Information Campaign To Stop “UMD and her promoting false historical revisionism" , Now On Friday January 2nd

As you may know, the “United Macedonian Diaspora UMD” is a lobby for the irredentist and fascistic Skopje government, and it has mislead CardPartner Inc and CardPartner Visa affinity credit card program into misusing the Star of Vergina that belongs to Greece and is protected by the WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) .

We urge you all to mobilize your constituents to attend a national information campaign on January 02, 2009 at 12:00 noon to be held outside the offices of CardPartner, Inc., 37 West 20th St., New York, NY (Between 5th Ave. and 6th Ave)

It is imperative that we send a clear and powerful message to CardPartner Inc. and to all Americans,that we oppose the anti-Hellenic lobby “United Macedonian Diaspora UMD” and its cultural genocide program, its support for false historical revisioniosm, its support of the Skopje government’s threats to destroy the Hellenic people. and its attempts to cover up the Skopje government’s blatant abuse of human rights.

Below are the WIPO links that trademark the Vergina Sun as Greek Emblem

16 Star
12 Star
8 Star

The 16-pointed star "Sun of Vergina" as also named re-discovered in excavations as the symbol of the royal Macedonian dynasty of ancient Greece, and which is now being claimed as their own by the FYROM Slavmacedonians, was widely used in Attica during the classical period, long before its adoption by the Macedonian royal house.

The star, identical with the one decorating the larnax discovered in the tomb of Philip II of Macedonia, father of Alexander the Great, at Vergina in Northern Greece, has been found as one of the elements of decoration on at least four temples of the classical era, including two on the Acropolis of Athens.

The 16-ray star as it was designed on the golden larnaka that contained Philippos' remains. That appearance of the 16-ray star is possibly the only appearance on ancient findings.

Mr. William M. Sheedy,
We regret to inform you that there is no country with the name "Macedonia" as you mention in the list of the countries in your site.The exact UN acknowledged name is Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM). We are deeply disappointed with this misinformation and we expect you to correct this terrible mistake, which is a history forgery, the soonest.
Furthermore,I have been informed from http://stoptheantihelleniclobby.wordpress.com that your company in agreement with a FYROM lobby organization has prepared a card with the logo of “Star of Vergina” violating the Article 6ter of the Paris Convention concerning Protection of State Emblems, and Names, Abbreviations and Emblems of International Intergovernmental Organizations.Taking into consideration that this emblem belongs to Greece,I demand a written explication regarding this legal matter.

Regards

Regarding the Greek debt Crisis....

Greece, a peripheral european state was encouraged to join a badly designed single currency by the rich elite of countries that dominated it. Those countries, having set up borrowing rules for the currency union, were the first to break them and did so with impunity.

Through complacency and inept financial regulation, and lacking good investment opportunities in their own stuttering economies, they then encouraged their banks to lend recklessly to the country on the periphery.

When those investments went sour, the elite governments -influence from Germany- with theirs globalizing neoliberal leadeships, rushed to bail out their banks first by loading up the debtor government with yet more loans to pay them back and then by imposing a foreign overlord to extract repayments through legal force.

We need History Lectures based on FACTS not political motives!

In November 5-8 2009 at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City took place the so-called "7th Macedonian-North American Conference on Macedonian Studies".
Although a number of presenters strictly deal with subjects of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, there are politically motivated lectures that attack and disparage the people of Greece, the Greek Cultural identity and as they twist historical facts through their disturbing presentation.
These motivated lectures are influence under the umbrella of the Slavmacedonism [5], a post-modern ultra nationalist ideology.

Modern Macedonian question - What is it all about?

Ancient Macedonia was a Greek kingdom situated in the north end of Greece. It became the most powerful Greek state during the 4th century bc after the decline of Athina (Athens) and Sparta. Under the leadership of King Philippos II and his son Alexandros III (Alexander the Great) the Macedonian army conquered most of the world and created the world's largest empire ever, including South-East Europe, most of Asia and North Africa.
After the death of Alexandros, Macedonia followed the fate of the rest of Greece. It became a Roman province, later a Byzantine province, it was occupied by the Ottoman empire and finally it became part of the indepented Greek state in 1912.
Today a Slavic nation attempts to adopt the history and culture of Macedonia as their own and present themselves to the world as "ethnic Macedonians" and "descedants of ancient Macedonians"
This is a blatant attack against Greece and its world wide respected history.
The FYROM Slavs who claim to be "Macedonians" have no historical, cultural or linguistic relation with ancient Macedonia. They descended into the region not before the 6th cent. A.D. long after ancient Macedonia was homogenized with the rest of Greece. Their 'Republic of Macedonia' occupies less than 10% of ancient Macedonia.
Therefore their claim on ancient Macedonia's name, history, culture and symbols can not be justified.

Aegean Macedonia.........

is a FYROMacedonian Slav nationalist term used to refer to the region of Macedonia in Greece, in the context of a United Macedonia.
The origins of the term seem to be rooted in the 1940s but its modern usage is widely considered ambiguous and irredentist.
The term has occasionally appeared on maps circulated in the FYROM, which envisioned Greek Macedonia (referred to as "Aegean Macedonia") as part of a "Greater Macedonia", and is regarded as a challenge of of the legitimacy of Greek sovereignity over the area.
