Third Balkan War on the Horizon.


If the UN and the EU fail to seriously address the issue of Albanian land-grabbing terrorism, the malignancy will spread and grip not only all of Serbia but the entire Balkans.

Albanian separatist-terrorist movement will not be satiated with the secession of Kosovo and Metohija province from Serbia, but it will extend its tentacles to rob parts of FYR of Macedonia, Montenegro, Greece and south-eastern Serbia. That will inevitably lead to armed conflicts, which is an introduction to the Third Balkan War. History has shown that the borders in the Balkans were never changed by peaceful means, but through the long and difficult wars.


This bleak projection was expressed in the interview given to Revija 92 by Professor Dr. Radoslav Gaćinović, scientific advisor to the Institute for Political Studies in Belgrade and the international terrorism expert.

Professor Dr. Radoslav Gaćinović is the scientific advisor of the Institute for Political Studies in Belgrade and the international expert for security and counter-terrorism. He defended his dissertation thesis fifteen years ago at the Faculty of Law in Belgrade, on the topic “International terrorism and security of Yugoslavia”. He is the author of a number of books, such as “Countering diversion activities”, “Terrorism and propaganda”, “How to fight against terrorism”, “Contemporary terrorism”, “Violence in Yugoslavia”, “Seizing Kosovo and Metohija,” “Terrorism”, “Anti-terrorism”, “Introduction to the security studies”, and the most recent “Political violence and globalization”.


Q: Will Balkan become a powder keg once again, as Juval Aviv, Israeli Mossad agent recently said?


RG: In the criminal and security terms, Balkan is currently the most unkempt region in Europe. Albanian terrorism simply seeped into every cell of the remaining Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija and they live in total fear. For them, Balkans broke out in flames long time ago.
It is true, however, that Israeli intelligence service monitors the situation in the Balkans and cooperates with Western intelligence services, but the public statements of top information agents are far from the actual situation on the ground. Being that the disintegrating processes in the Balkans have not yet been completed, it is realistic to still expect a number of uncertainties in terms of security.

Q: Will Serbia be the target of terrorist attacks (so-called “Army of the Republic of Kosovo” has taken responsibility for the recent attack on the EULEX office in Priština) or will the Serbs in Kosovo-Metohija continue to be the only targets?

RG: Since Kosovo and Metohija are Serbian territory, Serbia is continuing to be the target of terrorist attacks, and it is also possible that the terrorism expands to Serbia proper. Terrorist activities are unpredictable, terrorism is like a phoenix phenomenon: as soon as you start thinking it’s gone, it reappears.
My assessment is that the main target of attacks in Kosovo-Metohija will be the remaining Serbs until Albanian terrorists establish ethnically clean territory in the entire southern Serbian province. After that, they will attack international security forces if they refuse to serve Shiptar [Kosovo Albanian] separatist-terrorist movement. If EULEX in Kosovo-Metohija really takes its mission seriously and disallows violence against the Serbs and secession of the province, they will be attacked en masse and purged from this region. The recent attack on EULEX headquarters in Priština is only a warning to the UN and EU.

Q: Who is financing the “Army of Republic of Kosovo”?

RG: Financing of the Shiptar [Kosovo Albanian] forces in Kosovo and Metohija was approached in a very responsible manner. Shiptar mafia allocates 125-150 million dollars annually for Kosovo and Metohija secession and over 25 million dollars for the so-called “Kosovo Protection Corps”. During the past nine years, the international community has given 2,3 billion Euros to Shiptars in Kosovo and Metohija. Albanian funds “Fatherland Calling”, “Freedom for the People”, “Kosova Fund”, etc. are very active organizations worldwide and their only task is to collect as much money as possible for secession of Kosovo province. In addition, Republic of Serbia owns around 220 billion dollars’ value in Kosovo-Metohija, but unfortunately Shiptars have placed that money in the service of an “independent state of Kosovo”. Behind these formations and all activities of Shiptar political elites stands primarily United States and those countries which have recognized their unilateral act of secession, i.e. those who are snatching 15 percent of Serbian territory.

Q: What is their ultimate goal?

RG: Albanian separatist-terrorist movement represents danger to the security of the Balkans, because they will not be satisfied by the secession of Kosovo and Metohija from Serbia alone. In the first stage, they will exercise all kinds of activities to create the “greater Kosovo” out of parts of FYR of Macedonia, Montenegro and south-east Serbia.
After that, they will most likely form some type of union with Albania. In this case, the territory under the Albanian control would be the size of Bosnia and Herzegovina, or around 50,000 square meters. Creation of such Albanian state in the Balkans would encourage further ethnic arrogance of the Albanians. This will be the source of an open clash with Serbia or any of these other countries, which would inevitably lead to the Third Balkan War.
This is a warning to the UN and EU to seriously address Albanian land-grabbing issue in the Balkans. And also to all the political elites in Serbia, that the numbers in the state army must be kept up to the necessary levels, because the disintegration processes have not even started, and history testifies that borders in the Balkans were never changed by the peaceful means, but through the long and difficult wars.

Q: Is the fear that terrorism will take hold here justified and how can that be prevented?

RG: Serbia has a strategy of deterring and response strategy. Strategy of deterring means a very respectable military force, trained and equipped with modern weapons and equipment, which will not attack anyone, but with its strength it will represent a deterrence factor to potential attackers, while, at the same time, it will also be a factor of stability in the Balkans. That presupposes total political consensus when it comes to national interests and a very wise foreign policy. A response strategy includes the state’s ability for resolute and swift response by all the allowed and available means in the case of terrorist attack.

Serbia will Never Enter the EU

Q: Will Belgrade become the target of Shiptar terrorists?

RG: They don’t want to come to Belgrade to commit terrorist acts. There is, however, danger of members of al-Qaeda doing it in their name, or the members of other Islamic terrorist organizations.

Q: Are Albanians in Belgrade lying in wait?

RG: The majority of Albanians who live in Serbia proper are economically well off. They have their own trades and shops, and some own major businesses, so they are seemingly indifferent to the political situation in the Balkans, but they very much support the general interests of their national community. Regarding Shiptars in Belgrade, no one is so naive to cut the branch on which he sits comfortably.

Q: Recently, Shiptar hackers attacked the web site of Raska-Prizren Diocese [Kosovo-Metohija and Raska region], where they glorified Islam and “united Albanian states”. What is behind that provocation?

RG: That is another method of intimidating Serbs remaining in Kosovo and Metohija and the Eastern Orthodox clergy. Cyber-terrorism in a very cruel way reminds Serbs that the events of the March 17 can be repeated and that they are unwanted in the province.

Q: Is this situation in Kosovo and Metohija slowing down Serbia’s joining the European Union?

RG: Serbia will never enter the EU and there is a reason for that. In a letter Willy Wimmer had sent to the German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder in 2000, as the President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the OSCE, under the point no. 8, he stresses that Serbia must remain permanently excluded from the European development in order to secure unobstructed American military presence in the Balkans. Americans, in fact, are seizing parts of Serbia in order to compensate for the “error” of General Eisenhower from the Second World War, to have American soldiers stationed on the stolen Serbian territory.
In order for Serbia to enter the EU, it must have good neighborly relations with all the EU member states. Since almost all of them have recognized the independence of Kosovo, before entering the EU Serbia would also have to recognize the secession and to establish diplomatic relations with that so-called state. No Serb will ever have either the legality or legitimacy to do that. I would replace the political slogan “Europe has no alternative” with the desire of the majority of Serbian citizens: “Sovereignty of Serbia has no alternative.”
Muslim Bosnia and Kosovo Province Seething with Islamic Terrorists.

Q: A large number of Islamic fanatics remained in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Will they join their Shiptar equivalents?

RG: Mujahedeens which the UN calls “God’s lunatics” have stayed on to live in Bosnia after the war ended. There are currently around 30,000 of them. Reports by the international security forces stationed in Bosnia claim that more than 50 percent of the members of the Muslim military forces are linked with mujahedeens. Because of these trends, Muslim part of Bosnia must be under permanent control of the international forces, so that the activities of mujahedeens and the Islamic terrorists are kept under control.
Islamic Route ["transferzala"], which was designed to connect Asia Minor with the most prominent Islamic enclave in Europe — and that is Cazin in Bosnia — represents a great danger to the security of Europe. This route toward Central Europe is an inroad for the smooth influx of the Islamic terrorists, drugs, weapons, white slaves… In order to achieve that goal, Islamic fanatics who stayed in Bosnia will most certainly support all the actions of Kosovo Shiptars.
Sooner or later, Europe will be forced to face the problem coming primarily from Kosovo and Metohija. Unfortunately though, its reaction is already very late.
Americans Pulling all the Strings in the Balkans.

Q: Shirley C. DioGuardi, Balkan Affairs Advisor to the Albanian-American Civic League and wife of Joseph DioGuardi, the most fanatical Albanian lobbyist in U.S, is issuing public calls to Albanian leaders in Priština to start the “strong counteroffensive against Serbia”…?

RG: Albanian lobby in United States was founded in January 1989, and called “Albanian-American civic league” (AACL), as a non-profit organization which aims to “actively lobby in the legislative and executive organ of power in the United States”, in accordance with US laws. Its founder and president is the former U.S. congressman of Italian/Albanian origin, Joseph Joe DioGuardi, who opened the “Kosovo issue” before the U.S. Congress in 1985.
Joe DioGuardi and Antal Tom Lantos were in 1989 the first American politicians who visited Albania after the Second World War, and the following year they went to Kosovo and Metohija for the first time, with Bob Dole and six other senators. Shirley DioGuardi’s activities were intensified in the last ten years. Her latest offensive encourages Shiptar terrorists to organize a new wave of terror. None of Serbian officials has ever said that all Albanians are Islamic fundamentalists. It is difficult to predict the ultimate intentions of Shirley DioGuardi against Serbia and the Balkans, but they certainly do not lead to peace and stability, but to further violence and aggravation of the situation in the Balkans. It is an indisputable fact that Americans are pulling all the strings of the Balkan crisis and of the region’s instability. However, it is also certain that Russians will not stay on the sidelines either when it comes to Balkans, which is increasingly falling under the sphere of big powers’ interest. Hence, in the coming period political and military instability of the region is inevitable.

Unprecedented Wave of Terror.

Q: What are the crimes Albanian terrorists have committed in Kosovo-Metohija?

RG: Since the arrival of KFOR to Kosovo and Metohija (from June 10, 1999) until the end of 2005, armed terrorist groups of Shiptars have committed a total of 7,757 terrorist attacks. In these actions, members of the KLA have killed 1,252 Serbs, wounded 2,237 and kidnapped 1,150. They completely destroyed or visibly damaged 150 Serbian churches and monasteries. 144 prison camps were discovered, in which Serbs were illegally detained, tortured, abused and killed.
Since June 1999 until the end of November 2003, 5,100 of the Serbian gravestones were destroyed in Kosovo-Metohija, value of which is estimated at over 5 million euros. In this period 250,000 non-Albanians were expelled from Kosovo-Metohija province, 107,000 houses and apartments owned by the Serbs were torched or stolen, and their value is estimated at about 5 billion and 350 million euros.

Q: Which country is the leader of Islamic fundamentalism?

