We have already mentioned intensively the issue of the Greek abducted children in many previous articles [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. Today we will provide a wide collection of contemporary Greek newspaper articles related to the abduction of Greek children from Communist guerillas.

Many Thanks to our good friend Peter from Australia for his contribution.

Μετά και την δημοσιοποίηση της είδησης οτι στα Σκόπια χτίζεται απο τους Αμερικανούς βάση μεγαθήριο ”πρεσβεία”, που έκανε τον γύρο της μπλογκόσφαιρας, σκοπιανοί, άσπονδοι ”φίλοι” μας, θεώρησαν σωστό να μας παραχωρήσουν επιπλέον φωτογραφίες του εργοταξίου, που τράβηξαν οι ίδιοι, με το σκεπτικό όχι βέβαια να συνεισφέρουν στην ενημέρωση των Ελληνικών μπλογκ, αλλά να μας…”ανησυχήσουν” απο την προστασία που χαίρουν απο την άλλοτε υπερδύναμη, οπότε και θεωρούμε καθήκον μας να τις δημοσιεύσουμε περαιτέρω.

Φυσικά και εμείς τους ευχαριστούμε, παρ’ όλα αυτά.

Σύμφωνα με το παρόν δημοσίευμα και για το οποίο αναμένονται περισσότερες πληροφορίες στο εγγύς μέλλον, το εβδομαδιαίο περιοδικό Der Spiegel δημοσιεύει άρθρο με τον τίτλο:

«Fyrom πρεσβεία και κέντρο της CIA;»

Στα Σκόπια κατασκευάζεται υπό άκρα μυστικότητα η μεγαλύτερη αμερικανική πρεσβεία των Βαλκανίων. Εκτείνεται σε έκταση 11 εκταρίων ( 110 στρεμμάτων ) και σύμφωνα με τα σκοπιανά ΜΜΕ το τεράστιο κτιριακό συγκρότημα θα περιλαμβάνει επιπρόσθετα 10 με 15 υπόγειους ορόφους. Πρόσβαση στο εργοτάξιο έχουν μόνο η αρμόδια αμερικανική κατασκευαστική εταιρεία Brown & Root και εργάτες της σκοπιανής εταιρείας Grant, οι οποίοι έχουν υποχρεωθεί σε απόλυτη μυστικότητα. Η Grant στην δεκαετία του ’80 είχε κατασκευάσει και το υπόγειο καταφύγιο του Σαντάμ Χουσεϊν και φέρεται την άνοιξη του 2003, κατά την επίθεση στην Βαγδάτη, να έδωσε στην Ουάσινγκτον τα παλιά σχέδια που είχε στην κατοχή της. Η νέα πρεσβεία αναμένεται να κοστίσει συνολικά 100 εκατομμύρια δολάρια. Γύρω από το γιγάντιο νέο κτίσμα θα δημιουργηθεί μια μεγάλη ζώνη ασφαλείας. Οι αμερικανοί θέλουν να πείσουν τους τσιγγάνους Roma που ζουν στην περιοχή να αλλάξουν τόπο κατοικίας καταβάλλοντάς τους χρηματικές αποζημιώσεις. Στην Φυρομ κυκλοφορούν οι φήμες ότι στα Σκόπια δεν δημιουργείται μόνο μια διπλωματική αποστολή, αλλά επιπλέον το τοπικό κέντρο της CIA και το λογιστικό κέντρο για την στρατιωτική βάση των ΗΠΑ στο Κόσοβο, στην Βουλγαρία και στη Ρουμανία. Η Φυρομ θεωρείται ως ιδιαίτερα πιστός σύμμαχος των ΗΠΑ.

Συμπληρώνω επίσης:

