ΦΩΤO: Από την χθεσινή επίσκεψη του Διαματάρη στο πρωθυπουργικό γραφείο για να δείξει το πτυχίο του από το Κολουμπια… Γέλασε και ο πάσα πικραμένος… Φυσικά πρόκειται για “επεξεργασμένη” φωτογραφία – που είναι όμως η αληθινή απεικόνιση της πραγματικότητας…

Κάθε πεντέξι μήνες ο Ελληνισμός και η Ομογένεια παρατηρούν ένα αξιοπερίεργο φαινόμενο: O πρώην εκδότης, πρώην υφυπουργός και πρώην αξιοπρεπής κύριος Διαματάρης σηκώνει το κεφάλι του από το χώμα όπου σέρνεται σαν το σκουλήκι εδώ και τρία χρόνια και προσποιείται ότι “δεν συμβαίνει τίποτα”, “όλα καλά” και “εδώ είμαι και πάλι”. Και κάθε πεντέξι μήνες τρώει μια ασύλληπτη σφαλιάρα από όλους, και χώνεται πάλι στην τρύπα του μέχρι την επόμενη φορά…
Πρόπερσι για παράδειγμα συναντήθηκε σα να μη τρέχει τίποτα με τον Ανδριώτη, σα δυό βρυκόλακες και οι δυό, όπως γράψαμε τότε…. Σαν να μην είχαν καταστρέψει και οι δυό τους την Ομογένεια για πάνω από 40 χρόνια… Κάτσανε και τα είπανε σαν δυο παλιοί καλοί φίλοι – και άσε τους Ομογενείς έξω να μας μουτζώνουνε…Και προκλητικά ζήτησε να τους πούμε και κανένα ευχαριστώ. Εμείς γίναμε πλούσιοι στην πλάτη της Ομογένειας εκεί που δεν είχαμε στον ήλιο μοίρα… Κάντε το και σεις αν μπορείτε…
Τώρα όμως πλησιάζουν εκλογές στην “χώρα της φαιδράς πορτοκαλέας” και όλοι οι κατεργάρηδες έχουν αρχίσει τον αγώνα για την αρπαγή της κουτάλας… Της κουτάλας που θα τους βοηθήσει να βάλουν χέρι μαζι με τα άλλα λαμόγια στον κρατικό κορβανά. Ετσι λοιπόν και ο “τσομπάνης από τη Λήμνο” κοιτάζεται στον καθρέφτη και λέει στον εαυτό του:
“Μια χαρά παιδί είμαι στα εβδομήντα-κάτι μου… Μάλιστα από τότε που σταμάτησα να βάφω το μαλλί μου γκριζοκόκκινο, η άσπρη μου γεροντική κόμη μου δίνει ένα έξτρα τόνο αξιοπρέπειας και σοβαρότητας – τομέας όπου πάντα υστερούσα. Τι μου λείπει δηλαδή; Εχω καμιά τριαανταριά σπιταρώνες στην Αμερική, την Κρήτη, τη Λήμνο – και στην Αθήνα το σπίτι μου είναι στον ίδιο δρόμο με το προεδρικό μέγαρο. Εστάμπλισμεντ του κερατά, δηλαδή! Γιατί να μην δικαιούμαι και εγώ να επανέλθω “εν δόξη και τιμή” στα ανώτατα αξιώματα της πολιτείας;”
Και συνεχίζοντας να ναρκισσεύεται μπροστά στον καθρέφτη λέει: “Οι άλλοι δηλαδή που έφαγαν τον αγλέουρα από το κράτος και ακόμα έχουν τιμές και αξιώματα καλύτεροι είναι; Επειδή είπα ένα ψεματάκι πρέπει να το λουστώ μέχρι να πεθάνω; Σιγά μη χάσει η Βενετιά βελόνι… Εδώ έχει γεμίσει η Ελλάδα με ψευτοδιδακτορικά που τα αγοράζουν στο παζάρι με το κιλό… Το δικό μου το προβληματάκι με το ΜΒΑ από το Κολούμπια τους μάρανε;”…
Απτόητος συνεχίζει: “Τι είπατε; Οτι δεν είπα απλά ψέματα για το ΜΒΑ από το Κολούμπια αλλά και για το ΒΑ από το Κουίνς Κόλετζ; Οτι δηλαδή πριν 45 τόσα χρόνια πήγα και γράφτηκα στο Κολούμπια λέγοντας τους ψέματα ότι έχω αποφοιτήσει, ενώ δεν είχα πάρει το βασικό μου πτυχίο; Λεπτομέρειες… Πολλοί θα το δούνε και λίγοι θα το καταλάβουνε… Ο πολύς ο κόσμος θα δει την μουτσουνάρα μου δίπλα στην πρωθυπουργάρα μας, τον Κυριάκο, και θα πιστέψει ότι όλα είναι εντάξει…”
