I. Introduction

I repeat many times myself in this work, but the objective is to emphasize the weaknesses of an unnecessary, unwanted, undemocratic, multicultural, and controlled artificial “creature”, the European Union (EU) and even worse the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). If someone wants to learn what is a true democracy and a real civilization, he has to visit and see the Acropolis of Athens and the thousands of churches and monasteries all over the country, which reveal the splendor, the greatness, the glory, the civilization, the faith, the homogeneity, and the paideia of these people and nation (the Hellenes, the Greeks). This is the reason that the controlled by the Illuminati malevolent EU is against Greece; its envy is unmeasurable because it cannot compete with Greece’s contribution to the world. But, the role of Greece is even beyond secular democracies and cultures; it is a historic spiritual and divine offering to humanity.[1]

Undoubtedly, the objective of a democratic government is the maximization of the social welfare of its citizens and the continuous upward route of its people to reach perfection. But, this perfection is coming only from the True Faith that pseudo-politicians are ignoring. Democracy was developed in Athens Greece and Greeks have the obligation to keep this socio-political system independently of what the other Europeans (Germans) are doing or what is their philosophy[2] or what is the degree of their submission to the Illuminati (globalists). This system, democracy and Christianity, was given to West Europe by Greeks, but they did not preserve it; they prefer an autocratic, oligarchical, nihilistic, dictatorial system and heretical, as it is that of the European Union’s, today. Greece has to say “NO” to these foreign dictators and to their “values”, because Greece has nothing in common with these Western Europeans. For this to happen, Greece has to leave the Euro-zone. Greece does not belong to Europe (the apostate daughter of Greece); Europe (Εὐρώπη)[3] belongs to Greece. Greece has to be very careful dealing with Western Europeans because history has taught us that they are very dangerous people and ready to use all their means to prove to the rest of the world their fake power.[4] Europeans destroyed Greece to save the scout of the global currency, their euro; this is unacceptable and Greece has to leave for ever from the EU. The benefits for Greece, as a forced member of the Euro-zone, are not zero, but negative. Greeks cannot lose their national sovereignty, reduce their social welfare, and become experimental rats in the hands of the ignorant Europeans.[5] Greeks have to be in union only with all the other Orthodox nations (their spiritual children).[6]  What unites nations is the common faith (the same dogma). 

