Macedon and the Macedonians

Dear Macedonians, one way to defend ourselves from the Greek onslaught and gain back our identity and dignity is to fight back to the level to which the Greeks have reduced us; that is to attack their identity as they have attacked ours. We need prove nothing to them except to expose them as the artificial identity they truly are and to uncover their design to wipe us out in order to usurp our Macedonian heritage.

Democracy. On page 59 we read: Through the end of the revolution in 1830, Greeks, including most of the nineteenth century nationalists, seemed to have had a vague but firm sense of continuity from ancient to modern Greece , though this was not articulated in racial terms but on the basis of a common language, history, and consciousness. In effect, at this time, whoever called themselves a Greek was a Greek. It is because of this that many Greek-speaking Albanians, Slavs, Romanians, and Vlachs were easily assimilated and indeed became important players in Greek patriotism at the time.

Until the beginning of the 19th century, the average inhabitant of Greece called himself or herself a Roman (Romios), and the (Greek) language Romeika.

To some extent the consciousness of the modern Greek of his classical ancestry is a product of Western Scholarship.

Here is what Michael Herzfeld has to say in his book Anthropology. On page 67 we read: The example of modern Greece provides a useful key to historicizing those who Eric Wolf has ironically dubbed the people without history (Wolf 1982). For the modern Greeks - a people arguably plagued by an excess of history, but of a kind invented for them by more powerful others.

Here is what Appleton had to say in his 1901 Annual Encyclopedia third series volume VI. On page 113 we read: The first Greek who had a plan for insurrection and for a liberated Greece was Rhigas of Valestino, a Thessalian who served in high posts in Wallachia , spent some years in Vienna , and was handed over by the Austrians to the Turks in Trieste in 1798 as a revolutionary conspirator, and hanged in Belgrade . Rhigas was the author of poems, revolutionary proclamations and a constitution, closely modeled on the French constitution of 1793 and 1795. In this document he spoke of the sovereign people of the proposed state as including without distinction of religion or language Greeks, Albanians, Vlachs, Armenians, Turks and every other race.

Here is what we read on page 42 of the Insight Guides Athens Greece Series. Because of numerous and protracted foreign occupations, true Athenians were a relatively small minority even in the age of Pericles. In later periods, the city was suffering from severe depopulation and re-stocked with Albanians. At the time of Greek independence in 1834, Athens was a miserable village with a population of only 6,000.

In the Atlantic Monthly of January 1882 volume XLIX we read: It is one of a group made famous in the Greek revolution of 1821 by the bravery of its Albanian settlers, in defense of a country which they had never adopted for their own till this moment of danger came.

On page 109 of the book Entangled Identities edited by Atsuko Ichijo and Willfried Spohn we read: It should be strongly emphasized, however, this image of classical Greece was constructed in Europe and was imported to the newborn Greek state. (Tsoukalas 2002)

After reading the above quotes, there is but one logical conclusion that can be reached and that is the Modern Greeks are the direct descendants of the Slavs, Albanians and Vlachs and have nothing to do with the so-called ancient Greeks.

Unfortunately Greeks dont want to talk about their recent history because they dont want it to be discovered that they are frauds and charlatans.

Let us not allow the Greeks to fool the world that their dispute with the Macedonian people is anything but a ruse to sidestep the real issue, the existence of the Macedonian minority in Greece . The so-called Greek dispute with Macedonia is not about names or history! How can it be when the Modern Greeks are neither Greeks nor Macedonians? Why would a people who are neither Greeks nor Macedonians care about Macedonia s name or Macedonia s history? The ONLY concern the so-called Modern Greeks have is how to continue to hang on to Macedonian lands and to the Macedonian heritage as long as they can.

Herodotus of Halikarnassus (The Father of History) in his book "The Histories" (which was divided into nine books) in 5th book with name "Terpsichore" wrote ALL the truth about Macedonia... Please Monkey-donias read them and stop this propaganda!!!

MACEDONIA WAS,IS AND WILL BE GREEK!!!!!

[MACEDONIANHELLINISM]

Demostenes.. Lol. Can you put the historical context of that speech?

Who did he say that to. What he was answered back?

Classic FYRoM propaganda. Inserting texts out of context to suit their distorted view.

[2009PMO]

Poor Herzfeld...I guess he 'll be mad at you for using his words out of context! The process of nation-building that you describe using a selection of sources to attack the Greek nation should remind you of what happens now in your case...peace!
