Greek plans to secure Macedonia
In the past I have given my readers hints of Greek plans to secure Macedonia but I have yet to elaborate on them. By "securing" Macedonia I am talking about Greece striving to maintain ownership of the 51% of Macedonia it annexed in 1913 and having aspirations to annex more in the future.
Macedonian flags fly in front of the Canadian Parliament - CELEBRATING ILINDEN 2010
Ilinden is a Macedonian National Holiday celebrated annually on August 2nd to commemorate the 1903 Macedonian national Uprising against the Ottoman Empire.
Why negotiating with Greece is bad for Macedonia!
First and foremost, Macedonia should not be negotiating with Greece over its own name even if Greece was its brother and best friend! But setting that aside, what message does Macedonia give the world when it willingly enters a process to negotiate a change to its own name to please Greece, one country which amounts to less than 1% of the world´s countries and a fraction of the world population, so small that I don´t even know how to describe it!
How to End the "Name Game"
Almost two decades have passed and there is still no sign of a resolution being reached in the so-called "name negotiations" between Greece and the Republic of Macedonia. In this article I will attempt to define what Greece is asking for and the compromises that the Republic of Macedonia has already made.
Ilinden 2010
Every year around this time I am compelled to write something about Ilinden to remind myself and my readers of what it´s all about. To remind us all of our never ending struggles and sacrifices we made as people and to remind us of the sacrifices our not so distant ancestors made when on August 2nd, 1903 they rose en masse to fight for liberty and to form a Macedonian state.
Why am I doing this – again?
Despite my explanations a few times before, there are readers out there, mostly Greeks, who still want to know "why I am doing this" and by "this" they mean why do I write "negative things" about Greece and the Greeks. To them I say, show me something "good" that Greece and the Greeks have done for the Macedonians and then I will write something "positive"! Ah but wait a minute aren´t we forgetting something? Aren´t the Greeks the ones who claim that the whole world knows that "Macedonians do not exist"! So, what Macedonians am I talking about?
The "Blame game" another Old Greek Trick!
Just recently I received a phone call from a very disappointed Macedonian activist who complained to me about another Macedonians activist, both of whom I shall not name, who said that among others I, Risto Stefov, am "somehow" responsible for Macedonians living in Greece, you know the non-existent ones, losing their pension because of the articles I write that constantly criticize Greece! Yes, you heard it right! Some senior citizens of Macedonian descent living in "democratic" Greece today have been informed that they may no longer be receiving their pensions because people like me have ruined it for them with the constant criticism of Greece!
Macedonia: Ethnic or Geographic?
Ethnic or geographic Macedonia, which will it be? There are many Macedonians out there even today who refer to partitioned Macedonia as Aegean, Vardar, Pirin and more recently, Mala Prespa. Are these references a "good thing" or are they "anti-Macedonian" and we don´t even know it?
The West we Trust?
Not so long ago I ran into a Macedonian who I have known for a while and in our discussions he mentioned something that stayed with me. He said he does not trust the Greeks, Serbians or Bulgarians being objective when writing about Macedonia, which was fine by me but when he said that he also didn´t trust the Macedonians to do the same, I found that disturbing. This however is not the first or only time I have heard this.
Old habits never die
After proving to the Greeks a hundred times over, that Macedonians do exist and have existed since Neolithic times or as my friend Tone from Slovenia would say "the Macedonians lived in Macedonia uninterrupted for at least 40,000 if not 70,000 or even 100,000 years!", we still have Greeks "insisting" that Macedonians do not exist and the only Macedonians that can identify as Macedonians are Greeks who live in Macedonia and speak Greek!
If not Euro-Atlantic integration, what then?
Western Europe over the last few decades or so has been popularized as the "democratic panacea" of all times offering "equal rights" to all people of all colours and flavours but as things are shaping up, that is not the case. Western Europe may look good on paper and in theory but in practice it is the same old "racist Europe" it always was.
Why Greece can´t have minorities!
