Thousands of Veles citizens received taxes receipts written in FYROMian, but with Greek letters. The receipts were printed and sealed in envelopes automatically. The state is investigating the case and some commentators are suspicious of…Greek agents (!).

How many of these ordered, fabricated events the brainwashed FYROMian public will see remains a question……

In the short text titled “Banality of Evil” professor Frckoski said he had been recently contacted by a person who shared with him new information concerning the attempted assassination on the first FYROMian president Kiro Gligorov on 3 October 1995.

The new “witness”, who is at present employed with a private company, worked for the so-called 7th directorate of the FYROMian secret services (DBK) at the time of the assassination, and he was directly involved in the events surrounding one of the most traumatic events in recent FYROMian history. He told Frckoski, who at the time served as Interior Minister, that he suspected people from inside DBK to have been involved in the attempt on the president’s life.

The column echoed like a bomb. Much like that bomb from 13 years ago.

President Gligorov was nearly killed on his way to work when a car-bomb went off as his vehicle passed by in the very centre of Skopje in autumn of 1995. Gligorov lost an eye and his survival was close to miraculous. His driver and bodyguard were both killed.

A photo taken a day before the assassination, allegedly by a German tourist, showed the white Ami 8, which contained the explosive, parked in front of hotel Bristol in the very centre of town. In the investigation which followed, DBK agents event went to Germany to look for the German citizen. He was never found. Now Frckoski’s witness, as reported by the professor, says he was the “tourist”.

“I am the one who took the photo showing the Ami 8 in front of the hotel the day before the assassination”, Frckoski quotes the testimony of the former agent, “ A DBK official ordered me to take it; we were taking dozens of photos each day. He did not tell me why. I gave him the photos and the negatives and forgot about it. But when the photo appeared in the press with the explanation it has been made by a German tourist, and they went to look for him in Germany, I was petrified. How will they find him in Germany when he is here? I wrote a note on this to the supervisors, but it later disappeared. It is not in the file on the assassination.”

Frckoski also writes the witness told him that the Ami 8 had been procured by a DBK official.

“Professor, those who gave me the instructions, I know them by name. I recognized the person who bought the Ami 8, from the photo-robot [of an alleged suspect, made by the police], he is a DBK official and a colleague of mine, who told himself off by saying he bought an Ami 8 for his cousin from Aleksinac [Serbia]. He said this in front of me. This is a special DBK action. It is known who orders it and without whose knowledge it can be ordered.”

Frckoski concludes is his column that “this explains why foreign secret services did not have information on the assassination”. That is to say, because it was “cooked” at home.

The accusation caused shock with the public and a furious response by the Ministry of Interior. Spokesman Ivo Kotevski said if Frckoski did not stop using such serious issues for his personal amusement, he would be called in for questioning.

With more calm, Public Prosecutor Ljupco Shvrgovski, stated the Prosecution would talk to Frckoski to assess the relevance of the new information. “At this point we don’t know what we will get. But if we get new relevant information we will certainly act on it”, said Shvrgovski.

The very next day Frckoski reported in the Prosecution where, according to the media, he shared the information he had and the name of the new witness. “This is all I can do”, he said briefly to the press, “to share what I know”.

By the next day, according to the media, the Prosecution also had a written statement by the witness, and planned to have him in for an interview next week.

The Minister of Interior, Gordana Jankulovska had a meeting with Prosecutor Shvrgovski to coordinate action. No one wanted to share more details.

“This is an open case for us. Whenever we have new information, regardless of where it comes from, we verify it automatically”, Jankulovska said.

In the 13 years since the assassination the investigation never really got anywhere. There were different leads which steered it in various directions, and different people were considered potential suspects in the past, but nothing tangible ever came from it.

Quite a few people who had been involved in the case in one way or another, as officials, possible witnesses, or suspects, died over the years. The list, according to the media, includes among other former Public Prosecutor Marko Bundalevski, former DBK director Dobri Velickovski, investigative judge Zdravko Vasilev. According to reporters who followed the case more closely, some of the people involved in the assassination died under unclear circumstances. A police stenographer, Tanja Pavloska, was found with a bullet in her head near the Ministry; the gun was never found. The three policemen who drove behind the president’s car on the day of the assassination are all dead too; one died in a car crash, the other was run over by a train; the third died of a heart attack which was reportedly a result of the post-traumatic stress.

Experts agree Frckoski is not an accidental choice of confessor for the witness. As a minister, he was in charge and directly responsible at the time of the assassination. Following the assassination Frckoski handed in his resignation but Prime Minister Branko Crvenkovski did not accept it.

