Embracing the Resurrection: A Glorious Celebration of Greek Orthodox Easter
Embracing the Resurrection: A Glorious Celebration of Greek Orthodox Easter
G'day to all my wonderful friends in Christ! As we approach the joyous occasion of Greek Orthodox Easter, I want to take a moment to shed some light on this sacred and meaningful celebration. While it shares similarities with other Easter observances, Greek Orthodox Easter, or Pascha as we affectionately call it, carries its own unique traditions and customs that hold deep significance for our community.
Greek Easter falls on the same day as Orthodox Easter, but the way in which it is celebrated may vary slightly across different churches, locations, and cultures. However, one thing remains constant: the reverence and joy with which we honor the resurrection of Jesus Christ after his crucifixion.
The heart of Greek Easter lies in the Paschal Vigil services held on Holy Saturday, the day preceding Jesus' resurrection. In Orthodox and Greek Orthodox churches, Holy Saturday is a time of anticipation and preparation, culminating in a midnight service to mark the moment of Christ's triumph over death.
At the stroke of midnight, candles are lit, and the triumphant proclamation of "Christos Anesti" (meaning "Christ is risen") echoes through the sanctuary, filling our hearts with hope and renewal. This midnight service is a sacred and awe-inspiring experience, symbolising the transition from darkness to light, from death to life.
Following the midnight mass, many families gather to partake in a festive feast, rejoicing in the resurrection of our Lord. Traditional Greek Easter meals often feature symbolic foods such as red-dyed hardboiled eggs, representing the blood of Christ, and succulent lamb, symbolising Christ himself as the Paschal Lamb.
One cannot overlook the presence of Tsoureki, a delectable sweet Easter bread adorned with a red hardboiled egg, signifying the promise of new life and rebirth. This cherished delicacy adds a touch of sweetness to our celebration, reminding us of the abundance of God's love and grace.
Greek Easter, or Pascha, holds profound meaning for us as believers. It represents the eternal Passover from death to life, from earth to heaven, and serves as a poignant reminder of the transformative power of Christ's resurrection.
As we gather with our loved ones to commemorate this sacred event, let us reflect on the gift of new and eternal life that Christ has bestowed upon us. May the spirit of hope, renewal, and joy fill our hearts as we embrace the resurrection and the promise of salvation it brings.
Wishing you all a blessed and joyous Greek Orthodox Easter, on this Holy Friday
Amen.

The News Benders 1968 - Fake News Prediction Or Revealing The Truth?
The News-Benders: Today's Scripted Realities Unveiled
G'day Time-Travelling Punters,
Let's hop into the time capsule and zoom back to January 10, 1968. Picture this: BBC4's Thirty-Minute Theatre, still clinging to the heartbeat of live drama. "The News-Benders" steps into the spotlight, one of the last warriors refusing to succumb to the ease of pre-recording.
Rudolph Cartier, the maestro, orchestrates this masterpiece - a two-hander waltzing between a handful of sets. Cartier's direction? Like a finely crafted Aussie Shiraz — smooth and stylish.
Enter Desmond Lowden, the script sorcerer. It's part Nostradamus, part Orwell cranked up on Vegemite sandwiches. The predicted moon landing date might be a tad off, but the audacity to foreshadow moon landing conspiracy theories? Bloody brilliant! Who knew we'd be debating moon landings in a Hollywood basement or hangar?
But hold onto your Akubras, there's more. "The News-Benders" not only saw the rise of global media moguls but predicted the snoopy surveillance culture we're tangled up in today. Move aside, Orwell, because JG spills the beans about a 'Ministry of Morality.' Shades of Orwell's ministries, but with a '68 twist. Forget overt oppression; in Lowden's crystal ball, control happens invisibly through MSM manipulation.
Now, let's fast-forward to today. Vietnam was transitioning into the first 'television war,' and folks were just starting to grapple with the TV's influence in politics and beyond. Lowden's crystal ball-gazing? Sharp as a kangaroo's kick. Cut to today, where media manipulation is practically a global sport, and certain news services flex their political muscles like they're training for a heavyweight title.
But here's the kicker, mates. "The News-Benders" spills the beans on how 'THEY' have been pulling the strings since the TV and mass media strolled into town. Fake news, faux space travel, wars, radiation scares—it's like a playbook for global-scale trickery.
Now, here's the punchline. This isn't just a stroll down memory lane; it's a revelation about today's world of misinformation. Truth is the rare Dragon Egg (a nod to the kids who played/play Minecraft), we're all searching for in the tall grass of fake news.
So, grab your Tim Tams, sit back, and let's rewind to '68. "The News-Benders" didn't just predict; it nailed the script of today's manufactured realities and fake news circus orchestrated by the MSM.
Stay awake, Legends,
Senator Papahatziharalambrous (Not a real senator, unfortunately).

