The possible/alleged murder of Alex Meshivili has taken so many twists and turns, it is impossible (for us on the outside) to know what really happened. The only concrete thing we know is that he is still missing. And has been missing for 14 long months.
I have felt quite devastated by the suffering of […]
I was invited to take part in a blogswarm called Take back the Blog

This is what it’s all about.
The children.
These children.
Doing what children do.
Playing.
Laughing.
Taking a shower.
Being friends and making friends.
Loving their families.
Living. And being a child.
Surviving.
And very soon they will be evicted.With no place to go. Some have left already and others will be leaving for seasonal jobs.
I hope I can be there to witness and […]
The response to my recent outing by nationalists and racists has been incredible. People have posted on their own blogs and the story has spread all over the blogworld. I have been unable to respond individually to everyone due to the sheer number of voices speaking out against what happened to me. One blog post […]
A huge and heartfelt thank you to everyone who has left a comment here and posted about what is happening to me over on their blogs. I am deeply moved and and proud to be part of this strong and passionate community.
The nationalist blogger who posted my full name and details of what I do […]
The racists have found me and are posting my real life identity (including my real name) around the internet. I guess it was only a matter of time. I am not that hard to find so, in a strange way, I’m quite surprised that it took them so long. I have asked as politely as […]

I realised later that this information is somewhat buried in the post and wanted to highlight it. He is believed to be on the west coast of the US, possibly […]
THIS IS NOT MY COUNTRY/DD haters seemed to have reached an all-time high this past few weeks. So I did a bit of delving into IP addresses and low and behold, it seems some of my old “friends” have had a lot of time on their hands. James/Juan/Truthseeker are the same person and I have […]
On a completely different note to the last post…
Thank you so much, Sokari, for this Thinking Blogger award. I am very proud of this one.
The rules:
1. If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with links to 5 blogs that make you think,
2. Link to this post so that people can easily find […]
I’ve just finished deleting the deluge of racists comments and insults that have been posted here. Thankfully, most did not get past moderation. Anyone who has had a comment deleted/edited is banned. Do not give yourself credit as being singled out for special treatment. You are not the first and (sadly) you will not be […]
It seems that the bulldozers are moving in on Votanikos today. I am trying to find out what is going on… I'll let you know as soon as I know… We knew this was coming but now what ?
UPDATE: Panayote Dimitras of the Greek Helsinki Monitor informed me that the demolition of […]
