Karloutsos’ and AB Elpidophoros’ association with corrupt Cuomo was inescapable yesterday, as Cuomo’s political death was obvious… BUT, as if this was not clear enough association with corruption for one day, the Archbishop chose to meet in his office with the minority of the NY Federation’s Presidents’ Board, “to call for a peaceful resolution” of the problems in the Federation… Your Eminence, the problem in the Federation is the same as in your Church from Istanbul to NY to many Metropolises and parishes: It’s called corruption.

By Nick Stamatakis

Helleniscope has been writing about corrupt NY Governor Cuomo for a long time – and yours truly has been attacking the Governor’s corrupt ethics much longer than the two years we are operating this website… Countless times we referred to the Governor’s “public works projects”, always delayed and always over-budget: For example, La Guardia Airport is being renovated for the past 10 years – and every year of delays adds tens, if not hundreds of millions, to the already bloated budget. (Does this remind you of St.Nicholas? I am told that every month of delay costs GOA one million extra!! And there is no end in sight as the finishing day is pushed back to “the second quarter of 2022”!!)  What is more amazing is that the NY Times in an infamous editorial before the last election, described in detail Cuomo’s corruption – but ended up endorsing him!! Amazing the times we live in!!

Andrew Cuomo however ended up paying the price not for his corruption but for his sexual harassment habitual behavior after the rise of the “me too” movement. It was about time… For the longest time we have been warning GOA to disassociate itself from this totally immoral Governor  – but we were talking on deaf ears… Karloutsos and AB Elpidophoros chose instead to establish closer ties with him, hoping to gain his support for St.Nicholas… Well, why don’t they come out today – or in the upcoming ceremonies of September 11, to publicly support him? I guarantee you they will not: Cuomo is toxic now and politically he is as good as dead. Even creepy Joe Biden – who has been grabbing and kissing any female in a mile radius around him for the past 50 years asked Cuomo to resign yesterday…  (It certainly did not escape us however that in the end, Cuomo will avoid prosecution – the NY A.G. was clear on that and it seems that a deal was struck behind the scenes…)

Here are a few photos to refresh your memory…

How do you all feel now at GOA about your friend Cuomo? Please call him and offer a kind word of sympathy… Tell him you understand his travails because you are dealing with similar problems: You have at least 15 sexual harassment lawsuits waiting to be settled by GOA lawyers… Not to mention the profound blessing of homosexuality by Patriarch Bartholomew, who managed to install gay Archbishops or Metropolitans in 9 out of 10 of his jurisdictions – and some of them are acting like predators!!  And, since “misery loves company”, don’t forget to tell Cuomo that you feel for him as you are all under federal investigation!  Shame on all of you!

The Archbishop has a meeting with the minority of the NY Federation Past Presidents

As if the news about Cuomo were not enough, the Archbishop decided to meet yesterday with the minority of the NY Federation Past Presidents.  Who did he meet?

  • Timoleon Kakouros: An aspiring president of the Federation.  Just a look at his Hitler-like mustache (photo below) will convince you – you don’t need to know anything more about his Hitler-like behavior…
  • Apostolos Tomopoulos. A past president of the Federation, who had “the guts” to publicly declare yesterday that he keeps the Federation “Minutes” book in his home!! And he also declared that the “leader” of this group, Petros Galaltoulas (former president, a known fraudster with a half-million-dollar fraud lawsuit against him pending in NY Supreme Court!) did the same!! Mr. Tomopoulos, do you realize that this is criminal behavior? What do you think the NY AG’s office will do when they soon learn about your public admission of a crime? Meanwhile, there are countless other pieces of evidence of violations of 501c3 laws at the Federation!
  • Giorgos Georgopoulos, a past president of the Federation who has been either cursing and fistfighting or simply attempting to fistfight (until someone stopped him) in every single meeting at the Federation for the past 20 years!! Just yesterday, lawyer Maria Markou filed a defamation lawsuit against him on behalf of her husband Costas Lambropoulos!!
  • Nikos Vellios, a 90-plus-year old former president, who is way past his prime and seems to have less contact with his surroundings than creepy Joe Biden…

The fact of the meeting itself is a testament to the panic of the chronic abusers of the Federation. They are losing the game and they needed support from a “higher authority”… Their only interest is controlling the annual “5th Avenue Greek Independence Day Parade” (organized by the Federation) out of which they profit politically and/or financially… Behind them is the usual suspect: former TNH publisher A.Diamataris, who has been “selling” the parade to narcissistic Greek politicians and even more narcissistic Greek-American nouveau-riche types… Diamataris has undeniable long-term ties with all of the above – and especially with the fraudster Galatoulas…

By choosing to meet only the one side, the minority, AB Elpidophoros chose ONCE AGAIN,  to associate himself with corruption and not with transparency, accountability, renewal, and change, as he should… It would be better if he would just issue a statement, as he ended up doing yesterday, “calling for a peaceful resolution”. And it would be infinitely better if he stayed out of the conflict and let the internal process – or the intervention of Justice (we are dealing with criminal behavior!!) – take its course.

