Criminal US Intelligence Networks of Impunity in Greek Academia(12/2023)
PART I
In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia & PM K.Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually,it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International & European Studies course load & turned all obligatory courses in 2nd,3rd,4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I.Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean,f.Rector & f.Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki,Greece.
DAP-UoM (New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education)had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds(at least)have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books & simply copy info & answers during the exams(!)without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms & disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university. The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me & “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated & the way they target those who refuse to be their tools
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Critical questions need answers
1. Is impunity a “local”(institutional failure),national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret & I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International & European Studies & the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt?This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this odd visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP & a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police?Why didn’t the only witness to the incident testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens & the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. On speaking out about corruption & clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick & should seek help).To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE . I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis & USEmbassy Athens? How did he use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network)to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency & those exposing clientelist networks?His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization)is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way
national dimension related to respect for minority rights, freedom of expression
and the rule of law. Kemalism in Turkey set the ideological, constitutional and
organizational framework of looking at the Kurds as the “other”, the “enemy
within”. The concepts of “turkishness” and “pure race” led to the adoption of
mass suppression policies that did not allow space for accommodating the con-
flict outside a non-zero-sum framework. The tandem use of military and eco-
nomic means along with the implementation of the South Easter Anatolia Proj-
ect created an environment of economic asphyxia for the Kurds and led to their
forceful displacement. The domination of Kemalist ideology practically imposed
the application of a “coercive state” governance system and magnifi ed not only
the Kurdish humanitarian crisis but also Turkey’s internal security challenges.

This paper will look into the side-effects of lack of meritocracy and the application of clientelistic practices in transitional societies and less mature democracies that lack pluralistic features. In these countries democratic practices need to be consolidated institutionally and within a normative-utilitarianist mode of governance in order to bring optimum results. Through an overt or covert spec-trum of utilitarianism, lack of meritocracy will be investigated against a number of independent varia-bles such as brain drain, democratization, social stratification and clientelistic practices based on pow-er relations between patron and clients. Implicitly these relate to individual rights and social progress. The approach will seek causation patterns for the application of favouritistic practices through anal-yses of social and political given. In a causal relationship one event precedes another or the second event appears unlikely to have happened without the first even having occurred. The approach adopt-ed is utilitarianist, normative, formulated through a twofold functionalist and liberal prism

1. Is impunity a “local”(institutional failure),national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret & I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International & European Studies & the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt?This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this odd visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP & a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police?Why didn’t the only witness to the incident testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens & the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. On speaking out about corruption & clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick & should seek help).To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE . I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis & USEmbassy Athens? How did he use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network)to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency & those exposing clientelist networks?His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization)is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way

Abstract: Conflict management involves a multilayer, inter-party, action-reaction process in order to eradicate or deal with friction within specific space and time environments and dimensions. In theoretical and practical terms it aims at reshaping or reformulat-ing negative input and eventually turning it into positive or manageable ones. The process is nominally going to produce non-zero-sum games and allow parties to adopt workable stands, positions and cognitive attitudes through among, other things, behavior changes and cognitive re-evaluations. Conflict management de-mands action in a complex situation most often within a limited time dimension. As set by a number of scholars in the past the aim is not to seek a perfect solution but a workable solution and this is of paramount importance

Criminal US Intelligence Networks of Impunity in Greek Academia(12/2023)
PART I
In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia & PM K.Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually,it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International & European Studies course load & turned all obligatory courses in 2nd,3rd,4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I.Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean,f.Rector & f.Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki,Greece.
DAP-UoM (New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education)had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds(at least)have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books & simply copy info & answers during the exams(!)without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms & disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university. The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me & “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated & the way they target those who refuse to be their tools

Abstract: The active return of Russia into international affairs took a decisive turn in the 21st century as the country expressed its willingness to support its national interests and retain or expand its sphere of regional influence. Russian foreign policy has been built on an axis that bears operational elements from Defensive and Offensive Realism. Foreign policy choices have been driven mainly but not exclusively by specific security considerations stemming from NATO’s policy to include states that traditionally and historically belonged to the Soviet sphere of influence. A process of explaining and understanding Russian regional foreign policy is bound to lead to strategic considerations related to the issue of polarity in the world system, the need to formulate an axis against global multifaceted threats and the importance of Russia to European security. A defensive and offensive realism comparative analysis may provide the basis of scrutinizing Russian foreign policy, while directly and indirectly pointing out alternative ways of approaching the country in a realistic way.
Historically, transatlantic relations have been formulated under specific systemic circumstances with the aim of dealing with a distinctive military threat. Through a Realist perspective, this paper looks into the structural limits of equal partnership of a strategic partnership between a hard and a soft power. By conceptualizing actual, material and cognitive, elements of power through a differentiated descriptive and prescriptive spectrum and their relative effectiveness in a state-centric, anarchic and antagonistic international system, the paper, overtly or covertly, makes the distinction between instrumental and elemental power, as well as their importance in forming and successfully advancing images of world order within a strategic partnership and their respective persuasive credibility.

Abstract: The long European integration process has been operationalised on two strategies: the strategy of integration and the strategy of cooperation. The former refers to a maximalistic plan with federal orientation based on the deepening of the integrative process, while the latter implies a minimalist framework of cooperation amongst sovereign states. The two trends reflect preferences articulated by Europeanists and Atlanticists. The evolutionary of the process has been heavily affected not only by the Cold War conditions but also by the proposed strategies built on less or more divergent ideological and strategic orientations. Their roots may be traced back to three visions of Europe expressed by Gaullism, Atlanticism and Europeanism.

Abstract: European security has historically been linked to the expectations-capabilities gap of the European Union (EU) as well as the EU’s role as a normative power reflected by the conscious choices made by European leaderships. Treaties have been the defining parameters of the operational ability, cognitive potential and institutional capacity of Europe to play a normative role in world politics. The Arab Spring phenomenon has illustrated the actual potential of the EU to act in unity. It has also shown that when inherent European idealism clashes with the realities of international politics, securitized idealism becomes the only viable choice. The concept bears a value-fact (security) oxymoron and is based on the need to balance security needs with the desire to spill over democracy in the Arab world.
Abstract: EU-Russian relations have been a defining parameter of European security during the post- Cold War era. The axis of cooperation has been defined not only by EU-Russian common goals but also the ability of the US to derail this emerging partnership. The recent crisis in Georgia has illustrated Russia’s determination to defend its national interests

Abstract: The aim of this article is to structurally and operationally link geography to foreign policy. Greek foreign policy will be used as a case study in order to define reasons for policy differentiation between Greece and its EC/EU partners. The analysis builds up-on a state-centric assumption of state behaviour according to which a state’s foreign policy is determined by geography, culture, threat [mis]perceptions, domestic politics as well as its systemic features such as structure, interactions amongst players, the input and out-put ratio of the local subordinate system as well as its self-stabilizing potential. The analysis is formulated on the assumption that foreign policy choices are dependent on cultural elements, and that foreign policy cannot be formulated in a vacuum of domestic interests. To support the view that geography and system structure define state behaviour and affect international outcomes, the paper uses the two-security zone typology of M.Singer and A. Wildavsky that operationally and structurally differentiates Greece’s environment from that of its EC/EU partners. The emergence of the post-Cold War Balkan subordinate system and its characteristics will provide a causational approach to the adoption of self-help policies that may distance the country from its European partners. To look into the causes of this trend in Greek foreign policy in the 1990's, its policy adjustment margins in a zone of turmoil will be compared to the Western European zone of peace and within Greece’s systemic operational framework (Balkan subordinate system).

Criminal US Intelligence Networks of Impunity in Greek Academia(12/2023)
PART I
In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia & PM K.Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.

national dimension related to respect for minority rights, freedom of expression
and the rule of law. Kemalism in Turkey set the ideological, constitutional and
organizational framework of looking at the Kurds as the “other”, the “enemy
within”. The concepts of “turkishness” and “pure race” led to the adoption of
mass suppression policies that did not allow space for accommodating the con-
flict outside a non-zero-sum framework. The tandem use of military and eco-
nomic means along with the implementation of the South Easter Anatolia Proj-
ect created an environment of economic asphyxia for the Kurds and led to their
forceful displacement. The domination of Kemalist ideology practically imposed
the application of a “coercive state” governance system and magnifi ed not only
the Kurdish humanitarian crisis but also Turkey’s internal security challenges.

This paper will look into the side-effects of lack of meritocracy and the application of clientelistic practices in transitional societies and less mature democracies that lack pluralistic features. In these countries democratic practices need to be consolidated institutionally and within a normative-utilitarianist mode of governance in order to bring optimum results. Through an overt or covert spec-trum of utilitarianism, lack of meritocracy will be investigated against a number of independent varia-bles such as brain drain, democratization, social stratification and clientelistic practices based on pow-er relations between patron and clients. Implicitly these relate to individual rights and social progress. The approach will seek causation patterns for the application of favouritistic practices through anal-yses of social and political given. In a causal relationship one event precedes another or the second event appears unlikely to have happened without the first even having occurred. The approach adopt-ed is utilitarianist, normative, formulated through a twofold functionalist and liberal prism

Abstract: Conflict management involves a multilayer, inter-party, action-reaction process in order to eradicate or deal with friction within specific space and time environments and dimensions. In theoretical and practical terms it aims at reshaping or reformulat-ing negative input and eventually turning it into positive or manageable ones. The process is nominally going to produce non-zero-sum games and allow parties to adopt workable stands, positions and cognitive attitudes through among, other things, behavior changes and cognitive re-evaluations. Conflict management de-mands action in a complex situation most often within a limited time dimension. As set by a number of scholars in the past the aim is not to seek a perfect solution but a workable solution and this is of paramount importance

Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia & PM K.Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually,it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International & European Studies course load & turned all obligatory courses in 2nd,3rd,4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I.Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean,f.Rector & f.Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki,Greece.
DAP-UoM (New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education)had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds(at least)have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books & simply copy info & answers during the exams(!)without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms & disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university. The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me & “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated & the way they target those who refuse to be their tools
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Critical questions need answers
1. Is impunity a “local”(institutional failure),national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret & I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International & European Studies & the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt?This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this odd visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP & a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police?Why didn’t the only witness to the incident testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens & the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. On speaking out about corruption & clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick & should seek help).To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE . I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis & USEmbassy Athens? How did he use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network)to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency & those exposing clientelist networks?His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization)is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way
Abstract: The active return of Russia into international affairs took a decisive turn in the 21st century as the country expressed its willingness to support its national interests and retain or expand its sphere of regional influence. Russian foreign policy has been built on an axis that bears operational elements from Defensive and Offensive Realism. Foreign policy choices have been driven mainly but not exclusively by specific security considerations stemming from NATO’s policy to include states that traditionally and historically belonged to the Soviet sphere of influence. A process of explaining and understanding Russian regional foreign policy is bound to lead to strategic considerations related to the issue of polarity in the world system, the need to formulate an axis against global multifaceted threats and the importance of Russia to European security. A defensive and offensive realism comparative analysis may provide the basis of scrutinizing Russian foreign policy, while directly and indirectly pointing out alternative ways of approaching the country in a realistic way.
Historically, transatlantic relations have been formulated under specific systemic circumstances with the aim of dealing with a distinctive military threat. Through a Realist perspective, this paper looks into the structural limits of equal partnership of a strategic partnership between a hard and a soft power. By conceptualizing actual, material and cognitive, elements of power through a differentiated descriptive and prescriptive spectrum and their relative effectiveness in a state-centric, anarchic and antagonistic international system, the paper, overtly or covertly, makes the distinction between instrumental and elemental power, as well as their importance in forming and successfully advancing images of world order within a strategic partnership and their respective persuasive credibility.

Abstract: The long European integration process has been operationalised on two strategies: the strategy of integration and the strategy of cooperation. The former refers to a maximalistic plan with federal orientation based on the deepening of the integrative process, while the latter implies a minimalist framework of cooperation amongst sovereign states. The two trends reflect preferences articulated by Europeanists and Atlanticists. The evolutionary of the process has been heavily affected not only by the Cold War conditions but also by the proposed strategies built on less or more divergent ideological and strategic orientations. Their roots may be traced back to three visions of Europe expressed by Gaullism, Atlanticism and Europeanism.

Abstract: European security has historically been linked to the expectations-capabilities gap of the European Union (EU) as well as the EU’s role as a normative power reflected by the conscious choices made by European leaderships. Treaties have been the defining parameters of the operational ability, cognitive potential and institutional capacity of Europe to play a normative role in world politics. The Arab Spring phenomenon has illustrated the actual potential of the EU to act in unity. It has also shown that when inherent European idealism clashes with the realities of international politics, securitized idealism becomes the only viable choice. The concept bears a value-fact (security) oxymoron and is based on the need to balance security needs with the desire to spill over democracy in the Arab world.
Abstract: EU-Russian relations have been a defining parameter of European security during the post- Cold War era. The axis of cooperation has been defined not only by EU-Russian common goals but also the ability of the US to derail this emerging partnership. The recent crisis in Georgia has illustrated Russia’s determination to defend its national interests

Abstract: The aim of this article is to structurally and operationally link geography to foreign policy. Greek foreign policy will be used as a case study in order to define reasons for policy differentiation between Greece and its EC/EU partners. The analysis builds up-on a state-centric assumption of state behaviour according to which a state’s foreign policy is determined by geography, culture, threat [mis]perceptions, domestic politics as well as its systemic features such as structure, interactions amongst players, the input and out-put ratio of the local subordinate system as well as its self-stabilizing potential. The analysis is formulated on the assumption that foreign policy choices are dependent on cultural elements, and that foreign policy cannot be formulated in a vacuum of domestic interests. To support the view that geography and system structure define state behaviour and affect international outcomes, the paper uses the two-security zone typology of M.Singer and A. Wildavsky that operationally and structurally differentiates Greece’s environment from that of its EC/EU partners. The emergence of the post-Cold War Balkan subordinate system and its characteristics will provide a causational approach to the adoption of self-help policies that may distance the country from its European partners. To look into the causes of this trend in Greek foreign policy in the 1990's, its policy adjustment margins in a zone of turmoil will be compared to the Western European zone of peace and within Greece’s systemic operational framework (Balkan subordinate system).

Criminal US Intelligence Networks of Impunity in Greek Academia(12/2023)
PART I
In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia & PM K.Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually,it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International & European Studies course load & turned all obligatory courses in 2nd,3rd,4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I.Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean,f.Rector & f.Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki,Greece.
DAP-UoM (New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education)had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds(at least)have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books & simply copy info & answers during the exams(!)without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms & disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university. The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me & “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated & the way they target those who refuse to be their tools
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Critical questions need answers
1. Is impunity a “local”(institutional failure),national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret & I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International & European Studies & the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt?This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this odd visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP & a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police?Why didn’t the only witness to the incident testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens & the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. On speaking out about corruption & clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick & should seek help).To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE . I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis & USEmbassy Athens? How did he use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network)to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency & those exposing clientelist networks?His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization)is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way

Από τον Πρόλογο του βιβλίου
Ιδιαίτερη σημασία έχει η αντίληψη περί διεθνούς δικαίου και η ικανότητα του να προστατεύσει επαρκώς τα κράτη. Το διεθνές δίκαιο δεν αποτελεί ένα κανονιστικό, ρυθμιστικό πλαίσιο του εθνικού δικαίου σε διευρυμένη κλίμακα. Όπως επισημαίνει ο Stanley Hoffmann, «το διεθνές δίκαιο αποτελεί μία πτυχή της διεθνούς πολιτικής η οποία αντανακλά με τον πιο χαρακτηριστικό τρόπο τις βασικές διαφορές ανάμεσα στον εσωτερικό και το διεθνή πολιτικό στίβο» . Στο πεδίο της διεθνούς πολιτικής υπάρχουν αναμφίβολα ρυθμιστικοί κανόνες, κανονιστικής υφής προκειμένου να περιορίσουν τη δράση επιθετικών και αναθεωρητικών παικτών, ωστόσο δεν υπάρχουν επαρκείς μηχανισμοί που θα τους αναγκάσουν να συμμορφωθούν. Σύμφωνα με το Morton Kaplan, «υπό το βάρος της απουσίας κεντρικών νομοθετικών οργάνων, η δημιουργική δράση των παικτών μεταβάλλει τη διεθνή κανονιστική δομή» . Η χρήση του όρου «δημιουργική» παραπέμπει σε πολλαπλές μορφές δράσης, συμπεριλαμβανομένων και αυτών που θέτουν σε κίνδυνο την ασφάλεια και επιβίωση άλλων κρατών.
Η αποδοχή των κανόνων διεθνούς συμπεριφοράς που προκύπτουν από το διεθνές δίκαιο έγκειται στην αξιολόγηση τους από τα ίδια τα κράτη και στο βαθμό που θα τους «επιτραπεί» να παρανομήσουν. Η διεθνής εμπειρία παρέχει σειρά τέτοιων παραδειγμάτων που καταδεικνύουν τη σημασία της αυτοβοήθειας (self-help).
Για τους διεθνολόγους τα μεγάλα ζητήματα στο πεδίο της διεθνούς πολιτι¬κής αφορούν ερωτήματα που σχετίζονται με την ασφάλεια, τη διεθνή τάξη, τον πόλεμο και την ειρήνη, τη συνέχεια και τη μεταβολή, την πολικότητα και τον καταμερισμό ισχύος σε επίπεδο διεθνούς συ-στήματος. Στα πλαίσια αυτής της αντίληψης το παρόν πόνημα αναλύει μία σειρά παραμέτρων που αφορούν έμεσα ή άμεσα τη χά¬ραξη στρα-τηγικής, τη διεθνή δράση των κρατών και την αμυντική θωράκιση τους. Στα πλαίσια αυτού του τριγώνου δράσης των κρατικών δρώντων θα ανα¬λυθούν η επιτυχής επίλυση της εξίσωσης άμυνας, οι τρόποι απόκτησης και επι¬λογής οπλικών συστημάτων, οι ποσοτικοί, ποιοτικοί και προσδιοριστικοί παρά¬μετροι που αφορούν τον αμυντικό σχεδιασμό, οι σχέσεις στρατιωτικών και πολι¬τικών ελίτ, η διακλαδική συνεργασία..."

Greek Foreign Policy From the 20th to the 21st Century- Ελληνική Εξωτερική Πολιτική
Μετά τη Μικρασιατική Καταστροφή του 1923 και τη συντριβή της ελληνικής Μεγάλης Ιδέας η Ελλάδα θεμελίωσε την εξωτερική της πολιτική και διπλωματική της δραστηριότητα στην προστασία της εδαφικής ακεραιότητας και της ανεξαρτησίας της χώρας, με στόχο την παγίωση της ειρήνης και την «προαγωγή της συνεργασίας στο ιδιαίτερο γειτονικό περιβάλλον της». Ο στόχος αυτός αποτέλεσε τη γενική κατευθυντήρια γραμμή της ελληνικής εξωτερικής πολιτικής στις επόμενες δεκαετίες μέχρι τις μέρες μας. (. . .) (ΑΠΟ ΤΗΝ ΕΙΣΑΓΩΓΗ ΤΗΣ ΕΚΔΟΣΗΣ)

Η Ευρώπη του 21ου αιώνα αποτελεί ένα θεσμικό επίτευγμα της διακρατικής συνεργασίας και της προσπάθειας ολοκλήρωσης μεταξύ κυρίαρχων κρατών.

