Labour's crack team of dunces does it again
Labour’s crack team of dunces (no combination is easier to manipulate than that of stupidity and amorality, as every despot with evil intent knows) who run tasteyourownmedicine.com are tying themselves up in knots because I have filed a request for police investigation and that request has been acted upon.
One of them, Christopher Agius (whose Facebook friends include Jose Herrera, Marlene Mizzi, Astrid Vella, Wenzu Mintoff and Robert Musumeci) thinks he is beyond the reach of the law because he ‘studies in London’ (viva l-Unjoni Ewropeja).
The others, Alex Saliba of Forum Zgaghzagh Laburisti and Pia Micallef of Maltastar, are busying covering their internet tracks, but they’re too stupid to understand that they’ve left snail trails everywhere.
But this is the best bit: they think that what they are doing – posting lies, rumours and innuendos ‘anonymously’ and without taking responsibility for their words and allegations – is the equivalent of what I’m doing here: writing facts about public figures under my own name and while taking full responsibility for it.
But there’s more.
Because they are rabid supporters of the Labour Party and so by definition unable to analyse information properly, they are unable to distinguish between slander and blackmail.
Lying maliciously about somebody is slander. That’s one sort of crime.
Using threats to stop somebody doing something you don’t want them to do is a far more serious crime. It is a crime even when the revelation of facts is used to threaten somebody, still more when the spreading of lies is used to threaten that person.
The crime is increased when threats are used against that person’s children as a way of exerting influence on the person when direct threats to the person herself, or himself, fail.
When that person is a journalist, and the threats are issued by people associated with a political party for political reasons, the crime takes on yet a different perspective.
The irony is that the amoral Labour dunces who are making these threats are defending themselves on ‘freedom of expression’ grounds.
That’s right: the freedom to lie about a journalist who criticises effectively the political party you support, slander her, and when that fails to shut her up, the freedom to begin targeting members of her family and threatening to spread lies about her children – whose names, incidentally, they don’t even know, with the result that they ended up targeting a distant cousin instead.
These are the people raised by the generation who voted Labour in 1981 and 1987, after years of violence, arson, thuggery and persecution used to silence critics of the Labour government.
The apple never falls far from the tree.
These nightmarishly stupid, amoral people are so brainwashed by their own propaganda – that’s what happens to you when you’re raised in a Labour household by men and women who voted for Mintoff and KMB and lack the IQ to work things out for yourself – that their current big subject of discussion is whether the photograph used by Maltarightnow.com to accompany its news report is the result of ‘hours of Photoshop’.
It isn’t, you collection of sub-literate dunces.
It’s the photograph that accompanied my newspaper column, but you wouldn’t know that because you don’t read. If the Labour network told you I’m ugly and look like a trans-sexual and repeatedly uses photographs taken at awkward moments to prove its point, then it must be true, even if you’ve never seen me in real life, and even if you look like the hideous and ill-formed results of too much inbreeding in some remote village yourselves.

Il-Pulizija qed tinvestiga uffiċjal mill-Forum Żgħażagħ Laburisti u impjegata tas-sit elettroniku tal-Partit Laburista Maltastar dwar theddid lill-opinjonista Daphne Caruana Galizia. Dan it-theddid qed isir permezz ta’ sit elettroniku li nħoloq biex jattakka lil Daphne Caruana Galizia.
It-theddid hu li, jekk Daphne Caruana Galizia tibqa’ tikteb, min imexxi s-sit kontrieha se jippubblika allegazzjonijiet li qed jgħid li jikxfu u jħammġu lil xi ħadd jiġi minn Daphne Caruana Galizia. Iżda issa qed jirriżulta li min qed jagħmel dawn l-allegazzjonijiet jidher li qed iħallat tnejn min-nies differenti li, għalkemm għandhom l-istess kunjom, huma ‘l bogħod minn xulxin. Fil-blog tagħha, Daphne Caruana Galizia qed issostni li l-allegazzjonijiet mhux minnhom dwar membri tal-familja tagħha u t-theddid kontrieha mhux se jwaqqfuha milli tikteb u tikkummenta. Hi qed tgħid ukoll li għamlet rapport lill-Pulizija dwar dan it-theddid.
L-allegazzjonijiet dehru l-ewwel fil-gazzetta tal-Ħadd tal-Ġeneral Workers’ Union. Daphne Caruana Galizia qed tgħid li se tiftaħ ukoll kawża ta’ libell kontra t-Torċa u ċaħdet bil-qawwa dawn l-allegazzjonijiet li qed iħalltu tnejn min-nies differenti.