When a supposed leader in every single turn of his tenure chooses corruption he has no place leading this Church…

  1. Ha! My mom’s all-time favorite line! I carried it on to the next gen! Best advice you can give your children, nieces, nephews, friends, parishioners…… Guess what? It works!

  2. Πες μου με ποιόν πάει και θα σας πω, ποίος είσαι as my late mother too, always said. So true.

  3. Many if not most GO faithful are unaware of the scope and depth of the corruption in the Church and government. The “swamp” needs to preserve itself and will stop at nothing until all he’ll breaks loose. Hold on to your hats folks.

  4. OMG this is among Best of Helleniscope!!!
    Where would we the ignorant laity be without brilliant Nick Stamatakis throwing light on the darkness,
    the corruption of GOA??

    Very curious how unholy gang is feeling now? What’ll happen with rebuilding the
    St. Nicholas Shrine??

  5. Sir — Betcha they were depending on global tourism to fill their coffers- as NYC is now mandating indoor masks- tourism flew out the window..crime is keeping them away-away– between crime and masks- and an unbearable leadership deficit—- they can come open the doors– they the elite— no deplorables will show… nada…. they’re on their own…

  6. The Tres Amigos, or the Three Stooges. Take your pick! Remains to be seen if justice will prevail…They are like Teflon-TOXIC and POISONOUS but are able to deflect anything which tries to stick.
    Priceless Nick. Thank you for keeping up with the latest breaking scandalous news.

  7. ΚΑΘΕ ΟΡΘΟΔΟΞΟ ΣΠΙΤΙ ΠΡΕΠΕΙ ΝΑ ΓΙΝΗ ΕΚΚΛΗΣΙΑ ΜΕ ΚΑΝΤΗΛΙΑ ΚΑΙ ΘΥΜΙΑΤΑ ΚΑΘΕ ΜΕΡΑ

  8. PATHETIC, LAUGHABLE LOSERS

    THIS CROWD CAN’T WAIT TO MAKE ST NICHOLAS “A BY-THE-SLICE PIZZARIA AND PAID BATHROOM”($3 bucks per use) SO THEY CAN EXERCISE THE ONLY TALENTS THEY REALLY HAVE—RUNNING ALL CASH BUSINESSES

    BART AND ELPI CAN ANOINT THE FIRST SLICES AND KARLOUTSOS CAN BE DAY MANAGER. RETIRED METROS CAN WORK 5PM TO CLOSING AT MIDNIGHT AND MAKE THE NIGHT BANK DEPOSIT DROP OFF.

    BY THE WAY, NONE OF THESE MISANTHROPES HAS ANY FRIENDS.

  9. Isn’t Taliban GOA, Do Nothing Archons plus Elpidoody giving the Athenagoras Humanitarian Award to Bill Cosby this year?

  10. But American: the unholy gang has each other as best friends
    and they’re fat cat Archons right?
    This clique lives in alternate universe defying the light and don’t care about the sheeple they fleece.

  11. Five star ⭐️👏😂👍🥸👁🎶 report!!!!
    When will the members of the GOA church flock get some guts and clean up the GOA?

  12. IT’S TIME TO STRIP THESE SO CALLED “MEN OF THE CLOTH” OF THEIR COLLARS, POSITIONS AND AUTHORITY. LIKE AMERICAN SAID, PIZZA IS ABOUT ALL THEY’RE TRULY WORTH. THEY ARE FAKES FLEECING THE BLIND HERD OF SHEEP.

    WHERE IS THE DISCERNMENT ON BEHALF OF THE FLOCK?!

  13. But if you clean up the GOA who is there to steal from? There’s a careful eco-system here in Nea Byzantium that includes politicians, clergy, and oligarchs–and innumerable favors and handouts on which many in power rely. We can’t have everyone selling the 79th Street Combo Special at once at St Nicholas Shrine–“Large slice of Olympic Pizza (fake cheese) and Medium Fountain Drink $3.49. Maybe, some can make candy on the boardwalk like their grandparents? Elpi has to make these decisions because he’s paid the big bucks. How about a “Blessed by the Patriarch” large slice combo for $5.49 with rigani from Sparta? We’ll get in the black fast with a plan like that and then go back to stealing from ourselves like always.