Ταυτόχρονα συνιστά έναν γρίφο όσον αφορά την ικανότητα της ΕΕ να αποτελέσει έναν ουσιαστικό πολιτικό δρώντα με παρεμβατική και κανονιστική δράση και ικανότητα προβολής ισχύος σε πεδία εκτός αυτού της οικονομίας. Η ΕΕ οικοδομήθηκε μέσα από διαδοχικά στάδια που αντανακλούσαν τις εκάστοτε προτεραιότητες των ευρωπαϊκών πολιτικών ελίτ και τις συνθήκες σε επίπεδο ευρωπαϊκού συστήματος κυρίαρχων κρατών, αλλά και διεθνούς συστήματος. Σήμερα η Ευρώπη αποτελεί μια δύναμη ειρήνης, ωστόσο αυτό δεν υπερκαλύπτει τις αδυναμίες και ανεπάρκειες της στο πολιτικό πεδίο, την ανάγκη δράσης της ως εξισορροπητικού παράγοντα στο μετα-διπολικό διεθνές σύστημα, αλλά και την αναγκαιότητα να λειτουργήσει ως ένα διαπολιτισμικό και διαθρησκευτικό
μέσο που θα ενισχύσει την ειρήνη και την ασφάλεια σε διεθνές επίπεδο, απαντώντας ταυτόχρονα στις προκλήσεις της παγκοσμιοποίησης.

Η E.E. ως διακριτό σύστημα διακυβέρνησης θα πρέπει να αναλυθεί στα πλαίσια του ευρύτερου πεδίου της πολιτικής επιστήμης. Με τη σειρά της η πολιτική και η άσκηση της μπορεί να αναλυθεί και προσεγγιστεί ως: μία δραστηριότητα, ένας τρόπος διακυβέρνησης, ένας τρόπος εξέλιξης θεσμών και διαδικασιών διακυβέρνησης ή ένας μηχανισμός που θέτει συγκεκριμένους προτεραιότητες, όπως η επίτευξη κοινωνικών στόχων (π.χ. αναδιανομή εισοδήματος), η παροχή δημόσιων αγαθών και η δημιουργία ενός πλαισίου ενίσχυσης της ευημερίας των πολιτών. Η διακυβέρνηση και η άσκηση πολιτικής είναι υπό μία έννοια έννοιες ταυτόσημες. Ως πολιτική ορίζεται "η επιστήμη και τέχνη της διακυβέρνησης", ενώ αντικείμενο της είναι "η μορφή, οργάνωση και διοίκηση ενός κράτους". Η Ε.Ε. αποτελεί κατ' εξοχήν, αλλά όχι αποκλειστικά, πεδίο της συγκριτικής πολιτικής. Στα πλαίσια μίας τέτοιας προσέγγισης αναλύονται "οι ομοιότητες και διαφορές στον τρόπο εκτέλεσης / υλοποίησης συγκεκριμένων λειτουργιών από διαφορετικά πολιτικά συστήματα" που λειτουργούν με βάση μη ταυτόσημες αρχές και παραδόσεις.

Abstract: Greek foreign policy has been affected by two distinctive factors. The first relates to the EU and the institutionalisation process of exercising a Common Foreign and Security Policy. The second relates to systemic parameters defined by immature elements of the south-east Euro-pean subordinate system. Greek choices will be evaluated through the non-abiding dictates of the Treaties and their inability to de-nationalize its foreign policy. The analysis based on Neo-realist elements of a system-driven international behaviour will illustrate that systemic pa-rameters rather than EU policies define choices of the foreign policy agenda.
Introduction: systemic changes and world order
The end of the bipolar world heralded major changes in the international sys-tem. It was a turning point in world history but did not constitute the end of history. Systemic changes are attributed to a reconfiguration of power, processes related to diffusion of power, the collapse of great powers or empires and the eventual rising of powers. Through a Realist prism, theoretically advanced by John Mearsheimer and Kenneth Waltz, these powers either aimed at hegemony (offensive Realism) or at de-fending their status in a hierarchically structured and anarchic international system (defensive Realism). Post-Cold War systemic changes were related to changes in po-larity, opportunities for expansion, power distribution and the nominal rise of Europe as an alternative model of world power (soft, normative power). The end of the ideo-logical division of Europe presented international politics with nominally novel oppor-tunities and challenges for inter-state co-operation amongst former rivals (Clesse, 1994). In terms of institutions building, the transformation of the European political landscape provided the opportunity to establish the blueprint of a cooperative pan-European security regime.
"Intra-Balkan relations were dominated by the non-cooperative security paradigm of interstate relations. As a result, military force became the key determinant of power in zones of turmoil , since the use or threat of use of military force became the axis of exercising foreign policy, in a way that infers to the Clausewitzian concept of conducting politics (war), resulting in the use of force and marginalisation of international law. Approaches to the Balkans have varied and included defining variables such as geography and culture (Voskopoulos, 2001/2002) as well as the intrusive action of powerful out-of-system actors"

Criminal US Intelligence Networks of Impunity in Greek Academia(12/2023)
PART I
In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia & PM K.Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually,it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International & European Studies course load & turned all obligatory courses in 2nd,3rd,4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I.Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean,f.Rector & f.Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki,Greece.
DAP-UoM (New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education)had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds(at least)have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books & simply copy info & answers during the exams(!)without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms & disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university. The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me & “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated & the way they target those who refuse to be their tools
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Critical questions need answers
1. Is impunity a “local”(institutional failure),national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret & I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International & European Studies & the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt?This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this odd visit?

Παρουσίαση
Η "Διεθνής Πολιτική" μετά το 1945 πρωτοκυκλοφόρησε το 1968 και γρήγορα κέρδισε τον τίτλο του κλασικού έργου, παραμένοντας μέχρι σήμερα μια υψηλού κύρους μελέτη της πολιτικής ιστορίας της εποχής μας. Προσέφερε πληροφόρηση, διδαχή και τέρψη σε δυο γενιές πολιτικών επιστημόνων, ιστορικών, αλλά και στο γενικό κοινό. Στην παρούσα, ενημερωμένη και τελευταία, έκδοση προστέθηκε αρκετό υλικό για να παρουσιαστούν οι εξελίξεις της τελευταίας δεκαετίας σε ζητήματα αιχμής όπως η έκρηξη της διεθνούς τρομοκρατίας, οι πόλεμοι στο Ιράκ, το Αφγανιστάν και το Σουδάν, η επιταχυνόμενη ανάδυση της Κίνας και της Ινδίας ως μεγάλων δυνάμεων, οι πολιτικές εξελίξεις στη Λατινική Αμερική, η επέλαση της παγκοσμιοποίησης, ο υπερπληθυσμός, η προς ανατολάς διεύρυνση της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης, η διαιώνιση της αστάθειας στη Μέση Ανατολή και τα βασανιστικά ερωτήματα της επάρκειας στην παγκόσμια προμήθεια πετρελαίου και ενέργειας. Εν ολίγοις, οι ρίζες των προβλημάτων και των αντιφάσεων που κληροδότησε ο 20ος στον 21ο αιώνα εντοπίζονται μέσα στην ιστορία της διεθνούς πολιτικής. Ως βασικό έργο αναφοράς "Η Διεθνής Πολιτική" βρήκε σύντομα τη θέση της στους καταλόγους πανεπιστημιακών εγχειριδίων σε όλα τα μέρη του κόσμου, παρουσιάζοντας μια αξιόπιστη και πολυεπίπεδη ανάλυση των μεγάλων ρευμάτων της σύγχρονης ιστορίας.

THIS CAME AFTER I STARTED PUBLICIZINFG INFO ON THE BIGGEST EVER RECRUITING/INTELLIGENCE CRIMINAL NETWORK IN GREEK ACADEMIA SET UP BY USEmbassy Athens and f. U.S. Ambassador to Greece Geoffrey R. Pyatt! Following this I have been denied access to my LINKEDIN account, MY SOCIAL MEDIA & EMAIL ACCOUNTS WERE COMPROMISED!
Criminal Networks of Impunity in Greek Academia
PART I
In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia and PM K. Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually, it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International and European Studies course load and turned every single obligatory course in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I. Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean, f. Rector and f. Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is worth mentioning that he was acquitted in almost a dozen high profile legal cases (setting NGOs).
DAP-UoM (the New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education) had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds (at least) have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books and simply copy info and answers during the exams (!) without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of the Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay (indicative incidents-everything is documented)
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms and disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated and the way they target those who refuse to be their tools. Had I let him participate in the evaluation process he would have made derogatory comments to justify insufficiency in teaching. This is a common practice for those outside the criminal network. In one case a high-profile university official told me that he had been using this scum to harm and dishonor those who just refused to operate as his puppets.
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Some critical questions that need answers
1. Is impunity a “local” (institutional failure), national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret and I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt? This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this “odd” visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP and a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police? Why didn’t the only witness to the incident didn’t testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens and the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.

I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia and PM K. Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually, it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International and European Studies course load and turned every single obligatory course in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I. Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean, f. Rector and f. Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is worth mentioning that he was acquitted in almost a dozen high profile legal cases (setting NGOs).
DAP-UoM (the New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education) had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds (at least) have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books and simply copy info and answers during the exams (!) without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of the Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay (indicative incidents-everything is documented)
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms and disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated and the way they target those who refuse to be their tools. Had I let him participate in the evaluation process he would have made derogatory comments to justify insufficiency in teaching. This is a common practice for those outside the criminal network. In one case a high-profile university official told me that he had been using this scum to harm and dishonor those who just refused to operate as his puppets.
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Some critical questions that need answers
1. Is impunity a “local” (institutional failure), national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret and I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt? This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this “odd” visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP and a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police? Why didn’t the only witness to the incident didn’t testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens and the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. One more important issue. On speaking out about corruption and clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department (Bitzenis) as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick and should seek help). To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE and my lawsuit is STILL PENDING. I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis and USEmbassy Athens? How did the f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network) to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency and those exposing clientelist networks? His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization) is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way

Criminal Networks of Impunity in Greek Academia, 2024 update
PART I
In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties.

In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia and PM K. Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually, it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International and European Studies course load and turned every single obligatory course in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I. Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean, f. Rector and f. Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is worth mentioning that he was acquitted in almost a dozen high profile legal cases (setting NGOs).
DAP-UoM (the New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education) had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds (at least) have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books and simply copy info and answers during the exams (!) without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of the Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay (indicative incidents-everything is documented)
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms and disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated and the way they target those who refuse to be their tools. Had I let him participate in the evaluation process he would have made derogatory comments to justify insufficiency in teaching. This is a common practice for those outside the criminal network. In one case a high-profile university official told me that he had been using this scum to harm and dishonor those who just refused to operate as his puppets.
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Some critical questions that need answers
1. Is impunity a “local” (institutional failure), national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret and I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt? This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this “odd” visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP and a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police? Why didn’t the only witness to the incident didn’t testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens and the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. One more important issue. On speaking out about corruption and clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department (Bitzenis) as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick and should seek help). To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE and my lawsuit is STILL PENDING. I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis and USEmbassy Athens? How did the f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network) to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency and those exposing clientelist networks? His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization) is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way

URGENT MEMO: On 2/11/2023 ALL MY TWITTER ACOUNTS WERE SUSPENDED.
THIS CAME AFTER I STARTED PUBLICIZINFG INFO ON THE BIGGEST EVER RECRUITING/INTELLIGENCE CRIMINAL NETWORK IN GREEK ACADEMIA SET UP BY USEmbassy Athens. Following this I have been denied access to my LINKEDIN account, MY SOCIAL MEDIAS & EMAIL ACCOUNTS WERE COMPROMISED!
Criminal Networks of Impunity in Greek Academia, 2024 update
PART I
In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia and PM K. Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually, it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International and European Studies course load and turned every single obligatory course in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I. Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean, f. Rector and f. Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is worth mentioning that he was acquitted in almost a dozen high profile legal cases (setting NGOs).
DAP-UoM (the New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education) had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds (at least) have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books and simply copy info and answers during the exams (!) without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of the Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay (indicative incidents-everything is documented)
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms and disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated and the way they target those who refuse to be their tools. Had I let him participate in the evaluation process he would have made derogatory comments to justify insufficiency in teaching. This is a common practice for those outside the criminal network. In one case a high-profile university official told me that he had been using this scum to harm and dishonor those who just refused to operate as his puppets.
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Some critical questions that need answers
1. Is impunity a “local” (institutional failure), national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret and I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt? This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this “odd” visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP and a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police? Why didn’t the only witness to the incident didn’t testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens and the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. One more important issue. On speaking out about corruption and clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department (Bitzenis) as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick and should seek help). To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE and my lawsuit is STILL PENDING. I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis and USEmbassy Athens? How did the f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network) to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency and those exposing clientelist networks? His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization) is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way

I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated and the way they target those who refuse to be their tools. Had I let him participate in the evaluation process he would have made derogatory comments to justify insufficiency in teaching. This is a common practice for those outside the criminal network. In one case a high-profile university official told me that he had been using this scum to harm and dishonor those who just refused to operate as his puppets.
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Some critical questions that need answers
1. Is impunity a “local” (institutional failure), national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret and I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt? This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this “odd” visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP and a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police? Why didn’t the only witness to the incident didn’t testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens and the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. One more important issue. On speaking out about corruption and clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department (Bitzenis) as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick and should seek help). To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE and my lawsuit is STILL PENDING. I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis and USEmbassy Athens? How did the f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network) to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency and those exposing clientelist networks? His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization) is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way
Academic freedom can not be taken for granted when intelligence infiltration corrodes universities and sets up a regime!

Η σχέση αμυντικού σχεδιασμού και χάραξης στρατηγικής είναι αμφίδρομη και πολύπλοκη. Ορθά ο Colin Gray επισημαίνει ότι ο «αμυντικός σχεδιασμός είναι μία αποστολή με συνέπειες» την οποία χαρακτηρίζει η αβεβαιότητα. Αυτό καθώς τίθενται «διαδικαστικά, μεθοδολογικά και οργανωτικά ζητήματα». Επιπλέον καταγράφονται και οντολογικά ζητήματα που προκύπτουν από εννοιολογικές ασάφειες.
Υπό αυτό το πρίσμα τίθεται το κρίσιμο ερώτημα τι συνιστά και τι μη στρατηγικός σχεδιασμός (strategic planning) αλλά και το εύρος της θεματικής του στρατιωτικού σχεδιασμού (military planning).

Criminal US Intelligence Networks of Impunity in Greek Academia(12/2023)
PART I
In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia & PM K.Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually,it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International & European Studies course load & turned all obligatory courses in 2nd,3rd,4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I.Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean,f.Rector & f.Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki,Greece.
DAP-UoM (New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education)had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds(at least)have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books & simply copy info & answers during the exams(!)without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms & disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!

In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia and PM K. Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually, it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International and European Studies course load and turned every single obligatory course in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I. Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean, f. Rector and f. Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is worth mentioning that he was acquitted in almost a dozen high profile legal cases (setting NGOs).
DAP-UoM (the New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education) had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds (at least) have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books and simply copy info and answers during the exams (!) without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of the Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay (indicative incidents-everything is documented)
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms and disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated and the way they target those who refuse to be their tools. Had I let him participate in the evaluation process he would have made derogatory comments to justify insufficiency in teaching. This is a common practice for those outside the criminal network. In one case a high-profile university official told me that he had been using this scum to harm and dishonor those who just refused to operate as his puppets.
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Some critical questions that need answers
1. Is impunity a “local” (institutional failure), national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret and I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt? This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this “odd” visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP and a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police? Why didn’t the only witness to the incident didn’t testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens and the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. One more important issue. On speaking out about corruption and clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department (Bitzenis) as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick and should seek help). To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE and my lawsuit is STILL PENDING. I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis and USEmbassy Athens? How did the f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network) to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency and those exposing clientelist networks? His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization) is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way
Academic freedom can not be taken for granted when intelligence infiltration corrodes universities and sets up a regime!
Ces trois pays sont des démocraties agissant dans une région turbulente où la majorité des régimes sont instables et non démocratiques.

Μετά το τέλος του Ψυχρού Πολέμου η ανάδειξη του Μακεδονικού σε παράγοντα αποσταθεροποίησης της νοτιο-ανατολικής Ευρώπης έφερε εκ νέου στην επιφάνεια τις εγγενείς αδυναμίες του Βαλκανικού υποσυστήματος ασφαλείας: ρεβιζιονισμός, Μεγάλη Ιδέα και αδυναμία δημιουργίας μιας κοινότητας κρατών που αντιμετωπίζουν τις προκλήσεις στο πεδίο της διεθνούς πολιτικής μέσα από win-win προσεγγίσεις. Σήμερα η διαμάχη Ελλάδας – ΠΓΔΜ επανέρχεται στο προσκήνιο με έμφαση από τους Ευρωπαίους εταίρους και τους συμμάχους στο ΝΑΤΟ. Αποτελεί ένα ζήτημα αιχμής για την ελληνική εξωτερική πολιτική και την εθνική ασφάλεια, την στρατηγική διεύρυνσης του ΝΑΤΟ στα Βαλκάνια και την διαδικασία διεύρυνσης της ΕΕ. Η εσωτερική διαμάχη στα Σκόπια δημιουργεί πιέσεις στο πολιτικό σύστημα και τη βιωσιμότητα της πολιτικής σύμπραξης της αλβανικής συνιστώσας. Οι περισσότερο διαλλακτικοί θεωρούν ότι οι εμμονές σε ιστορικούς άξονες προώθησης των συμφερόντων της χώρας και η αρχαιολατρία συνιστούν μια λανθασμένη επιλογή που δημιουργεί δικαιολογημένες αρνητικές αντιδράσεις στην Ελλάδα έναντι ενός επιθετικού αναθεωρητισμού [1]. Ο εθνικισμός οδήγησε τους γείτονές μας σε ακραίες εκφράσεις μιας αναθεωρημένης ιστοριογραφίας [2] που αποτέλεσαν σημαντική παράμετρο του προσδιορισμού της ελληνικής πολιτικής αλλά και της αναθεωρημένης βουλγαρικής πολιτικής έναντι της προοπτικής ένταξης της χώρας στην ΕΕ.

Las relaciones con Grecia y Chipre proveen a Israel con vecinos aliados y la acercan a Europa en términos de seguridad, comercio y dentro del campo de energía. Israel, Grecia y Chipre son las únicas democracias que actúan en una región de estados no democráticos, semidemocráticos y en crisis. Este es un poderoso factor motivador de cooperación.

Η παρούσα εικόνα του διεθνούς περιβάλλοντος αναδεικνύει σοβαρά ζητήματα πολυεπίπεδων και αλληλένδετων πιέσεων στο διεθνές σύστημα, σε κεντρικό και περιφερειακό επίπεδο. Τα ζητήματα διεθνούς τάξης βρίσκονται στο επίκεντρο αναζήτησης ενός πλαισίου αποκλιμάκωσης σε επίπεδα modus vivendi και modus operandi.
Η δυνατότητα πρόβλεψης είναι περιορισμένη, καθώς από το πάζλ της αναδυόμενης διεθνούς τάξης λείπουν κομμάτια που θα προκύψουν από ανεξάρτητες και παρεμβαίνουσες μεταβλητές, στο επίκεντρο των οποίων βρίσκεται η αναζήτηση ισχύος και ο τρόπος που προσεγγίζεται. Ο Joseph S. Nye Jr είχε εμφατικά και δικαιολογημένα επισημάνει ότι “στη διεθνή πολιτική η ισχύς είναι σαν τον καιρό. Όλοι μιλούν για αυτόν αλλά ελάχιστοι τον κατανοούν”.
Η Ευρώπη ως “διττή ένωση λαών και κρατών” λειτούργησε επί μακρόν ως μία υπερβατική ιδεαλιστική ουτοπία που υπερκέραζε θέσφατα της διεθνοπολιτικής οργάνωσης. Ισχυρά και λιγότερο ισχυρά κράτη συνεργάστηκαν εντός ενός –μεταβαλλόμενου από τις εκάστοτε Συνθήκες– θεσμικού πλαισίου που όντως προσέδιδε στα μικρότερα κράτη προστιθέμενη διαπραγματευτική αξία. Η έννοια της “κανονιστικής δύναμης” ήταν εννοιολογική αποτύπωση μίας ουτοπικής για πολλούς προσπάθειας που διαμορφωνόταν σε περιορισμένο κενό εθνικών συμφερόντων, που εξέφραζαν ομάδες πίεσης εντός της ΕΕ.

