Once upon a time, there was a small and beautiful country called Greece.
Her beauties were so numerous that the whole earth knew about them.
It was the most famous country in the world.
Its ancient civilization was very famous because all the peoples of the world learned and studied many things. In this small, beautiful and famous country, sciences were developed, schools were opened and great philosophers such as Aristotle, Plato, Socrates, Herodotus... taught.
as well as orators such as Demosthenes, Isocrates, Lysias and many others.
There, all the sciences flourished, such as Medicine, History, Geography, Geometry, Astronomy, Mathematics, the arts, poetry, theater and everything else that composes human greatness and makes man... more human.
This unique country, Greece, gave the otherwise uncivilized and uncivilized world all the resources to become civilized and progress in all fields.
In Ancient Greece, where at one point the greatness of Alexander the Great caused the empire to conquer the entire then-known world, many foreigners from various countries came to admire and study.
Roman Emperors,
Leaders of many other states came and studied the Greek spirit and governed their homelands with wisdom and bravery as befits them.
This small country generously offered its rich culture to the entire planet.
Everyone took and Greece never asked for anything in return.
However, there came a time when this country lost its glory and barbarians from all over the world came and conquered and ravaged its land.
They all robbed and plundered the Greek wealth and transported it to their homelands…
None of them had anything of their own to show and they stole everything Greek they found on their way... Crusaders, convinced that they would liberate the Holy Land, passed by and experienced what was left of the great Greek empire of learning and knowledge.
For two thousand years, they attacked Hellenism from every side, with all means.
They filled their museums with Greek antiquities and statues for people to pass by and see, paying the price and admiring the Greek wonder.
Of course, the Greek was not easy prey, a tough nut to crack from birth, he had learned the hard way and gone through many hardships and difficulties....
He hid Greece deep in his heart, even though the barbarians conquered it… during the years of slavery, he managed to keep all the wealth of his ancient homeland under his stones and land.
In his mind and soul.
In his heart, despite all the hardships and suffering.
But the war that the barbarians had unleashed was merciless...
By all means and from all sides, they mercilessly attacked Hellenism because envy and jealousy had armed the hands of its enemies who were trying to destroy it.
Envy and jealousy because the GREEK was and is the one who taught the world the most beautiful and civilized things and sciences.
They declared wars, they raided, they burned Greece, they killed millions, they enslaved the rest of the people... they sold them in slave markets, they sent them to child labor camps, they threw them into a civil war...
The Seljuk Turks, the Germans, the Bulgarians, the barbarians…..the Huns, the Alamanni, the Franks…..the Agarenes…..the Venetians…. May the GREEK die, be destroyed, end…..the one who awakened the world…..the one who taught man to think….to philosophize….to dream of a better tomorrow, to progress, to move forward, to make music and poetry, literature and art…….
To bury Aristophanes, Aeschylus, Sophocles……Homer, Anaximenes, Hesiod…..
Thousands of years have passed….how long can this champion, the wonderful, the magnificent, the glorious PEOPLE of the Greeks endure……!!!!! The ENEMY saw and feared that they could not easily destroy the Greeks with wars and plundering and made the scheming friends think of other ways to exterminate this strange and so powerful superhuman PEOPLE.
The war now began very differently from the others... They began to strike at the economy, the language, the culture, the education, the faith, and the spirit.
With new means, with banks and trust funds and super corporations with new products and foreign subculture, they managed to bring the Greek people to their knees and make them owe many millions to foreigners... here of course with the help of sold and initiated Nightmares who they bought with thirty pieces of silver and a few promises that they always forgot when the time came.
The plan was very well made and slowly it began to succeed.
Modern robbers were now legal as long as banks could, with the permission of corrupt governments, take whatever they wanted and leave crumbs for the citizen who shed his blood his entire life to secure a few savings for his future.
In addition to bread, they offered the young people spectacles, all kinds of drugs, alcoholic, crazy music, cheap tourist women, and all kinds of debauchery to put them completely to sleep and make them never capable of rebelling and demanding what was theirs.
The country found itself in great poverty and the Greeks, in order to secure their livelihood, began to sell their possessions and property to foreigners for a piece of bread, as they say...
Foreigners easily bought the beautiful Greek land and within a few years the Greeks became a minority in their own homeland…
Foreigners came from everywhere, whether as immigrants or as tourists or as Europeans, they became the regulators of Greece and the wealth they seized.
They began to pass laws that benefited them since they had the majority, they began to displace the indigenous Greeks and in a very short period of time they became the rulers of the Greek territory.
And of course, all this with the tolerance of the European Union, which was supposed to defend the rights of its peoples and citizens…of course, it was never able to guarantee the country's borders as a European country.
The plan of Greece's enemies succeeded because the most powerful weapon of the Greeks was decimated, national pride, self-respect and what the true Greek had kept in his soul since the ancients and his glorious history.
Life was so difficult and harsh that as Greeks they no longer had the strength to resist and escape. In the interest of globalization there was no longer time and passion for anything other than work…..or rather slavery…. with very little pay and earnings just enough to live on.
This was GREECE….the most glorious country on the planet
The Land of LEONIDAS and the SPARTANS…..
The Country that put the Persians to flight from where they came….
the Country of the Olympic Games….
the Land of Zeus and Achilles……
the country of Pericles and Themistocles…
the Land of Kolokotronis and Korais….
the Country of Pavlos Melas and Kountouriotis…..
the country that humiliated the Italians in Albania…..
the Country that resisted Hitler's Germans...