II. Greece’s Past Corruption and Present Confinement

It is well known that the remaining large amount of the debt belongs to (foreign) banks in Greece, which will be looted from the Greek people, as it happened the last years. These debts of the banks and the amount that has been stolen by the corrupted liberal politicians is a matter, which can be solved by the justice system. You put the justice system to work investigating all of the money that has gone to the banking system. During the first six months of 2015, “Greek” banks received from the European Emergency Liquidity Assistance fund (ELA) a total of €94 billion. Supposedly, this money went to cover bank deposits that were fleeing the country. But that only amounts to €43 billion. We were also told that some funds were used to secure everyday liquidity. That amounts to another €2 billion.  Even if we round it up to €50 billion, where did the remaining €45 billion go? Why is nobody being held accountable for this? This money was loaned with an interest rate that was much higher than the normal interbank rate and it is owed by the Greek taxpayer, because this money was loaned with taxpayers as the guarantor. Prosecutors need to get involved, to investigate what happened with these loans and to eliminate this debt from Greece’s ledger; and after, all these people who stole and looted this money must be tried and convicted. So, the entirety of this debt would be written off. In this way, we will not even have to deal with the issues of odious debt and whatever else is foreseen by international law.
Greece cannot borrow yet from the market by issuing government bonds and it must not borrow on the global markets ever again. Nation-states borrow in the global markets for the sole purpose of covering up the black holes created by the corrupted politicians and the looting that has taken place from national coffers on behalf of those in power. When a national economy does need to borrow, it can do so internally by issuing government bonds and selling them to the central bank (open market purchase). The best will be the central bank to be public and to issue money to finance the budget deficit. Greece needs its own national central bank. The only reason to borrow is to make investments, bona fide investments based on careful planning, in order to ensure that the money, which is borrowed will be repaid from the investment itself, and not by forcing the taxpayers to continue to pay higher and higher taxes. The country need an independent (national and public) central bank and her own currency; otherwise there is no possibility that there will be growth and prosperity. A private central bank is acting always against the public (Main Street) interest and in favor of the financial market (Wall Street) interest. President Woodrow Wilson understood it, but it was too late.[7] Without a national currency, a country is not a sovereign nation anymore, but a controlled protectorate.
Unfortunately, Greece has been borrowing all this time to pay the usurious interest rates to the lenders, and to pay for her expensive defense from another NATO[8] member, the barbaric Turkey and for the criminal looting of the national treasury by the socialist politicians and their cronies. This must stop and the responsible politicians must go to jail. Greece has to create a new independent from the EU economy that will operate in the interests (maximization of their welfare) of her citizens, which will protect workers and national wealth, State Owned Enterprises (SOEs) and at the same time to present a stable environment for entrepreneurs and businesses to operate on a domestic competitive market away from the giants MNCs and the Chinese counterfeited products. The ultimate objective of any government must be the protection and the well-being of its citizens (“Greeks first” and not the illegal immigrants first).
          The controlled media and EU are saying that if Greece will return to her national currency (drachma), it will be depreciated and Greece will have to face high cost for her imports (thus, she can reduce imports), but exports will be improved, which will be beneficial for the country.  Greece will continue to have serious and growing problems, if it will stay without national currency and will remain in the Euro-zone. The controlled media also say that there will be a catastrophic devaluation if Greece departs from the euro, but it will be the euro that will be devalued, and not the national currency of Greece. In June 2015, when the referendum was announced in Greece and was set for July 5, 2015, within the one-week period that followed, the euro was battered in the global markets.[9] The ECB was forced to pour over €800 billion into the markets in order to stabilize the euro. This is a strong proof that the euro is incredibly unstable and artificial and they force Greece to these sufferings to protect the weak euro (the prototype of the global currency).
            Needless to say, Greece’s new national currency (the historic drachma)[10] will be stabilized itself as long as her economy will recover, and the quicker you recover on the basis of productivity, growth, and security, the faster your currency will stabilize. There will be a lot of capital that is currently parked in the Euro-zone and in the home closets that will seek a “safe haven” and to flee the artificial and increasingly unstable euro and be translated to drachmas. Greece’s new currency (actually, the old drachma), which will be inside the forex (foreign exchange) system and be traded in the international marketplace, will be one such “safe haven”. As a result, it is quite possible to see upward pressures on the value of the new currency of Greece. This drachma can be used by all the nations in the region for trade and tourism with Greece.