In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia and PM K. Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually, it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International and European Studies course load and turned every single obligatory course in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I. Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean, f. Rector and f. Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is worth mentioning that he was acquitted in almost a dozen high profile legal cases (setting NGOs).
DAP-UoM (the New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education) had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds (at least) have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books and simply copy info and answers during the exams (!) without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of the Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay (indicative incidents-everything is documented)
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms and disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated and the way they target those who refuse to be their tools. Had I let him participate in the evaluation process he would have made derogatory comments to justify insufficiency in teaching. This is a common practice for those outside the criminal network. In one case a high-profile university official told me that he had been using this scum to harm and dishonor those who just refused to operate as his puppets.
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Some critical questions that need answers
1. Is impunity a “local” (institutional failure), national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret and I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt? This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this “odd” visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP and a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police? Why didn’t the only witness to the incident didn’t testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens and the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. One more important issue. On speaking out about corruption and clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department (Bitzenis) as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick and should seek help). To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE and my lawsuit is STILL PENDING. I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis and USEmbassy Athens? How did the f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network) to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency and those exposing clientelist networks? His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization) is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way

Ο πρώην Αμερικανός υπουργός Εξωτερικών Χένρι Κίσινγκερ, απεβίωσε σήμερα σε ηλικία 100 ετών. Ποιες ήταν οι εκτιμήσεις του για την στάση της ελληνικής κυβέρνησης στο Κυπριακό, όπως διαμορφώθηκε μετά την εισβολή.
Τα σημερινά δεδομένα στο Κυπριακό δεν αποτελούν αερόλιθο εξ ουρανού, αφού η καταγραφή των διπλωματικών προσπαθειών επίλυσης του και οι θέσεις των εκάστοτε διαμεσολαβητών καταδεικνύουν σημαντικά στοιχεία του πλαισίου “προσαρμογής” (διολίσθηση – υποχώρηση – άκαμπτη στάση) Ελλάδας – Τουρκίας – Κύπρου. Σε μία αποκαλυπτική όσο και ενδεικτική ενημέρωση του Αμερικανού προέδρου Φορντ από τον Deputy Assistant for National Security Affairs Scowcroft (Memorandum From the President’s Deputy Assistant for National Security Affairs (Scowcroft) to President Ford, Washington, December 12, 1974) γίνεται σαφές το ποια πλευρά προσαρμόστηκε και ποια διατήρησε θέσεις, οι οποίες μέχρι σήμερα παραμένουν οι ίδιες.
Αντικείμενο της ενημέρωσης (1976) είναι ο τρόπος που θα ξεκινήσουν ουσιαστικές συνομιλίες ανάμεσα σε Ελλάδα και Τουρκία για την επίλυση του Κυπριακού. Ο Κίσινγκερ «έχει την αίσθηση ότι έχει γίνει πρόοδος σε αυτό πεδίο». Μάλιστα επισημαίνει τις μεγάλες υποχωρήσεις που έχει κάνει η ελληνική πλευρά: «Ιδιαίτερα οι Έλληνες έχουν μετακινηθεί σημαντικά στις θέσεις από τον περασμένο Σεπτέμβριο και έχουν θέσει στο περιθώριο όλες τις προηγούμενες προϋποθέσεις που έθεταν όσον αφορά την έναρξη ουσιαστικών διαπραγματεύσεων». Η δήλωση αυτή καταδεικνύει ότι η πλευρά που προέβη σε σημαντικές υποχωρήσεις και μεταβολή της πολιτικής της ήταν η ελληνική.

Η έκθεση του ΟΗΕ (UNDP) που δημοσιοποιήθηκε στις 9/11/2023 επισημαίνει ότι η οικονομία στη Λωρίδα της Γάζας και στη Δυτική Όχθη βυθίστηκε στα προ δεκαετίας επίπεδα, ενώ όλοι οι οικονομικοί δείκτες δείχνουν πλήρη κατάρρευση. Με απλά λόγια δεν υπάρχει μέλλον για ένα μεγάλο μέρος των Παλαιστινίων στη Λωρίδα της Γάζας, ενώ αμφίβολη είναι και η επιβίωση τους στη Δυτική Όχθη. Επισημαίνεται ότι «τον τελευταίο μήνα λόγω του πολέμου 61% των θέσεων εργασίας στη Γάζα και 24% στη Δυτική Όχθη χάθηκαν.

Ένα θεωρητικό πλαίσιο που διαφοροποιείται σημαντικά από τον Πολιτικό Ρεαλισμό είναι αυτό που θεμελιώνεται στην έννοια του «Συμπλέγματος Περιφερειακής Ασφαλείας» (Regional Security Complex Theory). Ουσιαστικά συνδέει τις απειλές με γεωγραφικές παραμέτρους, συνεπώς τα κράτη που συνθέτουν αυτό το σύμπλεγμα συνδέονται μεταξύ τους με όρους πολύπλευρης αλληλεξάρτησης στο πεδίο της ασφάλειας.

"«Το μοντέλο Μπους δεν είναι εφαρμόσιμο στην περίπτωση του Ιράν» υποστήριξε ο Reza Aslan με πρόσφατο άρθρο του στην International Herald Tribune. Η πολιτική Μπους διαμόρ-φωσης ενός παγκόσμιου μονολιθικού οικονομικού και πολιτισμικού μοντέλου βρίσκει αντίθε-τους όσους ιδεολογικά, πολιτισμικά και θρησκευτικά δεν αυτοπροσδιορίζονται ως «δυτικοί». Ο αρθρογράφος, επισκέπτης λέκτορας στο τμήμα ισλαμικών σπουδών του πανεπιστημίου της Iowa, επισημαίνει τους κινδύνους της αμερικανικής πολιτικής και του τολμήματος εκδημοκρατισμού της ευρύτερης περιοχής της Μέσης Ανατολής μέσα από το παρόν μονοδιάστατο πλαί-σιο που δεν αφήνει περιθώριο για εναλλακτικές επιλογές. Όπως ο ίδιος επισημαίνει, «ο αμερικανός πρόεδρος έχει ερμηνεύσει την παρούσα κατάσταση στο Ιράν ως μία σύγκρουση ανά-μεσα στην ισλαμική θεοκρατία και το είδος της δυτικής κοσμικής δημοκρατίας που επιθυμεί να εγκαταστήσει στο Ιράκ. Ωστόσο οι Ιρανοί δεν αντιμετωπίζουν την κατάσταση υπό το ίδιο πρίσμα. Κατά τη διάρκεια των τελευταίων δεκαετιών ακαδημαϊκοί, ριζοσπαστικοί θεολόγοι και φιλελεύθεροι κληρικοί στο Ιράν μάχονται για τον επαναπροσδιορισμό της παραδοσιακής ισλαμικής πολιτικής φιλοσοφίας με στόχο να επαναδιατυπωθεί αυτή με βάση τις αρχές της αντιπροσωπευτικής δημοκρατίας και του κοινοβουλευτισμού και τη λαϊκή συμμετοχή. Αυτό που επιθυμούν οι Ιρανοί είναι η δημιουργία μίας Ισλαμικής δημοκρατίας, δηλαδή μίας φιλελεύθερης, δημοκρατικής κοινωνίας θεμελιωμένης μέσα από ένα ισλαμικό κανονιστικό πλαίσιο».

After the end of the Second World War and the emergence of the bipolar world system the U.S. and Western Europe became strategic allies aiming at defending their political, social and economic model. In the presence of a distinctive enemy, European objections to specific choices and policies were overlaid since American leadership was the only viable strategy on the part of European allies.

In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia and PM K. Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually, it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International and European Studies course load and turned every single obligatory course in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I. Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean, f. Rector and f. Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is worth mentioning that he was acquitted in almost a dozen high profile legal cases (setting NGOs).
DAP-UoM (the New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education) had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds (at least) have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books and simply copy info and answers during the exams (!) without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of the Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay (indicative incidents-everything is documented)
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms and disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated and the way they target those who refuse to be their tools. Had I let him participate in the evaluation process he would have made derogatory comments to justify insufficiency in teaching. This is a common practice for those outside the criminal network. In one case a high-profile university official told me that he had been using this scum to harm and dishonor those who just refused to operate as his puppets.
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Some critical questions that need answers
1. Is impunity a “local” (institutional failure), national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret and I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt? This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this “odd” visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP and a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police? Why didn’t the only witness to the incident didn’t testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens and the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. One more important issue. On speaking out about corruption and clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department (Bitzenis) as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick and should seek help). To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE and my lawsuit is STILL PENDING. I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis and USEmbassy Athens? How did the f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network) to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency and those exposing clientelist networks? His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization) is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way

Criminal Networks of Impunity in Greek Academia
PART I
In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia and PM K. Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually, it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International and European Studies course load and turned every single obligatory course in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I. Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean, f. Rector and f. Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is worth mentioning that he was acquitted in almost a dozen high profile legal cases (setting NGOs).
DAP-UoM (the New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education) had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds (at least) have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books and simply copy info and answers during the exams (!) without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of the Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay (indicative incidents-everything is documented)
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms and disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated and the way they target those who refuse to be their tools. Had I let him participate in the evaluation process he would have made derogatory comments to justify insufficiency in teaching. This is a common practice for those outside the criminal network. In one case a high-profile university official told me that he had been using this scum to harm and dishonor those who just refused to operate as his puppets.
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Some critical questions that need answers
1. Is impunity a “local” (institutional failure), national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret and I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt? This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this “odd” visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP and a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police? Why didn’t the only witness to the incident didn’t testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens and the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. One more important issue. On speaking out about corruption and clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department (Bitzenis) as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick and should seek help). To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE and my lawsuit is STILL PENDING. I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis and USEmbassy Athens? How did the f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network) to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency and those exposing clientelist networks? His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization) is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way

Deutsch-Griechisches Jugendforum: Die Roadmap für den gemeinsamen Jugendaustausch steht Vom 6. bis 8. März kamen etwa 80 Vertreter/-innen von Trägern Internationaler Jugendarbeit, NGOs, Fachorganisationen und Jugendministerien aus Griechenland und Deutschland zum 2. Deutsch-Griechischen Jugendforum in Thessaloniki zusammen. Die Initiative für diese Veranstaltung hatten die für Jugend zuständigen Fachministerien beider Länder ergriffen. Das bunte Spektrum der Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer entwickelte Ideen für den Jugend-und Fachkräfteaustausch und tauschte sich über die Zukunft des Deutsch-Griechischen Jugendwerks aus. Eine verbindende Klammer bildeten dabei die Themen Flucht und Migration. Mit dem 2. Deutsch-Griechischen Jugendforum fand erstmals eine gemeinsame Veranstaltung zum Jugend-und Fachkräfteaustausch in Griechenland statt. Das ist keine Selbstverständlichkeit, denn die durch Finanz-und Flüchtlingskrise geprägte Situation in Griechenland ist weiterhin ernst. Wer sich jenseits des Veranstaltungsprogramms in der Stadt umsah, konnte ganze Ladenzeilen mit leerstehenden Geschäften sehen. Wer den Sozialarbeiterinnen der NGO Arsis zuhörte, bekam einen Eindruck, was es bedeutet, wenn Menschen keinen Zugang zu Gesundheitsversorgung oder nicht mehr genug Geld für Essen haben. Das betrifft nicht nur Flüchtlinge und Migranten im Land sondern auch viele Griechen. Welche Auswirkungen das auf junge Menschen hat, konnte man der Keynote von Dr. Gabriele Schambach von der Sinus Akademie entnehmen: 92 % der jungen Griechinnen und Griechen haben kein Vertrauen in die Politik, 86 % würden am liebsten aus der Europäischen Union austreten-in Deutschland wollen das nur 18 % der Jugendlichen. Auch die Gefahren am rechten Rand wachsen. 32 % der griechischen Jugendlichen meinen, Arbeitsplätze sollten nur Landsleuten vorbehalten sein, in Deutschland glauben das beunruhigende 24 % ihrer Altersgenossen. Die Familie sei ein Bollwerk gegen die Phänomene der Krise, sagte Prof. George Voskopoulos, der über die Lebenswirklichkeit griechischer Jugendlicher referierte. Es sei aber doppelgesichtiges Bollwerk. Eltern mischten sich in alle Aspekte des Lebens ein, vor allem in Ausbildung und Lebensplanung. Auswanderung könne manchmal als Akt der Selbstbestimmung gedeutet werden. Voskopoulos beobachtet aber auch einen Gegentrend: Durch mehr Mobilität und globalisierte Medien entwickelten Jugendliche vermehrt andere Einstellungen. Die nächsten Schritte sind bereits geplant Kann der Jugendaustausch zwischen Deutschland und Griechenland etwas zum Besseren wenden? Die für Jugend zuständigen Fachministerien beider Länder, die das Jugendforum initiiert hatten, sind davon überzeugt. Thomas Thomer, stellvertretender Abteilungsleiter im Bundesministerium für Familie, Senioren, Frauen und Jugend, und Pafsanias Papageorgiou, Generalsekretär für lebenslanges Lernen und Jugend im griechischen Bildungsministerium, legten sich fest. Möglichst noch um Ostern herum soll eine Ressortvereinbarung zwischen den beiden für Jugend zuständigen Fachministerien unterschrieben werden. Die Vereinbarung ist unter anderem die Grundlage für einen gemeinsamen Fachausschuss, dem neben Vertreter(inne)n der Ministerien auch Repräsentant(inn)en der Zivilgesellschaft angehören werden, um den begonnenen Jugendaustausch zu intensivieren. Gegenstand der Vereinbarung wird auch ein Zeitplan für die Gründung und den Betrieb des Deutsch-Griechischen Jugendwerks sein-auf einen Namen möchte man sich noch nicht festlegen. Der Zeitplan ist eine wichtige Voraussetzung, um die Kontinuität der Zusammenarbeit auch nach den Bundestagswahlen im September sicherzustellen. Ein bis zwei Jahre werden noch für die Vorbereitung und den Beginn des Jugendwerks erforderlich sein. In dieser Zeit soll in Thessaloniki von der griechischen Seite ein Büro eröffnet werden, das Austausche unterstützen soll. Und auch auf deutscher Seite ist man der Meinung, dass sich die Zahl von hundert geförderten Einzelmaßnahmen im vergangenen Jahr noch steigern lässt. Thessaloniki ist bereit

The aforementioned Dean, f. Rector and f. Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is worth mentioning that he was acquitted in almost a dozen high profile legal cases (setting NGOs).
DAP-UoM (the New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education) had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds (at least) have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books and simply copy info and answers during the exams (!) without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of the Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay (indicative incidents-everything is documented)
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms and disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated and the way they target those who refuse to be their tools. Had I let him participate in the evaluation process he would have made derogatory comments to justify insufficiency in teaching. This is a common practice for those outside the criminal network. In one case a high-profile university official told me that he had been using this scum to harm and dishonor those who just refused to operate as his puppets.
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Some critical questions that need answers
1. Is impunity a “local” (institutional failure), national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret and I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt? This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this “odd” visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP and a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police? Why didn’t the only witness to the incident didn’t testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens and the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. One more important issue. On speaking out about corruption and clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department (Bitzenis) as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick and should seek help). To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE and my lawsuit is STILL PENDING. I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis and USEmbassy Athens? How did the f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network) to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency and those exposing clientelist networks? His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization) is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way

Criminal Networks of Impunity in Greek Academia
PART I
In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia and PM K. Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually, it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International and European Studies course load and turned every single obligatory course in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I. Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean, f. Rector and f. Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is worth mentioning that he was acquitted in almost a dozen high profile legal cases (setting NGOs).

Είναι επιτακτικό η εθνική στρατηγική να συμπεριλάβει, inter allia, παραμέτρους όπως η χρήση, είτε κυριολεκτική είτε με τη χρήση επικοινωνιακών τακτικών, συμβόλων και συμβολισμών. Αυτό με στόχο να ενισχυθούν επικοινωνιακές διαστάσεις της εθνικής στρατηγικής. Είναι μάλλον σαφές ότι Ελλάδα και Τουρκία χρησιμοποιούν με διαφορετικό τρόπο και ένταση συμβολισμούς που έμμεσα ή άμεσα παραπέμπουν σε στόχους της ευρύτερης στρατηγικής τους.
In international literature on strategy, a qualitative and quantitative gap has been recorded (see B. Buzan/E. Herring) in the importance of symbols in the exercise of foreign policy. It is imperative that the national strategy includes, inter allia, parameters such as the use, either literally or through the use of communication tactics, of symbols and symbolism. This with the aim of strengthening the communication dimensions of the national strategy. It is rather clear that Greece and Turkey use symbols that indirectly or directly refer to the objectives of their broader strategy in a different way and intensity.

2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt? This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this “odd” visit?

2024 Memo on Academic Freedom & Intelligence Networks in www.uom.gr
Criminal Networks of Impunity in Greek Academia
PART I
In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia and PM K. Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually, it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International and European Studies course load and turned every single obligatory course in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I. Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean, f. Rector and f. Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is worth mentioning that he was acquitted in almost a dozen high profile legal cases (setting NGOs).
DAP-UoM (the New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education) had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds (at least) have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books and simply copy info and answers during the exams (!) without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of the Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay (indicative incidents-everything is documented)
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms and disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated and the way they target those who refuse to be their tools. Had I let him participate in the evaluation process he would have made derogatory comments to justify insufficiency in teaching. This is a common practice for those outside the criminal network. In one case a high-profile university official told me that he had been using this scum to harm and dishonor those who just refused to operate as his puppets.
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Some critical questions that need answers
1. Is impunity a “local” (institutional failure), national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret and I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt? This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this “odd” visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP and a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police? Why didn’t the only witness to the incident didn’t testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens and the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. One more important issue. On speaking out about corruption and clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department (Bitzenis) as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick and should seek help). To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE and my lawsuit is STILL PENDING. I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis and USEmbassy Athens? How did the f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network) to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency and those exposing clientelist networks? His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization) is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way

The aforementioned Dean, f. Rector and f. Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is worth mentioning that he was acquitted in almost a dozen high profile legal cases (setting NGOs).
DAP-UoM (the New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education) had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds (at least) have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books and simply copy info and answers during the exams (!) without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of the Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay (indicative incidents-everything is documented)
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms and disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated and the way they target those who refuse to be their tools. Had I let him participate in the evaluation process he would have made derogatory comments to justify insufficiency in teaching. This is a common practice for those outside the criminal network. In one case a high-profile university official told me that he had been using this scum to harm and dishonor those who just refused to operate as his puppets.
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Some critical questions that need answers
1. Is impunity a “local” (institutional failure), national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret and I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt? This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this “odd” visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP and a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police? Why didn’t the only witness to the incident didn’t testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens and the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. One more important issue. On speaking out about corruption and clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department (Bitzenis) as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick and should seek help). To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE and my lawsuit is STILL PENDING. I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis and USEmbassy Athens? How did the f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network) to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency and those exposing clientelist networks? His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization) is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way
Criminal Networks of Impunity in Greek Academia
PART I
In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia and PM K. Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually, it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International and European Studies course load and turned every single obligatory course in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I. Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I.

