The UN subverts the international economy status:
ALL ARMAMENT PRODUCTION RENDERED ILLEGAL
An
important resolution of the UN Security Council rendered all armament
production of any kind and for any use illegal from January 1st 2009.
The same applies for citizens, countries or federations that sell or
possess them. This resolution, even though it caused frustration to
many potential buyers -especially nations, since they had reserved
significant funds to acquire these systems- it has been considered
obligatory due to the tight pressures imposed a long time now and to
all directions by the defense industries themselves.
It’s
characteristic that significant investors around the world have
withdrawn their capital due to moral grounds. A milestone in this
long-awaited development was the speech of the CEO of Lockmeed Hartin,
Daniel Levinson in which he stressed that the primary condition for the
survival of humanity is a balanced relation between economic growth and
prosperitywhich will penetrate all levels of society, combined with
strong morals and a cultural cohesion of the social grid.
This turn
-as expected- has ignited international reactions coming mainly from
the workforce of this industry that amounts to hundreds of thousands of
employees globally and who are now naturally worried about their future.
Apart
from that, three African member-states of the UN submitted an
application to withdraw from the organization as a statement of their
objection on the aforementioned measure. It’s certain that intensive
deliberations of the UN with these countries will begin immediately,
nevertheless the progress of the talks is uncertain due to interests
directly or indirectly served, which will influence the decisions of
these countries beyond any moral basis.
In Athens, upheavals flammed
up by outraged employees of the Hellenic Aerospace Industry and the
Hellenic Arms Industry. Spirits calmed down only after the Minister of
Industry, Achilles Palaiokrasas assured the workers that they won’t
lose their acquired labor rights since production will shift to other
directions. The UN resolution was warmly accepted by the Industry
Manufacturers Association and the Jehovah’s Witnesses Church.

Startling decisions of the 3rd Panreligion Synod:
THE END OF RELIGIONS?
After
84 days of deliberations between 137 representatives of religions and
dogmas the 3rd Panreligion Synod summarized its decisions in a brief
two page text, unique for the current status of humanity. Reactions of
amazement comimg from all social groups have not been recorded yet,
since the text was published at dawn today. Since the imprortance of
the original text dictates its thorough study and deep comprehension,
we present it in full below:
Chapter 1
1. Humanity in its entire course, the degree that this course is known to us, has evolved hand-in-hand with its gods.
2.
In this course, on the one hand glorious memorable deeds and on the
other hideous inhuman crimes evoking pain were attributed by man to the
will of his gods.
3. Today, as well as in any other time the gods
are called to fight the wars of mortals, to sanctify their hatred, to
name their prejudices and fears as the “Divine command”.
Chapter 2
1. More than once, religious communities were transformed into mechanisms through which the few sought wealth and power.
2.
Often people in the name of Gods traded on poverty, human suffering,
the fear of death, the need for faith and hope in order to acquire
benefits of many kinds.
Chapter 3
1. The Gods existed before
the creation of man and will continue to exist after his extinction,
uninfluenced by the way human imagination pictures their form and
indifferent to man’s deeds.
2. Humans seek the idea and the image of
God as well as harmonization with him. This is considered their highest
obligation and they act accordingly each time up to the point that
their perception and knowledge allows them.
Chapter 4
1. The
supremacy of humans on Nature is phenomenal and nonetheless temporary.
God and Nature are identified and man cannot conquer neither God,
consequently nor Nature.
2. The words “greed” and “arrogance” summarize the history of man.
3.
Greed and arrogance haven’t harmed and will never harm Nature or Gods
simply because greed and arrogance and all of humanity is a part of
Nature and the Gods.
4. The combination of greed and arrogance are also the cause of all the troubles men have suffered and will suffer.
Chapter 5
1.
The religious communities through their fathers denounce from now on
any involvement in mechanisms that reproduce any form of greed and
arrogance.
2. They preach the mutual acceptance of all religious doctrines. Supremacy is an illusion. Modesty is the only knowledge.
3.
They denounce their engagement in any transaction of material goods and
wealth. They bestow all their assets to charitable organizations and
the nations.
4. The true House of God is Love and Compassion for
our fellow men and for Nature, our life-giving mother. Temples are
bestowed to the nations as museums of culture and history.
5. The
representatives of the Gods resign from all their privileges, join the
societies of men and give with their way of life a living example of
denouncing greed and arrogance teaching at the same time love and
understanding.
