  1. The utter rascal seems to suggest I 'm tolerant of Golden Dawn activities and I 'm not.
  2. The "witnesses" are not dead and most of them are Erdogan propaganda. I don't deny the possibility, there are golden dawny civils ervants out and about. Among the judiciary first and foremost. But in my case I phoned one of the top Syriza lawyers, ms Chryssa Papadopoulos, unbeknownst to my family who wanted me to have a certain other lawyer. This woman was in the big trial of the golden dawn leadership and she has published a book as well "how I defeated the golden dawn". I says to her "this is a such and such case - but so as not to keep you 20-30 minutes on the phone to relate to you the whole story, I 'd like an appointment". She says "ok I will call you in a few days", The few days pass - no phonecall. I attempt to call back twice, no response. What happened ? She found out I 'm not Syriza obviously. Syriza and the left wanted golden dawn to grow big and kill more people so as to start a civil war. I phoned her again on Saturday and asked her just for the record. Very hostile.
  3. Many of those migrants are Erdogan spies and they are lying. Generally people who are pushed back also lie. While we can't rule out that some coastguards behaved criminally, it's a dangerous business crossing the sea with inflatable rafts. The pushbacks began you know when ? In 2016 by the Tsipras left wing government who invited the KFOR force as well. Before that there was no KFOR. Of course I never quite understood why saving a man at sea means we also give him immigrant status. I don't understand it in the case of the St. Louis either, when the Americans refused to let it sail to port. Those Jews could have been just temporarily sheltered.
  4. Yes, ok. This story is like the "Charilaos prem" we used to have. Who was Charilaos and what was his "prem" ? Charilaos (Florakis) was the leader of the Greek communist party. The "prem" was a small percentage he was gifting to the socialists knowing that the Communist Party could never win an election. New Democracy knowing this was trying to avert it by being as nice to the commies as they possibly could. They stopped calling them names and things like that. So it's the same story. Now what most people here don't like is the law allowing adoption of infants not prevention of discrimination. We digress. What I like to know is are there people voting far right for other than the usual right wing themes ?
  5. WHO ARE THE FAR RIGHT VOTERS ? I have explained the origins of their far right. To summarise their strong points are as follows: a) Against Immigration. b) Against covid vaccine. c) Against EU. d) Against laws favouring homosexuals. e) Strong views on nationalistIc issues which vary from country to country. f) Sympathy for Putin and his invasion of Ukraine. g) Antisemitism. It's not as if only the far rightists believe in (a) to (g). For example (c) is shared with the communists. Also (d) - certainly it's not only the rightist who believes in the necessity of defending one's nation ! But those are the principal policies of the far right. Of old it used to be anti-tradeunionism as well but that seems to be forgoten now. About the "communist danger" it used to be their big weapon and they still talk about it here and there but now that too seems to be forgoten. But at the same time people have many other problems. People always have problems. Remember Charlie Chaplin ? In 1952 he was expelled from America for alleged procommunist talk. In fact Charlie Chaplin made a speech criticising the government for not helping the poor people of America. This was regarded as procommunist - and may have been, I don't know. But the point is who remembers the early 50s for "the poor people of America" ? It's called the American boom rather those years ! So this demonstrates that people, or some people, always have problems even when the national economy does well. So the people of the European countries nowadays have lots and lots of other problems: - Taxes - Unemployment - Standard of living, prices So if somebody does not subscribe to the other right wing policies is it possible they vote for them for those reasons, to protest ? It looks to me that if they had an alternative course of action they would never do that. But if they have n't ? What do you think ? To be honest with everybody I have never come across such people: No right wing but vote right wing because of the economy. All I know is former junta elements and the like. Share with me your exeprience on this.
  6. NF's Reform seems to be the second party in the British elections after Labour. Why is he considered capable of creating more mischief than the Tories ? Can you explain that ?
  7. A coloured man not subjected to race discrimination may well become conservative. I lived for a while in a house in Essex belonging to an Iraqi once upon a time. This man had the following properties: Scrooge: I bought a lamp for my room one day and it was 100 watts. When he saw it he unscrewed it and replaced it with one of 40 watts. Then he invited me to the living room one Saturday night to watch "match of the day" with Jimmy Hill. It was freezing cold that day. He did not turn on a heater - sat on a chair next to me with his overcoat, covered with a blanket and was watching the tv like that. Conservative: He liked Margaret Thatcher. Friend of George Gale (George G. Ale): Remember the character doing the LBC phone in program ? Every morning he was chatting on the phone with him, saying Tory nonsense. It's not unnatural. After all Toryism is a political ideology having to do with the economy. Race discrimination exists because it is a good method of vote catching for them, not for other reasons. Got fed up and left of course. But he had a wife who was -I 'm sure- on the look out for a good sh*g. It's a pity I paid only scant attention.
