1.Recorded history refers to an ancient kingdom of
Macedonia beginning in the 7th century B.C.E.
2.The name "Macedonia" was given by its people and in
Greek it means "Highland."
3.Many ancient sources -- historians, the Bible, the
Torah, geographers, etc. -- refer to Macedonia as a Greek
kingdom. It is also mentioned by Homer and by the
historian-geographer Strabo who states: "Macedonia is
Greece as well."
4.The Talmud, in relating the friendly meeting between
Alexander the Great and the High Priest Simon the Just, on
the formers entry into Jerusalem in 333 B.C.E., refers to
him as HaMocdon Meleh Yavan -- Alexander of Macedon, king of
Greece.
5.The Roman writer Livy, referring to an assembly of
Greeks in Aetolia in 200 B.C.E.: "Aetolians, Acarnanians,
Macedonians, people of the same language" (XXXI, 29, 15)
6.Over 5000 excavated relics of the ancient Macedonian
kingdom carry only Greek inscriptions.
7.The ancient Macedonians participated in the Olympic
games, and only Greeks could do that. They believed in the
same Gods as the rest of the Greeks. Their kingdom's coins
carried Greek inscriptions only. The palace floor in the
ancient Macedonian capital of Pella depicts Greek deities
and Greek mythological figures with Greek language
inscriptions.
8.Mt. Olympus, home of the Greek Gods, was located in
Macedonia. At the foot of the mountain, excavations
unearthed the ancient Macedonian burial grounds with Greek
inscriptions.
9.The ancient Greeks were the only people to build
theaters. Four were already found in Macedonia where plays
were performed in Greek.
10.Apostle Paul refers to the Greeks receiving him when
he visited Macedonia. He was preaching in Greek and his
epistles were written in Greek, the language of the
inhabitants.
11.Alexander the Great, king of Macedonia and leader of
the united Greek city-states, disseminated Greek
culture and civilization during his campaign against the
Persian Empire as well as in Europe, Africa, and other Asian
areas.
12.There was never a "Macedonian" language just as there
never was an "Athenian," "Epirotic," "Spartan," "Theban,"
Boeotian," etc. All city-states and kingdoms of Greece
spoke the same language with various dialects. Present-day
Bulgaria -- an idiom of the Bulgarian language is spoken by
the pseudo-Macedonians -- recognizes neither a Macedonian
language nor a Macedonian ethnicity. Most of the
present-day Slavs in the country of the Former Yugoslav
Republic of Macedonia are of Bulgarian descent.
13.Pope John Paul: "Macedonia is the birthplace of
Philip, Alexander, Methodius, and Cyril. Macedonia is
Greek."
14.The Cyrillic alphabet, which the Skopjeans use, has
thirty-six letters. Twenty-four of them are the twenty-four
letters of the Greek alphabet.
15.The first grammar textbook of the so-called
Macedonian language was published in 1952, the first
philological dictionary in 1961, and the History of the
Macedonian Nation in 1969. The kingdom of Serbia, later of
the Croats, Slovenes, and Serbs, gained its independence
from the Ottoman Empire one hundred years earlier.
16.Demosthenes, the Athenian orator and a fanatic super
patriot, never called the Macedonians "barbarians" -- only
their king Philip -- and that because he could not stomach
the passing of Greek supremacy from Athens to Macedonia.
His Athenian orator rival, Isocrates, sent a letter to King
Philip exhorting and imploring him to unite all Greeks and,
seeking vengeance, to lead them against Persia, their common
enemy.
17.Ilinden, the site of an insurrection of supposedly
all races residing in the geographic area of ancient
Macedonia against the Ottoman Empire, was planned and
instigated by the Bulgarian Government whose dream it was to
annex all of it and gain access to the Aegean Sea.
Categorical evidence of this is found in the many existing
reports of European ambassadors and counsels that were
dispatched to their respective Foreign Ministries. The
pseudo-Macedonians appropriated this unsuccessful event of
Ilinden -- most of the victims were Greek -- from the
Bulgarians and present it as their own heroic attempt to
gain "freedom for Macedonia."
18.There never existed a country called "Macedonia"
since the destruction of the ancient kingdom by the Romans
in 168 B.C.E. Any reference to a division of "Macedonia"
between Greece, Serbia, and Bulgaria is a false and
ludicrous statement. The geographical area of Macedonia
from the advent of the Slavs in the 6th century
A.D. (C.E.) until the First Balkan War of 1912 -- a period
of 1500 years -- was populated by Greeks, Serbs, Bulgarians,
Albanians, Jews and gypsies and since the 14th
century A.D. (C.E.) by Turks as well. No census of Roman,
Byzantine or Ottoman Empires refers to any "Macedonians."
Hence, what "Macedonia" was divided up?
19.Before it became Yugoslavia, the country was called
"Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes." No mention of
Macedonians.
20.Only the southern part of F.Y.R.O.M. corresponds to
the upper border of the ancient Macedonian kingdom.
21.In his book I Was Sent To Athens, the American
diplomat Morgenthau, Chairman of the League of Nations
Population Exchanges Commission, wrote that after the
departure of the Turks and Bulgarians from Macedonia,
"Macedonia was a purely Greek region."
22.Lord Salisbury, head of the English delegation of the
Treaty of Berlin in 1878: "Macedonia and Thrace are as
Greek as Crete is."
23.In the Turk Hilmi Pasha's population census of 1905,
Macedonian region, only Albanians, Turks, Serbs, Bulgarians,
Greeks, and Jews were recorded. No Macedonians, not even
one.
24.In the 1912 Ottoman parliamentary elections, which
allowed for minorities representation, there were Arab,
Albanian, Greek, Armenian, Jewish and Bulgarian elects. No
Macedonian! No such a minority existed.
25.During the first Balkan War of 1912, after Greece
liberated Thessaloniki, it established a "Governorate
General of Macedonia." No one reacted against it.
26.No known historic record refers to any total
extinction or genocide perpetrated upon the ancient
Macedonian people. What of their descendants? Surely they
are not Slavs. What of their rights to their identity and
heritage? Are they no longer "Macedonian?"
27.In Tito's communist Yugoslavia, its Communist Party
-- atheists to the core -- established the "Macedonian
Orthodox Church" in 1968. HUH?
28.Prior to being baptized "Macedonia" by the communists
Tito and Stalin, the southern Yugoslav region was named and
known as "Vardarska Banovinja." No matter what the name of
northern Greece, that's exactly what the new name for "Vardarska
Banovinja" would have been (Macedonia). After all, the goal
was to annex northern Greece and gain access to the Aegean
Sea.
29.Finally, I place the following challenge to one
and all of the concocted "Macedonian" ethnicity: If you
ever come across an authentic, legitimate relic or find of
the ancient Macedonian kingdom with an inscription other
than in the Greek language, you shall have achieved the
discovery of all times. You need not despair, however.
There is no time limit!
YOU HAVE UNTIL THE COLLAPSE OF OUR SOLAR SYSTEM!
