Eshterat e At Fishtes: ne Drin apo ne Remaj?

Nuk e kam pas dit qe baballaret e ketyre ‘demokrateve’ te sotem paskan urdheru me i zhvarros eshtrat e At. Fishtes, e me i hudh ne Bune. Paska pas nji Shkodran me vizion qe s’e paska kry urdherin. Ne qofshin vertet ne Remaj ato duhen te nxirren e te varrosen me ceremoni shteterore.

Well…dr.Spiro…

So this Ruslav idiot of a journalist roams freely in the streets of Tirana getting everything wrong. But who can help her? Enter ‘dr. Spiro’:

Religious belief in Albania is like watered-down wine. It hardly gets to your head. But there are always exceptions.

The young Dr. Spiro is an unusual case. He is a passionate Orthodox believer who wears an icon on his key chain and has an image of Christ on his mobile phone.

“As an Orthodox Albanian, how did you feel when Albanians burned old Serbian monasteries in Kosovo?” I asked.

“When was that?” Dr. Spiro asked. “I didn’t hear about that!”

“It can’t be!” I said. “The whole world knows.”

Dr. Spiro was quiet. Then he replied slowly: “We’re praying for our Serbian brothers. That’s all we can do to help them. Albania was always a Christian nation in spirit. When the Turks arrived, many Albanians didn’t stay their ground and converted to Islam to avoid taxes or make careers. Do you know how the Albanians strengthened their position in Kosovo? The Serbs showed firmness in their faith, and Kosovo was the cradle of their religion and a symbol of their nation. Then the Turks sent Albanian renegades there, who took state positions, power and money. Kosovo ceased to be Orthodox, and became an outpost of Islam.”

 Clearly they’re handing out MD/PhDs to imbeciles over there

What the ‘FCUK’ WAS THIS????

Came accross this journalistic ‘jewel’ , crafted by a two bit Rus journalist describing Albanians the most territorially voracious, metaphorical jew-thiefs, of the Balkans. It appears that the inhabitants of the metaphorical ‘Third Rome’, while bringing us Siberia right next door, wish to further blacken our name.

 ’A third rate Roman’ should be reminded that when one is invited as a guest by the ‘tribal Catholic pontiff’ of the country, one better learn them ‘tribal’ mores before they bite one in her arse.

Nuk duket aspak pervers dhe fyes. Autori duket se i ka bere ‘detyrat e shtepise’ para se te botonte.

Citat nga fjala e priftit thirrur me rastin e ‘perkthimit’(konvertimit) te pare mysliman ne fshat:

Pse, o shqiptarë, e keni kaq të lehtë të mohoni fenë e parë? Mohoni për para, apo mohoni
nga frika? Mohoni nga padija, apo mohoni nga varfëria? A e keni pyetur veten pse nuk keni pasur kurrë shtetin tuaj, pse nuk keni pasur kurrë shenjtorët tuaj, pse nuk keni akoma libra në gjuhën tuaj, pse nuk keni shkollat tuaja dhe pse nuk keni flamurin tuaj? Jua them unë pse. Sepse ju nuk e keni besuar Krishtin. Atë e keni pranuar si një nënshtrim ndaj perandorive që ju kanë qeverisur. E keni pranuar fenë
si të ishte një taksë shpirtërore, së cilës mund t’i shmangesh me dredhi. Perandoritë, deri ditën kur ra
Kostandinopoli, ishin të krishtera dhe ju ishit të krishterë. Tani perandoria juaj është myslimane dhe ju po mbani radhë në Islam. Ju bëheni me fenë e pushtuesit tuaj dhe prandaj nuk do keni kurrë shtetin tuaj sepse kur pushtuesit të ikin, ju do të bëheni me pushtuesin e ri.

