Meanwhile, Greeks Are Celebrating...
A short trip across the sea from the debacle occurring in Cyprus and it appears the tension is rising up in Greece once again. It is well known that Golden Dawn 'nazi' party won a surprising and disconcerting number of parliamentary seats at the last election, and the massively unstable size of Greece's youth unemployment continues to spell trouble; but, now Greece's most popular sport - soccer (football) - is infected by the increasingly nationalist fervor. As Fox reports, national soccer player Giorgos Katidis has been banned for life from playing for Greece after giving a Nazi salute while celebrating a goal this weekend. Cited as "a deep insult to all victims of Nazi brutality," the striker took to twitter (@GiwrgosKatidis) to proclaim his innocence of the meaning of the gesture (you decide in the image and clip below) - right arm extended and hand straightened - adding that he detests fascism. The question now is - when does the Cyprus soccer team play next? as it seems the peripheral European nations are starting to wake up to the Union's reality and the haircut is the next catalyst.
Accident? Ignorance? Or a simmering nationalist fervor?

Zieg hi y'all!
when the world goes down the drain it swings right then left, right then left until its finally flushed
Nazi beastiality ?
Love his stomach tat. "Get Rich"
Greek nazis don't really bother me. It's the Illinois nazis that I can't stand.
Yeah that never made sense. The IL leader of them was actually a jew.
Jewish Defense League likes to keep that on the DL
He looks more like a MS-13 than a Nazi to me...-
looks to me like he was just raising his arm in excitement. but who the hell is offended by that anyway other than just about every central banker?
The Greeks have not fully cooperated with the Eurocrats, so now the nazis have won.
Everybody happy?
The irony here is that the Nazi party was a SOCIALIST party, and that's what the European Union is turning into thanks to the boys in Brussels.
Wait, are you saying that the Eurocrats, essentially fascist centralizing Germanics, are opposing the nazis, essentially fascist centralizing Germanics??
And that is the entire political spectrum we get to pick from?
In that case I think there should be a bi-partisan compromise.
The lesson, as always: NEVER offend teh Joos.
look at the savings being realized by this new E/Z pass due process system.....
no warrants, juries, judges, or other stupid wastes....assume, accuse, acost...hey, is that pop tart a gun? no..yes it is..done
nazi salute ? no..yes it is...done
drone that guy (and whoever else deserves it for being near the target)? yes...done
shit, from their point of view, their making money....
So really he should just adjust his salute to something more neo-NATO-ish ... and carry on per normal.
if you notice...the top photo is actually photoshopped, no doubt in the video, but the photo has been altered
Yeah, definite photoshop. Where are the guys with the black jackets in the still photo? He's standing stationary in the still, but in the vid he is running. Good observation.
If only he had been holding a bag of Doritos aloft with a chest tatoo that said "Budweiser". The new pope would placed him on the road to sainthood.
The new pope might prefer a different kind of gesture.
I would think he was giving the nazi salute. Notice in the film clip how he was running and then when he got to the section of the crowd he wanted to be in front of he tried to stop running.
Anyone knows you don't run around when you try to salute. Ever see anyone running around giving a " regular army type" salute? No you alway stop and stand at attention. That was what he was trying to do before he was swarmed by his teammates. He was attempting to stop and give a proper military salute. He got the hand and arm motion all down pat.
The big question would be- who was in that section of the stadium crowd that he ran over to and attempted to salute? Was it the golden dawn party member season ticket section? Was it his 1st grade teacher? Was it his mom?
The real question is: Why in the 21st Century is it anybody's business how a person chooses to wave to their fan base?
Just imagine if he scratched his armpit or gave a one finger salute. The horror!
Maybe he was going to recite the Pledge of Allegiance as originally written.
..I wish the Nazis running Illinois now were as nice as Hogans Nazis or Jake and Elwoods Nazis.
