John, Can you give us the inside scoop on this one.

Elder Paisios prophecies regarding Turkey:

“I see that Turkey will be divided. The ethnic minorities, the Kurds and the Armenians will ask for autonomy and EU will request the independence of these minorities. It will be pay back time for the Bosnia-Herzegovina favor.”

It’s rather sad: Obama’s first state trip abroad will be to Turkey. That should tell us something right there. There’s no reason for him to plead the case of the EP since the Phanar is already a dwindling asset, and also because he has the GOAA firmly in his hip pocket. (Rule #1 of strip-poker: wear a lot of clothes.)

After further reflection you are correct. After Obamakis and Bidenopoulos sell out The Church. The GOA would issue a kind and gentle press release along the lines of “The Patriarchate had to be destroyed in ordered to be saved” or “We were for religious freedom before we were against religious freedom”

When Obama accedes to the Turks’ demands (whatever they want), these bootlickers will find a way to justify it. It’s a rare man who has the courage of his convictions –think Jim Cramer on CNBC. Too bad the hierarchs of the GOAA don’t have his integrity.

Then the odds are better than 50/50 the GOA is going to give some type of award to Obama just as he undermines the fundamental truths of Orthodoxy and real relgious freedom.

Will the Greeks still support him?