III. Greece’s Independence and Self-sufficiency
            In order for Greece to recover and improve its primary and secondary sector, it needs to enforce protectionist measures. However, the protectionist measures need to be selective and to ensure competitiveness, to provide for a truly competitive framework instead of simply protecting the profits of domestic oligarchs. Greece needs to allow her productive capacity to grow and develop, for investment to take place in entrepreneurship and development in the private sector under conditions that protect against unfair competition or the monopoly conditions created by foreign multinationals or Greek and foreign cartels. Greece’s tourism, shipping, transport, agricultural products, oil and natural gas in the near future, and other exports will bring foreign currency inside the country and with her growth and her human capital (due to her advanced education, high tech, and paideia) the country will improve her competition with the other countries.
Greece has the ability to stand on its own feet, as long as it will be independent from the EU and send permanently the Troika back from where it came. Greece has 98% self-sufficiency in terms of food production, plus self-sufficiency in terms of energy production. But, it has the NATO “allies” (Turkey and Albania and now, the betrayal of the Greek Macedonia to the artificial nation of Vardarska = Вардарска бановина, as “North Macedonia”), which do not allow Greece to exercise her rights on her natural resources and her independence. (sic). Greece has minerals and huge deposits of oil and natural gas. Therefore, Greece would have no problem undertaking an orderly transition to its national currency (the historic drachma), which would permit a quick recovery of the Greek economy, based exclusively on its own strengths, but which would be outward looking, as she will finally be able to develop trade relations with any country, instead of operating as a protectorate of Germany. Greek scientists must be back to the country after all these years that they left for Europe or other countries to find employment. Employment and income are not the only needs for a person; his country, his family, his civilization, his faith, and his paideia are more valuable and necessary from anything else for all Greeks. Also, Greeks must go back to their exquisite villages, where life is qualitative, traditional, and close to nature and God.
On January 25, 2015, elections took place in Greece and SYRIZA (the unmentionable leftist, Alexis Tsipras) together with ANEL (Panos Kammenos) formed a new coalition government. He appointed Yanis Varoufakis as Minister of Finance and people started to hope again that they will leave the Euro-zone and the debt crisis will be over for Greece.  Then, it was a bailout referendum in Greece on July 5, 2015 and 62% of Greeks voted NO; but EU transformed it to YES (this is another indication that EU does not believe in democratic values and does not act democratically, it just follows the orders of the globalists Illuminati) and started and continues up to now an enormous pressure against Greeks to punish them for their vote and their value system, especially her Christian Orthodox faith. But, communists (liberals) are enslaved by the globalists and the poor Greeks remained under EU’s occupation.
In 2015, liberals and leftists (even conservatives) across Europe and all Greeks applauded Alexis Tsipras and his SYRIZA government as they faced off against the Troika (European Commission, ECB, and IMF), which was holding Greece’s economy to ransom and Greeks captive. Greece was seen as standing up to the Troika’s ruinous economic policies, but did not last; Tsipras[11] could not stand the pressure from the dark powers and submitted to the absurd claims for the permanent submission of the country;[12] so he lost the opportunity to be listed as a new great Greek leader, equal of his ancestors, to the history books. What a pity for him and the country that he throw away a historic opportunity! Then, he declines his own leadership.
IV. The Sacrifice of the Greeks to Preserve the Calamitous Euro
The IMF did not follow its usual course of action to offer some debt relief to beleaguered Greece by all these usurers. As the Funds report notes, the IMF recognised in 2013 that “upfront debt restructuring would have been better for Greece”. However, this did not go ahead because it was deemed “not acceptable to the Euro partners” by German Federal Minister of Finance, Wolfgang Schäuble.[13] Brussels, the report admits, was not prepared to risk revealing the unviability of the Euro-zone project. The IMF duly obliged. Greece’s economy, (actually, the people and businesses that comprise it) were to be sacrificed, lest the weakness of the euro become clear.
The report admits that “the Troika arrangement potentially subjected the IMF staff’s technical judgements to political pressure from an early stage”. This gives the lie to the idea that ignorant technocrats (managerial “experts” formulating the dictated policy beyond the reach of the demos because they ignore the history, the values, the culture and everything else for the country) are somehow benignly disinterested. The Troika was working towards a clear political goal: the preservation of the Euro-zone with the sacrifice of Greece. When the Euro-zone crisis hit, the Troika acted as if it was calmly pursuing appropriate solutions. But, as the report notes, this was not the case: any “solution” was acceptable, so long as the Euro-zone project (the control of the 19 member-nations and preparing them for the global slavery) was not put at risk.[14]
