The Greek Parliamentary Elections of 2009; a mirror-image of the present “Political Culture” of the country (Part B)
In the first part of our article, after observing the various “simulated” and “empty” political behavioral patterns of political personalities, of journalists, of political analysts, of gallop statisticians, of managers of the private and public media, as well as of state officials who oversee all processes related to registering and transmitting all voting results; what we mean , as we observed this ” tasteless theatrical performance” played out on Sunday night, October 4 2009, the set date for Greece’s Parliamentary Elections, we decided that it was “worth the effort” to examine “honestly” and “objectively” the degree of “political maturity” and “democratization” which exists within the context of Greece’s “modern political culture”.

In the previous sections of our article on Aristotle Onassis, we described the strategies, the personal aspirations and the ethics of this protagonist within the context of his entrepreneurial activities worldwide ,and how he exploited in an “unfeeling” and “self-centered” manner opponents, colleagues and whole societies when these human components found themselves in a weak position. In exactly the same way , Aristotle Onassis functioned in his very personal relations, whether these were within his very own family or in the relationships he created with the 3 women who made a real imprint in his life; Athina(Tina) Livanos, Maria Callas and Jackie Kennedy.
We left “Olympic Airlines” for our “epilogue”,because I believe that it represents the business venture of Aristotle Onassis which mostly reflects the “one-dimensional” and “ruthless” personality of this greek shipping magnate(Neanderthal), but also the “fixation” of modern greeks to mythologize that which is “mediocre” and “false” in society.Examining various facts concerning “Olympic Airlines”,we become aware of the great “chasm” which exists between “modern greek myth-making” and “modern greek realities”(at all levels),as well as of the enormous “hypocricy” and “amorality”* which Onassis exercised in his life,since he always pretended to be a “down to earth” greek,who adored the greek culture(ancient and modern),who valued highly his “greek ethnicity” and was deeply in love with the natural beauties of Greece.I believe that all modern Greeks today have the “habit” of expressing this type of worship for anything which is greek;how authentic and real this feeling is,only “they” themselves know!!!