RG: In the past 25 years, Saudi Arabia was the biggest driving force of Islamic fundamentalism, and its so-called charitable organizations were channeling hundreds of millions of dollars to jihad and al-Qaeda organizations all over the world, and they are especially interested in the inroads of the “Green Route” (”Zelena transferzala”).
It is estimated that around 70 billion dollars from Saudi Arabia were spent on spreading the Wahhabi sects, fundamentalism and jihad in the world. With this money some 1,500 mosques were built, 210 Islamic centers, 202 Islamic universities and 2,000 schools, all in non-Islamic countries. Only in 1994, according to the estimates of the embassy in Riyadh, Saudi donors have sent 150 million dollars through the Islamic organizations to the Muslims in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Της ΙΩΑΝΝΑΣ ΝΙΑΩΤΗ

Κατακόρυφη αύξηση των κακοποιήσεων στο Γκουαντάναμο, μετά την εκλογή Ομπάμα και τη δέσμευσή του για κλείσιμο της φυλακής, καταγγέλλουν οι συνήγοροι των κρατουμένων, αποκαλύπτοντας μία ακόμη φρικιαστική διάσταση.

«Οι εντολές βασανιστηρίων», λένε, «δεν έρχονται από ψηλά. Αυτόνομα οι φύλακες αναλαμβάνουν δράση, γιατί διασκεδάζουν». Ξυλοδαρμοί. Εξαρθρώσεις μελών. Αναγκαστική σίτιση σε όσους κάνουν απεργία πείνας.

Αναγκαστική χορήγηση υπακτικών για την πρόκληση συνεχούς διάρροιας. Ψεκασμός στα ρουθούνια με σπρέι πιπεριού. Ψεκασμός του χαρτιού υγείας με σπρέι πιπεριού. Δεν είναι η πρώτη φορά που οι τρόποι βασανισμού των κρατουμένων στο Γκουαντάναμο αποκαλύπτονται. Είναι όμως η πρώτη φορά που η οργάνωση «Reprieve», νομικοί σύμβουλοι της οποίας εκπροσωπούν 31 από τους 241 κρατουμένους, καταγγέλλει κατακόρυφη αύξηση των βασανιστηρίων με πρωτοβουλία των δεσμοφυλάκων τους.
Φωτο: http://www.europarl.europa.eu/

Δεν μπορώ να φανταστώ πώς άνθρωποι ικανοποιούνται βασανίζοντας συνανθρώπους τους, όμως συμβαίνει», δηλώνει ο Αχμέντ Γκαπούρ, συνήγορος αρκετών κρατουμένων. Ο Γκαπούρ, που εργάστηκε πυρετωδώς για την απελευθέρωση του Μπινιάμ Μοχάμεντ, έχει επισκεφτεί τουλάχιστον 6 φορές το Γκουαντάναμο τους τελευταίους 5 μήνες. Η «Reprieve» στηρίζει την καταγγελία της στις προσωπικές μαρτυρίες του Γκαπούρ, απ' όσα του εκμυστηρεύονται οι κρατούμενοι αλλά και σε συνομιλίες που είχε ο Αμερικανοβρετανός δικηγόρος με φύλακες που παραδέχθηκαν τη δράση τους, χωρίς μάλιστα να ανησυχούν για τις συνέπειες.


«Μου περιέγραψαν την ικανοποίηση που νιώθουν όταν κακοποιούν κρατουμένους. Είτε πρόκειται για κάτι πιο απλό, όπως για παράδειγμα παρενοχλήσεις κατά τη διάρκεια της προσευχής, είτε για σωματική κακοποίηση», είπε χαρακτηριστικά ο Γκαπούρ. Τόνισε επίσης ότι σε αρκετές περιπτώσεις οι κρατούμενοι κακοποιούνται λίγες μόνο ώρες προτού συναντηθούν με τους συνηγόρους τους, ώστε να φοβούνται «τα χειρότερα» εάν αποκαλύψουν τι συμβαίνει. Εκπρόσωπος του Πενταγώνου ανακοίνωσε ότι το τελευταίο διάστημα έχουν λάβει και έχουν μελετήσει νέες εκθέσεις για τις συνθήκες κράτησης στο Γκουαντάναμο, αλλά το συμπέρασμα στο οποίο κατέληξαν είναι ότι «τηρούνται οι επιταγές της Συνθήκης της Γενεύης».

Συνάντηση Χριστόφια – Ταλάτ.


Στα κριτήρια για τη διευθέτηση του περιουσιακού
επικεντρώθηκαν για μία ακόμη φορά οι συζητήσεις κατά τη διάρκεια της συνάντησης που είχαν σήμερα οι ηγέτες των δύο κοινοτήτων της Κύπρου Δημήτρης Χριστόφιας και Μεχμέτ Αλί Ταλάτ, στο πλαίσιο των απευθείας διαπραγματεύσεων για το Κυπριακό.

Μετά την συνάντηση ο κ. Χριστόφιας απέφυγε να κάνει δηλώσεις ενώ, ο Ειδικός Αντιπρόσωπος του ΓΓ του ΟΗΕ στην Κύπρο, Ταγιέ Μπρουν Ζεριχούν, σε ερώτηση αν συνεχίζεται η συζήτηση επί των κριτηρίων και όχι επί της ουσίας του περιουσιακού, είπε ότι οι δύο ηγέτες άρχισαν ανταλλαγή απόψεων πάνω στις αρχές που θα διέπουν τη συζήτηση και κατά τις δύο τελευταίες τους συναντήσεις συζητούν για τα κριτήρια, που θα καθορίζουν τις παραμέτρους υπό τις οποίες θα συνεχιστεί η συζήτηση.

Επίσης, δεν απέκλεισε το ενδεχόμενο η συζήτηση να γίνει μεταξύ των συμβούλων των δύο ηγετών, Γιώργου Ιακώβου και Οζντίλ Ναμί, ενώ είπε ότι η συζήτηση επί του περιουσιακού θα συνεχιστεί στην επόμενη συνάντηση των ηγετών που θα πραγματοποιηθεί την Πέμπτη 5 Μαρτίου και θα είναι η τελευταία για το συγκεκριμένο θέμα.

Μετά από τη συνάντηση της 5ης Μαρτίου, οι κ.κ. Χριστόφιας και Ταλάτ θα αρχίσουν τη συζήτηση θεμάτων, που αφορούν την Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση.

Γιατί ο όρος ασύμμετρη απειλή αναπτύχτηκε τις δυο τελευταίες δεκαετίες; τι συμβαίνει τις δυο τελευταίες δεκαετίες στα βαλκάνια;



Κατά την περίοδο του ψυχρού πολέμου μεταξύ Ρωσίας και Αμερικής υπεγράφη στην Ελλάδα μυστική συμφωνία με την κωδική ονομασία “Κόκκινη Προβιά”, γνωστή σε άλλες ευρωπαϊκές χώρες ως Gladio, stay behind κλπ., η οποία προέβλεπε την απευθείας συνεργασία των ελληνικών ειδικών δυνάμεων καταδρομών με την CIA.


Αναδημοσίευση από το http://www.nationalpride.wordpress.com/


Η συμφωνία προέβλεπε την τοπική στρατολόγηση από τον τοπικό πληθυσμό μιας δυνάμεως 2200 ανδρών βορείως του Αλιάκμονος και μια εφεδρική δύναμη 1500 ανδρών στην κεντρική και νότια Ελλάδα. με την συνεργασία και τις οδηγίες πρακτόρων της CIA είχε δημιουργηθεί σταδιακά σε ολόκληρη την χώρα ένα δίκτυο από 160 κρύπτες μυστικού πολέμου και από 827 ανορθόδοξου πολέμου.

Στις κρύπτες μυστικού πολέμου είχαν εναποθηκευτεί εκρηκτικά, υλικά για δολιοφθορές, υλικό για ψυχολογικό πόλεμο, τηλεπικοινωνιακό υλικό και όπλα κυρίως σοβιετικής προελεύσεως τα οποία προορίζονταν για επιθέσεις εναντίον επιλεγμένων στόχων για να φανεί ότι οι επιθέσεις αυτές ήταν έργο των κομμουνιστών ή να δράσουν αναλόγως στο πολιτικό status. σύμφωνα με τους ανθρώπους που βρήκαν τις κρύπτες αυτές ήταν τεράστιες και περιελάμβαναν μέχρι και βλήματα όλμων.


Η εθνικά απαράδεκτη άμεση και μυστική σύνδεση μιας ξένης υπηρεσίας πληροφοριών με ένα επίλεκτο τμήμα του ελληνικού στρατού αποτελούσε εν δυνάμει διαρκή κίνδυνο για την δημοκρατική νομιμότητα και παρείχε στις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες την δυνατότητα να ελέγχουν τις πολιτικές εξελίξεις στην Ελλάδα.

Είναι βέβαιο ότι σε αυτούς τους μηχανισμούς στηρίχτηκαν οι πραξικοπηματίες της 21ης Απριλίου 1967 για να καταλύσουν το δημοκρατικό πολίτευμα της χώρας και να εδραιώσουν την 7χρονη παραμονή τους στην εξουσία.

Ο Κλεάνθης Γρίβας ψυχίατρος, διδάκτωρ ψυχιατρικής και συγγραφέας του βιβλίου “τρομοκρατία, ένα προνομιούχο μέσο άσκησης πολιτικής - το ΝΑΤΟ και η επιχείρηση Gladio “, υποστηρίζει πως δεν έκλεισε ποτέ το θέμα κόκκινη προβιά στην Ελλάδα. υποστηρίζει επίσης πως η επιχείρηση “κόκκινη προβιά” δεν χρησιμοποιήθηκε για την αντιμετώπιση του υποτιθέμενου κομμουνιστικού κινδύνου αλλά για την διαφοροποίηση κατά το δοκούν του εσωτερικού πολιτικού σκηνικού!

Σύμφωνα με τις δηλώσεις του Τζιμ Ντόνοβαν (CIA): “ο κομμουνιστικός κίνδυνος στην Ευρώπη ουδέποτε υπήρξε, αλλά πρέπει να χρησιμοποιηθεί για να καθυποταγεί πολιτικά η Ευρώπη”.

Σύμφωνα και με τα στοιχεία του Ντάνιελ Γκάνζερ, επικεφαλής ερευνητή του ινστιτούτου σύγχρονης ιστορίας της πολυτεχνικής σχολής της Ζυρίχης τα οποία αποκαλύπτονται στο βιβλίο του: “Οι κρυφοί στρατοί του ΝΑΤΟ, η οργάνωση Gladio και η τρομοκρατία στην Δυτική Ευρώπη”, αποδεικνύεται πως μετά από απόφαση του ευρωπαϊκού κοινοβουλίου για διερεύνηση του θέματος οι μοναδικές χώρες που συγκρότησαν κοινοβουλευτικές επιτροπές ήταν η Ιταλία, το Βέλγιο, η Γερμανία και η Ελβετία. Στην Ελλάδα όπως και στις υπόλοιπες ευρωπαϊκές χώρες ακόμα και στην Τουρκία το θέμα θάφτηκε από τους πολιτικούς και δεν διερευνήθηκε ποτέ!

Οι ενέργειες που έγιναν από αυτές τις “ασύμμετρες” νεοφασιστικές οργανώσεις από την εποχή του ΄90 που υποτίθεται ότι τελείωσε το θέμα μέχρι και σήμερα είναι άγνωστες, γίνεται όμως αντιληπτή η ύπαρξη του δικτύου από τις προβοκάτσιες που παίζονται κάθε τόσο μέσω των ΜΜΕ αλλά και μέσω του διαδικτύου.

