Greece's Neo-Nazi Golden Dawn Party is Coming to Chicago

Chrisi Avgi LogoIn the wake of Greece's economic meltdown, several factions have jockeyed for power amid social unrest, soaring debts and austerity measures both complicated and controversial. Perhaps the most notorious of these groups is the increasingly popular far-right, anti-immigrant Chrysi Avgi (Golden Dawn) Party, which won 18 seats in the country's Parliament back in June 2012, despite (or because of) their neo-Nazi imagery, hardline nationalism, and links to attacks on Asian and African migrants.

Not content to proselytizing in their homeland, Golden Dawn has started to expand worldwide.

Barely a month after their electoral victories, Golden Dawn launched a widely-criticized branch in Melbourne, Australia, home to one of the largest Greek populations outside of Athens. In October, several groups protested the opening of a Golden Dawn office in New York City, which had opened for the explicit purpose of building support for the party among Greek expatriate communities and collecting food and medicine to distribute in Greece -- but only for Greeks. And in Montreal, Golden Dawn is holding a Christmas food drive. The catch? They're only giving food out to Greek Christians.

But this quote near the bottom of the last story is what really caught my eye:

"Golden Dawn members in the United States have told CBC News they plan to open chapters shortly in Chicago, in Connecticut and in Toronto."

Chicago has a sizable Greek community with a popular Greektown neighborhood. But Chicago also has sizable non-Greek communities, including the very same Asian, African and Jewish communities that Golden Dawn is dedicated to kicking out of Greece. Although Golden Dawn North America seems to have an official blog confirming the upcoming expansion into the aforementioned locations, I couldn't find any indication that the Chicago branch has "officially" launched.

In an amusing twist, most searches on Google for "Golden Dawn Chicago" point to something very different -- the local branch of a spinoff of Western Occultism/New Age spiritual mish-mashing pioneers, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.

Whether support for a party dedicated to a "state that constantly serves the eternal revolutionary principles of the nationalist worldview, with the ultimate goal of forming a new society and a new type of man" takes off in the Chicagoland Greek community remains to be seen. Just in the past few days, the party has seen its Athens office bombed by an anti-fascist group, and two of its members turned away from Greek Parliament for attempting to bring in guns. It's not uncommon for expatriate communities to feel strong ties to the homeland, but it'll be difficult for Golden Dawn to avoid scrutiny from Greek patriots and would-be donors the longer it stays cloaked with the specter of violence.

But the group is not likely to apologize for its public stances or actions any time soon. In response to the Montreal food drive controversy, the Golden Dawn North America blog lashed out against the Jewish groups behind the protests for engaging in "racist hypocrisy" for not distributing aid to non-Jewish groups in Greece.

Meanwhile, some outlets are reporting that Golden Dawn plans to launch an organization in Greece called "Doctors Within Borders" -- a group that would only medically treat Greeks. The irony here is that a group claiming to preserve the Greek people and their historical identity is getting ready to throw away the very basis of medical ethics established in the Hippocratic Oath -- a Greek doctrine dating back to the 5th century B.C.

Greece is not the only European country facing a surge in right-wing nationalist fervor, nor is the only part of the world plagued with increasingly widespread ethnic and religious xenophobia and violence. Likewise, there are no easy answers to Greece's economic problems, nor the economic problems leading people to leave their countries in favor of Greece and the rest of Europe.

But there's a certain tragic symbolism to seeing Greek civil society deteriorate alongside other parts of the world. As Human Rights Watch's Europe Director Jan Egelund put it to TIME, "If we give up on Greece, this cradle of civilization, philosophy and humanism, how can we make progress in the Congo, or Afghanistan or Syria?"

I'm not entirely sure that you can characterize "ethnic and religious xenophopia and violence" as "increasingly widespread. I feel like, by any real metric, that sort of violence is probably less prevalent than in the past. More strident, perhaps, or more widely hyped in the media echo chamber, but without evidence, I doubt it's truly "increasingly widespread".

Bobby Jackson / December 13, 2012 10:55 AM

Jason,

How are the Jewish groups not practicing racial hypocrisy by condemning Golden Dawn for the exact same thing many Jewish groups like the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee do?
Just look ">http://www.jdc.org/where-we-work/europe/greece.html"> what I found on the JDC’s website.

“Today, in the wake of the economic crisis, JDC, through the local Jewish community, is helping to:

Save the poorest Greek Jews by supplying food, shelter, and other relief services to elderly who are struggling to survive on plummeting pensions…

Developing tomorrow’s Jewish leaders by providing scholarships for young Jews whose families are no longer able to afford Jewish day school tuition due to their financial hardship.”

Golden Dawn = Greeks giving to Greeks in Greece = An Outrage!

But...

JDC = Jews giving to Jews in Greece = Good, no need for newspaper articles attacking or condemning them.

