Every year on this day I remember. And I will never forget. I was then helping Professor Dimitris Tsatsos with support for the case of Pavlos Bakoyannis in the Electoral Court. The phone rang. I saw him lose his color and tell me: "Pavlos has been murdered." 37 years later, (translated)

To understand how confused we are regarding the historical events of the Middle East, take a look at this. In 1945, the Arab League called for a boycott of "Palestinian products," but by the term Palestinian, they meant the Jewish industrialists and merchants living there under British mandate. Over time, the Arabs of the region appropriated the term "Palestinian" exclusively for themselves to create the image that they were not just Arabs, meaning later invaders in the region, but an ancient people with ancient rights, older than the Jews. Thus, they gained moral legitimacy to possess the land of the Jews as "older ones." They were always Arabs, meaning conquerors in the ancestral land of the Jews of the Old Testament. Every time you hear the slogan "from the river to the sea," meaning the disappearance of the State of @IsraelinGreece from the map, remember that we actually have an attempt here to deny an ancient people (the Jews) their historical rights to the land from which they originate, meaning their historical homeland. We Greeks know a bit about this, having lost many of our historical lands, but fortunately not our historical homeland. "The New York Times on December 4, 1945, page 9, published an article titled 'ARABS TO BOYCOTT PALESTINIAN GOODS' with the subtitle 'Vote Action Against Jewish Industry, Charging Tie With Zionism and Political Aims.' The article stated from Cairo that the Arab League decided to boycott products produced by Jewish businesses in the then British Mandate of Palestine, starting January 1, 1946." (translated)

"No area remains that has not been searched on the ship. Extensive searches have not revealed any other bodies inside the ship. The body found last week was also recovered under extremely difficult conditions. However, our search is not over. We continue our efforts in the air, on land, and at sea to find any corpses that may be found underwater or on the surface." Every part of the sunken ship has been searched and no other bodies were found inside, announced the "Prime Minister," Unal Ustel today, after renewing the detention order for the 9 suspects of the August 30 shipwreck, provoking the reaction of relatives of the missing and victims who are seeking justice.

In 2002, as a student, I worked for a while at the reception of one of the biggest clubs of the time. Next door was the Echo Dome, it was one of those times when the night had a different intensity. That night at the Echo Dome, George Mazonakis was singing. I remember people waiting from early on. Sharp suits, sparkling dresses, And in all that brightness, there was one person that almost no one noticed. He was a quiet man. One of those who do their job, don't bother anyone, and at the end of the night leave without almost anyone remembering them. That night, however, something was weighing on him. He stood alone at the back of the bar, in a dimly lit spot near the drinks storage. He wasn't smiling. At some point, I saw him wiping his eyes. I didn't ask. In the nightlife, you learn not to always ask. When later I approached him as discreetly as I could, he simply told me: -"Just leave me here for a bit... I’m not in the mood for much. Sorry." I didn't insist. Later, from the development of the story, I realized that his daughter, who lived far away, wasn't answering his calls. There had been an ugly argument between them, and she, angry, didn’t pick up the phone. And this had shattered him. Not just because he missed her. But because he couldn't be there next to her, to look her in the eyes, maybe to apologize, to talk, to make amends. It is that strange guilt that a parent feels when their child is hurting, is upset with them, and is hundreds of kilometers away losing the chance for face-to-face explanations and to resolve any misunderstandings... Just before he took the stage for his program, Mazonakis passed by him. I don't know if someone had told him or if he simply noticed him as he walked by. I suppose the latter. I was about four or five meters away. Close enough, however, to hear their conversation. He passed by him. He stopped. He looked at him. -"Everything okay?". -"Good", George. An answer we all know means exactly the opposite. Mazonakis didn't walk past him. He sat next to him. And then the man broke down. Amid the tears, he spoke to him about his daughter. About the phone. About the unanswered calls. About that silence that, when it comes from a person you love, can feel heavier than a long conversation filled with shouts and tensions... Mazonakis listened to him. He didn't give him advice. He didn't say the typical “don't worry, everything will be okay”. He simply listened. At some point, he stood up. -"Give me her phone number." He called her from his personal phone. I remember exactly what he said: -"Hey, this is George Mazonakis. I don't know you. But next to me is a very sweet man. Your dad. And when you see him and you meet, please, give him a hug and do it for me." He hung up the phone. He shook the man's hand, gave him a friendly pat on the back, winked at him, and returned to the stage for the final rehearsals. A little later, he performed his show. He sang in front of hundreds of people. They applauded him, they cheered for him, they shouted his name. But at that moment, he didn’t act like some conceited, blasé “star” of bad times, one of those who usually pretends to be a big deal while building their supposed myth. He was simply a man who saw another person in pain and stood by him. Even for those three or four minutes that the scene lasted. And perhaps that is ultimately true greatness. Not to be applauded and adored by the many. But to be able, amidst a night full of lights, to notice the one person standing alone in the dark. To stand by him. To listen to him. To give him, even for a few minutes, the feeling that he is not alone. At the moment when everyone is looking at you, you look at someone else. And in the end, perhaps that’s what was missing even for him: someone to look into his darkness. (translated)