Στην εκπομπή παρουσιάζεται εκτενής συνέντευξη που παραχώρησε ο ίδιος ο Γκάνζερ στο κανάλι. Το σχέδιο είναι εφαρμογή της τακτικής του Τίτο και ένας από τους βασικούς στόχους του είναι η καλλιέργεια της απειλής, η τρομοκράτηση του κόσμου για πιθανή εισβολή ξένων δυνάμεων, κομμουνιστών τότε, μελών της αλ-κάϊντα σήμερα, πράγμα που υπονομεύει και σαμποτάρει την καθαρή μορφή λαϊκού αγώνα.

Για την καλλιέργεια απειλής τα τελευταία χρόνια, έχοντας υπ΄όψιν και την αλλαγή των συνθηκών και των δυνατοτήτων που έχει σήμερα ο άνθρωπος, έχουν οργανωθεί διάφορες ομάδες δήθεν αντιεξουσιαστών δήθεν κομμουνιστών οι οποίοι καλυπτόμενοι από μια “κόκκινη προβιά” προωθούν την φοβία προς την εξουσία, συγκεντρώνοντας και διαμοιράζοντας προπαγανδιστικό υλικό, παραπληροφορώντας τον λαό και δημιουργώντας στέκια αναρχισμού. λύκοι με προβιά προβάτου. Με αυτόν τον τρόπο καταλύεται η δημοκρατία και η κοινωνία οδεύει σταδιακά προς πραξικόπημα. Από την άλλη οι κλοπές όπλων που παρατηρούνται σε ελληνικά στρατόπεδα είναι αναρίθμητες.

Η ιστορία ξεκινά μετά τον εμφύλιο. Ο δημοσιογράφος Κώστας Μπαξεβάνης (το κουτί της Πανδώρας) με βάση την έρευνα που έχει κάνει δηλώνει στην εκπομπή πως δεν πρόκειται για κομμάτι του ελληνικού στρατού, πρόκειται για 7500 στρατιώτες στην πλειοψηφία τους πολίτες που στρατολογούν με όρκο. Οι άγγλοι ξεχώρισαν και εκπαίδευσαν γύρω στα δέκα άτομα στα οποία ανέθεσαν την δημιουργία του στρατού, ανάμεσα στους οποίους ήταν ο Δροσογιάννης και ο Νατσινας, μετέπειτα διοικητής της ΚΥΠ και δεξί χέρι του Κωνσταντίνου Καραμανλή και ο Μανώλης Ζαχαράκης, επίσης διοικητής της ΚΥΠ. οι άνθρωποι αυτοί επάνδρωσαν το σχέδιο Α, το οποίο προέβλεπε επέμβαση στην Αλβανία για την ανατροπή του καθεστώτος του Χότζα.

Ήρθαν στην Ελλάδα και εκπαίδευσαν γύρω στους 800 αντιφρονούντες βορειοηπειρώτες στον Όλυμπο. Ο πρώτος κορμός του μυστικού πολέμου δημιουργήθηκε στην Ήπειρο με επικεφαλής τον αρχιεπίσκοπο Σεραφείμ. Ο πρώτος πυρήνας δημιουργείται, με ανθρώπους που φτάνουν από την Μέση Ανατολή, το Ιδέα.

Είναι οι άνθρωποι που παίζουν βασικό καθοριστικό ρόλο στο Κυπριακό και σε πολιτικές δολοφονίες της εποχής εκείνης συμπεριλαμβανομένου και του Γιορκατζή. Αντίστοιχο δίκτυο υπήρχε και στην Κύπρο υπό τον Γιορκατζή ο οποίος αργότερα δολοφονήθηκε όταν κάποιοι υπέθεσαν ότι θα άνοιγε το στόμα του. Το αντίστοιχο τουρκοκυπριακό δίκτυο ήταν υπό τον Ραούλ Ντενκτάς. Στην κρίσιμη περίοδο των κυπριακών επεισοδίων τα δυο δίκτυα δημιουργούν προβοκάτσιες και εμπλέκουν και τις δυο πλευρές ακόμα και σε πόλεμο, όπως έγινε το 1964 και 1974. Έχουμε ακόμα εμπλοκή στην “βία και νοθεία”, στην προβοκάτσια στον Γοργοπόταμο το ΄64, στην δολοφονία Λαμπράκη και σαφώς στα πραξικοπήματα. Έχουμε σαφώς εμπλοκή με νεοφασίστες έχουμε σαφώς εμπλοκή με τις βομβιστικές επιθέσεις του ΄70 στην Αθήνα.

Από απόρρητα έγγραφα προκύπτει ότι, οι άνθρωποι που κατέθεσαν υποτυπωδώς στον κ. Σουνδια για την υπόθεση διερωτήθηκαν από τον ανακριτή, τι σχέση έχει το δίκτυο με το Γοργοπόταμο, με την έκρηξη στο ξενοδοχείο Πλοτίνι στην Θράκη, με την έκρηξη της βόμβας στην Μυτιλήνη στο δημοτικό θέατρο (υπόθεση Παυλη) και με το πραξικόπημα. Πολλοί από τους ανθρώπους αυτούς στάθηκαν και στέκονται ακόμα διπλά στην πολιτική ηγεσία όλων των κομμάτων. Μιλάμε για ένα κανονικό παρακράτος που κινδυνεύει να μην αποκαλυφθεί ποτέ γιατί:

α) περιλαμβάνει το σύνολο σχεδόν της ηγεσίας του ελληνικού στρατού, ενός μεγάλου μέρους των πολιτικών της Ελλάδος, αρχηγών εκκλησιαστικών οργανώσεων, της Εκκλησιάς της ίδιας, πολιτιστικών οργανώσεων, δημοσιογράφων και ότι άλλο μπορεί να φανταστεί κανείς και:


β) γιατί σαφώς πολλοί από τους ανθρώπους αυτούς είναι ακόμα “εν χρήση”.
Αξίζει να σημειωθεί πως η Gladio, το αντίστοιχο δίκτυο που λειτουργούσε στην Ιταλία περιστοιχιζόταν από την μασονική στοά Π2 και από αυτούς που αργότερα αποτέλεσαν την νέα τάξη των ακροφασιστών.

Ο Βαγγέλης Χωραφάς του περιοδικό Monthly review http://www.monthlyreview.gr/antilogos/greek/

επισημαίνει πως οι Αμερικανοί εδώ και αρκετό καιρό έχουν ένα συγκεκριμένο σχέδιο “αποκαταστάσεως” της δημοκρατίας με τα λεγόμενα “βελούδινα πραξικοπήματα”. Είναι αυτό το οποίο είδαμε στην Γιουγκοσλαβία, στην Ουκρανία, στην Γεωργία και αυτό το οποίο βλέπουμε να εξελίσσεται αυτή την στιγμή στην Λευκορωσία, στην Βενεζουέλα, στην Μπούρμα και αλλού. Αυτό γίνεται κυρίως μέσα από τις λεγόμενες μη κυβερνητικές οργανώσεις. Υπάρχουν ισχυρά κέντρα χρηματοδοτήσεως στις ΗΠΑ και υπάρχουν επίσης ισχυρά συντονιστικά κέντρα. Ένα από αυτά είναι το κέντρο Αλβέρτος Αϊνστάιν, ένα κέντρο “μη βίας”, ιδρυθέν από τον Τζιμ Σαρπ, καθηγητή του Χάρβαρντ, το οποίο εν συνεχεία περιήλθε στην δικαιοδοσία της CIA και αυτή τη στιγμή εφαρμόζει σε όλο τον κόσμο προγράμματα ανατροπής καθεστώτων (!!!)

Είναι σαφές ότι οι αμερικανικές μυστικές υπηρεσίες εξακολουθούν να χρησιμοποιούν μεθόδους εντάσεως για να μπορέσουν να κινητοποιήσουν το δυτικό ακροατήριο στον πόλεμο κατά της τρομοκρατίας.

Στους σημαντικούς Έλληνες Γλέζος και Λαζόπουλος !!!!!


του Στέφανου Στεφάνου


Ανάμεσα στον Λαζόπουλο, τον Γλέζο, τον Παπανδρέου , τον Καραμανλή και τον Βελουχιώτη, φιγουράρει και ο Ευριπίδης με τον Μέγα Αλέξανδρο. (Λείπουν φυσικά εκείνοι που έκτισαν την Ελλάδα, οι Εθνικοί Ευεργέτες, ο Σίνας και ο Αβέρωφ, ο Μάρκο Μπότσαρης και ο Πατροκοσμάς…)

Η απόλυτη ξεφτίλα της δημοκρατίας του όχλου, του Παπαχελά, του Βερέμη, της καθημερινής και των μετριοτήτων που ανεβαίνουν στην κορυφή έρποντας και γλύφοντας.

Θαυμάστε ποιοι διεκδικούν τον τίτλο του σημαντικότερου Έλληνα!

Πριν τρία χρόνια είχα επισκεφθεί την Δ/νση ιστορίας στρατού, τον σημαντικότερο και πλέον αδέκαστο ερευνητικό φορέα στην χώρα μας, όπου επί τρίωρο, από κοινού με τον στρατηγό κ. Κακουδάκη, ψάχναμε τον φάκελο του Κων/νου Κουκίδη, του Εύζωνα φύλακα της Ακρόπολης που τυλίχτηκε την γαλανόλευκη και κατακρημνίστηκε στον ιερό βράχο, όταν του ζήτησαν οι Γερμανοί να τους παραδώσει την σημαία μας το 1941.


Στην συζήτηση παρευρίσκετο και ο υποστράτηγος κ. Διαλυνάς.
Αφού εξαντλήσαμε το θέμα με τον Κουκίδη, έτοιμος να φύγω, ανέφερα στον κ. Κακουδάκη ότι, ο σφοδρότερος πολέμιος της ιστορίας του Κουκίδη ήταν ο Μανόλης Γλέζος ( θεωρεί ανύπαρκτο πρόσωπο και τον Κουκίδη και την ιστορία με την σημαία).

Ο στρατηγός γέλασε πικραμένα.

«Εδώ έχω και τον φάκελο με την ιστορία του Γλέζου» μου απάντησε».
«Και… μεταξύ μας. Ερεύνησα το θέμα Γλέζος προσωπικά. Πήγα πριν μερικά χρόνια στην Γερμανία και συνάντησα τον Γερμανό Φρούραρχο των Αθηνών, για να του πάρω την μαρτυρία του. Τον συνάντησα και τον ρώτησα: Η Γερμανική φρουρά έκανε υποστολή της σημαίας από τον ιερό βράχο με την δύση του Ηλίου;».

Και ο Γερμανός χαμογελώντας μου απάντησε: «Κάνατε την καίρια ερώτηση κ. Κακουδάκη. Και βέβαια απαντήσατε ταυτόχρονα μόνος σας και στο ερώτημα που μου κάνατε για τον Γλέζο!».

Ο κ. Κακουδάκης δεν μου είπε τίποτε άλλο. Δεν χρειάζονταν. Όπως δεν χρειάζεται να εξηγήσω κι εγώ κάτι παραπάνω σε εσάς, για τον Γλέζο, τον χυδαίο υβριστή Λαζόπουλο, τον Παπανδρέου, τον Καραμανλή, τον Βελουχιώτη…

Να δείτε, στο τέλος που όλοι αυτοί θα ανακηρυχθούν σημαντικότεροι από τον μέγα Αλέξανδρο, τον «άθλιο σφαγέα των λαών», και τον Αισχύλο…!

Αφιέρωμα στον George Soros (Μέρος 3ο).