This report is as much an indictment of the European Union as it is of the IMF. It makes clear that the EU is not a disinterested, technocratic project, but it is a suspicious political project beholden to a “unified” Europe at all costs.[15] Those who supported Brexit are often castigated as irresponsible for putting politics (namely, the idea that the demos should decide who rules them) before the interests of the U.K. economy. (sic). It is the EU, which has created economic ruin in the pursuit of globalists’ political ends and now, it provides difficulties to British decision to leave the EU. Fear of the euro unravelling the death knell of European integration, which was resulted in Brussels and was forcing economic ruin upon Greece. And, for this, the Greek people are still paying a price and all political parties have fallen in this New World Order trap, they have become betrayers of their country.[16] But since November 2016, there is some global hope with the new populist President of the U.S., Donald Trump.[17] Of course, it is very difficult to pursue his policies because the establishment (the dark powers) are in control of the U.S. since the 18th century.[18] The only hope would be a cooperation between Russia (Vladimir Putin) and the U.S. (Donald Trump); the rest of the political leaders are puppets, followers.
V. The Need for National Sovereignty and Social Welfare
The Greek withdrawal from the Euro-zone is necessary for the economy to recover and improve the social welfare and for the country to reobtain her sovereignty. This must be the only objective for the Greek politicians, if they know what they are doing and what the country and the future generations need. The controversial and much discussed possible exit, “Grexit”,[19] from the EMU was not allowed by Brussels; they want to control all European nations because they derive their power from this system. Proponents of the proposal argue that leaving the overvalued euro and reintroducing the historic drachma would dramatically boost exports and tourism and encourage the local economy while discouraging expensive imports. Also, the country will have her own Central Bank and independent monetary policy.[20] Now, it is in a depression since 2009, it has no tools to stimulate the economy, and the country is mortgaged for 99 years.
Also, China is buying everything in Greece, which have a negative effect on Greeks’ welfare and it is modernizing its military in ways that provide the capability to conduct surprise attacks, perhaps far from home, the U.S. Pentagon said.[21] In addition, a Chinese scientific research center has built the fastest supercomputer ever made, replacing the U.S. as maker of the swiftest machine.[22] The targeting EU celebrated “triumphantly” its 50th anniversary since the Treaty of Rome on March 25, 1957. But this union had so far shamefully more failures than successes. It did not even succeed to achieve its Constitution and had to change its name (to “Treaty of Lisbon” by taking out God, Christianity, and the European traditional values), its common defense and foreign policy, and to determine its ultimate goals and objectives. Its first objectives were social and civil, then became economic, and now are just political; the prototype of globalization. EU is continuously expanded and plans to accept nations and cultures, which have nothing in common with the European ones. This expansion will cause serious problems and might cause its dissolution, which is the hope of the European citizens.[23]  In numbers, now, there may be less Europeans than ever before, who feel confidence about a growing European institutional unity and some of them feel that their governments are not democratic because they never used any referenda for the critical issues in the Union. Forced privatization in member-nations is allowing effective takeover of the economy and the security of the country by global banks and foreign businesses. The latest and the new current financial crises and austerities have caused enormous discontent towards this inhumane union. Such measures, undermining economic sovereignty, also restrict domestic uniform development, take over domestic wealth, suppress social welfare, and reduce political democracy to a shadow. After cutting the European subsidies, the “economic miracle” of the union disappeared. European citizens are not enthusiastic at all, when they were forced to throw their agricultural products to crucibles (landfills) and also when the subsidies were cut and restrictions grew; the opposition, at that time, towards the union increased.[24] But, EU has its ways to oppress any protest and oppositions.   
Actually, the SOEs belong to the citizens (tax payers, who are the loan payers) and not to the governments. Citizens have paid for the construction of their public sector utilities and infrastructure through money acquired by force (high taxes), so the government should have no right to ownership of them. How a government is giving away something, which belongs to the citizens? In reality, creditors are extorting the government to sell off the wealth of the citizens and of its future generations. This is completely unethical and unconstitutional and must be prohibited by the national justice system (Supreme Court). As time goes on, despite the ability of them to forcibly extract money, i.e., from Greece, the revenue from privatization is so small and will decline further, as time goes on; then, the country will go more and more into debt because of her negative growth (deep recession) or very low growth, which reduce her social welfare.

