					<description><![CDATA[I had similar thoughts especially after watching Hitler the Rise to Evil (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Gsy4xs02Hs) and rereading Bullock&#039;s biography last month.

I shudder to think that the parallels are not coincidental. 

If so, Muscat is significantly worse than Mintoff and we&#039;re heading into the abyss.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[While we&#039;re at it, may I recommend Kenneth Branagh&#039;s film &quot;Conspiracy&quot;? Just watch, digest and reflect. 

It&#039;s EXACTLY the same scenario: a great plan, known only to the select few, getting bogged down in the details which everyone conveniently skims over, and ultimately self-destructing. 

As one of the more prescient characters says, does anyone even understand the bureacratic train wreck that will follow?

On the other side, we have a lumbering, hand-wringing cabal of jurists and social workers, who know no science and are attempting to rebut scientific nonsense with literary language. 

Fail, gentlemen, major fail.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Malta, Malta, über Alles has long been a particular section of Maltese society&#039;s mantra. 

The Us versus Them perception had always had me wondering if this was just a small island mentality, or if it is a core Mintoffjan concept. 

The popularity of Gensna among mainly Labour supporters seems to support the latter idea. 

Speaking of Gensna, Nazi Germany had Riefenstahl&#039;s Triumph des Willens, but the struggle for freedom concept in Gensna gives more than a nod to Eisentein&#039;s Battleship Potemkin.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I wish to congratulate Lou Bondi for having immediately grasped the flaws in the PL&#039;s plan to cut utility bills and for having asked the pertinent questions. 

In fact Muscat was very impatient and arrogant and brushed Lou aside by asking for questions from other journalists.  

Muscat also let the cat out of the bag when he said that he was &#039;very confident&#039; that there would be private investors interested.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Good point but every leader somehow has the temptation of megalomania in his career.  Some are humble enough not to believe their own propaganda, but others believe it.  

What I find strikingly similar to Labour&#039;s gimmicks is the PN&#039;s  &#039;&#039;pluralistic&#039;&#039; buzzword.  At least it is just one word &#038; not the &#039;&#039;liberal, moderate &#038; progressive&#039;&#039; soup of Muscat.]]></description>
