Dear Mr Madsen

I am one of the many “awakened” citizens who watches, the developments world wide, totally anti neocon by nature and conscious thought processing. I admire people like you, Alex Jones, we AreChange and all who fight this fascistic regime spreading it’s web in Europe too. I’m sure you understand that what’s happening in the USA, eventually reaches our neck of the woods sooner or later, so the results of your efforts in a true patriotic spirit, are not limited only to America but affect the rest of the world as well, and for that I for one, thank you from the bottom of my heart, and support you people 100% , trying to follow your lead here in Greece, to the best of my ability…


However, I recently saw an article in your site, referring to that small area borderlining with northern Greece as “Macedonia”. This is a sensitive national issue for us Greeks, frustrating and enraging us, due to the unfair assumption and acceptance that this Slavic and Albanian ethnic group residing in this area, is of Macedonian descent.

History clearly points out that Macedonia is Greek, (Alexander for one, was king of Macedonia during the 4th cent. BC) . Greek civiliization and culture existed in the area LONG before (at least 4000 years ago) LONG BEFORE the Slavs settled there! (13th century AD). The “recognition” of this country as “Macedonia” is therefore an unjust historical distortion and disrespect, and accepts a clear THEFT of a nation’s history by another.

I’m sure you can appreciate the fact that the neocons (Mr Bush at the time) encouraged the creation of this newly formed nation in to a “country”, and encouraged them to proceed with these outrageous positions (reaching the ridiculous claims that even Alexander was “theirs” not Greek but a Slav for heaven’s sake!) in order to suit their own agenda, which is to create instability in the Balkan States, by fueling and igniting discord and clashes among the people. THAT is the only reason this monstrous thing developed in to official recognition by Europeans and Americans alike, because I cannot accept or believe that there is such historical ignorance!

I therefore urge you NOT to facilitate that vulgar neocon agenda by accepting with no questions asked, the term “Macedonia” for those people. Macedonia is and WILL remain Greek. Seing that the area (geographically speaking) does belong to the greater part of Macedonia, if the need is so great to call them anything relating to the area’s name, they could be called Slavo-Macedonians, but plain Macedonians is definitely not acceptable to us, or any honest historian for that matter, and it is an insult to our national identity.

Perhaps this matter seems unimportant to you, in light of the fact that there are much more serious and urgent matters to address, in connection with the fascistic repressions the neocons are aiming to gradually impose, but having said that the Macedonian issue is also part of the neocon agenda, and knowing that you people are fighting it, I would appreciate it if you could focus your attention on that issue as well, and if possible, make a point on informing more people about it..

I have a site (Greek ofcourse) , www.ideografhmata.gr in which I’ve created an English speaking forum as well. I will be promoting your great work in there too. I remain at your disposal, for anything you might consider helpful from my end, or anything you’d want to promote via my website as well.

Thanking you in advance for your attention,

I remain