VI. Conclusion

Citizens of Europe and especially of historic Greece do not need to be deceived and they must refuse this global deception; they need “good life self-sufficiency”,[25] which includes sufficient work, sufficient property ownership, sufficient wealth, sufficient education, sufficient leisure time, sufficient progress, sufficient independence, and sufficient freedoms. Moderation in everything, which is the rule for the Hellenic-Orthodox civilization. Greeks need to reach human excellence (perfection), which is their cultural objective and they need self-sufficiency, security, safety, certainty, and sovereignty for developing their ultimate virtues. Then, citizens need private property ownership (a home for their families without paying “rent” to government, the unethical and unfair property taxes) and nations need public property ownership. State ownership makes people to be co-owners and cultivate civil friendships, love, patriotism, and become involved in the life of the country (homeland, nation, fatherland, πατρίς) and also to defend it from foreign invaders. The end of an Aristotelian democracy is liberty and equality. Of course, five centuries later, Greeks adopted new superior virtues, compared to their previous moral, ethical, and philosophical ones, through revelation (their Christian Orthodox faith). We expect people to reach, through work, a certain level of self-sufficiency, but privatization eliminates their right to work and confines their national wealth. Thus, we have to find the optimal level of privatization that maximizes the social welfare.[26] Greek politicians have an enormous obligation towards their historic nation and citizens; and for this reason, they have to say “NO” to the forced expropriation of the nation’s wealth. They have to send the controlled by the New Agers[27] Quartet back, where it came from, to stop payments on these usurious loans (debts), to leave the Euro-zone, and to find other allies with common Orthodox Christian values (but not with common currency). Germany has to pay Greece for the war indemnities, which are almost equal to Greece’s total public debt. By following these recommended policies, there would had been no need for any memoranda, any foreign loans, and any expropriation of the national wealth. Euro-zone and its common currency (euro) is the worst innovation so far in human history, the prototype of the common global currency and global control of all the nations by the Illuminati (globalists).

            Finally, the opposition from the majority of Europeans against this artificial “structure” of the dark powers, the EU, is immense and it is growing even though that the propaganda, the media, and the “democratic” parliaments of the EU member-nations are forced to support the union. People’s belief is that this EU has destroyed the European Christian civilization and value system. It abolished the penalization of adultery, paidophilia, drugs, abortions, and imposed the burning of the deads[28] and the marriage of homosexuals. Also, they legalize the worst illegality and paranoia that a 15 years old person can change his sex (from a boy to become a girl). It promotes abnormality, perversion, and any kind of anomaly to all Europeans even to young students. Also, it abolished the Sunday (Κυριακή, the Lord’s Day) holiday[29] that stores were closed and people were resting worshiping God. It accepted millions of illegal immigrants (Muslims), who diluted the European homogeneous societies and culture. European history should help us, as social scientists (economists), our students, and every person to understand what was the past, what is the present, and what might be the future of this fallen continent.

            Unfortunately, they try to deceive Europeans and to create a common European identity or self-consciousness for more than 500 million people from more than 30 different countries and some ignorant leaders to open the doors also to non-Europeans.[30] The objective of the Illuminati is the deception of the naïve Europeans and the destruction of the Orthodox Greece.[31] What will be the future of this mixture of nations is impossible to be predicted. With this limited knowledge (due to overspecialization and politically correctness) that scientists have today, it would be very difficult to do any correct analysis and derive an accurate inference for our socially complex, educationally ignorant, and secular world. Then, true social scientists and all leaders have to protect individual countries’ and their citizens’ interests. They must care for democracy and fairness, and their concern must be for the people, who suffer from the EU restrictions, from unfair competition among the EU members, and from the Troika’s austerities. People cannot support the corrupted pseudo-leaders, who have surrendered their nations to Brussels. They have been elected to defend their countries and maximize their citizens’ wellbeing. Then, how was it possible for Europe and especially Greece to fall in this trap? Greeks have to reject this deception and re-obtain their national sovereignty and their lost social welfare of the past with a new spiritual revolution and with new true and right spiritual and political leaders.

