Miko: Greece’s new proposal for name is direct provocation

-
For the U.S. analyst Jason Miko, Greek proposal for Macedonia to rename into Slavic-Albanian Macedonia is a direct provocation by Greece and is indication that is not interested to resolve the name dispute.


- Recently, Daniel Serwer analyst with long experience gave its views on the recent proposal by the Greeks to rename Macedonia into Albanian Slavic Macedonia. In its analysis, Server clearly indicates that this is a direct provocation by Greece, especially from the Prime Minister Samaras and Minister of Foreign Affairs Venizelos. He also said that Prime Minister Samaras, back in 2009, when he was not Prime Minister, said that Macedonia at some point would be divided between Bulgaria and Albania. This will not happen, though at his current position as Prime Minister Samaras is doing everything he can to make this happen by refusing to negotiate with proposing absurd names. He is not right, he knows he is not right, the international community knows that Samaras is not right, but there is no pressure over Greece due to their financial situation as it can affect the Euro zone. Life is not fair and this is a perfect example of such unfairness, said Miko in the interview for “Voice of People” on Sun TV.

All this, says Miko, is suggesting to rumors from the past that Ali Ahmeti has had  engaged in own free diplomacy meeting with Greek leadership and perhaps, even suggesting that the proposed name would be acceptable name for Albanians in Macedonia.

- I am sure, that Albanians in Macedonia have no problem with the name of Macedonia; they generally want a solution, any solution with Greece. However, Ahmeti engaged into free diplomacy is wrong, Macedonians reluctantly agreed to the Ohrid Framework Agreement; the Albanians in Macedonia have to agree with the name Macedonia and identity that goes with it. At the same time, we may be are approaching to the time when Ahmeti wants to blackmail the Prime Minister, Nikola Gruevski to agree on a new name or to face early elections. However, it is a normal part of the internal domestic politics, says Miko.

In the interview, he refers to Macedonia’s membership in EU and NATO and blockades which disable Macedonia full membership.

- Server also stressed that Macedonia should join NATO under the provisional reference, under the Interim Accord of 1995. He also points out that it was wrong Athens to block Macedonia’s entry into NATO under the provisional reference. That is the point where Server, and many others like him, was also wrong. Server uses the phrase “FYROM”, and he called it name. Two things: first, “FYROM” is not a legal name; it is an acronym and has no legal basis or use anywhere in the world. Secondly, the “temporary” and “temporary reference” under UN Resolution 817 from 1993 should be used for all purposes “within the United Nations” and therefore should not be admitted to NATO, the EU and other organizations. The fact that they use shows that they do not understand the meaning of names, identity and the importance of upholding the rule of law, says analyst Miko.

He believes that “political machinations that are done are not useful for Macedonia, but also bad for the United States and other countries, as it proves that international blackmail are functioning.

- And if they work in a country, they can work with all countries. If U.S. wants long-term stability in the region, they have to “push” Macedonia in NATO, even if it is under the provisional reference. Yes, it would violate the NATO rules, but NATO rules already have been violated many times, not just for this issue. Greeks are upset, but they will do? What can they do except continue to cry like little babies? It is the personal interest of U.S. to support Macedonia in this issue, not to run away from it, he says.

He added that in the meantime, Macedonia should continue to work on attracting foreign direct investment and domestic investment, the creation of conditions that allow the private sector to grow and create new jobs, and to continue with the numerous reforms, regardless whether it will ever become EU member or not.

- Macedonia must continue to strengthen its armed forces, their capabilities and overall preparedness (especially when it comes to issues of cyber – war) of the armed forces and separately from the international community, since they will not be of any help in the this area. It must work to explain citizens who are ethnic Albanians in Macedonia that even if Macedonia never becomes member of NATO or EU, it will be fine. Ethnic Albanians in Macedonia mistakenly believe that membership in NATO is mandatory. It is not. Although Macedonia is not a member, it already cooperates closely with NATO. Macedonia has no external enemies that will attack Macedonia and continues to strengthen its armed forces and their capabilities. All these things together mean that even if Macedonia never become NATO member, everything will be fine. That is a fact. The main reason why foreigners love Macedonia in NATO today is to be saved from the shame created by a NATO member, which behaves as a baby, says the analyst, Jason Miko.

Macedonia’s future, he said, is at the Macedonian people. – Freedom is never free and it is never guaranteed. Each new generation should fight for it; it should to be passed to the next generation so that they can fight for it. It remains to you Macedonia. You can do it, that I am sure, says Miko in the interview.

