The Macedonian League condemns anti-Hellenic cartoon and the formation of Albanian neo-Nazi organizations in Canada, USA and abroad.
The Macedonian League condemns a fascist cartoon, released by the newly-established Albanian neo-Nazi party “Lëvizja për Shqipëri të Bashkuar (LSHB)”- English translation: The Movement for a United Albania. The cartoon, which was promoted by the party’s leader Tahir Veliu, depicts Greece’s national heroes, Theodoros Kolokotronis and Markos Botsaris, posing with an Albanian Nazi salute.
Since founding the neo-Nazi party in July of 2016, Tahir Veliu, the leader of the LSHB, has been actively promoting anti-Hellenism and destabilization of the Balkans. Veliu is openly encouraging and recruiting young Albanians within Greece, the Balkans and around the world to form affiliated political organizations, whilst demanding that all Albanians participate in raising funds to purchase military equipment and weapons for the party’s armed militia wing. The armed militia wing is being created for the purposes of fulfilling the LSHB’s ultimate aim – the creation of a “United Albania” encompassing not only sovereign Greek territory, but also territories from Montenegro, Serbia and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
Furthermore, Tahir Veliu has published a book detailing the neo-Nazi party’s platform, which calls upon Albanians to rise up and peacefully demand the creation of “United Albania.” With an armed militia, certain death awaits Greeks and Balkan nationals who stand in the way of Veliu’s dream. The book is currently on sale via Amazon, eBay and other international online marketplaces.
Although banned in Greece and Serbia, it is disappointing that the leader of Albania’s neo-Nazi party was allowed to enter the United States on January 28, 2017, without being questioned by US authorities. Veliu was so ecstatic that he cleared US customs for his trip to New York (in order to form an organization in the city), that he posted a picture on Facebook of the Homeland Security stamp in his passport for all to see with a taunting message directed to Greece: “A special greeting for Greece fascist. With love from United States of America.”
While in New York, Tahir Veliu met and posed for pictures with local leaders of the Albanian community and unfurled a flag of the paramilitary organization UCK (known as KLA in English) – a known terrorist group. All images are available on the press release directly on our website.
According to the party’s official website and social media channels, there are operational groups active in Canada and the United States.
At this time there is no further indication of operational groups in western Europe, Australia or elsewhere. The party claims however, to have operational groups within Greece and throughout the Balkans, that are ready to wage battle on Veliu’s behalf.
In Canada two Albanian neo-Nazi organizations are operational and are located in the provinces of Ontario and Alberta:
> Ontario, Canada: LSHB – Pejë (located in the city of Mississauga, Ontario);
> Alberta, Canada: at the time of publishing an online presence for this group was not found, however the party’s main web page depicts an image with a Canadian phone number. This number leads to a telephone number in Grande Prairie, Alberta.
In the United States one Albanian neo-Nazi organization is currently operational in the state of New York.
This racist, anti-Hellenic behavior, which clearly promotes Nazism in the modern era, is not conducive to Greece’s national security, nor does it serve as a force for political stability in the Balkans. We call upon people around the world who witness this racist behavior in their community, to immediately report it to their local intelligence and law-enforcement authorities.

Something is brewing in the Balkans again. Some US contributor to Foreign Policy said that the Balkans should be divided along ethnic lines. A former runner for the position of Secretary of State recently said that FYROM is not a country and should be split up. This man lobbies for the Albanian’s wet dream of a “Greater Albania”. That lobby is strong. These people have influence over foreign policy. Don’t underestimate this. This is how the whole thing with the war with Yugoslavia over Kosovo started.
yes. forget his name right now. read somewhere he is paid by the Albanian lobby in the USA
Republican Congressman Dana Rohrabacher is the man, with a girl’s name.
I know only Dana International :p
Trump and the Nazi loonies around him are itching for a war. They will gladly support any crackpot ideas that will lead to military conflict. Greece is in a very dangerous position now that Trump is in power.
Not only Greece but also Ukraine and the Baltics. There are two schools of thought surrounding Trump. One is Bannon (and co) and his dark vision of “the fourth turning” and then there are the representatives of the deep state: The generals on his security council. So, it is f*cked either way. They wouldn’t doubt to turn Europe into a smoking pile of rubble if that would save the American empire. And then there are the high ranking officials on the Russian side dying left and right. On that side strange things is going on as well.
Yes, we’ve got two tribes alright.
“Trump is itching for a war”…..and you know this how?
Seems to me he’s fully occupied fighting the media war on his own doorstep!
We know this because several of his policy advisors stated their views on the world over the last few years. They were appointed by Trump because of these views — that the world needs another world war. This is factual evidence of their opinions, and already Trump has started with statements about the US needing to have more nuclear weapons and increasing the military budget by 10% when the USA needs to cut state spending (or increase taxes).
As for the media war, this is just part-time propaganda. It costs little effort as the Trumpeters just make up lie after lie, and try to discredit the mainstream media. Some commentators see this is a distraction from the real issue, that Trump could be guilty of treason through links with Russia. The media war is less dangerous than the revelations of links with enemy powers in order to be elected: this is clearly a ground for impeachment and criminal prosecution. Trump would probably create a world war just to avoid impeachment, of course.