What am I missing here?

Ramon / December 13, 2012 5:38 PM

Golden Dawn is an openly neo-Nazi party. The fact that this is not self-evidently evil and horrifying is baffling to me. I'm afraid the first two comments are way off the mark.

Here are two informative articles on what Golden Dawn stands for:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/oct/26/golden-dawn-greece-far-right

http://socialistworker.org/2012/10/11/turning-despair-into-hate

I don't want to live in a world where Nazis are tolerated.

Jason / December 13, 2012 7:08 PM

Ramon – Thanks for stating what I imagine most people who read this are thinking. But in case anyone found the other two commenters' arguments persuasive, I wanted to respond to the logic they are using.

Dutch101 - Yes, it's hard to precisely quantify instances and rates of xenophobia, and the violence driven by it, with any sort of comparative statistical rigor. And to a certain extent, anti-[insert group here] mentalities in countries and regions can stew for long periods of time without any widespread outward manifestation of them.

But to give several examples of recently-erupted ethnic/religious conflicts: we've seen ethnic and religious divisions between the anti-Assad opposition groups in Syria, attacks on a Muslim ethnic minority group in Myanmar, the destabilization of northern Mali from an alliance between an ethnic separatist group and al-Qaeda affiliates, increases in attacks on Coptic Christians in Egypt, and massive anti-Japanese demonstrations in Chinese cities over territorial claims surrounding an uninhabited island group, just to name a few. And that's not factoring ongoing conflicts between Israel and Hamas, Hezbollah, and their mutual supporters, continued terrorist attacks in Afghanistan and Iraq, and continued ethnic warfare across parts of Sub-Saharan Africa.

In Europe, the violence is certainly less widespread than it has been historically, but nationalist parties have gained popularity in Italy, France, Netherlands, Hungary, and Britain: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2012/10/20/meet-europes-far-right-groups/.

The Eurozone crisis and continued immigration of non-European groups (legal or illegal) to these countries from economically-poorer regions will probably assure these parties' continued growth in popularity in the forseeable future.

"Bobby Jackson" – because judging by the Facebook page you've linked to, that's probably a fake account – you're engaging in several false equivalencies:

1. The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee isn't calling for expelling non-Jews from Greece.

2. The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee is not a political party lobbying for votes and trying to foster political support through giving donations in order to enact policies that affect everyone currently living in Greece.

3. They may not necessarily provide humanitarian assistance to non-Jews in Greece, but when it comes to Israel, their website also indicates that they support the rich and poor within the country, regardless of ethnic/religious background:

"JDC partners with the Government of Israel to research and develop innovative, scalable solutions to meet the needs of the country’s most disadvantaged citizens, including Israeli Arabs, vulnerable immigrants, children and youth at risk, the elderly, and people with disabilities."

Palestinian support might be a different story, but this charity is certainly no equivalent to Golden Dawn, and these initiatives are the opposite of Golden Dawn's proposed charitable endeavors.

Mikael / December 14, 2012 2:23 AM

Jason you are a hypocrite. Golden Dawn is doing a lot of good in poor Greek communities, handing out free food, clothes and medicine. The only reason they are cracking down on illegal immigrants (most of whom bring poverty and dysfunction themselves) is because somebody has to. There are 1 billion Africans and 2 billion Asians who would love to immigrate to Greece. The problem is that Greece is a tiny country of 10 million people, on the front lines of a seemingly endless non-white invasion of Europe.

MIKAEL / December 14, 2012 2:56 AM

Jason - your tenderness and inarticulate stances must be the result of your inability to think objectively. You see the world through the lens of an unquestioning Cultural Marxist. "Everyone is the same... Race is a social construct... Europeans are no smarter than Africans.... white people who stand up for their rights in the face of murderous illegal immigrants are evil..." etc.

Ever notice how the only groups who protest Golden Dawn are "far left" themselves, like communists and anarchists??? Basically the "who's who" of society's bilge. It is always brainwashed white youth like you who go out with their beards, red shirts and molotov cocktails. Hell, Golden Dawn's HQ in Greece has been bombed multiple times, probably by the RED SCUM you so fervently support.

You pinko commies sure do stick up for one another. Too bad you will be the least prepared to sustain yourselves when the SHTF.

Jeronimus / December 14, 2012 8:37 AM

The liberals believe that whites have no right to organize because we have a history of oppressing other races. But other races also have a history of oppressing other races. Whites are not uniquely guilty; we were just more effective at it, and probably more relevant, we have been vulnerable to guilt tripping.

Jewish and Commie groups don't want whites organizing because then we'll stop feeding the parasites (them and their colored hordes). It's that simple. They got a good thing going, they don't want to lose it.

But our very lives depend on our unlatching these parasites from around our necks.

HAIL VICTORY!

HAIL THE GOLDEN DAWN!

