Mojata molba do site vas e , koj kolku moze i kade moze (site svetski forumi, vesnici, blogovi) , da go promovira i da go isprati.
Znaci , ne bi trebalo mnogu.Samo "copy-paste".
Tekstot e odlicno preveden na angliski jazik i bi trebalo da ja postigne svojata cel , vo ova seuste aktuelno post-Bukurestko vreme.
Blagodaram odnapred do site patrioti!

Molba do adminot ili odgovorniot moderator ako moze naslovot na istava tema da go promeni vo kirilicno pismo.Se izvinuvam , no na ovoj kompjuter nemam kirilicna podrska.
Tekstot:
Modern Day Holocaust
How does one get rid of a nation without being labeled a fascist, a Hitler, a Nazi, etc…? According to the latest examples put forth by Greece and supported by some NATO members, it can be done!
Three countries were supposed to get a NATO invitation; only two of them did - Albania and Croatia. Macedonia… well, she got an ultimatum; change your country’s name, your nationality, compromise your identity, and we will give you the invitation that you have been long fighting for; "Please sign above the dotted line", because this will make it legit. That is what modern day Holocaust looks like.
Macedonia did not receive the invitation not because she did not meet all the qualifications that NATO members proposed, but because her name is Macedonia and she is a home to a large group of people who are proud to call themselves Macedonian. "We duly recognize the work and efforts of Macedonia on its road to NATO accession", were the words of NATO Secretary General Jaap De Hoop Schaeffer. However, he went on to say, because of the dispute over the country’s name the invitation will have to sit on standby until Macedonia and Greece reach an agreement on a new name.
Greece objected that Macedonia’s name implied territorial claim on the Northern Greek province of the same name. Interesting statement, and allow me to tell you why. During the late 1980’s, when it was clear that the Republic of Macedonia was going to declare its independence from Yugoslavia, Greece renamed its northern territory to "Macedonia"; prior to this, the territory was called "Northern Greece". Furthermore, that northern territory did not belong to Greece before 1913. Greece, along with Serbia, and Bulgaria, annexed Macedonia by force in 1912 and partitioned it in 1913 without the consent of the Macedonian people. This was a forceful act and Greece illegally acquired 51% of Macedonia’s territory. This was not about taking back their "own" territory; if that was the reason, Greece would have fought tooth and nail for the entire land – they would not have agreed to split the land with Serbia and Bulgaria! This was a clear example of greed and theft.
After acquiring the land, the Greek government began to punish those that spoke Macedonian and they did not allow anyone to utter the word Macedonia. If Macedonia is Greek, why did/does Greece implement assimilation policies to forcibly turn Macedonians into Greeks? Why were so many Macedonians expelled from their homes in the late 1940’s if they were supposedly Greek; If Greece felt that these were their people, Greece should have protected them, not expel them or worse yet, execute many of them. And, before 1989, why were people punished for even whispering the "word" Macedonia? This is recent history; the people who suffered this injustice are still alive and they have been fighting for their recognition ever since. There are over 2,000 lawsuits sitting at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg in regards to this genocide.
As recently as this past February, a dual citizen of the United States of America and the Republic of Macedonia was denied entry to Greece because he said he was Macedonian. In October of 2007 another Macedonian with a dual citizenship (Australia and Republic of Macedonia) was denied entry because he told border patrol he was coming into Greece so he could visit his family in Lerin. For the reason that he said Lerin and not Florina, Greek border patrol did not let him in and he was blacklisted. By using the ancient Macedonian names of the cities within the northern Greek province, one is considered a delinquent, a criminal, and he is forever blacklisted and denied entry into Greece. When Greece acquired 51% of Macedonia, they began to change the names of all the cities, villages, regions, and so on – thus, "if it ain’t Greek, we’ll make it Greek". Should remind you of that one scene in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" when the father tries to explain that the word "kimono" is Greek.
It is a disgrace that in the year 2008 A.D. the European Union is still covering up human rights abuses. What is even more humiliating is that they are entirely dismissing the Macedonians’ history and are only following Greek propaganda. People have a right to self-identity; they have a God given right to identify as their parents and ancestors did. Instead of following the examples of the United States of America which allows all of us to be who we want to be, the EU insists on ignoring human rights issues and continues to participate in wiping out a nation; change your name, compromise your identity, and we will let you be our friend! That’s modern day Holocaust. And you thought that the bullies only existed in the school yard.
