'Cunning' tricks and twisted minds
You won’t believe this. Well, I couldn’t believe it at first and actually contacted the Nationalist Party this morning to find out whether somebody, somewhere, has taken leave of his senses.
But they didn’t know about it and are going to take action.
There’s an ‘imposter’ Facebook Group calling itself Partit Nazzjonalista, which is set up to impersonate the real thing, with the party emblem as a profile pic, the correct address, contact and website details.
It appears to be run by Labour Party politician Cyrus Engerer, while (possibly former) Nationalist Party politician Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando uses it to dump on its wall his fixated diatribes against me, complete with pictures lifted from the Labour-sponsored hate-blog tasteyourownmedicine.
In between these diatribes, the site administrator – almost certainly Cyrus – uploads pictures of the general election victory in 2008, either because he was with the party then and feels sentimental about it, or to make it look authentic.
The effect is totally crazy, but then you have to be really twisted to be an adult, a politician, and do something like this.
When the Facebook page was set up, Cyrus was still in the Nationalist Party. Look at this comment from the page’s wall, posted on 1 June:
Partit Nazzjonalista (the page administrator’s name)
….is at the Tas-Sliema Local Council discussing fitness exercises for the elderly…
But now he’s in the Labour Party and he’s kept his fake Partit Nazzjonalista page going, as a forum for his friend Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando to defecate in publicly, making it seem as though he’s doing it with the approval of the Nationalist Party.

Do you still not have a Facebook account?
[Daphne – If I had, wouldn’t you know about it?]
These people really must be nuts.
Something like this is definitely illegal. Hasn’t Cyrus had enough trouble with the law already?
Ghandu lil Doctor Debono avukat.
Sweet,
Does Joseph know about this?
‘Kemm nixtieqek mal-PN…..’
This is a perfect example of “plentink”
What Labour needs right now is some “plain thinking.”
Sinking?
When I was young my father used to tell me: ‘John, when things look like they are not going well, think positive because there is always a silver lining’.
The lesson is:
1. Your notebook is getting the message out loud and clear, much more so than the party, in my opinion.
2. Dr. Joseph (experienced salesman of Alfred Mifsud) is no different to old Labour.
3. Expect more to come, as the Nationalist Party is in slumber and the Labour Party are busy targetting individuals.
Dirt and mud-slinging do not run governments. Labour still have no clue as to what intelligent voters want to see.
Cyrus will soon end up being an unintended Trojan horse.
kemm ghandi ragun qatt ma fdajt il FACEBOOK
But it’s been active since 2008 so it’s not a new thing.
Although I do like the fact that its only “like” is Cyrus himself.
Between Cyrus and Jeffrey there’s enough stuff going on to fill an entire psychiatric conference.
Minister of Health Joe Cassar, a noted psychiatrist, must still have plenty to analyseeven though his cabinet post does not allow him to see patients.
Daphne, it is Cyrus who is the administrator of that fake PN page, no doubt about it.
Look at this comment by ‘Partit Nazzjonalista’:

“An SMS I received on Sun: Thank you Cyrus for d first time in 10 years u make me and my children smile in happiness i will never forget you

Atleast that Partit Nazzjonalista doesn’t keep sending me spam emails, unlike the real Partit Nazzjonalista. I get several a week, and each time reply asking them to stop, but to no avail.
This fake page was reported on several occasions to Facebook, using the feature “Report Page” (on the left). However, unfortunately no action was taken from Facebook.
Furthermore, PN Information Office personnel had written on the page itself for several times saying that this page is FAKE and is NO WAY related to the Nationalist Party. The proper address was also given for those who wish to REALLY follow PN’s Facebook page.
However, although these messages were uploaded on several occasions, nearly all of them were deleted from the Page Administrator/s. Only one of them, the most recent one, is still showing.
The PN Information Office is looking for other ways to contact Facebook’s Support Team for further actions.
[Daphne – I am very surprised because Facebook specifically do not allow ‘imposter pages’. It is very difficult to explain what the problem is via the online reporting system, and I imagine Facebook get a lot of false reports by people who wish to cause trouble for others. So I would suggest that the best way to go about it is by sending a judicial letter to Facebook’s office, and also serving Cyrus Engerer with the same in Malta. You could also – and I’m tempted to say this sarcastically but will restrain myself – start thinking about disciplining your MP who dumps his garbage on it. It’s a bit ridiculous, don’t you think, when the Nationalist Party is trying to get Facebook to deactivate that account, while one of your MPs posts regularly on it, giving it credibility.]
I have personally been the subject of Facebook harassment.
It is not effective to use the report function available as a tool on Facebook.
What can be done is a formal letter, written to Facebook’s European legal entity, Facebook Ireland Limited, with a description of the facts, very clear reference to the URL of the pages or dates of the posts concerned, how one believes those facts infringe on one’s rights, and a brief declaration that the facts stated can be supported in a legal case.
Facebook has its Terms of Use, available at the bottom of the screen, and it would be good if one can quote which term has been broken, or how one’s rights have been infringed under law.
Use of Facebook to violate the law is not permitted.
Facebook will address such complaints very effectively.
They also have some online forms, which one could fill instead.
These are the works of drowning rats.
I think you are registered on Facebook under another name.
[Daphne – I’m not. You would be astonished at how many people send me screenshots and information.]

What are you on, this time, Kev? Sharon’s pumpkin soup?
No, he’s just bored. At least he’s a loyal husband and doesn’t while away the time by chatting to Russians on internet sites. Sharon has got her mind at rest that while he’s here, he’s safe. Hux hekk, kev. No one here is after your money or your EU passport which you never wanted.

What to watch on Monday night?

To be fair all the posts are pre-mid-early 2011 when the proverbial sh*t hit the fan – with one bitter post by said supposed administrator in September – it is weird though that he hasn’t taken it down.