Erik / December 14, 2012 9:21 AM

Fascists sucker people with their good deeds (helping the poor, etc) and then line up the suckers and get them killed in some cockimamy war. Or the fascist group flames out with infighting and alcohol abuse... racial purity politics always ends up shooting itself in the head. Hard to believe the Greek alternative to the Troika is to repeat the stupidest political errors of the 20th century.

sio / December 14, 2012 9:24 AM

Unfortunately the conversation in here has gotten out of hand. Some, that obviously know nothing about Greece or GD in Greece, are using this platform to express their racist and hateful opinions. Anyway.. as Greek living in Chicago for many yrs, GD is a deep embarrassment and a historical anathema, that why they are destine for the dust-bin of history. The vast majority of Greeks feel this way. It is unfortunately because the society if going through an economic shock and their social response to this phenomenon seems muted. In my opinion this is a transient phenomenon, which can cause a lot of pain to Greek society in the process, with no doubt. Also without wanting to underestimate how bad they are, lot of media-hype around them greatly inflates their influence.
I have no doubt the GD, if the news is true about them being active in Chicago; will get the “proper response” from the local community

Daniel Genseric / December 14, 2012 9:47 AM

"ASIA FOR THE ASIANS, AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS, WHITE COUNTRIES FOR EVERYBODY!"

Everybody says there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries.

The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.

Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY white countries to “assimilate,” i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.

What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries?

How long would it take anyone to realize I’m not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem?

And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldn’t object to this?

But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the white race, Liberals and respectable conservatives agree that I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.

They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-white.

Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white.

LMAO.

Bobby Jackson / December 14, 2012 1:13 PM

Jason,

You missed my point entirely. My point was to show that the media which attacks Golden Dawn for their ethnic specific charity aren’t being sincere in their condemnation. They act like Golden Dawn is doing something wrong for targeting their aid to people of Greek decent in Greece, read above and you’ll see an example of a writer doing just that, but then they don’t say anything negative about the Jewish charity called the JDC which targets their aid to people of Jewish decent in Greece.

If this isn’t hypocrisy, then nothing is.

Now if the media wants to talk about Golden Dawn’s platform which says that all illegal immigrants should be deported from Greece, they should also talk about some of the right wing politicians in Israel who have called for similar things.

Just look at what a member of Israel’s ruling Likud party, a Member of the Knesset (the Israeli parliament) said">http://www.haaretz.com/news/national/demonstrators-attack-african-migrants-in-south-tel-aviv-1.432262">said about Sudanese in Israel:

“Some 1,000 protesters rallied in Tel Aviv's Hatikva neighborhood on Wednesday and called for the ousting of African asylum seekers from Israel.

Demonstrators attacked African passersby while others lit garbage cans on fire and smashed car windows.

Another group of demonstrators stopped a shuttle taxi and searched for migrant workers among the passengers, while banging on the windows.

The crowd cried "The people want the Sudanese deported" and "Infiltrators get out of our home."

Likud MK Miri Regev participated in the protest and said that ”the Sudanese were a cancer in our body”.

…Following the protest, hundreds of people assembled in the main street of the Hatikvah neighborhood. Several protesters smashed the windows of a grocery store that served the migrant workers community, broke the windows of a barber shop and looted it.”

I agree with Mrs. Regev that the Sudanese have no place in Israel. I just wish Jewish groups like the B'nai B’rith would stop being such damned hypocrites. I wish they’d either condemn their fellow Jew Miri Regev in the same terms they condemn Golden Dawn, or else stop condemning Golden Dawn.

If Jews can have Israel, why can’t Greeks have Greece? If more and more Jews in Israelis are getting sick of sharing their ancient homeland with a never ending flood of racial aliens like the Sudanese, what’s wrong with more and more Greeks getting sick of sharing their ancient homeland with a never ending flood of racial aliens?

It’s actually far more understandable that the Greeks are getting sick of it given that they’ve had so many more immigrants come in than Israelis have had to put up with, and given that their economy is struggling much worse than the Israeli economy (making it so the average Greek is hurt much more by wage competition from immigrants than the average Israeli).

Greece for Greeks!

Bobby Jackson / December 14, 2012 1:26 PM

>I have no doubt the GD, if the news is true about them being active in Chicago; will get the “proper response” from the local community

There is no doubt in my mind that some Greeks in Chicago will want to support Golden Dawn's chapter in that city. Maybe not a very large percentage, but some of them will.

And those Greeks have every right to support the party which best reflects their beliefs.

I hope you aren't one of those liberals who claim to value tolerance but who are incredibly intolerant towards anyone who disagrees with the basic assumptions of the liberal worldview.