Σιγά μην πάνε πίσω να ψάξουνε να βρούνε την αλήθεια που κάτι κακές γλώσσες είχαν την επιμονή να βγάλουν στη φόρα (όπως ας πούμε εδώ σε αυτόν τον σύνδεσμο σε κάποιον ξεροκέφαλο Πειραιώτη με ρίζες από την κακή πλευρά της Κρήτης, από αυτούς τους αγριάνθρωπους από τα Σφακιά)… Αυτόν θα πιστέψουνε; Θα ψάξουνε μήπως να βρούνε τι πήγα και έκανα εγώ με τον ομογενή πρόεδρο του Κολούμπια τον Μαγκλάρα και πως το κανόνισα το θεματάκι μου στο πι και φι; Εγώ είμαι αητός ντε… Τι τα έχουμε τα πτυχία; Μαζι και 45 χρόνια πείρα στη λαμογιά; Ενα τέτοιο απλό ζητηματάκι δεν θα κανόνιζα;
Πήγα πρώτα στο Κουίνς Κόλετζ και με ελαφρά πηδηματάκια κατάφερα να μου δώσουν πτυχίο το Σεπτέμβρη του 2020 (DIAMATARIS – EXHIBIT E). Και μετά έσουρα μια αγωγή στο Κολούμπια την οποία λύσαμε με φιλικότατο τρόπο εκτός δικαστηρίου – και έτσι πήρα και το ΜΒΑ από το Κολούμπια το 2021… Πάρτε και σεις αν μπορείτε δύο τέτοια πτυχία σε ένα χρόνο…
Στο σημείο αυτό οι μούτζες από την Ομογένεια πέφτουν σύννεφο και έτσι ο γυμνοσάλιαγκας Διαματάρης αναγκάζεται και πάλι να αποχωρήσει. Μην ανησυχείτε όμως, σε λίγους μήνες θα είναι και πάλι μαζί μας… Επειδή έχει “προσφέρει” τόσα πολλά στον Ελληνισμό και οι μούτζες δεν του αρκούν… Θέλει να ένα ομαδικό γιουχάρισμα σε πιο επίσημο χώρο – στην παρέλαση στην 5η Λεωφόρο ας πούμε… Εκεί που κάποτε έβαλε τον Γαλάτουλα να τον ντύσει Γκραν Μαρσαλ…

PHOTO: From yesterday’s visit of Diamataris to the prime minister’s office to show his MBA from Columbia. Everyone laughed loudly… Of course, this is an “edited” photo – but unfortunately, it is a much better depiction of reality…
=========================
The Omogenia Is Spitting At Him Non-stop, But Diamataris Thinks It’s Raining…
By Nick Stamatakis
Every five or six months the Greek-American community notices a curious phenomenon: The former TNH publisher, former deputy minister and former dignified person Mr. Diamataris raises his head from the soil where he has been crawling like a worm for three years and pretends that “nothing is happening”, ” everything is fine” and “here I am again”. And every five or six months he is slapped in an unimaginable from everyone, and shoves himself back into his hole until the next time…
Last year, for example, he met Andriotis as if nothing was wrong, both of them as vampires, as we wrote then… As if both of them had not destroyed Omogenia for over 40 years… They sat and talked like two good old friends – and pretended that the community outside was just smearing them… “We got rich on the backs of the community, where we had no fate in the sun… Do it, too, if you can…”
But now elections are approaching in the “land of the bright orange and mafia political families” (Greece) and all the crooks have started the fight to grab the spoon… The spoon that will help them join the other scumbags in emptying the state treasury. So the “shepherd from Lemnos” (Diamataris) looks in the mirror and says to himself:
“I’m a fine kid at seventy-something… In fact, ever since I stopped dyeing my hair grey-red, my old white mane gives me an extra tone of dignity and seriousness – an area where I’ve always been lacking. What am I missing? I own some thirty houses in America, Crete, Lemnos… In Athens, my house is on the same street as the presidential palace. Establishment through and through, that is! Why should I not be entitled to return “with glory and honor” to the highest offices of the state of Greece?”
