connected to such skullduggery and I think the citizens of Cyprus should seriously be asking many questions!

Governor of the Central Bank of Cyprus – Panicos O. Demetriades

Maybe it should also be pointed out that The Governor of the Central Bank of Cyprus, Panicos O. Demetriades has historically been connected with the cabal when he worked for the World Bank and the IMF. The troubles at Laiki go back a long way and it is clear that this bank like many others around the world may have fallen on their own sword. One thing is for sure, Cyprus is now under the firm control of the New World Order via one of its major players the Rothschild’s and now the IMF. So what’s new?

Samaras: Greece΄s Position Is Gaining Strength

Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras was upbeat on Monday as he announced that negotiations between the Greek government and the troika of Greece΄s creditors had concluded with an agreement clinched late on Sunday night for the disbursement of 2.6 billion euros in bailout loans to Greece.
    "As uncertainty and concern escalate throughout the world, Greece is stabilising and its position is becoming stronger," Samaras commented, noting that the way was now open for the payment of the next bailout trance of 6.0 billion euros in May.
According to AMNA, the prime minister said that the government΄s goal for this year was a primary surplus that would allow Greece to ask for a further reduction in debt. He also highlighted a number of positive policy measures agreed with the troika, which he said would help alleviate the difficulties of over-indebted businesses and households.

Among them he listed more flexible settlements with a greater number of installments for paying off taxes and social insurance contributions, new measures for low-income households with excessive debts and the reduction, for the first time, of the tax on property levied through electricity bills, which will be 15 percent lower in 2013.
    "In addition, the Single Property Tax that will go into effect from next year, from 2014, will be independent of PPC bills and will be one of the lowest in Europe," he added, also announcing that work to broaden the tax base would start in 2013 and be completed in 2014, ensuring a fairer distribution of the tax burden.
The prime minister said that reductions of more tax rates will be examined at the next review of Greece΄s fiscal adjustment programme in June, such as VAT rates charged for catering and restaurant services, and announced plans for programmes using EU community funds to support the jobless and households with no working members, as well as the start of pilot programmes to provide a minimum guaranteed income and health care to 100,000 long-term uninsured citizens.

PM: "Sacrifices beginning to take effect, change is coming"

Wrapping up his statements, Samaras appeared confident that the sacrifices made by Greeks have begun to take effect and that a change, which would soon become apparent to ever more people, was coming.
    "I΄m not saying that the difficulties are all behind us, far from it. I am saying, however, that the sacrifices are beginning to take effect. That the situation has started to change," he emphasised.
Noting that the government was fighting to bring investments and economic recovery, he pointed out that Greece had already improved its rankings in international competitiveness, climbing up 22 places, that inflation was among the lowest in the Eurozone and that the country expected a bumper year for tourism.
    "In a short while, Greece will no longer depend on the memorandums. It will be growth-oriented, competitive and outward-looking. A Greece that is strong," he underlined.
Samaras appeared satisfied with the results of the negotiations with the troika, noting that this was the first time that ΄budgetary gaps΄ were covered without additional austerity measures.

He said that the troika΄s report acknowledged that Greece was meeting its targets, with both the 2012 budget and the first quarter of 2013 surpassing forecasts, while the payment of overdue debts to the public sector had already begun and bank recapitalisation will be concluded in the next weeks. This will restore liquidity to the market and stop the six-year-long recession, he added.

The prime minister warned that 2013 will be a difficult year because all the failures of previous years had to be addressed and reforms that were decades overdue had to be completed.
    "However, we are finally attaining our targets and the programme itself is starting to improve," he stressed.
    "A few months ago, we changed the ΄external΄ terms of the loan agreement: we obtained a new haircut of our debt, a reduction in interest rates to about half what we were paying in 2010, a suspension of the payment of interest and nominal capital. We managed to obtain the biggest debt restructuring ever carried out in history. And we did this without an intervening default that had been ΄chasing΄ us for years. Now we are starting to change the terms of economic policy within the country," Samaras said.
The prime minister especially highlighted the fact that, at a time when insecurity was spreading and other countries feared a haircut of their bank deposits, Greece had fully secured the capital adequacy of its banks, security of its deposits and, very soon, also liquidity for the Greek economy.

He repeated that Greece΄s primary goal was to emerge from the crisis and bailout memorandums but stay in the euro and the ΄inner core΄ of Europe.

Public sector lay-offs

Commenting on a programme to shed 15,000 public-sector jobs by the end of 2014, with 4,000 scheduled to go by the end of the current year, the prime minister clarified that the measure concerned employees "with convictions for criminal or disciplinary offences or who leave voluntarily or whose positions are abolished".

He emphasised, however, that each of these would be replaced by an equal number of younger people chosen based on their qualifications and merit, with one young person hired form everyone leaving.
    "This is not the ΄human sacrifice΄, as some claim...it is a qualitative improvement of the public sector. And it is a demand of Greek society," Samaras emphasised.

Avramopoulos On Bombing Attack At Boston Marathon

Greek Foreign Minister Dimitris Avramopoulos made the following statement from London when he found out the news about the bombing attack at the Boston Marathon:
    “The Greek government expresses its absolute condemnation and abhorrence of the barbarous attack on the Boston Marathon.
    It is an attack on all of us. Against the symbolism of the Marathon and the values it represents.
    In these difficult hours, our thoughts are with the injured and the families of the victims.
    Greece stands at your side.”

AEK Fans Interupt Game - Clash With Police (VIDEO)

AEK football fans clashed with police at the Irini train station on Sunday night, after interrupting the game at the adjacent Olympic Stadium when AEK scored a goal against itself in favour of rival Panthrakikos team. The fans interrupted the game by entering the sporting arena, forcing players and referees to seek refuge in the locker room area.

A report from the state news agency said that they damaged seats in the VIP section and then clashed with police outside the stadium who used chemicals and flashbangs. The fans retreated to the train station, where they clashed with police again.

Ierissos Arson Attack Suspects Fail To Convince Prosecution

Two residents from the town of Ierissos in Halkidiki were temporarily remanded on Sunday after testifying before a prosecutor and examining magistrate in Thessaloniki on Sunday. Press reports said that the two detainees,who were recently arrested for implication in the February attack against a Hellenic Gold mining facility in nearby Skouries, denied the felony charge against them and failed to convince the prosecutor and examining magistrate who unanimously decided on their detention.

The two are accused of taking part in the February 17 attack on the gold-mining facility in Skouries, based on genetic material collected from a woolen hood found near the site, which implicated one of the suspects, and a ballistics examination that matched a shotgun found in the home of the second suspect with bullets collected from the site. The charges are for seven felonies and 11 misdemeanors, including involvement in a criminal organisation, attempted homicide, possession of explosive material, arson and theft.

While this was going on, fellow residents from Ierissos had gathered outside the police headquarters in Thessaloniki in a show of solidarity with the two suspects. Defying the rain, hundreds demonstrated under stringent security measures and demanded their release.

One day earlier, protesters demonstrated in downtown Athens over the Hellenic Gold mining operations in Halkidiki, and the arrest of the two residents. The demonstration, which marched to Syntagma Square, created traffic problems in surrounding streets before dispersing.
