Honoring the Greek Victims of Communism in Washington DC
By Alex Aliferis
On April 23th, the Greek Victims of Communism wreath was
honored in a roll call of nations by the Victims of Communism Memorial
Foundation in Washington D.C.
Multiple ethnic associations and foreign embassies
participated in the event.
The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation started the
tradition to honor victims of Communism. It seeks to educate others the evils
of Marxist Communist ideology. Communism led to the deaths of 100 million
people worldwide from Russia, Greece, Cuba, China, Ethiopia, etc.
The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation (VOC) is an
educational, research, and human rights nonprofit organization devoted to
commemorating the more than 100 million victims of communism around the world
and to pursuing the freedom of those still living under totalitarian regimes.
The Foundation was authorized in 1993 by a unanimous Act of
Congress signed as Public Law 103-199 by President William J. Clinton on
December 17, 1993. On June 12, 2007, President George W. Bush dedicated the
Victims of Communism Memorial statue in Washington, D.C.
Recently, the Victims of Communism Museum is open to the
public in Washington D.C.. Where is our Greek academics to create a Greek
section in that museum?
They give the Truman-Reagan award to a specific person who
contributed to fighting Communism.
Not a single Greek Embassy official has shown up. Why is
this bad for Greece? Outside Greek American circles, Greece is viewed as a
hardcore Marxist nation with active Communist/far left anarchy groups.
In 2017, the Estonian government led a conference on
Communist crimes. Estonia invited Greece. Yet, Greece refused to go. Why? In
2017, Ex-Greek Justice Minister Stavros Kontonis’ refusal to attend a
conference on Communist crimes. For his criticism of the event, it sent off a
strong rebuke by the Estonian government. Kontonis was a member of the Greek
Communist Party. The Greek Communist left (PASOK, KKE, and SYRIZA) does not
represent GREECE or the Greek diaspora!
It is odd how the same Greek Communists have fat bank
accounts, BMWs, and villas in Greece while falsely espousing old Soviet Union
themed rhetoric of the 1940s.
Whoever wrote Greek history of the 1940s is wrong about the
Greek Civil War. It was a Communist insurgency from 1941-1949 supported by
outside Communist forces. Who supplied weapons to ELAM-ELAS? Yugoslav Communist
Dictator Joseph Tito gave weapons. Most of the Greeks did not support the
Communist Insurgents. Yes, there were Greeks who joined ELAM-ELAS only to find
out they were killing innocent Greek brothers and sisters for no reason. The
Greek Communists murdered over 100,000 Greeks if you include women, men,
children, priests, elderly, and patriotic Greek soldiers. The Greek Communists
looted and stole from hardworking Greek families. Bulgarians and Skopian Slavs
were part of ELAM-ELAS. The Communists created the fake Skopia nation in 1944
that stole the Greek history and identity of Greek Macedonia. Communist
propaganda flourishes in Skopje, FYROM. ELAM-ELAS burned Greek homes. The Greek
Communists kidnapped 28,000 Greek children. They sent the children to camps in
Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Romania, etc. The Greek Communist forced and
brainwashed kidnapped Greek children to become ELAM-ELAS soldiers. The Greek
Communists used child soldiers. Over a
million Greeks were displaced from their homes due to Communist aggression,
crimes, and battles with the Greek Army. I am sure they repented their sins in
later life. Many Greek Communists found how difficult life was in the Soviet Union
and went back to FREE MARKET CAPITALISTIC SOCIETY.
I had eleven relatives murdered by Greek Communists in 1944.
Ten of them were murdered at the Meligalas pigada(well). There is a large
memorial with 1500 graves and the names of Greeks murdered in Meligalas,
Greece. Who talks about the murders committed by Greek Communists who wanted
Greece to be like Communist North Korea? The Federation of Greek Communities in
Russia erected a monument (2012) to remember the 38,000 Greeks rounded up and
sent to their death at Siberian Gulag death labor camps by Soviet Communist
leader Josef Tito in the 1930s. I recommend everyone read the Black Book of
Communism by Stephane Courtois, Alexsander Solzhenitsyn’s Gulag Archipalago,
etc. The Abducted Greek Children of the Communists/Paidomazoma by Dr. Niki
Karavasilis is a must read. Also, the book called Calvary of Meligalas by Tasos
Antonopoulos tells it all about Meligalas. Antonopoulos was in Meligalas and
witnessed it. He interviewed survivors. What about the Greeks of Northern
Epirus under Communist Albanian oppression? I heard stories how Communist
Albanians took lands, shut down churches, and imprisoned/killed Greeks.
Nicholas Gage’s book named Eleni inspired a movie made about how Communists
killed his mother.