George Soros, Imperial Wizard (Part III)

NON-PROFIT PROFITEERING

Αναδημοσίευση από το

http://www.nationalpride.wordpress.com/

Soros claims not to do philanthropy in the countries in which he is involved as a currency trader. But Soros has often taken advantage of his connections to make key investments. Armed with a study by ICC, and with the support of Bernard Kouchner, chief of the UN Interim Administration in Kosovo (UNMIK), Soros attempted to acquire the most profitable mining complex in the Balkans.


Yugoslavia was targetted because the Slavs repeatedly elected the Socialist Party of Slobodan Milosevic. Then in 1991, Soros launched the Open Society Institute and pumped over $100 million to the anti-Milosevic opposition, publishing houses and ‘independent’ media like Radio B-92. When Milosevic was finally removed to The Hague tribunal, the charges of war crimes and genocide framed against him were collected (read made up) by the Soros-funded Human Rights Watch!



A few months after the military occupation of Kosovo, the International
Crisis Group (ICG) (you know, the one that recently “suggested” that Greece should recognize “Macedonian” ethnicity and language!) a think tank supported by Financier George Soros, issued a paper on “Trepca: Making Sense of the Labyrinth ” which advised the United Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) “to take over the Trepca mining complex from the Serbs as quickly as possible and explained how this should be done”.

In September 2000, in a hurry to take the Trepca mines here, here, here before the Yugoslavian election, Kouchner stated that pollution from the mining complex was raising lead levels in the environment. This is incredible considering that he cheered when the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia rained depleted uranium on the country and released more than 100,000 tons of carcinogens into the air, water and soil. But Kouchner had his way, and the mines were closed for “health reasons.” Soros invested $150 million in an effort to gain control of Trepca’s gold, silver, lead, zinc and cadmium, which make the property worth $5 billion.

As Bulgaria was imploding into “free-market” chaos, Soros was busy scavenging through the wreckage, as Reuters reported in early 2001:
“The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) invested $3.0 million in [Bulgarian high-tech company] Rila, the first firm to benefit from a new $30 million facility set up by the EBRD to support IT firms in central and eastern Europe…. Another $3. 0 million came from U.S private investment fund Argus Capital Partners, sponsored by Prudential Insurance Company of America and opera ting in central and eastern Europe… Soros, who had invested around $3.0 million in Rila and in 2001 invested another $1.0 million…remained its majority owner. “ In Romania Soros and his allies opposing Gabriel Resources’ gold mine in Rosia Montana also claimed - falsely - that it would be an environmental hazard. The truth is, the existing shut-down communist-run mine is a bleeding environmental sore, turning area streams orange with all manner of toxic pollution.
He clearly has used his Open Society Institute’s Romanian office to fund and lead opposition efforts by various non-Romanian environmental groups and NGOs to the proposal by Gabriel Resources, a Canadian mining company to mine gold in Rosia Montana, a proposal that included cleaning up the vast environmental damage done to the town by the now-closed communist-run mine.
Here’s where it gets downright interesting. Soros owns a chunk of
Denver-based Newmont Mining. Newmont owns a stake in Gabriel. Which means
Soros, effectively, owns at least a small piece of Gabriel. By helping to
kill the Rosia Montana project, Soros has driven Gabriel’s stock price down
significantly. At the same time the Rosia Montana project site itself still
sits there, loaded with gold, and Soros is known to scoop up depressed
mining ventures.
Don’t be surprised to see Soros come to the “rescue” of Rosia Montana by
offering to purchase the mine.
And, unfortunately, don’t be surprised if the Western media pays little
attention. Kirk Leech, the freelance journalist and author of the GoldenMyths.com
website, which focuses on the Rosia Montana story, writes that the
mothballing of the Rosia Montan project “is an economic and social disaster
for the 300-plus full time workers employed by the company, the majority of
whom now find themselves laid off, and for the local inhabitants of this
economically blighted valley village, who face an even more uncertain future
than a week ago.”
The only certainly for those who will suffer hardship through the freezing
of the project is that the mine will continue to be a political football,
kicked around by comfortable western environmentalists, rich local
landowners, business interests hoping to benefit from a faltering project
and opportunist Romanian and Hungarian politicians. Or anyone who feels like
putting in their two cents- worth, without knowing the first thing about
this complex and technically sound project. It has been trendy to dump on
this project, though as fads come and go, this too shall pass. But why
should disadvantaged people get caught in the middle?
The clear losers in this battle are the people of Rosia Montana. The clear
winners, outside of lawyers and consultants, are those mentioned above who
have effectively hijacked the real concerns of local people for their own
partisan interests. It’s worth recounting what has occurred over the past
few months.
In September the Ministry of the Environment and Sustainable Development
suspended the evaluation of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in a
move that was clearly political, having no basis in Romanian law.
In November the local court in Cluj annulled an urban planning certificate
that Alba county council had granted to RMGC. Alburnus Maior, the lead NGO
opposing the mine and George Soros’ Open Society Foundation led the
challenge to this urbanism certificate. In reality the certificate is not
even a permit or an approval and cannot be legally challenged according to
Romanian law. To add to this the court of appeal in Brasov also cancelled a
certificate allowing RMGC to work on the Carnic Massif hills where traces of
Roman mining remain.
He concludes:
A supine Romanian political class has allowed the National Liberal party and
the Democratic Union of Hungarians in Romania to act as a Trojan horse for
those seeking not to stop gold mining in Rosia Montana but for it to be
carried out by others.
The primary opposition to the Rosia Project was always portrayed by western
media such as the New York Times and PBS as being local to the region and
the country of Romania - the David vs. Goliath angle is a shopworn but
still-beloved story structure for Western journalists - but the truth is
that the opposition was always connected to and controlled by outsiders -
Western environmentalists who didn’t live in Rosia, or even in Romania, and
of course Soros both personally and through his Open Society Institute.
Soros has funded worldwide efforts to promote drug policy reform. In 2008, Soros donated $400,000 to help fund a successful ballot measure in the state of Massachusetts known as the Massachusetts Sensible Marijuana Policy Initiative which decriminalized possession of less then 1 oz (28g) of marijuana in the state. Soros has also funded similar measures in California, Alaska, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Nevada and Maine. Among the drug decriminalization groups that have received funding from Soros are the Lindesmith Center and Drug Policy Foundation.
Soros donated $1.4 million to publicity efforts to support California’s Proposition 5 in 2008, a failed ballot measure that would have expanded drug rehabilitation programs as alternatives to prison for persons convicted of non-violent drug-related offenses.


FRAMING THE ISSUES
His pose as a philanthropist gives Soros the power to shape international public opinion when social conflict raises the question of who are the victims and who are the malefactors. Like other NGOs, Human Rights Watch, Soros’ mouthpiece on human rights, avoids or ignores most organized and independent working class struggles.
In Colombia, labour leaders are routinely killed by paramilitaries working in concert with the U.S.-sponsored government. Because those unions oppose neoliberal economics, HRW is relatively silent. In April of this year, HRW’s Jose Vivanco testified before the U.S. Senate in favour of Plan Colombia:
“Colombians remain committed to human rights and democracy They need help. Human Rights Watch has no fundamental problem with the United States providing that help.”
HRW equates the actions of the Colombian guerrilla fighters struggling to free themselves from the oppression of state terror, poverty and exploitation with the repression of the U.S-sponsored armed forces and paramilitary death squads, the AUC (United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia). HRW validated the Pastrana government and its military, whose role was to protect property rights and maintain the economic and political status quo. According to HRW, 50% of civilian deaths are the work of the government-tolerated death squads. The correct number is 80%.
HRW essentially certified the election and ascendancy of the Uribe government in 2002 as well. Uribe is a throwback to the Latin American dictators the U.S. supported in the past, although he was “elected.” HRW had no comment about the fact that the majority boycotted the election.
In the Caribbean Basin, Cuba is another opponent of neoliberalism that has been demonized by Human Rights Watch. In nearby Haiti, Soros-funded activities have worked to defeat popular aspirations following the end of the Duvalier dictatorship by undermining Haiti’s first democratically elected leader, Jean-Bertrand Aristide. HRW’s Ken Roth helpfully chimed in with U.S. denunciations of Aristide as “undemocratic.” To demonstrate his idea of “democracy,” Soros foundations were commencing operations in Haiti complimentary to such unseemly U.S. activities as USAID’s promotion of persons associated with FRAPH, the notorious CIA-sponsored death squads which have terrorized the country since the fall of ‘Baby Doc’ Duvalier. On HRW’s web site, Director Roth criticized the U.S. for not opposing China more vigorously. Roth’s activities include the creation of the Tibetan Freedom Concert, a traveling propaganda project that toured the U.S. with major rock musicians, urging young people to support Tibet against China. Tibet has been a pet project of the CIA for many years. Roth has recently pressed for opposition to Chinese control over its oil-rich western province of Xinjiang. With the colonialist “divide and conquer” approach, Roth has tried to convince some of the Uighur religious minority in Xinjiang that the U.S/NATO intervention in Kosovo holds promise as a model for them. As late as August 2002, the U.S. government has given some support in this endeavor as well.
U.S. designs on this region were signaled clearly when a New York Times article on Xinjiang Province in western China described the Uighurs as a “Muslim majority, [which] lives restively under Chinese rule.” They “are well versed in the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia last year which some celebrate for liberating the Muslims in Kosovo; they fantasize about a similar rescue’ here.” The New York Times Magazine noted “Recent discoveries of oil have made Xinjiang extremely attractive to international trade,” while comparing the conditions for its indigenous population to those in Tibet.

INNUMERACY
When Sorosian organizations count, they seem to lose track of the truth. Human Rights Watch asserted that 500 people, not over 2,000, were killed by NATO bombers in the 1999 war in Yugoslavia. They said only 350, not over 4,000, died as a result of U.S. attacks on Afghanistan. When the U.S. bombed Panama in 1989, HRW prefaced its report by saying that the “ouster of Manuel Noriega.. and installation of the democratically-elected government of President Guillermo Endara brought high hopes in Panama…” The report neglected to mention the number of casualties.
Human Rights Watch prepared the groundwork for the NATO attack on Bosnia in 1993 by the false rape-of-thousands and “genocide” stories. This tactic of creating political hysteria was necessary for the United States to carry out its Balkan policy. It was repeated in 1999 when HRW functioned as the shock troops of indoctrination for the NATO attack on Yugoslavia. All of Soros’ blather about the rule of law was forgotten. The U.S. and NATO made their own law, and the institutions of George Soros stood behind it.
Massaging of numbers to provoke a response was a major part of a Council on Foreign Relations campaign after September 11,2001. This time it was the 2,801 killed in the World Trade Center. The CFR met on November 6, 2001, to plan a “major public diplomacy campaign.” CFR created an “Independent Task Force on America’s Response to Terrorism.” Soros joined Richard C. Holbrooke, Newton L. Gingrich, John M. Shalikashvili (former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff), and other powerful individuals on a campaign to make the Trade Center dead into tools for U.S. foreign policy. The CFR report set out to make the case for a war on terrorism. George Soros’ fingerprints were all over the campaign:
“Have senior-level U.S. officials press friendly Arab and other Muslim governments not only to publicly condemn the 9/11 attacks, but also to back the rationale and goals of the U.S. anti-terror campaign. We are never going to convince the publics in the Middle East and South Asia of the righteousness of our cause if their governments remain silent. We need to help them to deflect any blow-hack from such statements, but we must have them vocally on board…. Encourage Bosnian, Albanian, and Turkish Muslims to educate foreign audiences regarding the U.S. role in saving the Muslims of Bosnia and Kosovo in 1995-99, and our long-standing, close ties to Muslims around the world. Engage regional intellectuals and journalists across the board, regardless of their views. Routinely monitor the regional press in real time to enable prompt responses… Stress references to the victims (and ideally named victims to personalize them) whenever we discuss our cause and goals.”
Sorosian innumeracy: counting to bolster and defend U.S. foreign policy.
Soros is very worried about the decline in the world capitalist system and he wants to do something about it, now. He recently said: “I can already discern the makings of the final crisis…. Indigenous political movements are likely to arise that will seek to expropriate the multinational corporations and recapture the ‘national’ wealth.”