And continuing narcissistically in front of the mirror, he says: “Are the others who stole so much and then some from the state coffers better than me, as they still have honors and positions? Just because I told a tiny little lie I have to suffer until I die? Greece is full of fake doctorates – they buy them at the bazaar by the kilo… Did my little problem with the MBA from Columbia bother them?”…
Undaunted, he continues: “What did you say? That I didn’t just lie about my MBA from Columbia but also about my BA from Queens College? You said that 45 years ago, I went and enrolled at Columbia, lying to them that I had graduated with a BA from Queens College, when I hadn’t my basic degree? These are just minute details… Many will see them and few will understand… Most people will see my degree next to our Prime Minister, Kyriakos, and believe everything is fine…”
Please don’t go back to look for the truth that some bad tongues insisted on bringing out (as here in this link to some stubborn guy from Piraeus with roots from the bad side of Crete, from these savages in Sfakia )… Will they believe him? Will they search to find out what I went and talked with the expatriate president of Colombia, Maglaras, and how I arranged my little matter in no time at all? I’m an eagle… Why do we have all these degrees in addition to 45 years of experience in the field if I couldn’t arrange such a simple matter?
I first went to Queen’s College, and with little leaps and bounds, I managed to get a degree in September 2020 (DIAMATARIS – EXHIBIT E). And then I sued Columbia – but we settled amicably out of court – and that’s how I got my MBA from Columbia in 2021… Get two of those degrees in one year if you can…
At this point, the idiots from the community started cursing him, and thus the slug Diamataris was again forced to leave. But don’t worry, in a few months, he will be with us again… Because he has “offered” so much to Hellenism… He deserves a group jeering in a more formal place – at the 5th Avenue parade, let’s say… At the same place where he once had ordered Petros Galatulas to present him as a Grand Marshal…

Η φωτογραφία με τους δύο μου θυμίζει τον
Μπόμπο και τον Τοτό , όταν ο Μπόμπος καμαρωτός καμαρωτός μοστράρισε το απολυτήριο του Δημοτικού και ο Τοτός μόλις
τον είδε έσκασε στα γέλια, γιατί γελάς ρε του
λέγει ο Μπόμπος , καλά δεν ξέρεις γράμματα;
αυτό το απολυτήριο ανήκει σε άλλον Μπόμπο
αν πρόσεχες θα έβλεπες ότι το όνομα του Πατέρα
είναι διαφορετικό.
Η φωτογραφία είναι απεριόριστης ντροπής όχι
τόσο για τον μαθητή αλλά για την ανευθυνότητα
του Πρωθυπουργού που δέχθηκε να κατεβεί
σε αυτό το επίπεδο.
Mr. Stelios Tatsis,
why can’t you write in English please??
Nick please understand that Stelios, in his 80s now, cannot change the fact that he feels very comfortable in expressing himself in Greek. As a native Greek speaker, I can tell you that sometimes it is beyond comfort: the Greek language is much more “Expressive” than any other language: it has more words/concepts/meanings than other languages. It is the mother of all western languages…
But sometimes, when I have the time, I translate some of Stelios writings…
Endoxy Nick, I get it.
& a happy thanksgiving yall !
The article says:
“Last year, for example, he met Andriotis as if nothing was wrong, both of them as vampires, as we wrote then… As if both of them had not destroyed Omogenia for over 40 years… They sat and talked like two good old friends – and pretended that the community outside was just smearing them… “We got rich on the backs of the community, where we had no fate in the sun… Do it, too, if you can…”
Diamataris had ALL issues of ΕΘΝΙΚΟΣ ΚΗΡΥΞ
since 2015 digitized with a grant by The Niarchos Foundation ,so anybody interested in the history of the Greek Americans to review it easily.
Andriotis donated 1 million$ to St Demetrios school in Astoria and 2 mill$ to Nisyros to renovate and operate the famous Spa with volcanic water the island has.
The above actions benefit the Greek communities and should be commented!
Andriotis exploited the Saint Demetrios parish for over 45 years. How many millions did he make over those years from the parish? How many millions the parish lost from his exploitative actions? Just from one case – the sale of the Wantagh building – the parish likely lost half a million at least. The building was donated valued $700.000 and was sold at the same price years later at a very hot real estate market after having spent hundreds of thousands for renovations… his mafia-like gang around ALMA realty and Valiotis still exploits the parish today. Why do you support someone who stole money from all of you for so long? What are you gaining? Or are you just stupid?
Ad hominem- personal attacks prove lack of evidence !