I hope when you wrote "proper response" you just meant refusing to support them, and not any such foolishness as those murderous anarchists just pulled in Greece where they sought to murder members of Golden Dawn with a bomb:

Nick the Greek's granddaughter / December 14, 2012 3:10 PM

Wow. Quite the nazi pile-on here. First, Sio, a 'proper response' is most definitely what's called for. Second, Jason, for what it's worth, the JDC's close ties to the Israeli government belie its role in normalizing Israeli policy that has advanced decades of repression, brutality and dispossession of Palestinians. On the up side, the JDC did agree to include a day in the West Bank in a planned service trip to Israel at the instigation of Jewish activists concerned about the mistreatment of Palestinians. As for the racist, fascist, nazi scumsucking tools posting against this thread, recall that Chicago has a long history of rejecting this kind of idiocy. Here's for history repeating itself for a change.

Ricardo Gonzalez / December 14, 2012 3:31 PM

Oh, wow. Here's Nick "The Greek" giving us a nice, informative update on what a Jewish group does with its spare time -- so that we may recognize this particular Jewish group as somehow different, apart from, perhaps more palatable, than other Jewish groups.

Save it, you fucking kike.

“The great trick of Jewry was to insinuate itself fraudulently amongst the religions with a religion like Judaism, which in reality is not a religion. Simply, the Jew has put a religious camouflage over his racial doctrine. Everything he undertakes is built on this lie.”

-- Adolf Hitler

“The governments of the peoples included in this world republic, with the aid of the victorious proletariat, all will fall without difficulty into Jewish hands. Private property will then be strangled by the Jewish directors, who will administer the state patrimony everywhere. Thus the promise of the Talmud will be fulfilled, that is, the promise that the Jews, at the arrival of the Messiah, will possess the key to the wealth of all the peoples of the earth.”

– Baruch Levy, in a letter to Karl Marx, published in the Rothschild controlled La Revue de Paris, June 1, 1928.

sio / December 14, 2012 9:15 PM

proper responce = a legal, under the rule of law responce. Democracy and the rule of law has a right and a responsibility to protect itself, and there are legal and social tools to do that. It is a non violent responce. Only extream left and right use violence to impose their ideology

nic / December 14, 2012 10:46 PM

"But there's a certain tragic symbolism to seeing Greek civil society deteriorate..." Oh, yes! It certainly is tragic when senior citizens have to be escorted by GD members in order to be able to withdraw money from the ATM machine. In a country that used to be one of the safest in the world just a few years ago.

Ricardo Gonzalez / December 14, 2012 11:57 PM

andre / December 15, 2012 3:53 AM

Really great to see so many awake and informed people here in the comments. Even with all of the massive propaganda the Jew has subjected us to since their alleged Holocaust, we white men are rising up off our knees and taking action. The Golden Dawn is the future of Europe.

I wanted to comment a bit on the American situation though.

I don't think America has no future, but it is going to be very difficult there. I personally believe that the best option would be to give blacks their own nation, probably somewhere in the south, and give them self determination. I am a fascist, but I am not a racist, and blacks simply do deserve their own nation. We can't get along. We have tried this and it simply doesn't work. This whole idea of different races all living together is ridiculous and idiotic.

If we cede land to the black though, we still have a massive immigrant population to deal with. Asians and Latinos. I think they need to all be deported, regardless of whether or not they were born there. Even if their parents were born there. It doesn't matter. America should be 99% white. Period.

The Jews should be rounded up and put in camps and sterilized. Deporting them does not make sense. They will simply reorganize and come back stronger. It is also not fair to the people of whatever country we would deport them to. We could just send them all to Israel and then cut off financial support and let the Arabs deal with them how they see fit.

Heil Golden Dawn.

Heil Hitler.

Heil the white race, Heil the traditions and heritage of our people.

We are back.

Fed Up / December 15, 2012 12:40 PM

Not a nazi, not either a racist, but here i'll have to agree with the hitler fanboys: There's nothing wrong with people wanting to help their own ethnicity, i mean, when blacks do black-centered charity drives, they're hailed as social heroes, sure, the african-americans have always been an oppressed culture and ethnic group in the USA, but aren't modern day greeks on the same boat?
And as long as they keep it to ETHICITY and not RACE, i think it's all right, they have been protesting against illegal immigrants, but as long as they don't have beef with legal ones' coming to their county, what's the problem? Oh yes, their means do sound a bit "unright", but if you can't recognize the bias in the media that publishes news about them(and being a small party in a small country, they'll get featured either by leftist media wanting to get more attention to themselves or neo-nazis wanting to prove everyone that their movement isn't out of style), then i guess, you're even more deluded than the actual nazis.
The truth stays in the middle, i say, they sound like not such a bad party if you check what they actually say, as opposed to what others (alternative right and left alike) claim.

That website for antiracistaction started out saying on the bottom that they'd be more information pending, but actually there was less information pending.

How come they took down their old information?