Many say the whole thing is a political manipulation.

Former public prosecutor Stevan Pavleski says witnesses such as this are always problematic. “They always have some motive when they report something like this”. But in his view, if what the witness is saying proves to be true, then the old theses that the assassination was prepared abroad will finally become invalid.

Former interior minister Pavle Trajanov accused Frckoski of “making constructions with previously known facts”.

“He has got things mixed up. He was the minister back then and he made mistakes which made the assassination stay unresolved…now he is constructing things based on known facts. He should explain why he ordered to have the President’s mercedes lifted up and the crime scene cleansed half an hour after the explosion.”

Trajanov further accuses Frckoski of not having investigated the close ties between structures in Serbian and FYROMian military intelligence at the time. “He should also explain why he never investigated the theft of explosives and detonators of the same type used in the assassination, from Macedonian Army storage” continues Trajanov.

In Trajanov’s view a big chance to resolve the assassination was missed with the fact that FYROMian authorities did not ask cooperation with Serbian one’s during the operation “Sablja” following the assassination of Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic. That was in his view the most relevant direction for the investigation.

Former President Kiro Gligorov, who turned 90 last year, did not want to comment the new revelations.

A small but quite revealing part of the Text:

“Remembering ‘Solun’

Yesterday it was exactly 94 years ago that Macedonia has lost the city of ‘Solun’ to the Greeks officially. It was on the day when the Greeks conquered Macedonia’s biggest city and expelled the Macedonians living there.”

By Samios Makedonas

The answer is simple and plain. Because somehow they live under a misguided notion. Particularly, they believe that by disassociating Greeks from ancient Macedonians, this will mean in their illusionary point of view, they, the descendants of the Slavic and Bulgar tribes that entered the Balkan peninsula in the 6th and 7th centuries, are the historical heirs and descendants of the ancient Macedonians who lived a thousand or more years earlier and who were Greeks by their own testimonies. One can hardly go further in Orwellian double-speak. This absurd notion supported increasingly among the Slavs of FYROM, makes as much sense as asserting that if someone manages to prove a car´s color is not white, this would surely mean it is black!

Furthermore Mr. Stefov embarks on an clumsy effort to spread mendacious disinformation as regards to the events of the early 20th century. Incorrectly he states “Didn´t Greece in 1912, 1913 invade and occupy a fully populated Macedonia?” while the truth is that nobody has invaded Macedonia in 1913 but instead during the first Balkan war, the Balkan coalition between Bulgaria, Serbia and Greece invaded Ottoman Empire, for the liberation of the Greeks, Bulgarians and Serbs who lived there. Sadly for the author´s empty claims there was not back then, any ethnicity called ´Macedonian´. The term was used merely as a geographical indicator.

To quote some accounts of contemporary self-witnesses that shatters Mr. Stefov´s unfounded claims and deliberate misinformation:

John Foster Fraser in his “Pictures from the Balkans” verifies: “But who are the Macedonians [5]? You will find Bulgarians and Turks who call themselves Macedonians, you find Greek Macedonians, there are Serbian Macedonians, and it is possible to find Rumanian Macedonians. You will NOT, however, find a single Christian Macedonian who is not a Serbian, a Bulgarian, a Greek, or a Rumanian. They all curse the Turk, and they love Macedonia. But it is Greek Macedonia, or Bulgarian Macedonia, and their eyes flame with passion, whilst their fingers seek the triggers of their guns”. He further adds “I have some hope that in years to come the inhabitants will think less of their Turkish, Bulgarian or Greek Origin and a great deal more with the fact that they are all Macedonians”[2].

Edmund Spencer in his “Travels in European Turkey, in 1850…”writes “The population of Uskioub [Note: Modern Skopje], consisting of Arnouts, Jews, Armenians, Zinzars, Greeks, Bulgarians and Serbians, amounts to upwards of twelve thousand” [3]. Again another clear evidence there was no “Macedonian” ethnicity back then but instead it´s a modern “invention”.

Additionally, John Van Antwerp Fine gives us a realistic portrait of the situation in the Macedonian region by writing: “Until the late nineteenth century both outside observers and those Bulgaro-Macedonians who had an ethnic consciousness believed that their group, which is NOW two separate nationalities, comprised a SINGLE people, THE BULGARIANS [4]. Thus the reader should IGNORE references to ethnic Macedonians in the Middle Ages which appear in some modern works. In the Middle Ages and into the nineteenth century, the term ´Macedonian´ was used ENTIRELY in reference to a geographical region. Anyone who lived within its confines, regardless of nationality could be called a Macedonian.”.

