    That’s weird – the Google advert I see under this video :

    ‘Single Ukranian Lady looking for dating with foreign men’

    Is that how he got his Ukrainian nurses?

    Anyone watched Gino Cauchi being given plenty of air time on Musumeci’s TALK show tonight?

    He was most definitely NOT wearing the black lacquered front hairpiece this time.

      What is it with insecure men after power and their ruddy hair loss problems? Yes, I noticed Robert Musumeci’s hair piece the other day on television. I wonder if this is the sort of conversation he has with Jeffrey, who used to dye his until not so long ago and could be seen at the hairdresser with his head wrapped in foil.

    It always unnerves me when powerful people use idealism and utopian dreams to further their cause.

    He had a humble home and a Peugeot back in 1976! Has anyone ever carried out an in-depth study on the effects of ‘power and money’ on the mind? This man is unrecognisable.

    Actually, I take back my previous comment. The traits are there, he was just trying hard to deceive everyone back then.

    I love the ending though – he laughed it off.

      @David

      Looks like Elizabeth was right in not abdicating! It also reminds me of Baroness Thatcher’s famous…’I didn’t hug him, I bombed him’.

      What a wimp and what a stateswoman.

    It may be pertinent for one to perceive his demise taking into consideration his various shady, secretive and lucrative dealings with ‘respectable’ Western administrations. The dead don’t talk and there may be many elements who are happy to keep it that way.

    Why are we so inward-looking and afraid of change? Instead of considering Islamic banking in Libya as an opportunity, it has already been labelled as a threat.

    In fact, besides operational and other reasons, part of Arriva’s teething troubles are due to our reluctance to accept change.

      ‘Instead of considering Islamic banking in Libya as an opportunity, it has already been labelled as a threat’.

      The reason being that western economics is debt based and the only way to keep people subjugated is through intrinsically worthless paper money (debt currency) and bond issues (more debt).

      Why do you think we left the gold standard 40 years ago?

      Fiat currencies have a life span of about 40 years (please don’t tell me the Dollar has been around longer, since Nixon closed the gold window, 40 years ago, the Dollar in essence, changed) and what we are witnessing today is the death throes of that system.

      World GDP= approx 60 trillion
      World debt and derivative value= 600 trillion

      Inflation at %5 per annum above interest rates would devalue a currency by %50 over 15 years. By inflation I mean an increase in money supply (which results in an increase in prices…price inflation). This works wonders for reducing debt, but not for savers.

      Now think about EFSF, IMF funding/bailout money coming to a market near you at present time. Trillions on both sides of the Atlantic. Don’t expect our finance ministers to let you in on this scam.

      Why do you think gold has increased fivefold in 10 years and even you must have realised the number of people willing to offer cash for gold over here.

      So, red pill or blue pill?

    A good start about banking arrangements for the Gaddafi family would be Joseph Sammut, PL/MLP candidate and MLP National Treasurer (according to his web site).

    One wonders what will happen to Gaddafi’s money held by the accountant Joe Sammut. If nobody is left to claim the booty, will Sammut donate it to the Libyan people?