I'm guessing it might have something to do with the information they started out claiming to have gotten from Golden Dawn NYC was false:

Demetri / December 16, 2012 10:39 PM

We are releasing some of the fruits of that operation now

'Anti-Racist Action’s “small victory” that they are bragging about, is in essence going to be the organization’s suicide. One good example is the individual they put in as “second in command” of Golden Dawn. They literally took a random person’s photo, added in a random home address and phone number, and then a random link to some Myspace from 4 years ago. Exposed in a conversation in one of the groups affiliated with the ARA, calling itself “Queer Ultraviolence” (a group that openly endorses violence against anyone they do not like, including those on this carelessly compiled list).

In a hilarious twist of fate, the individual whose information was put on this list is actually a black nationalist and long time veteran of the Anarchist community!

We then took the liberty to call the numbers provided on the list, as a favor to these individuals being slandered and to make sure they keep their families safe from the looming Communist threat. The individuals listed on Anti-Racist Action’s blogs are unrelated to our movement, and after we showed them the root of the threats of violence against them (old ladies, parents, and for the most part, apolitical people that had never even heard of Golden Dawn!) they were furious and confused.'

If you want actual news on Golden dawn, their offical international newsroom is.
http://golden-dawn-international-newsroom.blogspot.se/

With regard to Golden Dawn there is a Marxist policy of population replacement all across Europe, many cities now resemble the third world, where the indigenous population are being pushed out and replaced by foreigners, mostly third world people, this policy is celebrated by politicians and any dissenters are arrested and charged with so called hate crimes.

The reality of the failure of these artificially created societies is kept from the people through a complicit media and state and media intimidation of truth tellers,
although the internet has woken up many people. It’s the indigenous population that face persecution, inequality, oppression, and left wing hate and tyranny. Many immigrants know their elevated status and take full advantage of it, rubbing it in the noses of the indigenous population, which causes greater anger and resentment and a deeper fracturing of society. These Marxist do not hide their genocide agenda, one very senior front bench politician of the last far left Labour administration in the UK stated that ‘the British as a race aren’t worth saving’.
Others stating that they have no problem with there being no indigenous people in Europe in the future, and that is one purpose of mass immigration, there are many others.

Golden Dawn know all this full well and are fighting to secure their nation for their people, demonising them with the old tired and desperate Nazi and fascist label doesn’t wash anymore, they’re fighting for the continued existence of their people, identity, heritage, and culture, and doing so the only way they can because they know their political parties do not serve them, to hate them for doing this makes you the racist and a supporter of genocide.

Katrhin / December 28, 2012 9:19 AM

Of course this is multicultural media, and Golden dawn is very much an anti-multicultural party, the biast should be obvious even to the most brainwashed politicially correct minion.

This is the actual program put forward by Golden dawn, if you're interested in reading what the party actual stands for, instead of allowing anti-white politically correct media tell you what Golden dawn stand for. Just read it for yourself.
http://golden-dawn-international-newsroom.blogspot.se/2012/12/the-program-of-golden-dawn.html

A hint :
* More democracy, less totalitarianism and dictatorship of multicultural EU.

*Less racial discrimination against Greeks and Europeans by muliculti leftists, and more meritocracy.

*More direct-democrat on every big decision the country makes, and less fascism with EU and multicultural elitist, thinking they know best for everyone.

*Less genocide by replacing the Greek population with everyothery people possible, and more programs to encourage Greek families to have their own children.

In short, what anti-whites would call good and healthy in a none-white country, and call nazism in a white country.

http://golden-dawn-international-newsroom.blogspot.se/

I first realized we had a serious problem when, years ago, Iwas having a convo with a liberal friend of mine, arguing very logically how multiculturalism and diversity are mutually exclusive and self annihilating concepts.

In frustration she blurted out "I just wish everyone were brown and then there wouldnt be a problem!"

yeah.....

it was at that moment that i realized that the far left has set events in motion that are far more genocidal than ANY preceeding ideology, ever.
The U.N. defines Genocide as ANYTHING, in whole or in part, that over the long make it hard or impossible for a people to preserve their identity: This include Mass Immigration, Integration And the promotion of Miscegenation and White Guilt.

Mental Harm is ALSO a form of Genocide by the U.N.

Telling White children they are evil, and owe something to non-whites and have no heritage or homeland IS GENOCIDE.

GD need to take security very seriously indeed in Athens to guard against IDF/Mossad /Shin Bet creating false flag explosions and murder. Many forget that Israeli spies with help of dual national American Jews brought down WTC 1 & 2 towers in controlled demolition explosions as well as Building 7 and the Pentagon. All Jew spies escaped back to Israel and Isrealis were warned not to show up for work on 9/11. The blood of those 3000 and countkess millions is th evil that is Judaism.

