You don't have to worry we have a real democracy here unlike the Turkish military state/extremists which is true has killed many TC that tried to reveal the truth or expose the state.
In the ROC you can say anything you want without fear (besides as we said you can do it anonymously  ).
Any comments on the article? |
Are you sure about this?? kindly recall the run up to the referendum YES voters were afraid to voice their opinions for fear of reprecussions,bomb explosions, smashed cars, verbal abuse, television censorship to confirm all this your opposition leader sent a letter of complaint about the undemocratic situation in the south, to the EU he was latter was forced by mounting pressure to retract his letter for fear of his life. the UN also included a message that Democracy in the south leaves a lot to be desired. Nothing has changed in the south the mentality and course antics which contributed to 1974 are still evident and will increase over time again confirming why we are unable to function as one and that the best solution is recongnized partition. |

Well no, not having evidence proves nothing full stop.
I find it quite interesting that one could justify the mass murder of 1.5 Million people. Quite sick if you ask me. |

Let’s clear a few things up concerning American politicians, campaign contributions and Dennis Haster.
The $50,000 is money that was given to Dennis Haster’s, but was sent to his political campaign, not his personal bank account. Of course, there are ways to manipulate campaign money, but it cannot be used for his personal gain. All politicians by law have to keep third party, stringent public accountants on their staffs in an effort to manage the money. He cannot just go withdraw the money, as he wants out of the bank and buy a car with it. I sure he can throw a few, “Campaign dinners” at his house or on the beach, but it would be tough to hide $50,000.
A few years ago, the Clinton’s would rent a ballroom, and charge $1,000 dollars a plate for their fundraisers. It could be seen as a bribe, (buy a plate-meet the Clintons) but the money just went from the dinner guest to the Democratic Party campaign accounts.
Trust me, if the Democratic party (Haster’s opposition party) believed that he personally accepted $50,000 he would be out of a job immediately. They would remove him as Speaker of the House.
Reagan almost got in trouble with this. Clinton’s VP almost got in trouble with this.
Any US Citizen can only legally provide up to about $3,000 dollars as an individual to another individual running for a public office. But as a member of a political party (which any one could be), one can donate as much as they want and can donate for a campaign in 3 to 6 years in the future. The 50K most likely would have been for his campaign fund.
Now for the conspirators and the haters, lets just say Dennis Haster was an Ultra-Pro, Turkish sympathizer. A real-anti-Greek, anti-Cypriot idiot….. it really would not matter.
He is one man, a congressman, not a senator. He has one vote out of 366. He is not very relevant. |
