US State Department International Religious Freedom Report 2004 (Truthful)

MHRMC.CA - Macedonian Human Rights Movement of Canada

It is ironic that the US State Department reports on the ethnic Macedonians in Greece in its reports on Human Rights and its report on Religious Freedom, while its agents (Freedom House, Radio Free Europe, IWPR etc) ignore us. That is why I have labelled it this report "Truthful" even though the State Department is tip-toeing on human riights for Macedonians in Greece in deference to the Greek-American lobby.

I don't want to piss in our own soup, but here is the report on the Repbulic of Macedonia which discusses Serbian-Macedonian Orthodox Church relation. We can't get traction on the human rights for Macedonians in Greece, until we solve this issue.

The Macedonian Human Rights Movement of Canada is doing a good job. Isn't there any similar US organization?

Can't leave the field open for the MPO. More about the MPO later.

BBC NEWS | Europe | EU hardens accession conditions

BBC NEWS Europe EU hardens accession conditions

Because of a deeply anti-Russian, anti-orthodox, anti-slavic, bias of the "west" (read Germany), the EU finds itself on the threshold of admitting a Muslim Turkey which will be the largest country in the EU. Can Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco be far behnd. Europe will be Macedona writ large.

When communism fell in Eastern Europe, I was sure that the EU would offer to immediately include all these countries as "associate members" including Russia. Nato would would be re-named ("The Eurpean Union and Friends"). The US, also still part of the EUF, could withdraw its troops and save a ton of money.

Instead we have Zbigniew Brzezinski having wet dreams about partitioning Russia with US hegemony over Siberia. Brzezinski will regret this position when he ffinds that in a few years, half of Warsaw is Muslim.

A serious debate should be held in Macedonia (with our Serbian and Bulgarian cousins - ya you read it right the first time) about increasing our contacts with Russia. More on how this can be done in a few days.

Can't any Macedonia jounalist ask these bozos if the Republic of Macedonia treated the Albanians the same way that Greece treats ethnic Macedonians, would it be accepted in the EU.

By definiton Greek human rights policies are EU values.

Reality Macedonia : Macedonia to Sign Agreement with US Under its Constitutional Name

It looks like Macedonian politicians are not totally asleep. I think it was VMRO that signed a similar agreement when the US wanted immunity for its soldiers from the new International Court.

I read recently that the US insisted that Serbia hand over indicted war criminals to the Hague for trial before Serbia was to get any US aid. At the same time the US said no aid would be given to Serbia unless it signed an agreement to exempt US soldiers from the new International Court.

Reality Macedonia : EU�s Macedonia Questionnaire: Two Days for Translating 3,000+ Questions

The EU Questionaire is secret:

The Macedonian Government wanted to make the Questionnaire public, but the EU forbade them to so before delivering the answers to Brussels.

The Vice Prime Minister Shekerinska thinks that the answering of the Questionnaire will be finished by the end of January next year, or two weeks before the deadline given by the European Commission



Were the Questionaires for other states, like Slovenia, Poland etc. also secret. Can't we get the Greens to take up this issue in the EU Parliament. I smell a conpiracy.

From Alt.News.Macedonia

Google Search:: "Subject: Book Review: Mother Tongues Helena Drysdale - Truthfull"

I do not agree with all the points of view of Drysdale. I say that she is Truthful" because she discusses the plight of the Macedonians in Greece.

Robert Kaplan and Macedonia (Partly Truthful)

Google Search:

This is a long article about Tupurkovski, Gligorov, Papandreau etc and only mentions Robert Kaplan on one line. He deserves more attention and I will come back to him. He is one of those who writes clearly about the current situation in the Republic of Macedonia and insists that Tito invented Macedonia. He has lived in Greece, his child was born in Greece.

Reality Macedonia : EU's Macedonia Questionnaire: Two Days for Translating 3,000+ Questions

The Macedonian government (and the people in general) have put all their eggs in the "EU" basket and are now determined to jump through hoops to get admission to the EU. I agree with this position since I can offer no alternative.

However, the Macedonian media should put its come to a consensus to put a set of question to the EU. Relating to the plight of Macedonians in Greece.
