Brief note: further research about the context as well as thorough graphical and sound analysis of the YouTube video should be made, in order to extrapolate:

-The capacity and circumstances which brought Phillip T. Reeker, former US Ambassador to FYROM and current Deputy Assistant Secretary in US Department of State, among the Pseudomacedonian cheering fans.

-Meaning of his statement in the context of all-data analysis

-Exploration of background of his engagement on the FYROM-Greece Issue as US Ambassador in Skopje and as a current High-Ranking Official of US DOS

-Symbols (Sun of Vergina is visible) and chanting used by the Pseudomacedonian fan groups, which included, in this video, the song "Go boy on balcony...". Banner with "[Un]ited Falanga (United Phalanx) is also visible early in the reporting. Although the statement of the proclamation that "our shall be the plain of Thessaloniki" is NOT present on the video, this fan song has one fixed lyrics variant and the melody on the video is the same.

The event is Handball Championship in Serbia, the concrete place of Reeker's participation is city of Niš, Serbia, during match between FYROM and Czech Republic, 19-January-2012.

It is an IMPERATIVE that, based on what you see on this video, biography and the nature of present job of Reeker, as well as his engagement as US Ambassador to FYROM until few months ago, that [EMPHASIZE] Greeks in USA compile a recipient-geared (US Government, Federal and State agencies, Greek NGO and media in USA, Greek website projects with large section of Greeks of North America as readers) and pass this As Soon As Possible on as-much-as-possible greater amount of [B]CC: recipients. Strike The Iron While Its Still Hot. Its, as I'm posting this 14.10 Eastern, 13.10 Central, 11.10 Pacific time in USA.

Furthermore, spread the news on all major recipients worldwide: Greek politicians (MFA, MP's), Party Chairmen, MEP's, Macedonian organization in Greece, and most importantly TV and printed media. Although its late evening in Greece, by tomorrow at least printed media may be interested in such involvement of a top echelon officer of Department of State mingled in what, from his own experience as diplomat involved in the issue who lived in FYROM, was full aresnal of Pseudomacedonian fascist symbols, slogans, usurped Sun of Vergina. Reeker is a good speaker of Pseudomacedonian, so he must have heard at least once "Go boy on the balcony..." song. And yet, he puts a "feel good" expose on virtues of sport and sympathies for "Macedonia", dressed in FYROM official athletic T-shirt no less, during an official stay in Serbia.

If anybody needs a mailing list, I'll be happy to provide ones from my extensive collection. Note, however, that recipients may be skeptical about email from a guy in FYROM, regardless of the fact that the video is sufficient in itself for a journalist or political analyst to extrapolate a contextualized story (certainly a critical one regarding Reeker's escapade). Again, email while the Iron is Hot. In only 48 hours this will be not accepted as a news, nor published online or in print if relevant editors and decision makers are not acquainted ASAP.

It says the video is private.

He did say "No name solution no NATO entry":

See the following:

Unfortunately the following information isn't being kept up to date (although he is an ambassador not a firm):

Don't be surprised if Reeker ends up working for a firm like Orion Strategies when out of office. Then the real cheering will begin.

Other countries that have used Orion Strategies services in the past include Georgia (got their ass owned by Russia) and Taiwan.

It is disappointing to see that Philip Reeker's support for FYROMian fascist fans was not mentioned by neither mainstream, nor fringe media. Is it some calculation that publishing the fact that within 24 hours Reeker chastised FYROMian leadership with a generic "no name solution, no Euro-Atlantic integration" statement and than cut loose by mingling among crowds whose Pseudomacedonian fascism was evident in imagery and slogans (which, again, Reeker knows as he knows Serbo-Bulgarian standard of FYROM, where he spend c. 3 years as US Ambassador)? Is this manipulation with Greek public opinion that is led to believe that Reeker, in capacity of senior-rank State Department officer, give a clear warning to Gruevski? This is true, but than it shows hypocrisy on Reeker's side, first since he is aware that he cannot be a completely 'private person', 'a guy from America' while on that administrative duty. He sure may cut loose, he sure may do that among people he befriended in FYROM, but he put a FYROM dress, saw the FYROMian fans gathering with their Sun of Vergina, heard them chanting what is (even if we agree that some verbal insults are permissible in sport cheering) text he could understand. I think he was not 'caught by surprise', I don't subscribe to 'dumb American' stereotype, he could simply not go and participate in a whirlpool of Pseudomacedonian flamboyant fascist procession.

All nationalist FYROM media, from MINA and that forum you keep having fights, to mainstream Pro-Government TV and Print media in FYROM (read: all) gave compliments to Reeker about his sport event excursion, as representing him being on "our side", "one of us", "our friend, our ally in the world of US diplomacy". Again: Reeker could had arranged TV meetings with Skopje's VIP and some Pro-Americans in "unbuttoned", in less formal and more casual setting, if this was some PR 'compensation'. But this is nothing short of US endorsement of Pseudomacedonian Fascist Sport Hooligans & Thugs.

They made that video private and they put the same video in another Youtube instance, probably noting the sudden upsurge of viewers from Greece and comments against Reeker. Now its fixed, the video is working. You may find it on YouTube by using keywords "Reeker Handball" "Rekeer Handball Serbia", "Reeker Macedonia Handball", "Reeker Handball 2012".

Images from the news report posted on YouTube about US High-Ranking Diplomatic Official Philip T. Reeker, ex US Ambassador for FYROM, Current Deputy Undersecretary in Department of State of USA, during which he can be seen as a part of the Pseudomacedonian fascism-galvanized, Sun of Vergina sporting, expansionist Anti-Greek battle cry chanting thugs, wearing the official dress of FYROM.

Handball Championship in Serbia, match of Czech Republic vs. FYROM, city of Niš, 19-I-2012.

FROM FYROMian (only) opposition newspaper, the "Fokus" daily: subtitle bellow the photo - „И Рикер запеа за Гоцева-та раса“ ("And Reeker also sung about the Goce's race"). No Comment. I don't like this dishonesty of some media, putting the news of his warning to Gruevski that in effect "the name should be solved prior to any possibility of obtaining a NATO membership", yet silence on the fact that he is several hours later in Championship in Serbia, embedded with "fans" who use Greek imagery, shout a song about conquest of Thessaloniki, although this is his professional specialty and as diplomat, he knew that, virtually throwing himself in their arms he took a side of extremist. He couldn't care less about that handball match and he could made apolitical salutation to what turned to be FYROMian victory on that day.

I send what I send. If further 48 hours pass, this cannot go into print and TV, though it may be of value to certain high exposure website. I think I gave you sufficient details about Philip T. Reeker, Video evidence about his involvement as well as about fascist scenery brought by heritage thieves, the stills from the video (if you plan to email media or NGO, use several links of the same video. It would seem that the producer become aware of its usage yesterday, so he cut the link of hitherto functional video). Explain to them, this data, data you obtain from other sources, everything checked and double-checked and inform those of high reputation who analyze and make news. 48 hours and counting......