Abstract
EU peace operations constitute a positive stabilization input of paramount importance to regional and global security. The outcomes reflect the EU’s ability to provide an alternative to traditional single actor involvement and its role as a soft power and peace provider. They reflect the EU’s long tradition of multilateral action, a choice that underpins and explains full support of the established UN world order. This chapter provides the insights of the EU’s operational mode, the cooperation framework with the UN and the logic behind it, its ability to institutionally formalize multilateralism, nominal evaluation criteria and a multicausal assessment based on complementarity with the UN and the EU’s actual capabilities.

Hellenic Studies have been at the forefront of cultural branding of the Greek world and civilization. Its multilayered extensive basis and interdisciplinary character has given it a sense of global scent, of global common good. This module focuses on the future of Hellenic Studies and the way it is still affecting the basis of Western civilization, the organizational core of its value core, ethics and the way democracy and Hellenic humanism are perceived in a heterogeneous world facing multifaceted challenges.

Η ηγεμονία ως αντίληψη στις διεθνείς σχέσεις / The concept of hegemony in international relations
Ως ηγεμονία ορίζεται «η άσκηση ηγεσίας επί μίας μικρής ή μεγάλης ομάδας κρατών, επί ενός πόλου, μικρού ή μεγάλου, του διεθνούς συστήματος». Ως ηγεμονικό κράτος προσδιορίζεται μία χώρα η οποία δύναται να «καθορίσει κανόνες δράσης και να τους επιβάλλει … διαθέτει τη θέληση να δρα με γνώμονα αυτό το πλεονέκτημα» (Brown, 1997, σ. 50).

Το ζήτημα του πολέμου και της ειρήνης έχει διαχρονικά αποτελέσει ουσιώδες ζήτημα (substantive issue) των Διεθνών Σχέσεων και προκαλεί τριβές μεταξύ των διεθνολόγων. Μία από τις αιτίες αυτών των διαφορετικών προσεγγίσεων είναι ο διαχωρισμός ανάμεσα σε επιθετικό (offensive, aggressive) και αμυντικό (defensive) πόλεμο. Η ανωτέρω διάκριση ωστόσο δεν φαίνεται να είναι πραγματική, καθώς περιγράφει ουσιαστικά τις επιδιώξεις και προθέσεις της πολιτικής ηγεσίας. Ως σημαίνον ο πόλεμος μπορεί να έχει τουλάχιστον δύο σημαινόμενα (εδώ στόχους).
George Voskopoulos – Academia Memo 2023
https://gvoskop.wordpress.com/2023/03/17/george-voskopoulos-academia-memo/
2024 update
Criminal Networks of Impunity in Greek Academia
PART I
In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia and PM K. Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually, it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International and European Studies course load and turned every single obligatory course in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I. Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean, f. Rector and f. Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is worth mentioning that he was acquitted in almost a dozen high profile legal cases (setting NGOs).
DAP-UoM (the New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education) had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds (at least) have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books and simply copy info and answers during the exams (!) without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of the Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay (indicative incidents-everything is documented)
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms and disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated and the way they target those who refuse to be their tools. Had I let him participate in the evaluation process he would have made derogatory comments to justify insufficiency in teaching. This is a common practice for those outside the criminal network. In one case a high-profile university official told me that he had been using this scum to harm and dishonor those who just refused to operate as his puppets.
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Some critical questions that need answers
1. Is impunity a “local” (institutional failure), national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret and I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt? This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this “odd” visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP and a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police? Why didn’t the only witness to the incident didn’t testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens and the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. One more important issue. On speaking out about corruption and clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department (Bitzenis) as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick and should seek help). To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE and my lawsuit is STILL PENDING. I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis and USEmbassy Athens? How did the f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network) to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency and those exposing clientelist networks? His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization) is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way

Η δημοσιοποίηση του πέμπτου και τελικού σχεδίου Ανάν φέρνει αναμφίβολα την ελληνική και ελληνοκυπριακή πλευρά σε δύσκολη θέση και μπροστά σε μία κρίσιμη και ιστορική απόφαση. Οι αποφάσεις που θα ληφθούν θα σημαδέψουν τη στρατηγική ισορροπία στο πλαίσιο σχέσεων των Ελλάδας-Τουρκίας-ΕΕ-ΗΠΑ-Κύπρου. Επιπλέον η ελληνική στάση στο Κυπριακό καλείται να τοποθετηθεί και αναλυθεί στα πλαίσια του ευρύτερου συνόλου των ελληνο-τουρκικών σχέσεων.

Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia and PM K. Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually, it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International and European Studies course load and turned every single obligatory course in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I. Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean, f. Rector and f. Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is worth mentioning that he was acquitted in almost a dozen high profile legal cases (setting NGOs).
DAP-UoM (the New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education) had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds (at least) have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books and simply copy info and answers during the exams (!) without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of the Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay (indicative incidents-everything is documented)
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms and disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated and the way they target those who refuse to be their tools. Had I let him participate in the evaluation process he would have made derogatory comments to justify insufficiency in teaching. This is a common practice for those outside the criminal network. In one case a high-profile university official told me that he had been using this scum to harm and dishonor those who just refused to operate as his puppets.
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Some critical questions that need answers
1. Is impunity a “local” (institutional failure), national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret and I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt? This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this “odd” visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP and a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police? Why didn’t the only witness to the incident didn’t testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens and the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. One more important issue. On speaking out about corruption and clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department (Bitzenis) as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick and should seek help). To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE and my lawsuit is STILL PENDING. I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis and USEmbassy Athens? How did the f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network) to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency and those exposing clientelist networks? His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization) is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way

Academia Memo on academic freedom, meritocracy and criminal networks

Criminal Networks of Impunity in Greek Academia
PART I
In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.

The book closely examines the EU’s current strategic, organisational and defence capabilities regarding global, regional and domestic challenges such as terrorism, systemic instability, global order and a number of crucial hindrances to transatlantic cooperation. The chapters offer not only valuable theoretical insights, but also unique perspectives on operational and organisational elements of EU applied policies based on the testimonies of field experts. The combination of theory-based approaches and the demonstration of the EU’s operational capabilities and weaknesses as externalized through its global strategy choices provide an overall evaluation of adopted policies and their effects. This is crucial in a global transition period that will define the EU’s role and its potential to produce desired outcomes through synergies with its strategic allies.

2024 Urgent Memo on Academic Freedom in UoM
Criminal Networks of Impunity in Greek Academia
PART I
In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia and PM K. Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually, it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International and European Studies course load and turned every single obligatory course in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I. Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean, f. Rector and f. Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is worth mentioning that he was acquitted in almost a dozen high profile legal cases (setting NGOs).
DAP-UoM (the New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education) had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds (at least) have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books and simply copy info and answers during the exams (!) without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of the Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay (indicative incidents-everything is documented)
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms and disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated and the way they target those who refuse to be their tools. Had I let him participate in the evaluation process he would have made derogatory comments to justify insufficiency in teaching. This is a common practice for those outside the criminal network. In one case a high-profile university official told me that he had been using this scum to harm and dishonor those who just refused to operate as his puppets.
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Some critical questions that need answers
1. Is impunity a “local” (institutional failure), national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret and I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt? This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this “odd” visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP and a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police? Why didn’t the only witness to the incident didn’t testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens and the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. One more important issue. On speaking out about corruption and clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department (Bitzenis) as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick and should seek help). To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE and my lawsuit is STILL PENDING. I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis and USEmbassy Athens? How did the f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network) to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency and those exposing clientelist networks? His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization) is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way.

Hundreds (at least) have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books and simply copy info and answers during the exams (!) without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of the Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay (indicative incidents-everything is documented)
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms and disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated and the way they target those who refuse to be their tools. Had I let him participate in the evaluation process he would have made derogatory comments to justify insufficiency in teaching. This is a common practice for those outside the criminal network. In one case a high-profile university official told me that he had been using this scum to harm and dishonor those who just refused to operate as his puppets.
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Some critical questions that need answers
1. Is impunity a “local” (institutional failure), national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret and I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt? This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this “odd” visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP and a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police? Why didn’t the only witness to the incident didn’t testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens and the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. One more important issue. On speaking out about corruption and clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department (Bitzenis) as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick and should seek help). To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE and my lawsuit is STILL PENDING. I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis and USEmbassy Athens? How did the f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network) to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency and those exposing clientelist networks? His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization) is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way.

George Voskopoulos – Academia Memo
https://gvoskop.wordpress.com/2023/03/17/george-voskopoulos-academia-memo/
Criminal US Intelligence Networks of Impunity in Greek Academia(12/2023)
PART I
In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia & PM K.Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually,it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International & European Studies course load & turned all obligatory courses in 2nd,3rd,4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I.Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean,f.Rector & f.Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki,Greece.

Eventually,it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International & European Studies course load & turned all obligatory courses in 2nd,3rd,4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I.Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean,f.Rector & f.Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki,Greece.
DAP-UoM (New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education)had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds(at least)have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books & simply copy info & answers during the exams(!)without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms & disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university. The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me & “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated & the way they target those who refuse to be their tools
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Critical questions need answers
1. Is impunity a “local”(institutional failure),national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret & I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International & European Studies & the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt?This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this odd visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP & a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police?Why didn’t the only witness to the incident testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens & the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. On speaking out about corruption & clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick & should seek help).To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE . I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis & USEmbassy Athens? How did he use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network)to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency & those exposing clientelist networks?His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization)is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way

URGENT MEMO: On 2/11/2023 ALL MY TWITTER ACOUNTS HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED. ODDLY ENOUGH THIS CAME AFTER I STARTED PUBLICIZINFG INFO ON THE BIGGEST EVER PALAGIARISM CASE IN GREEK ACADEMIA. A CASE COVERED-UP BY USEmbassy Athens. Following this I have been denied access to my LINKEDIN account.. ACADEMIC FREEDOM & FREE SPEECH AT RISK
Criminal US Intelligence Networks of Impunity in Greek Academia(12/2023)
PART I
In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.

Criminal Networks of Impunity in Greek Academia
PART I
In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia and PM K. Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually, it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International and European Studies course load and turned every single obligatory course in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I. Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean, f. Rector and f. Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is worth mentioning that he was acquitted in almost a dozen high profile legal cases (setting NGOs).
DAP-UoM (the New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education) had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds (at least) have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books and simply copy info and answers during the exams (!) without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of the Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay (indicative incidents-everything is documented)
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms and disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated and the way they target those who refuse to be their tools. Had I let him participate in the evaluation process he would have made derogatory comments to justify insufficiency in teaching. This is a common practice for those outside the criminal network. In one case a high-profile university official told me that he had been using this scum to harm and dishonor those who just refused to operate as his puppets.
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Some critical questions that need answers
1. Is impunity a “local” (institutional failure), national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret and I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt? This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this “odd” visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP and a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police? Why didn’t the only witness to the incident didn’t testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens and the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. One more important issue. On speaking out about corruption and clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department (Bitzenis) as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick and should seek help).

George Voskopoulos – 2023 Academia Memo

2024 update
Criminal Networks of Impunity in Greek Academia
PART I
In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia and PM K. Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually, it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International and European Studies course load and turned every single obligatory course in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I. Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean, f. Rector and f. Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is worth mentioning that he was acquitted in almost a dozen high profile legal cases (setting NGOs).
DAP-UoM (the New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education) had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds (at least) have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books and simply copy info and answers during the exams (!) without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of the Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay (indicative incidents-everything is documented)
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms and disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated and the way they target those who refuse to be their tools. Had I let him participate in the evaluation process he would have made derogatory comments to justify insufficiency in teaching. This is a common practice for those outside the criminal network. In one case a high-profile university official told me that he had been using this scum to harm and dishonor those who just refused to operate as his puppets.
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Some critical questions that need answers
1. Is impunity a “local” (institutional failure), national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret and I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt? This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this “odd” visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP and a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police? Why didn’t the only witness to the incident didn’t testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens and the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. One more important issue. On speaking out about corruption and clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department (Bitzenis) as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick and should seek help). To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE and my lawsuit is STILL PENDING. I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis and USEmbassy Athens? How did the f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network) to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency and those exposing clientelist networks?

This paper looks into the side-effects of lack of meritocracy and the applica-tion of clientelistic practices in transitional societies that lack pluralistic fea-tures. In these countries democratic practices need to be consolidated institutionally and within a normative mode of governance in order to bring optimum results. Lack of meritocracy will be investigated against brain drain, democratization, social stratification and clientelistic practices based on power relations between patron and clients. The approach will seek causation patterns for the application of favouritistic practices through analyses of the social and political given in transitional societies and their relation to outdated practices. In a causal relationship one event precedes another or the second event appears unlikely to have happened without the first even having occurred. The approach adopted is clearly normative, formulated through a twofold functional-ist and liberal prism, yet, as it will be shown, it is also the most cost-effective in order to allow for the faster transformation of the less developed democratically political cultures in societies undergoing political, social and economic transition.

An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Some critical questions that need answers
1. Is impunity a “local” (institutional failure), national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret and I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt? This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this “odd” visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP and a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police? Why didn’t the only witness to the incident didn’t testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens and the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. One more important issue. On speaking out about corruption and clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department (Bitzenis) as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick and should seek help). To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE and my lawsuit is STILL PENDING. I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis and USEmbassy Athens? How did the f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network) to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency and those exposing clientelist networks? His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization) is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way.

Academia Memo on academic freedom, meritocracy and criminal networks
https://gvoskop.wordpress.com/2023/03/17/george-voskopoulos-academia-memo/
Criminal Networks of Impunity in Greek Academia
PART I
In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia and PM K. Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually, it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International and European Studies course load and turned every single obligatory course in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I. Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean, f. Rector and f. Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is worth mentioning that he was acquitted in almost a dozen high profile legal cases (setting NGOs).
DAP-UoM (the New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education) had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds (at least) have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books and simply copy info and answers during the exams (!) without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of the Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay (indicative incidents-everything is documented)
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms and disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated and the way they target those who refuse to be their tools. Had I let him participate in the evaluation process he would have made derogatory comments to justify insufficiency in teaching. This is a common practice for those outside the criminal network. In one case a high-profile university official told me that he had been using this scum to harm and dishonor those who just refused to operate as his puppets.

All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia and PM K. Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually, it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International and European Studies course load and turned every single obligatory course in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I. Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean, f. Rector and f. Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is worth mentioning that he was acquitted in almost a dozen high profile legal cases (setting NGOs).
DAP-UoM (the New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education) had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds (at least) have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books and simply copy info and answers during the exams (!) without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of the Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay (indicative incidents-everything is documented)
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms and disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated and the way they target those who refuse to be their tools. Had I let him participate in the evaluation process he would have made derogatory comments to justify insufficiency in teaching. This is a common practice for those outside the criminal network. In one case a high-profile university official told me that he had been using this scum to harm and dishonor those who just refused to operate as his puppets.
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Some critical questions that need answers
1. Is impunity a “local” (institutional failure), national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret and I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt? This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this “odd” visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP and a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police? Why didn’t the only witness to the incident didn’t testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens and the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. One more important issue. On speaking out about corruption and clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department (Bitzenis) as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick and should seek help). To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE and my lawsuit is STILL PENDING. I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis and USEmbassy Athens? How did the f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network) to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency and those exposing clientelist networks? His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization) is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way

The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP and a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police? Why didn’t the only witness to the incident didn’t testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens and the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. One more important issue. On speaking out about corruption and clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department (Bitzenis) as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick and should seek help). To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE and my lawsuit is STILL PENDING. I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis and USEmbassy Athens? How did the f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network) to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency and those exposing clientelist networks? His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization) is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way
THIS CAME AFTER I STARTED PUBLICIZINFG INFO ON THE BIGGEST EVER RECRUITING/INTELLIGENCE CRIMINAL NETWORK IN GREEK ACADEMIA SET UP BY USEmbassy Athens. Following this I have been denied access to my LINKEDIN account, MY SOCIAL MEDIAS & EMAIL ACCOUNTS WERE COMPROMISED!
2024 update
Criminal Networks of Impunity in Greek Academia
PART I
In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia and PM K. Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually, it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International and European Studies course load and turned every single obligatory course in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I. Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean, f. Rector and f. Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is worth mentioning that he was acquitted in almost a dozen high profile legal cases (setting NGOs).
DAP-UoM (the New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education) had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds (at least) have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books and simply copy info and answers during the exams (!) without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of the Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay (indicative incidents-everything is documented)
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms and disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated and the way they target those who refuse to be their tools. Had I let him participate in the evaluation process he would have made derogatory comments to justify insufficiency in teaching. This is a common practice for those outside the criminal network. In one case a high-profile university official told me that he had been using this scum to harm and dishonor those who just refused to operate as his puppets.
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Some critical questions that need answers
1. Is impunity a “local” (institutional failure), national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret and I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt? This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this “odd” visit?

The aforementioned Dean, f. Rector and f. Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is worth mentioning that he was acquitted in almost a dozen high profile legal cases (setting NGOs).
DAP-UoM (the New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education) had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds (at least) have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books and simply copy info and answers during the exams (!) without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of the Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay (indicative incidents-everything is documented)
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms and disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated and the way they target those who refuse to be their tools. Had I let him participate in the evaluation process he would have made derogatory comments to justify insufficiency in teaching. This is a common practice for those outside the criminal network. In one case a high-profile university official told me that he had been using this scum to harm and dishonor those who just refused to operate as his puppets.
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Some critical questions that need answers
1. Is impunity a “local” (institutional failure), national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret and I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt? This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this “odd” visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP and a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police? Why didn’t the only witness to the incident didn’t testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens and the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. One more important issue. On speaking out about corruption and clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department (Bitzenis) as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick and should seek help). To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE and my lawsuit is STILL PENDING. I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis and USEmbassy Athens? How did the f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network) to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency and those exposing clientelist networks? His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization) is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way.

2024 Urgent Memo on Academic Freedom
Criminal Networks of Impunity in Greek Academia
PART I
In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia and PM K. Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually, it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International and European Studies course load and turned every single obligatory course in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I. Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!

The paper focuses on a number of actors pinpointed as defining parameters of the emerging post-conflict security order in the region. This is of paramount importance, since the Middle East has become the epicenter of the West’s security worries and a main challenge to traditional approaches to international security (i.e the impact of radicalism in state internal security, equilibrium issues, systemic [de]stabilizers).