Η εταιρεία Halliburton που ανέλαβε και το χτίσιμο της αχανούς και τεράστιας βάσης Camp Bondsteel,  και η Brown & Root, συνδέονται άμεσα με τον Dick Cheney και την Αμερικανική κυβέρνηση, και με πολλές βάσεις και εξοπλισμούς, διασκορπισμένες σε όλα τα Βαλκάνια και το Αφγανιστάν, όπως επίσης και μελέτες επάνω στον μελλοντικό αγωγό Βουλγαρίας - Σκοπίων - Αλβανίας που θεωρείται ανταγωνιστής του Μπουργκάς - Αλεξανδρούπολης. Επίσης σύμφωνα με το συγκεκριμένο άρθρο του 2002, μελέτες απο την συγκεκριμένη εταιρεία έχουν γίνει και σε ένα κομμάτι της…Εγνατίας Οδού. Όπως αντιλαμβάνονται οι φίλοι μας και αναγνώστες, εαν αποφασίσουμε να ψάξουμε λίγο πιο βαθιά, θα βγουν πολύ περισσότερα πράγματα στην επιφάνεια, τα οποία και θα ξετυλιχθούν σαν κουβάρι, αυτό όμως το οποίο γίνεται απο τώρα κατανοητό και σαφως συνδέεται και με την Αμερικανορωσική αντιπαλότητα και τα σχέδια της Αμερικής στην περιοχή, είναι οτι οι Αμερικανοί αποδεικνύουν πως είναι αποφασισμένοι να υπερασπιστούν με κάθε τρόπο να σχέδια τους στο σύντομο μέλλον, και πιθανόν είναι ακόμα πιο μακρινά και σοβαρά απο ότι πιστεύουμε.

Ειδικά αφου οι θέσεις της Ελλάδας άλλαξαν αρκετά τα τελευταία χρόνια αποκλίνοντας απο την Αμερικανική επιρροή, και ο Ελληνικός λαός κατέχει μακράν τα σκήπτρα δυσαρέσκειας απένταντι τους.

New York Times - 5 April 1925

Comitadji’s real purpose - “Anexation with Bulgaria“. Of course even Americans knew there was NO such nation as “Macedonian” but Macedonian region was settled by Serbs, Greeks, Turks, Albanians and Bulgarians!!!

February 04  1915 - Manitoba Morning Free Press about the RACES OF MACEDONIA. Of course No “ethnic Macedonians”

August 23 1906 - “The Atlanta Constitution”. Turks acknowledge Greeks and Bulgarians in Macedonia that are being persecuted. No sign of “Ethnic Macedonians” either.

January 06 1906 “The Washington Post” …. Macedonia had ONLY Greek, Bulgarian and Serbian Revolutionary bands

June 03 1905 The Washington Post - Again Bulgarian and Serbian bands.

November 15 1912 “Wichita Daily Times” - the population of Macedonia is composed in about equal parts of Greeks and Slavs (Bulgarians and Serbs)

May 11 1903 “The Trenton Times” 

May 11 1903 “Naugatuck Daily News”

May 11 1903 “Manitoba Morning Free Press”

The following are statements made by the infamous Henry Kissinger on 5th of April 1999 on CNBC show “Hardball”.  Read carefully what H. Kissinger says:

“When the US engages itself in war, there is no substitute for victory, and we have to do what is necessary to prevail. I frequently expressed doubts before we went in there about whether the US should make the Balkans a central point of its foreign policy. But now that we are in, I believe that we have to do what is necessary, and if that requires ground troops, we have to send ground troops”.

When asked what would winning look like in this context. Dr. Kissinger said:

“In this context, it means the removal of Serbian combat forces from Kosovo, the return of refugees and the establishment of some international status for Kosovo that is under some sort of international supervision. Nothing else can now work.”, and added “Serbia is a country of less than 10 million population with poor resources and not very effective army except against unarmed civilians.”

“After the ethnic cleansing and after the aerial bombardment, you cannot ask the refugees to return to Serbian sovereignty. We all talk about self-government for Kosovo. But the Balkans is a whole mixture of ethnic groups that have been thrown together there by a succession of wars. Once the objective in Kosovo has been reached, that will open the chapter of Macedonia, because in Macedonia, there are 800,000 Albanians and it’s going to be a problem to deny them what has just been granted to the Albanians in Kosovo“.

” And when that happens, the Slavs in Macedonia who are almost exclusively Bulgarians, will raise their demands. And so we may face the disintigration of another country. And therefore , the administration absolutly requires some strategy for political settlement of all of the Balkan issues before we are being dragged step by step into becoming the successor of the empires that used to govern there and who had atleast one thing in common, that they were hated by the populations over whom they ruled.”

“Once we have achieved self-government for the people of Kosovo, which I now support, this is not the end of the story. Then we have to consider what happens , to the many ethnic clans that exist in the Balkans to avoid being triggered into crisis after crisis by this sort of issue and especially by the issues that will emerge in Macedonia and maybe even in northern Greece.“, concluded Dr. Kissinger.