  8. So that was dem propaganda then "the reps will take your wife away because she is not black". Reminds of my old classics teacher at school though. An ultra conservative, military wife when summer was near she used to say to me "you are ready for the nightingales from the north and you don't pay attention in the class". The nightingales from the north were the Swedish girls of course yet why she thought it was so easy to catch one of those broads still baffles me.
  9. We always had to present an ID at the poll station. I kept my old one for as long as I could because it said "christian orthodox" but I had to change it with an electronic one in the end. Strangely the cop who did it for me was asking questions about my family going back to the 19th century - seemingly irrelevant. I think I impressed him when I said my grandad fought in Flanders.
  10. Don't get this. He would give them white women you mean, not take. But I find this pathological. Why like white women if you are black ? It's like old sci fi movies where the monsters from outer space were abducting the blondes. To the monster from outer space the blonde woman is the monster, nature says. If someone promised me to give me black women I would say "bring them" but would n't make me vote for his party.
  11. LET'S TALK ABOUT COMMUNISM AND THE EXTREME RIGHT In modern Europe and America most people don't give a tosh about communism. Even the former rabid communist hunters rarely make a mention. They might if invited to some kind of history debate, but otherwise don't bother. This is the situation after the demise of the USSR. Yet does it mean communists do not exist any longer or they have been reformed ? No it does n't mean that. They no longer have a power centre and re. red China it's too far to have any political influence. But communism is still here with us and they are just as numerous as they were during the Mc Carthy - UAC days who were chasing them. They are not the majority or near majority. This has always been the case yet their power to influence and dupe people was never diminished. They lost their nukes (belong to Putin now) but not their political identity. Communism has always been a failure in western societies, starting from 1919 when they took over Russia. What is the basis of their thesis ? It's the abolition of property and the establishment of total state control. Even the clothpegs with which you hang the washing will not belong to you but to the state. The system if applied once but at the same titme democratic process is not done away with will result in this: Next time round they poll 0% of the vote. So how to avoid the 0% ? You avoid it with the gun. This is communism in a nutshell yet nevertheless it has its proponents. What were the fairy tale stories communists believe in ? Once upon a time they believed in the spontaneous revolution of the masses. The workers storm out of the factories, huge masses of people march into the towns, the communist rule is eastablished. Did n't happen anywhere except in Russia under the peculiar circumstances of world war I. Even that was not a communist revolution though. It was a revolution against the czar and gradually the communist party dominated all the other revolutionaries. In the west this proved a fairytale. Nowadays the communist parties of the world still believe in the mass exodus of the workers from the factories, but it's a metaphysical thing now - maybe it will happen at some distant future day. Another thing the communists seemed to believe in was that the army soldiers could unite with the enemy army soldiers and together become a single communist army. Thus in the Greco-Italian war of 1940 the stance of the Greek communist party was that the Greek and Italian soldiers should drop their guns, unite and bring communism. Imagine, the Greeks who were figthing for king and country after the despicablr provocations and the unprovoked invasion, laying down their arms. Imagine also the Italian fascists who were fanaticised by Il Duce doing the same ! This nonsense did not last long is true and even some Greek communists fought hard in those battles, but that was communist doctrine, that's what their newspaper wrote initially. But apart from these demonstrably silly ideas the communists were always polotting and scheming, they had many more insidious plans and never gave up. Now the other side of the coin. Is communism they only tyrannical system ever existed ? Hardly. There was Hitler - Hirohito - Salazar - Franco, the old absolute monarchies ... Since Hitler does not exist anymore there was no CIA equivalent after the war to chase nazis - nazism was just unimportant anymore. But the nazi system once existed as well as all the others. Now we are witnessing a rebirth of nazism. But it's not true that this is a new thing, or a relatively new thing, These people existed for as long as we can remember but they used to be disorganized. They used to vote for the traditional conservative parties without making noises. Now no longer so and the starting point was again the year USSR was erased from the map. No longer need to participate in a common anticommunist front. Down to the last I know from among them belongs to this group of, despicable indeed, individuals. Can this be countered now ? Maybe but looks extremely difficult. And it looks extremely difficult precisely because of the attitude of the communist-fellow traveling left. It's a false argument to put forward in the sense that a communist is always a communist, we can't change him. But I 'm talking to the lots of people who have been duped, became part of the communist conspiaracy after brainwashing. Communism has no hope in the democratic system of government, imperfect such as it is. But they actuallt look forward to the extreme right taking over power. They believe this will last for some time and then it's their turn. So the real big problem for Europe is them and the way the left have managed to dupe people. The political centre is dead, cannot confront the right wing onslaught or any other onslaught. The big problem is not the extreme right wingers, because those always existed. So in this way five-ten years from now civilization as we know it may be dead.
  12. For whatever happens to the world and to Europe the left is entirely to blame. Not the fascists. Because you can't blame a jungle animal for being a jungle animal. Those who have been duped by the left are to blame.
