Turkey’s armament follows the path of Nazi Germany #think

Remember when Nazi Germany openly rearmed—building a massive army and navy while Europe watched and hoped it was “only for defense”?

Those forces were never meant to protect. They were built to seize Lebensraum—the “vital space” the Nazi expansionists claimed as destiny.

The same almost identical script is playing out today with Turkey’s expansionist vision.

The rapid naval and military buildup under the Blue Homeland (Mavi Vatan) doctrine is NOT for defense.

It is designed to project power, erase the maritime rights of Greece and Cyprus, isolate Israel and fulfill neo-Ottoman dreams of domination in the Aegean, Eastern Mediterranean, and beyond.

History doesn’t just rhyme. Sometimes it repeats in plain sight.

Who are the Chamberlains of today in Europe and the USA ?

They murdered a medical professional, unlocked her phone using her finger, called her husband, and then began raping her corpse while he watched on a video call.

This is the Islamic Republic.

This is the story of Saleheh Akbari. And the world must know her name.

Saleheh was an operating room technician from Ardabil, Iran. During the January 2026 protests, she and her husband, Ahmad Khodaei, secretly helped protesters who had been wounded by regime forces and were too afraid to go to hospitals, fearing arrest.

They opened their home to the wounded. Saleheh treated them, bandaged their injuries, and helped remove pellets from their bodies.

The regime found out.

Security forces came to their home to arrest Ahmad. They attacked him, beating him with fists, kicks, and electric shocks.

Saleheh tried to protect her husband.

One of the regime’s men pulled out a gun and shot her in the heart.

Saleheh was killed inside her own home.

But even her death was not enough for them.

Her body was taken, along with her phone. Ahmad was arrested and abused.

Then came the part that is almost impossible to comprehend.

According to Ahmad’s testimony, members of the Revolutionary Guards went to Saleheh’s body in the morgue, gang-raped her corpse, and recorded the rape.

They then sent the images to her husband.

Read that again.

They murdered his wife.
They raped her corpse.
They filmed it.
Then they sent it to him to psychologically torture him.

Ahmad broke down. He posted a farewell message to his wife and attempted to take his own life. He survived after being taken to the hospital.

Saleheh Akbari was not armed.
She was not a terrorist.
She was a medical professional trying to save wounded people.

And for that, she was murdered.

Even after her death, the men of the Islamic Republic did not stop abusing her.

This is the Islamic Republic.

This is the root of evil in our world.

The 1,300-year Muslim-Arab slave trade, which began in the 7th century, started long before the transatlantic slave trade (which began in the 16th century and lasted about 350 years). Muslims and Arab traders enslaved millions of people from sub-Saharan Africa and Eastern Europe and committed atrocities that the human mind can scarcely comprehend. In the 1.300 years of Muslim-Arab slave trade, approximately a million Greeks were sold as slaves.

On March 30, 1822, when the massacre in Chios began, the Muslim Turks had clear orders. The Sultan had commanded that all Greek Christians be slaughtered, except for boys aged 3-12 and women from 12 to 40. These would be captured and destined for the slave markets.

42,000 Greek Christians were massacred by the Muslim Turks and 52,000 were sold into slavery.

Young girls were raped publicly in the streets, and newlyweds in front of their husbands, who were then slaughtered. Others were raped in front of their parents, after which the men's genitals were cut off. Women over 40 were set on fire and left to burn alive. Pregnant women had their bellies ripped open and their fetuses pulled out, while small children were thrown forcefully against rocks. The frenzy of the Muslims was unprecedented.

Many Turkish soldiers cut off the heads of Greek Christians and then licked their swords. With this act, they believed they would earn a place in paradise. Others were hanged from the island's trees for deterrence. Severed human limbs and corpses were scattered on the streets, while the sea had turned red from the blood. The smoke from the burning houses had covered all of Chios, while the flames made the night look like day.Several women from Chios preferred death over dishonor and slavery.

They committed suicide by jumping off cliffs. Some were killed while defending their children, siblings, and husbands. Even among those who were captured, some died on hunger strike.Destitute women and children from the island were crammed into ships and transported to the markets of Smyrna and Constantinople, where they were sold as slaves at humiliating prices.

By May 1, 1822, over 41.000 slave ownership documents, known as "teskerés", had been issued in Chios. According to the French-language newspaper of Smyrna, Spectateur Oriental, by May 10, duties had been paid at the Smyrna customs for 40,000 slaves. The priest Welsh from the English embassy in Constantinople recorded what he saw in those days at the city's slave market:

"The Turks treated the women from Chios with utmost contempt. They examined them, groped them like butchers do lambs, and bought them for 100 grosia to 3 pounds per head. About 500 women from Chios were sold in the fish market."

The tragic events of Chios shocked Europe and America. For many weeks, the European press reported daily information and descriptions about the fate of the inhabitants, the massacres, the plunder, and the sale of women and children in the slave markets.

Korais writes in a letter to Varvakis:

"Imagine that you see Christ on the Cross, drenched in His blood, and calling out to you these paternal words: My son Varvakis, many thousands of captives baptized in my name are in danger at this hour of renouncing me and embracing the abominable religion of Mohammed. Behold the time, baptized in my name, beloved son, to save your baptized brothers from the Turkish defilement."