Soros is seriously suggesting a plan to circumvent the United Nations. He proposes that the “democracies of the world ought to take the lead and forge a global network of alliances that could work with or without the United Nations.” If he were psychotic, one might think he was having an episode. But the fact is, Soros’ assertion that “The United Nations is constitutionally incapable of fulfilling the promises contained in the preamble of its charter,” reflects the thinking of such reactionary institutions as the American Enterprise Institute. Though many conservatives refer to the Soros network as left-wing, on the question of U.S. affiliation with the United Nations Soros is on the same page as the likes of John R. Bolton, Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Affairs, who, with “[M]any Republicans in Congress-believe that nothing more should be paid to the UN system.” There has been a decades-long rightwing campaign against the UN. Now Soros is leading it. On various Soros web sites one may read criticism of the United Nations as too rich, unwilling to share information, or flawed in ways that make it unfit for the way the world should run according to George Soros.
Even writers at The Nation, writers who clearly ought to know better, have been influenced by Soros’ ideas. William Greider, for instance, recently found some validity in Soros’ criticism that the United Nations should not be a venue for “tin-pot dictators and totalitarians. . treated as equal partners.” This kind of Eurocentric racism is at the heart of Soros’ hubris. His assumption that the United States can and should run the world is a prescription for fascism on a global scale. For much too long, Western “progressives” have been giving Soros a pass. Probably Greider and others will find the reference to fascism excessive, unjustified, even outrageous.
But just listen closely to what Soros himself has to say: “In old Rome, the Romans only voted. In the modern global capitalism, the Americans only vote. The Brazilians do not vote.”

SOROS AND DRUGS
Soros has categorically denied receiving money from drug cartels or any form of criminal activity. The fact remains, however, that at least some of his financial operations have been based offshore, in banking and financial centers that are widely reported to be considered conducive to money-laundering. The Soros fund is based in the Netherlands Antilles, a self-governing federation of five Caribbean islands. A CIA factbook describes the region as “a transshipment point for South American drugs bound for the US and Europe; money-laundering center.”

Soros’ long-time goal has been to subvert the national anti-drug policy of the U.S. Government, to move away from the use of national and global law enforcement resources against the drug trade. He calls this “harm reduction,” meaning that criminal activity associated with the use of drugs will supposedly be reduced if the government takes over the drug trade and provides drugs and drug paraphernalia, including needles, to addicts. But law enforcement would still be required to keep drugs out of the hands of children. If this is not the case, then Soros intends to allow substances such as marijuana, cocaine and heroin to be distributed to children.
Wherever there is drug, George Soros has his hooks deep. It shows up in Georgia as well. The Beckley Foundation, one of many Soros-fund drug legalization outfits, based just outside of Oxford, England, put out a report , “Drug Control in Georgia: Drug testing and the reduction of drug use?”

In this report, issued in May 2008, the Beckley Foundation was critical of former Georgian President Eduard Shevardnadze. It said: “The former First Secretary of Central Committee of the Communist Party of Georgia, Eduard Shevardnadze, initiated harsh legal measures and public campaigns against drug users in the 1970s,” quoting another Soros-funded outfit, Human Rights Watch.

The Beckley Foundation in its report said there were promising changes under President Mikhail Saakashvili, who has “announced the possibility of shifting the focus of drug policy away from the predominantly law enforcement orientation.” In other words, the beneficiary of “Rose Revolution”, Saakashvili, did promise Soros an eventual legalization of drugs in Georgia .
Just imagine what that would mean to Russia already heavily affected by the deluge of heroin coming up from Afghanistan !

The Beckley Foundation’s co-director, Mike Trace, former UK deputy drug czar, was brought in a Head of Demand Reduction at the United Nations Office for Drug Control and Crime in Vienna in January 2003. He was forced to resign from his post within eight weeks following the release of information from documents obtained by the Hassela Nordic Network, a Swedish-based group opposed to liberalization of drug laws, which showed that Trace was involved in an operation, funded by billionaire George Soros, to undermine the international conventions on drug-trafficking which were to be reviewed at a UN meeting to be held in Vienna in April 2003.

Αφιέρωμα στον George Soros (Μέρος 2ο).


George Soros, Imperial Wizard (Part II)

THE PHILANTHROPIST SPOOK


Αναδημοσίευση από το http://www.nationalpride.wordpress.com/

Soros has been active as a “philanthropist” since the 1970s, when he began providing funds to help black students attend the University of Cape Town in apartheid South Africa, and began funding dissident movements behind the iron curtain.

Soros’ philanthropic funding includes efforts to promote “non-violent democratization” in the post-Soviet states. These efforts, mostly in Central and Eastern Europe, occur primarily through the Open Society Institute (OSI) and national Soros Foundations, which sometimes go under other names. In 1980, Soros began to use his millions to attack socialism in Eastern Europe. He financed individuals who would cooperate with him. His first success was in Hungary. He took over the Hungarian educational and cultural establishment, incapacitating socialist institutions throughout the country. He made his way right inside the Hungarian government. As of 2003, PBS estimated that he had given away a total of $4 billion. The OSI says it has spent about $400 million annually in recent years. Soros next moved on to Poland, (with the Stefan Batory Foundation) aiding the CIA-funded Solidarity operation and in that same year, he became active in China. The USSR came next.



It is not coincidental that the Central Intelligence Agency had operations in all of those countries. The goal of the Agency was exactly the same as that of the Open Society Fund: to dismantle socialism. In South Africa, the CIA sought out dissidents who were anticommunist. In Hungary, Poland and the USSR, the CIA, with overt intervention from the National Endowment for Democracy, the AFL-CIO, USAID and other institutions, supported and organized anticommunists, the very type of individuals recruited by Soros’ Open Society Fund. The CIA would have called them “assets.” As Soros said, “In each country I identified a group of people - some leading personalities, others less well known - who share my belief…”. Soros’ Open Society organized conferences with anticommunist Czechs, Serbs, Romanians, Hungarians, Croatians, Bosnians, Kosovars. His ever-expanding influence gave rise to suspicions that he was operating as part of the U.S. intelligence complex. In 1989, the Washington Post reported charges first made in 1987 by the Chinese government officials that Soros’ Fund for the Reform and Opening of China had CIA connections.

Since the fall of the Soviet Union, Soros’ funding has continued to play an important role in the former Soviet sphere. His funding and organization of Georgia’s Rose Revolution was considered crucial to its success by Russian and Western observers, although Soros has said that his role has been “greatly exaggerated.” Alexander Lomaia, Secretary of the Georgian Security Council and former Minister of Education and Science, is a former Executive Director of the Open Society Georgia Foundation (Soros Foundation,) overseeing a staff of 50 and a budget of $2,500,000.
Former Georgian Foreign Minister Salomé Zourabichvili wrote:
These institutions were the cradle of democratisation, notably the Soros Foundation … all the NGOs which gravitate around the Soros Foundation undeniably carried the revolution. However, one cannot end one’s analysis with the revolution and one clearly sees that, afterwards, the Soros Foundation and the NGOs were integrated into power.
- Salomé Zourabichvili, Herodote (magazine of the French Institute for Geopolitics, April, 2008

TAKING ON MOSCOW
After 1990, Soros funds targeted the Russian educational system, providing the entire nation with textbooks. 19 In effect, Soros ensured the indoctrination of an entire generation of Russian youth with OSI propaganda. Soros foundations were accused of engineering a strategy to take control of the Russian financial system, privatization schemes, and the process of foreign investment in that country. Russians reacted angrily to Soros’ legislative meddlings. Critics of Soros and other U.S. foundations said the goal of these maneuvers was to “thwart Russia as a state, which has the potential to compete with the world’s only superpower.” 20 Russians began to suspect Soros and the CIA were interconnected. Business tycoon Boris Berezovsky said, “I nearly fainted when I heard a couple of years ago that George Soros was a CIA agent.” 21 Berezovsky’s opinion was that Soros, and the West, were “afraid of Russian capital becoming strong.”

If the economic and political establishment in the United States fear an economic rivalry from Russia, what better way to control it than to dominate Russian media, education, research centers and science? After spending $250 million for the “transformation of education of humanities and economics at the high school and university levels,” Soros created the International Science Foundation for another $100 million. 22 The Russian Federal Counterintelligence Service (FSK) accused Soros foundations in Russia of “espionage.” They noted that Soros was not operating alone; he was part of a full court press that included financing from the Ford and Heritage Foundations; Harvard, Duke, and Columbia universities, and assistance from the Pentagon and U.S. intelligence services. 23 The FSK criticized Soros’ payouts to 50,000 Russian scientists, saying that Soros advanced his own interests by gaining control of thousands of Russian scientific discoveries and new technologies to collect state and commercial secrets. 24

In 1995, Russians were infuriated by the insinuation of State Department operative Fred Cuny into the conflict in Chechnya. Cuny’s cover was disaster relief, but his history of involvement in international conflict zones of interest to the U.S., plus FBI and CIA search parties, made clear his government connections. At the time of his disappearance, Cuny was working under contract to a Soros foundation. 25 It is not widely known in the U.S. that the violence in Chechnya, a province in the heart of Russia, is generally perceived as the result of a political destabilization campaign on which Washington looks favorably, and may actually be directing. This assessment of the situation is clear enough to writer Tom Clancy that he felt free to include it as an assertion of fact in his best-seller, The Sum of All Fears. The Russians accused Cuny of being a CIA operative, and part of an intelligence operation to support the Chechen uprising. 26 Soros’ Open Society Institute is still active in Chechnya, as are other Soros-sponsored organizations.
Russia was the site of at least one joint endeavor to enhance Soros’ balance sheet, arranged with diplomatic assistance from the Clinton administration. In 1999, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright blocked a $500 million loan guarantee by the U.S. Export-Import Bank to the Russian company, Tyumen Oil, on the grounds that it was contrary to U.S. national interests. Tyumen wanted to buy American-made oil equipment and services from Dick Cheney’s Halliburton Company and ABB Lummus Global of Bloomfield, New Jersey. 27 George Soros was an investor in a company that Tyumen had been trying to acquire. Both Soros and BP Amoco lobbied to prevent this transaction, and Albright obliged. 28
Time magazine in 2007 cited two specific projects - $100 million toward Internet infrastructure for regional Russian universities; and $50 million for the Millennium Promise to eradicate extreme poverty in Africa - while noting that Soros has given $742 million to projects in the U.S., and given away a total of more than $6 billion

NURTURING LEFT ANTI-SOCIALISM
Soros’ Open Society Institute has a finger in every pot. Its board of directors reads like a “Who’s Who” of Cold War and New World Order pundits. Paul Goble is Communications Director; ‘he was the major political commentator at Radio Free Europe. Herbert Okun served in the Nixon State Department as an intelligence adviser to Henry Kissinger. Kati Marton is the wife of former Clinton administration UN ambassador and envoy to Yugoslavia, Richard Holbrooke. Marton lobbied for the Soros-funded radio station B-92, also a project of’ the National Endowment for Democracy (another overt arm of the CIA), which was instrumental in bringing down the Yugoslav government.

