Learning Tactics and Strategies from the Strongest Lobby of the World
Published by nikos | Filed under Opinions
If I had to compare all the lobbies in Washington D.C, one would stand out, that being the Jewish lobby. The Jewish lobby is the strongest and best organized and for this reason it has achieved the most for its mother country, that of the state of Israel. A small community of Jewish Americans estimated to number about 6 million in North America have proven worthy in projecting their cultural history, identity and homeland issues into the Washington D.C power elites. Additionally, they have been able to ensure that Israel is the recipient of billions of dollars of US military aid annually. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s official. The Europeans have lost it completely concerning the sovereign debt crisis and what to do about it. Herr Schäuble, in charge of the EU kommandantur, is now hinting that the agreement about a second Greek bailout, reached on July 21st, may not go ahead as planned. Greece is already being put through the hoop by the creditors over the first bailout, agreed in 2010, since the Papandreou regime has disastrously failed in everything it promised to do, while the country is disintegrating thanks to a catastrophic depression caused directly by the Troika-imposed insane austerity that turned, not unexpectedly, into a poisoned chalice which is killing millions of Greek families.

After a lull of a couple of months, Greece is again in the sights of the northern (or German) EU bloc, with Greece’s “saviors” throwing out open threats of cutting bailout aid immediately if the Papandreou regime does not act instantly to further strangle the Greek economy into extinction as agreed so many times before.
Social Media and Diaspora
Published by ioannis | Filed under Opinions
Social Media remains a hot topic nowadays. It is expanding exponentially, connecting more and more people together from all over the world. Its power to unite has the potential to bring radical changes to the current climate of economic despair facing Greece by drawing together the Greeks of Diaspora as a powerful force.
Greek Diaspora and Political System in Greece –from 1974 to the present – a perspective of concern and hope
Published by Spartan | Filed under Opinions
Since the summer of 1974 and especially from the mid 80’s the Greek political system has “ignored” the needs and concerns of the Greek Diaspora.
It is also clear that the so called Greek lobby organizations have failed to produce any measurable results promoting and winning for the Greek causes .They have thus failed in their most important mission which is to serve the interests of the Greek nation and influence decision makers in their respective countries.
