The despicable traitors have cowered in their corners, trembling with
fear when they contemplate the rage and the fair punishment to be
unleashed on them by the Greek people, whom they tried to eradicate,
and like every terrified animal they are growling and shrieking
threatening “subdue and accept us and fear us even though we haven’t
even succeeded in imposing ourselves on you, and we are not at least
clever enough to create a credible propaganda, and we even show you
our miserable and pathetic “tools”, presenting them as threatening
claws aimed at you”, in an effort to usurp the right to celebrate the
anniversary of our Heroes as if they themselves, the grovelling
servile looters and losers, have managed to accomplish anything.
In their histrionics they announce that they will arrest people, that
people will be prosecuted, indicted and brought to trial, that they
will club people down, demanding from our children and our army to
parade like lifeless puppets, amidst clouds of tear gases, in front of
the people’s rapists, those that no hero of the 1821 Revolution would
have accepted and whom no such hero would consider any better than a
common prostitute.
It seems that they have forgotten that this very same People paraded
fearlessly in front of Nazi machine guns, honouring the anniversary of
the 25th March 1821, in the midst of the German occupation, up to the
point that Hitler’s Nazis withdrew.
Are we going to be afraid of the threats of the clubs and the flash
grenades, in order to allow these ridiculous caricatures who mar all
the national institutions to claim that “not only did they spend the
money along with the Greek People” but they also raped and disgraced
our anniversary of our Revolution against the Turks along with the
Greek people, and that all together we spat on Kolokotronis’,
Karaiskakis’, and Diakos’ blood, to name but a few from an endless
list of known and unsung Greeks whom Pangalos, that political rotting
blubber, had the nerve to characterize as “ignorant” and “rag-tag
half-dressed peasants” (thus, insulting the very symbols he has sworn
to serve)?
We are not cowardly troglodytes who burrow into their holes, like
those who impose the fascist junta upon the Greek people, as suits
Hitler’s wannabes who live abroad. We know who is going to be the real
loser if they dare raise their hand against the Greek people as best
suits a dictatorial regime worse than that of any Kantafi, already
steeped in the blood of Greek people who set themselves on fire, who
throw themselves into the deep sea, who jump off their balconies and
who starve to death.
I take huge offence, at their effrontery to announce that they will
exercise as much violence as they wish to prevent me from responding
to the mandate stipulated by the 120Σ (of our Constitution), from
demonstrating for my Human Dignity, and my refusal to allow all those
who molest Greece and who act in utter disregard of the wills of Greek
people, offending the memory of Greek dead heroes, and who are afraid
of their lynching by the Greek people, a lynching act that they have
brought on to themselves.
Since they are giving us such an ultimatum, to yield simply to the
threat of their violence, their illegal and brutal violence, my NO
(OXI) will be announced to them, and if they dare prosecute me, I will
be more than happy to display and expose all my arguments and evidence
and to make all the counter-lawsuits and actions needed.
On the other hand, if they wish to crush my head with a club, I have
no fear because they already did that to my father and they did not
manage to erase either his name or his memory, and lastly, there are
hundreds of thousands of fellow Greeks who are going to continue my
Struggle until all these criminals against humanity, all these
perpetrators of the genocide of the Greek People are sought out and
hanged in a new Nuremberg trial.
However, if they prevent me from acting the way my Constitution, my
Heritage and my Action require, they will have proven how much they
are afraid of even one single Greek person who is aware of their
actions and the sad truth of their hollow threats, and they will have
managed to make a record once again of any similar act they make, and
these acts will be presented as hard and binding, extremely important
evidence in front of the International Criminal Court, the Hague, for
their prosecution and ultimate conviction.
