Posted by qahbumalti, this morning:
Dalli had something up his sleeve with the MLP and now it has been seriously derailed – I suspect not completely.
I cannot put my finger on it but I suspect it is either something to do with energy or something to do with his EU portfolio.
The MLP has been more seriously rattled than the PN with these events and someone must get to the bottom of the Dalli-MLP link.

Sargas?
Party finance now that the MLP’s sponsor’s gone to his great torture ground in the sky?
yeah but still… the PL will be governing Malta by the end of 2012… whether you like it or not :)
If he was commissioner for health he would have had a say in the emissions of a certain power generating plant, as well as be involved in the decision as to whether CCS is a definite way to get rid of CO2 or not. What amounts of CO2 are acceptable if these find their way back up to the surface.
As commissioner for food standards, he would also have had a say in what percentage of food scraps in the coal paste would have made it biomass.
Swedish Match was peanuts.

Compared to this, Stalin’s purges will look like pizzi pizzi kanna.
More right wing policies from the movement of progressives.
My word, she’s getting fatter by the minute.
She has the Maltese BBW genes.
Very common on the island since pre-neolithic times.
[Daphne – There is no continuity between Malta’s Neolithic population and today’s. There wasn’t even any continuity between the Neolithic population and that of the Bronze Age. They were different people entirely. Malta’s population is pretty new – not much more than a thousand years, really, from Sicily and North Africa, mainly.]
Ken il malti is out of his depth here, commenting on the genetic makeup of the local population in pre-Neolithic times.
He would first have to establish, before declaring what was common in their genes, that such a community in fact existed.
I wrote that tongue in cheek, the BBW ( Big Beautiful Women} gene thing reference was the tip off.
But I doubt that pre Neolithic genes or Neolithic genes died out completely in Malta as I believe that some the modern Maltese population still has remnants of these older islanders’ DNA.
[Daphne – Pre-Neolithic?]
Some of the pre- Arriva bus drivers certainly convinced me of that.
*BTW, on a serious note; what happened to the extremely large human skulls unearthed in Malta with odd number of(extra?) molars that use to be on exhibit in the Malta museum up until the 1950s?
I did find a photo of these skulls taken in the 1930s at the Malta Museum ..somewhere on the internet awhile back.
Maltese (local) Pre- Neolithic people mixed with Neanderthals.
Based on the fairly new theory making the rounds that modern man interbred with Neanderthals (or vice versa).

[Daphne – Malta didn’t exist when Neanderthals were around.]
Neanderthals existed in the Balkan region 33,000 years ago and near Gibraltar up to 24,000 years ago .
Way before that time what is now Malta had long ago became a island archipelago separated from the Italian- Sicilian land ridge that extended to what is now Gozo and Malta.
At about 5 million years ago tectonic activity caused a re-opening of the Gibraltar straits filling up the dry Mediterranean basin and isolating the Maltese Islands from the mainland of the Italian/Sicilian land ridge.
Malta was an island when neanderthals existed, the question is did they come to Malta (or were they always in Malta); as they were a lot more intelligent than they are given credit for.
I believe that Joseph Muscat knew about the investigation of John Dalli by OALAF before the Prime Minister.
Interesting observation.

The deadly, no holds barred, political war between Gonzi and Dalli has shaken the Nationalist Party to its roots with the Labour Party being the sole beneficiary.
It is my guess that much more than half of the undecided “Won’t vote” or “Don’t knows” are Nationalists disgruntled with GonziPN. As I see it, the only hope lies in winning back these crucial voters if the Nationalist Party woos them back with the prosepct of a change of leadership after the next election, win or lose..

Malta is the smallest country in the EU, but somehow we manage to do the largest embarrassing damage to the EU’s image. No doubt we rank first.
I think we are more suitable to belong to the African Union as we would fit very nicely.
Why on earth should the PL be rattled by seeing the PN, one of it’s former stalwarts and one of its Deputy Mayors mud-wrestling?
Dalli must be miffed that his rapprochement with Labour is now unlikely to come to any fruition. Il-hmar il maghkus….
“its” not “it’s”, naturally
Here are two interesting links connected to Dalli.

Could it be that they just lost their Sugar Daddy?
I hear billboards are quite expensive.
Is it a trait of Joseph Muscat to get others to do the dirty work for him?

I trust qahbumalti is referring to Sargas because Muscat has gone head over heels to persuade all that the Sargas plant is our answer to high energy bills.
Funny though, only this week in parliament, JM took the government to task for buying what he referred to as an untried and untested power plant from BWSC.
The question beckons – where has the Sargas plant been implemented and is currently supplying energy?
Secondly how long would it take Sargas to supply a working floating power plant before we can start reaping the benefits of lower energy tariffs (if we do get lower tariffs through Sargas after all – I have my doubts)?

Conrad Black again.
The Malta Labour Party knows that the name of John Dalli opens all doors – he even managed to open the door of President Barroso. As Dalli himself stated about his meeting with Barroso, “The door was open, and I was either going to walk through it or be thrown out of it.”
Utter rubbish!
I see readers of this website are now into Marvel comics.
Where’s Stitching?
I guess this blows Dalli’s chances of becoming president should PL be elected.