Furthermore, Arthur Douglas Howden Smith in 1908 adds: “It should be remembered, to begin with, that there is NO Macedonian race, as a distinct type [5]. Macedonians may belong to any of the races of Eastern Europe or Western Asia, as, indeed, they do. A Macedonian Bulgar is just the same as a Bulgar of Bulgaria proper, the old principality, that in October, 1908, at Tirnova, was proclaimed independent of Turkey. He looks the same, talks the same, and very largely, thinks the same way. IN SHORT HE IS OF THE SAME STOCK. There is no difference, whatsoever, between the two branches of the race, except that the Macedonian Bulgars, as a result of their position under the Turkish government, have less culture and education than their northern brethren.”

2. The ancient Macedonians prayed to the same Greek gods as the ancient Greeks.

The poorly-chosen argumentation reveals Mr.Stefov´s inconsistence with ancient history. His lack of evidence subsequently forces him to produce irrelevant anachronistic analogies with…Christianity even if it is more than obvious we are talking about issues having to do merely with classical ages. Mr. Stefov, for your discomfort, it is only Greeks which gave their deities the familiar Greek epithets, such as Agoraios, Basileus, Olympios, Hypsistos of Zeus, Basileia of Hera, Soter of Apollo, Hagemona and Soteira of Artemis, Boulaia of Hestia, etc and naturally Macedonians as being Greek themselves, were doing similarly which certainly is not the case for non-Greek people. Furthermore nowadays historians agree that Macedonians had the religious and cultural features of the rest Hellenic world.

ξύμμαχα και υπήκοα

I will briefly analyze the falsification of the author´s assertion, before presenting an enumeration of ancient sources [9] proving that Alexander launched a Pan-Hellenic campaign against Persia and through his conquests spread Hellenism in a vast colonizing wave throughout the Near East. Furthermore he created economically and culturally, a single world stretching from Greece to the Punjab in India with Greek (koine) as lingua franca. He built a network of almost thirty Greek cities throughout the empire, a building program that was expanded by later Hellenistic rulers. These became enclaves of Greek culture. Here gymnasia, baths, and theaters were built. The upper classes spoke koine Greek, wore Greek dress, absorbed Greek learning, adopted Greek customs, and took part in Greek athletics. Ancient sources reports as such and the pan-Hellenic character of his campaign were the definitive statements of the Macedonian royalty and nobility. We find Greek language, poleis, architecture, and art expand As far east as India. Even in Judaea of Roman times, there was a group of Jews called “The Hellenists”. The Greek language survived in the Indian region as late as about AD 120, when the Kushan king Kanishka, who ruled western India, Bactria, and Sogdiana (in an inscription) declared that Greek was to be replaced by “Aryan” (the Bactrian language).

Vs

Side B´

Athens, Beotian League (Thebes, etc), Euboean League, Achaean League, Corinth, Megara, Corcyra, Acarnania, Ambracia, Southern Phocis.

Neutral sides

Sparta, Argos, Arcadia, Messene. The three last had alliances both with Athens and Philip but their pro-Macedonian activity of 344/3 BC showed they were leaning towards Philip. However they didn´t sent aid to Chaeronea in Philip´s side because of the blocking in Isthmus by Corinth and Megara. Sparta had withdrawn almost entirely from Greek affairs in 344 BC.

Elis had an alliance with Philip though they didn´t take part in Chaeronea but showed their pro-Macedonian feelings by joining their forces with Philip in the invasion of Laconia in the autumn of 338 BC.

In other words, we find on both sides Greeks!!! We are dealing apparently with a Greek civil war!!

If this is translated to Mr. Stefov´s illusionary world that “Macedonians fought Greeks” then following the same irrational line of thought, we have to assume in Coronea “Spartans also confronted Greeks”.

Battle of Coronea (394 BC)

Combatants

Sparta Vs Thebes, Argos, and allies

In addition, the author adds “So, according to “Greek” logic, the Macedonians united the so-called “Greek” city states by subjugating and subordinating them under Macedonian control. By the same “Greek” logic we can conclude that Hitler too, in WWII, united the Europeans by subjugating them and placing them under German control.”

Here we get a trustful and genuine proof of the author´s selective quotation and hypocrisy. If we are to take his assertion as truthful, then the author ignores conveniently the fact that even the “Unification” between Lower Macedonia and the Upper Macedonian kingdoms by the Argead Royal house was forceful. In fact the annexation of Upper Macedonia took centuries to be successful.