When Soros founded the Open Society Fund he picked liberal pundit Aryeh Neier to lead it. Neier was the head of Helsinki Watch, a putative human rights organization with an anticommunist bent. In 1993, the Open Society Fund became the Open Society Institute. Helsinki Watch became Human Rights Watch in 1975. Soros is currently on its Advisory Board, both for the Americas and the Eastern Europe-Central Asia Committees, and his Open Society Fund/Soros/OSI is listed as a funder. Soros is intimately connected to HRW, and Neier wrote columns for The Nation magazine without mentioning that he was on Soros’ payroll.

Soros is intimately involved in HRW, although he does his best to hide it. He says he just funds and sets up these programs and lets them run. But they do not stray from the philosophy of the funder. HRW and OSI are close. Their views do not diverge. Of course, other foundations fund these institutions as well, but Soros’ influence dominates their ideology.

George Soros’ activities fall into the construct developed in 1983 and enunciated by Allen Weinstein, founder of the National Endowment for Democracy. Weinstein said, “A lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA.” Soros is operating exactly within the confines of the intelligence complex. He is little different from CIA drug runners in Laos in the 1960s, or the mujahedin who profited from the opium trade while carrying out CIA operations against socialist Afghanistan in the 1980s. He simply funnels (and takes home) a whole lot more money than those pawns, and he does much of his business in the light of day.
His candor insofar as he expresses it is a sort of spook damage control that serves to legitimize the strategies of U.S. foreign policy.
According to Neil Clark (writing in the New Statesman):
(t)he conventional view, shared by many on the left, is that socialism collapsed in eastern Europe because of its systemic weaknesses and the political elite’s failure to build popular support.

That may be partly true, but Soros’s role was crucial. From 1979, he distributed $3m a year to dissidents including Poland’s Solidarity movement, Charter 77 in Czechoslovakia and Andrei Sakharov in the Soviet Union. In 1984, he founded his first Open Society Institute in Hungary and pumped millions of dollars into opposition movements and independent media

The majority of people in the U.S. today who consider themselves politically left-of-center are undoubtedly pessimistic about the chances for a socialist transformation of society. Thus the Soros ‘Decentralization” model, or the “piecemeal” approach to “negative utilitarianism, the attempt to minimize the amount of misery,” which was Popper’s philosophy, appeals to them. Soros funded an HRW study that was used to back California and Arizona legislation relaxing drug laws. Soros favors the legalization of drugs - one way of temporarily reducing awareness of one’s misery. Soros is an equal-opportunity bribester. At a loftier rung of the socioeconomic ladder, one finds Social Democrats who accept Soros funding and believe in civil liberties within the context of capitalism. For these folks, the evil consequences of Soros’ business activities (impoverishing people all over the world) are mitigated by his philanthropic activities. Similarly, liberal/left intellectuals, both in the U.S. and abroad, have been drawn in by the “Open Society” philosophy, not to mention the occasional funding plum.

The New Left in the United States was a social democratic movement. It was resolutely anti-Soviet, and when Eastern Europe and the USSR fell, few in the New Left opposed the destruction of the socialist systems. The New Left did not mourn or protest when the hundreds of millions in Eastern Europe and Central Asia lost their right to jobs, housing at reasonable and legally protected rents, free education through graduate school, health care and cultural enhancement. Most belittled any suggestion that the CIA and certain NGOs such as the National Endowment for Democracy or the Open Society Fund had actively participated in the annihilation of socialism. These people felt that the Western determination to destroy the USSR since 1917 was barely connected to the fall of the USSR. For them, socialism failed of its own accord, because it was flawed.

As revolutions, such as the ones in Mozambique, Angola, Nicaragua or El Salvador were destroyed by proxy forces or were stalled by demonstration “elections,” New Left pragmatists shrugged their shoulders and turned away. The New Left sometimes seemed to deliberately ignore the post-Soviet machinations of U.S. foreign policy.

Bogdan Denitch, who had political aspirations in Croatia, was active within the Open Society Institute, and received OSI funding. Denitch favoured the ethnic cleansing of Serbs from Croatia, NATO bombing of Bosnia and then Yugoslavia, and even a ground invasion of Yugoslavia. Denitch was a founder and chair man for many years of the Democratic Socialists of America, a leading liberal-left group in the U.S. He has also long chaired the prestigious Socialist Scholars Conference, through which he was key to manipulating the sympathies of many toward support for NATO expansion. Other Soros targets for support include Refuse and Resist the ACLU, and a host of other liberal causes. Soros added another unlikely trophy when he became involved in the New School for Social Research in New York, long an academy of choice for left intellectuals. He now funds the East and Central Europe Program there.
Many leftists who were inspired by the revolution in Nicaragua sadly accepted the election of Violetta Chamorro and the defeat of the Sandinistas in 1990. Most of the Nicaragua support network faded thereafter. Perhaps the New Left could have learned from the rising star of Michael Kozak. He was a veteran of Washington’s campaigns to install sympathetic leaders in Nicaragua, Panama and Haiti, and to undermine Cuba - he headed the U.S. Interests Section in Havana.

After organizing the Chamorro victory in Nicaragua, Kozak moved on to become U.S. Ambassador to Belarus. Kozak worked with the Soros-sponsored “Internet Access and Training Program” (IATP), which was busy “creating future leaders” in Belarus. This program was simultaneously imposed upon Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgystan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. IATP operates openly with the support of the U.S. Department of State. To its credit, Belarus expelled Kozak and the Soros-Open Society/U.S. State Department crowd. The government of Aleksandr Lukashenko found that for four years before moving to Minsk, Kozak was instrumental in engineering the flow of tens of millions of dollars to the Belarus opposition. Kozak was creating a united opposition coalition, funding web-sites, newspapers and opinion polls, and tutoring a student resistance movement similar to Yugoslavia’s Otpor. Kozak brought in Otpor leaders to instruct dissidents in Belarus. Just before September 11, 2001, the U.S. was revving up a demonization campaign against President Aleksandr Lukashenko. Demonizing Lukashenko has temporarily taken a back burner to the “war on terrorism.”

Through OSI and HRW, Soros was a major supporter of the B-92 radio station in Belgrade. Soros funded Otpor, the organization that received those “suitcases of money” in support of the October 5, 2000 coup that toppled the Yugoslav government. Human Rights Watch helped legitimize the subsequent kidnapping and show trial of Slobodan Milosevic in The Hague by saying nothing about his rights.” Louise Arbour, who served as judge at that illegal tribunal, is presently on the Board of Soros’ International Crisis Group. The Open Society/Human Rights Watch gang has been working on Macedonia, calling it part of their “civilizing mission.” Expect that republic to be “saved” to finish the total disintegration of the former Yugoslavia.

DEPUTIES OF POWER
Soros has actually stated that he considers his philanthropy moral and his money management business amoral. Yet those in charge of Soros-funded NGOs have a clear and consistent agenda. One of Soros’ most influential institutions is the International Crisis Group, founded in 1986. ICG is headed by individuals from the very center of political and corporate power. Its board includes Zbigniew Brzezinski, Morton Abramowitz, former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State; Wesley Clark, former NATO Supreme Allied Commander for Europe; and Richard Allen, former U.S. National Security Adviser, Allen is noteworthy for quitting Nixon’s National Security Council out of disgust with the liberal tendencies of Henry Kissinger; recruiting Oliver North to Reagan’s National Security Council, and negotiating missiles for hostages in the Iran-Contra scandal. For these individuals, “containing conflict” boils down to U.S. control over the people and resources of the world.

In the 1980s and 1990s, under the aegis of the Reagan Doctrine, U.S. covert and overt operations in Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, and Asia were in the works. Soros was openly active in most of these places, working to buy off would-be revolutionaries, or subsidize politicians, intellectuals and anyone else who might come to power when the revolutionary moment had passed. According to James Petras:
“By the early 1980s the more perceptive sectors of the neoliberal ruling classes realized that their policies were polarizing the society and provoking large-scale social discontent. Neoliberal politicians began to finance and promote a parallel strategy ‘from below,’ the promotion of ‘grassroots’ organizations with an ‘anti-statist’ ideology to intervene among potentially conflictory classes, to create a “social cushion.” These organizations were financially dependent on neoliberal sources and were directly involved in competing with sociopolitical movements for the allegiance of local leaders and activist communities. By the 1 990s these organizations, described as “nongovernmental,” numbered in the thousands and were receiving close to four billion dollars world-wide.”

In Underwriting Democracy, Soros boasts about the “Americanization of Eastern Europe.” According to his account, through his education programs he began to establish a young cadre of Sorosian leaders. These Soros Foundation-educated young men and women are prepared to fulfill the functions of so-called “influence agents.” Thanks to their fluent knowledge of languages and their insertion into the emerging bureaucracies in target countries, these recruits would philosophically smooth the inroads for Western multinational corporations.

Career diplomat Herbert Okun, on the Europe Committee of Human Rights Watch, along with George Soros, is connected to a host of State Department-linked institutions, from USAID to the Rockefeller-funded Trilateral Commission. From 1990 to 1997, Okun was executive director of something called the Financial Services Volunteer Corps, part of USAID, “to help establish free market financial systems in former communist countries.” George Soros is in complete accord with the capitalists who are in the process of taking control of the global economy.

The Soros network of foundations and institutes stretch across Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Georgia, Guatemala, Haiti, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Moldova, Mongolia, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Tajikistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Yugoslavia. They provide scholarships to Burmese dissidents and funds for radio broadcasts into Burma in support of Aung San Suu Kyi (naturally).

Αφιέρωμα στον George Soros (Μέρος 1ο).


George Soros, Imperial Wizard (I).

“Yes, I do have a foreign policy…my goal is to become the conscience of the world.”‘

Αναδημοσίευση από το http://www.nationalpride.wordpress.com/

This is not a case of narcissistic personality disorder; this is how George Soros exercises the authority of United States hegemony in the world today. Soros foundations and financial machinations are partly responsible for the destruction of socialism in Eastern Europe and the former USSR. He has set his sights on China. He was part of the full court press that dismantled Yugoslavia and caused trouble in Georgia, Ukraine and Myanmar. Calling himself a philanthropist, billionaire George Soros’ role is to tighten the ideological stranglehold of globalization and the New World Order while promoting his own financial gain. Soros’ commercial and “philanthropic” operations are clandestine, contradictory and coactive. And as far as his economic activities are concerned, by his own admission, he is without conscience; a capitalist who functions with absolute amorality.

“If there was ever a man who would fit the stereotype of the Judeo-plutocratic Bolshevik Zionist world conspirator, it is me,” (Sydney Morning Herald interview, November 15, 1997).



Soros is a leading figure on the Council of Foreign Relations, the World Economic Forum, and Human Rights Watch (HRW). In 1994, after a meeting with his philosophical guru, Sir Karl Popper, Soros ordered his companies to start investing in Central and Eastern European communications. The Federal Radio Television Administration of the Czech Republic accepted his offer to take over and fund the archives of Radio Free Europe.

Soros moved the archives to Prague and spent over $15 million on their maintenance. A Soros foundation now runs CIA-created Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty jointly with the U.S. and RFE/RL, which has expanded into the Caucasus and Asia. Soros is the founder and funder of the Open Society Institute. He created and maintains the International Crisis Group (ICG) which, among other things, has been active in the Balkans since the destruction of Yugoslavia. Soros works openly with the United States Institute of Peace-an overt arm of the CIA. His “tenacles” are into covert operations, false flags, “Trojan horses”.