George Voskopoulos – Academia Memo
https://gvoskop.wordpress.com/2023/03/17/george-voskopoulos-academia-memo/
The first level of analysis builds upon the IR framework of continuity and change. It is scrutinized against defining variables such as
a. Politico-historical legacy of the region
b. The Balkans’ complex role as a geo-space in international relations
c. The way cultural approaches may/may not depict in an accurate way the systemic deficiencies of the peninsula
The analysis focuses, inter allia, on defining criteria of evaluation based on Balkan transformation from “Europe’s backyard” to its enhanced strategic value in the post-bipolar era. The scrutiny will be linked to issues of world and regional order and polarity, namely moving from the bipolar to an emerging multipolar world providing opportunities for planetary and regional powers.
The second spectrum of analysis looks into the role of the Balkans vis-à-vis the process of European integration and more particularly the EU’s role as an international actor disposing of the ability to produce desired outcomes.
This role is tested against a number of qualitative variables such as
1. The EU’s quest for strategic autonomy under the impact of its not being a state actor. This institutional peculiarity defines opportunities but also the limitations of genuinely common strategies and actions.
2. The implications of unitary states’ rivalry (U.S., China, Russia) for influence in the region and the way they may affect the choices of the system’s core actors.
3. The need to operationally, strategically and geopolitically deal with the EU’s motivation-capability gap in a world undergoing a transitional phase, thus, producing uncertainty.
The final evaluation is based on the need to include the region in the European integration process in a way that limits multilayer, interlinked side-effects of the Balkans being
a. The geopolitical “near” abroad of powerful intruding actors and their quest to establish spheres of influence, project geostrategic interests and eventually affect policy outcomes that will define the blueprint of the emerging world order.
Key words: Balkans, systemic analysis, systems and intruding actors, systemic detabilizers, regional order, overlay effect

In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia and PM K. Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually, it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International and European Studies course load and turned every single obligatory course in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I. Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean, f. Rector and f. Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is worth mentioning that he was acquitted in almost a dozen high profile legal cases (setting NGOs).
DAP-UoM (the New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education) had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds (at least) have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books and simply copy info and answers during the exams (!) without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of the Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay (indicative incidents-everything is documented)
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms and disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated and the way they target those who refuse to be their tools. Had I let him participate in the evaluation process he would have made derogatory comments to justify insufficiency in teaching. This is a common practice for those outside the criminal network. In one case a high-profile university official told me that he had been using this scum to harm and dishonor those who just refused to operate as his puppets.
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Some critical questions that need answers
1. Is impunity a “local” (institutional failure), national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret and I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt? This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this “odd” visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP and a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police? Why didn’t the only witness to the incident didn’t testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens and the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. One more important issue. On speaking out about corruption and clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department (Bitzenis) as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick and should seek help). To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE and my lawsuit is STILL PENDING. I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis and USEmbassy Athens? How did the f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network) to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency and those exposing clientelist networks? His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization) is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way

The author’s descriptive approach covers both overt and covert elements that have constituted points of friction in an analysis that implicitly refers to a forceful interdependence framework. The Ukraine crisis has emerged as a critical test that still divides the two sides and sets challenges on multiple, inter-connected levels. Ross Smith’s supports that the crisis gave vent to divergent, if not contending, theoretical approaches to regional security settings and the way interests of the sides involved can be accommodated.

excerpt
Στην περίπτωση της ΠΓΔΜ η κατά κύριο λόγο υποδόρια δράση ακραίων Ισλαμιστών στη χώρα[1] αποτελεί ένα ζήτημα που οφείλει να αξιολογείται με κριτήριο τη σχέση ομάδων Ισλαμιστών στα Βαλκάνια, χωροταξία στην οποία ιστορικά το Ισλάμ έχει παρουσία και πολιτική επιρροή. Ήδη από το 2012 καταγράφηκαν οι πρώτες εμφανείς διενέξεις ανάμεσα σε κύκλους του ριζοσπαστικού Ισλάμ στην ΠΓΔΜ. Η κυβέρνηση των Σκοπίων προσπάθησε να υποβαθμίσει το γεγονός, καθώς αυτό θα μπορούσε να εκθέσει τη χώρα και να αποτελέσει εμπόδιο στην προσπάθεια της να προσεγγίσει χώρες κλειδιά για την τύχη της σε ΕΕ και ΝΑΤΟ.
In the case of FYROM, the predominantly underground activity of extreme Islamists in the country is an issue that must be evaluated in terms of the relationship between Islamist groups in the Balkans, a region where Islam has historically had a presence and political influence. As early as 2012, the first visible conflicts between circles of radical Islam in FYROM were recorded. The government in Skopje tried to play down the event, as it could expose the country and become an obstacle in its attempt to reach out to countries key to its fate in the EU and NATO.
Criminal US Intelligence Networks of Impunity in Greek Academia(12/2023)
PART I
In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia & PM K.Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually,it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International & European Studies course load & turned all obligatory courses in 2nd,3rd,4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I.Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean,f.Rector & f.Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki,Greece.
DAP-UoM (New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education)had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds(at least)have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books & simply copy info & answers during the exams(!)without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms & disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university. The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me & “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated & the way they target those who refuse to be their tools
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Critical questions need answers
1. Is impunity a “local”(institutional failure),national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret & I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International & European Studies & the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt?This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this odd visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP & a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police?Why didn’t the only witness to the incident testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens & the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. On speaking out about corruption & clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick & should seek help).To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE . I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis & USEmbassy Athens? How did he use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network)to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency & those exposing clientelist networks?His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization)is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way
Η απομόνωση του Κατάρ δεν θα πρέπει να εκληφθεί ως αερόλιθος που έπεσε από τον ουρανό. Η πρόσφατη επίσκεψη του Αμερικανού Προέδρου Ν. Τραμπ ουσιαστικά είχε ανάψει το πράσινο φως για την αποστολή σαφούς μηνύματος προς τη χώρα. Αυτό καθώς υπάρχει η βεβαιότητα ότι αποτελεί κράτος σπόνσορα της διεθνούς τρομοκρατίας. Η διπλωματική απομόνωση του Κατάρ είναι η δεύτερη τα τελευταία χρόνια, αφού το 2014 η Σαουδική Αραβία, τα ΗΑΕ και το Μπαχρέϊν [1] είχαν αποσύρει τους πρέσβεις τους για διάστημα οκτώ μηνών.

Qatar's isolation did not come out of the blue. The recent visit of American President N. Trump had essentially sent a clear message to the country. This as there is certainty that it is a state sponsoring international terrorism. Qatar's diplomatic isolation took place twice in recent years, after Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain withdrew their ambassadors for eight months in 2014.

The terrorist attack in Manchester demonstrated once again the effect of blind hatred and religious intolerance. The goal was both substantive and symbolic. On the one hand, young children were targeted, a choice that highlights the brutality of jihadists and their intent to maximize human suffering. On the other hand, it clearly aimed to attack the Western way of life, while creating a climate of insecurity in the West.

The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP & a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police?Why didn’t the only witness to the incident testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens & the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. On speaking out about corruption & clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick & should seek help).To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE . I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis & USEmbassy Athens? How did he use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network)to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency & those exposing clientelist networks?His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization)is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way
Επιχειρησιακά αναμένεται να μεταφέρει το βάρος δράσης στην Ευρώπη και να ενεργοποιήσει άτομα ή πυρήνες πλήττοντας τη Δύση. Υπό το βάρος της απώλειας της εδαφικής βάσης σε Συρία-Ιράκ είναι πιθανό να αναζητήσει νέους τρόπους δράσης και να διευρύνει τα επιχειρησιακά του μέσα.
Πρώτον, εκτιμάται ότι επιχειρησιακά το ΙΚ θα αναγκαστεί να αναζητήσει, ενισχύσει ή και οικοδομήσει πολλαπλά δίκτυα επικοινωνίας μέσω του διαδικτύου. Αυτό προκειμένου να συνεχίσει να διαδίδει την ιδεολογία του τρόμου.
Δεύτερον, λαμβάνοντας υπόψη την καταλυτική απώλεια εσόδων από την εκμετάλλευση πλουτοπαραγωγικών πηγών στη Μέση Ανατολή αναμένεται να αναζητήσει νέους τρόπους χρηματοδότησης της εγκληματικής δράσης του. Αυτό σύμφωνα με Αμερικανούς αναλυτές θα μπορούσε να οδηγήσει στη χρήση «εικονικών νομισμάτων» (virtual currencies). Η χρήση τους θα γίνει μέσω ηλεκτρονικών οδών προκειμένου να χρηματοδοτηθούν εγκληματικές δράσεις.
Τρίτον, η εμφάνιση και διάδοση της ιδεολογίας του μίσους από πλευράς ΙΚ κατέστη εφικτή μέσω της χρήσης ηλεκτρονικών μέσων κάτι που δεν συνέβαινε στην περίπτωση της Αλ Κάϊντα. Αυτό πιθανά να αποτελέσει το πλέον μαζικό όπλο ριζοσπαστικοποίησης μετά την εδαφική κατάρρευση του ΙΚ. Ήδη η Europol έχει επισημάνει ότι το ΙΚ επιχειρεί να διευρύνει τις διόδους επικοινωνίας του μέσω των μέσων κοινωνικής δικτύωσης προκειμένου να στρατολογήσει συμπαθούντες στη Δύση. Αυτή η επιλογή δίνει την ευκαιρία στη Δύση να ενεργοποιήσει αντίμετρα. Το διαδίκτυο αποτελεί όπλο στα χέρια του ΙΚ αλλά ταυτόχρονα και την Αχίλλειο πτέρνα του, αφού η ΕΕ διαθέτει επαρκή μέσα για την αντιμετώπιση του, χωρίς αυτό να σημαίνει ότι η υφίσταται η έννοια της απόλυτης ασφάλειας.
Σε πρόσφατη δημοσίευση στις ΗΠΑ (“What Happens after ISIS Goes Underground”) καταγράφηκαν σειρά αλληλένδετων δεδομένων που θα πρέπει να ληφθούν σοβαρά υπόψη.
Τέταρτον, μετά την αποδόμηση της βάσης του, το ΙΚ θα αναζητήσει νέες χωροταξίες αναδιοργάνωσης του, πιθανότατα στην Ασία, ιδιαίτερα σε χώρες στις οποίες οι κρατικές δομές είναι ανεπαρκείς ή διεφθαρμένες.
Πέμπτον, το ΙΚ αναμένεται να εκμεταλλευτεί θρησκευτικές έριδες προκειμένου να δημιουργήσει ερείσματα στις τοπικές κοινωνίες όπως συνέβη στην περίπτωση της Αιγύπτου και τη μαζική σφαγή Κοπτών Χριστιανών. Η στρατηγική της όξυνσης δια-θρησκευτικών συγκρούσεων θα αποτελέσει ένα από τα όπλα του ΙΚ, αφού η κλιμάκωση τους αποτελεί στρατηγικό στόχο των εξτρεμιστών.
Έκτον, εκτιμάται ότι ελλείψει εδαφικής βάσης το ΙΚ θα επικεντρώσει τη δράση του στην οργάνωση των όποιων δικτύων διαθέτει προσαρμοζόμενο στα μέσα που του έχουν απομείνει. Η επιλογή αυτή θα αυξήσει την παράμετρο α-προβλεψιμότητας και αιφνιδιασμού.
Τα παραπάνω καταδεικνύουν ότι το τέλος του ΙΚ σε Συρία και Ιράκ δεν κλείνει το κεφάλαιο τρομοκρατία αλλά δημιουργεί την ανάγκη επαναπροσδιορισμού της οργανωτικής δράσης της Δύσης έναντι της εκτιμώμενης και αναμενόμενης προσαρμογής του ΙΚ σε νέα δεδομένα.

Islamic State: challenges for the day after
The deconstruction of the Islamic State (IS) geographical base in the Middle East is a strategic objective of the West, especially in Europe, due to its proximity to the region. The final outcome is of particular importance for the EU's internal security, but the geographic eradication of ISIS will not signal the end of terrorism.
Operationally it is expected to shift the focus of action to Europe and activate individuals or cores of radicalism striking the West. Under the impact of losing its territorial base in Syria-Iraq, it is likely to seek new ways of action and expand its operational means.

2024 Memo on Academic Freedom & Intelligence Networks in www.uom.gr
Criminal Networks of Impunity in Greek Academia
PART I
In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia and PM K. Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually, it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International and European Studies course load and turned every single obligatory course in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I. Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean, f. Rector and f. Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is worth mentioning that he was acquitted in almost a dozen high profile legal cases (setting NGOs).
DAP-UoM (the New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education) had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds (at least) have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books and simply copy info and answers during the exams (!) without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of the Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay (indicative incidents-everything is documented)
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms and disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated and the way they target those who refuse to be their tools. Had I let him participate in the evaluation process he would have made derogatory comments to justify insufficiency in teaching. This is a common practice for those outside the criminal network. In one case a high-profile university official told me that he had been using this scum to harm and dishonor those who just refused to operate as his puppets.
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Some critical questions that need answers
1. Is impunity a “local” (institutional failure), national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret and I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt? This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this “odd” visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP and a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police? Why didn’t the only witness to the incident didn’t testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens and the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. One more important issue. On speaking out about corruption and clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department (Bitzenis) as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick and should seek help). To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE and my lawsuit is STILL PENDING. I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis and USEmbassy Athens? How did the f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network) to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency and those exposing clientelist networks? His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization) is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way
Απρίλιος 2016 - 04/2016
Η κλιμάκωση των τρομοκρατικών χτυπημάτων στην Ευρώπη δημιουργεί πρωτόγνωρα δεδομένα σε επίπεδο εσωτερικής ασφάλειας της Ε.Ε. και έντασης του ισλαμικού φονταμενταλισμού. Η αντιμετώπιση του φαινομένου απαιτεί την παράλληλη χρήση σκληρής και ήπιας ισχύος, προσδιοριζόμενες σε δύο διακριτές αλλά αλληλένδετες χωροταξίες, που αφορούν την εσωτερική και την εξωτερική ασφάλεια της Ένωσης. Οι στόχοι θα πρέπει να τεθούν με βάση τον άξονα παραγωγής επιθυμητών αποτελεσμάτων σε ένα διευρυμένο πλαίσιο βραχυπρόθεσμων, μεσοπρόθεσμων και μακροπρόθεσμων στόχων. Από τη μία τίθεται η επιτακτική ανάγκη να χρησιμοποιηθεί σκληρή ισχύς, προκειμένου να πληγεί επιχειρησιακά και οικονομικά το Ισλαμικό Κράτος εντός του γεωγραφικού χώρου ανάπτυξής του. Αυτή η επιλογή απαιτεί συνέργειες μεταξύ των Ευρωπαίων αλλά και τη στήριξη των ΗΠΑ. Ωστόσο, ενέχει το ρίσκο ενεργοποίησης μικρόκοσμων φονταμενταλιστών στην Ευρώπη, κάτι που θα προκαλούσε συνθήκες διευρυμένης ανασφάλειας. Από την άλλη, επιβάλλεται η ανάγκη να αντιμετωπιστούν οι πυρήνες ριζοσπαστισμού εντός της επικράτειας της Ε.Ε. Το εγχείρημα δεν είναι εύκολο, αφού με βάση το δικαιικό και ιδεολογικό άξονα των ακραίων ισλαμιστών, δεν μπορεί να υπάρξει κανένα πλαίσιο ειρηνικής συνύπαρξης με τη Δύση. Υπό αυτό το πρίσμα η όποια πιθανότητα δημιουργικής αλληλόδρασης ανάμεσα στο ακραίο Ισλάμ και τη Δύση είναι δραματικά περιορισμένη. Οι παραπάνω επισημάνσεις οδηγούν σε ένα οντολογικό όσο και ουσιαστικό ερώτημα. Υπάρχει ή μπορεί να υπάρξει ένα μετριοπαθές ισλάμ; Η απάντηση θα πρέπει να δοθεί με όρους ανάγκης. Ως αποτέλεσμα, η ενίσχυση των μετριοπαθών στοιχείων εντός του ισλαμικού κόσμου αποτελεί μονόδρομο. Αν αυτοί δεν υπάρχουν και δεν καταγράφονται με σαφήνεια, τότε θα πρέπει να δημιουργηθούν με διαδικασίες αμεσότητας και όρους θωράκισης των δυτικών κοινωνικών, ιδιαίτερα μίας Ε.Ε. στην επικράτεια της οποίας διαβιούν εκατομμύρια μουσουλμάνοι. Αυτά τα δεδομένα επιβάλλουν τη δημιουργία ενός πολυεπίπεδου ενδοευρωπαϊκού αναχώματος στο φονταμενταλισμό με άξονα την ήπια ισχύ. Η λογική και εννοιολογική βάση της ήπιας ισχύος την προσδιορίζει με βάση την πειθώ και την ενίσχυση ενός συμπεριφορικού παραδείγματος αλληλόδρασης με στοιχεία το δια θρησκευτικό, διαπολιτισμικό διάλογο και τη δημιουργία συνθηκών κατανόησης και αποδοχής των καταστατικών διαφορών που χωρίζουν ισλάμ και Δύση. Στο πλαίσιο χρήσης ήπιας ισχύος ο αγώνας κατά της τρομοκρατίας θα πρέπει να αρχίσει στο τζαμί κάθε ευρωπαϊκής πρωτεύουσας και γειτονιάς. Η προσέγγιση των τοπικών πνευματικών και θρησκευτικών καθοδηγητών των μουσουλμάνων αποτελεί έναν μονόδρομο, ο οποίος δεν εξασφαλίζει a priori απτά αποτελέσματα. Ωστόσο, η εσωτερική ασφάλεια της Ένωσης δεν μπορεί να οικοδομηθεί αυστηρά ή αποκλειστικά σε αστυνομικά ή συνταγματικά μέτρα καταστολής που αποδομούν τα ιδιαίτερα πλεονεκτήματα των δυτικών φιλελεύθερων Δημοκρατιών. Ούτε εξασφαλίζεται από διαδικασίες παραγωγικής ενσωμάτωσης, οι οποίες επί της ουσίας αμφισβητούν έμμεσα ή άμεσα το αξιακό και δικαιικό πλαίσιο των ευρωπαίων μουσουλμάνων και τη συλλογική τους κοσμοθεωρία. Ούτως η άλλως η δεκτικότητα του ισλάμ σε επιδράσεις και εναλλακτικά πρότυπα είναι δραματικά μικρή, γεγονός που δημιουργεί περιορισμένες προσδοκίες. Παρ' όλα αυτά η απομόνωση και η στρατηγική καταστολής δεν μπορεί από μόνη της να λειτουργήσει ως πολλαπλασιαστής της συνολικής θωράκισης της Ένωσης. Λαμβάνοντας υπόψη ότι η έννοια της απόλυτης ασφάλειας χαρακτηρίζεται από ένα εννοιολογικό και οργανωτικό κενό, η ανάγκη ενίσχυσης της ασφάλειας των ευρωπαίων πολιτών σε επίπεδο καθημερινότητας είναι επιβεβλημένη. Η υλοποίηση αυτού του στόχου προϋποθέτει πολιτικές προσέγγισης και κοινωνικοποίησης σε ένα περιβάλλον αποδεκτής ετερότητας και αμοιβαίας αποδοχής. Για να συμβεί αυτό απαιτείται η ενεργοποίηση και ησυστηματική δράση φορέων διαθρησκευτικής συνεννόησης, ώστε να οικοδομηθούν οι βάσεις ενός συμπαγούς πλαισίου διαπολιτισμικής συνεργασίας.
Soft Power and the Challnge of Terrorism in Europe
The escalation of terrorist attacks in Europe creates unprecedented challenges for EU internal security. Dealing with the phenomenon requires the parallel use of hard and soft power, defined in two distinct but interrelated domains, concerning the Union's internal and external security.

URGENT MEMO: On 2/11/2023 ALL MY TWITTER ACOUNTS WERE SUSPENDED.
THIS CAME AFTER I STARTED PUBLICIZINFG INFO ON THE BIGGEST EVER RECRUITING/INTELLIGENCE CRIMINAL NETWORK IN GREEK ACADEMIA SET UP BY USEmbassy Athens. Following this I have been denied access to my LINKEDIN account, MY SOCIAL MEDIAS & EMAIL ACCOUNTS WERE COMPROMISED!
Το τέλος της εδαφικής χωροταξίας του ΙΚ δεν συνιστά και το τέλος της τρομοκρατικής δράσης του. Μάλιστα αυτή η παράμετρος μεταφέρει εκ των πραγμάτων τον κεντρικό άξονα δράσης του στην Ευρώπη, χωρίς κανείς να υποβαθμίζει την επέκτασης του στη νοτιο-ανατολική Ασία και τη Λιβύη.