THE GREEK HERACLES WAS A BLACK MAN AND THE AFRICAN INFLUENCE ON GREEK AESTHETICS

By Samuel David Ewing It has occurred to me lately as I pondered about the next article for this section that the lineage, pedigree, or family tree of the Greek Heracles must be clarified once and for all. Diodorus Siculus and Herodotus recorded that it was the Egyptian Heracles who was the hero who performed the legendary 12 Labors, subdued the animals of the wild that had threatened the people, ushered in the building of cities, water systems, fortifications, and laws. Walter Burkert has estimated that this original Heracles was renowned as far back as 20,000 years ago. The Greek Heracles ended up receiving honors for the accomplishments of his predecessor, having the title of "Heracles", furthermore by the Bronze Age of Greece in which the Greek Heracles was said to have lived the taming of the wilderness had already been accomplished. The Greek Heracles was not likely to be wearing lion skin armor, wielding a club, with spear as weapons, and the danger of lions ru

Griechenland: 2,5 MRD Euro Stromschulden – Versorger schaltet bald erste 50.000 Kunden ab!

-
In Griechenland wird der staatliche Stromversorger in Kürze damit beginnen in einem ersten Schritt 50.000 Stromkunden den Saft abzudrehen. Die Außenstände belaufen sich insg. auf 2,5 Milliarden Euro. Betroffen werden vor allem Firmenkunden sein. Eine Katastrophe für die (vorhandene?) Konjunkturerholung. Es gibt einen handfesten Grund, warum die Höhe der Stromrechnungen in den letzten Jahren explodierte… Griechenlands staatlicher Stromversorger PPC hat Außenstände bei Stromkunden von insg. 2,5 Milliarden Euro, 1,8 Milliarden davon bei gewerblichen Kunden. Schulden haben insg. 2,1 Mio Stromkunden in Griechenland. Wenn man das umlegt auf die Gesamtsumme, wären das rein rechnerisch 1.190 Euro Schulden pro Stromkunde, aber bei 1,8 von 2,5 Milliarden Schulden durch gewerbliche Kunden dürften die Privatkunden natürlich deutlich kleinere Summen offen haben. In einem ersten Schritt will PPC demnächst 50.000 Stromkunden den Saft abdrehen nach vorheriger Mahnung, so berichtete es vor Kur

Griechenland: Sozialkassen schaffen parallele Staatsverschuldung

-
FMW-Redatkion Die Sozialkassen in Griechenland schaffen derzeit eine Art parallele Staatsverschuldung. Da die annehmen, dass ihre Löcher aus den jetzt fließenden 86 Milliarden Euro vom 3. Hilfspaket nicht gestopft werden, haben sie angefangen in Eigenregie Kredite aufzunehmen. Da sie Rentenfonds, Krankenkassen etc staatliche Einrichtungen sind, erhöht sich damit per Saldo die Staatsschuldenlast Griechenlands noch weiter, auch wenn der Staat Griechenland kaum darum bemüht sein dürfte diese Extra-Schulden in seine eigenen Schulden einzurechnen. Aber Schulden sind Schulden. Wie die angesehene griechische Zeitung „Ekathimerini“ berichtet, hat das „Social Insurance Institute“ im August ein kurzfristiges Darlehen (wird wohl eine Dauerumschuldung) über 110 Mio Euro aufgenommen. 70 Mio davon gab man an seinen öffentlichen Versicherungsfonds weiter, 40 Mio davon an seinen kommunalen Versicherungsfonds. Auch schieben das „Social Insurance Institute“ und der „Generational Solidarity

Nikos Dimou: Greece has already lost in the name issue

- Greece has already lost in the case of the name issue. Ninety – five percent of the countries in the world accept the name Macedonia, and we continue to discuss this, said Nikos Dimou, a member of the Greek political party “Potami” (River) when guesting the show on Sky television. Dimou, a renowned Greek writer with more than 60 published books , said he supports a solution based on a composite name with a geographical qualifier, but added that he agrees that Macedonia can be called whatever they want “Macedonia as well”. - The name issue was mismanaged by the Greek government from the very beginning. It is a question for which we have already lost, Dimou said. As MIA reports from Athens, he added that it is his personal view and not the party’s, as he said, ” it has not established a position on this issue”. Dimou’s statement met with strong reactions by some Greek media. The electronic edition of “Hellene Elisis” commented that “the new party discovered their g
