Οι θέσεις αυτές προτάσσονται εδώ και ως επιστημονικές υποθέσεις που μπορούν να υποστούν το βάσανο της εμπειρικής διερεύνησης. Η βασική υπόθεση εργασίας είναι ότι οι ΗΠΑ είναι οικονομικά, πολιτικά, στρατιωτικά και τεχνολογικά κυρίαρχες. Καμία χώρα δεν μπορεί να τις αντιμετωπίσει. Πόσο μάλλον όταν έχει τόσες άλλες μεγάλες χώρες που στέκονται στο πλευρό τους. Για το οικονομικό τους συμφέρον, οι ΗΠΑ μπορεί να τα βάλουν και με τη μικρότερη χώρα του κόσμου. Μέσα σε αυτό το πλαίσιο, γεννάται το εξής ερώτημα: ποια πρέπει να είναι η θέση της Ελλάδος όσον αφορά την εξωτερική της πολιτική; Προτείνεται, λοιπόν, η πλήρης ταύτιση και ενίσχυση της πολιτικής των ΗΠΑ αρκεί η ανταμοιβή να αξίζει. Για παράδειγμα, μία τέτοια ανταμοιβή θα ήταν: (α) τα νησιά Ίμβρος και Τένεδος να περάσουν στην ελληνική επικράτεια ή να αυτονομηθούν όπως προέβλεπε η Συνθήκη της Λωζάνης, ή/και (β) η ενοποίηση της Κύπρου, ή/και (γ) η Αγία του Θεού Σοφία να γίνει κάτι σαν το Βατικανό, ή/και (δ) η Βόρειος Ήπειρος να επανέλθει στην Ελλάδα αν ήταν ποτέ δική της, ή/και (ε) η προσάρτηση της Βόρειας Μακεδονίας για να ενωθεί με τα άλλα τρία «αδέρφια» της που βρίσκονται στην Ελλάδα, ή/και (στ) η επιστροφή των Μαρμάρων του Παρθενώνα κ.ά. Πρέπει να πείσει η ελληνική εξωτερική πολιτική ότι είναι προς το συμφέρον των ΗΠΑ η πραγματοποίηση όλων αυτών. Απλή σύμπτωση είναι ότι ενδιαφέρεται και η Ελλάδα.

As is with all conspiracy theories, it is assumed that there are some great powers, or the greatest power, which envelops the whole story. The only way that this approach can be verified is from its effects. All that is needed for this story here is a great power, preferably the greatest of all (e.g., USA), a perpetrator (e.g., Russia) and a victim (e.g., Ukraine). Then what follows can be analyzed in terms of the interests of the greatest power. In this article, I assume that the USA is such a power. As such, it can enforce, God permitting, its wishes, and so I think it has done in the Russian-Belarus invasion of Ukraine. Of course, many objectives can be put forward to explain what the USA wants to achieve, but in this article, I have identified two such objectives: (a) force Europe to spend more on defense, primarily by buying very good, well-tested and technologically advanced military equipment made in the USA (e.g., Air Force F-35 fighters) and (b) reducing its energy dependency on Russia primarily by buying good quality LNG (at a price of course) from the USA.

The paper states the mission of such an ideal society and discuses four means to accomplish it. These means include military, economic, political and technological instruments. Europe is strong, actually very strong, relative to Russia, but lacks political leadership. Keywords: Europe, Ukraine, Russia, military, economic, politics, technology.

