Durin the Ottoman period, the Muslim Turks, in order to terrorize the Greeks, impaled and roasted alive Athanasios Diakos. But, they gave him a chance: "Will you become a Turk, Diakos? Will you change your faith? Will you pray in the mosque and abandon the church?"

He replied to them: "Go away, you and your faith, may you perish, you renegades! I was born a Greek, and as a Greek I shall die."

According to eyewitness accounts from the time, two Turks lit a fire next to the stable and placed an iron grate and a large copper cauldron filled with oil over it. Then they lifted Diakos, still bound as he was, and made him sit on an old wooden stool. They raised his legs. The Turks began to mock him, asking him various questions. For every negative nod, they drove nails into his feet. Afterwards, they took the boiling oil and first poured it over his bare feet.

When they saw that he did not react, they tore his clothing and began pouring it on his back and chest. He groaned silently in pain, and the soldiers, under orders not to kill him, used needles to burst the blisters that had formed on his skin from the boiling oil. This continued for hours, until the next morning.

Exhausted as he was, they dragged him through the town to execute him. His execution was carried out in public view with the permission of Halil Bey, so that the Greeks would be warned about what would happen to anyone who dared to revolt. Testimonies state that even Diakos’s mother was present at his torture.

After tying him backwards onto a saddle with his legs spread apart, the executioner began pushing the sharp tip of a wooden stake into his groin area and then slowly drove it deeper, going all the way through his body until it emerged near his right ear. The executioner moved carefully, as he had orders not to kill him quickly; with every push of the stake, Diakos’s screams confirmed he was still alive.

Once the executioner had finished his work, the Turks tied the body tightly with the stake so that the skin would not tear, and they propped him up, almost upright, against a tree.

As he was dying, it is said that he uttered these sorrowful verses: "Look at the time Death has chosen to take me, now, when the branches are blossoming and the earth brings forth grass."

Halil Bey gave the order to light a fire beneath him and to turn him slowly, so that he would be roasted alive like an animal. After many hours of torture, the Greek chieftain passed away on April 24, 1821. However, this had the opposite effect from what the Turks had expected.

When the Greeks learned of his story and his martyrdom, they were filled with even greater rage and strength to liberate themselves from the barbarous Muslims and Islam.

Athanasios Diakos is one of the most important heroes in the Greek history.

Every Woke Reich podcaster who called Trump a pedophile and said Israel was a pedophile haven has nothing to say about the Pakistani Muslim grooming gang report out of the UK…

It tells me everything I need to know about who funds the Woke Reich and their push to destroy America.

BREAKING: Parents are showing up to counter teachers union lies about school choice in Arizona.

This is how we stopped them from getting enough signatures to block school choice in 2022.

The teachers union monopoly must be stopped.

A teen boy on puberty blockers goes to a urologist because he was wetting his pants in class

Also his pee was strawberry colored from blood and skin flakes

Boy and his mom ask if the incontinence and bloody urine might be side effects from puberty blockers

The transition-friendly urologist says nah, transition drugs are totally safe, the problem is you're holding in your pee *too much*

A few months after stopping the puberty blockers, the boy stopped peeing blood

The urologist was charged this year for allegedly having thousands of pornographic pictures of children

NEW: Professional baseball team 'York Revolution' turns on their players after they were forced to forfeit after the players refused to wear LGBT jerseys for 'Pride Night.'

The Pennsylvania team threw their players under the bus for refusing to put on the gay uniforms.

"To be clear, this action by the players is completely inconsistent with our vision as the Most Welcoming Place in York," the team said in a statement.

The team's forfeit comes after the MLB issued a warning after San Francisco Giants players wrote Bible verses on their gay hats.

Glad to see players are finally standing up to this radical cult.

Vlad the Impaler was the OG Border Patrol Agent of Romania. They called him ‘ruthless’ and ‘vicious,’ but he cared about his people and protected their borders.

Flash Shelton, also known as “Squatter Hunter" fights squatters by moving in with them and making the situation so uncomfortable that they leave, helping homeowners retake control.

Flash Shelton was grieving his father and trying to sell his mother's vacant California home when he got the call. Strangers had moved in.

Police told him it was a civil matter and there was nothing they could do. So he figured out how to become their squatter.

Shelton signed a lease from his mother to establish legal tenancy, drove 19 hours, camped outside waiting for the squatters to leave, then went in, secured the back door, installed cameras, and waited for them to return.

When they came back they found him already inside, legally. That method became the foundation of his entire business.

Once hired, his team secures a short-term lease from the homeowner, moves in alongside the squatters, and makes daily life uncomfortable, taking over common areas, playing loud music, and maintaining constant presence, until the intruders choose to leave voluntarily.

"What I used to save my mom's house, I am now using to help homeowners across the country," he said. "I've built a whole team ready to out-squat the squatters."

The legal genius of it is simple, squatters exploit the same tenant protection laws that protect genuine renters. Shelton just decided to use those same laws against them.

Our 10 days in the Midwest come to a close. Now we move on to Texas for the next part of our great US World Cup Road Trip 🇺🇸

Things I’ve learnt along the way:

- Your weather is not to be messed with
- Your sunsets are stunning
- Your beer is fantastic
- Your barbecue is delicious
- Your scenery is beautiful
- Folk have STRONG opinions on barbecue and gas prices
- Biscuits and gravy are definitely
NOT scones and mushrooms

But above all… the people are amazing, true salt of the earth folk and remind me of back home in Yorkshire (a high compliment)

Thank you Midwesterners 🤍