He thrusts himself upon world statesmen and they respond. He has been close to Henry Kissinger, Vaclav Havel and Poland’s General Wojciech Jaruzelski. He supports the Dalai Lama, whose institute is housed in the Presidio in San Francisco, also home to the foundation run by Soros’ friend, former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev.

When anti-globalization forces were freezing in the streets outside New York’s Waldorf-Astoria hotel in February 2002, George Soros was inside addressing the World Economic Forum. As the police forced protesters into metal cages on Park Avenue, Soros was extolling the virtues of the “Open Society” and joined Zbigniew Brzezinski, Samuel Huntington, Francis Fukuyama and others.

WHO IS THIS GUY?
George Soros was born in Hungary in 1930, son of the Esperantist writer Tivadar Soros. Tivadar (also known as Teodoro) was a Hungarian Jew, who was a prisoner of war during and after World War I and eventually escaped from Russia to rejoin his family in Budapest.

The family changed its name in 1936 from Schwartz to Soros, in response to growing anti-semitism with the rise of Fascism. Tivadar liked the new name because it is a palindrome and because it has a meaning. Although the specific meaning is left unstated in Kaufmann’s biography, in Hungarian, soros means “next in line, or designated successor”, and in Esperanto, it means “will soar”. His son George was taught to speak Esperanto from birth and thus is one of the rare native Esperanto speakers. George Soros later said that he grew up in a Jewish home, and that his parents were cautious with their religious roots. However, Soros’s father was proud of his Jewish roots (which can be seen in his memoir on his experiences during the holocaust, Masquerade).

To avoid his son’s being apprehended by the Nazis, Soros’s father paid a Ministry of Agriculture employee to have Soros spend the summer of 1944 living with him and posing as the godson. Young Soros had to hide his Jewishness even as the official was overseeing the confiscation of Jewish property. George Soros has been married and divorced twice, to Annaliese Witschak, and to Susan Weber Soros. He has five children: Robert, Andrea, Jonathan (with his first wife, Annaliese); Alexander, Gregory (with his second wife, Susan). His elder brother Paul Soros, an engineer, is a well-known philanthropist, investor, and New York socialite.
Soros lived under the Nazis, but with the triumph of the Communists moved to England in 1947. There, Soros came under the sway of the philosopher Karl Popper, at the London School of Economics. Popper was a lionized anti-communist ideologue and his teachings formed the basis for Soros’ political tendencies. There is hardly a speech, book or article that Soros writes that does not pay obeisance to Popper’s influence.

Knighted in 1965, Popper coined the slogan “Open Society,” which eventually manifested in Soros’ Open Society Fund and Institute. Followers of Popper repeat his words like true believers. Popperian philosophy epitomizes Western individualism. Soros left England in 1956, and found work on Wall Street where, in the 1960s, he invented the “hedge fund.”
“…hedge funds catered to very wealthy individuals… The largely secretive funds, usually trading in offshore locations. . produced astronomically superior results. The size of the “bets” often became self fulfilling prophecies: ‘rumors of a position taken by the big hedge funds prompted other investors to follow suit,’ which would in turn force up the price the hedgers were betting on to begin with.”

Soros organized the Quantum Fund in 1969 and began to dabble in currency manipulation. In the 1970s, his financial activities turned to:
“Alternating long and short positions… Soros won big both on the rise of real estate investment trusts and on their subsequent collapse. Under his 20-year stewardship, Quantum returned an amazing 34.5% a year. Soros is best known (and feared) for currency speculation.. . In 1997 he earned the rare distinction of being singled out as a villain by a head of state, Malaysia’s Mahathir Mohamad, for taking part in a highly profitable attack on that nation’s currency.”

Through such clandestine financial scheming, Soros became a multibillionaire. His companies control real estate in Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico; banking in Venezuela; and are some of the most profitable currency traders in the world, giving rise to the general belief that his highly placed friends assisted him in his financial endeavors, for political as well as financial gain.

George Soros has been blamed for the destruction of the Thai economy in 1997. One Thai activist said, “We regard George Soros as a kind of Dracula. He sucks the blood from the people.” The Chinese call him “the crocodile,” because his economic and ideological efforts in China were so insatiate, and because his financial speculation created millions of dollars in profits as it ravished the Thai and Malaysian economies.
Soros once made a billion dollars in one day by speculating (a word he abhors) on the British pound. Accused of taking “money from every British taxpayer when he speculated against sterling,” he said, “When you speculate in the financial markets you are free of most of the moral concerns that confront an ordinary businessman.. .I did not have to concern myself with moral issues in the financial markets.”

Soros has a schizophrenic craving for unlimited personal wealth and a desire to be thought well of by others:
“Currency traders sitting at their desks buy and sell currencies of Third World countries in large quantities. The effect of the currency fluctuations on the people who live in those countries is a matter that does not enter their minds. Nor should it; they have a job to do. Yet if we pause to think, we must ask ourselves whether currency traders.. .should regulate the lives of millions.”
It was Soros who saved George W. Bush’s bacon when his management of an oil exploration company was ending in failure. Soros was the owner of Harken Energy Corporation, and it was he who bought the rapidly depreciating stocks just prior to the company’s collapse. The future president cashed out at almost one million dollars. Soros said he did it to buy “political influence.” Soros is also a partner in the infamous Carlyle Group where he has invested more than $100m. Organized in 1987, “the world’s largest private equity firm” with over twelve billion dollars under management, is run by “a veritable who’s who of former Republican leaders,” from CIA man Frank Carlucci to CIA head George Bush, Sr., and members from the Bin Laden family. The Carlyle Group makes most of its money from weapons expenditures.

After indebting Bush, he decided that since “his buddy” will not be elected again, he should support the Democrats. So all his “Tender Love and Caring” went to Barack Obama. That, of course had a reason. Soros is angry not with Bush’s aims - of extending Pax Americana and making the world safe for global capitalists like himself - but with the crass and blundering way Bush is going about it. By making US ambitions so clear, the Bush gang has committed the cardinal sin of giving the game away. For years, Soros and his NGOs have gone about their work extending the boundaries of the “free world” so skilfully that hardly anyone noticed. Now a Texan redneck and a gang of overzealous neo-cons have blown it.
The fact that he turned to Obama, does not mean of course that he will stopped doing business with the Neocons. In late 2006, Soros bought about 2 million shares of Halliburton.
In 2007, the Quantum Fund returned almost 32%, netting Soros $2.9 billion.

Υπάρχουν, τέτοια παιδιά στα Πανεπιστήμιά μας!…

Ανοικτή Επιστολή:

Του ΓΙΩΡΓΟΥ ΠΙΠΕΡΟΠΟΥΛΟΥ,
Καθηγητή Πανεπιστημίου Μακεδονίας

προς τον κ Άρη Σπηλιωτόπουλο,
Υπουργό Εθνικής Παιδείας και Θρησκευμάτων,
την κ Μαριέτα Γιαννάκου, πρώην ΥΠΕΠΘ
τον κ Γιώργο Παπανδρέου, Πρόεδρο ΠΑΣΟΚ και πρώην
Υπουργό Εθνικής Παιδείας και Θρησκευμάτων


Υπάρχουν, τέτοια παιδιά στα Πανεπιστήμιά μας!…

Τι είναι λοιπόν ο επαναστατημένος άνθρωπος, αναρωτιέται στο ομώνυμο βιβλίο του ο Albert Camus και συνεχίζει, ένας άνθρωπος που λέει όχι! Αρνιέται αλλά δεν παραιτείται: είναι ακόμα αυτός που λέει ναι από την πρώτη του κίνηση! Το όχι του σημαίνει: «Μέχρι εκεί και μη παρέκει» , «το παρακάνετε», «υπάρχει ένα όριο που δεν θα ξεπεράσετε». Με λίγα λόγια αυτό το όχι του εξεγερμένου επιβεβαιώνει την παρουσία ενός ορίου.


Η επιβεβαίωση που συνεπάγεται κάθε πράξη εξέγερσης εξελίσσεται σε κάτι που ξεπερνά το άτομο αφού το βγάζει από την υποθετική μοναξιά του και του δίνει μια αφορμή δράσης!
Ο σκλάβος δεν ξεσηκώνεται μόνο για τον εαυτό του, αλλά για όλες τις ανθρώπινες υπάρξεις, όταν κρίνει πως με την υπάρχουσα τάξη κάτι μηδενίζεται μέσα του που δεν ανήκει μόνο σε αυτόν, αλλά είναι κοινός τόπος, όπου όλοι οι άνθρωποι, ακόμα και αυτοί που του αντιπαρατάσσονται μπορούν να αποτελέσουν μια κοινότητα και να συμβιώσουν σε καθημερινή βάση, ειρηνικά και παραγωγικά σε αυτήν.

Ίσως τελικά να είναι ευλογία για εμάς που ζούμε, εργαζόμαστε και αναλώνουμε τη ζωή μας στον ακαδημαϊκό χώρο των ΑΕΙ και ΤΕΙ, το γεγονός ότι ακόμη και σήμερα στην εποχή του άκρατου ατομικισμού, των διαπροσωπικών μας σχέσεων που έχουν το βάθος της επιδερμίδας, και της έλλειψης οραμάτων και αγνής αφοσίωσης σε ιδεώδη ΥΠΑΡΧΟΥΝ ανάμεσά μας φοιτητές και φοιτήτριες, που τρέχουν ΠΡΟΣ την ΕΛΕΥΘΕΡΙΑ την ίδια ώρα που οι άλλοι εγκλωβισμένοι στην ευδαιμονία της ασφάλειας που προσφέρει το «μαντρί» αποφεύγουν τις ευθύνες που συνεπάγεται η πραγμάτωση, η βίωση της Ελευθερίας...

Από τέτοιου ψυχισμού παιδιά αποτελείται μία εκπληκτικής ποιότητας ομάδα φοιτητών και φοιτητριών του Τμήματος Μάρκετινγκ και Διοίκησης Λειτουργιών του Πανεπιστημίου Μακεδονίας που εδρεύει στην Έδεσσα. Τα παιδιά αυτά έχουν ιδεολογικούς προσανατολισμούς αλλά αποφεύγοντας τις Κομματικές Αγκυλώσεις έχουν αποφύγει και τον εγκλωβισμό τους στο Κομματικό «μαντρί».

