RE: English
hi rowan,
as most of us are native germans, it would be a great deal if you could help us with the translations.
malone will contact you as soon as he comes back online.

I could help too, just send my nation a message. I've taken 4 1/2 years of German, I have the speaking abilities of a 4-5 year old in the language. Not great, but I can get by and help with translations.

RE: English
Same with me if you need some help!
I can't translate from German but I'd be happy to correct some already-existing English.

The above fixes a couple of punctuation issues. One of the sentences is germanic in feeling -- a passive verb is used late in the sentence. More idiomatic english is used in a couple of other places...

RE: English
"""
Strictly observe persons, who attract attention because of critizing the system
"""
I would use a trailing period on all these sentences. Here, the comma shouldn't be used; we spell it criticizing (I think); and we would use a different preposition:
"Strictly observer persons who attract attention by criticizing the system."
'government' might be better than 'system'.
"""
Stash away suspicious persons
Dispose of agitators and conspirative persons
"""
"conspirative" isn't really a word. It's kind of Lewis Caroll and Jabberwocky though... it's clear what you mean, and it's better than the alternatives, but it isn't english. How about 'Dispose of agitators and conspirators.'?
"""
Tangle rival candidate up in a drug scandal
Let the most promising rival candidate arrest because of pretended cocaine usage
"""
How about "Have the most promising rival candidate be arrested on trumped up cocaine usage charges." Except that in the U.S. the charges don't have to be trumped up. 
"""
Manipulate elections
Bribe canvassers and try to swing the decision
"""
I'm not sure that 'canvassers' is American English. Also the words 'deselect' and 'deselection' probably aren't the best words. "unelect"? "oust"?
"""
Debar eligible voters from the election
Prevent eligible voters who sympathise with the opposition from voting
"
'Debar' probably isn't a word. 'Bar' would suffice. "sympathise" is probably British spelling. Americans would use "sympathize". (British spelling is fine and nicely international, but I think a piece of text somewhere claimed american english...)