Chapter 6
1. Life can offer ultimate happiness when it is guided by love and knowledge.
2. Life can bring great unhappiness when it is guided by arrogance and greed.
3. Death is the reunion with the Gods and a magnificent moment similar to birth.
4. Fear is not worthy of the grandeur of life and the Gods.

PUBLIC SERVANT?
NO, THANK YOU!!!
Unpredicted
developments for the wider public sector caused by the massive
departure of employees and executives, either due to early retirement
or mainly through resigning.
In an effort to understand the reasons
behind these departures that has brought many state organizations in a
dreadful condition due to grave personnel deficiencies, we asked the
opinion of two employees: Dimitra Karageorgopoulou, 46, former employee
of a social security organization and Vangelis Theodorakis, 42, former
employee of a municipality company.
“They called me a rat” says Vangelis Theodorakis
“I
didn’t have to try much. To be exact it never annoyed me. As soon as I
finished high school, I found a job as a municipality sweeper. I wasn’t
raised on cushions so it wasn’t difficult for me. I begun to like it.
My duty was to keep the streets clean and it made me happy to see them
tidy. I cleaned everything. Under cars and motorcycles. I polished it
all, I tell you! Then they started making fun of me. They called me a
geek, a rat and similar things. I was confused. I took up a job, got
paid for it and wanted to be good at it because it was better than to
fail at it. When things got tough, I asked for a transfer. I went to
garbage collecting, then to gardeners and so on. The same situation
everywhere. Finally, I gave up and found my peace of mind. They’re all
pathetic”.
“I was a bad public servant”
Dimitra Karageorgopoulou confesses.
“I
was a young girl and I felt insecurity oppressing me. I thought I would
get away from it only if I was employed in the public sector. I don’t
know where this was coming from. Maybe from my parents. I really don’t
know. When I was appointed I calmed down. But before I get the chance
to feel happy, I realized that I would spend my whole life working in
an indifferent job with no creativity and satisfaction. If I was lucky
I would escape from this cage in three decades. I panicked but in a
different way this time. As if I was buried in a grave. I started
hating my colleagues although it wasn’t their fault. Then I became
cynical. I didn’t give a damn and the time I was spending at work was
like it never existed the moment I left the workplace. I started to
hate myself, and also the people I was supposed to serve. I was a bad
servant. Today, reflecting on my behavior I realize I was punishing
innocent people, taking revenge for my own misery. I wish I could ask
for their forgiveness. Since I resigned, I begun understanding many
things about myself.
Now, nothing comes easy but I am not a spoiled
child anymore. I won my self-respect. Every effort I make, makes me
happy. I’m sure I’ll manage.”

The Legislative Parliament Committee left the world of politics speechless.
SOLON! SOLON!
OF THE HALF OR OF THE "HOLON" ("total"-"of all" in Greek)
The
scope of the new law draft submitted for vote in the Parliament are the
ethical, financial and educational rules that should preside in the
life of those participating in the state. The reforms are similar to
those introduced by Solon in Ancient Athens. It goes without doubt that
without deviations from the principles of the Constitution, the
community of politicians representing all public servants is obliged to
deal with the following dilemma: to serve the public or to be
privileged pilferers of democracy?
The proposal includes a set of
rules divided into categories of civil servants, e.g. parliament or
carrier politicians, legislators, judges, auditors. Special rules
concerning the private sector i.e. journalists and publishers. A common
rule which concerns all public servants is the salary that is
determined as equivalent with the minimum wages of the public and the
private sector.
Another common rule is the mandatory participation
in all grades of Public Education from the first to the last degree, as
well as in the state social security funds. Specifically, if a citizen
has followed more than one third of his primary education (e.g. first
to third grade) in a private school he/she is excluded from
participating in the state services and offices. The same applies in
the case of systematic hospitalization in private clinics in Greece or
abroad.
Permanency will be granted to citizens above 45 years of age
that have participated in social and political activities and have been
positively evaluated through systematic procedures.
A prerequisite
for participating in politics -apart from university degrees- is to
have a term in productive procedures. Indicatively we mention: one year
as an industry worker, one year of work in agriculture, one year in
social services, one year as manager in production units or services.
All servants and politicians will be offered accommodation in an
environment correspondent to the standard of living of the 50% of the
community they serve or represent.
All employees are obliged to
bestow the co-management of their personal assets to the State for as
long as they offer their services.
A special service will coordinate
yearly subsidized travels that aim to expand knowledge on issues of
financial and social management. Social relations of civil servants and
politicians with representatives of the social classes as
entrepreneurs, union representatives etc are strictly forbidden.