And if I was approaching them on their bridge to collectivism..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ukFAvYP3UU
AIPAC and the ADL are more nazis than the Illinois nazis.
Jewish self hatred?
Excellent Blues Brothers reference!
Too true! That Rahm guy just turns my stomach.
No no it is obvious he dislocated his elbow and was trying to snap it back into place.
Meaningless.
MSM grasping at straws. Straw man.
Deflecting interest. Hey! Look over there! Don't look at Cyprus and the banks.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Mario is just printing up some more... er umm ... Receipts!
Nah, it's Greeks are Nazis, Indians are rapists etc time
Hey. He's got the same belly tattoo that I have.
Any country who's most popular sport is soccer deserves to fail.
as opposed to the US pageant of preening closeted homosexuals-baseball?
But...but...A-rod boned Madonna, didn't he?
no one knows who was really "on top" in that relationship.
If you check under the hood, Madonna might have a dick... & that 'A-Rod' is actually without one...
...or American 'football' that's just 3 hours of commercials and 1 hour of fat guys on steroids bumping into each other
...or basketball where a group of guys with sub 70 IQ run around dunking a ball into a hoop while thrash talking in a strange language
it's ebonics
Good second language to know if you ever find yourself at a Chuch's Fried Chicken on the south side of Chicago.
Actually, it's just 11 minutes of action; rest is just .... well, just stuffs. And they get paid millions of dollahs.

Weren't these idots complaining about Germany and it's Nazi atrocities in Greece? It's coming, it truly is.
Send him to Cyprus, and give him the keys to a bulldozer!
Das Lied der Deutschen!
this is a roman salute then often used by numerous patriotic (called by jews 'nationalitsic') movements including most of Eastern Europe countries between WW for instance...
The same salute was used by American school children before Hitler...then it became somewhat less popular for some reason...lol.

My my my...the "state" of our government education system ;-)
Priceless. That was a new one for me.
You're welcome sir.
Further reading would be, one Francis Julius Bellamy. You might be surprised what you find there...kinda puts "national socialism" into a, ummm...whole new perspective ;-)
scary. "has the added value of being true" unfortunately. i will be watching the "goings on" in the Middle East VERY closely.

Research about the Bellamy brothers is enlightening...

Still used in Portugal and Brasil, at least - except for when one unit, in the politically hot year of 1975, decided to do it in a way more akin to the feelings of those days and had to redo it again.
See that flag of Brasil ? It says : "Ordem y progresso ".
Ordem e Progresso - that's Brazil's national motto, but it's from Auguste Comte's positivist motto (L'amour pour principe et l'ordre pour base; le progrès pour but), and is there since the foundation, in 1822...: http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordem_e_Progresso
Bingo
LOL that picture blew my mind.
jk
he should have just went on an anti-Catholic Church rant and the media never would have said a word.
Now he's going to have to perform 200 hours of 'community service' [helping LasVegasDave clean Sheldon Adelsons pool] to grovel his way back into the League...
How true.
Barely a week and they've already started to smear him.
He was known as 'The Leader of the Opposition' to the Peronist Kirchners in Argentina, something that's got to frighten the Commies of the world more than a little given John Paul II 's resounding successes.
I don't like to make predictions, but here goes anyway.
The Catholic Church is going to make biggest comeback imaginable as this debt crisis unfolds.
For example in Italy as the government has reneged on it's promises and people go hungry in the streets, it was the Catholic Church that stepped in and started providing aid immediately.
In my experience it takes organization, capital, and authority to pick up the slack when a complex system goes down and I can only think of one true rival to the European governments in this regard.
Have a nice Sunday Otto
Deus caritas est.
Peronsim is another soft form modelled on the Italian original.
Even the Bread and Circuses are breaking down.
Great observation. When the bread and circuses fail, it will be all over for the Euro and the action will be in the streets.
Europe has humungous psychic energy invested in football. When that party is over, all of the focused energy has to go somewhere. My prayer is that whoever winds up at the head of that parade has a good heart and their shit together. It will be the biggest social and economic change on the continent since WWII.