[2] I asked a colleague from the Philosophy Department; what is the basic philosophy of Germans? And she answered, nihilism (μηδενισμός). Nihilism (from the Latin nihil, nothing) is a philosophical doctrine that suggests the negation of one or more reputedly meaningful aspects of life. Most commonly, nihilism is presented in the form of existential nihilism, which argues that life is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value. Moral nihilists assert that morality does not inherently exist, and that any established moral values are abstractly contrived. Nihilism can also take epistemological or ontological/metaphysical forms, meaning respectively that, in some aspect, knowledge is not possible, or that reality does not actually exist. The term is sometimes used in association with anomie to explain the general mood of despair at a perceived pointlessness of existence that one may develop upon realizing there are no necessary norms, rules, or laws. Nihilism is often associated with the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, who provided a detailed diagnosis of nihilism as a widespread phenomenon of Western culture. Though the notion appears frequently throughout Nietzsche’s work, he uses the term in a variety of ways, with different meanings and connotations, all negative. When we find out that the world does not possess the objective value or meaning that we want it to have or have long since believed it to have, we find ourselves in a crisis. Nietzsche asserts that with the decline of Christianity and the rise of physiological decadence, nihilism is in fact characteristic of the modern age, though he implies that the rise of nihilism is still incomplete and that it has yet to be overcome. Though the problem of nihilism becomes especially explicit in Nietzsche’s notebooks (published posthumously), it is mentioned repeatedly in his published works and is closely connected to many of the problems mentioned there. Greeks have no such a problem, as the Western Europe does, because they have a very strong faith in God, as Christian Orthodox (98% of the population), as they are and they will be until the end of the world. For this reason, Greeks have nothing in common with the German EU.
[3] Europe (Εὐρώπη) is a Greek name, which contains the elements εὐρύς (eurus), “wide, broad” and ὤψ/ὠπ-/ὀπτ- (ōps/ōp-/opt-) “eye, face, countenance”.
[4] Germans can create a division inside the Greek government, are able to cause a fall of the Greek government, a civil war in Greece or can put Greece’ neighbors against Greece. Already Turks have started violating the Greek air space and the sea every day. Also, the arrogant Erdogan is making claims for the Greek islands, instead of feeling shame for occupying the Greek Asia Minor, the Eastern Thrace, Constantinople, the islands of Imbros, Tenedos, and North Cyprus. Conquerors are pretending to be the masters and legal landlords. «Φωνάζει ὁ κλέπτης νά τόν φοβηθῇ ὁ νοικοκύρης.»  
[6] All these European or global events have something in common; they prove that there is a war against Christians and especially, against Orthodox Christians. For example, Islamic State (ISIS), a creator of the West, has seized Christian villages in Syria and kidnapped civilians. It also beheaded Christians every day in Africa and Asia. (The Wall Street Journal, February 25, 2015, pp. A1 and A14). Also, it continues with many other atrocities with the help from the fallen West. See also, Φιλολάου Δημ.

[7] President Woodrow Wilson wrote regarding the private Fed (the U.S. central bank) that he signed the act of its establishment. “I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men [the Illuminati]. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.” (Woodrow Wilson). http://www.themoneymasters.com/the-money-masters/famous-quotations-on-banking/ 
[8] NATO is a big scamp for its members and one of its members, Turkey that occupies the Greek Asia Minor, is the most dangerous nation in the region. Then, what are the benefits from this organization?

[12] Even though that Greece, today that I am writing these words (10/28/2019), is celebrating her OXI (NO) to the Fascist Mussolini, who invaded Greece on October 28, 1940 and then, Germans followed in March 1941. Now, the country is under a German occupation and unfortunately, there is no resistance from the pseudo-politicians of Greece.

[19] We all saw the unfit and aggressive behavior of the “giant” Sarkozy against George Papandreou, when he said in a meeting in Cannes, France (November 2, 2011) that he thinks about exiting the Euro-zone.  Actually, Angela Merkel and Nicolas Sarkozy gave him an ultimatum that Greece had to “abide by the rules” of the Brussels bail-out agreement “or leave the Euro-zone”. See, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financialcrisis/8866261/Nicolas-Sarkozy-tells-Greece-If-you-dont-stick-to-the-rules-leave-the-eurozone.html . George Papandreou fell-in and another chance of rescuing the country from the Euro-zone was lost.
[20] In July 2012, the Wolfson Economics Prize (which is a £250,000) a prize for the “best proposal for a country to leave the European Monetary Union”, was awarded to a Capital Economics (an economic research consultancy based in London) team led by Roger Bootle, for their submission titled “Leaving the Euro: A Practical Guide”. The winning proposal argued that a member wishing to exit should introduce a new currency and default on a large part of its debts. The net effect, the proposal claimed, would be positive for growth and prosperity. It also called for keeping the euro for small transactions and for a short period of time after the exit from the Euro-zone, along with a strict regime of inflation-targeting and tough fiscal rules monitored by “independent experts”. The Roger Bootle/Capital Economics plan also suggested that “key officials” should meet “in secret” one month before the exit is publicly announced, and that Euro-zone partners and international organisations should be informed “three days before”. The judges of the Wolfson Economics Prize found that the winning plan was the “most credible solution” to the question of a member state leaving the Euro-zone.