AI Telecommunications Lockdown Of All Apps After 60 Minutes Use In 2024 For Climate Change!
AI Telecommunications Lockdown: Woke Overreach or Climate Communism Reality?
G'day Legends! Senator Papahatziharalambrous here, your favorite truth-teller, bringing you the latest bombshell news that's shaking the foundations of our social media-obsessed world. Grab your tin hats and prepare for a wild ride because Telstra and Optus are introducing a groundbreaking AI "carbon-neutral" access system for all your favorite apps on your smartphones this year.
Now, before we dive into this techno-madness, let me extend my sincere congratulations to all you woke champions out there! You did it! Your relentless virtue signaling and climate change hysteria have finally given birth to what I like to call "Climate Communism" – the AI lockdown on your precious social media apps.
Here's the lowdown: starting soon, every user of X, Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and every other social media platform will get the boot after a mere 61 minutes of use over a 24-hour period. Why? Well, according to the science, your carbon footprint during that hour is apparently equivalent to using up and throwing out 666 plastic straws or taking a casual flight from Melbourne to Sydney. Go figure!
But here's the kicker – all you conservative voters and climate skeptics out there, fear not! You can opt out of this AI madness. Just sign a sworn statutory declaration that you're not buying into the climate hysteria, and voilà, you get 24-hour access. Can't wait to see our esteemed leaders like PM Alco, Bill ‘man boobs’ Shorten, Pennywontdrop Wong, Clementitty Ford and the Twitterati virtuosos swear allegiance to the LNP or One Nation just to keep their scrolling privileges.
Now, let's share a chuckle for all those climate change students who'll be locked out of their favorite apps. Oh, the irony! Climate Communism has arrived, and it's knocking on the doors of TikTokers, and Twitter bleeding hearts alike. To the useful idiotic drongos, who danced their hearts out on TikTok, and the faux bleeding hearts on Twitter – you made your bed, now lie in it and suffer in your stinky underwear cunts! 🤣
Source? The 13 O'clock News – where the truth is told like it is, no holds barred. Stay awake punters, and brace yourselves for the brave new world of AI lockdowns. Until next time, keep laughing, keep fighting, and let's see where this climate communism takes them and us.

The Left's Tolerance Paradox: A Conservative's Dilemma By Senator Papahatziharalambrous
The Left's Tolerance Paradox: A Conservative's Dilemma By Senator Papahatziharalambrous
In the woke web of modern democracy, where diversity of thought should be a celebrated virtue, I find myself musing over a peculiar paradox. Why, I ponder, am I expected to extend respect and tolerance to every religious belief, no matter how alien it may be to my own, when the bastions of leftist ideology seem unwilling to offer the same courtesy to my conservative viewpoint?
Here I stand, a lone conservative voice in the cacophony of a so-called democratic society, where dissenting opinions have become the black sheep. In the realm of social media, I've been reported, shadow-banned, and relegated to enemy number one for daring to harbor a conservative perspective. It's a democracy, they say, yet the reality feels more like a Kafkaesque nightmare.
The irony is glaring. The left, champions of tolerance and diversity, seem to crumble when faced with a diversity of thought that doesn't align with their own. As I grapple with this absurdity, I'm confronted with the demand to embrace and respect religious practices and beliefs that offend my very understanding of God. Well, fuck that, I've had enough.
Why should I play the tolerant one when the left, in their pursuit of an allegedly inclusive society, shows no inclination to tolerate my beliefs? It's a two-faced dance, and I've decided to step out of it. The left's lofty ideals of diversity and tolerance suddenly vanish when faced with the diversity of opinions that don't fit their narrative.
So, here's my declaration: I'm done being the sacrificial lamb on the altar of leftist hypocrisy. If the left wants respect for every conceivable religious practice, they ought to extend the same courtesy to every conceivable opinion. An eye for an eye, a fair exchange in the marketplace of ideas, lest we all become slaves to the whims of those who believe a man can give birth and a woman can wield a metaphorical cock but only in the purportedly tolerant havens of Western democracies.
In this age of woke agendas and ideological battles, the call for reciprocal respect and understanding reverberates. If the left truly wishes to champion diversity, let them start with the diversity of thought, even when it's cloaked in the conservative garb they so vehemently despise. The battleground of ideas should be level, not tilted in favor of the self-proclaimed tolerant who, ironically, seem to struggle with the essence of true tolerance.
Join me in our fight to take back our states, drain the billabong and make Australia grouse again!