  13. What is happening here is this: The far right was always with us and it was not only the fringe groups such as the BNP, KKK as some people believe. Take for exapmple Greece before the dictatorship of 1967. The conservative party's strength was about 35%. Thay could n't have been more otherwise they could govern and there would be no case for dictatorship. But about half of them were nicknamed "the hard core" - they were openly pro dictatorship before the dictatorship. One of the leaders of the hard core was Evangelos Averof (nowadays regarded as one of the historic statesmen of Greece). This man was the number one arch-enemy of the Papandreous and after the restoration of democracy in 1974 he continued to be their number one arch-enemy. But he was also an acquaintance of my father, who was a Papandreou voter. They knew each other from a chess club they both used to frequent. So ten days after the so called revolution they meet each other in the street and in slow voice Averof says to my father "the country is now in a terrible situation my friend". When my father came home and related to me this story I was surprised but not so terribly surprised really because I had already gathered an idea of what was going on. Averof therefore took a stand against the dictatorship, but his supporters, the 17-18% ? The way we knew them and the way they used to behave makes that unlikely. They were stuck in the conservatvie "National Radical Union", then the leadership of the National Radical Union declared themselves against the dictatorship, but ? For the UK similar things can be said about the Tory ultras (make the trains run on time and the rest). All of them folks -or their sons, daughters- at some time became autonomous and we see what we see now. The real big problem is in the rest of the population. The lunatic left and the commies dominate decisively. So one or the other is maybe destined to dominate and impose their kind of dictatorial rule.
  14. Varoufakis was not elected or came anywhere near. Anyway he used to be an orderly of Tsipras the other clown. What they really meant -but don't dare to admit- was to ally themselves with Putin in return for economic assistance. But the Russians are not known for their gallantry. However Putin gave to Tsipras a puppy dog. Varoufakis is also a neo-marxist in economic matters (let the poor make consortium with Rolls Royce and all that).
  15. I 'm sure you would vote for that clown. The SA will make both of us scrub the pavement however - that's what it's coming down to.
  16. It is scary allover Europe. I predict the establishment parties will start showing respect for the extreme right, leading to harsh police state, violence and counter-violence. It does n't look good and of course I cannot believe the extreme right wingers have in mind -or ever had in mind- to make things better for the people in the economic sphere of things. What most of them used to do was to beg factory owners to hire them as strike breaking force and half of those factory owners actually hired them to do that while the other half did not. But the rightists had more aces up their sleeves, besides their fake patriotism and hate campaigns against immigrants. One was the covid vaccine. They have enlisted lots of idiots to their ranks with the anti-vaccine propaganda. The other was the LBGTQ legislation. The Mitsotakis government rather pointlessly allowed child adoption by LBGTQ people - now they have paid for this. It's not however true that the right wing actually won the +5% they claim. Because they were favoured by the differential turnout. The New Democrats -like me- did not bother to turn up because of the governments stupid recent policies. The right wingers turned up with their wives and children to vote for their rubbish parties. Similar things must have happened all over the continent and as for the socialist - left opposition, those are imbeciles from birth. I 'd rather vote for the communist party -the real mc coy- any day despite the gulags than them.
  17. Greek euro results: New Democracy (centre right they call themselves): Smacked. 27% from 41% in the general election last year. It's well beyond the expected drop in a loose euro-election. Syriza. (left - eurocommunist - Hamas): Mini revival, probably 15%. Pasok (socialists): False dawn from the once omni-powerful, omni-much money greens. No revival. Only 11.5%. Extreme right: Without banned Golden Dawn in it whose business was to deface the national monuments, got 16%. It's three of them now but that was some progress. Naturally those all went to vote, together with wives and children, whereas the total turnout was pretty slim. Communist party: Their usual 8%. No plus, no minus. New Democracy suffered because of their harsh economic policies (overtaxing the poor people), because of the price inflation and because of their pro-LBGTQ legislations. But in the absence of serious political opposition they won't resign. Extreme right result was expected. Syriza mini revival and Pasok failure is the mystery and in fact it's why we won't have a serious political opposition. It appears the appeal of the true centre (or approximately true centre) is gone for good and we don't even have the atmosphere of anger of 2012-15 now. This last is the most worrying aspect of the result.
  18. Meanwhile Germany are pressing Greece but fraudgaties are on the backfoot !
  19. Over 10 corners fraudgate team x over 10 corners Germany, triomfio,
  20. If the bookies are right it's all but Trump craze now in America. I tend to attribute this to the over-wokism exhibited by the Trump administration. If one has progressive policies he can't overshoot the mark, much more so if those policies are not truly progerssive but represent marxist and neomarxist ideas. The wokes went so far as to ban the straws with which we sip lemonade and intoduced charges for the plastic bags (Tunbergism). So Trump wins, just like Thatcher in the eighties when she was sweeping the boards. Putin is over the moon as also the Iranian imams.