In praise of heresy: Truth, knowledge, law

My attraction to all things heretical, and conversely my revulsion to all kind of orthodoxy, is well known to my friends. Today, I  was surprised and pleased to read in the official word of Albania’s Academy of Sciences, that the first ever ‘albanian-style’ personal name recoded in history is associated with heresy (Leka, a Bogomil leader)

Heretics, while savaged by established religious hierarchies, made an indelible impression on the local populus who always saw them as bearers of a higher standard. Starting with the Arian heresy, and then graduating into the Bogomil one, the Albanians have shown to be not very loyal to either Vatican n\or Constanstinople. Indeed, so tenuous were their ties to these religious capitals, that a large majority of Albanians saw it fit to take on the religion of the Ottomans rather then pay higher taxes.  The Ottomans too came bearing heretical gifts in the form of the muslim tariqas of the Bektashi and Halveti.

The Bektashi are of particular importance to the Albanian history as they produced the finest nationalistic elements, and softened the blow of dogmatic islam where they took root.  Disguised as monks, Bektashi missionaries spread their values, which if upheld today, would certainly prevent Albania from succumbing into its current predicament. Truth, Knowledge, and the Law are the 3 pillars on which Bektashi worldview rests.

Veritas, Sapienza, Lex! Words truly worthy of being inscribed in a national seal.

More display of Greek hubris

Greece as a punching bag
By Alexis Papachelas
for Kathimerini

Could it be that Greece is not the punching bag of the region, after all? We grew up amid stories portraying Greece as the persecuted nation, the perennial victim that suffers one diplomatic blow after the other.

Outsourcing the ‘management’ of Albania

The thesis of some former spooks of Albanian Sigurimi is that US has made a huge blunder by outsourcing the ‘management’ of Albania to its NATO ‘ally’ Greece. Considering the current bitterness of the US-Greek climate it remains to be seen whether this, if ever true, will remain so.

However, looking the language of the article below, the thesis of these former Sigurimi operatives is not that far fetched

Foreign ministry on Greek-Albanian relations

Foreign ministry spokesman George Koumoutsakos on Tuesday stated that Greece
has hailed the invitation for NATO membership extended to Albania in the most formal way through Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis and Foreign Minister Dora Bakoyannis. He made the comment in response to a question on bilateral relations, following Albania’s accession into the North Atlantic alliance.

He added that this is a positive development for bilateral relations and the
region in general, clarifying that over the past few years there have been no
shadows in the good neighborly relations between the two countries and the
bilateral issues they are concerned with are administrative and technical in
nature.

 

Gerdeci dhe perplasja Greko-Amerikane

nga Kastriot Myftaraj

Ngjarja e Gërdecit ishte, tekefundit, zgjerimi në Shqipëri i Luftës Greko-Amerikane që u zhvillua në tryezat diplomatike në Bukuresht, ishte praktikisht «Pearl Harbour» grek në Shqipëri, një diversion i dhunshëm ndaj interesave amerikane në Ballkan, në këtë rast në Shqipëri. Kur SHBA e bënë të qartë se me gjithë atë çka ndodhi në Gërdec do ta mbështesnin hyrjen e Shqipërisë në NATO, atëherë grekët vunë në veprim atë që mund të quhet Plani B grek, për të penguar futjen e Shqipërisë në NATO. Ky plan konsiston në atë që Greqia të mos miratojë në nivel të institucioneve të saj ftesën që iu bë Shqipërisë për të hyrë në NATO, ose të mos ratifikojë zgjerimin e Traktatit (NATO është një organizatë me bazë një traktat) me Shqipërinë si vend të ri anëtar. Kjo nuk është asfare një gjë e çuditshme, derisa Greqia nuk ka ratifikuar ende Marrëveshjen e Stabilizim-Asocimit mes Bashkimit Evropian dhe Shqipërinë dhe nuk ka njohur as pavarësinë e Kosovës.

Best darn TV show ever!

I have been mesmerized by Ronald Moore’s reinterpretation of that 80s stinker “Battlestar Galactica”, and it is with some disappointment to see it end only after four seasons. Never have I seen a sci-fi show so full of life, and magnetic mysticism.

I invite those who are seekers to see themselves in the trials of these humans in search of mystical Earth(led out of quasi Mormon Kobol by the Adamas, which in hebrew means ‘earth’), and to stand in awe of machines finding and articulating religion. Deus ex Machina has never been explained better.

P.S Kudos to Canada for being the staging ground
