On this day fifty-eight years ago (May 10, 1956) the British colonial
administration in Cyprus hanged two young Greeks, Michalakis Karaolis and
Andreas Demetriou (aged 23 and 22, respectively). Both men, who fought for
the liberation of their land, went to their death with dignity and without
fear.
We live at a time during which the notion of self-respect is devalued for
many and the idea of freedom limited to those that happen to agree with
them. Furthermore the evocation of the Greek identity, is denied by effete
internationalists, perverted by Nazi sociopaths, and deranged
Anarcho-Communist fanatics.
Karaolis and Demetriou, and the others murdered by the British occupation
forces in that corner of Hellenism, died so that the rest of us maintain
our self-respect, to live and produce in the context of an identity in
which the human being is at the center, and the roots of which stretch back
at least three millennia.
