Are people smoking a lot of pot and dropping acid, or what?

Published: October 14, 2011 at 8:23am

The more time I spend on the internet, the more I’m inclined to hole myself up and bolt all the doors and windows, because it’s mad (literally) out there.

There’s a Facebook Group called NO FOR GONZI – translated word for word from Maltese – whose Fat Controllers spend their day posting psychedelic comments like those below on a wide assortment of Walls.

NO FOR GONZI has 3159 fans.

Its profile pic features, in a progressive and liberal manner, a Photoshop job of Eddie Fenech Adami dressed as a bishop. Because with Labour, you’re not allowed to be an atheist but being a Catholic is forbidden too.

They’re shocked to the core if you’re an atheist and they can’t stand it if you’re religious.

NO FOR GONZI
so in other words GonziPN keeps LOO Bondi a self confirmed atheist, wannabe rock star (antipatiku), in other words a clown and mostly a FAKE only because LOO cleanses Gonzi’s sins, gaffs and plays down his FIASCOS as they unravel on the people’s national media now raped and turned into NET TV channel 2 … is that right ???

NO FOR GONZI
For some time we have been ranting how LOO Bondi is GonziPN’s FULCRUM in the making of U N D E M O C R A T I C Malta …. under GonziPN’s thin lined …. D I C T A T O R S H I P …. please take time to read HOW these RULES are ABUSED … HOW we are democratically RAPED … MALTA, this is NO MATTER to be taken LIGHTLY … this is a MAJOR human right ABUSE…. DO NOT SUFFER IN SILENCE … check it out ….

And just look at this NUTTY stream of consciousness. They see in Joseph a man who is humble and fresh, and who has a fair understanding of what the EU is all about – unlike Gonzi. Well, as long as he’s “capable to take the bull by its horns” while Gonzi “creates fiascos as he plods with his incompetent team”, who are we to complain?

This sort of writing, a mix of the literate and subliterate, all wrapped up in absolute poverty of thought, is fascinating. It’s a whole new genre exposed by the internet, and I hope it’s being studied by those those people who examine language up at the university.

Perhaps I had better wall up the chimney, too.

NO FOR GONZI
Thanks for your valid excellent deduction. However from our NO FOR GONZI perspective, we come from PN Nazjonalista old family background but have lately come to the point where we see a great party LOSE THE PLOT all rou…nd with incompetent, arrogant ministers under an old fashioned non secular policy that also unfortunately have been proven at times to be corrupt. Joseph comes from NOWHERE but with an EU background, fresh and seems capable to take the bull by its horns. He has a fair understanding of what EU is really about. Unlike GonziPN making it up as he goes along .. creating fiascos as he plods with his incompetent team. Underneath all this pressure he raises his wages and his team’s and only god and him know the true state of our finances. We can go on all night about the energy bills, Malta transport , AirMalta fiascos, VAT corruption crisis, MEPA, BWSC commissions for loss of a better word .etc but need we go down that road as YES WE KNOW ABOUT ALL THIS. Please tell us what we don’t know !! What we don’t know is …will Joseph pull through and deliver ? Well we see this man that looks humble, fresh, sounds progressive, real and with credible body language talks positively about a strategy out of what we all (except for the die hard, blinkered PN loyalists) seem to agree is a fiasco of affairs. He gathers a new team consisting of young disillusioned PN and young fresh promising guys with the obvious old wise guys needed for consistency but it is obvious that within new labour the new fresh progressive idealogy under Joseph will take priority and rule. On the other hand GonziPN spin doctors and Gonzi sin and gaff cleansers as Daphne Galletti and LOO Bondi raping our people’s TVM turning it into a NET TV channel 2 will throw every possible doubt and usual muck onto Joseph as they are aware their end is near with his presence. But we the people have to ask …will he be better ? For starters anything can easily be better than GonziPN who is starting to get noted as the worst performer in Maltese government of our history. But if one visits the Joseph live speeches and questions this man directly … one could easily form a healthy opinion as to where our vote should be and what to focus on in order to get out of this very serious sad state of affairs played down on the abused people’s media platforms showing what a FAKE LOO Bondi is and what a fiasco GonziPN has been to date. After all. … the unknown is always scary but nothing ventured is nothing gained and what we have now IS definitely NOT GOOD. Thanks for reading and hope you find it helpful

It’s interesting that when these nutjobs talk about bringing down the government, they don’t mention politicians other than Lawrence Gonzi and Austin Gatt. But they do mention Lou Bondi and Defni Malizia or Daphne Galletti or whatever they call me to work through all the chips they’ve got in the name department.

I can’t speak for Bondi, who’ll be making his own choices (though I can imagine what those choices will be), but what do these absolute idiots imagine – that I’m going to disappear when Labour is elected? Stop writing my newspaper column? Dump this blog?

That fresh, humble, European Joseph Muscat will have me arrested and imprisoned without trial as an enemy of the state?

