Macduff, the Muslim Brotherhood is not exactly controlled by the West, but by their overlords, whose objective is not a strong West for the West&#039;s sake, but for global control. In other words, the West is a means to an end. We are tools in the hands of globalists.

So when I say ‘controlled’ it does not mean there will be peace between a Muslim-Brotherhood-controlled Arab world and the West.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Very interesting! Thanks!

Can you get the info about &quot;the number of visas issued to Libyan nationals or the identity of high-profile members of the Gaddafi regime who are currently in Malta&quot; from Gordon Pisani again since he seems to be much more of a help?]]></description>

I&#039;m sorry but I have to side ever so slightly with kev on this one. In Egypt nothing much changed. I bet the US is going for a forced truce that will keep the old power structures in place.

The more time passes the more cynical I&#039;m getting. I hope I&#039;m wrong though.]]></description>

I understand you perfectly. I come from the Catholic-Italian mindset you mention. The benevolent pater familias is cultural baggage I struggle to break away from all the time. I assume, and hope, kids today have a better chance of growing up with a more independent mindset.

Icelanders just realised that they shouldn&#039;t have trusted their government a long while back. We&#039;re better off learning that lesson before parliament flays our skin for the benefit of the few.]]></description>

&quot;The overlords of the West will even backstab their ‘friends’, the despotic House of Saud and their oil-rich cronies.&quot;

Spineless politicians backstabbing each other, what is world coming to?   You think King Abdallah doesn&#039;t do the same by using petrofunds to fund every rabid Wahhabi loon out there?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[If you really want to know which high profile Libyan &#039;characters&#039; are in Malta right now, you don&#039;t need to go to the government to get an answer.

I personally saw one of Gaddafi&#039;s cousins a week before it all happened. Since then further cousins have arrived and also family members of some of the people closest to him.

Watch this space and Mr. Anonymous will provide you with names. As I said, no need for bureaucrats.]]></description>