They’re defending someone who was CONVICTED of defiling a minor. Apparently it’s alright in their world for a 40-year old CONVICTED defiler to befriend minors on Facebook.
Note to all those nitwits – and especially to those parents on Facebook who ignore its risks – the minimum age limit for Facebook membership is THIRTEEN. That means minors are on Facebook and are at risk of being targetted by convicted and potential child molestors.
Befriending a minor is a paedophile’s first step. It’s called grooming. And it’s a whole lot easier to do using technology that’s alien to the minors’ parents.
Maybe Labour is planning to set up a Labour Section for Paedophiles and Defilers next, to be headed by Mark Vella Gera. The movement will get a tot (sorry for using that word) bigger and will stand a better chance in 2013.
I’m glad you’ve pointed that out. My elder daughter has told me that many of her peers are on Facebook. She knows of its existence through them, and yet, they are all only 9 years old.
I fail to understand the reasoning of many parents. They probably don’t realise the implications.
I think she is right.
” .. even if you look like the hideous and ill-formed results of too much inbreeding in some remote village yourselves.” … ouch
Hey Daphne.
I voted for the Labour Party in the past, and may do so again at the next election. But, “by definition” I AM able “to analyse information propertly”.
Jekk joghgbok tpoggix lil kulhadd f’baskett wiehed.
[Daphne – You obviously can’t analyse information properly, and nor can the leader you ‘may’ vote for in 2013. Campaigning to keep Malta out of the EU and voting for the same thing is the greatest proof of this.]
David, you missed the crucial ‘and lack the IQ to work things out for yourself’. The PL has very few intelligent supporters. How can anyone with intelligence support a party whose main pillars are hatred, violence, envy and greed?
If you’re really intelligent it’s only likely that you will vote for the PL for personal gain or out of some ill-conceived spite (u tkun qed taqta’ l-bajd biex tinki l-mara).
Believe me when I say I wish I could vote for a political party other than the PN, who did a hell of a lot of good between 1987 and 2003 but who have since run out of steam and become mediocre. But there simply isn’t a viable alternative, when you analyse the facts.
Hear, hear. Looks like my vote is on the way to be wasted, again, just to keep a party out of power. X’hela ta demokrazzijja jahsara.
I’m coming to the belated realisation that the Labour Party has long since been hijacked by the loonies. I gave the benefit of the doubt to Sant and liked his control on the party. I didn’t vote for him because of the EU and VAT issues. Not knowing Muscat, I had hopes that this time round things would change but alas, I’m not seeing any sign of this.
Unfortunately the people with brains left a long while ago. I’m sure many still love the party and what it should represent but don’t have the balls to force their way to the helm, start a new party or go with the Greens.
We need at least two functioning parties on these blessed islands.
I cannot but draw parallels to what’s happening to the Republican Party in the US, which was once glorious.
When party leadership tries to take advantage of members’ loyalty to run rough-shod over the interests of the many to satisfy the indulgences of the connected few, then those with brains leave, creating a vicious cycle that is difficult to break.
Tim, the idea that the government has “run out of steam and become mediocre” is a fallacy that has been propagated by certain media, a fact which isn’t helped by the government’s very poor PR, leading to many believing it and repeating it.
The government has been working towards realistic goals, most of which have either been reached or are within reach.
I was present for the prime minister’s meeting with Maltese scientists last Wednesday at the Malta Council of Science and Technology. I think he should make it a point to meet various groups like this and talk to them freely. His message is strong, positive and credible, and in this way he could reach the largest possible core audience. Maybe then we might stop hearing that the government has run out of steam.
David Gatt, you may think you know, but you don’t. And voting Labour proves this. No one with some basic form of human intelligence would have voted Labour in the past unless they were hopelessly stuck to family tradition or full of resentment or similar. The same applies today and will continue unless there are serious and deep-rooted changes in the party.
Tell me, David Gatt –
If you are able to analyse information, how do you vote for a party that declared it won the 2003 referendum and has yet to apologise for trying to keep us out of Europe, not to mention its very violent past?
Well, Marlene Mizzi did that, after voting ‘yes’ in the EU membership referendum.
And now she’s one of the party’s activists.
Kif jista’ jkun ma tixhidth lil Laburisti KOLLHA f’basket wiehed meta Daphne qeghdha tohrog dawn l-istejjer kollha u kieku xi hadd mill-gerarkija Laburista fetah halqu u ha passi biex ghalinqas, fejn jidhol il-partit jiccara l-affarjiet?
If these aptly called “team of dunces” who are the “result of too much inbreeding” cannot distinguish between journalism and blackmail, I suggest we may also call them a gang of morons who will most likely get what they deserve.