Good for the greeks for standing up for their culture and religion. How dare you critisize them for doing that? They are not racist they are protecting what is rightfully theirs and what their ancestors fought for. God bless Golden Dawn for protecting Orthodox religion.

Xenophobia is not Europeans wanting their countries to remain European. Only white civilization is forced to be multiculti AGAINST the will of the people. The house of cards is teetering.
HAIL THE GOLDEN DAWN!

Scott / March 1, 2013 12:11 AM

Golden Dawn is the only political party that cares for Greece and the Greek people. The propaganda, local and international are intentionally lying and via the corrupt media portray the party as the
neo-Nazis.Yet, people in Greece and all over the world realize the pure core values and principles the party is being defined by. As the two formerly large political parties of ND and Pasok are driven and plagued by deep corruption, Golden Dawn is the only ray of hope. Stop the orchistrated propaganda against Golden Dawn.

Suzie / March 6, 2013 1:01 PM

I am a Evangelical Christian living in Greece and we are here to share the love of Christ Jesus, the only savior of the world. Jesus died for us all, ALL, yes that means whites (which I am), blacks, Hispanics, Asians,...everyone. It's funny that Golden Dawn says they want all dark skinned people out when most Greeks are olive skinned and many dark skinned. I am ethnically German. If I recall, when the Germans invaded Greece, they thought them as a lower life form, actually all people that weren't German were considered to be lower life forms. So for Greeks to want to be anything like the Nazis who invaded and devastated their country is beyond me. People keep saying that GD are Nationalists but so were the Nazis. They say they are for the Greek people, but the Nazis were for the German people. They say they are not racist but all they are about is beating up anyone that is not like them, but so did the Nazis. I can go on... but the list would be endless. The rhetoric coming from them is disgusting and if they are allowed to continue I GUARANTEE we will see Nazi Germany all over again. Many of the comments I read in response to this article are very self-contradicting because on one hand they spout out racism and hatred but then go on to say they are not racists but nationalists. This makes absolutely no sense at all! I am an American, how would you feel if Greeks or any other “foreigner” were being persecuted and told to get out for being Greek and to go back to their own country. There would be outrage. But yet, Golden Dawn any similar parties have this right? No one has that right. I agree with being legal in a country and we should always uphold the law, but not to the extremes of “Nationalists”. Many are people around the world are not for this, and I am one of them, GD is a minority and we will continue to pray against hatred and groups like them.

Jason / March 11, 2013 4:54 PM

Suzie,

Never mind that if present trends continue Muslims will be the majority in Europe, and that Golden Dawn is the only serious force against that.

"Jesus died for us all"

But Jesus never once said that the different nations and ethnic groups of the world should be dissolved by an endless torrent of mass immigration, or that it's wrong for Greeks to want to keep Greece Greek.

"Many of the comments I read in response to this article are very self-contradicting because on one hand they spout out racism and hatred but then go on to say they are not racists but nationalists."

It isn't for you to say what other people are doing.

How'd you feel if the Greek government took Richard Dawkin's lead and defined what you're doing in Greece as trying to infect Greeks with a cultic mind virus.

Your comment is very self-contradicting because on one hand you spout out a soul destroying cultic mind virus but then go on to say they are not a spreader of a cultic mind virus but instead an evangelical Christian.

"It's funny that Golden Dawn says they want all dark skinned people out when most Greeks are olive skinned and many dark skinned."

Your Germano-centric frame for defining the term "dark-skinned" has no relevance to Greece or its people.

You act like you think racism is wrong, but you then express racism towards Greeks.

Forgive the Greeks if they don't listen to your two-faced musings.

" but the Nazis were for the German people."

So nobody can ever be for their own people again, because the National Socialists in Germany were.

Well, except the Jews in Israel. That's different for some mysterious reason.

" I agree with being legal in a country and we should always uphold the law"

The parties other than Golden Dawn have conspired to prevent the enforcement of Greek immigration law.

"Many are people around the world are not for this,"

And many people are for it.

"GD is a minority and we will continue to pray against hatred and"

Jesus spoke well of your type: "You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are."

chol / March 15, 2013 4:21 AM

greece is the new upcoming source of gas,petrleum and gold on the west.greece is also a civilized country with an excellent touristic product and vast agricultural and industrial potentials.as a result of this the greek people has gathered wealth all these decades and the level of life is rather high.
the only way to invest in this country with high profit is by lowering the level of greek peoples life.the plan is simple.the government is being helped by eu and polyethnic companies to import national debt and illegal immigrants.
golden dawn comes here to infom us that illegal immigrants and greek are not the same.golden dawn assists the system to hold the greek peoples wrath away from the system away from parliament and politicians.they use poor political language just to growth peoples anger and express it against illegal immigrants and not against system.
golden dawn has voted in favour of a law that restains the peoples right to orginised protests.is this helping greek people to change their fate?
when you you are in the bottom of the barrel you pray to find someone beneath you just to feel that you are not the bottom.right now many greeks and the illegal immigrants are toghether in the bottom and golden down tries to conveince us that we are the best and that the only problem in this country is the immigrants.
unfortunatly when you are poor and uneducated you are willing to accept metaphysic reasons of your importance.
greek people and people in greece PROTEST and REVOLT.dont drawn your wrath in political parties and metaphysic ideas!throw your wrath to the streets.our real enemies are the corrupted politicians and media.not the illegal immigrants.
golden dawn get lost.
could any proud white explain to me how can he be proud of something he did'nt choose?could i be proud of my green eyes?would it be reasonable?