The Communists created fake nations and identities like
Skopia (FYROM), Ukraine, Moldova and Belorussia. Romanians are demanding
annexation of Moldova back to Romania. Belorussia and Ukraine is pure ethnic
Russian lands which will unify with Mother Russia. Skopia/FYROM Slavs are
Bulgarians. The Soviet Communists separated Armenian Karabakh and gave it to
Azeri Turks. Communist Lenin supplied weapons to Ataturk in 1919-1923 to mass
murder Greeks across Asia Minor.
It is odd to find the elder Greek who boasts how he is
Communist or was an ELAM-ELAS fighter/supporter while he owns a house, has a
fat bank account, pension, business, and investments and lives in a free
society like the USA or Greece.
I thought good Greek Communists/Marxists/Socialists would have
immigrated to China, Vietnam, Laos, Cuba, Venezuela, or North Korea? I still
hear a few old timer Marxist Greek immigrants talk about Marxism. I question
them if Marxism is great and Capitalism is bad, why did you immigrate to the
USA? They shut their mouths.
Across Greece, there are many memorials of murdered Greek
citizens by Greek Communists of the 1940s. The Greek government until 1974 held
official memorials. Once hardcore Greek Marxists like PASOK, SYRIZA, ND ruled
Greece, there are no memorials. Citizens and priests still hold memorials
throughout Greece to honor Greek victims of Communism.
The governments of Poland, Hungary, Estonia, and Czech
funded a Victims of Communism Museum in Washington DC together with the Victims
of Communism Memorial Foundation to remember and educate Americans about
Communism. One can visit in person the museum(https://vocmuseum.org/). Tickets
are $10.00 each. The museum is located at 900 15th Street NW, Washington, D.C.
20005.
I find it sick how young teenagers wear T-shirts with the
hammer/Sickle or Che Guevara. Do they know the 100 million people killed by
Communists in Russia, Greece, China, Cambodia, Cuba, Eastern Europe, Vietnam,
etc.? Our academia in the USA and Greece are brainwashed Communists/Marxists/Globalists.
US and Greek Professors are brainwashing thousands of young adults that Karl
Marx was the greatest man. They require students to read Marxist authors.
Did you know Karl Marx gave birth to Socialism, Communism,
Fascism, and Nazism? Who funded Karl Marx? Who funded the Communists and Nazis?
The same Globalist Elites and Bankers who are trying to turn people into modern
day slaves. The National Socialist Workers Party (NAZI) was Marxists. Mussolini
was an Italian Socialist/Marxist. Vladimir Lenin adhered to Karl Marx and was
funded with gold/free passage from the German industrial elites, Bankers in
London/New York City and German Kaiser worked together to destroy Russia. The
Jacob Schiff Wall Street Bankers funded with millions in the early 1910s to the
Communists in Russia. Leon Trotsky was in New York City in 1917. Adolf Hitler
hated Christianity and was an atheist who adhered to Karl Marx. The same banker
elite funded Hitler. Hitler was no Christian, and he took away German citizen’s
right to own firearms. He confiscated German civilian arms. Why? The Globalist
banker/corporate elites funded Marxist movements to destroy freedom and enslave
free people.
Anthony C Sutton’s republished ‘The Wall Street Trilogy’
describes with State Department documents how Leon Trotsky was in New York City
in 1917. Documents show how Wall Street funded Trotsky. President Wilson gave
Trotsky a US passport to travel to Russia to start the Bolshevik Revolution. In
the first volume, it describes Wall Street’s funding for the Bolshevik
Revolution in 1917. Globalist elites funded Karl Marx. Sutton authored these
books in the 1974, 1975, and 1976. The German Kaiser gave millions in gold to
Lenin and free passage via Germany from Switzerland to Russia, in 1917.
In the February 3, 1949, issue of the New York Journal
American Schiff’s grandson, John, was quoted by columnist Cholly Knickerbocker
as saying that his grandfather had given about $20 million for the triumph of
Communism in Russia.
President Truman formed the Truman Doctrine in 1947 to give
military aid to the Greek Army to defeat the Greek Communist insurgency. In the
1940s, Greek American organizations supported the Truman Doctrine to assist
Greece defeat Communism.
Wasn’t Greece the first nation to defeat a Nazi ally like
Italy in 1941? Wasn’t Greece the first nation to defeat the Communists with the
assistance of the Truman Doctrine of 1947? Where are Greek donors to fund an
exhibit at the DC museum about the damage done to Greece by Greek Communist
insurgents?
Where are the Representatives of major Greek American
organizations each year at the Victims of Communism Memorial Event in
Washington DC?
Where is the Greek Ambassador to US or his Deputies at the
event each year?
The ethnic Greek people suffered death and slavery under the
Muslim Turks, Nazi Germans, and Greek Communists.
We in the diaspora will remember and honor the Greek Victims
of Communism.
