He doth protest too much
John Dalli has a big interview in Malta Today, making it clear that he thinks the prime minister of Malta is in cahoots with the president of the European Commission, the tobacco industry and OLAF. They have all plotted together to have him removed from office, thereby derailing stringent tobacco legislation, and that’s why Jose Manuel Barroso was in Malta two weeks ago under the pretext of the 5 + 5 Summit.
In other news, Prince Philip plotted to have Diana, Princess of Wales, murdered, the moon landings were filmed in a Hollywood studio back in the 1960s, and George Bush had the Twin Towers blown up so that he could blame it on the Ay-rabs and start a war.
And please, regular reader Kevin Ellul Bonici, stay away from this one and don’t flood my comments-board with conspiracy theories.
We know that Dalli is paranoid and obsessive by the way he has comported himself in public over the last few years, and by many of the things he has said and the way in which he has said them.
But it is a curious sort of paranoia, in which he has come to believe his own lies, or at least appears to believe them. All that fuss about his email account being hacked back in July, and how he had made a report to the police, and then we found out – because the police made it clear in a written statement – that he never made a report at all, not about email hacking, and nor did he give them any IP numbers or names.
And we know now, too, that he only made that public fuss about having his email hacked when he had been told by OLAF that he was under formal investigation. Was he trying to create a mise-en-scene?

He sent a formal warning to Silvio Zammit to keep away, so to speak. But this happened in AUGUST. Closing the door after the horse has bolted, so this is an insult to your nation’s intelligence, Johnny Boy.
Norl Grima’s article in today’s The Malta Independent on Sunday is eye-opening. So is the comment by one of your readers questioning Johnny Boy’s role the GMO legislation. This should be investigated. Or perhaps not – the guy is on his way to hell anyway.
John Dalli had too much baggage to be appointed EU Commissioner in the first place.
Guilty or not guilty I still believe that all of his dubious encounters with corruption did not happen by chance. Maybe someone can list all of these issues and have it all so clearly outlined.
Silvio Zammit apparently also had some ‘issues’ with the tiling project at the national pool.
Moral of the story – you can’t be in business and enter politics. Yet what’s worse is when one is in politics and then makes it a business.
And what’s horrific is when a political party takes up an individual’s business interests and puts them up on its website (make that the leader’s personal website), and sells it as the political manifesto.
Business interests which have dictated the form of any eventual proposal to suit their configuration.
Frank Portelli happens to be the first thing in the way. Anyone ever imagined Labour would be at diametric odds with what the MUMN is saying?
Tourism and its hotels, infrastructure and its standards, Urban regeneration and traffic management, Social policy and facilities required, development and the unused sprawl.
And finally, EU parliamentary group funding and cross party dealing in Malta. You name it, they’ve got their proponent sitting in the benches.
Let’s have the electoral campaign soonest.

If this is the exgonziPN prototype Labour’s hanging onto to exercise their thesis and multiply their following, so be it.
In the PN’s case matters have come to a head where this psychotic individual expects free rein, thankfully, in his own words the PN seems to have the necessary moral clout to disown him.
Joseph’s Labour Party instead, has moulded itself around Dalli’s method.
Indeed, he should carry on and provide more insight into the extent of his approximate relation to ethics and to what degree Labour prostituted itself.

If they so wish to become another Berlusconian movement, it’s all theirs for the taking. We know what happened there, a sequence of scandals, newspapers doing the unthinkable, policies nowhere to be seen and corruption legislated for in parliament ad personam.
‘I expected Barroso to support me’, Dalli cried out Dalli in Malta Today’s headline. Il-vera wicc ta’ qahba.
First you make your boss look like a fool by asking for 60 million euros from a company in return for helping them, and then expect your boss to support you.
And Gonzi keeps his mouth shut.
Once a Catholic Action president, always a Catholic Action president.
If he were saying the truth, he’d have talked about the judicial letter as soon as he resigned. This is too contrived.
Actually, nothing he could have said would have saved him. That judicial letter came too late.