INGRATITUDE is poison in society and personal relationships and we should avoid it ,if we want our Greek Community to survive ,thrive and prosper.
Nick, you said you were employed by Diamataris for 7 years in his newspaper.
Valiotis Company painted and renovated the Greek General Consulate in NY for FREE a few years ago and should be commended for that!
Leonidas, you have homework for the long weekend ahead. Go back to Helleniscope and search (you can easily use our search function – it’s very functional) all the names we refer to. You will find all the evidence you need – provided your eyes are open.
Our community was destroyed by predators like Diamataris, Karloutsos, Andriotis, Galatoulas and others. The best way forward is to make them negative examples of what our leaders should never be.
Many people were employed by the National Herald – including Diamataris himself. He was hired before he bought the paper as “an advertising/sales assistant”. He was so incompetent that they wanted to fire him, as Peter Makrias, the then-editor, told me before he died…
Diamataris and the National Herald owe me – as the main editorial writer for seven years, many times more than I owe them – AND THEY KNOW IT. Remember that during these times (1991-1997), the main editorial was published in eight columns across the FRONTPAGE ABOVE THE NAME OF THE PAPER. Yes, it was published above the name “ΕΘΝΙΚΟΣ ΚΗΡΥΞ”!!! GO BACK TO THE ARCHIVES AND OPEN YOUR EYES TO VERIFY THIS. This is how important it was. These were the times that we were fighting for the Name of Masedonia. The then Archbishop Iakovos was reading whole paragraphs from my editorial in one of the demonstrations we had outside the United Nations!!
You can call them and ask them if this is the truth or not… And then come back here and publicly apologize for your IGNORANCE.
Correction: ΕΘΝΙΚΟΣ ΚΗΡΥΞ issues since 1915 were digitized.
At the end… should be commended- praised.
If anyone asks me who is mostly to blame for the sad state of affairs of our Church and community, without any hesitation I will respond that this person is not Karloutsos, not Andriotis, not Galaltoulas but Diamataris. Why? Because he never fulfilled even at 10% the role of the press as the “4th Pillar” in our democracy. Instead he used TNH to enrich himself by offering “protection to those who exploited our communities for profit and other reasos.
Is a sad sad story. Thank you for revealing truth again and again. Each day, I learn more…
Were you the one who printed confessions a day after they took place at the archdiocese? No wonder Chancellor Stavropoulos called the paper Korax, Korakas, and Kourada. So much for your paranoid delusions of grandeur for your supposed journalistic accomplishments, while Diamataris has a nice mansion on Pheasant Lane in Glenn Cove, you did so well, you still live in your mom’s fourth floor attic! Now, in some ways I agree with you, that the gyro mafia cares not about Orthodoxy, Greece or Greeks, just about selling gyro. They exploit the ghetto by keeping it enslaved to the gyro mafia which, instead of going out to take advantage of the wonders of America, think the only way they can prosper is by taking advantage of poorer Greeks, and keeping them hostage in the ghetto so they can’t go out and find better. But Diamataris is a nice guy, a holy fool. And Valiotis is just temperamental, unable to pay attention to detail, and driven by his own egotistical perception of his self, yet he still does some good things. If he was more patient, he would do several orders better things. But the Greek version of Al Sharpton, our own “Reverend Al” is the whore, obsessed that only he knows what is best and that his mission in life is to defend the patriarchate, good or bad. Back to the confessions, the archdiocese is ridden with wastrels who do not serve the archdiocese but immediately call the gyro mafia and report whatever happens at the archdiocese. Chancellor Stavropoulos never spoke freely inside the building, knowing full well anything he said would end up in the ears of the gyro mafia.
Dear Leo
You write”Valiotis is just temperamental, unable to pay attention to detail, and driven by his own egotistical perception of his self, yet he still does some good things. If he was more patient, he would do several orders better things”
Mr Valiotis is a diplomate in Theology from Greece.He now is a brilliant extremely successful businessman in real estate and banking.He never stops supporting the Greek Community and recently donated 10 mill$ for the completion of a Nursing Home in Long Island for the Greek elderly.
He said many more Rich Greeks would have contributed to the Greek Community if there was good transparent governance of the donations and he is right!
If Valiotis believes in transparency in governance why doesn’t he apply it in Saint Demetrios of Astoria, where his employees at ALMA rule for over 40 years? What is the reason for Fotis Papamichael, an ALMA associate, to be part of the St. Demetrios parish council for 45 years straight? This is called a mafia-like organisation and has nothing to do with transparency…