Any proposals coming from entities should be delivered in writing, examined, and answered within a specified timetable.
Reforms are compulsory
Professor of Pantion University Dimitris Theodorou commented the bill draft and mentioned the following:
“Undoubtedly,
the system of governance has reached a serious halt. This is a result
of the ability of financially powerful centers to exercise authority
and determine thus willingly or unwillingly the moral terms with which
people relate to each other and lead their lives. Individualism is
deified and enlarged to a supreme mean to an end to the detriment of
the community which is diminished and breached, translated in the
citizen’s consciousness as an ideal pillaging field.
In essence,
we refer to a non-culture and a non-society, notions that in their
positive aspects have as prerequisites the growth and progress of the
collective. Under these circumstances a procedure of reform is
compulsory, since it will aim against the causes that create this
social disintegration. In times where the “Law of God” is out of place
and cannot impose a just or unjust collective spirit, the void must be
covered by “Man’s Laws” which will emerge from his conscious effort to
co-exist and develop viably -not necessarily in quantity but certainly
in quality.”

COMMUNIST PARTIES DENOUNCE THE TERM "REVOLUTION"
During
their European Congress that takes place every two years the Communist
Parties decided to eliminate the term “revolution” from their
fundamental principles. The starting point for their presumptions was a
study carried out by the International Center for Marxist Research. In
a comprehensive evaluation review of the revolutions of the 20th
century it concluded that revolutions “were never a conscious choice of
large population groups for the reform of society” but mostly
“compulsory acts of self-defense against extreme forms of oppression.”
The
necessity of vengeance, as mentioned, is “no longer the fertile grounds
that cultivate human consciousness in issues of collectivism and
socialism.” It’s clear now that “the social avant-garde is obliged to
work constantly in order for the citizens to be educated and show
respect to the collective commodities”. In analysis, these are the
collective standard of living, the conditions of labor, the collective
environment, collective education and collective healthcare.
The
first goal now is that communists should be pioneering in “organizing
social avant-garde and elevating innovative ideas. Under conditions
where the globalized economy can be dealt with only as a historic
finality, the progressive forces of the world should fight together and
work in all possible ways to be ahead of the rapid developments for the
benefit of equality and social justice.”
A harsh critique was
expressed on the practices of many national parties that set revolution
as their “strategic goal”, postponing under this spectrum solving basic
problems of co-existence of individuals and social groups and
projecting them to an ideal future without sufficiently or merely
analyzing all the existing conditions of labor and life of the
citizens. As mentioned, “communists appear as disaster-preaching
messiahs and this results in them being astranged both from the people
but also by significant ranks of progressive individuals whom they
always dealt with suspicion and animosity.”
And continues that in
other cases “through contradictions we marched along with all kinds of
sectoral interests in order to establish alliances that unfortunately
were proven to be brief and also erosive, as far as the development of
the feelings of collectiveness, solidarity and social responsibility
are concerned, sentiments that ought to burden the shoulders of each
citizen and each social group with a socialistic consciousness.”
The
representatives of the Greek Communist Party walked-out of the
Conference characterizing it as a betrayal towards the objectives and
the principles communists ought to serve. A severe criticism of the
leadership of the Greek Party followed, implying that certain
personalities infiltrated the party leading it to its isolation from
social progressiveness and the whole of society.
As far as the
departure of the Greek Communist Party is concerned, the resolution of
the Conference mentioned: “The isolation of communists from their
natural environment of action i.e. the wider subversive movement they
should organize and enhance, and moreover their transgression to
rear-guards of unionists’ struggles, shall be recorded as a success of
the existing status quo and of backwardness.”
The resolution
concludes: “Revolution is the every day goal of the individual and of
organized groups for social justice, integrity, solidarity and
prosperity from the microcosm of the family to the global community.
Co-existence, peace and sustainable development are goals that can be
materialized through education, self-organization of small social
groups, constant social interventions in all levels of structures and
the imposition of new structures whenever required. Comrades,
co-citizens of the global community, socialism is the future! Socialism
or barbarianism!”

Interview of Mr. Makarios Christodoulou to Despina Dimitriou.
SEX AND DEATH: "THE RELIGIONS CLAIM THE COPYRIGHT"
“…the
most vital function for reproducing humanity has been converted, with
the arrival of monotheistic religions and the imposition of the law of
the Father-God to an infectious monolith that burdens and crashes the
existence of each human being.”