Η έννοια της τρομοκρατίας, όπως ετυμολογικά προσδιορίζεται, στοχεύει στο να θέσει έναν χωροταξικά προσδιορισμένο στόχο υπό το κράτος του τρόμου. Αυτό ουσιαστικά περιγράφει τα κίνητρα των εξτρεμιστών έναντι κοινωνικών μικρόκοσμων τους οποίους επιθυμούν να αποδομήσουν.

Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated and the way they target those who refuse to be their tools.

An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Some critical questions that need answers
1. Is impunity a “local” (institutional failure), national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret and I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt? This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this “odd” visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP and a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police? Why didn’t the only witness to the incident didn’t testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens and the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. One more important issue. On speaking out about corruption and clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department (Bitzenis) as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick and should seek help). To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE and my lawsuit is STILL PENDING. I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis and USEmbassy Athens? How did the f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network) to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency and those exposing clientelist networks? His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization) is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way.
Τα ιστορικο-πολιτικά δεδομένα που δημιούργησαν μία «διπλή απειλή» και το κλειδί για την αντιμετώπιση του φαινομένου.
Ανάλυση για τη Voria.gr του καθηγητή Διεθνών Σπουδών του Πανεπιστημίου Μακεδονίας Γιώργου Βοσκόπουλου*
Το φαινόμενο της Αραβικής Άνοιξης χαιρετίστηκε ως ένα καταλυτικό γεγονός σε εθνικό, περιφερειακό και παγκόσμιο επίπεδο. Στο πρώτο αφορούσε τις αλλαγές σε επίπεδο καθεστώτων και διακυβέρνησης που πραγματοποιήθηκαν στις εσωτερικές οργανωτικές δομές των χωρών αυτών. Το δεύτερο αφορούσε τις νέες ισορροπίες σε βόρεια Αφρική και Μέση Ανατολή και το τρίτο τα νέα δεδομένα στο πεδίο της διεθνούς ασφάλειας. Ως μία μεταβατική διαδικασία εκτιμήθηκε, μάλλον αφελώς, ότι η ανατροπή των καθεστώτων αυτών θα ενίσχυε τη διεθνή ασφάλεια και θα δημιουργούσε συνθήκες διάχυσης της δημοκρατίας στον Μουσουλμανικό κόσμο.

George Voskopoulos – 2023 Academia Memo
https://gvoskop.wordpress.com/2023/03/17/george-voskopoulos-academia-memo/
2024 Memo on Academic Freedom & Intelligence Networks in www.uom.gr
Criminal Networks of Impunity in Greek Academia
PART I
In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia and PM K. Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually, it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International and European Studies course load and turned every single obligatory course in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I. Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean, f. Rector and f. Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is worth mentioning that he was acquitted in almost a dozen high profile legal cases (setting NGOs).
DAP-UoM (the New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education) had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds (at least) have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books and simply copy info and answers during the exams (!) without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of the Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay (indicative incidents-everything is documented)
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms and disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work.

In one case a high-profile university official told me that he had been using this scum to harm and dishonor those who just refused to operate as his puppets.

Όπως γνωρίζετε τον Οκτώβριο του 2017 προέβην σε μία πράξη διαμαρτυρίας, καθώς ένας φοιτητής του τμήματος ΔΕΣ άρχισε να συλλέγει υπογραφές ζητώντας την απομάκρυνση μου από το τμήμα. Η απάντηση μου στην ενορχηστρωμένη όπως απεδείχθη προσπάθεια συκοφάντησης μου και στην προσπάθεια μου να προωθήσω διαδικασίες διαφάνειας, αξιοκρατίας, ισονομίας μεταξύ των μελών ΔΕΠ του τμήματος μου ήταν η αποχή μου από τα μαθήματα για 3 εβδομάδες.
Είχαν προηγηθεί πράξεις βανδαλισμού και ενέργειες σε βάρος μου τις οποίες ο τότε Κοσμήτορας κ. Η. Κουσκουβέλης δεν καταδίκασε, αγνόησε τα αιτήματα μου για σύγκλιση Κοσμητείας και ρητή καταδίκη κάθε πράξης που με στοχοποιούσε.
Μετά από μία δικαστική μάχη ετών ο φοιτητής που έλαβε την πρωτοβουλία να με συκοφαντήσει ομολόγησε ότι προέβην σε αυτή την πράξη μετά από προτροπή του τότε Κοσμήτορα και π. πρύτανη του ΠΑΜΑΚ. κ. Ηλία Κουσκουβέλη (επισυνάπτω το έγγραφο).
Ως θεσμικά υπεύθυνο για την Σχολή ΚΑΕΤ σας ζητώ να κοινοποιήσετε την εν λόγω ομολογία του φοιτητή και να πάρετε θέση σε αυτό το πρωτοφανές γεγονός.
Ως Κοσμήτορας οφείλεται να διασφαλίσετε την διαφάνεια και να αποκαταστήσετε το ακαδημαϊκό κύρος της Σχολής και του πανεπιστημίου. Στο ίδιο πλαίσιο σας ζητώ να υπερασπιστείτε το ακαδημαϊκό κύρος μου και κυρίως την αλήθεια σε έναν ευνομούμενο πανεπιστημιακό χώρο.
Παρακαλώ όπως κάνετε το θεσμικό καθήκον σας και
1. Κοινοποιήσετε το έγγραφο-ομολογία του φοιτητή στους συναδέλφους της Σχολής
2. Συγκαλέσετε την Κοσμητεία προκειμένου να πάρει θέση στον εν λόγω πρωτοφανές περιστατικό.
Επιπλέον ζητώ τη διαμεσολάβηση σας ώστε να μου δοθεί το πόρισμα της έρευνας που διεξήγαγε για λογαριασμό του πρύτανη ο συνάδελφος κ. Ν. Μαραντζίδης πριν μερικά χρόνια. Μέχρι σήμερα ουδέποτε έλαβα γνώση του τελικού πορίσματος.
Μετά τιμής
Γ. Βοσκόπουλος, αναπλ. καθηγητής Ευρωπαϊκών Σπουδών, π. πρόεδρος τμήματος ΔΕΣ, ΠΑΜΑΚ

The most blatant case of plagiarism in Greek universities was recorded a few years ago by a colleague with an international presence in academia. If someone reads his CV, they will not realize that plagiarism makes him a disgrace to academia, since he has an "international presence" and "mobility, which of course was provided by foreign power centers, institutes, "academic bodies" and the American embassy. Although his case caused a stir, it was carefully covered-up bu USEmbassy Athens. Humilated, he was rescued by USEmbassy Athens and sent abroad until the case was forgotten. Then he was brought back to a university in Athens.
Η πλέον προκλητική περίπτωση λογοκλοπής στο ελληνικό πανεπιστήμιο καταγράφηκε πριν λίγα χρόνια από συνάδελφο με διεθνή παρουσία στον ακαδημαϊκό χώρο. Αν κάποιος διαβάσει το βιογραφικό του δεν θα αντιληφθεί βέβαια ότι συνιστά μία ντροπή για τον πανεπιστημιακό χώρο, αφού έχει διεθνή παρουσία κ κινητικότητα την οποία βέβαια του παρείχαν ξένα κέντρα εξουσίας, ινστιτούτα, “ακαδημαϊκοί φορείς” κ η αμερικανική πρεσβεία.
Αν και η περίπτωση του προκάλεσε πάταγο, αποσιωπήθηκε επιμελώς (φιμώθηκαν οι πάντες)αφού είχαν “επενδυθεί” πολλά σε εκείνον. Φυγαδεύτηκε εξευτελισμένος από τη χώρα σε πανεπιστήμιο του εξωτερικού σε χώρα που δεν βρίσκεται μακριά από την Ελλάδα ώστε να “ξεχαστεί” το “συμβάν” και στη συνέχεια τον επανέφεραν “παρασκηνιακά” σε πανεπιστήμιο της πρωτεύσας.
Έκτοτε προσφέρει αγόγγυστα τις υπηρεσίες του σε αυτούς τους “φορείς” που διέσωσαν την ανύπαρκτη ακαδημαϊκή υπόληψη του.

In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia and PM K. Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually, it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International and European Studies course load and turned every single obligatory course in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years to ELECTIVE.

Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated and the way they target those who refuse to be their tools. Had I let him participate in the evaluation process he would have made derogatory comments to justify insufficiency in teaching. This is a common practice for those outside the criminal network. In one case a high-profile university official told me that he had been using this scum to harm and dishonor those who just refused to operate as his puppets.
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Some critical questions that need answers
1. Is impunity a “local” (institutional failure), national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret and I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt? This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this “odd” visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP and a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police? Why didn’t the only witness to the incident didn’t testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens and the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. One more important issue. On speaking out about corruption and clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department (Bitzenis) as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick and should seek help). To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE and my lawsuit is STILL PENDING. I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis and USEmbassy Athens? How did the f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network) to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency and those exposing clientelist networks? His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization) is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way

In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia and PM K. Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually, it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International and European Studies course load and turned every single obligatory course in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I. Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean, f. Rector and f. Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is worth mentioning that he was acquitted in almost a dozen high profile legal cases (setting NGOs).
DAP-UoM (the New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education) had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds (at least) have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books and simply copy info and answers during the exams (!) without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of the Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay (indicative incidents-everything is documented)
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms and disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated and the way they target those who refuse to be their tools. Had I let him participate in the evaluation process he would have made derogatory comments to justify insufficiency in teaching. This is a common practice for those outside the criminal network. In one case a high-profile university official told me that he had been using this scum to harm and dishonor those who just refused to operate as his puppets.
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Some critical questions that need answers
1. Is impunity a “local” (institutional failure), national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret and I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt? This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this “odd” visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP and a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police? Why didn’t the only witness to the incident didn’t testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens and the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. One more important issue. On speaking out about corruption and clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department (Bitzenis) as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick and should seek help). To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE and my lawsuit is STILL PENDING. I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis and USEmbassy Athens? How did the f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network) to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency and those exposing clientelist networks? His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization) is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way

Και μία άλλη χαρακτηριστική περίπτωση
Ο λογοκλόπος και η διεθνής προστασία
Η πλέον προκλητική περίπτωση λογοκλοπής στο ελληνικό πανεπιστήμιο καταγράφηκε πριν λίγα χρόνια από συνάδελφο με διεθνή παρουσία στον ακαδημαϊκό χώρο. Αν κάποιος διαβάσει το βιογραφικό του δεν θα αντιληφθεί βέβαια ότι συνιστά μία ντροπή για τον πανεπιστημιακό χώρο, αφού έχει “διεθνή παρουσία” και “κινητικότητα την οποία βέβαια του παρείχαν ξένα κέντρα εξουσίας, ινστιτούτα, “ακαδημαϊκοί φορείς” και η αμερικανική πρεσβεία.
Αν και η περίπτωση του προκάλεσε πάταγο, αποσιωπήθηκε επιμελώς (φιμώθηκαν οι πάντες), αφού είχαν “επενδυθεί” πολλά σε εκείνον. Φυγαδεύτηκε εξευτελισμένος από τη χώρα σε πανεπιστήμιο του εξωτερικού σε χώρα που δεν βρίσκεται μακριά από την Ελλάδα ώστε να “ξεχαστεί” το “συμβάν” και στη συνέχεια τον επανέφεραν “παρασκηνιακά” σε πανεπιστήμιο της πρωτεύσας.
Έκτοτε προσφέρει αγόγγυστα τις υπηρεσίες του σε αυτούς τους “φορείς” που διέσωσαν (έτσι τουλάχιστον νομίζουν“) την ανύπαρκτη ακαδημαϊκή υπόληψη του. Είναι αστείο, προκλητικό και προσβλητικό για την κοινή γνώμη να τον βλέπεις να εκφράζει την άποψη του στα ΜΜΕ περί ελληνο-τουρκικών και της κρίσης στη Μέση Ανατολή. Αστείος, εξαρτώμενος και κυρίως υπάκουος, ειδικά σε εκλεκτορικά όταν κρίνει άλλους. Είναι και εξαιρετικά φοβισμένος από ότι πληροφορούμαι, μετά τη δημοσιοποίηση του ζητήματος από τον υποφαινόμενο. Φημολογείται ότι ζήτησε προστασία έναντι των επερχόμενων αποκαλύψεων και για αυτό το λόγο δέχομαι “οχλήσεις”.
Τα στοιχεία του και την καραμπινάτη περίπτωση λογοκλοπής που έκανε θα τα δώσω στη δημοσιότητα όταν έρθει η ώρα. Μέχρι τότε θα ζει με την ανεπάρκεια του παρά τη διεθνή και “υπόγεια” προστασία που του προσφέρεται. Ο ίδιος αποτελεί ένα μόνο κομμάτι ενός μηχανισμού που στήθηκε από την αμερικανική πρεσβεία με αρωγό τη μασονία. Τα στοιχεία που αφορούν την περίπτωση του διέρρευσαν συνάδελφοι του αλλά ο μοναδικός που τόλμησε να δημοσιοποιήσει το θέμα είναι ο γράφων.

Όλες οι επιλογές μου είχαν ως στόχο την προστασία της διαφάνειας και την προστασία του τμήματος. Σε αυτό το σημείο τίθεται ένα οντολογικής υφής ερώτημα.