This will be like ancient Byzantium and modern Egypt, pro and anti regime clubs. Wir sind keine Fußballfans...
Maybe... It could also devolve into semi autonomous neighborhood gangs. Access to resources may redefine politics to local geographies.
the nation state wasn't good enough for them, so good riddance
We're all Soccer Hooligans now.
Great observation that even the Breac and Circusus are breaking down.
A life time ban looks like political correctness going too utterly insane!!!
A tragic misunderstanding. That is the Department of Homeland Security greeting.
I'm sure Janet Napolitano's crotch hund will junk me for this.
"Crotch Hund" made me spew coffee. First time you've managed that without visual aides.
Follow me on twitter, you'll spew plenty: @williambanzai7
Maybe it's the roman salute?
In any case who cares?
How are his basketball skills? Dennis Rodman is looking for players in North Korea...
But Draghi said the OMT rules were clear....
A 20-year old football player whose action was of unbeknown meaning to him. Colour me both shocked and awed.
Nice ink btw, nothing expresses better a "fuck the herd" attitude, like mangaesque bicep imprints and navel-stamped 'life mottos'.
Kinda like da marines claiming not to know about da SS. Stupid or Stupid? You tell me.
http://drjohnrobertson.blogspot.com/2012/02/nazi-ss-us-marines-and-historical.html
What's all the fu$$ about? I'd simply return the greetings.
Hitlergruß...or Merkelgruß
Fuck free speech.
Oh, too late.
Hmm. Well, I suppose I'd let an employee go if he gave Nazi salutes in the workplace. Then again, the player here seems to obviously be giving a Roman salute to make known his support for increased Greek nationalism (which has been predicted 1 gazillion times on this site and should be no surprise). The Mediteranean nations I'm sure still have huge respect for the Roman legions that crushed opposition for centuries and wish to emulate it. Not that terrible, as the US has been emulating the Romans for centuries.
your masters love fascism.
Looks more like a stiff arm high five fail to me..........
Another clueless euro elite shithead, celebrating a sporting accomplishment with a hated political gesture.
He should beg forgiveness from all Greeks and Europeans who suffered under that salute. His players union should require him to visit every Greek and European holocaust site so that he can see for himself what that salute meant to millions who sufered while living under that salute.
People should have the right to be dumbasses.
At least that way you know where they stand.
hated political gesture? by the jewish global establishment, sure. but who else?
What an ignorant question. Your knowledge of world history must be astounding for you to come up with such pearls of wisdom. Let me help you out by giving you a partial answer.
Go to Greece, Italy, Russia, Eastern Europe, Itheopia, etc. and ask what the meaning of that salute is. Ask people to take you to the sites where that salute was practiced so that your limited empathy, knowledge and understanding can be educated
Greece, Italy, Eastern Europe & Ethiopia have ALL been FUCKED UP THE ASS by your beloved Jewish banksters. Then again, who in this world isn't being gang raped by these Jewish terrorists?
you forgot the /sarc off at the end
Perhaps you should take a few minutes to educate yourself on where that salute came from:
http://rexcurry.net/
Better off to send him to Gaza or the West Bank for this purpose, no?
'His players union should require him to visit every Greek and European holocaust site' - hmmm a swim in the old pool at Auschwitz wouldn't be a bad experience, might prove enlightening to some around these parts of ZH. Unfortunately I don't know the full details of the story given how the Australian Government wasn't keen to allow David Irving over for a visit.
Well, it was the game winner.

National Front Disco
As David Bowie would say, they just caught him midway through the movement of making a hand wave gesture. On a more serious note Hayek's Road to Serfdom has been in the back of my mind these days and I've often wondered what would happen if indeed Hayek was right and the Nazi's were just ahead of the curve in regards to the end game of soul-crushing bureaucracy. Conflict in Europe was rather momentous with just one group of Nazi's, what if there were simultaneous revolutions throughout all of Europe resulting in new revolutionary, militaristic ( due to the conflict required for them to gain power ), totalitarian states. Something tells me these new entities would not necessarily get along.