Kif jghid il-Malti,”Bzqat fl aria, u gie f’ wiccek”. Tajba din ja qabda pulcinelli. Nixtieq inkun naf kif hriegtu gradwati mill universita.
Li ghadni ma nistax nifhem hi kif Marlene Mizzi qeda tithallat ma dawn it-tip ta’ nies. Vera li kien hemm dik il-kwistjoni ta’ Sea Malta, fejn jien nahseb li kellha ftit ta’ ragun, imma biex tmur tissieheb ma’ erba pulcinelli ta’ dik il-kwalita….u ejja Marlene, kont inqiesek izjed intelligenti u rispettabli.
She feels superior to them when she is in their company. Such an ego boost.
Maybe it is now that we see the true Marlene.
@ Brian
Ghalxiex kellha ragun fuq il-kwestjoni ta` Sea Malta?
Apparently someone forgot the stinking Students’ Selection Board created by Labour to keep people out of university.
“Because they are rabid supporters of the Labour Party …”
Daphne, are they the supporters of the Labour Party, or is it the Party that harbours these freaks?
Tim Ripard, you wrote: “The PN did a hell of a lot of good between 1987 and 2003 but who have since run out of steam and become mediocre.”
According to you the PN has run out of steam since 2003, since Dr Gonzi has been prime minister. Are you also being influenced by Saviour Balzan’s Malta Today?
Dr Gonzi won the 2008 election against all odds, and the PN was on a real high, achieving yet another electoral victory. Admittedly the feelgood factor has worn off and pessimism is the rule of the day.
But here are some of the achievements of Dr Gonzi’s government:
1. getting the public deficit down to 2% (before it went up to 4% in the recession);
2. attracting foreign investment, notably Smart City, Lufthansa Technik, SR Techics (the two largest companies in their field);
3. the completion of Mater Dei Hospital, a project which had been going for 15 years;
4. commencement of works on a new oncology hospital;
5. privatisation of Grand Harbour operations, formerly a GWU monopoly, Cargo Handling Co Ltd, yacht marinas, Maltapost, Tug Malta and parts of EneMalta, and closure/privatisation of Malta Shipyards (the shipyards employed 8,000 people in 1987);
6. liberalisation of the transport sector, which will see a completely new set up by the end of the year;
7. rebuilding of roads as never undertaken before;
8. the Mgarr passenger terminal;
9. commencement of works on Valletta’s main gate/opera house site after 65 years of talk;
10. building of numerous new schools which are probably the envy of private schools, extension to the university with the new IT building; plans for a completely new campus for MCAST which will extend from the mosque all the way down to the Delicata winery in Marsa;
11. tender awarded for extension of Delimara power station so that the Marsa power station will shut within two years.
Hardly ‘run out of steam’. The problem is that since the elections the back-bencher twats have been getting a lot more media attention than achievements by the government. It is most unfortunate that even you seem to have been conditioned by this bad publicity.
David S, I very very rarely read Malta Today. Ghandek bicca ragun, but to answer your points one by one:
1. OK, maybe the deficit was/is looking relatively good but how is this achieved? High indirect taxation – cars are extremely expensive, for example. In terms of man-hours about triple the price elsewhere in the EU. I’d much rather see the civil service whittled down and whipped into efficiency – something that’ll do wonders for our budget deficit without hurting the common or garden taxpayer.
2. Lemme tell you something about LHT. Their apprentices earn about €200/month for three years. Here in Germany’s little brother (I live in Austria) an apprentice in a supermarket earns about €650 1st year, €950 2nd year and €1450 third year. A graduate management trainee with a(nother) supermarket chain earns €40,000 in his first year and €60,000 plus Audi after 3 years. So, yes, whilst I’m glad to see the investment, particularly because of the spin-off effects, it comes largely because Malta is a source of cheap labour. The Irish are complaining that the loss of SR Technics will take 800 jobs away but only 400 will come to Malta. Will the Maltese work twice as hard?
3. I’ve never been to Mater Dei and I don’t know the exact facts, but it cost a huge fortune, was over budget, late in completion, is not fully operational (operating theatres weren’t up to standard) and has less beds than St. Lukes, leading to patients in – albeit high quality and beautiful – corridors. NIftahru wkoll. But that’s not all – whilst these 15 years were passing by all the experts and consultants failed to work out that such a hospital would need x doctors and x nurses and as a result there are staffing problems, so we have an enormously expensive shiny new but smallish hospital delivered late and incomplete and without enough staff. Haqqu medalja.
