The Council of Europe has decided to change History. To distort it, it is equalizing the victims with the aggressors, the heroes with the criminals, the liberators with the conquerors and the Communists with the Nazis.
The Council of Europe considers the biggest enemies of Nazism, i.e. Communists, are criminals and indeed equal to the Nazis! And it even worries and protests because, although the Hitlerites were condemned by all of the international community, nothing as such has happened yet with the Communists.
For this reason it suggests that this condemnation take place now by the Plenary Session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe that will take place on January 24-27, 2006.
Meanwhile it worries because "public awareness of crimes committed by totalitarian communist regimes is very poor". And also, still the "Communist parties are legal and active in some countries, even if in some cases they have not distanced themselves from the crimes."
In other words, the Council of Europe is announcing in advance the future persecution of European Communists, that have not yet made a recantation, such as those demanded in the past by the henchmen of the Gestapo and torturers at the camp of Makronisos.
Perhaps tomorrow they shall decide to outlaw the Communist Parties, half-opening the door to the ghosts of Hitler and Himmler to pass, who, as is well known, begun his career by outlawing the Communist Parties and by locking up the Communists in the death camps.
However, in the end, they were drowned by the very blood of their victims, those close to 26 million dead in the Communist Soviet Union ands so many other thousands of Communists who gave their lives, as it also happened in Greece, by putting themselves at the front line of the national resistance movements all across Europe.
However, those gentlemen of the Council of Europe, in their wish to resurrect methods condemned by the consciousness of History and the Peoples, they come second, since they have already been overrun by their big brother, the USA, that exterminates entire peoples, using Hitler-like methods, as is the case in Iraq, which they have kept in ruins, full of American prisons, where thousands of innocent victims are tortured daily in a horrific and obvious manner.
For this great crime against humanity, as well as for the contemporary Hitlerite torture camp at Guantanamo, the Council of Europe has absolutely nothing to say.
So, how can anyone really believe that they are honestly concerned about humans rights, when even in their own home, Europe, they have allowed the CIA planes, filled with political prisoners without any rights, driven them to special prisons in order to be tortured?
Such citizens of Europe as the members of the Council are, cannot be prosecutors.
At the Court of History, it will one day pass sentence on the countess crimes committed by their big brother, from Vietnam to Chile and from South America to Iraq – they will be on trial on account of toleration, if not outright collaboration to these terrible crimes.
Unfortunately today I am obliged to speak more in the name of the dead than in the name of the living. Therefore, in the name of my dead Communist Comrades, those that have gone through the Gestapo, the death camps and the execution sites, in order to defeat Nazism and celebrate Liberty, I have but one word to address to these "gentlemen":
