A moving speech from Nikos Michaloliakos
at the commemorative ceremony for the Fall of Constantinople 29 May 1453
The leader of
Golden Dawn was the main speaker at this great event Remembering and Honouring
the final battle for the Royal City and its last defenders.
Nikos Michaloliakos
acknowledged the thousands of Hellenes who today, in a subservient nation,
don’t bow down but also honour those who were never subservient. He mentioned
the sad image that he encountered when he laid a wreath on behalf of Golden
Dawn at the memorial of the Unknown Soldier to honour the fallen of the 29th
of May 1453: there was only one other wreath laid from a cultural association.
There was
nothing from the political parties. No wreaths from any political or government
organisation of Hellas. Only Golden Dawn
honours those who gave their lives for Hellas.
Instead, we
have celebratory parades and festivities remembering the massacre of the
Hellenes in Turkey: total silence from the “Hellenic” state. Only Golden Dawn remembers those who fell
for the Fatherland, for our Faith and for Freedom!
Transcript of Speech
“Brothers and
sisters in arms, proud Hellenes, you’re here today to honour, from a betrayed
and subservient nation, those who did not surrender, the last defenders of the
Royal City, the City of our dreams: Constantinople. Some traitors call it
“Istanbul”! There is no “Istanbul”, there is Constantinople! Today and for all
time!
It’s the 29th
of May today and Golden Dawn for decades now, we were just a small group of
young people then but today we’re a Popular Movement that's sweeping the nation-
we were honouring at this statue the memory of Konstantinos Paleologos.
We requested
permission to lay a wreath at the memorial of the Unknown Soldier today and we were
allowed to, about an hour ago. We only saw a single wreath there, from some
local organisation. We didn’t see any wreath from any political party or any
political or government organisation! Shame!
29th
of May 1453 and the fall of the City shocked the entire world. However before I
refer to certain points of this thrilling and tragic story let’s remember that
when our nation started it’s revolution in 1821, there was a dialogue between The
Old Man of Moria – our liberator Theodoros Kolokotronis and the English Navy
Captain Hamilton.
Hamilton asked
him “Who do you think you, the greeks, are? Why don’t you make an agreement with
the Sultan?” Theodoros Kolokotronis replied “Our King never signed any
agreement. He never negotiated any agreement and only three places in Greece
were left independent - Mani, Souli and Sfakia and us the Kleftes (thieves) who
have been fighting for three hundred years”!
29th
of May 2017 and today one thousand one hundred kilometres away from Athens in
Constantinople they’re partying. They are celebrating. Celebrating the looting,
celebrating the Fall, with different village choirs, with kaftans and scarves
and what have you. Yet in Athens, in the capital of the “Hellenes” Silence! Only
we Golden Dawners remember, we have a memory and honour those who fell for
Faith, Fatherland and Freedom! For Jesus Christ, for Hellas! There is total
silence, a deathly silence, in the Athens of the “Hellenes”. At the same time
that we’ve gathered here to honour the holy memory of this great Emperor and
his brave fighters who fell in their millions for the Hellenic empire, millions
of slaves are glued to their television screens to watch “Survivor” and other
ridiculous, revolting programmes were people disgrace and humiliate themselves
and the viewers. They’re
responsible for their own fate, we’re not fighting for them- for our sense of
honour, for our pride, for our faith, for the Golden Dawn of the Hellenes.
That’s what we are fighting for. Not for the people who are happy to be slaves
and subservient.
Today I had the
honour to follow an exceptional man to the podium, someone who has made history,
our brother in arms Alexandros Gerontas. His chest bears the scars of bullet
wounds, the bullets of the murderers who weren’t able to stop us. A few days
ago, a “fiesta” was organised at a central Athens hotel, by the persecutor of
Golden Dawn – Dendias. As he was speaking, behind him on the wall, he displayed
a photo of myself in handcuffs, like a hunter displaying his trophy. What
message was he trying to convey back when that image was being broadcast on all
the news channels, and again yesterday? Fear. However we are not afraid. You are all here! Are you afraid of fighting
for Hellas?
At another Gate
of Saint Romanos, that is found on Irakleio Avenue we also wrote a glorious
page in Hellenic history, with the blood of two exceptional brothers in arms
and the wounds on the body of a third. They should know that we don’t forget.
They should know that the myth took form at that Gate of Saint Romanos, our
Emperor, he became a myth to an entire people. He became a poem to our great
poets who were inspired by Hellas and by the Fatherland not like todays poets
who are against anything and everything Hellenic. Our children are no longer
taught the poem by Vizinos in school: The poem “Grandmother, did you see him
with your own eyes, the King?” talks about the Marble Entombed King. Yes our
tradition says that Konstantinos Paleologos never died: an Angel of the Lord
has hidden him until the time comes to rise up, when he will take his sword and
chase out the turks so that we will once again have that which belongs to us.
He only had a
few thousand defenders then, the King. I don’t know how many of you have
visited that modest holy temple in Mystras, where there’s a mosaic of a two
headed eagle. That is where Konstantinos Paleologos was sworn in as Emperor in
1449 so that he could go to the City, to write history, to write the myth that
kept our nation alive for four hundred years. It will be written again for
thousands of years because nations survive only with Marble Entombed Kings and
Leonidas’, not with accountants and miserable people who sign memorandums.
