I had planned to benefit from a very early night as important responsibilities made me have to drive into town today, preventing me from needed recuperation.
Physically exhausted, nobody can reply for me, nor can they see my lawyer, or take my pets for their rabies/passport injections, etc. etc. tomorrow, either.
However, commitments apart, I will reply calmly, balanced, and in a heart-centred way.
I cannot thank you for your post, as the strong and directed energies, that came across, were emotionally angry, even vitriolized.
Was this your intention?
Holding the position of Administrator that saddens me, and I find it quite concerning.
The historical circumstances surrounding my move to Cyprus have been documented in detail earlier in my thread.
My political knowledge at the time was limited to voting or not, or how will the next budget affect me, this time!
When dad and I visited Cyprus in 2002 nobody could cross borders from either side. They were permanently closed. There were 2 sides to the island. Dad and I could not go North. Nor did we hear politics from the locals as we stayed together as a group only. Same for mum and I when we flew to the North. No politics proffered or discussed.
On loving the island and the friendliness of the locals, our sole concern was getting my son and I out of London asap!
Buying land for the project was secondary, but could also provide chaperoned work for my son. Neither of us could find work as this juncture. My sole priority was my son’s condition and mental health, and the medications given were making him worse.
Sadly, we lost him before we could escape together, and to whatever help I could have got for him here.
Meanwhile the lawyer had proceeded with everything we had instructed him to.
However, it was only later, once I started to research online, that I became aware of hatred towards the Turkish Cypriots from many of the Greek Cypriots. (Not all, by a long shot).
I immediately sent a fax to my lawyer asking for his explanation of the political situation.
I am more than happy to post the original copy of my fax and his reply to this thread. (it is dated).
He also pointed out that there are court cases seeking compensation on both sides. As both lost their lands/homes.
At that date/time (2004), he pointed out that compensation may/could become payable at a later date on Esdeger Title Deeds (ie non Turkish ones).
Forewarned, we were happy to pay any future compensation. We then decided that mum buy extra land that would be ‘inflation proof’ to whatever the valuations would be for the compensation. As well as help fund toward the project.
I don’t know any other house owners on the planet who have a ‘compensation plan’ in situ for those the land may ‘rightfully’ belong to?
Something that always concerned me though is:
How do Canadians, Americans, Australians, New Zealanders, and South Americans etc feel about occupying and settling in the lands of the indigenous peoples? And the atrocities committed to them, to appropriate their countries?
How do they sleep at night?
What compensations were they given?
This is a absolutely identical scenario. Conveniently brushed under the carpet for some.
But researching Paraquay, my heart is with those indigenous natives of Paraguay – the 4% in poverty and those homeless, blind etc due to greedy mega ranchers, also illegally using fumigation aircraft and tons of Glyphosate and GMO crops. Killing their organic crops and their livelihoods.
If I can help even one, I will.
Indigenous peoples
There is no generally accepted definition of Indigenous peoples, although in the 21st century the focus has been on self-identification, cultural difference from other groups in a state, a special relationship with their traditional territory, and an experience of subjugation and discrimination under a dominant cultural model.

So what is everybody else’s true living situation?
What are their morals about it?
Something else that occurs to me is
why so many of the UK forces veterans and retirees chose North Cyprus as their home. Especially as they had all had active service during the Cypriot conflicts. I have a friend here (who I must now ask this to), who was a Colonel – Senior Intelligence Officer for the area, throughout the times. And I am sure is still active in an intelligence capacity.
He has ‘inside’ knowledge, other’s don’t. Witnessed first hand.
Yet, he has chosen to live here, long before I did.
Also very active British Legion here too, including many, many names connected with the Forces, listed i the Remembrance Cemetery here. Why would they not just be in the South?
I am sad about what happened on either ‘side’. As ultimately, they were both duped/used, one way or another. Not excluding external USA politicians and an ‘agenda’.
My ‘family’ have a good grasp on all the events in my life, especially here. Plus awareness of much of what I study, my son studying with me some of the time. Plus saying they sit with me watching the Spiritist mediumship studies and practice.
I relate this because prior to replying to Chu regarding my ‘environment’ question. I did not wish to leave one conscious stone unturned/unexamined.
...........
So, fully visceral of the last political attacks, (when in hindsight I had a combination of Covid Sars 2 Respiratory virus preventing me breathing and simultaneous Lyme flare up- due to the Covid).
I was genuinely and desperately asking for help/advice as my last port of help, because my body/mind had literally stopped being able to function properly! I did not have much ‘time’ left to act/do
‘Environment’ was mentioned. I was then bombarded with politics, make liposomal vitamin C. Everything became embroiled becoming just personal attacks. Then before I could get the instant advice I needed the thread was closed, at a crucial time.
All I can remember now is an ambulance speeding me to the (Covid) hospital 45 minutes away. And the siren noise.
A very scary experience, I will never forget.
...........
This may be a question for the C’s, however, due to the above episode I naturally wished to ask my ‘ family’ the burning question:
(Verbatim from my tape/transcripts)
Q: Am I incorrect regarding the true Turkish intervention of North Cyprus? And was the Forum correct? I believe that the Turkish had every right to do an intervention and not an invasion. What is the history here?
A: It is what you believe. Because you have been here before, you have got a good understanding of it all. That is what they are saying.
Q: But the Forum say that I am wrong.
A: Your family are saying you were right.
Is it just a coincidence, or why is it there is a repeated pattern, that I get attacked personally/politically both times I am seriously ill?
I am above feeling a victim, because I am purely doing what we have been advised to do, especially when a situation arises, – network!
Especially when the C’s have said ‘be kinder to each other’. And....
(L) Yeah. So, last question: if there's anything we should have asked that we need to ask, please give us the answer.
A: Love! You are doing well. Network!!! Goodbye.