According to the eminent historian prof. A. B. Bosworth [8]

2. Alexander The Great:“Your ancestors invaded Macedonia and the rest of Greece and did US great harm, though WE had done them no prior injury […] I have been appointed hegemon of the Greeks”

3. Alexander the Great speaking to his troops:There are Greek troops, to be sure, in Persian service — but how different is their cause from ours ! They will be fighting for pay— and not much of it at that; WE on the contrary shall fight for GREECE, and OUR HEARTS WILL BE IN IT. As for our FOREIGN troops —Thracians, Paeonians, Illyrians,Agrianes — they are the best and stoutest soldiers of Europe, and they will find as their opponents the slackest and softest of the tribes of Asia.

Pan-Macedonian President Nina Gatzoulis Speaks on Hellenic Human Rights Abuses commited by FYROM. The Rally was held at United States Mission to the UN, Located at 140 East 45th Street (between Third and Lexington Avenues)

When one studies genetics at a population level, one should not use one gene as a comparator. By doing so, they are using biased methods that will lead to misleading results. By chance, one gene may be similar between two totally different populations – simply BY CHANCE. One has to analyze MANY genes in order to link populations.

What did Arnaiz-Villena and his Skopjean partners do?

Well one way to simplify their analysis is the following: If we imagine that populations are animals, and if we analyze how similar they are one from another, we can understand how flawed Arnaiz-Villena’s analysis really is. Let’s say that FYROMians are tigers, Greeks are elephants, Ethiopians are dolphins, and other Europeans are various four legged land mammals. According to Arnaiz-Villena and his colleagues:

But elephants are like dolphins…

You can see how ridiculous this logic is. In reality, elephants are closer to other land mammals because they live on land, have four legs, and don’t have a blowhole. But if one were to only look at the colour gray, then he/she can make the assumption that elephants are closer to dolphins!

How did the scientific community react to Arnaiz-Villena’s flawed science? See Dr. Cavalli-Sforza’s letter of complaint to Nature, one of the largest and most respected scientific journals:

In their follow-up paper, an explanation was provided for the first paper’s findings, probably because when one submits a manuscript to a scientific journal, there are word limits and they thus required a second paper to describe their theories in greater detail. It is clear that they understand their findings are against all historical evidence when they claim that there needs to be a revision of history in order to fit in their theories.

Another completely ridiculous assumption is how the Japanese seem to be related to sub-Saharans as well. Using their faulty analysis, they link the Japanese to Ethiopians and Greeks and show it in a figure in their paper BUT DO NOT MENTION IT ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE REST OF THE PAPER. This explanatory hypothetical paper completely ignores this finding!

The authors of these 2 manuscripts take their pseudoscience a step further trying to explain that because there are Greeks who “Negroid” genes, their theory of black ancestry in Greeks is true!

First of all, Greeks are not the only “Caucasians” to carry “Negroid” genes. All humans “races” (for lack of a better word) have “Negroid” genes in their DNA. The origin of the human race is well known to have come from Africa. Arnaiz-Villena and his team’s theories do not hold water based on their assumption.

At the end of their papers, they provide references that they used to explain their hypothesis. Not only do they misquote Herodotus, they use Bernal’s Afro-centric theory to link the Greeks directly to Africans. M. Bernal views can be viewed as skewed and politically motivated to counter 19^th Century white racism against Africans. His book Black Athena was not well received in the academic community. In fact, in 2003, the Intercollegiate Studies Institute (a non-profit US educational organization comprised of over 50 000 academics) listed Black Athena as one of the worst books of the twentieth century.

THE RELATIONSHIP OF GREEKS TO SUB-SAHARAN AFRICANS?

An Analysis of Hate and Racism Coming from Skopjeans;

The Arnaiz-Villena Theory:

Another Skopjean Myth Exposed and Explained

Over the last few years there has been a great deal of historical revision stemming from Skopje’s need to legitimize it’s state’s place in the society of nations. As FYROM’s first Foreign Minister stated on Greek television MEGA in November 1996:

“In the Balkans, to be recognized as a nation you need to have a history of 2.000 to 3.000 years old. Since, therefore, you made us invent a history, WE INVENTED IT!!”