Iran Soccer Stars Face Public Lashing After Celebratory Butt-Grope

haven't we seen enough, just ban soccer already. ban gesturing too.
some one finds it offensive somewhere. and speech, what about that,
more offensive gesturing.
.
there was a Mexican soccer player had a famous straight arm gesture ...

what is he saying? ban it.
obviously a gang sign
Meanwhile, Greeks value to the EURO shrinks by the second....
Waddayameen?
They just contributed 5 or 6 Billion Euros to bail out Cyprus.
How?
Via Bank of Greece, according to first reports. 4-5B more accurate.
Bayern Munich will sign him before the bank holiday is ended
Bayern München was founded by jews and engaged in acts of resistance during the 1930s:

Life ban is a bit too harsh for 20-year-old. He just raised his hand and now his career is ended?
Greek unemployment rate just rolled over to 60%...
His career and ability to make a living by playing for a club team have not ended. That is as it should be. His employment is governed by an employment contract between himself and his club. An employment contract that will be upheld by Greek and European Union employment laws.
The career that ended and should be ended by the Greek people, is his ability to represent them in International competitions, while playing for the combined "Greek" team. To represent your country is a privilage granted to only a few. The rest of us have a right to expect decent behaviour while you represent us. If you dont understand this, you understand nothing.
You know that "national" teams don't represent countries, they represent whatever sports federation clubs are affiliated to (and that those are private organizations, just like most central banks)? They're only "national teams" in the sense that when there were no foreign players yet they actually represented their national championships and clubs.
and I'm sure you're aware that all teams are "owned" by their financial sponsors, aka corporations in amrka, despite the team colours, flags, kit, etc.
sports is about allegiance, about cheering for a side - it's a learned behaviour, it trains the mind in a way of thinking, hence their alignment with "nations" and funding by corporations.
for the record, I don't think he was giving a "nazi salute" - having lived in various euro-peon countries and experienced the fanaticism of soccer fans first hand, including the skinhead factions, if he was giving a nazi salute, that would have started from an arm across his chest, jerked into arm extended, fingers pointed.
when acknowledging or celebrating a goal, score, etc. the players often run to their fans in the stands and extended arms are a kind of "oooh yeah!!!!! it's for YOU!!!" salute, an "I did this, we rock!!!" team + fan bonding moment.
if he was "nazi" in europe, he'd have a #1 skin cut, not a trendy hair salon do. . .
Depends on what country and sport you're talking about - most around the world are still financed by their fee paying supporters. Sport (traditionally) is just a (salutary) social bonding past-time; showbiz turns it into what's called, for a reason, a distraction - it makes you lose grip with reality.
There's no such thing as a nazi salute, same way as there's no such thing as a nazi symbol - they usurped it all, none of it belongs to them or their "culture" - period.
I wanted to be an engineer
He just greeted the troika representatives in the VIP section of the stadium. They wouldn't have understood that they were meant if he had just waved his hand like a normal person.
:D
He should just be glad he only received a lifetime ban. His form was so bad that Hitler would have executed him.
Banned for life for that? Wow ! that's an over reaction. Suspended ok since they have to do something but ban for life is to far.
Good news everyone
Buffett Reaps $102 Million as Dimon Gets Dividend Raise Warren Buffett’s cash hoard will pile up $120 million faster each year and Jamie Dimon will get a $1.85 million raise now that JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM), Wells Fargo & Co. (WFC), American Express Co. (AXP) and U.S. Bancorp are boosting payouts.its funny how a picture can change your perception of something.......i just watched the video and it looks nothing like the picture
I tend to agree with you. The video makes it seem possible that it wasn't a nazi salute. I don't know anything about this guy. I'm assuming they have other evidence that he supports the nazis? Otherwise, the video alone doesn't seem like enough evidence.