The @MegaTvOfficial is a very large, perhaps the largest, journalistic group in the country. Since yesterday, due to this dialogue of mine with @jordanxas and @anthi83, they have properly decorated me in their news bulletins, on their social media, in their newspapers, on their radio, etc. Their right, no issue, we have democracy, everything is fine. However, my voice, without all these huge weapons, has been heard here and I believe it is loud for all of you. Firstly, you can listen to the entire show here: https://t.co/HWNtpDSDgR However, in this video I am on the phone and my voice is low, so I start to shout, wrongfully, I would like to calmly write my argument here and each of you can judge it. So they ask me quite aggressively and accuse me "that I am responsible for various quacks acting unchecked and therefore I did not do my job well, etc." Then I particularly remember Ms. Voulgari but also generally Mega, which for a series of shows and for a number of years promoted in every possible way @mkaristianou, who, however, is no longer to their liking, and they even ask me when we will check her for "quantum medicine". That's when the tone starts to rise, they didn't like my argument and Mrs. Voulgari starts the attack "And you advertised tiny jackets two years ago…." (It was ten years ago, but back then @NewsItFeed, part of the Mega Journalistic Group today, also advertised them but this is rather a trivial detail...)… and then I reminded them how long, not only Mega to be fair but mainly Mega, constantly invited some quack experts who tried to convince, and had convinced 80% of our fellow citizens, that in the commercial train in the tragedy in Temps there was illegal cargo of plywood and therefore the government tampered with the area to cover up the smuggling, etc. Why did I want to say this? As if they were shocked. And yet, I said something false, weren't they quacks? But they were not allowed to testify in court because they did not meet the expert's qualifications. Today we know not only that plywood never existed but that it is most likely that most knew it from the beginning. So, the mega that judges everyone and everything has it ever apologized to its viewers for misinformation? Did I say something unreasonable? If we are bothered by quacks, shouldn't we be bothered everywhere? Or only where it suits us? In short, in my opinion, the saying "He who is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone at her" applies here... Now, my dear friends at Mega, you can continue to accuse me as much as you want, but let the world know the other viewpoint and judge. P.S. Since this morning they are playing the video from my visit to this clinic in the South. But they haven't read the clinic's announcement nor the announcement specifically for Mega. This isn't very correct either... (translated)

The tears and emotions are beautiful, but I hold on to this. Everyone criticized Ataman because among other things he "gave" his players, but no one cared about the opinion of the players themselves. Remember that the war against Ataman NEVER concerned basketball. (translated)

KOSTAS TJIMAS ON FB: "In every poll, Mitsotakis 'catches' half to one unit, despite being the only politician of the post-colonial era who has been called a murderer, embezzler, smuggler, corrupt, sold out. Furthermore, that he set... MARFIN on fire and that he is Dora's child. He is primarily blamed for his superiority and secondarily for the upcoming self-sufficiency with a shameful difference from the fighters of the 2nd place! Probably his critics do not know the saying of the father of victory, the terrible Churchill, who said: 'I have benefited greatly from criticism. I do not remember a single day in my life when I lacked it.'" (translated)