No, I’ll be having a field-day and perversely loving every bit of it. If there’s so much to say about Labour in Opposition, just imagine what a festa it’s going to be with Labour in government.

    I would like to thank the Labour “Party” for calling rockstars ‘antipatki’. Says a lot about them. Vera mandra ta’ nies.

  2. R. Camilleri says:

    Well, he used “wise guys” correctly.

  3. Kenneth Cassar says:

    Crazy. No wonder he posts anonymously.

  4. Rita Camilleri says:

    I despair for my country..

    On another subject.

    Oh, so now they have confidence in the judge.

    “A Board of Inquiry has concluded that the police all of a sudden hurriedly took Cyrus Engerer’s case to court because he resigned from the Partit Nazzjonalista (PN). The case had been dragging for months and no action had been taken.”
    http://www.maltastar.com/

    “Earlier today, Dr Muscat that the decision by the Minister of Home Affairs to appoint Judge Albert Manche’ to lead the inquiry into the police investigation of Cyrus Engerer was ‘insensitive’ and it had no confidence in the Judge.”

    “just imagine what a festa it’s going to be…”

    Now let’s just for argument’s sake assume that the P.L in government will do a good job of it. Will you still be criticising them, left right and centre, as we have to admit, we do now?

    I doubt whether they would be stupid enough as to make you stop writing your newspaper column. They will just let you fade yourself out for lack of followers.

    [Daphne – 1. People who make a hash of the Opposition are not going to make a good job of government. Politicians do not miraculously metamorphone into different people when they are in government. If you know somebody to be inefficient and inept in whatever he does now, you’re not going to offer him a job running your business, hoping for the best. At least, I hope not. Remember that I went through exactly these same arguments with Alfred Sant, and I had the good grace not to tell anyone I Told You So. My argument then was that you could already tell on the available evidence that Sant was not up to it and that his character flaws were a major stumbling block to getting the job of prime minister done. I was pilloried for my pains, but there you go. So your question is hypothetical. I can’t imagine answering it because I can’t imagine a scenario in which Joseph Muscat, George Vella, Karmenu Vella and Silvio Parnis are going to run the country in any other way but badly. It’s true that people in general have a much higher tolerance threshold for poor performance by Labour, on the principle that anything it does passably well is the equivalent of a dog walking on its hind legs, but I don’t. I hold Labour to the same standards as the Nationalist Party and always find them wanting in every way.

    2. How can the Labour Party stop me writing my newspaper column? I don’t work for the Labour Party newspaper. And I own my own blog.

    3. It’s highly unlikely that I will fade away for lack of followers anytime soon, and I say this clinically. You do realise, I trust, that a whole new generation has been born and grown to adulthood since I started writing a newspaper column in 1990, and they react to me in exactly the same way their parents did. People who have never read a single thing I’ve written still feel qualified to discuss me, only this time it’s on Facebook. When I stop writing, it will be because I’ve had it with people, and not because people have had it with me, and that’s not an arrogant statement but a way of giving you an idea of what it’s like to be constantly discussed, talked about and torn to shreds while constantly being asked stupid questions and dealing with people’s ignorance. I have done it so far because I can’t not do it. I feel it is my duty. My national service, two decades and counting. Believe me when I say that I wish I could fade away, but as long as I write I am not going to be allowed to.]

      Silvio, people willing to vote PL because – who knows? – maybe in government it would do a good job remind me of those women willing to marry a churlish layabout because – who knows? – maybe after marriage he’ll become a wonderful husband and father.

      It never happens.

      With Labour it’s literally ‘what you see is what you get’. Never was a phrase more appropriate

      • Jozef says:

        Agreed.

        The message tries to be analogous to that of Coca Cola.

        Sell iconographic memory, the adventure of youth, Christmas and family, given that the product doesn’t really possess any material qualities.

        They miss out on the execution though, and maybe the fact that Coca Cola relies on its reputation and history, safe in the knowledge that all age groups can relate to the message.

        Selling Labour along the same lines restricts the market to the early twenty-somethings who don’t have access to memory. Falsification and tampering with memory itself, in this day and age, is taboo.

        When Pepsi introduced the decaffeinated, reduced sugar version, the campaign tried to make fun of the previous version’s effects with kids on the rampage around the house. Pepsi lost market share on an unprecedented scale.

        And this is caramelised carbonated water we’re talking about.

    • silvio says:

      I couldn’t have wished for a better answer to my question than the above. It shows your character, and your fighting spirit.

      Wish we had more like you.

    • democratically RAPED says:

      Sounding a bit like another Silvio towards the end there Daphne, but taken in good spirit.

    • John Schembri says:

      Daphne will remain Daphne and the PL won’t metamorphose into a functioning government.

      As the old saying goes: “Tiehux il-hall biex isirlek inbid.”

