damn Tito and it's Skopian agents

Tito must have used his time machine again to tell these damn Slavs about Alexander the Great and Aristotle .

I found this part of the 1880 Manifesto especially noteworthy:

“Chase away all those who have joined with foreign interests and preach that “the sword does not cut the humble head.”

Does anybody remember the following Gligorov statement in around 1993:

"Navednata glava sabja ne seche"?

Unfortunately, every successive Macedonian Government since that time has adopted Gligorov's paradigm of 'mudra politika'.

great text passage

Bravo!!

Amen

Was supported by the GREEK government??????????????

what's this all about. does anyone have any energy to research this dynamic further? if nothing else it confirms bulgaro/greek manipulation of the Macedonian people

A MANIFESTO OF THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT OF MACEDONlA

23rd March 1881

Macedonians,

Our dear fatherland Macedonia was once one of the most glorious countries. Macedonian nation established the foundations of the art of war; with their victorious phalanx and Aristotles enlightenment they civilized the humanity and Asia. And now our fatherland, so glorious in the past, is on the verge of destruction, thanks to our mistakes and carelessness. Foreign and suspicious nations want conquer our homeland and destroy our nation, which, shining with such a light, will never be destroyed. Our mother Macedonia became now as a widow, lonely and deserted by her sons. She does not fly the banner of the victorious Macedonian army. Today she is just a geographic term. Much like if someone is trying to hide her victorious nature with the veil off oblivion. Conspirators have dug her grave and roam through our land, injecting poisons in her. These conspirator are the undertakers of our glorious and great fatherland, they want to dismember it and lay it as a pray in front of the victorious army of Austria-Hungary. If one joke is replaced with yet another, the revival of Macedonia will become impossible, and our nation will be eradicated. This moment is of utmost importance for Macedonia, it is a question of life or death.

Real Macedonians, faithful offspring of your fatherland!

Will you let your fatherland to be destroyed? Look at her, how she is suffocated in slavery, bleeding from the wounds that the surrounding nations have inflicted her with! Look at the heavy chains that the Sultan has put her in! In such a helpless state, all in tears, our dear Macedonia, our beloved fatherland is calling you: my faithful children, you descendents of Aristotle and Alexander the Great, you in whose veins flows Macedonian blood dont leave me to die, help me! It would be a great shame for you, true Macedonians, if you remain silent witnesses of my burial. No, no, here are my awful bloody wounds, here are my heavy chains: beak them, heal my wounds, do whatever is in your power so the words Allied and United Macedonia can be written on the banner that I will raise. When you succeed victoriously, drive away the killer from this land, who fly the banner of discord and sow perilous ideas, dividing you, my children, into countless nations, and so united under the banner of Macedonia, as one nation, rise high that glorious banner and prepare to write single-mindedly on it:

Long live the Macedonian nation! Long live Macedonia!

This is the voice of our country; this is our freedom our national inheritance. If you proclaim these words, you will be greeted by the free thinking nations and all graceful hears will hurry up to join you and fight with you, to help you gain the holy freedom, that has been taken away from us for so many centuries.

Macedonians, remember you ancestry, and dont give up on it!

This manifest is mentioned by the Bulgarian Patriarch Kiril in the Book: (1877-1878), vol. 1/1, : , 1969, p. 461-466, 485. In this book he mentions that one of the most active members of the Macedonian National Assembly was Leonidas Vulgarakis, hence he concludes that the Assembly was supported by the Greek government.