Everyone here
today is exceptional, the young, the proud hellenes. You all honour us here
today with your presence and to you all, a mighty “Well done” is due because
you resist and stand tall at a time when everyone else is subservient either to
the “god” of wealth or to fear in a sold-out, foreign serving political state. You
all deserve the largest round of applause, firstly from myself.
Someone came
forward and said a few words about the mosque that they are planning to build
in Athens. We recently had a draft law proposed in the Parliament about the
mosque that we of course voted against. You should however be aware of
something: who paved the way for the Mosque. For a mosque to be built, or any
place of worship from any religion, it’s necessary for the approval of the
Metropolitan of the area. In 2014 Samaras and Venizelos voted for a law along
with Panos Kammenos who plays the patriot, and with this vote the mosque was
approved by the state -this foreign serving entity. Prior to this, they
couldn’t build a mosque.
They planned their betrayal purposefully and
methodically. Against them they had, they have and they will have, as long as
we are breathing, as long as God graces us with life, all of us who have been
through such difficulties- bullets, imprisonment. Even from behind the bars of
prison we were still fighting them with our written word and with our faith. With
only a phone card from prison, we waged our election campaign. We didn’t back
down! We won’t back down! They will always find us against them whether they
like it or not!
At this point
I’d like to share with you a verse regarding the betrayal of Europe, from
Lorenzos Mavilis but I get the impression that it might be against the
“anti-racism” law. In any case I will tell you that Lorenzos Mavilis writes
that “Turks are beasts nurtured by Europe” That’s what Turks are. Back then in 1453
the ships of the Venetian usurers never arrived to assist Constantinople. A
handful of brave Genovese went and they deserve to be honoured for it however
when their leader was injured they abandoned the City.
There were also
“Hellenes” that had great wealth but kept it hidden. When a man from the West
came, Urban the Hungarian who had manufactured a cannon, there were no funds
found for Constantinople to purchase it for its defence. Urban then went and
sold it to Mohamed. In the armies of Mohamed there were thousands of European
Christians but also Hellenes unfortunately, betrayal is everywhere. The Gate is
in the state itself. What we must do is within our chests, within our souls,
within our hearts: we should not let them pass The Gate.
What meaning
does today’s commemoration really have? What meaning does our commemoration at
the end of every January have when we honour the fallen of Imia? Or every
summer, when we honour the dead of Thermopylae? It is the worship of our
ancestors. It is the proof of that exactly which they want to destroy: that we
are the historical continuation of the great nation of Hellenes that created
two empires: one of Alexander the Great and one of the Byzantines. Of these
empires we are the continuation and that is why today there should be
everywhere ceremonies in memory of those who fell so that the City could remain
Hellenic.
However there is silence: the guilty silence of the obedient slaves.
There is a guilty silence also from those who speak of a Hellenic-Turkish
friendship. Then there is the silence of those pseudo-patriots who every so
often make a big show of playing the hard men, that “if the turks dare to do
anything, then they’ll do this or that” What do they do? They continually
violate our national sovereignty in the Aegean and they watch while speaking
empty words. They are subservient too, they don’t dare do a thing.
The Hellenic
nation is the historic continuation of the Acheans who left with the black
sails that sailed to Troy. It is the natural continuation of those who fought
the battles of all battles, at Marathon, at Salamis, at Thermopylae. It is the
natural continuation of the Hellenes who gave the first battle of Manzikert
that were betrayed by “Hellenes” and were defeated. It is the natural continuation
of the Hellenes that fought, only a few thousand, at the side of the greatest
hero of the Hellenic Middle Ages, Konstantinos Paleologos, the Marble Entombed
King, the myth of the Hellenes.
Proud Hellenes,
brothers and sisters in arms, it is no accident that they want to change by all
means possible the history books. They want to develop a generation of Hellenes
with the memory of a goldfish. Who won’t care where they came from or where
they’re going; who were their grandparents or what did their ancestors do; what
is the fame and the glory of the nation that they belong to. They are the crows
of globalisation that want to destroy all ethnic nations, to destroy all
Fatherlands. We reply to them that against their plans, Golden Dawn will be the
Secret School of the Hellenes in these difficult times of decay. We are
fighting to keep alive the memory of the great and significant events of this
nation, like today’s commemoration. The day that the Marble Entombed King spilt
his blood to pass into immortality until he will rise with his sword in hand so
that the great generation of Hellenes will be reborn and reign in glory against
the subservient foreign serving times we live in. We nationalists should
acknowledge that we don’t forget, that to this aim we are primarily dedicated,
not to forget. Not to forget Salamis. Not to forget Thermopylae. Not to forget
the Gate of Saint Romanos. But let us not forget also the traitors who opened
the gates. We should remember them especially so that when the time comes the
nation can give to them what they deserve.
Brothers and
sisters in arms, this night in Mani, let the flags fly high, to symbolise the
souls of the brave who fell in City. Raise them high towards Heaven. The two
headed eagle protects the whole nation and we can hope that one day it will fly
again in Constantinople. Standing here in front of the statue of Konstantinos
Paleologos I will invite you to participate in a Roll Call of the Fallen. I
will say the word “Immortal” and I ask that you repeat it.
Konstantinos
Paleologos and his brave fighters: Immortal!
Crowd: Immortal
Long Live
Victory! Long Live the Nation!
Soon we'll see the fall of Ankara!
