But they do, Berta, they do and that is the scariest of all.

Their plan is simple - promise magic, declare themselves &#039;safe&#039; with SMEs, students and the whole enchilada, but once elected they do the exact opposite.

Those who trust them do so at their own peril!]]></description>

@ kev

&quot;Meanwhile, indebted eurozone countries continue to be bled to death, not least through perpetual usury&quot;.

What about indebted countries outside the eurozone?

Where did the bank failures begin? Within the eurozone? Certainly not.

If you classify usury as &#039;perpetual&#039; it means that it has always existed, is now and will continue in the future.

Are you one of the few that still think that if Malta stayed out of the EU we would have been better off, more financially secure and enjoying a better life than we had in the 70s and 80s? 

That era was no fiction but real misery brought about by your glorious Labour Party.

Instead of cutting and pasting, why can you not engage your own brain and make honest comparisons between life in the 70s and today, that is, if you are old enough to have lived those years or at least, you respect evidence and the experiences of those who did?]]></description>

Beppe will not divulge what was said between him and the two clowns probably because it&#039;s their word against his. 

It could not possibly be because of a &#039;gentlemen&#039;s agreement&#039; since the two cannot be classified as such, therefore Beppe would be free to tell us what really went on and what was said.  Too bad!

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Angus, the fact that the other party to a conversation is a clown or similar does not release one from the obligation to keep what was said between you.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

Paul Carachi wasn&#039;t nasty when he wanted a separate seat from his party and Cettina Darmenia Brincat wasn&#039;t either when she nipped divorce in the bud and not even Ms Coleiro Preca was when she disagreed with Joseph  when attacked by her people even though there was a free vote on divorce.

I watched Xarabank and no journalist worth his salt seems to have noticed that Beppe Fenech Adami challenged Toni Abela and Wenzu Mintoff to devulge what was said during secret meetings both had with Beppe and his father (and probably others) after they resigned from the Labour Party.

Beppe showed his mettle when he openly challenged them to let him divulge what was said, but they refused.

The subject was raised by Toni Abela, who seemed to have selective memory.

There was a rowdy pro-Labour audience, with the usual interruptions by those who ‘agreed’ that during Mintoff’s hold on Malta, grave mistakes were made.

Toni repeated the word “hazin” several times and agreed with Beppe on several counts. Yana should now take note of what her deputy leader and her cousin admitted in public about this part of our political history.

Now she can check the facts with her ‘colleagues’ in her father’s party.

Toni Abela should be man enough to allow Beppe to tell us this interesting part of our history.]]></description>

Thobb il-fiction, Troy. Hawn ha: http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/have-you-heard-about-the-16-trillion-dollar-bailout-the-federal-reserve-handed-to-the-too-big-to-fail-banks

The original report submitted by the Federal Reserve is here (they were forced to do so by Ron Paul&#039;s 2009 congressional bill which, miraculously, passed):

http://www.scribd.com/doc/60553686/GAO-Fed-Investigation#outer_page_144  

That takes you to page 144, concerning lending to European banks (at 0.5% for them to lend it to governments at loan shark rates). You can then CTR+F to search for &quot;european central bank&quot; - or go directly to page 214 onwards (that&#039;s from pg 201 on document)  - Table 24 tells you that there was a &#039;dollar swap&#039; of over $8 trillion with the ECB.

In short, the &#039;fiction&#039; is that the global banking cartel creates its money in dollars at the Federal Reserve (in trillions), to lend to the cartel&#039;s crony (BIG) banks at very, very low rates. Meanwhile, indebted eurozone countries continue to be bled to death, not least through perpetual usury.