FACTS:
F.Y.R.O.M.-Slavs claim that the use of the term “MAKEDONIA” in Greece was forbidden until 1988 and that no province with the name “MAKEDONIA” (Macedonia) existed in Northern-Greece before 1988.

There are many examples for state institutions or privat corporations which use the term “MAKEDONIA” in Greece since the end of 19th century and still use it:

Newspaper “Makedonia” - paper of 4th April of 1878

Faros Of Macedonia - paper of 29th November 1887.

Ermis of Thessaloniki - paper of 24th Octomber of 1875.

Official document from the Kingdom of Greece in 1922, mentioning the name of the commanding officer of…Macedonia.

The Greek government had given the title  ”Governor General of Macedonia” to the Greek minister of the Macedonia region in Greece.

Examples:

In early 1923 the Governor-General of Macedonia, Achilleas Lambros, conducted an ethnological survey of this region.(30) According to Lambros, the statistical data came (a) from the official Greek census of 1920, (b) from another census conducted at about the same time on behalf of the Foreign Ministry and (c) from information derived from various local officials.

This figure is also supported by an 1912 unofficial and unpublished census found in the papers of the first Greek Governor-General of Macedonia, Stefanos Dragoumis.(25)
(25.) Archeio Stefanou Dragoumi [Stefanos Dragoumis Papers], F.116.4., Governor-General of Thessaloniki to the Prime Minister, Thessaloniki, 4 November 1913, ref. 17210

1923: “In the course of conversation, Mr. Lambros [Governor General of Macedonia], actually said that the present was a good opportunity to get rid of the Bulgars [sic] who remained in this area and who had always been a source of trouble for Greece.

We can easily find references in international press.

Time Magazine - Aug. 04, 1924 

 Time Magazine, ‘Toward Warm Water?’, Monday, Jul. 23, 1945

The Greek Company of Scientific Researches were publishing books in Greece while sending similar reports to the Greek government under the title “Economy of Macedonia” in 1928.

The Greek “Club of scholars from Macedonia” were sending reports to the Greek government from education in Macedonia, having in the cover pictures of Alexander the Great in 1932.

The undergraduates in the University of Thessalonike were listening to their Rector adressing them for being lucky to be in “the heart of Macedonia” just in

MACEDONIA und THESSALONIKI Newspaper logo

Macedonia (Greek:Μακεδονία) is a Greek daily newspaper first published in 1911 by Vellidis.

The Society for Macedonian Studies

In the spring of 1939, a number of distinguished citizens of Thessaloniki founded the Society for Macedonian Studies as a legal entity of private law.
[...]
The Society for Macedonian Studies founded the Institute for Balkan Studies, initially as one of its own departments. The latter is now an independent body in its own right, with the Society for Macedonian Studies represented by three of the seven members of the Administrative Board. Another foundation is the Historical Archive of Macedonia, and the Society was also co-founder of the Museum of the Macedonian Struggle.

INTERNATIONAL FAIR TRADE OF THESSALONIKE

It was founded in 1926 and since then the term Macedonia is always used officialy in the greatest  International event of Thessalonike. For further infos see International Fair Trade Topic

Art Gallery of the Society for Macedonian Studies

Founded in 1975, this was the first organised visual art institution in the city, its purpose being to promote and disseminate modern Greek art, mainly that of northern Greece. [...] The collection comprises more than 400 works, mainly paintings, sculptures, and engravings, mostly by artists from Thessaloniki and Macedonia in general, though there are also works by major artists from the rest of Greece and other countries too.

The term Macedonia was also used in Greek school books.

Geography School book of 1977

Thessaloniki Museum of the Macedonian Struggle

The Society which is responsible for the Museum of the Macedonian Struggle is that of the “Frieds of the Museum of the Macedonian Struggle”, a private association founded in Thessaloniki in 1979.
Greece uses the term“MAKEDONIA” even before Macedonia was liberated.  FYROM’s propagandistic claim that the greek Term “MAKEDONIA” was forbidden in Greece is totally clumsy and another lie used by FYROM’s propagandists.

Many thanks to the members of MacedoniaOnTheWeb for gathering all that info.

“Faros Of Macedonia” - paper of 29th November 1887.

“Ermis of Thessaloniki”. Paper of 24th Octomber of 1875.

“Greek-Bulgarian quarrels in Macedonia“. Newspaper “Empros” 1913. Still no trace of “Macedonians” of the Skopjan type but only Greek and Bulgarian populations in the region of Macedonia.
