Why? Because I’m a human rights activist and I get in the way of U.S. foreign policy. Your tax dollars well spent. And you thought that USAID’s purpose was foreign aid and humanitarian assistance. Then again, Americans are used to pumping money into the U.S. foreign interventionist and war machine and not minding that they suffer—and cause tremendous suffering—for it.

Ten years ago, the Macedonian Association Ilinden - Tirana was admitted into the Federal Union of European Nationalities (FUEN), which is the largest minority organization in Europe. The Macedonian Association Ilinden - Tirana was the first minority organization from the Republic of Albania to become a full member of the FUEN.  

Macedonians in Pirin Macedonia gathered on April 27, 2025 in Melnik and Rozhen for their annual commemoration in honour of Macedonian leader Jane Sandanski – murdered 110 years ago by an order of the Bulgarian government – despite an intimidation and provocation campaign by Bulgarian media and authorities. They used threats that last year’s fierce crackdown on Macedonians would be repeated, which included attacks on freedom of expression, mass harassment by police and Bulgarian ultranationalists, surveillance and breaches of privacy, police checkpoints lining all routes leading to the commemoration amid further harassment, and threats of violence.

I am a human rights activist and advocate for my country— Macedonia — and for its language and its culture. To the American taxpayer, you have probably never heard of me. You might not know much about Macedonia or even be able to find it on a map. But here's one thing you have a right to know: Millions of your taxpayer dollars were spent to foment a political crisis in my country, to overthrow its government, and even to defame me personally.

Posters demanding the end of the forced name change into "North Macedonia" and the return of Macedonia's real name have spread throughout Macedonia. Photos below and on our social media pages and website. The English translation of the message is: An illegal law is not law. No more excuses. Our Name Is MACEDONIA. The "Prespa Agreement" can easily be terminated.

Macedonian Human Rights Movement International (MHRMI) is funding the legal defence for MAEI in this crucial case affecting the survival of the Macedonian minority in Albania and will also fund MAEI’s countersuit and lawsuits against those who attack the Macedonian minority.

This is what I’m thinking: Was Canada ever an independent country? All American politicians treat Canada like a dependent (and Canadian politicians allow it), but Trump is the first one to say it so bluntly — so don’t shoot the messenger (literally). The easy solution — especially when it comes to foreign policy — is, ready for it? Stop allowing it.

Since most people in Western society are only able to see and think what they are told to see and think, here are my brief reactions to the above: Absolutely, Wanda Sykes never should have raised war criminal Kamala Harris’ campaign and how she’ll “do everything in her power to get her elected”. I don’t want Palestinian babies to be slaughtered, which, according to Reaction #2ers, makes someone a “Hamas supporter”. So, as they admit, this makes them advocates for baby killing. In case you don’t believe me, look at their public reactions to babies getting slaughtered.

Bill Nicholov, President of Macedonian Human Rights Movement International (MHRMI) and Vasil Sterjovski, Macedonian human rights activist from Albania, the first Macedonian elected to parliament in that country, and President of the Macedonian Alliance for European Integration (MAEI), continued their meetings with Canadian government and foreign affairs officials. They met with Dr. Hedy Fry, Canada’s Head of Delegation to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe’s Parliamentary Assembly (OSCE PA) and Special Representative to the OSCE PA for Gender Issues, and Canada’s longest serving female Member of Parliament and MP of Canada’s current government.