China will evolve as a very dangerous nation in the near future because its culture, its “faith” (as an atheist nation), and its values are completely different from the ones of the West.

[24] France had on October 18, 2007 the biggest strike in 12 years crippled the nation’s public transportation system. See, Wall Street Journal, October 19, 2007, p. A1. The demonstrations and strikes are every day phenomena in Europe, but there are no results. France had, lately, a 3-weeks (yellow vests) demonstrations against the high taxes (austerities) imposed on its citizens. See,
[25] Even Aristotle understood self-sufficiency, which build state stability. A person must participate in the activities of the state in order to achieve his natural end and love it, as his own country. The ideal city (state) supports “mere life, it exists for the sake of a good life”. (Aristotle, Politics, 1252b27-1253a1).

[27] What is the New Age? «Ἕνα ἀπό τά στοιχεῖα τῆς ἀποκρυφιστικῆς Νέας Ἐποχῆς εἶναι ἡ σατανολατρία. Ὁ ἑωσφόρος θεωρεῖται “θεός” ... Εἶναι ὁ μεγάλος μύστης...». See, Ἅγιος Ἀγαθάγγελος Ἐσφιγμενίτης, Ἔτος ΜΗ΄, Τεῦχος 283, Σεπτέμβριος-Ὀκτώβριος 2017, σ. 19. 
[28] «’Αποτρόπαιο καί ἀσεβές εἰς τήν μνήμην τοῦ νεκροῦ ἡ καῦσις!!!» See, Ἅγιος Ἀγαθάγγελος Ἐσφιγμενίτης, Ἔτος ΜΖ΄, Τεῦχος 280, Μάρτιος-Ἀπρίλιος 2017, σ. 8.
[29] “Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. Six days thou shalt labour…on it thou shalt do no work…”. «Μνήσθητι τήν ἡμέραν τῶν σαββάτων ἁγιάζειν αὐτήν. Ἕξ ἡμέρες ἐργᾷ, καί ποιήσεις πάντα τά ἔργα σου. Τῇ δέ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ, σάββατα Κυρίῳ τῷ Θεῷ σου˙ οὐ ποιήσεις ἐν αὐτῇ πᾶν ἔργον σύ, καί ὁ υἱός σου, καί ἡ θυγάτηρ σου, ὁ παῖς σου, καί ἡ παιδίσκη σου, ὁ βοῦς σου, καί τό ὑποζύγιόν σου, καί πᾶν κτῆνός σου, καί ὁ προσήλυτος ὁ παροικῶν ἐν σοί.  Ἐν γάρ ἕξ ἡμέραις ἐποίησε Κύριος τόν οὐρανόν καί τήν γῆν καί τήν θάλασσαν καί πάντα τά ἐν αὐτοῖς, καί κατέπαυσε τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ˙ διά τοῦτο εὐλόγησε Κύριος τήν ἡμέραν τήν ἑβδόμην, καί ἡγίασεν αὐτήν.» (Exodus XX, 8-11; Ἔξοδος κ΄, 8-11).
[30] The U.S. tries for 250 years to create a homogenous society (melting pot) from immigrants from 200 different countries and has failed. The common currency, the dollar, could not make United States homogenous.
[31] I do not worry for Russia because it is a Christian Orthodox nation, but I worry a lot for the EU because from Christendom became Eurostan. See, http://www.saintspeterandpaulscranton.com/
