Introduction

The news around the situation in Cyprus that has been published here a week ago, gets daily updates in newspapers and broadcasting stations, worldwide, sometimes even several times in a day. The loud discussions must have been heard even far in the universe. If there is life in the universe I am sure that it avoids to come close to that beautiful Blue Planet, named Earth. It does not sound good at all. But I am not an alien and therefore I cannot hide for the loud protests, the anger, the hatred. Unfortunately.

My EU-“propaganda” against the EU anti-propaganda of Theodorakis and many more

I am confronted with it even more now, because I follow the news around Theodorakis, every day. He has been dismissed from the hospital, since a day, and he is already back on the stage of the Greek crisis, Greek politics, also of the Cypriot crisis, the Cypriot politics, and…. Europe. More and more I belong to the side that is hated by Mikis Theodorakis, and too many Greeks. I feel and am European, Dutch, and I believe in the EU, with my heart and full awareness.

With my statement about the EU I do not say that the EU is infallible. Too many complications create difficult problems and it is not easy to solve them immediately. Some solutions need much time, maybe even years, decades before a real change can be achieved. All depends on the cooperation of those who ask(ed) for help. Those who have become a victim of their own not working systems, IF there were systems. Because sometimes, (and I am well informed), the systems are corrupted, or exactly the other way round: so much detailed that you get lost in the tango, realizing that the one rule/law is against the other rule/law, so, what is the rule/law? For the one sentence you are working legally, but reading the other sentence you are not working according the law.

Europe tries to help with systems, data, because systems, data, work, make all transparent. Easy. It is comparable with traffic: the railroad is there, the metro, all is clear and the route can be found in a map. Clear. Easy to find your way. The money-systems work, if also there are maps of “official roads and paths to walk on”. In Greece and Cyprus, Spain and Italy, Russia, etc. etc. many dark circuits of unofficial (illegal) roads in the underground have been created to serve the black-money-owners (=tax-evaders). The underground is killing the tax-systems of the legal overground circuits. Finally the country is bankrupted. By itself. Not by Europe.

Europe tries to help. The underground-money-system countries shout the news around that Europe has created the crisis, they invented it (?!!!??), and they shout loudly to the naive people that they must suspend Europe. Europe is false, bad, a thief, a burglar that wants them on their knees.

We, Europe, European countries, EU, trust its leaders, its politicians, even when they ask US to go on OUR knees, by allowing them to send money to the suffering countries, where the black-money-owners rule the country, suck the tax-systems there, suck their own people, and try to save their money somewhere else!! More and more the hot breath of Europe is in their necks and finally the world will know how dirty who is, not any escape or hiding will be possible anymore. I am looking forward for lists filled with the names of those who suck Greece, Cyprus, you, me.

Protest: Spitha

The negativity, caused by a lack of right information and anti-propaganda about Europe, the EU, has obiously even reached Mikis Theodorakis and Spitha. I am sure that they do NOT know/have the right information, they do not even ask for it, because all are brainwashed by the Greek media. That is my sincere conclusion, my opinion. I am not the only one who speaks about the Emperor behind the Media. Who owns the media in Greece? Cyprus? Masks rule the world and it is very difficult to watch through masks to the one who is behind it.

The situation in Greece is explosive. But that seems not to be enough because even more rebellious words have been spoken. Spitha has created a protest parade in Athens, and we are all witnessing a growing fire of anger till it will escalate finally completely and nobody can stop it anymore. Then Greece and Cyprus, we ALL lose more than what they are afraid of now and protesting against. Then we all will go on our knees for that invisible power without a face, undercover as “Resistance”, but IS this really Resistance?  Resistance is good, beautiful, when it is serving a higher goal, the Law of Universal Justice. The Resistance in Greece does not serve that higher goal. Not here, not now.