We often speak of Greece refusing to recognize its various national minorities living in Greece but we rarely speak about why that is. Now, I think is a good time to examine the issue more closely.
Does Modern Greece deserve to exist?
Who decides if Macedonians do or do not exist? The Greeks and Bulgarians? If that is the case then it is only fair and reasonable that the Macedonians decide if Greeks and Bulgarians exist and if they deserve to have their own countries!
Ah Greece what have you done to deserve this?
During 1989 to 1993, the Greek Foreign Ministry, headed by Andonis Samaras, used a secret fund to pay Greek journalists $130 million dollars (US) to promote the "Greek-ness" of Macedonia! Although these funds were originally intended for external promotion, according to the testimony of former Prime Minister Constantinos Mitsotakis, they ended up in the pockets of Greek journalists.
"Ancient versus Slav Controversy"
Just for the record, let me say this; "Macedonians don´t need outsiders, particularly their enemies, to tell them who they are; Macedonians are Macedonians and have been so since the word Macedonia was coined and believe me, that goes far back beyond ´Ancient times´."
The so-called "Name Negotiations" MUST be ended now!
In spite of what has been said and done and the warnings and pleading made by so many Macedonian activists to end the so called "name negotiations" with Greece, the comical tragedy still continues to unfold for almost two decades now. How long are the Macedonian authorities going to allow it to go on? How long are we Macedonians going to bend backwards to please our enemies?
There is no Greater Glory than to be a Soldier of Macedonia
While fighting against its opponents, the Macedonian army demonstrated bravery, skill, discipline, determination and performed extraordinary achievements deemed impossible by ordinary men. They carried out feats like passing through impassible terrain in record time, fighting much superior opponents and winning, scaling un-scalable walls, fast marching through monsoons, etc., which gave the impression that these Macedonian soldiers were "super human".
Polyaenus – 2nd Century Macedonian Rhetorician
It is time for us to take hold of our heritage and let our destiny takes its course, we are Macedonians, we were Macedonians since the term was coined because we are a product of Macedonia the very land that made us who we are and we will always be Macedonians no matter what our enemies tell us and in spite of their objections. We are who we are and calling us different or demanding that we change our name or our identity will change nothing; we will remain who we are. Enough with the lies and deception! You haven´t changed us in two centuries what makes you think that you can succeed now?
Greeks and Bulgarians -Yesterday's bitter enemies today's best friends
Just recently someone handed me a Bulgarian newspaper and pointed to the headline; "Bulgarian-Greek Cultural event" with the Bulgarian flag on the left and the Greek flag on the right. Wow! I never thought in my lifetime I would see the words "Bulgarian", "Greek" and "together" in a friendly way in the same sentence. The world is indeed changing and from what I gather, for the better. I hope!
Greeks and Identity theft
Greece, the vary country which illegally and by an act of war annexed 51% of Macedonia in 1913, as confirmed by the 1913 Treaty of Bucharest, was the first to not only protest to Macedonia´s independence, but after trying to bury the name "Macedonian" for a century, protested to its use by the Republic of Macedonia, claiming that the very name "Macedonia" is Greek!
Greek by Politics
Up until recently a person could not have been a Greek unless they were born Greek. In fact the Greek government, in the early 1980´s, passed a law designed to repatriate all Greeks born in Greece who had left Greece and were Greeks by birth. But wait a minute here, hasn´t Greece being boasting that since 1928 Greece has been populated by 98% pure Greeks and 2% Muslim Greeks? So, who did they intend to exclude by passing that law? Everyone should have been allowed to return because, according to their own claims, everyone in Greece is Greek.
How Macedonia became Greek, Serbian and Bulgarian
Greece does not hesitate to claim Macedonia as its own but shies away from explaining how Macedonia became "Greek". Please read this article and find out.
The Problem with Human Rights
Greece does not hesitate to demand human rights for "Greeks" everywhere in the world, even though the so called "Greek ethnicity" is nothing more than a 19th century fabrication, and while it shamelessly promotes itself as "the cradle of democracy" it stomps on the rights of its minority citizens living on its own soil! What kind of democracy will not recognize its minorities and strip them of all their human rights? The so called Greek democracy does! There are people in Greece today who are Macedonians, Albanians, Vlachs, Turks, Roma and others who Greece adamantly claims do not exist.