The horrific images of the crimes of the Muslims against the Greek Christians were never erased from the collective memory of Europeans. Great European artists were so shocked by the descriptions that they created important works inspired by Chios.

The famous painting by Delacroix is exhibited to this day in a prominent position at the Louvre. Victor Hugo's poem titled "The Greek Child" is a moving record. But the most famous sculpture of 19th-century America also stands out, named: the "Greek Slave."

The sculptor Hiram Powers began carving it about twenty years after the tragic events. The statue depicts a young woman, nude, bound with chains. In one hand, she holds a small cross on a chain.

Powers himself describes the subject of his work as follows:

"The Slave has been abducted by the Turks from one of the Greek Islands during the Greek Revolution, the history of which is known to all. Her father and mother, and perhaps all her relatives, have been exterminated by her enemies, and she alone was kept alive, as a treasure that could not be thrown away. Now she is among barbarian strangers, under the pressure of the full recollection of the catastrophic events that led her to this state. She stands exposed to the gaze of people she abhors, and awaits her fate with intense anxiety, which is mitigated by her trust in the goodness of God. Gather all these sufferings together, and add to them the strength and resignation of a Christian, and there is no room left for shame."

Why Did the Vikings Call the Roman Empire “Grikkland”?

Medieval Western Europeans referred to the Byzantine Empire as “the Empire of the Greeks” because they rejected its claim to be the true Roman Empire, a title also asserted by the Holy Roman Emperors. The Vikings, however, had no such political agenda—yet they independently arrived at a strikingly similar name.

Around thirty 11th-century Swedish runestones commemorate warriors who travelled to Constantinople, many serving in the elite Varangian Guard of the Emperor. Yet these inscriptions do not say they had journeyed to the Roman Empire. Instead, they repeatedly state that they had gone to Grikkland—“the land of the Greeks.”

This is a remarkable testimony from impartial outsiders. The empire officially called itself the Roman Empire, and its citizens proudly called themselves Romans (Rhomaioi). Yet the Viking warriors who lived and served there identified it above all with its Greek language, Greek culture and Greek people.

They served the Roman Emperor in Miklagarðr—Constantinople, “the Great City”—but when they returned home, they told their families they had come back from Grikkland.

Sometimes, the most revealing testimony comes not from those who lived within a civilisation, but from those who experienced it as impartial foreigners.

More than six weeks after the Oxford Union promised to publish my June debate speech, the full video is still being withheld — while extracts of their own footage of the debate have appeared elsewhere, heavily edited.

I filmed my own speech with the Union’s knowledge and agreement as an insurance policy and backup. So I’m publishing it myself. They must release the entire debate.

[Homer Pavlos @HomerPavlos]

Homer himself gives the etymology of the name in the Odyssey but you have to know Greek. The etymology of the name Odysseus (Οδυσσέας) comes from the verb odyssomai (ὀδύσσομαι = to get angry, to hate, to be displeased) and from the word odyne (ὀδύνη = pain, sorrow). His grandfather, the hero Autolycus, gave the name to the young Odysseus. From the form odyssamenos (ὀδυσσάμενος), the name Odysseus means "the one who caused or suffered anger/hatred."

❗Συνέντευξη: «Η μεγαλύτερη καζινοποίηση στην ιστορία της Ελλάδας»

🔸Το καλοκαίρι του 2015 η κυβέρνηση #Τσίπρα διόρισε τον Αντώνη Στεργιώτη πρόεδρο στην Επιτροπή Εποπτείας και Ελέγχου Παιγνίων (ΕΕΕΠ), τη ρυθμιστική αρχή για τα τυχερά παιχνίδια. Αποστολή του ήταν να βάλει κανόνες στη βιομηχανία του τζόγου.

🔸Στη συνέντευξή του στο #ReportersUnited ο κ. #Στεργιώτης εξιστορεί πώς λιγότερο από έναν χρόνο αργότερα η κυβέρνηση ΣΥΡΙΖΑ σταμάτησε το έργο του και τον απομάκρυνε από τη θέση του - «γιατί απλούστατα είναι πάρα πολλά τα λεφτά».

🔸Ο κ. Στεργιώτης αποκαλύπτει τις πιέσεις από το ιδιωτικό μονοπώλιο του #ΟΠΑΠ (τότε συμφερόντων Δημήτρη #Μελισσανίδη, πλέον #Allwyn) και τις διαχρονικές ευθύνες των κυβερνήσεων #ΝΔ και #ΣΥΡΙΖΑ που οδήγησαν στην καζινοποίηση της χώρας.

🔸Η συνέντευξη Στεργιώτη έγινε στο πλαίσιο της έρευνας του #ReportersUnited για τη βιομηχανία του τζόγου, σε συν��ργασία με το @investigate_eu.

🔸Ο #τζόγος είναι παντού: στην τηλεόραση, στο ίντερνετ, στα λεωφορεία, στο κινητό μας. Αφού τα ΜΜΕ χρηματοδοτούνται μαζικά από τις εταιρείες τζόγου, πώς να δαγκώσουν το χέρι που τα ταΐζει;

🔸Το #ReportersUnited δεν παίρνει λεφτά από εταιρείες τζόγου ούτε επηρεάζεται από τους επιχειρηματίες που έβγαλαν υπεραξίες εκατομμυρίων χάρη σ’ αυτόν ή σήμερα δραστηριοποιούνται στον χώρο.
