        Why would Macedonia want to join the EU when Romania and Hungary are lamenting their decision?

        Hungary Joins List of Countries Wanting to Quit EU



        Wednesday, 18 January 2012

        Leader of the Hungarian party Jobbik party Gabor Vona urged Hungary to quit the European Union at a demonstration in central Budapest past weekend.

        Vona said European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso’s letter on Wednesday had violated Hungary’s independence. He called for a referendum to be held, enabling Hungarians to decide whether they still want to be part of the EU.

        The crowd filling a 100-metre stretch of a 15-metre wide street was chanting “Let’s Quit” and Down with Trianon” in response to the party leader’s call.

        By asking Hungary to amend three of its laws, the EC demonstrated that it expected Hungary to give up its independence, said Vona.

        Romanians Protest Hard Living Conditions after Entering European Union



        Tuesday, 17 January 2012

        Romania's prime minister warned anti-austerity protesters gathering for a fifth day on Monday that violence would not be tolerated after 59 people were injured in clashes between demonstrators and riot police at the weekend.

        The country's worst unrest for more than a decade has seen riot police using tear gas against protesters throwing bricks, smashing windows and setting fire to newspaper stands and rubbish bins in central Bucharest since it began on Thursday.

        Thousands of demonstrators gathered peacefully in central Bucharest and other cities on Monday afternoon, demanding Prime Minister Emil Boc and his close political ally President Traian Basescu resign.

                  It's a manufactured set-up to milk the Europeans dry - just keep pumping billions into Greece for a fraction of a second before it gets pumped back out again to the banks. The EU is going to drown in it's own debt. (yeah!).

                    LOL. LOL. LOL.

                    Macedonians not only have to change their name but now they have to even change their life-style.

                    The Greeks have totally lost the plot.

                    Head of Greece's Office protests Macedonians' way of life



                    Saturday, 28 January 2012

                    It's a big problem for Greece that Macedonian citizens, among other things, with their physical appearance, behaviour, life and work habits were too similar to the ones in Greece, which according to officials in Athens could confuse tourists not to know which country were they visiting.

                    According to official Athens, this well planned provocation by Skopje is against good neighbourly relations and breaks the Interim Agreement.


                    Because of this the head of Greece's commynications office in Macedonia, Alexandra Papadopolou filed a protest note against the Macedonian Government. This is the second protest note in two weeks, the first one was due to the Vevcani Carnival.

                    The statement of Greece's Ministry of Foreign Affairs says Papadopolou reacted against "constant tries for political, cultural, physical, mental and spiritual twisting of historical reality against Greece and other neighboring countries".

                    Majority of Macedonian media did not cover the latest protest note, with a Dnevnik colleague suggesting Greek officials have behaved dismally and are in a state of confusion after the ICJ ruling.

                      Why of course.. because the "babaros" is a long "greek" tradition from the "northern greek" town of "florina". All you need to do is add a greek accent retardation to a Macedonian word, or if that doesn't apply add an "os" suffix and all of a sudden it is pure "grik".

                      Same thing goes with pogača... or "grik pogatsa".

                      Wow.. this is national psychosis at its most pronounced!

                          The Greeks are sucks, no doubt, but it's the banks that are doing it. The banks cannot (and don't want to) buy Germany or any of the wealthier EU countries but they do want to send them into perpetual debt and own them that way. Greece is/was just a willing pawn now getting screwed savagely as their means to an end. Let's laugh at the Greeks as long as we can but it's the rest of Europe soon. Italy is already on the run and Spain and the rest are teetering. Just wait for the implosion - it should be a good bang.

                              Sicily’s ‘Pitchfork Movement’ in Revolt – Western Media Blackout

                              Poor Richard’s Blog
                              February 1, 2012
                              On January 16th, middle class Sicilians began a popular uprising appropriately called the ‘Pitchfork Movement’…’Movimento Dei Forconi’.

                              There are shades of the Occupy movement within it, but the core is not dissatisfied unemployed youth with no property or businesses to lose.

                              They are middle aged and older. They know that what they have left has been targeted by their own elites to bear the economic pain. The other difference is size. Sicily’s five million people, their grass roots people, have occupied themselves.

                              So of course the story caught my eye and I then checked the mainstream media sites to look at what I was sure to be some great video. Wrong! So far, there is almost nothing. I went back to check my date…and yes it started on the 16th and took two days to shut the island down, nothing going in or out. That was almost two weeks ago and I just learned today, and I can assure you I am not a hermit.

                              Can you image the Occupy Wall street people having shut Manhattan down of two weeks with no European coverage? Sure, it’s Sicily and not Manhattan…but it’s big, 25,000 sq km. That is what I used the space station feature photo.

                              What could corporate media possibly be afraid of? Well grab your seats, and here it is:
                              Sicily is Rising
                              The arrest of all corrupt politicians
                              Reduction in the number of Parliamentarians
                              Removal of the provincial bureaucracy (local crooks), as most of these politicians have been there for over forty years
                              Drastic cuts in the salaries and privileges of Parliamentarians and Senators
                              Restricting politicians to only two terms in office

                                Does this mean the end of Greece? Is that like "Hellas" as in Hellish Ass of a place?

                                Chatzimarkakis Greece to be renamed Hellas



                                Greece over debt crisis facing needs a new image, says German MEP of Greek origin and George Chatzimarkakis proposed new name for international use that will help the country's new beginning.

As part of an honest new beginning Greek Constitution should be changed and the country was renamed Hellas in all languages, says Chatzimarkakis the Sunday edition of German newspaper "Bild". He explains that "Hellas" is the name the Greeks used for naming their country. He said Athens must reject the existing political system and completely replace it. More importantly, says Chatzimarkakis, money that Europe gives to Greece otpklakjanje go for the debt, but does not solve the problem of the country. - Greece and needed economic growth. Only then she can take responsibility for its debt, said MEP who is the party of Free Democrats. talks about the second package to rescue the country's Athens had to end Sunday at midnight.
