Indeed all *Srankovisti hangers-on are traitors to the Macedonian cause.
Hoping that is UMD state you are pointing is about political demagogy only , and your criticism will have valuable results
It is clear the FA is used by "UMD" to promote Macedonia in a "positive" light and thus is an endorsement of it. Furthermore, it is a JUSTIFICATION (legitimization) of the UCK (and their backers) terrorist activities and an exoneration of the TRAITORS, e.g. Boris Trajkovski, Branko Crvenkovski, LjuBcho Georgievski and Co., who signed and enacted into law (via amendments to the Constitution/Ustav) the CAPITUALTIONIST 2001 Framework Agreement.

No SOM, Risto asked legitimate questions im talking about this forum not face to face talk.
You keep mentioning this Slav guy who is he and what does he stand for?? Is he related to Hari Kostov by any chance? I agree that nobody is spilling beans here i just dont want our opposition to get their hands on our information.МАКЕДОНЕЦ си кога кавал ќе ти ја распара душата,зурла ќе ти го раскине срцето,кога секое влакно од кожата ќе ти се наежи кога ќе видиш шеснаесеткрако сонце,кога до коска ќе те заболи кога ќе слушнеш ПЈРМ,кога немаш ни за леб,а полн си во душата затоа што ја сакаш МАКЕДОНИЈА. МАКЕДОНИЈА во срце те носиме.

I have to say that AMHRC's omission was a pretty basic mistake and apparent to all. Don't get me wrong, I think the 'international' angle is good, but the picture is not complete. Lets face it, it will be left to the AMHRC (not UMD) to try to hold Rann accountable - they need the financial support for activities that affect our community and hence the exposure.
MP_MP - I look forward to the fruits of your labour over the next little while. It will be nice to see this issue brought to the attention of responsible media. Can you let us know in advance of when we can expect things to come out?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
THE COMMUNITY SHOULD BE MADE AWARE THAT THE AMHRC FUNDED BY ITS MEMBERS, WILL FIGHT THIS. THEY NEED THE MONEY.
I agree Maslinka.
I was not responsible for that media piece transpiring.
Yes I can and will, as media pieces are secured moving forward.

EB, I have the tar and feathers waiting for you.
The fundamental problem is people are telling us how we should name ourselves. Think it through and tell me if Macedonia can stand shoulder to shoulder with nations that insist on treating us this way. If we accept this, we deserve everything else they mock us with.
Further, I cannot be Macedonian from where my people come from. It simply does not work and will only become more difficult as the name is something further from Macedonian. As a friend of mine stated .... "I am a socialist .... why would I want to be a Democratic Macedonian!".
I would much prefer "Sexy Macedonian" than any of the UMD suggestions, but ultimately I only want "Macedonian".Risto the Great

Thanks RtG. There is no doubt that we find ourselves in a situation that, in this day and age, no nation deserves to be in, but, I fail to see how these appendages can be construed as treacherous for neither implies any racial or geographical meaning.Last edited by El Bre; 02-07-2010, 10:47 PM.