🚨 For Australia Manifesto: Protect and Preserve Australian Values By Senator Papahatziharalambrous
Preserving the Heartbeat of Our Nation
G'day Punters! Senator Papahatziharalambrous here, and today, we're diving deep into the heart of the "For Australia Manifesto." Grab a cuppa, settle in, and let's chat about preserving the true blue Aussie spirit.
Protect and Preserve Australian Values:
In the great land Down Under, we've got something special—the Aussie way of life, democratic institutions, and hard-won basic freedoms. But mates, we need to protect them like a kangaroo protects its joey. That's why, in the "For Australia Manifesto," we're laying down some ground rules to keep our values intact.
Free Thought, Speech, and Democracy:
We're talking about the fundamentals here—free thought, speech, parliamentary democracy. It's the Aussie way to say what's on our minds, and we're not letting anyone take that from us.
Education Reform:
Let's hit the reset button on education. No more bureaucracy or special interest groups messing with the curriculum. It's time for a true-blue Aussie education that celebrates our history and values.
Immigration and Good Behaviour Bonds:
For the next two decades, we're putting a pause on immigration. But when we open the floodgates again, it's after a fair dinkum referendum on numbers and origins. And here's the kicker—a ten-year good behaviour bond for all migrants. Break the law? See ya later, mate.
English as a Second Language:
We're not saying you have to speak Aussie slang, but you've got to nail the lingo. A two-year English as a Second Language course is on the cards, with a fair dinkum exam to top it off. Got to get at least 51% to call yourself a true-blue Aussie.
Places of Worship:
No new mosques, cobbers. We're all about acceptance, but let's not forget what makes Australia great. It's our freedom, tolerance, and history that brings people here in the first place.
Preserving Our Strength:
More than 340 mosques for 650,000 Muslims? That's fair. But let's take a look at Saudi Arabia—not a single Christian church for their one million catholic foreign workers. We're leading the way in embracing different cultures, but never at the expense of our own.
Our strength lies in our freedom, tolerance, humanity, traditions, and the history that ties us to the heart of Western Civilization. People have ventured here for these very values, and we're not letting that change.
So, legends, that's the lowdown on protecting and preserving the heartbeat of our nation. The "For Australia Manifesto" is all about keeping the true blue spirit alive and thriving for future generations. Stick around for more, and let's make Australia grouse again!
Cheers,
Senator Papahatziharalambrous, For Australia!

Make Australia Grouse Again! 👊⚔️🇦🇺 Lyrics and Vocals: Senator Papahatziharalambrous 🎙️
Title: "Make Australia Grouse Again!" (G Major)
Lyrics and Vocals: Senator Papahatziharalambrous
(Verse 1)
In the land down under, where our stories unfold,
A tale of hope and glory, remains untold.
Born in the sunburned plains, beneath the Southern Cross
I thought our homeland's flame would glow eternally.
But poverty is here to stay, our democracy's in decay,
Now's the time to rise, and make a better day.
(Chorus)
Make Australia grouse again, from the outback to our shores,
We are the solution, mates, of that I am sure!
So Let's Drain the billabong and Take back our states
The Courage we don't lack to make Australia - GREAT!
(Verse 2)
So rise, Aussie souls -
From the mining towns to the urban shores.
(Our) Democracy's, worth fighting for!
In the spirit of mateship, we'll all have a say
(Chorus)
Make Australia grouse again, from the outback to our shores,
We are the solution, mates, of that I'm sure!
So let's Make Australia grouse -
Drain the billabong, Take back our states
We are the solution to -
Make Australia grouse again
(Outro)
Make Australia Great!
Cheers,
Senator Christos Papahatziharalambrous
GOD BLESS AUSTRALIA!
*Remember I am NOT a professional singer, comedian, writer or anything your millionaire arts community should be doing, but won't - to fight for your basic human rights.

For Australia: A Pledge to Break the Duopoly By Senator Papahatziharalambrous
For Australia: A Pledge to Break the Duopoly By Senator Papahatziharalambrous
G'day, legends of this Great Southern Land! It's your mate, Senator Papahatziharalambrous, and today, I'm throwing down a fair dinkum pledge for the heart and soul of our beloved Australia. So grab a cold one, kick back, and let's talk about a vision that's as Aussie as a snag on the barbie.
My Fellow Aussies, if you get me into Parliament, I will do the rest #ForAustralia!
What do I mean by "For Australia"? I mean ripping up the playbook of the tired old duopoly—the ALP and LNP—that have been tag-teaming our nation for eighty long years. They've sold off a quarter of our land to the CCP, traded away our unique Aussie way of life, and worst of all, weakened the bonds of the Australian family. By the way, when was the last time your council rates, electricity, gas or water bills went down? Yeah, never. It's time for a change, a real change.
Renouncing the Duopoly:
Let's take ownership of our vote, chuck out every politician riding the duopoly wave, and reclaim the liberties, the greatness, and the private lives we've lost. It's time to say, "Nah, mate, we want, and we're taking our country back."
My Pledge to You:
"I promise to resign if I break one election promise or go against any policy in the For Australia Manifesto. My word is my bond. I'll chuck all my wages back into the public purse and face prosecution for fraud. How many pollies can say that? We deserve this standard in public service. I've even aced a national police check, and I'll be putting forward a bill for all sitting politicians and future candidates to pass a Working With Children police check. Let's be as transparent as the crystal-clear waters of Bondi Beach."
So, join me, your potential Senator, in this ripper journey #ForAustralia. Let's crack open a new chapter where politicians do what they're meant to — serve the people, protect our land, and make Australia grouse again.
Cheers,
Senator Papahatziharalambrous, For Australia!
For Australia Manifesto: Freedom, Democracy and Families.
God Bless Australia!
