The Italiote Reality
The Hellenic identity of Southern Italy is one that most Southern Italians or ‘ethnic Italiotes’ fail to embrace or realize. In recent times some ethnic Italiotes have begun to advance the concept of a Southern Italian identity, however, they have failed to capitalize on their Hellenic origins. These Hellenes, italianized or not, can not be past over solely because they are no longer Hellenic speaking or Orthodox Christian in faith. To deny them their own place inside Hellenism against all the cultural and historical connections between Southern Italy and Hellas, would be a crime against Hellenism. The region, whose true name is ‘Magna Graecia’ or ‘Megali Ellada’, has been an important part of Hellenic civilization since the eighth century BC.
In Antiquity, Italiotes partook in all aspects of the ancient Hellenic Civilization, with representatives from their many city-states participating in the Pan-Hellenic Olympic Games. These rich and powerful Italiote cities would rule the countryside, most important where such places as Neapolis (Naples), Syracuse, Capua, Acragas, Tarentum, Croton, Elea, and Bari. Until the rise of the Roman Empire, Magna Graecia was nothing more then an extension of the cities states of Central and Southern Hellas.
During the middle Ages, Magna Graecia became a favorite destination for Byzantine Christian Hellenes fleeing the east, whether during the Gothic War or the fall of Constantinople. As the Western Roman Empire fell and was divided between Barbarian tribes, part of Magna Graecia maintained its allegiance to Constantinople and Christian Hellenism. This Eastern Roman province known as the Catepanate of Italy was ruled by a local governor, with his residence in Bari, an ancient Hellenic city from antiquity. Unfortunately this small hope for Hellenism in Italy would disappear and be replaced by the Kingdom of Two Sicilies, which would help begin the ‘italianization’ of the region. Although not a Hellenic kingdom, it did maintain a sense of southern Italian identity across the ancient region of Magna Graecia, even if it wasn’t Hellenistic in orientation.
It has been the legacy of this Kingdom of Two Sicilies that has been able to maintain a southern Italian identity even against the wishes of today’s central government in Rome. However, if Southern Italy is to truly find itself again and become a free and independent nation, it must embrace its Italiote identity. An identity that can not be denied any longer, with plenty of evidence proving the Ancient Hellenic character of most Southern Italians and Sicilians. Researchers have found using autosomal DNA a strong affinity between Southern Italians and Hellenes. Ethnic Italiotes must de-Italianize themselves so that they may taste true freedom once more. This can and will only happen once Italianized Italiotes reawaken their Hellenic roots and identity and rejoin Hellenism as equals and defenders of Western Hellenism or specifically Italiote Hellenism.

Hellenic Left: Nothing more then Franco-Germanic Tools
No migrant child left behind
By KATHY TZILIVAKIS
EU Commissioner Jacque Barrot calls on Greece to amend legislation that deprives children of undocumented immigrants the chance to apply for the European Union-wide long-term resident status
Read Full Article Here
As the European Union attempts to enforce its fascist laws upon the Hellenic people, when dealing with our current illegal immigration situation, it has been the Hellenic Left that has been aiding the Franco-Germanic EU in destroying the Hellenic nation. Recently the EU has been threatening legal action against Hellas for not allowing undocumented immigrant children from applying for long-term resident status.
It was Dimitris Papadimoulis of the Left Coalition Synaspismos, who informed the EU of the current problem. At the moment, George Papandreou of PASOK and Alexis Tsipras of Syriza both maintain support of the EU’s position, which hopes to turn the streets of Hellas into a Third World haven. This position chosen by the Hellenic Left is in my opinion treasonous and a direct threat to the very survival of the Hellenic people. To support non-Hellenes, who are attempting to force our sovereign nation to allow ILLEGAL UNDOCUMENTED MINORS to do anything within our nation is not what our elected officials should be doing. In what way are these Left wing politicians aiding the HELLENIC people by allowing these individuals to stay inside our country? A country that is unable to employ and provide for its own people, yet we must do this for ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS? We must turn the streets of Athens and Thessaloniki into ghettos, de-Hellenizing our homeland to help these ILLEGAL immigrants settle into life inside our country, while the corrupt governments of their own countries reap the benefits of our demise? I SAY NO! The only way to HELP ILLEGAL UNDOCUMENTED immigrants is to fight the corruption within their own Third World countries and provide them opportunities within their OWN country, so they are not forced to migrate anywhere.

Greece's jobless youths fight back
By Barnaby Phillips in Athens
Monday, February 16, 2009
19:50 Mecca time, 16:50 GMT
Europeans who worry that growing unemployment will lead to social unrest in the months ahead have a familiar mantra these days: "look at what just happened in Greece, that could be a foretaste of what we can all expect in 2009".
Read Full Article Here
According to the EU, Hellas holds a 7.5% unemployment rating as recently as late 2008. What I wonder is how can a nation that is doing better during this global economic crisis then other EU countries be suffering from street violence and protests? What many fail to state is that roughly 20% of Hellenes under 25 are unemployed. The next generation of educated and bright minded Hellenes are suffering from the system so many of us love to defend. A system that has failed the next generation, and it is up to these young Hellenes to break and rebuild that system. To do away with the waring political clans of Papandreou and Karamanlis. To create a truly Hellenic political ideology, rather then borrowing foreign ones like Socialism. To rebuild the system as we deem fit for our own benefit and for the benefit of Hellenism.

...Boris Tadic, the Serbian president, said on Monday that Kosovo was far from independent and suffered organised crime and human rights abuses.

Divisions persist one year after Kosovo independence
A year after the Illegal declaration of Kosovo's 'independence' not much has changed for the terrorist haven. Only 54 nations across the global recognize its 'independence' and organized crime is still running wild across the region. During this years first 'celebration of Kosovo independence' I proudly say Kosovo still is, was, and will always be Serbian. Do not give up hope my Serbian brothers, but rather reflect on the decisions you have made over the past year. Adapt and alter, where necessary, your policies so that one day soon Kosovo will be liberated

Σμύρνη - 2500 χρόνια Ελλάδα
"Η Σμύρνη μας πρίν τό 1922. Η Σμύρνη ήταν μία μεγαλούπολη πολύ πιό πλούσια καί ανώτερη από τήν Αθήνα. Ποτέ δεν θα ξεχάσουμε τά κατακτημένα από τόν ξένο εισβολέα εδάφη μας. Ποτέ δέν θά ξεχάσουμε τούς νεκρούς μας από τήν άλλη άκρη του Αιγαίου, επειδή τό θέλουν οι προδότες της πολιτικής, της δημοσιογραφίας καί της Αριστεράς."