Originally posted by UMDiaspora.org View PostMr. Vangelovski, are you referring to The Australian advertisement? We suggest you get your facts straight before spreading outright lies and false allegations about UMD. UMD has never plagiarized anything, so your assertions are quite serious offenses and slander.
UMD, the Macedonian Orthodox Community of Sydney, the Macedonian Community of Adelaide and South Australia, and other organizations co-sponsored an advertisement in May 2007, not November. The advertisement was published in The Australian the same day of former Greek Prime Minister Karamanlis' visit to Australia, and not in response to some Melbourne Greek rally.
The advertisement was originally initiated by UMD, and primarily championed by Ljupco Stankovski of the Australian Macedonian Weekly, a very strong supporter and member of UMD. It was Mr. Stankovski that contacted the Macedonian Orthodox Community of Sydney to join UMD in this initiative, and MOCS paid half of the funds needed for the advertisement. Whereas, Mr. Stankovski raised the other half through the various other organizations who donated and some individuals including himself. UMD authored/drafted the original text, and the various organizations sponsoring the advertisement had additions, and the final text was composed, which was used for the advertisement (the drafting committee did an excellent job). It was agreed upon by all participating sponsoring organizations. UMD never refused to put its name on the advertisement and you make false claims.
Here is something that may peak your interest about the advertisement written by the Pan-Macedonian Federation of Australia against UMD:
Greek people is under occupation. Merkel Germany, EC, ECB and IMF try to kill the Greek people by force them in internal default. In order to doing this, they kill the Liberal Democracy. As Pr. Krugman remark: "They now looking at a scenario in which Greece is forced into killing levels of austerity to pay its foreign creditors, with no real light at the end of the tunnel. This is just not going to work."
On the same day of the advertisement, UMD issued a press release as well regarding the visit of Prime Minister Karamanalis, of which Mr. Vangelovski was the spokesperson for:
http://umdiaspora.org/content/view/210/1/
I must come back to this because you have caused confusion between the earlier advertisement in The Australian and the later advertisement inThe Age and Sydney Morning Herald, as well as between UMD as an organization that co-published an advertisement in The Australian and Meto Koloski as an opinion writer in The Age.
The earlier advertisement in THE AUSTRALIAN was co-published by the Association of Macedonian Communities in Australia (a key name you seem to be overlooking completely) and UMD. The collaborative effort was suggested to me by Ljupco Stankovski (both a UMD member and a long-time collaborator and supporter of the Association of Macedonian Communities in Australia). UMD did not SPONSOR the advertisement with any funds of its own. Yes, the Macedonian Orthodox Community of Sydney paid for more than half of that ad too (as it did for the later ads in The Age and Sydney Morning Herald), while the money Ljupco Stankovski helped raise was from other organization-members and supporters of the Association of Macedonian Communities in Australia (including himself).
The first draft of the advertisement in The Australian was sent to me by Tom Vangelovski. It underwent extensive changes after days of incessant email debates about its contents, in which myself and UMD’s Australian members - Tom Vangelovski, Ljupco Stankovski, Igor Zvezdakovski and Ordan Andreevski - took a distinctly different approach to the 'diplomatic' approach that the UMD leadership from the USA pursued, especially in relation to the use of the logo with the 16-Ray Sun and the reference to the division, occupation and repression of Macedonia since 1913. When we ran out of time for debates, although we had made some inroads towards a mutually acceptable text, the UMD leadership from the US still insisted that the text Vangelovski (as UMD's Australian head) and I agreed on was too 'undiplomatic'. That's when I say said something like: "We are the ones funding this and we will have final say as to what it looks like. If the UMD guys from the US don't like it, we'll publish it without them."
The UMD's name was ultimately included under the advertisement in The Australian because the Aussie UMD members wanted it to be. Some time later, a certain UMD leader from the US made statements on Maknews to the effect that he didn't want to enter collaborative activities with the Association of Macedonian Communities in Australia and Macedonian Orthodox Community of Sydney again because I had allegedly threatened to withhold funding for the ad in The Australian if I didn't get 'my' way. That feeling on his part probably explains why neither he or any other UMD member from the US made any contributions when the Association of Macedonian Communities in Australia later published advertisements in The Age and Sydney Morning Herald, in response to a Greek racist rally held in Melbourne.
Vangelovski's version of events regarding the advertisement in The Age is pretty much spot on. You were out of line in accusing him of lying. You should either substantiate your accusations or make a retraction and apologize.
If you have a problem with Vangelovski questioning whether the UMD flyer's reference to an opinion piece by Meto in The Age might be a dishonest attempt to claim credit for the AMCA’s advertisement, you could simply disclose which opinion piece in The Age the UMD flyer refers to. Why is that so hard?Last edited by aleksandrov; 02-08-2010, 08:07 AM.All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed.

If you don't appreciate how fundamental and sacred the concepts of sovereignty and human rights are, and what they mean, you should do some research and deep thinking about what it is that generations of Macedonian liberation fighters and activists have struggled for and why the Republic of Macedonia declared sovereignty and independence to start with.All truth passes through three stages.

By the way Vangelovski, you need to start separating the comments of board members, and official UMD policy. That is a very simple thing that you need to understand."I'm happy to answer any question and I don't hide from that"

Buktop, are you serious?
So if Obama and Biden say that America is an illegal occupier in countries all over the world, the American public are supposed to keep those comments separate from the official policy of the American government? You can't be serious. What would people think of them and their integrity, along with that of their administration? Probably the same thing that people think of Meto and the UMD.
What people need to start doing is make these so-called 'leaders' who speak on our behalf in an official capacity, accountable for their own actions and words. Keep em' honest, as we say. I am sure you have seen the Adelaide clip Buktop, again Meto has shown his acceptance of the 'democratic' prefix. It's a done deal, he has sunk himself.In the name of the blood and the sun, the dagger and the gun, Christ protect this soldier, a lion and a Macedonian.