Jason / March 17, 2013 11:49 AM

"could any proud white explain to me how can he be proud of something he did'nt choose?"

People are proud of things they didn't choose all the time.

Beautiful women are proud of their beauty, though the similarity in looks between identical twins shows that beauty is overwhelmingly the results of intrinsic genetics.

Intelligent people are proud of their intelligence, though intelligence appears to mainly be the result of a combination of genetics and upbringing, and people choose neither their parents nor how they are raised.

People who care about family are proud of their families, even though nobody chooses which family they're born into.

Feminists are proud of being women, even though they didn't choose to be women.

Orthodox Jewish men are proud of being men, as reflected in their ancient prayer thanking God that they are men, even though they didn't choose to be men.

Jews are proud of their Jewishness all the time, even though nobody chooses to be born with Jewish parents.

To not be proud of who you are is a tragic sign of low self-esteem.

I am White. I am proud.

Nobody will ever make me feel ashamed of that feeling.

It gives meaning to my life and makes me feel a deep spiritual connection to my ancestors.

If I was a tribesman in the jungle you would honor my beliefs, but because I'm part of the race that created modern civilization more than any other I'm subjected to judgement.

Reflect on the irony of that.

Jason / March 17, 2013 1:07 PM

"golden dawn assists the system to hold the greek peoples wrath away from the system away from parliament and politicians.they use poor political language just to growth peoples anger and express it against illegal immigrants and not against system."

Golden Dawn is actually against both illegal immigrants AND the system of corrupt politicians and the traitorous parliament.

Here's an English translation of an article on Golden Dawn's official website:

From the alleged fight of corruption by politicians, to the fact that they themselves are the first and best preachers of it.

Within the parliament for 39 consecutive years, there was a peculiar understanding between the parties. Illustrative example, the fact that even the most vehement "enemies", the most yawning "dissidents" have occasionally been able to work together in order to attack the Greek people through the governmental and ministerial chair. We see, moreover, daily news on the "differences" between left and right in the hymns of Mr Kammenos for Mr Tsipras and those of the second for Constantine Karamanlis, the elder, the "Archbishop".

The politicians with their "brothers", the contractors of misinformation, are conspiring against the Greek people, aiming not only money, but the very soul of the nation, the holy tradition, our language, our customs, any aspects of the Greek race. ...The geometric growth of the People's Association of Golden Dawn has caused panic in the political system. A ticklish detail on this is that all the channels ignore the rules of ESR(national board of television) for equally broadcasting all parties, and happily choose to pay, in times of crisis,the fines instead choosing to broadcast something for the People's Association only when they want to slander and defame it.

The assault of the system against us is our highest honor, as is their statement that we do not belong in their cleptocratic "arc".

Suzie / March 27, 2013 12:09 PM

Jason,

First of all, I am not attacking Greeks, which by reading your statement in some way you think I am. I happen to love Greece and the Greek people. I go to a Greek evangelical church, I have many Greek friends...and everyone that I have come into contact with for the years I have been living here has been against the violence that GD stands for. I have no hate toward anyone, but it seems you have a lot to write back the way you did.

I am also very proud to be white but I am not afraid to intermingle and be friends with any other race. When I lived in America it was the same, there are so many different cultures and ethnic groups, Greek being one of them. I don't desire to beat them up, or kick them out for coming to America to work, live or visit. All I hear from you is pure hatred for me and for others that don't share your or the GD view. GD has gone so far to attack Greeks if they don't agree or join. It's true whether you believe me or not, I know people it has happened to. The basic reason I wrote on here in the first place is to state that I don't think violence is right on innocent people who are trying to make a better life for themselves. True, immigration can be an issue, I've heard it from my friends, I truly understand that many take advantage of the Greek people and there is a genuine criminal element among them. But it doesn't mean you try to attack and put fear into people including other Greeks. Greece is a beautiful country, tourists and families from all over love coming here, that is a lot of financial gain for the Greek people. Just like in America or France or Italy. Do you want people to get the wrong impression of Greek people by the violence and the hatred for others that are not Greek. Do you realize that GD has been on the news in America and this is what people are seeing, violence and hatred.
Sure Greece is for Greeks, but what does that really mean, keeping it culturally Greek? No, it means GD want no one living or visiting here that isn't Greek. I am sorry, that is wrong. I am not writing this in anger just sadness, because I don't want to see it come to this where others are not welcome in Greece that are abiding in the law and loving this country. Now the lies you say I spread about Christ. You are sadly mistaken if you think Jesus is for what you are thinking on this subject and the hateful things you are saying. I noticed that you quoted scripture, Matthew 23:15. But you have taken it completely out of context. I would encourage you to pick up the Bible yourself and read it. You'd be surprised how eye opening it will be. Start with the Gospel of John and you will for see Christ's love, in-depth and in deed.
Jason, Jesus loves you and I pray the love of the Lord would enter your heart. I'll be praying for you and will not be writing back again.