  7. Joe Micallef says:

    May the supernatural (would that be acceptable to PL twerps?) have mercy on us! Well as long as this blog hangs on, bring it on!

  8. lomax says:

    Frankly, the only good thing with having Muscat as our leader is this site. We will need this site for our sanity. We already do, let alone in some two years’ time.

  9. Pat II says:

    @Pat (not myself)
    Daphne, this has nothing to do with this post, but please allow me to give this info to Pat re a song she was looking for.

    Pat, that Maltese song was by Mary Rose Mallia and was called Il-Pont Ta` Wied Rummiena. Could not post you a link as it is not on Youtube. But if you want it, give me your email address and I`ll send it to you.

    “No, I’ll be having a field-day and perversely loving every bit of it. If there’s so much to say about Labour in Opposition, just imagine what a festa it’s going to be with Labour in government”

    In that case, no one will be able to accuse you of bias for criticising the opposition but never the government.
    :)

  11. Grezz says:

    Fresh, humble European Joseph Muscat – the one who tried so damned hard to keep Malta out of the EU, and is now milking our being in it for all it’s worth?

  12. Jozef says:

    ‘young disillusioned PN and young fresh promising guys with the obvious old wise guys needed for consistency but it is obvious that within new labour the new fresh progressive idealogy under Joseph will take priority and rule’

    It seems the offer here is the following;

    Give Labour the vote, helping them prove to themselves, that Joseph is capable of keeping his wise men in check.

    Or better, ‘we weren’t capable of change and policy ourselves, we need you to put us in government to test whether we’d be able to set our mind to it’

    Rewording it again exposes the forma mentis of one who wants to have another go, using the same methods, even if he failed.
    It also provides a clue to what Joseph really is.

    Looking at it closely, it slowly becomes disturbing to those who can read it. So what they do is target those who will by next year be eligible to vote.

    Araw x’ghamel Dr. Eddie Fenech Adami fl-Oppozzizjoni – kollox kif qed tghid Daphne: Oppozzizjoni tajba u kien jaf x’ jghid. U dam fil-gvern ma nafx kemm il-sena tlift l-count.. you re great, Daphne, keep it up.

  15. Pat Zahra says:

    To be honest I sometimes wonder whether it will be safe for you to continue this blog if Labour win the election.

    Most people seem to have forgotten what it was like back then, or they hadn’t been born yet and so think we’re being hysterical.

    The plain fact of the matter, however, is that the danger we lived in was very real.

    You have a duty to your country – and for these many years of good sense and excellent journalism I thank you – but your family need you just as much.

    I find myself in two minds – sometimes I hope they show their true colours and shock a few of these blithering idiots out of their foolishness. At other times I hope Joseph Muscat can control his people for all our sakes.

    You’re right about having low expectations. I for one will be happy if we don’t have outbreaks of violence and if my son can make his way into and out of University without hindrance.

  16. Karl Flores says:

    It is quite clear that the people who write on this Wall are completely confounded and that their criticisms are way off target. I have also read that ‘drowning men clutch at straws’ and these spoutings are no more than the death-rattle of the supporters of a party about to croak.

    • Jozef says:

      Explain in full, with the use of examples, why people who write on this ‘Wall’ are completely confounded and how their criticisms are way off target.

      The use of political papers and documents published by the two parties represented in parliament, for reference, is allowed.

      (The serial use of ‘GonziPN’, ‘progressive’, ‘liberal’ and ‘young and fresh way of doing politics’ may inhibit the objective of this exercise)

      • Karl Flores says:

        Which wall are you exactly referring to because in my comment I was referring to Facebook’s, ‘No for Gonzi’ and not to any other blog or wall.

    • Jozef says:

      I know.

      And guess what? No one answered.

  17. ACD says:

    Pathetic. The article about Liam Fox’s resignation is accompanied by a photo of London Arriva buses.

  18. Ghoxrin Punt says:

    little note for NO TO GONZI

    1) unemployment in Malta – ranges between 6.2% and 6.6% – average EU 10%
    2) Maltese anticipated GDP growth for 2011 – 2.6% – EU – 1.5%/2.3%
    3) Inflation in Malta – 2.3% – average EU 2.6%

    not bad for ‘the worst performer in Maltese Government in our history’

  19. Ghar u Kasa says:

    The ‘Maltese Labour Cum Socialist cum Far Left cum Communist cum Maggoranza Gdida cum Far Right cum Progressiv u Moderat Party’ has changed from MLP to PL (PN?) Super One To ONE (Net?) Over Our Dead Body EU to Best Decisiion Ever ( La x-xitan ried hekk) engaged an ‘ex’-Nationalist Stategist who feared bieng jobless, tried a Friday night ‘ex-‘ Nationalist talk show presenter to compete (without success) Where’s Everybody etc…etc.Bottom line – why voting for a Party who is trying hard to shed the adversary’s- Party image? As they say, there’s nothing like the original!
