Xenophon Zolotas' speeches wich mainly contain hellenic words 1957 Annual Meeting, Boards of Governors, Washington D.C. September 26, 1957
Kyrie,
I eulogize the archoms of the Panethnic Numismatic Thesaurous and the Ecumenical Trapeza for the orthodoxy of their axioms methods and policies, although there is an episode of cacophony of the Trapeza with Hellas.With enthusiasm we dialogue and synagonize at the synods of our didymous Organizations in which polymorphous economic ideas and dogmas are analyzed and synthesized.Our critical problems such as the nomismatic plethora generate some agony and melancholy. This phenomenon is characteristic of our epoch. But, to my thesis we have the dynamism to program therapeutic practices as a prophylaxis from chaos and catastrophe.In parallel a panethnic unhypocritical economic synergy and harmonization in a democratic climate is basic. I apologize for my eccentric monologue. I emphasize my eucharistiria to you Kyrie, to the eugenic and generous American Ethnos and to the organizations and protagonists of the Amphictyony and the gastronomic symposia.
1959 Annual Meeting, Boards of Governors, Washington D.C. October 2, 1959
Kyrie,
It is Zeus’ anathema on our epoch for the dynamism of our economies and the heresey of our economic methods and policies that we should agonize between the Scylla of numismatic plethora and the Charybdis of economic anemia. It is not my idiosyncrasy to the ironic or sarcastic but my diagnosis would be that politicians are rather cryptoplethorists. Althought they emphatically stigmatize numismatic plethora, they energize it through their tactics and practices. Our policies shoyld be based more on economic and less political criteria.Our gnomon has to be a metron between economic, strategic and philanthropic scopes. Political magic has always been antieconomic. In an epoch chararacterized by monopolies, oligopolies, monopolies, oligopolies, monopsonies, monopolistic antagonism and polymorfous inelasticities, our policies have to be more orthological. But this shoyld not be metamorphosed into plethorophobia which is endemic among academic economists.Numismastic symmetry should not hyper-antagonize economic acme. A greater harmonization between the practices of the economic and numismatic archoms is basic. Parallel to this, we have to syncronize and harmonize more and more our economic and numismatic policies panethnically. These scopes are more practicable now, when the prognostics of the political and economic and numismatic policies panethnically. The history of our didimous organizations in this sphere has been didactic and their gnostic practices will always be a tonic to the polyonymous and idiomorphous ethnical economies. The genesis of the organization will dynamize these policies. Therfore, I sympathize althoyght not without criticism on one or two themes, with the apostles and the ierarchy of our organizations in their zeal to program orthodox economic and numismatic policies.
LE DEDALE SYNCHRONE DU COSMOS POLITIQUE
Kyrie, Sans apostropher ma rhetorique dans l’ emphase et la plethore, j’ analyserai elliptiquement, sans nul gallicisme, le dedale synchrone du cosmos politique caracterise par des syndromes de crise paralysant l’ organisation systematique de notre economie. Nous sommes periodiquement sceptiques et neurastheniques devant ces paroxysmes periphrasiques, cette boulimie des demagogues, ces hyperboles, ces paradoxes hypocrites et cyniques qui symbolisent une democratie anachronique et chaotique. Les phenomenes fantastiques qu’on nous prophetise pour l’ epoque astronomique detroneront les programmes rachitiques, hybrides et sporadiques de notre cycle atomique. Seule une panacee authentique et draconienne metamorphosera cette agonie prodrome de l’ apocalypse et une genese homologue du Phenix. Les economistes technocrates seront les strateges d’ un theatre polemique et dynamique et non les proselytes du marasme. Autochtones helleniques, dans une apologie cathartique, psalmodions les theoremes de la democratie thesaurisante et heroique, soyons allergiques aux parasites allogenes dont les sophismes trop hyalins n’ ont qu’une pseudodialectique. En epilogue a ces agapes, mon amphore a l’ apogee, je prophetise toute euphorie et apotheose a Monsieur Giscard d’ Estaing, prototype enthousiasmant de la neo-orthodoxie economique et symbole de la palingenesie de son ethnie gallique.