However, an even uglier trend among Skopjeans and their sympathizers is the idea of negating Greece’s legitimacy to not only Greek history, but Greece’s legitimacy to it’s citizens’ dignity as human beings. Using pseudoscience and theories reminiscent of Hitler’s and Goebbels’s ideas about a blond blue-eyed Aryan nation, they fill the internet with hate and lies aimed at Greeks who they now call “black” and “African”. Furthermore, they claim that Greeks could not be related to Ancient Macedonians because the Ancient Macedonians were not black. Even more shocking is the theory that Ancient Macedonians are directly related to the citizens of FYROM because they both are supposedly blonder than the Greeks. This is of course ridiculous as the citizens of FYROM are not blonder or taller than their southern neighbors the Greeks. Somehow they think that by calling Greeks “African” it is shameful to Greeks. It is clear that it is Skopjean propagandists that think blacks are inferior to whites otherwise they would not be promoting such racist propaganda. This disturbing trend is becoming louder over the web and has gained semi-official status in Skopje and its diaspora. Slowly but surely Greeks are “dark-skinned”, and “homosexuals”, and an inferior race. In a twist of nationalist hysteria, Skopjean propagandists call Greeks “fascists” and “Nazi racists” because they view Greece’s opposition to their adoption of the Greek name “Macedonia” and their appropriation of Greek history as their own as simply chauvinistic and ultimately racist. They also feel that a huge wrong has been done to them claiming that Greeks have always oppressed “ethnic Macedonians”.

Here are some examples of hate messages posted by Skopjeans and their diaspora on Internet forums:

“WHEN A GREEK LOOKS IN THE MIRROR…

“Macedonia is Macedonian.

Everybody HATES the Ethiopian gayreeks.”

“The Greeks have a long boisterous history of homosexuality, pedafilia [sic] and bestiality. That is a history to be proud of!”

                                                                                    grikos homosexolopoulos

Where and when did all of this start? Starting in 2001, Antonio Arnaiz-Villena, a Spanish geneticist, published three papers claiming that modern Greeks are closely related to Ethiopians, but modern “Macedonians” are one of the oldest peoples in Europe closely related to Basques and therefore descendants of Alexander the Great. He and his team (including K. Dimitrovski, M. Blagoevska, and V. Zdravkovska from the Institute of Blood Transfusion in Skopje) conveniently used one gene to link Greeks to Ethiopians and “ethnic Macedonians” to other Europeans. The first paper was published in an obscure genetics journal called Tissue Antigens in 2001, and the second paper (which was an explanatory paper of the first hypothesis) was published in the same journal in 2002. The third paper which was initially published in the journal Human Immunology was eventually withdrawn because it dealt with the politics of the Middle East and involved an analysis of Jewish and Palestinian DNA as well.

As a scientist, I am appalled and I do not consider myself a colleague of these individuals because they have cleverly used science as a cloak of hatred against Greeks. Politics and medicine/science last mixed during the reign of the Nazis.

Let’s analyze the 2 first papers:

They further go on to quote Herodotus of all people and claim that he said, “Dorians (Macedonians) were not considered Greek”!

In fact the complete opposite is true. Herodotus repeatedly has written about the Greekness of Ancient Macedonians. In his work Histories, he writes of the Greeks: “… those who dwell in our land are called Ionians, Aeolians and Dorians.” Herodotus also explains how Alexander I of Macedonia was Greek and was eventually admitted to the Olympic Games:

“Men of Athens, had I not greatly at heart the common welfare of Hellas I should not have come to tell you; but I am myself Hellene by descent, and I would not willingly see Hellas exchange freedom for slavery.

If you prosper in this war, forget not to do something for my freedom; consider the risk I have run, out of zeal for the Hellenic cause, to acquaint you with what Mardonius intends, and to save you from being surprised by the barbarians. I am Alexander of Macedon. ” (Histories, 9.45)

When Alexander I attempted to compete at Olympia, Herodotus relates how “the Greeks who were to run against him wanted to bar him from the race, saying that the contest should be for Greeks and not for foreigners. Alexander, however, proving himself to be an Argive, was judged [by the officials] to be a Greek.” (Histories, 5:22)

For further quotes from Herodotus, please visit Ancient writers about Macedonia - Herodotus

Further in the paper, they discuss their findings and start hypothesizing how Greeks could be related to sub-Saharan Africans:And apparently, according to their revisionist view of history, the migrating Ethiopians skipped over Crete so they didn’t “admix”, as they call it, with Cretans and settled directly in all of Greece sparing ALL other Mediterranean areas.

 The following is their theory along with a map showing this supposed migration (from the second paper):

Notice on this map (above), how the Ethiopians “flew” over Crete to land directly in Greece.