Οι παρακάτω εκτιμήσεις δεν μπορούν να θεωρηθούν επιστημονικές, διότι δεν στηρίζονται σε μία πρωτογενή ή δευτερογενή έρευνα αξιόπιστης (επιστημονικής) αντιπροσωπευτικής δειγματοληψίας. Όλες αυτές οι έρευνες αντιμετωπίζουν την ανυπέρβλητη δυσκολία του προσδιορισμού του στατιστικού πληθυσμού της δειγματοληψίας. Φυσικά το πρόβλημα θα λυνόταν αν η δειγματοληψία ήταν πανελλαδική και προέκυπτε η διχοτόμηση του δείγματος σε αυτούς που πρόκειται να ψηφίσουν και σε αυτούς που δεν πρόκειται να ψηφίσουν στις εκλογές για πρόεδρο του ΠΑΣΟΚ. Θα ήταν, όμως, πολύ δαπανηρό, διότι είναι χαμηλό το ποσοστό που ψηφίζει ΠΑΣΟΚ σήμερα αν και περισσότεροι θα πάνε να ψηφίσουν, συμπεριλαμβανομένων και εκείνων που αισθάνονται ότι εξυπηρετούν κάποια σκοπιμότητα, θεμιτή ή αθέμιτη λίγη σημασία έχει. Αν πραγματικά ήθελε το ΠΑΣΟΚ να συμβάλλει σε μία αξιόπιστη διενέργεια των δημοσκοπήσεων, θα μπορούσε να τις «επιβλέψει» και να καταδικάσει εκείνες που εξυπηρετούν άλλες σκοπιμότητες ακόμη και των ίδιων των υποψηφίων. Είναι εύκολο να γίνει και σε αυτό μπορούν να συμβάλλουν όλοι οι υποψήφιοι. Καλό στο χώρο θα κάνει. Οι εκτιμήσεις εδώ στηρίζονται μόνο σε προσωπικές «παραστάσεις» και σε αναλυτικά επεξεργασμένες-αξιολογημένες «μαρτυρίες», κυρίως για τους μηχανισμούς στήριξης που συνυπάρχουν χρόνια --από την εποχή του ΠΑΚ ακόμη—μέσα στο χώρο της κεντροαριστεράς, ο οποίος εκτείνεται και πέρα από το χώρο του ΠΑΣΟΚ, ο οποίος συμπεριλαμβάνει τους περίεργους και αυτόκλητους «διανοητές» και «καθοδηγητές» της αριστεράς που με αυτό τον τρόπο συγκάλυπταν τα πραγματικά κίνητρά τους που δεν ήταν άλλα από αυτά των θεσιθηριών και των κρατικών ενισχύσεων. Έχω στο μυαλό μου να αξιολογήσω αυτή την πορεία από την εποχή του ΠΑΚ και ακόμη πιο πίσω σε μία μελλοντική μελέτη. Αλλά, όπως έχω ήδη αναλύσει αλλού, το ΠΑΣΟΚ πρόσφερε πολλά και αυτά θα έπρεπε να είχαν γίνει η βάση για το κτίσιμο ενός υγιούς πολιτικού κόμματος.

They do not have the time to write articles for all subjects. For example, you may find time to write about Libya but you do not have time to write something about Cyprus. After all whatever principles apply to Libya should be applied to Cyprus as well. It is at this point that I want to offer my help. I reproduce on the left column the Libya article and I rewrite it in order to apply to Cyprus. I sent the article in Politico back in January but I got no response. I guess I failed victim of the pandemic which followed this important article by the Great Leader of Turkey.

Κατά τον Λεμπέση, η βλακεία ταυτίζεται με την έλλειψη ευφυΐας, χωρίς όμως να ορίζει την έννοια της ευφυΐας. Προφανώς, εννοεί τον υψηλό δείκτη νοημοσύνης. Μάλιστα, δίνει και μία αναλογία βλακών προς ευφυείς: «δέκα βλάκες καθ᾿ ἑνὸς εὐφυοῦς». Αντίθετα, χρησιμοποιεί μόνο μία φορά τη λέξη «έξυπνος», και αυτή σαρκαστικά, για να δηλώσει τον «εξυπνάκια» Έλληνα που κοροϊδεύει τους «κουτόφραγκους». Σκοπός του δικού μου πονήματος εδώ είναι να παρουσιάσω τις θέσεις του Λεμπέση για το ρόλο των βλακών, αρχίζοντας με τον ορισμό των εννοιών. Η έννοια του έξυπνου αντιδιαστέλλεται με αυτή του ευφυούς και του μορφωμένου, δηλαδή εκείνου που έχει αποκτήσει γνώσεις, όπως πιστοποιούνται με την απόκτηση πτυχίων. Κατά πολλούς, ο πεπαιδευμένος θεωρείται και ευφυής. Οι έννοιες αυτές εξετάζονται στο αμέσως επόμενο μέρος της παρούσης ανάλυσης. Ακολουθεί, στο τρίτο μέρος της εργασίας, ο τρόπος προσέγγισης του Λεμπέση. Στο τέταρτο μέρος παρουσιάζεται η άποψη του Λεμπέση για τη χρησιμότητα των βλακών. Στο πέμπτο μέρος της εργασίας
