Baxxter, my question was slightly sarcastic, in the sense that Joseph’s idea of a ‘humanitarian hub’ was: (i) most probably only a proposal improvised for the sake of convenience while he was calling for our prudence and seeking to politically protect Gaddafi, and (ii) clearly not in line with Imperium Europa’s Credo at all.

But I am fully aware of the converging positions of Imperium Europa and MaltaTanaLkoll on immigration and on the harbouring of extremist voters with national socialist and fascist views.

It is not yet clear to me if Imperium Europa is on the verge of winning the elections for Labour, or if it is Labour that is winning this for Imperium Europa. The level of extremism is increasing, and in Malta this has not manifested itself in fringe parties as yet.

This will probably be a development that will take place after these elections, when Joseph Muscat discovers that he cannot be everything to everyone and the ‘movement’ implodes.

Malta’s initiative under Mintoff to link security in Europe with security in the Mediterranean in the CSCE was ruined by his
outrageous demands that put off all the other members of the conference, including Mediterranean and neutral ones.

This initiative with potential positive elements was smothered by another negative ones like excessive friendship with Col. Gaddafi and North Korea.

There is no one within the present leadership of the Labour Party who has any positive contribution to his credit in foreign affairs, but there are some with negative credentials.

Is Malta-as-Libya’s-backyard?

Imperium Europa has been ignored or derided since 2004, but they’re about to win the election for Labour. Why do you think PN did so badly in 2008?

Isn’t the setting up of a ‘humanitarian hub’ not perfectly in line with Imperium Europa’s Credo?

If it wasn’t for the constant tribal squabbling, Malta could be a paradigm for the modern world.

The island’s size and location are ideal for leading edge innovations: Infrastructure; Transport; ICT; modern integrated living.

Yes Malta could be perfect if only it wasn’t populated by Maltese.

Mintoff, KMB, Sant and now Muscat all thought that the tiny spit of rock that is Malta can somehow influence the world. What few people realise, is that Malta is thought of as some Italian dependency by most non Europeans (and by quite a large number of fellow EU citizens as well), if they have even heard of us that is.

We are however known by some countries closer to us, but for the bad press arising from our hunting excesses.

And the Brits? Well most older fellas do get a gleam in their eyes when you mention Malta, but invariably will at some point dreamily mention Strait Street.

So whilst Muscat may think he is a pretty big fish in the local pond, the sad reality is that in the vast oceans out there he is a nonentity.

Shades of Dear Joseph.

Why? Are they giving free copies of Imperium Europa to use instead of fire wood for the fireplace?
