Basically, Labour has planted a 24-hour spy at Jeffrey’s side

Published: July 5, 2012 at 2:12pm

See my previous post first, but there’s just one more thing.

The advantage to the Labour Party in providing personal security to Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando Smith, other than creating yet another situation of obligation and indebtedness, is that Labour knows every minute of the day where he is, what he’s doing, where he goes, and who he’s seeing, who enters his house, who leaves it, where he drives and who he meets at his destination.

And in this situation, that’s very, very useful information indeed.

    Well, in that regard his obsessive use of Facebook pretty much did the same thing, so not much difference.

    The Labour octopus has all its tentacles around him.

  3. Bunny Rabbit says:

    That is one nifty way of keeping tabs on one’s trrascible and unreliable partner.

    Offer him security services – for HIS protection, naturally.

  4. Dee says:

    Carmen sure has got him by the short and curlies – and with plenty of help from Michelle too.

  5. Riff Raff says:

    I appreciate the point about obligation and indebtedness.

    With regard to what JPO is doing, where he’s going, who he’s meeting etc., does the PL, or anyone else for that matter, really care?

    It’s not like he’s suddenly become the President of the United States.

    [Daphne – Of course they care. They’re using him as a step-ladder. You have to know where your step-ladder is and what it’s doing or who it’s meeting.]

    • Riff Raff says:

      OK, maybe I’m a bit naive when it comes to Maltese politics. I still think that this person’s importance has been overblown. And he’s enjoying every minute.

      [Daphne – How has it been overblown? He holds the balance of power and entered into a plot with Labour to force one of the government’s key people to resign. He’s not important in a positive way, but a negative way. No, I’m not sure he’s enjoying every minute. He is the sort of person who would prefer to be admired, but never quite saw how he could go about it.]

    • silvio says:

      Daphne, I wonder whether the part about the step-ladder applies to all those who have guards, police or others, on their door-steps?

      [Daphne -Quite obviously not, Silvio. Some people are faced with real threats.]

      • Xintvojt says:

        Silvio, are you totally ignorant of a near-fatal knife attack on a public servant by drug dealers’s thugs, determined arson attempts on Daphne’s family home, and other similar incidents – or are you simply being a jerk?

  6. Lomax says:

    It’s not fair, though. JPOS is being “secured” and guarded from all his phantomatic assailants whilst we poor sods are left to our own devices to deal with our very real assailants (i.e. JPOS, Franco Debono and all the other members of Joseph’s skip).

    Life’s a real bitch.

  7. Lomax says:

    Kemm hu bahnan. He is dancing and singing and generally playing the fool to his enemy’s tune.

    Little does he know that he’s cutting his nose to spite his face (the appropriate expression would be “qieghed idahhal il-lifgha f’ kommtu” – can’t find an equivalent one in English).

  8. Angus Black says:

    The free ‘security’ around the clock is sounding more like Labour’s version of ‘house arrest’.

  9. ron says:

    She has him by the balls, the stupid man.

  10. Fido says:

    Apart from exposing the machinations that Joseph Muscat has come up with for his ambitious political ambitions, it also clearly demonstrates how Macchiavellian he is.

    Evidently he is showing that for him the end justifies the means. Whoever is Macchiavellian in his or her approach shows that he/she has no ethical or moral standards.

    Is this the shining light that expects to lead this nation where everything goes till it takes him where and gets him what he wants?

    This means he has no qualms for using people; so how can he ever really care for the people he wants to lead?

    For JPOS, I can only say that he has lost all his sense of reason. As the old Maltese appendage says. “tilef għaqlu wara mara”.

      Joseph will spend the whole legislature watching his back. He can have a parliamentary majority running into a dozen seats, but won’t be able to shirk the promises done. Too many, costly and legally undoable. He’s fine now, messing behind the scenes, when it will be his call, he’ll have to gather the guts to say no. Yeah right.

      The Prince wasn’t written with the funny business of democratic representation in mind.

  11. Adrian says:

    First they made him cry in 2008, now they are baby-sitting him.

  12. Jozef says:

    The version he gave to The Times is different to that provided by Labour sources.

    They only confirmed help in sourcing security, whereas he goes into all the detail, specifically mentioning Michelle Muscat. That wasn’t something we needed to know.

    Trust him to cross someone close to him, then onto Paul Borg Olivier.

    “I can publicly reiterate that I will accept any help offered by him.”

    What is this guy?

  13. P Shaw says:

    A lot of truth about Carmen is finally being revealed.

    It is also worth noting that before hooking up with Jeffrey, Carmen Ciantar used to go to Gozo for weekend breaks with Alfred Sant and a few other people. Suffice it to say that Sant was very particular about his social circle, due to his paranoia about his wig and people cracking jokes about it.

    Alfred Sant really trusted Carmen and felt at ease with her.

    • Jozef says:

      Very interesting. Was Jeffrey aware of this?

      It does give a new sense to his ‘ghalfejn qed taghmilli hekk’ and Alfred Sant’s refusal to face him.

      Internal sources in Labour had expressed disgust at the way Jeffrey was about to be used, betrayed perhaps.