Rick / April 2, 2013 7:59 AM

This is exactly what this country needs. You libs think there isn't a majority of Americans who want the stinking sub-human illegal aliens out of this county?... Just wait until this party gets established and see how many of us support their views.

loljustno / April 15, 2013 3:56 AM

Golden Dawn is not a "Neo-Nazi" group. You can not just deny things and write everything off you don't like as neo-Nazis... That is just a low cop-out, find a better excuse. Anyone who actually looks in to them can easily see that they aren't some low-ranking Nazi skinhead group. Get your facts straight.

Aussie / April 15, 2013 10:52 AM

By way of introduction, I am a 60 year old born in Greece and taken to Australia as a 2 year old. Most of the contributions here seem to be made by a little bit uninformed persons and, possibly, some agents provocateur whether you are for or against them. It's a bit hypocritical for Greeks of USA, Canada, or Australia to condemn Greeks for railing against the impact illegal immigrants have had on the country. America had an open door until it decided it had to have some control of the numbers of migrants entering. Now people reminisce nostalgically of Ellis Island, forgetting the screening processes their ancestors had to go through, and 99.9% of migrants to Canada and Australia arrived legally, after the most stringent of health and Police checks. I am not fully aware of their platform but agree with their stance on national priorities and the need to bring previous governments and Prime Ministers to justice. However, I would like to explore and debate the notion of racial purity and that Greeks are born and not made. In my mind, I hold true to the belief I am Greek going back ten generations but defy anyone to go further back without proper geneaological proofs. Will they deny my Greekness? As for being born a Greek I would debate with GD the point that there are a huge number of children born to Greeks of mixed marriages. Would GD deny the Greekness of their offspring? If so, why attempt to attract the Greek diaspora to their cause without clarifying that two Greek parents are required to create Greek offspring. Seems to defeat their purpose does't it? Proves they are not perfect but, nonetheless, they can benefit from our experiences to modify their agressiveness and really develop into a functional alternative choice for government. I also condemn all governments after 1974 for never ever explaining to the Greek nation that the entry to the E U would mean loss of sovereignity. No real Greek would ever agree to allow persons other than Greeks to have control of their nation. The current state of affairs has been a conspiracy of 40 years in the making and only a Golden Dawn at this time can bring a New Dawn to Greece. Greece is the subject at hand not Jews,Communists and whatever else you people conjure up. They are all irrelevant if we concentrate on how Greece can be extricated intact from the E U.

first of all.the fact that several people is proud of his/her luck does not mean that is reasonable.in contrary its a matter of low self esteem to try to convince yourself that its a great think something that happend by matter of luck instead of trying to make your personal impact in this life.
feminist women are proud of their social wins to state the obvious..eqality and not superiority.family members are proud to prepare good people for the society.
the example about preety women proud of their beauty is the exactly the living example of low self esteem if they stick only to this and they not proceed in other levels as a matter of their free choices.
second thing.of course a country must crave a certain foreign migration policy.what happens in greece is not fair for anyone.but its golden dawn that deals with this and not the responsible government.its reason of existence is exactly this.when the government will be told to reform the dublin2 act golden dawn will lose its reason of existence.if golden dawn didnt exist the government would have to deal also with this,but thanks to goldeb dawn they keep concentrate in their european real estate business.
the wrath of golden dawn is opposed only against to the illegal immigrants and to the german conquistators.they react to nothing in regard to this.just tell me what is the reaction of golden dawn to the cheap selling od the gold mines in chalkidiki and to the elimination of the environment.their position is completely silent.we are talking about national wealth and greek nature.where are they?
they oppose to no one powerfull.no one rich.
they made in few months offices in every village and city in greece.where did they find money.its known that they will get the money of their last percentage in the end of thir 4 year duty as any other political party.
golden dawn serves with great consistency the government.thet choose where to appear in the mass media and there are many journalists that received denials in their calls for presence.
when its about immigrants they act violent and they always have channels with rhem.when its about troica and selling the country they make only hostile like announcements.