4. When I see the termination of works on time, within budget and with adequate staff I’ll applaud.
5. Ghandek ragun.
6. Better very late than never, I suppose. Again, I’ll wait for the result before singing its praises.
7. I remember that about 300 metres of Rue d’Argens took about 3 months to be relaid and calculating that to relay all the roads in Malta at that rate would take some 1000 years to achieve. I’d written to the Times in that sense. Maybe the pace has pciked up now and we’ll have decent roads in a century? Only joking. If it’s true – I’ll check it out when I’m over there next week – hooray (at last)!
8. Again, hooray. However, in order to help cut the deficit the Cirkewwa terminal has however been delayed by several years, so we’re still only half-way there.
9. Yes. Again, hugely expensive. And again, let’s see if it comes in on time and within budget, as Dr Gonzi promised.
10. OK. Prosit. (Once more, I’ll wait for the result before going overboard.)
11. As the recent blackout showed, it’ll be touch and go if the extension comes on stream on time or not. That’s fire-fighting, not good government.
12. The rent law is a f**king joke. It’s like giving a cancer patient a Rennie.
13. Yes, a good thing.
What you fail to point out are:
a large and inefficient public sector with antiquated working practices
lateness in complying with EU requirements – e.g. waste management, we were dumping raw sewage into the sea beyond the deadline (and no thought given to reclamation of water) and the provision of renewable energy plans seem to be pretty far behind schedule to me.
a lack of a clear strategy on tourism and water supply
a failure to limit environmental degradation
a failure to devise a strategy to encourage the utilization of unused dwelling units
a failure to liberate Malta’s laws from religious hegemony and thus to ensure equality for all it’s citizens
a failure to implement just taxation and trim the black economy. It’s simply scandalous, for example that Gozitans, with 10% of the population only produce about 2% of VAT collected (and have a disproportionate number of slobs boarded out).
So, yes, I stand by my remark. This government is mediocre. Then again, almost all governments are, so it’s no big deal.
…a few more:
12. the new Rent Law, even though not perfect, gives some respite to landlords;
13. revision of pension age without industrial turmoil.
Have you forgotten the Euro?
I’m not quite sure what it is that I was being accused of, or why I was mentioned in their ridiculous ramblings anyway. Yes, I comment on articles that are connected to Gay rights, and I stand by what I say. If anyone would like to know my views then they can contact me.
What’s their point exactly? And do the followers even read what they write themselves? First they talk about me like I’m your son (going behind your back?) and then they talk about me like I’m your husband.
And they did all this thinking I wasn’t going to find out. Ha! I found out straight away: someone sent me an anonymous email telling me about it.
I’m not sure, but from what I understood this is what they have come up with.
Edward Caruana Galizia, Daphne’s husband/son (they still haven’t decided on which), is having homosexual relations behind her back, which we will expose should she not stop writing.
Did I get that right? Did I miss anything out? Allow me to clear things up and, in the process, put a damper on these idiots’ hopes.
To whom it may concern:-
I am not Daphne’s son, nor am I her husband. I am the son of her husband’s cousin. If you can follow that, you can now see how even if you did have dirt on me it really wouldn’t affect Daphne.
My sexuality is no secret. If it were, I wouldn’t go to Klozet every Saturday night, and say so on the internet.
So there you go. So much for your threat and leverage, whatever it was supposed to be. I have no secrets, so if you claim to have something on me it’s definitely a lie.
All you have to do now is join Labour’s LGBT group so that they won’t pick on you.
And make sure you appear in some photos with Magistrate Consuelo Scerri Herrera, Charlon Gouder, Robert Musumeci and one of them lot, and which you should then upload onto Facebook.
On a serious note, I admire the Vellas for their fighting spirit.
Le, dawk mhux hekk jahsbu! La kunjomu Caruana Galizia nattakawh ha nhamgu lill-Daphne. Xi hadd jiblahha zgur. Dawn in-nies jahsbu li kullhadd injorant bhalhom. U ghalekk dejjem jibqghu fejn huma.
Dan it-tifel x’ghandu x’jaqsam mal-istorja li Daphne bdiet mal-Magistrat Consuelo? Jien ma nistax nifhem ghalfejn qed jiddefendu lill-magistrat.
Dawn kieku kienu gurnalisti serji imisshom bdew jinvestigaw x’qalet Daphne dwar il-magistrat mela hargu qatta bla habel kontra Daphne u il-familja taghha. Ma’ tridx tkun xi bravu biex tinduna li ghandhom il-faham miblul!
Riya: “Jien ma nistax nifhem ghalfejn qed jiddefendu lill-magistrat”
Possibbli ma tafx?