Θεσσαλονίκη 20/4/2023
Με αφορμή την εξέλιξη της συναδέλφου Κ. Φ. Μπέλλου κ με σημεία
αναφοράς
α. το υπό κρίση έργο της
β. τη σύνθεση του εκλεκτορικού
θα ήθελα να επισημάνω τα παρακάτω. Τα αποστέλλω και ζητώ να
καταγραφούν στα πρακτικά, (αφού δεν έχω τη δυνατότητα σύνδεσης με
χρήση κάμερας και μικροφώνου1)
1. Την ΕΛΛΕΙΨΗ ΠΟΙΟΤΙΚΩΝ παραμέτρων στο έργο της και κυρίως την
περιορισμένη χρήση θεωρίας διεθνών σχέσεων. Αυτό αποτελεί σημείο
κλειδί της αξιολόγησης του κάθε υποψήφιου. Ουσιαστικά καταδεικνύει
μία ΑΝΕΠΑΡΚΕΙΑ όσον αφορά τα αυτονόητα για παραγωγή γνώσης στο
συγκεκριμένο γνωστικό αντικείμενο. Είναι περισσότερο από εμφανής
αυτή η ΑΔΥΝΑΜΙΑ στο σύνολο του έργου της συναδέλφου το οποίο
ΓΝΩΡΙΖΩ πολύ καλά από προηγούμενες συμμετοχές μου στα
εκλεκτορικά της. Μάλιστα το είχα επισημάνει στην ίδια και στις δύο
προηγούμενες διαδικασίες που συμμετείχα αλλά και σε κατ’ ιδίαν
συνάντηση προ ετών όταν ήμουν πρόεδρος του τμήματος.
2. Στις δύο προηγούμενες εξελίξεις της κ. Φ. Μπέλλου την ψήφισα με την
ΕΛΠΙΔΑ ΟΤΙ ΘΑ ΜΠΟΡΟΥΣΕ ΝΑ ΒΕΛΤΙΩΘΕΙ, κάτι που ΔΕΝ είναι εμφανές
σήμερα. Μάλιστα στις δύο κρίσεις της που έλαβα μέρος ουσιαστικά
ΚΡΙΘΗΚΕ με το ΙΔΙΟ (περίπου) έργο, κάτι που έθεσε ΗΘΙΚΑ και όχι μόνο
ζητήματα και διλήμματα σε όσους/ όσες είμασταν στο εκλεκτορικό.
Ήταν μία ΕΠΙΛΟΓΗ ΥΨΗΛΟΥ ΡΙΣΚΟΥ επιλογή για όλους και όλες που λάβαμε
μέρος. Την προσδιορίζω ως «επιλογή υψηλού ρίσκου» καθώς θα
μπορούσε κάποιος ΝΑ ΜΑΣ ΚΑΤΑΛΟΓΙΣΕΙ ΕΥΘΥΝΕΣ όσον αφορά την
ΤΕΚΜΗΡΙΩΣΗ της κρίση μας. Της το είχα ο ίδιος επισημάνει με
συναδελφικότητα και την προτροπή να ΓΡΑΨΕΙ μία μονογραφία με
βάση ΑΥΣΤΗΡΟΥΣ ακαδημαϊκούς κανόνες και τη χρήση θεωρίας.
Μάλιστα συνάδελφος μου είχε επισημάνει σε μειλ (στη διάθεση
όποιου/όποιας το επιθυμεί) «δηλαδή είναι παράλογο ότι δεν μπορεί να
ζητά κάποιος εξέλιξη αν δεν έχει γράψει το παραμικρό».
3. Την ίδια γνώμη εξέφρασαν σε ανύποπτο χρόνο και άλλοι συνάδελφοι
στο τμήμα με αποστολή mail στο οποίο επεσήμαναν τα παραπάνω (θα
τα επισυνάψω για του λόγου το αληθές και θα δημοσιοποιήσω το σύνολο τους μετά το πέρας της διαδικασίας). Το ζήτημα αφορούσε μία
κατάσταση στασιμότητας και μη ποιοτικής εξέλιξης που αναμένεται από
όλους μας στην ακαδημαϊκή μας πορεία.
4. Στην παρούσα εξέλιξη της κατέβαλλε κάθε προσπάθεια ΩΣΤΕ ΝΑ ΜΗΝ
ΕΙΜΑΙ στο εκλεκτορικό της ΖΗΤΩΝΤΑΣ από συναδέλφους να
συνομολογήσουν πράξεις εκ μέρους μου που αποτελούν ΣΥΚΟΦΑΝΤΙΑ
και ψεύδος. Συνάδελφοι με ενημέρωσαν ΓΙΑ ΤΟ ΤΙ ακριβώς τους ζητούσε
και πως αυτό στόχευε να αμαυρώσει την υπόληψη μου και ως εκ
τούτου ΝΑ ΖΗΤΗΣΕΙ την εξαίρεση μου από το εκλεκτορικό. Το ερώτημα
που τίθεται είναι γιατί αυτή η φοβική συμπεριφορά αλλά κυρίως η υφή
του αιτήματος της ώστε να μην συμμετέχω στο εκλεκτορικό της.
5. Το γνωστικό αντικείμενο της συναδέλφου είναι σχεδόν ΑΠΟΛΥΤΑ
ταυτόσημο με το δικό μου και ΣΥΝΕΠΩΣ θα όφειλα εξ ορισμού να είμαι
ΜΕΛΟΣ της τριμελούς επιτροπής που θα κατέθετε την εισηγητική. Εδώ
τίθενται πολλά ερωτηματικά όσον αφορά τη σύνθεση της.
6. Η Συμμετοχή στο εκλεκτορικό του κ. Θ. ΚΑΡΒΟΥΝΑΡΑΚΗ είναι εκ των
πραγμάτων προβληματική (ΑΝΥΠΑΡΚΤΟ ΕΡΓΟ το οποίο δεν υπάρχει
ΠΟΥΘΕΝΑ αναρτημένο), συνεπώς τίθενται πολλαπλά ζητήματα για την
ΙΚΑΝΟΤΗΤΑ ΤΟΥ να κρίνει ένα έργο. Ο συνάδελφος ΑΡΝΕΙΤΑΙ ΝΑ
δημοσιοποιήσει το έργο του τη στιγμή που συμμετέχει σε εκλεκτορικά
συναδέλφων στο τμήμα σε ένα εύρος γνωστικών αντικειμένων για τα
οποία ΚΑΝΕΙΣ ΔΕΝ ΓΝΩΡΙΖΕΙ αν έχει κάνει κάποια επιστημονική
δημοσίευση. Η αλήθεια είναι ότι ΔΕΝ έχει επιστημονικές δημοσιεύσεις,
οπότε η συμμετοχή του σε εκλεκτορικά θέτει πολλά ζητήματα για τους
υπό κρίση συναδέλφους. Θα παρακαλούσα στους συναδέλφους που
συμμετέχουν στο εκλεκτορικό μαζί με τον κ. Θ. Καρβουναράκη να με
ενημερώσουν ΑΝ ΓΝΩΡΙΖΟΥΝ ΤΟ ΕΡΓΟ ΤΟΥ κ αν μπορούν να το
ΕΝΤΟΠΙΣΟΥΝ κάπου. Στην προηγούμενη πρόσφατη διαδικασία εξέλιξης
που είχε συμμετοχή ο κ. Θ. Καρβουναράκης είχα εμφατικά επισημάνει
(έγγραφο που κοινοποιήθηκε και υπάρχει σε πρακτικά): “Τίθεται ζήτημα
με τη συμμετοχή στην τριμελή του κ. Θ. Καρβουναράκη, πρωτοβάθμιου
καθηγητή, το έργο του οποίου μέχρι σήμερα είναι ΑΓΝΩΣΤΟ και ΔΕΝ
υπάρχει πουθενά στις ιστοσελίδες του τμήματος ΔΕΣ! Πρακτικά ΔΕΝ
ΥΠΑΡΧΕΙ ΚΑΝΕΝΑ ΑΝΤΙΚΕΙΜΕΝΙΚΟ ΤΕΚΜΗΡΙΟ αιτιολόγησης της
συμμετοχής του όχι μόνο στην τριμελή αλλά και στο εκλεκτορικό,
αφού ΔΕΝ ΔΙΑΘΕΤΕΙ ΚΑΝΕΝΑ συγγραφικό αποτύπωμα της
απαιτούμενης γνώσης που θα του δώσει τα θεμελιώδη
γνωσιολογικά εργαλεία αξιολόγησης. Οι συνάδελφοι που
πλαισιώνουν την τριμελή ΟΦΕΙΛΑΝ να είχαν ενημερωθεί για την ΕΛΛΕΙΨΗ
συγγραφικού έργου του συναδέλφου Θ. ΚΑΡΒΟΥΝΑΡΑΚΗ ώστε ΝΑ
ΠΡΟΦΥΛΑΞΟΥΝ την όλη διαδικασία”.
7. Η συμμετοχή στο εκλεκτορικό του προέδρου του τμήματος Δ. Σκιαδά
θα έπρεπε να είχε αποφευχθεί, αφού ο ίδιος είχε συμμετοχή και σε
άλλα εκλεκτορικά με διαφορετικά γνωστικά αντικείμενα. Δεν μπορεί ο
καθένας μας να αξιολογεί συναδέλφους σε ένα τόσο διευρυμένο εύρος
γνωστικών αντικειμένων. Με αυτόν τον τρόπο δίνουμε την εντύπωση
ότι αποτελούμε πολύ-επιστήμονες. Η αξιολόγηση μου δεν αποτελεί
μομφή κατά της επιστημονικής γνώσης του στο αντικείμενο του αλλά
υπογραμμίζει το ακαδημαϊκά αυτονόητο στο χώρο μας.
8. Η συμμετοχή στο εκλεκτορικό του ΕΚΛΕΚΤΟΥ και ΑΞΙΟΥ συναδέλφου Μ.
Τσινισιζέλη ΔΕΝ δικαιολογείται, παρά το σημαντικό και ποιοτικό έργο
του, καθώς ΔΕΝ βρίσκεται κοντά στο γνωστικό αντικείμενο της κ.
Μπέλλου.
9. Το ίδιο ισχύει με το παραπάνω (8) και για τον συνάδελφο Χ.
Φραγκονικολόπουλο. Έχοντας διατελέσει πρόεδρος του τμήματος επί
μια και μισή θητεία (αφού παραιτήθηκα για λόγους που δεν είναι της
παρούσας) γνωρίζω την πρακτική που οφείλουμε να ακολουθούμε και
να αξιολογούμε το συνολικό έργο όσων προτείνονται για εκλεκτορικά.
Τέλος να επισημάνω ότι άγραφοι και μη ακαδημαϊκοί κανόνες επιβάλλουν
να ιεραρχούμε παράγοντες ποιοτικής αξιολόγησης των πάντων σε μία
διαδικασία. Σε ένα πιο γενικό πλαίσιο αξιολόγησης το εύρος αυτών
οντολογικά και ουσιαστικά οφείλει να ξεκινάει από τα πλέον σοβαρά (πχ.
περιπτώσεις τεκμηριωμένης λογοκλοπής για τις οποίες δεν μπορεί να
υπάρχει ασυλία ή κάποιας μορφής «παραγραφή») μέχρι τα πιο απλά.
Ονομαστικά αυτά θέτουν και τους κανόνες-κριτήρια με βάση τους
οποίους/τα οποία κρίνουμε και κρινόμαστε.
Σε ατομικό επίπεδο και επίπεδο ακαδημαϊκής υπόστασης η όποια
ανασφάλεια μπορεί να αισθάνεται ο κάθε υποψήφιος είναι κατανοητή,
ωστόσο ονομαστικά (και μιλώντας γενικά) αυτή δεν θα πρέπει να
υπερβαίνει συγκεκριμένα ακαδημαϊκά θέσφατα και να τον/την οδηγεί να
χρησιμοποιεί ΚΑΘΕ ΜΕΣΟ (από τη διπλωματία μέχρι προσπάθεια σπίλωσης
της ΗΘΙΚΗΣ υπόστασης τρίτων) προκειμένου να υλοποιήσει το στόχο
του/της.
Η συνάδελφος κ. Φ. Μπέλλου δεν χρειάζεται την ψήφο μου (υπό τις
περιστάσεις) για να εκλεγεί. Από την πλευρά μου ΔΕΝ ΕΠΙΘΥΜΩ να
εμπλακώ σε μία διαδικασία η οποία για άλλη μία φορά με φέρνει προ των
διλημμάτων που αντιμετώπισα στις δύο προηγούμενες εκλογικές
διαδικασίες στις οποίες τη στήριξα ΠΑΡΑ τις ΣΟΒΑΡΕΣ ενστάσεις μου και το

το ακαδημαϊκό ΗΘΟΣ που (δεν) διαθέτει ο καθένας/κάθε μία. Μπορεί να
αποτυπώνουν με ενάργεια την ακαδημαϊκή πραγματικότητα ή να
αποτελούν επιφαινόμενα μίας μη περιγραφικής εικονικής πραγματικότητας.
Το τμήμα μας διέρχεται τη μεγαλύτερη πολυεπίπεδη ΚΡΙΣΗ των τελευταίων
18 και πλέον ετών κατά τα οποία βρίσκομαι σε αυτό.

Η τελεσίδικη διευθέτηση του “ζητήματος” (Μάρτιος 2023). Ο π. πλέον φοιτητής υποδεικνύει τον ΗΘΙΚΟ ΑΥΤΟΥΡΓΌ (κοσμήτορα, π. πρύτανη) και εκθέτει πολλούς και πολλές.
After a three week sit-in in October 2017 and a long legal process the verdict (March 2023) is revealing as to who was behind the inititayive of the student to start collecting signatures so that I am removed from the Department of International and European Studies, UoM. Thessaloniki, Greece. The very same person who was supposed to support meritocracy and the rule of law. Former Dean and Rector according to the testimony of the student!

Academia Memo on academic freedom, meritocracy and criminal networks

2016, presspublica
Το ερώτημα είναι ρητορικό, αφού συνταγματικά τουλάχιστον δεν υφίσταται. Ωστόσο η ακαδημαϊκή πρακτική ενίοτε καταδεικνύει ότι οι συνταγματικές προβλέψεις δεν παραπέμπουν σε ανάλογο συμπεριφορικό πλαίσιο, οπότε ένας δημόσιος λειτουργός μπορεί να συμπεριφέρεται ως κρατικός υπάλληλος. Μία τέτοια υπερβατική συμπεριφορά ξεπερνά καταστατικά τον προσδοκώμενο και απόλυτα αναμενόμενο λειτουργικό του ρόλο. Δυστυχώς σε κάποιες περιπτώσεις ο συνταγματικός προσδιορισμός «δημόσιος λειτουργός» έχει σημασία μόνο ως ονομαστικής αξίας σημαίνων, αφού δεν παραπέμπει σε ανάλογα ηθικο-κανονιστικά σημαινόμενα. Πάνω από όλα δεν παραπέμπει στη ρητή δέσμευση προάσπισης του δημόσιου συμφέροντος, της ελευθερίας έκφρασης, των ατομικών ελευθεριών, της ακαδημαϊκής αξιοπρέπειας, της αξιοκρατίας.
Όπως εύστοχα επισημαίνεται, «ο κρατικός υπάλληλος εκτελεί εργασία και υπακούει σε διαταγές ενός προϊσταμένου. Ο δημόσιος λειτουργός προσφέρει έργο, κοινωνικά ωφέλιμο» μέσα από πρακτικές που τον καθιστούν πρότυπο. «Ο δημόσιος υπάλληλος έχει για εργοδότη κάποιον ανώτερο δημόσιο υπάλληλο». Στον αντίποδα ο δημόσιος λειτουργός υπηρετεί το δημόσιο συμφέρον απαιτώντας από την πολιτεία να του προσφέρει τα απαραίτητα οργανωτικά και λειτουργικά εχέγγυα προκειμένου να το πράξει απρόσκοπτα.
Ορθά υποστηρίζεται ότι «σε ό,τι αφορά τη θέση των δημόσιων λειτουργών στα οργανογράμματα των υπηρεσιών, ισχύουν περίπου αυτά που ισχύουν και για τους δημόσιους υπαλλήλους. Οι κρατικοί λειτουργοί ωστόσο (ακόμα και διαισθητικά αν ερμηνεύσουμε τον τίτλο και το ρόλο τους) έχουν άλλο κύρος, διατηρούν σε μεγαλύτερο βαθμό την ατομικότητά τους και μπορούν να λάβουν περισσότερες πρωτοβουλίες». Τα παραπάνω παραπέμπουν σε ένα θεμελιώδες λειτουργικό προαπαιτούμενο. Ότι η πολιτεία και τα όργανα της θα λειτουργήσουν ως υπέρτατοι θεματοφύλακες ενός κανονιστικού περιβάλλοντος η λειτουργία του οποίου δεν θα προσδιορίζεται από πολιτικές, προσωπικές ή κομματικές σκοπιμότητες με τη χρήση κάθε μέσου.
Ωστόσο κάποια πράγματα δεν έχουν δυστυχώς αυταπόδεικτη ισχύ ακόμα και εντός των ΑΕΙ, οργανωτικές χωροταξίες όπου νομοτελειακά θα έπρεπε να αποτελούν πρότυπα ελευθερίας, ισονομίας, αξιοκρατίας και πλουραλισμού. Εμπειρικά δεδομένα καταδεικνύουν ότι υπάρχουν δημόσιοι λειτουργοί που λειτουργούν με όρους εξάρτησης.

Academia Memo on academic freedom, meritocracy and criminal networks
https://gvoskop.wordpress.com/2023/03/17/george-voskopoulos-academia-memo/
Criminal Networks of Impunity in Greek Academia
PART I
In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia and PM K. Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually, it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International and European Studies course load and turned every single obligatory course in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I. Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean, f. Rector and f. Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is worth mentioning that he was acquitted in almost a dozen high profile legal cases (setting NGOs).
DAP-UoM (the New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education) had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds (at least) have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books and simply copy info and answers during the exams (!) without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of the Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay (indicative incidents-everything is documented)
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms and disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated and the way they target those who refuse to be their tools. Had I let him participate in the evaluation process he would have made derogatory comments to justify insufficiency in teaching. This is a common practice for those outside the criminal network. In one case a high-profile university official told me that he had been using this scum to harm and dishonor those who just refused to operate as his puppets.
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Some critical questions that need answers
1. Is impunity a “local” (institutional failure), national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret and I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt? This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this “odd” visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP and a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police? Why didn’t the only witness to the incident didn’t testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens and the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. One more important issue. On speaking out about corruption and clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department (Bitzenis) as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick and should seek help). To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE and my lawsuit is STILL PENDING. I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis and USEmbassy Athens? How did the f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network) to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency and those exposing clientelist networks? His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization) is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way

Το παρακράτος της αμερικανικής πρεσβείας και ο ακαδημαϊκός διεμβολισμός των ΑΕΙ
Μια χαρακτηριστική περίπτωση
Ο λογοκλόπος και η διεθνής προστασία
Η πλέον προκλητική περίπτωση λογοκλοπής στο ελληνικό πανεπιστήμιο καταγράφηκε πριν λίγα χρόνια από συνάδελφο με διεθνή παρουσία στον ακαδημαϊκό χώρο. Αν κάποιος διαβάσει το βιογραφικό του δεν θα αντιληφθεί βέβαια ότι συνιστά μία ντροπή για τον πανεπιστημιακό χώρο, αφού έχει “διεθνή παρουσία” και “κινητικότητα την οποία βέβαια του παρείχαν ξένα κέντρα εξουσίας, ινστιτούτα, “ακαδημαϊκοί φορείς” και η αμερικανική πρεσβεία.
Αν και η περίπτωση του προκάλεσε πάταγο, αποσιωπήθηκε επιμελώς (φιμώθηκαν οι πάντες), αφού είχαν “επενδυθεί” πολλά σε εκείνον. Φυγαδεύτηκε εξευτελισμένος από τη χώρα σε πανεπιστήμιο του εξωτερικού σε χώρα που δεν βρίσκεται μακριά από την Ελλάδα ώστε να “ξεχαστεί” το “συμβάν” και στη συνέχεια τον επανέφεραν “παρασκηνιακά” σε πανεπιστήμιο της πρωτεύσας.
Έκτοτε προσφέρει αγόγγυστα τις υπηρεσίες του σε αυτούς τους “φορείς” που διέσωσαν (έτσι τουλάχιστον νομίζουν“) την ανύπαρκτη ακαδημαϊκή υπόληψη του. Είναι αστείο, προκλητικό και προσβλητικό για την κοινή γνώμη να τον βλέπεις να εκφράζει την άποψη του στα ΜΜΕ περί ελληνο-τουρκικών και της κρίσης στη Μέση Ανατολή. Αστείος, εξαρτώμενος και κυρίως υπάκουος, ειδικά σε εκλεκτορικά όταν κρίνει άλλους. Είναι και εξαιρετικά φοβισμένος από ότι πληροφορούμαι, μετά τη δημοσιοποίηση του ζητήματος από τον υποφαινόμενο. Φημολογείται ότι ζήτησε προστασία έναντι των επερχόμενων αποκαλύψεων και για αυτό το λόγο δέχομαι “οχλήσεις”.
Τα στοιχεία του και την καραμπινάτη περίπτωση λογοκλοπής που έκανε θα τα δώσω στη δημοσιότητα όταν έρθει η ώρα. Μέχρι τότε θα ζει με την ανεπάρκεια του παρά τη διεθνή και “υπόγεια” προστασία που του προσφέρεται. Ο ίδιος αποτελεί ένα μόνο κομμάτι ενός μηχανισμού που στήθηκε από την αμερικανική πρεσβεία με αρωγό τη μασονία. Τα στοιχεία που αφορούν την περίπτωση του διέρρευσαν συνάδελφοι του αλλά ο μοναδικός που τόλμησε να δημοσιοποιήσει το θέμα είναι ο γράφων.

Είναι σαφές ότι στόχος της κομματοκρατίας είναι ο απόλυτος έλεγχος και η στήριξη ενός συστήματος διαπλοκής, ιδιοτελών (ατομικών) και κομματικών συμφερόντων. Οι πρακτικές αυτές επί της ουσίας ακυρώνουν τα πολλαπλά οφέλη της αντιπροσωπευτικής δημοκρατίας, αφού κομματικοί μηχανισμοί παρεμβαίνουν και αλλοιώνουν τη σχέση εντολέα- εντολοδόχου.

Criminal Networks of Impunity in Greek Academia
PART I
In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia and PM K. Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually, it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International and European Studies course load and turned every single obligatory course in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I. Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean, f. Rector and f. Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is worth mentioning that he was acquitted in almost a dozen high profile legal cases (setting NGOs).
DAP-UoM (the New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education) had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds (at least) have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books and simply copy info and answers during the exams (!) without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of the Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay (indicative incidents-everything is documented)
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms and disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated and the way they target those who refuse to be their tools. Had I let him participate in the evaluation process he would have made derogatory comments to justify insufficiency in teaching. This is a common practice for those outside the criminal network. In one case a high-profile university official told me that he had been using this scum to harm and dishonor those who just refused to operate as his puppets.
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
1. Is impunity a “local” (institutional failure), national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret and I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt? This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this “odd” visit?

Θεσσαλονίκη: Καθηγητής του ΠΑΜΑΚ κάνει καθιστική διαμαρτυρία για τις απειλές που δέχεται ο ίδιος και η κόρη του!