Protest: the Athina-plan                      

“Going on the knees”, “bending the head for what is better”, serves in this case a higher goal. All in life is connected with taking the consequences of own behavior and of a lack or missing of taking own responsibilities.  Nobody can be blamed for what belongs to your own responsibilities. Only children and babies cannot be blamed for not taking responsibilities, there the parents have their duty. I like it to compare a country with a family, with parents and children. Political leaders, professors, teachers, doctors, etc. are the parents of a people. Also teachers are leaders, and students have to follow up what has to be learned or obeyed. Children have to be educated. Peoples have to be informed and educated, by their leaders, priests, professors, journalists.                                                                                      Children can be very rebellious and need much wisdom, love and strength of the parents to transform their rebellious behavior into something better. Not by demanding htem to kneel for them, no, by insight, and convincing them of something deeper.  If children ask their parents for money and there is not enough, what shall the parents do? Steal it? A “No, impossible!” is a very good answer, but the children, not aware of what is needed or to be learned, do not like that and protest. Of course. They do not know better, so, take time to explain. Be an example yourself, use psotivity, avoid hatred, hateful words. A good explanation helps to relax the child. A good information helps people to relax and understand, and to bear the reality, to take it all together as a people. Parents/political leaders have to guide their children/people, not spoiling them with promises that can not be realized. It is a difficult task to be a parent/political leader. It is so much nicer to be the popular one, because of your wild ideas. Not able to realize them, but the people do not know that. They believe you. So…. When you really love your children/your people you dare to say “No!”. In this case: There is no money for the Athina plan. The money is needed for other, more important cases in the society NOW. Make people feel social, so that they understand why. Also this is a part of democracy. It is a task for and of the government to explain that to students and their professors. Food, medicine and so many more is always of a higher importance than learning to play the bouzouki, the trumpet, the clarino or the piano. In the recent past many brilliant talents became a famous musician without any conservatory or university for the arts. I am convinced that for those who are really talented and willing to use their time for study seriously and with their full attention, will get the possibility to reach their goal. I am convinced that a lot of students who protest now are enjoying their student life very much, but not with studying, misusing their time for a lot of pleasures and fun. We all know that. Students are young people. They are studying also life. Let us be honest.

In a direct appeal to students, Theodorakis said: “Don’t let them do that. It is up to you, together with your parents and the rest of the Greek people, to ensure the safety of the country, to take the problems of our motherland in your own hands.”

Safety of the country? In my opinion Theodorakis undermines the safety in Greece with his provocative words. He stimulates subversive elements. That is extremely dangerous, oil on the fire. If he sais: “Greece is my religion”, then he does not realize that within religions sacrifices are asked for serving the higher goal. Also going on the knees! It is a symbol and attitude of respect for the Highest.  My statement here: Greece is my religion too. That is why I protest against Theodorakis’s words.

Everywhere, in all countries, also in the Netherlands, the crisis demands to decrease the costs, also on schools, universities, departments, health care, in each house, in each family, it counts for each person, for each private wallet, etc. etc. Why not in Greece?  Theodorakis: “Athina is not another mistake; it is a well planned step towards the further downgrading not only of Greek education but also of the whole of Greek society, individually, occupationally, biologically and educationally.”  No, Mister Theodorakis, this is not true and I consider this as slander and a way to awaken hatred against Europe. Who do you serve with this? Not Greece. Europe has not any intention to take away Greece’s culture. It is impossible to take it away, unless you or other Greeks give it away, do not take care for it, when Greeks themselves do not live in the way their ancestors and traditions taught them to do, or sell their soul to the devil. To protest or resist is one, to be disobedient is something else, also in families between parents and children, also on schools between teachers and students, also in the society. You stimulate people to be disobedient. That tears down the society. Do not blame Europe (=me) for it.

My opinion: it is Greece itself that has undermined all the high values of the Greek past.  Not anybody or anything else. Blaming the Greek politicians now that they have failed, is rather late: all was already an open secret before 2009. But nobody protested then. Nobody. Not even Theodorakis has spoken one word of criticism to Greece itself. Or did he? Send me the text or the video. Why? Own interest?  I am longing for fair and true answers.

What is the problem with diminishing costs? We ALL have to go backwards. So, where the hell are you shouting about?! Playing the victim is meaningless, is cheap, easy at the same time dangerous and does not make sense, does not create possibilities for a better future, on the contrary. Can somebody explain to me that it has been / is meaningful to continue help the Greeks, the Cypriots? Wouldn’t it have been better to refuse to help them? Wouldn’t it be logic to stop help after all these angry protests and hostile words? To stop with it now, immediately? And tell me: IF we, citizens of the European Union, would NOT have helped them and Greece would have drowned in their own network of illegal systems, what would have been the protest then? I am sure that Theodorakis would have blamed Europe anyhow, but then  for not to have spent one euro for Greece. For Theodorakis the EU would have just been the next capitalistic selfish “USA”. Again a new reason for Theodorakis to hate. And protest. It seems to be his mission. What a pity. What a waste of wonderful time that he could have used to compose beautiful music and to live in harmony with himself, his beloved one, his children and grandchildren, his friends. As long it is possible. The clock of time is ticking. Loudly.
