People generally wish to associate with those who are like them, period. This is human nature, heck it's just nature. You don't see 'multicultural' communities of animals for a reason- wolves sheep and crocodiles do not form communities. The only people who constantly push for multiculturalism and unchecked immigration, are the capitalist merchants who have something to gain from sending jobs overseas, or from having a cheap pool of immigrant labor at home. Once again the merchants ruin everything in their greed.

Rise of Golden Dawn Terrifies Globalists

It seems certain at this point that Golden Dawn will enter Parliament

By Pete Papaherakles

Golden Dawn, Greece’s most-recognized populist political party has the establishment shaking in their pants in fear of a huge victory in the upcoming May 6 elections. Their fast-rising popularity due to a strong patriotic message along with crippling economic woes and massive illegal immigration, has seen the party that was only a grass roots nationalist movement with only a 0.29% showing in the 2009 election explode to 5.5% in official polls; just four months ago they were only at 1.5%. Many feel that their real numbers are much higher.

Although the preferred strategy by the media had been to completely ignore them, their popularity is growing so rapidly that the current plan is to constantly defame and slander them in order to scare the masses from joining their ranks. As is done throughout Europe and the West in general, nationalist groups are routinely portrayed as fascists, nαzιs and hooligans. The ultimate big gun of defamation is to compare the party leader to Adolph Hitler. Browbeaten since WW II with horror stories of a monstrous Hitler and his alleged “h0Ɩ0cαųst” of the Jєωs, the people are conditioned into a Pavlovian knee-jerk reaction of repulsion to anyone portrayed as a nαzι.

The roughly two million illegal aliens that entered Greece over the past two decades, mostly in the last five years, are portrayed by the media as innocent refugees, although Greece’s crime rate, once one of the lowest in the world, has skyrocketed in recent years exclusively due to illegal immigration. Golden Dawn’s support of the victimized Greeks and their insistence that the borders be closed and illegals deported has been portrayed as fascist and cruel by the mainstream media even as Greece’s 22% unemployment rate is twice the Eurozone average and bare survival is becoming impossible for Greeks. In fact, Golden Dawn alone has provided food and assistance to the neediest Greeks, completely at their own expense.

Even though Golden Dawn’s policies strictly prohibit violence and seek only political solutions to these problems, they are consistently portrayed as violent thugs and are routinely provoked into situations of self-defense by agents provocateurs in order to incriminate them as nαzι thugs in the mainstream media.

Not only are the Greek media and rival political parties pursuing this mudslinging, but as Golden Dawn’s popularity is surging, the international media is joining in this smear. Recently, both The New York Times and Bloomberg News have written derogatory articles about them with constant references to Hitler and “goose-stepping nαzιs.” Their ancient Greek symbol of the meander design has been called a “disentangled swastika” by Bloomberg. The leader of Golden Dawn, Nikos Michaloliakos has been accused of being a nαzι for giving a raised arm salute in the Athenian Council in protest to being called a fascist by an adversary. That image has been played over and over again in the mainstream media.

On May 1st, in an exclusive AMERICAN FREE PRESS interview with Michaloliakos, this writer asked him about the allegations of nαzι salutes and swastika flags.

“First of all we don’t have any official salute of any sort. The so-called Heil Hitler! salute did not originate with the nαzιs anyway. The Romans used it and the ancient Greeks used it before them. The same applies to our flag. Those that see a swastika on our flags need to have their eyes checked because what we have is the traditional Greek key design which everyone recognizes as Greek and is on so many ancient Greek artifacts. The swastika, by the way, also did not originate with the nαzιs and is again found on many ancient Greek designs as well as Egyptian, Hindu and even Chinese. It was a symbol of the life force that emanated from the Sun. All this is an attempt to scare people with nαzι ghosts.”

Michaloliakos is optimistic about the upcoming elections. Asked to predict what type of a vote share Golden Dawn will get, he replied, ” I feel pretty confident that although the polls give us 5 ½%, we will get at least 8%.”

In Greece’s Parliamentary system it is not winner takes all as it is in the U.S. two-party system. Once a candidate reaches 3% of the vote, the minimum needed to enter Parliament, they are awarded their percentage share of the 300 Parliament seats.

“If we get 8% of the vote, we will have about twenty Golden Dawn members in Parliament,” said Michaloliakos.

That is a huge victory considering that they have never had a single representative there before. Also, unlike the U.S. two-party system, there are currently 16 parties competing in the Greek election. Half will probably enter Parliament with the top ones forming a ruling coalition but all of them having some influence.

What issues will Golden Dawn promote?

“Our main priorities are to expel all illegal immigrants, to repudiate the illegal debt and to massively increase productivity in order to get the Greek economy moving again. Also, we need to restore our national values and bring back justice. Criminals have to be punished.”

Interestingly, Michaloliakos did not feel that exiting the Eurozone and returning to the drachma was the right move at this time.

“First we need to increase productivity and then we can talk about returning to the drachma” he said. “Without a productive economy it would be a mistake to return to the drachma.”

One thing is certain. Golden Dawn will be in the Parliament and it will be a strong force for nationalist Greek interests as opposed to internationalist banking interests.

Golden Dawn's website has been taken down and the wikipedia article is useless.  What is Golden Dawn's economic platform?  What do they mean by a massive increase in productivity in order to get the Greek economy moving again?  

Jєωs go through two phases of advocacy in politics: first democracy, then the dictatorship of the proletariat.

This is true alaric that a lot of far-right parties won but remember also that in other European countries a lot of far-left parties won. Interestingly enough though both the far-left and far-right parties that did win were against the EU.

Don't forget the fact that far-left parties have won in the U.S. as well. The GOP is hardly "right-wing" these days and most Democrats are straight up Marxists, the battle for the soul of America is not that far away as well.

Americans just aren't as desperate as the Greeks yet, but believe me, that time is coming.

But things are moving quickly in Europe, the "socialists" days are numbered.

That's pretty much how it looks, but the mainstream financial press is worried about European elections.  To them the choice seems to be, either accept the austerity measures or borrow lots of money to fund state benefits a little while longer.  I don't know why they are boxed into these two choice, but neither seems like a very good option, in the long run, to me.  Although, it seems like the same two choices we get here in America.  So, I wondered if Golden Dawn had another way of approaching this problem, or if they were just sort of going with the flow on that part.  From his speech, it sounds like he wants to do something different.  But, I'd like to know what???  Because, isn't a little country like Greece trapped in this global economy too.  Anyway, I like his speech, it's the first I've heard of these guys (i hate reading, "current events") .  How anybody could hate this guy and what he's saying, to me seems crazy.  I like him!