Η εξέγερση γεννιέται από το θέαμα της παραφροσύνης μπροστά σε μία άδικη κι ακατανόητη κατάσταση. Αλλά η τυφλή της ορμή διεκδικεί την τάξη μέσα στο χάος και την ενότητα μέσα στην ίδια την καρδιά αυτού που φεύγει και χάνεται. Φωνάζει, απαιτεί, θέλει να σταματήσει το σκάνδαλο και να γίνει επί τέλους σταθερό αυτό που μέχρι τώρα γραφόταν χωρίς ανάπαυλα πάνω στη θάλασσα. Το κίνημα της εξέγερσης στηρίζεται ταυτόχρονα πάνω στην κατηγορηματική άρνηση μιας παραβίασης που κρίνεται απαράδεκτη και την όχι πολύ ξεκάθαρη βεβαιότητα ενός σταθερού δικαιώματος ή σωστότερα την εντύπωση του επαναστατημένου ότι «έχει το δικαίωμα να...». Η εξέγερση δεν γίνεται χωρίς το αίσθημα ότι κάποιος κάπου έχει δίκιο. Εδώ είναι που ο επαναστατημένος λέει ταυτόχρονα και ναι και όχι. Επιβεβαιώνει ότι εκτός από το όριο υποψιάζεται πως κάτι υπάρχει που θέλει να διατηρήσει μέσα από το όριο.Αποδείχνει πεισματάρικα ότι υπάρχει μέσα του κάτι που «αξίζει τον κόπο να...». (Ο Επαναστατημένος Άνθρωπος – Αlbert Camust)

Τα παιδιά αυτά - ο Ιορδάνης, ο Γιάννης, η Κατερίνα, η Κική, η Πετρίνα, η Ντίνα, η Χριστίνα, η Μαρίνα, η Πέγκυ – (και πολλά άλλα τα ονόματα των οποίων θα δημοσιευθούν μετά το Δικαστήριο της 12ης Μαρτίου που θα γίνει μετά από δύο αναβολές στην πόλη της Έδεσσας)αποφάσισαν να ακολουθήσουν τον Νόμο 3549/2007 - ΦΕΚ 69/Α'/20.3.2007 που στοχεύει στην «Μεταρρύθμιση του θεσμικού πλαισίου για τη δομή και λειτουργία των Ανωτάτων Εκπαιδευτικών Ιδρυμάτων» όπου στο Αρθρο 22, με τίτλο « Συλλογική έκφραση - εκπροσώπηση στα Πανεπιστήμια» επισημαίνεται:
«Οι εργαζόμενοι στα Α.Ε.Ι., καθώς και οι φοιτητές ή σπουδαστές, είναι ελεύθεροι να εκφράζονται συλλογικά μέσα από τα συνδικαλιστικά τους όργανα που διευκολύνονται στη λειτουργία τους από τις αρχές των Α.Ε.Ι..και…η ανάδειξη των εκπροσώπων των φοιτητών στα πανεπιστημιακά όργανα γίνεται για ετήσια θητεία και μόνο από το νόμιμο φοιτητικό σύλλογο κάθε τμήματος, ο οποίος οφείλει να έχει συγκροτηθεί ως νομικό πρόσωπο ιδιωτικού δικαίου. Μέλη του φοιτητικού συλλόγου μπορούν να είναι όλοι οι φοιτητές του Τμήματος, εκτός από εκείνους που έχουν νομίμως διαγραφεί……..»

Στην προσπάθεια των φοιτητών και φοιτητριών του Τμήματος Μάρκετινγκ και Διοίκησης Λειτουργιών της Έδεσσας ΑΝΤΙΠΑΡΑΤΑΧΘΗΚΕ με πείσμα και με πακτωλό χρημάτων που ξοδεύθηκαν σε δικονομικές μεθοδεύσεις η Διοίκηση του Κεντρικού Φοιτητικού Συλλόγου του Πανεπιστημίου Μακεδονίας (ο οποίος είναι παγκοίνως γνωστό ότι ελέγχεται από την ΔΑΠ - ΝΔΦΚ και ο οποίος σύμφωνα με την κείμενη Νομοθεσία και την εκτίμηση έγκριτων Νομικών δεν είναι ΣΥΝΝΟΜΟΣ ιδιαίτερα μετά την δημοσίευση του παραπάνω Νόμου τον Μάρτιο του 2007).

Ο επαναστατημένος με την ετυμολογική έννοια αλλάζει στάση. Ξαφνικά παύει να είναι πειθήνιος! Θέλει να αντιτάξει κάτι που προτιμάει σε κάτι που δεν του αρέσει. Κάθε αξία δε συνεπάγεται και επανάσταση, αλλά κάθε κίνημα εξέγερσης συνεπάγεται σιωπηλά μία αξία. Ο επαναστάτης θέλει να είναι το παν, να ταυτίζεται ολοκληρωτικά με αυτό το αγαθό που συνειδητοποίησε ξαφνικά και που επιθυμεί να αναγνωρίζεται και να γίνεται σεβαστό σαν στοιχείο της προσωπικότητάς του, ή να είναι ένα τίποτα, δηλαδή να αποστερηθεί οριστικά τη δύναμη που τον κυριαρχεί. (Albert Camus)

Η ίδια Διοίκηση του – ΕΝΙΑΙΟΥ φοιτητικού συλλόγου του Πανεπιστημίου Μακεδονίας είχε αντιπαραταχθεί με πείσμα και με πολυέξοδο δικαστικό αγώνα στην προσπάθεια των φοιτητών του Τμήματος Διοίκησης Τεχνολογίας που εδρεύει στην Νάουσα να δημιουργήσουν τον δικό τους ανεξάρτητο φοιτητικό σύλλογο ως Νομικό Πρόσωπο Ιδιωτικού Δικαίου.

Στην Νάουσα, τελικά, οι φοιτητές δημιούργησαν τον δικό τους ΑΝΕΞΑΡΤΗΤΟ Σύλλογο ο οποίος ΑΠΟΚΛΕΙΕΤΑΙ ΜΕΘΟΔΙΚΑ από την συμμετοχή του στα δρώμενα του Τμήματος καθώς ο Προεδρεύων της Προσωρινής Γενικής Συνέλευσης του Τμήματος καθηγητής και Αντιπρύτανης κ Αθανάσιος Νούλας ΟΥΔΕΠΟΤΕ πληροφορεί την διοικούσα επιτροπή του Ανεξάρτητου Φοιτητικού Συλλόγου για τις ημερομηνίες Γενικών Συνελεύσεων – οπότε είναι διαφαινόμενη η προστασία των Πρυτανικών Αρχών στον ΕΝΙΑΙΟ Φοιτητικό Σύλλογο που ελέγχεται ΑΠΟΛΥΤΑ από την ΔΑΠ-ΝΔΦΚ του Πανεπιστημίου Μακεδονίας καθώς ο Πρύτανης καθηγητής κ Ηλίας Κουσκουβέλης ΑΡΝΕΙΤΑΙ να δεχθεί τους εκπροσώπους του στις συνεδριάσεις της ΣΥΓΚΛΗΤΟΥ!...

Παρόμοια προσπάθεια φοιτητών του Τμήματος Εφαρμοσμένης Πληροφορικής που εδρεύει στην Θεσσαλονίκη – στην έδρα του ΠΑΝΜΑΚ – ΠΟΛΕΜΗΘΗΚΕ με πείσμα!.. Στη συνέχεια, όμως, και μετά από δικονομικές και άλλες μεθοδεύσεις στελέχη της ΔΑΠ-ΝΔΦΚ δημιούργησαν έναν «δήθεν και γιαλαντζί» κατά τα λεγόμενα εκπροσώπων του συγκεκριμένου τμήματος Ανεξάρτητο Φοιτητικό Σύλλογο ο οποίος καθώς δημιουργήθηκε και ελέγχεται πλήρως από συγκεκριμένα μέλη της ΔΑΠ-ΝΔΦΚ έχει παραχωρήσει ΟΛΑ τα δικαιώματά του στον ΚΕΝΤΡΙΚΟ ΦΟΙΤΗΤΙΚΟ ΣΥΛΛΟΓΟ παραμένοντας από την ημέρα της Ίδρυσής του….μία ΣΦΡΑΓΙΔΑ καθώς αυτός ήταν ο ΣΤΟΧΟΣ και εκεί αποσκοπούσαν οι ΜΕΘΟΔΕΥΣΕΙΣ των...δημιουργών του!...

Στον “επαναστατημένο άνθρωπο" ο Albert Camus, ο μεγάλος, αδικοχαμένος, Γάλλος διανοούμενος σίγουρα εκφράζει τα δρώμενα στο Πανεπιστήμιο Μακεδονίας και την επαναστατημένη ομάδα φοιτητών που ΕΙΡΗΝΙΚΑ προσπαθεί να εφαρμόσει το Νόμο και βρίσκει ΑΠΕΝΑΝΤΙ της ως ΑΝΤΙΠΑΛΟΥΣ εκείνους που ΕΠΡΕΠΕ πρώτοι να τον εφαρμόσουν αλλά, προφανώς, εμποδίζονται από την απειλή στα συμφέροντά τους και από δεσμεύσεις με τις οποίες ίσως αναρριχήθηκαν σε θώκους εξουσίας! Ταιριάζει εδώ εκείνο το αρχαϊκό : «Αρχή Άνδρα Δείκνυσι…»

Σωπαίνοντας αφήνεις να πιστεύουν ότι δεν έχεις ούτε κρίση ούτε επιθυμία για τίποτα και σε μερικές περιπτώσεις πραγματικά δεν επιθυμείς τίποτα. Στην επανάσταση ο άνθρωπος γίνεται ο πλησίον του και από αυτήν την άποψη η ανθρώπινη αλληλεγγύη έχει μεταφυσικό χαρακτήρα. Απλούστατα, για την ώρα πρόκειται για κείνο το είδος αλληλεγγύης που γεννιέται μέσα στα δεσμά.
Μπορούμε λοιπόν να πούμε ότι κάθε επανάσταση που έχει σκοπό την άρνηση ή την καταστροφή της αλληλεγγύης χάνει αμέσως το όνομα επανάσταση και στην πραγματικότητα ταυτίζεται με μια εγκληματική συγκατάθεση….(Albert Camus)

Σεβαστέ μου κύριε Υπουργέ, Σεβαστή κυρία, Σεβαστέ κύριε πρώην ΥΠΕΠΘ θα περιμένω με υπομονή τις απόψεις σας στο επίμαχο θέμα, επειδή αυτήν την ΕΓΚΛΗΜΑΤΙΚΗ συγκατάθεση, όπως την χαρακτηρίζει ο Camus, (φρονώ ότι εκφράζει ο Πόλεμος που διενεργείται από τον ΕΝΙΑΙΟ Φοιτητικό Σύλλογο) που βόλεψε και βολεύει πολλούς όχι μόνο στην Έδεσσα ή τη Νάουσα ή το τμήμα Εφαρμοσμένης Πληροφορικής, όχι μόνο στο Πανεπιστήμιο Μακεδονίας αλλά σε όλη την τριτοβάθμια εκπαίδευση και άλλες δομές της σύγχρονης ελληνικής κοινωνίας. Αυτή την ΣΥΓΚΑΤΑΘΕΣΗ προσπαθούν να αναιρέσουν τα παιδιά που έχουν προσφύγει στη ΔΙΚΑΙΟΣΥΝΗ επιθυμώντας να γεννηθεί και να θεσμοθετηθεί ο ΑΝΕΞΑΡΤΗΤΟΣ ΦΟΙΤΗΤΙΚΟΣ ΣΥΛΛΟΓΟΣ του Τμήματος Μάρκετινγκ και Διοίκησης Λειτουργιών του Πανεπιστημίου Μακεδονίας στην Έδεσσα…

Κλείνοντας να επισημάνω το ενδεικτικά και καταλυτικά ΑΞΙΟΣΗΜΕΙΩΤΟ γεγονός ότι στα ΠΕΝΤΕ (5) ακαδημαϊκά έτη της ύπαρξης του Τμήματος Μ.Δ.Λ., τόσο ο πρώην Προεδρεύων της Προσωρινής Διοικούσας Επιτροπής του Τμήματος της Έδεσσας νυν Πρύτανης καθηγητής κ Ηλίας Κουσκουβέλης όσο και ο νυν Προεδρεύων Αναπληρωτής καθηγητής και Αντιπρύτανης κ Δημήτριος Σουμπενιώτης ΔΕΝ βρήκαν τον χρόνο – μήπως και τα απαιτούμενα ψήγματα αγάπης για τα παιδιά και την Πόλη – να ΚΑΝΟΥΝ έστω ΜΙΑ, ΕΣΤΩ ΜΙΑ, Γενική Συνέλευση του Τμήματος στην Έδεσσα…

Ο νοών, νοείτω!...