Human Rights Violations in Greece
Greece does not hesitate to demand human rights for "Greeks" in every country in the world and while it shamelessly promotes itself as "the cradle of democracy" it stomps on the rights of its minority citizens! What kind of democracy will not recognize its minorities and strip them of all their human rights? Greek democracy does! There are people in Greece today who call themselves Macedonians, Albanians, Vlachs, Turks, Roma and others who Greece adamantly claims do not exist.
About the Greek Language
Greece does not hesitate to call the Macedonian language "non existent" and a mix of Serbian and Bulgarian but have they ever looked at their own language? I don´t think so, because if they did then they would be less critical of other peoples´ languages.
Another International Day at CFB Borden

Greece is not the Cradle of Democracy
Greece has shamelessly promoted itself as "the cradle of democracy" while practicing the worst kind of dictatorships and cultural genocide the world has even seen! What kind of democracy will not recognize its minorities and strip them of all their human rights? Greece does! There are people in Greece today who call themselves Macedonians, Albanians, Vlachs, Turks, Roma and others who Greece adamantly claims don´t exist.
Assimilation of Macedonians Continues
Assimilation of Macedonians on a massive scale began right after Macedonia was invaded, occupied and partitioned in 1912, 1913 when Greece, Serbia and Bulgaria established a foothold in Macedonian territories. In Greece, for example, Macedonians were told: "as of this point forward this is Greece and you are Greeks and if you don´t like it you have 24 hours to pack your things and take whatever you can carry on your backs and get out". Many Macedonian left and eventually ended up in the USA, Canada and Australia.
What do you really mean when you say you are "Greek"?
Until yesterday most Greeks loathed the word "Macedonia" and put people like me in jail for just uttering it. Now the haters of Macedonia have become the lovers of Macedonia. Have these Greeks gone topsy-turvy? Have they forgotten how they acquired Macedonia and how they attempted to choke the life out of it? No matter how hard these Greeks try to hide the truth there is always someone out there who will expose it!
Happy 138th Birthday Gotse Delchev

The name alone was never an issue
Greece, for almost a century, has been struggling to smother the Macedonian identity living on its own soil since it illegally invaded, occupied and annexed Macedonian lands. Then all of a sudden an entire nation of Macedonians gained their independence just next door. Panic stricken, not knowing what to do, Greece invented a problem in hopes of putting the Macedonians on the defensive.
After two centuries of living a myth Greece now faces reality
When Greece was created for the first time in 1829 there were no "real Greeks". The entire region was populated mostly by Albanians, Turks, Slavs, Vlachs, Latin and a long list of other ethnicities that existed in that region at that time. The vast majority of the people living in the tiny Greek state at the time of its liberation from the Ottomans were uneducated and unfamiliar with the concepts of nationality and ethnicity. As far as they were concerned they were all Christians which distinguished them from the Muslims, their overlords. After their liberation all Christians in the Greek state, regardless of their ethnicities, were told they were Greek. This continued as Greece expanded its territory and acquired more and more people.
About the Slavs; Again!
According to some Greeks the "Slavs" are a people who came to Macedonia on mass from some swamps north of the Danube River. When they arrived in Macedonia in the 6th century AD they killed off the indigenous Macedonians and repopulated Macedonia. The "Slavs" however, for some unknown reason, did not enter Greece because those same Greeks who claim, Macedonians are "Slavs" also claim Modern Greece is populated by pure Greeks, descendants of the so called "Ancient Greeks", implying that the "Slavs" never crossed the Greek border. But where is the proof?
Macedonian Toponyms in Albania
Macedonians have been in the Balkans a lot longer and in a lot more places than previously anticipated. Proof of this can be found not only in history but in language and toponymia, in the Macedonian archaic footsteps left behind.