'Tyler' getting his panties in a twist over a 'nazi' salute. Hey 'Tyler', sack up, you pussy.
Let this be a lesson to you youngsters.. do not be too expressive in this brave new world.
The power elite have taken society to a precarious level and can no longer afford or tolerate controversy.
Voula Papachristou and Giorgos Katidis had to learn this the hard way.
Just shut up, perform and eat your peas.
I'd have turned it up to eleven and 'put one finger on each hand up', screw the 'elites' for there ain't a man among them as they hide behind others to do their battles on this side of the curtain.
He was holding up a 32 ounce soft drink. Some wise guy photo-shopped the cup out.
Bloomberg?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Looting personal bank accounts, banning popular soccer players, what's next?
Those whom the gods wish to destroy, they first drive mad.
arrow up You think he needs a rai$e
So what are they afraid of?
What race is most comprised of Banksters?
white folks
He should just use the secret handshake like the joo bankers do.
oh noes he's stealing their manas
Let's just cut to the fascist totalitarian chase: I (we) will tell you when to wake up, where to work, for how long and for how much. You will get a day off for the birthday of our great leader. You will handle toxic material if asked for the glory of our state and the greater good. You will sacrifice your family with pride and without hesitation in the cause of building a glorious new world...and you will like it! No objections are possible
Banned for life, for making a political statement. Isn't political repression a favorite passtime of fascists?
If/when you touch anything that a jew can associate with hitler, your life as you knew it is over. Talk to mel gibson about it. Or James Sobran: Romanist (a jew by any other name) Buckley excoriated Sobran for uttering negative words about Israel. Sobran and Buckley were friends till Sorbran wrote bad things about Israel, the 3rd rail in the west.
Only Jews get "holocaust denial" laws wherein those who deny the party line get tossed into jail. Only jews get to say with a straight face and not get laughed off the world's stage that god gave them some piece of land.
Show me god's signature on the title you god forsaken liars!
BTW, the so-called "Star of David" is a normal pagan sign found on many grave sites of non-Judaics throughout history. The star is about as exclusive to jews as the stink on their poop.
Who said he was making a political statement. If he gave an interview where he expressed his appreciation of Nazi ideology, that would make a political statement. In this case, he raised his hand in a gesture after scoring a goal, it resembled a Nazi gesture and cowardly media immediately politicized that. Kid deserved at least an explanation before being banned for life.
There are better ways to get traded to Germany than this.
That salute pre-dates Nazi like everything else they borrowed especially for one who calls themselves the Master race w/o no originality.
I'm sure he can find a spot on the MLS teams.
Judaics are the master race. Only Judaics occupy some position of hierarchy in the west where stupid gentiles are on board with the ideology that God intends Jews to last forever.
I wish the end of no particular race of people including jews. But when, where and how is it that the world can tell God that no matter what this particular race of people does (jews) we command God to maintain his hierarchy of jews on earth? Who the hell has any "right" to exist over any one else? What kind of god forsaken nonsense is that?
I asked that biggoted racist scum sucking Fred Barnes, "Who gives Israel the right to exist?" He laughed in my face and said, "God."
Now I ask right here and right now: Does god give any claim to anyone else (other than jews) for life or land? According to jews: No!
"I will bless those who bless thee; I will curse those who curse thee."
99.9% of western churchianity interpret the above vs. to mean if you touch a jew god will kill you. If you take away Israel from jews god will kill you.
Funny though: when God said this to Abraham, Jacob (God later changed his name to Israel) was not born.
dude?wtf...
The fact that the 100.000 euro deposit garantee wasnt respected is the cornerstone of the story.
Apparently this is a guarantee fit for northern europeans, not darker skinned semi-europeans.
The moneylaundring thing is just Gebbelist propaganda, they should know, its part of their heritage.