Internationally renowned
Professor of Psychology and Rector of the Philosophy Department of
Athens University, Mr. Makarios Christodoulou, in a revealing interview
interprets fundamental points of his presentation at the conference
organized by the Academy of Athens with the subject “And Man created
God - The psychological necessity of Deification through time”,
attacking sexual taboos and other social obsessions.
Hypnosis and Psychosis!
D.D.:
Mr. Christodoulou, your statements have often surprised society. Could
you explain with non-scientific terms the meaning of your phrase:
“Society is under a state of massive hypnosis and moreover psychosis”.
M.C.:
Mrs. Dimitriou, the notions of “normal” - “socially accepted” are a
resultant of the way each member of society perceives and receives the
behaviour of others. Under this spectrum, I ask you to examine our
acceptance of various manifestations of violence, and at the same time
our lack of accepting manifestations of sexuality.
For example,
bullets, swords, daggers, and stakes can pierce the human body and
penetrate it more or less in any TV zone. This imagery is encompassed
within the context, if not of normality, surely of the widely accepted.
This of course can be explained. Violence throughout history is
constantly the medium that saves the individual, the family, the tribe,
the nation from the threat of the “other”. This is the reason why it
remains until today the main subject of study in parallel “educational”
mechanisms.
Now, imagine yourself witnessing in the afternoon news a
vigorous, glorious penis penetrating a woman’s body. I can imagine you
ready to shout “It would be scandalous!”
D.D.: Indeed…
M.C.:
…because the resultant I mentioned before is not only a result of will,
it also determines will. In other words, as you asked me, a massacre is
a normal-accepted image, while a sexual act is dealt with as a hideous
image.
Thus, the supremacy of this widely accepted resultant
proves the collective hypnosis and psychosis. Children play “war” with
no remorse, while love with feelings of guilt. Adults consume murder
passively every day but experience their sexuality through the peeping
hole and with extraordinary twists.
Now, imagine a society where
children would flirt free from guilt and on the other hand feel guilt
for anything that implies, even as a game, the taking of a life.
D.D.: Can you distinguish a procedure that may change the direction of this resultant?
M.C.: Of course! But it is not likely to happen.
D.D.: What do you mean?
M.C.:
Many forces co-exist in society. The avant-garde who can reveal society
its “dangerous” side is constantly present, nevertheless scorned and
guilty itself. This is an era in which the powers that prevail are
carelessness, prosperity and arrogance. There is no need to take care
of anything in advance. Economy and growth rates take care of
everything. All commercial activities, transactions and productions
that secure this growth are rendered legitimate and sanctified. On the
other hand, all reactions within the glossy wrap-all seem out of tune,
backward, even treacherous!
The Father-God
D.D.: I have a question. Why did this discussion begin in a conference about religion?
M.C.:
It’s simple! Exactly because the most vital function for reproducing
humanity has been converted, with the arrival of monotheistic religions
and the imposing of the law of the Father-God to an infectious monolith
that burdens and crashes the existence of each human being.
D.D.: I don’t understand, why are you blaming religion for that?
M.C.:
The imposition of laws as a will of the Gods is an old recipe and it is
unknown when it was introduced in the society of humans. Libertine that
was introduced by the ancient Athenian Democracy brought phenomena of
degradation in communities that lacked institutions to promote
participation and responsibility of the citizen.
The divine law on
the other hand, concentrated the power in the hands of its
representatives. Society was moulded and activated around this pole.
It’s just that no one would voluntarily offer power to anybody, not
even God himself.
Thus, in a certain moment two invincible “tools”
were utilized: guilt for sexual desire and the fear of death. And
religion as we all know has obtained the copyright for both of these
primordial human agonies.
D.D.: So you are actually saying that the counterpart of human consciousness is the divine law?
M.C.:
Exactly. When the consciousness of the citizen is missing it is
compensated by the Law of God. The difference is that consciousness
grows, is taught and cultivated in a thousand ways and efforts in an
advanced society that seeks it, while fear simply exists everywhere.
D.D.: Do you think that the confrontation is unequal?
M.C.: Fear is there. Consciousness is an achievement of hardship.
D.D.: Let’s return to the issue of sexual taboos…
M.C.:
...indeed, although we haven’t changed subject. Sexual desire is the
infinite vital force of humanity, if not of the whole universe. By
denying the grandeur of love the only thing left is to commit massive
suicide. And this is exactly what we are doing!
Except if we
create the conditions through which humanity shall find the strength to
shape its next God. The “self contained Man-God” liberated from guilt
for his nature, compromised with death, free to experience the bliss of
his inexplicable destiny.
D.D.: Thank you very much.
M.C.: The pleasure was mine.