Ο καθηγητής του ΠΑΜΑΚ Γιώργος Βοσκόπουλος ξεσπά. Οι καταγγελίες του προκαλούν αίσθηση…
Ο καθηγητής του ΠΑΜΑΚ Γιώργος Βοσκόπουλος, ξεκίνησε καθιστική διαμαρτυρία στη Θεσσαλονίκη, “σε ένδειξη διαμαρτυρίας για την έλλειψη δημοκρατίας, αξιοκρατίας και ισονομίας, που θα όφειλε να χαρακτηρίζει ένα πανεπιστημιακό χώρο” όπως ανέφερε μεταξύ άλλων σε ανακοίνωσή του. Ο καθηγητής καταγγέλει ότι φοιτητής προσπαθεί να συγκεντρώσει υπογραφές μέσω διαδικτύου για να απομακρυνθεί από το ΠΑΜΑΚ. Ο Γιώργος Βοσκόπουλος τονίζει ακόμα ότι δέχεται απειλές

To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE and my lawsuit is STILL PENDING. I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis and USEmbassy Athens? How did the f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network) to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency and those exposing clientelist networks? His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization) is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way

Καθηγητής του ΠΑΜΑΚ ξεκίνησε καθιστική διαμαρτυρία - Φοιτητής μαζεύει υπογραφές για την απομάκρυνση του! Ο καθηγητής του Τμήματος Διεθνών και Ευρωπαϊκών Σπουδών (ΔΕΣ), Γεώργιος Βοσκόπουλος, ξεκίνησε χθες καθιστική διαμαρτυρία «σε ένδειξη διαμαρτυρίας για την έλλειψη δημοκρατίας, αξιοκρατίας και ισονομίας που θα όφειλε να χαρακτηρίζει έναν πανεπιστημιακό χώρο» όπως ανέφερε σε ανακοίνωση που απέστειλε στα Φοιτητικά Νέα/Foititikanea.gr την προηγούμενη εβδομάδα. Αίτημα με σύγκλιση Συγκλήτου προς τον πρύτανη του Πανεπιστημίου Μακεδονίας απέστειλε ο καθηγητής Γεώργιος Βοσκόπουλος, μετά από ανάρτηση εγγράφου από φοιτητή στο διαδίκτυο και αφορά συλλογή υπογραφών για την απομάκρυνση του καθηγητή από το τμήμα. Συγκεκριμένα η ανακοίνωση του καθηγητή έχει ως εξής: Προς, Πρύτανη ΠΑΜΑΚ Με την παρούσα αιτούμαι σύγκλιση Συγκλήτου με θέμα την ενημέρωση και λήψη απόφασης για την ανάρτηση στο google εγγράφου από φοιτητή του τμήματος ΔΕΣ ο οποίος φέρεται να εκπροσωπεί τους φοιτητές του τμήματος και αφορά συλλογή υπογραφών για την απομάκρυνση μου από το τμήμα". Η δημοσιοποίηση του εγγράφου με πλήττει προσωπικά, εμπεριέχει δυσφημιστικό και αναληθές περιεχόμενο και πρέπει να αντιμετωπιστεί θεσμικά από το πανεπιστήμιο. Μετά τιμής, Γ. Βοσκόπουλος, αναπλ. καθ, τμήμα ΔΕΣ *Δε έχει γίνει καμία ενέργεια μεχρι σήμερα από τον κ. Ζαπράνη Οι λόγοι που οδήγησαν τον καθηγητή του ΠΑΜΑΚ σε καθιστική διαμαρτυρία

Φοβερές καταγγελίες καθηγητή του ΠΑΜΑΚ: Απειλούν εμένα και την κόρη μου γιατί στέκομαι απέναντι στην "κομματική αριστεία"
https://www.theonlinepress.gr/φοβερές-καταγγελίες-καθηγητή-του-παμ/
Ο καθηγητής του Πανεπιστημίου Μακεδονίας Γιώργος Βοσκόπουλος ξεσπάει μέσα από επιστολή που έστειλε στο logiastarata.gr όπου εξηγεί αναλυτικά τους λόγους που τον οδήγησαν σε καθιστική διαμαρτυρία την περασμένη εβδομάδα. Ο κ.Βοσκόπουλος καταγγέλλει ότι δέχεται bullying και απειλές τόσο ο ίδιος όσο και η 18χρονη κόρη του και αφήνει αιχμές για συγκεκριμένο κομματικό σύστημα Νεοδημοκρατικής προέλευσης που "λύνει και δένει" στο τμήμα Διεθνών Ευρωπαικών Σπουδών του ΠΑΜΑΚ στο οποίο είναι καθηγητής και καλύπτει ακόμα και φαινόμενα λογοκλοπής και αντιγραφής υποβαθμίζοντας το επίπεδο των σπουδών.
Ο καθηγητής δηλώνει ότι προσπαθεί εδώ και ένα χρόνο να επικονωνήσει με τον αρχηγό της ΝΔ κ.Μητσοτάκη ώστε να τον ενημερώσει αλλά κάτι τέτοιο δεν κατέστη δυνατόν παρά τα μέιλ και τις επιστολές που του έστειλε. Αναλυτικά τα όσα καταγγέλλει ο αναπληρωτής καθηγητής κ.Βοσκόπουλος
2024 Memo on Academic Freedom in UoM
Criminal Networks of Impunity in Greek Academia
PART I
In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia and PM K. Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually, it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International and European Studies course load and turned every single obligatory course in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I. Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean, f. Rector and f. Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is worth mentioning that he was acquitted in almost a dozen high profile legal cases (setting NGOs).
DAP-UoM (the New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education) had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds (at least) have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books and simply copy info and answers during the exams (!) without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of the Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay (indicative incidents-everything is documented)
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms and disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated and the way they target those who refuse to be their tools. Had I let him participate in the evaluation process he would have made derogatory comments to justify insufficiency in teaching. This is a common practice for those outside the criminal network. In one case a high-profile university official told me that he had been using this scum to harm and dishonor those who just refused to operate as his puppets.
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Some critical questions that need answers
1. Is impunity a “local” (institutional failure), national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret and I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt? This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this “odd” visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP and a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police? Why didn’t the only witness to the incident didn’t testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens and the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. One more important issue. On speaking out about corruption and clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department (Bitzenis) as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick and should seek help). To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE and my lawsuit is STILL PENDING. I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis and USEmbassy Athens? How did the f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network) to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency and those exposing clientelist networks? His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization) is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way.

Μετά τη Μικρασιατική Καταστροφή του 1923 η Ελλάδα θεμελίωσε την εξωτερική της πολιτι¬κή και διπλωματική της δραστηριότητα στην προστασία της εδαφικής ακεραιότητας και την προάσπιση της ανεξαρτησίας της χώρας, με στόχο την παγίωση της ειρήνης και την «προαγωγή της συνεργασίας στο ιδιαίτερο γειτονικό περιβάλλον της»1. Ο στόχος αυτός αποτέλεσε τη γενική κατευθυντήρια γραμμή της ελληνικής εξωτερικής πολιτικής στις επόμενες δεκαετίες μέ¬χρι τις μέρες μας.

4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis and USEmbassy Athens? How did the f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network) to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency and those exposing clientelist networks? His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization) is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way
NOTICE
Dear All
I am removing all my publications from academia. This as a response to the continuous violation of academic freedom and human rights.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMd63x-20Qw&list=PLrxRuC7OWIQLOOjbuFgHuPF5ftvym0Al9&index=1
In the last five years I have been the target of unprecedented attacks that were blatantly ignored by legal authorities, the university,the students’ union, justice, political system.No measures whatsoever have been taken to protect me as an individual and academic.These attacks include
Threats to me & members of my family(I have filed a lawsuit,as in an incident involving a car threatening to rum my vehicle my daughter was also in danger)
Intimidating acts within the premises of the university.Despite my repeated requests to academic hierarchy the university has not taken any action nor has explicitly & publicly condemned these acts. Although I asked for the university senate to discuss the issue & provide a statement of support this has never happened, a very fact that constitutes a puzzle in itself.
My car has been twice vandalized within the premises of the university closed parking lot. These were the only incidents that have ever taken place within the premises of the university, a fact that per se has its own semantics.
The finding of a monitoring device inside my office.To this day I have not received an official response from judiciary and university authorities as to what the device was.Only an unofficial answer that is “was nothing’.To my knowledge the only witness(along with me)at the time the device was found has never been asked to testify in a legal investigation.
Violation of private data and hacking of my personal page.An IT expert that looked to it told me “it was a professional job”.
Continuous violation of private–family life to a degree that constitutes a blatant violation of human rights familiar only to autocratic & Soviet-style regimes.
To the above one should include
The request from the university authorities NOT to park my car inside the parking lot.This kind of behavior constitutes a inexplicable choice that makes me wonder why not everyone is equal in terms of having access to university facilities.
Hurdles to my ability to perform my academic work,a fact that goes beyond any sensible explaining and understanding.Despite my continuous requests to the university, I spent one whole semester without access to a computer equipped with a camera & a microphone.The university simply answered that these were not available, although they were indispensable for my e-classes at the time of the pandemic. I had to improvise & use YouTube to upload a series of audio lectures. This process was time consuming and did not facilitate academic interaction. Upon continuous requests I was given a portable computer for 2 weeks(15-29/9/20)just to be able to conduct exams. The very same day my exams finished(29/9)the university asked me to return the portable, which I did.
In October 2017 I had a three week sit in.I did not have classes.Instead I spent these hours at the university in my office(extra classes were offered after the sit-in.The reasons were explained in long and detailed communiqués (they are being translated into En).The basic issues were meritocracy, transparency, threats to my daughter & me and a number of criminal activities against me.I have filed lawsuits but to this day justice is not done.In a very indicative case a student asked to intervene as Head of the Department in a case of massive & extended in time cheats during exams.She printed out and gave me an exchange of messages in facebook where students confessed PUBLICLY that they were systematically cheating during the exams for years! Cheating was only possible with the support of those who were in charge within the classrooms.The student asked me to do my administrative duty,which I did.I publicized the issue,wrote articles asking for a legal investigation not to an assumed but publicly confessed crime.As one of the students wrote in facebook “I have passed many courses this way”. This simply means cheating has been a standard practice for years.
Ever since I have been targeted systematically & my academic role has been greatly undermined, not to mention the reverse of the proposal to take over the UNESCO Chair of the University as “being the ideal candidate”(according to the previous rector-the letter is at my disposal)
Eventually the university inaugurated an investigation against me although a the aim of publicizing these facts was to protect the institution & the exam process
“…Μπορεί να λεχθεί ότι τα Βαλκανικά κράτη, συμπεριλαμβανομένης μέσα σ΄ αυτά και της Τουρκίας, που σχηματίσθηκαν κατά τα τελευταία έτη, είναι ιστορικό αποτέλεσμα του κατ΄ολίγον τεμαχισμού της Οθωμανικής Αυτοκρατορίας και του ενταφιασμού της μέσα στην ιστορία”.

2024 Memo on Academic Freedom & Intelligence Networks in www.uom.gr
Criminal Networks of Impunity in Greek Academia
PART I
In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia and PM K. Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually, it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International and European Studies course load and turned every single obligatory course in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I. Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean, f. Rector and f. Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is worth mentioning that he was acquitted in almost a dozen high profile legal cases (setting NGOs).
DAP-UoM (the New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education) had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds (at least) have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books and simply copy info and answers during the exams (!) without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of the Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay (indicative incidents-everything is documented)
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms and disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated and the way they target those who refuse to be their tools. Had I let him participate in the evaluation process he would have made derogatory comments to justify insufficiency in teaching. This is a common practice for those outside the criminal network. In one case a high-profile university official told me that he had been using this scum to harm and dishonor those who just refused to operate as his puppets.
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Some critical questions that need answers
1. Is impunity a “local” (institutional failure), national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret and I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt? This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this “odd” visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP and a number of journalists.

Τα χρόνια της Σοβιετικής κυριαρχίας το VMRO-BND τέθηκε εκτός νόμου και διαλύθηκε από το Κομμουνιστικό Κόμμα Βουλγαρίας. Τη δεκαετία του ’90 επανήλθε, αυτοπροσδιορίστηκε ως κόμμα που εκφράζει ένα “σύγχρονο βουλγαρικό εθνικισμό” και χαρακτηρίστηκε ως ένα “νεο-εθνικιστικό κόμμα”. Η παρούσα ηγεσία του θεωρεί ότι αποτελούν συνεχιστές του IMRO που δημιουργήθηκε στη Θεσσαλονίκη το 1893. Μέχρι σήμερα δεν αποτέλεσε αξιοσημείωτη παράμετρο των ελληνο-βουλγαρικών σχέσεων, αφού περιορίστηκε σχεδόν αποκλειστικά στην έκφραση ρατσιστικών πολιτικών κατά Ρομά, Μουσουλμάνων και μεταναστών χωρίς να εκφράσει αλυτρωτισμό.

2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt? This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this “odd” visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP and a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police? Why didn’t the only witness to the incident didn’t testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens and the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. One more important issue. On speaking out about corruption and clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department (Bitzenis) as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick and should seek help). To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE and my lawsuit is STILL PENDING. I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis and USEmbassy Athens? How did the f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network) to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency and those exposing clientelist networks? His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization) is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way

2024 Memo on Academic Freedom & Intelligence Networks in www.uom.gr
Criminal Networks of Impunity in Greek Academia
PART I
In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia and PM K. Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually, it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International and European Studies course load and turned every single obligatory course in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I. Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean, f. Rector and f. Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is worth mentioning that he was acquitted in almost a dozen high profile legal cases (setting NGOs).
DAP-UoM (the New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education) had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds (at least) have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books and simply copy info and answers during the exams (!) without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of the Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay (indicative incidents-everything is documented)
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms and disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated and the way they target those who refuse to be their tools. Had I let him participate in the evaluation process he would have made derogatory comments to justify insufficiency in teaching. This is a common practice for those outside the criminal network. In one case a high-profile university official told me that he had been using this scum to harm and dishonor those who just refused to operate as his puppets.

Criminal Networks of Impunity in Greek Academia
PART I
In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia and PM K. Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually, it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International and European Studies course load and turned every single obligatory course in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I. Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean, f. Rector and f. Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is worth mentioning that he was acquitted in almost a dozen high profile legal cases (setting NGOs).
DAP-UoM (the New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education) had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds (at least) have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books and simply copy info and answers during the exams (!) without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of the Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay (indicative incidents-everything is documented)
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms and disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated and the way they target those who refuse to be their tools. Had I let him participate in the evaluation process he would have made derogatory comments to justify insufficiency in teaching. This is a common practice for those outside the criminal network. In one case a high-profile university official told me that he had been using this scum to harm and dishonor those who just refused to operate as his puppets.
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Some critical questions that need answers
1. Is impunity a “local” (institutional failure), national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret and I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt? This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this “odd” visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP and a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police? Why didn’t the only witness to the incident didn’t testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens and the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. One more important issue. On speaking out about corruption and clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department (Bitzenis) as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick and should seek help). To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE and my lawsuit is STILL PENDING. I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis and USEmbassy Athens? How did the f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network) to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency and those exposing clientelist networks? His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization) is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way

2024 Memo on Academic Freedom & Intelligence Networks in www.uom.gr
Criminal Networks of Impunity in Greek Academia
PART I
In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia and PM K. Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually, it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International and European Studies course load and turned every single obligatory course in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I. Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean, f. Rector and f. Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is worth mentioning that he was acquitted in almost a dozen high profile legal cases (setting NGOs).
DAP-UoM (the New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education) had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds (at least) have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books and simply copy info and answers during the exams (!) without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of the Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay (indicative incidents-everything is documented)
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared.

The aforementioned Dean, f. Rector and f. Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is worth mentioning that he was acquitted in almost a dozen high profile legal cases (setting NGOs).
DAP-UoM (the New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education) had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds (at least) have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books and simply copy info and answers during the exams (!) without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of the Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay (indicative incidents-everything is documented)
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms and disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated and the way they target those who refuse to be their tools. Had I let him participate in the evaluation process he would have made derogatory comments to justify insufficiency in teaching. This is a common practice for those outside the criminal network. In one case a high-profile university official told me that he had been using this scum to harm and dishonor those who just refused to operate as his puppets.
An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Some critical questions that need answers
1. Is impunity a “local” (institutional failure), national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret and I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt? This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this “odd” visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP and a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police? Why didn’t the only witness to the incident didn’t testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens and the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. One more important issue. On speaking out about corruption and clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department (Bitzenis) as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick and should seek help). To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE and my lawsuit is STILL PENDING. I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis and USEmbassy Athens? How did the f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network) to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency and those exposing clientelist networks? His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization) is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way
"Η τουρκική πολιτική στο Αιγαίο αποτελεί ένδειξη «απογοήτευσης» (frustration) από ένα εδαφικό καθεστώς το οποίο δεν ανταποκρίνεται στις προσδοκίες της τουρκικής πολιτικής και στρατιωτικής ελίτ. Όπως επισημαίνεται , η απογοήτευση προκαλεί «επιθετικότητα» (aggression). Η αυξημένη επιθετικότητα της τουρκικής πλευράς μπορεί να «μετρηθεί» μέσα από τον μαθηματικό τύπο
RD = VE – VC, όπου RD (relative deprivation) το έλλειμμα προσδοκιών μεταξύ VE (value expectations), οι προσδοκίες ενός δρώντος, και VC (value capabilities) η ικανότητα υλοποίησης των στόχων ενός δρώντος. Αυτό που ο παραπάνω όρος καταδεικνύει είναι ότι όσο αυξάνεται ο δείκτης RD τόσο μεγαλύτερη είναι η πιθανότητα να προβεί ένας παίκτης σε χρήση ισχύος προκειμένου να πραγματοποιήσει τις προσδοκίες του"

THIS CAME AFTER I STARTED PUBLICIZINFG INFO ON THE BIGGEST EVER RECRUITING/INTELLIGENCE CRIMINAL NETWORK IN GREEK ACADEMIA SET UP BY USEmbassy Athens and f. U.S. Ambassador to Greece Geoffrey R. Pyatt! Following this I have been denied access to my LINKEDIN account, MY SOCIAL MEDIA & EMAIL ACCOUNTS WERE COMPROMISED!
Criminal Networks of Impunity in Greek Academia, 2024 update
PART I
In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia and PM K. Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually, it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International and European Studies course load and turned every single obligatory course in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I. Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean, f. Rector and f. Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is worth mentioning that he was acquitted in almost a dozen high profile legal cases (setting NGOs).

"Σύμφωνα με τον Laurent Fabius
“το ζήτημα δεν είναι να μάθουμε αν θέλουμε την Ευρώπη. Είμαστε η Ευρώπη. Το ερώτημα που τίθεται είναι τι είδους Ευρώπη θέλουμε. Επιθυμούμε την αλληλεγγύη [μεταξύ των Ευρωπαϊκών λαών],ή να θέσουμε τους εαυτούς μας υπό την καλή θέληση των αγορών…και για την άμυνα μας να προσδεθούμε στο άρμα της αμερικανικής υπερδύναμης? Θεωρώ πως η μόνη διαχρονική προοπτική είναι αυτή μίας κοινωνικής και κυρίως φιλόδοξης Ευρώπης. Δεν πρέπει να ξεχνάμε ποτέ που θέλουμε να οδηγήσουμε την Ευρώπη. Θέλουμε να την οδηγήσουμε στο δρόμο της ισχύος και της αλληλεγγύης. Χρειαζόμαστε ένα σύνταγμα, αλλά αυτό πρέπει να θεμελιώνεται στις αξίες και τους θεσμούς της Ένωσης. Ένα σύνταγμα που καθορίζει τους κανόνες του παιχνιδιού και όχι το ίδιο το παιχνίδι…Θα πρέπει λοιπόν να επικεντρώσουμε την προσοχή μας σε δύο αντικειμενικούς στόχους: να καταστήσουμε σαφή την ισχύ της Ευρώπης στα πλαίσια της παγκοσμιοποίησης και να προωθήσουμε την Ευρώπη της αλληλεγγύης…Για να υλοποιηθούν αυτοί οι στόχοι η Ευρώπη χρειάζεται μία νέα πολιτική αρχιτεκτονική».

Ο Thomas Zweifel θέτει δύο κρίσιμα όσο και οντολογικά ερωτήματα που αφορούν το δημοκρατικό έλλειμμα. Πρώτον, «είναι οι θεσμοί της ΕΕ δημοκρατικοί» και δεύτερον «λειτουργεί η ΕΕ δημοκρατικά όταν λαμβάνονται αποφάσεις»; Ο ίδιος εκτιμά ότι το πρώτο ερώτημα είναι στατικής υφής ενώ το δεύτερο ενέχει μία δυναμική.

Το μεταπτυχιακό είναι research degree και δεν νοείται να υπάρχουν μαθήματα χωρίς υποχρεωτικές εργασίες. Η αλλαγή αυτή δεν έγινε αποδεκτή αγόγγυστα από κάποιους συναδέλφους! (ειδικά από αυτούς που ομολόγησαν την αποτυχία του μαθήματος που δίδασκαν!!!)
Μείωση διδάκτρων και διευκόλυνση των φοιτητών / φοιτητριών στον τρόπο αποπληρωμής των διδάκτρων στο μεταπτυχιακό.

DEPRIVED OF THE RIGHT TO ACADEMICALLY ADVANCE ON MERIT FOR REFUSING TO BE RECRUITED BY USEmbassy Athens infiltrating Greek Academia & Universities. Network created by f. U.S. Ambassador to Greece Geoffrey R. Pyatt!
I recently received a life threatening “notice”