Switzerland, Luxemburg,Lichtenstein, no problem there apparently, they speak German.
This is clearly no longer a union, it is cutting edge postmodern postcolonialism.
And it is primarily Nationalist. And Socialist.
The Germans did it again... NationalSocialism must have a deep rooted appeal in that nation's psyche…What more pure form of racism exists other than Judaism? "Even the best of the gentiles deserve only death." And yet this ultra-racist ultra-bigotted ideology is always untouchable. All the world's human beings except the .0000001% (15m) deserve only death? Really?
But, so says The Talmud, Judaics do not deserve death because they have the DNA of some dude named Abraham? Are you kidding me?
And beyond all that, their actual DNA is from NW Turkey! So says the Judaic PhD. Koestler (KEST-ler) in his landmark free online book The Thirteenth Tribe. So according to their own philosophy, Judaics themselves deserve only death!
Till some ZH member posts some race/group/ethnicity of people who teach and preach that everyone else deserves only death because of DNA...sorry, till then, Judaics win that prize of world's worst racists.
Judaism: The worship of the Judaic male as god.
+ 1000
oh come on, aren't ALL religions based on the worship of a man in the image of the believer??
that's what all solo FatherGod religions are about, elevating one man-type over the others to justify wars.
hierarchy, with the One at the top. y'know, like a pyramid.
scheme.
No. Scripture states Christ is God. What happened to Christ? Judaics killed him, that's whap happened (stated black and white 4x in Scripture). They turned his face into hamburger meat. Because Christ removed the racist element from Judaism. The could not tolerate that, so they killed him.
If you act like God, you emulate Christ. But Judaics twist the Scriptures like the lawyers and hypocrites they are, into the belief that you must elevate Jews above others. This is why so-called Christians love the glory of joining the military and fighting wars. Because history and Scripture is interpreted by only Rabbis in the west.
If you act like God, you get crucified like Peter did and all the Apostles except John the beloved.
By supporting Israel, you support the racist, murdering philosophy of the Rabbis who murdered Christ, the worst crime in man's history.
for the record, I don't support any gods, not one of 'em.
and all you're doing is quoting your version of a "god" - there are other "scriptures" that have their versions, which was my point.
many versions, all created to look like the individuals who will worship "Him" - coincidence? or intentional?
Intentional, as the keys to the kingdom of heaven are akin to the holy fiat keyboard of Ctrl+P currently under the command of Bernanake (both are simply a control mechanism to ensure the cowardly [being most civil there and 'I'm having the best of days today' /sarcasm] Jew rules supreme over the 'Gentiles'). Stuff em as I both choose my own keymaster to heaven (Declaration of Arbroath - for as I name my own King I name my representative of 'god' on earth) and shed a tear for what little I lost in the Lake I have since forgotten the name thereof.
the only religion/race I know of that states one particular racial DNA is human and all others are mongrel human/animal mix (goyim) "deserving only death" is Judaism.
What other religion/race is base on such singular foundation of pure racist biggoted ideology? None!
Well, there were these goose-stepping guys in north-central Europe a few decades ago ....
There is no such thing as Fascism .... except that bundle of kindling wood on the reverse of the Mercury dime !
Wow, this feels like Sept 1939 and the invasion of Poland all over again...I hope Frau Merkel locks up those dark skinned, money handling, usurious Jews…ehm sorry..Cypriots to the Nicosia Ghetto and through away the key… Nothing like the scapegoating of dark skinned Untermenschen to satisfy German instincts and win an election...
I don't watch many sports but it certainly looked like he was giving the sign of victory and a field goal that comes naturally to someone that's amped.
Banksters getting scared.
Ironic, as I don't suppose our corporate-fascist oligarchs would like to be acknowledge in any other way...seems quite appropriate except that the confused player doesn't know who he's saluting when he gives that particular "greeting." It is your Masters.
He's merely saluting the Obamas!
