What this man needs is his come-uppance. Too bad he’s not going to get it.

Joseph Muscat, addressing people in Gozo: “You may culturally be less inclined to speak your mind in public, but in the voting booth you will be alone.”
Could he be more patronizing?
No wonder he pulled out of his meeting with women’s groups. “I know you’re more culturally inclined to stay in the kitchen and put loads in the washing-machine, but you really should think about getting a job.”

Joseph Muscat doesn’t think women should get a job. A woman’s place is in the kitchen, that’s why he oped out of his meeting.
PL deputy leader gone missing, again.
Must be the buses.

And did anyone get their program in the post?
They don’t care. They don’t even listen to one word Joseph Muscat utters, let alone understand he is using their blissful ignorance to reach his goal. Pity!
So true. They clapped just the same when he mistakenly praised oil instead of gas.
Well done Gozo students for showing your appreciation to Dr. Gonzi. At least we know that some are grateful for what they are getting. I was really ashamed and disgusted by some of the MCAST and University students here who are led by their noses rather than their brains.

Just a glimpse at how Joseph’s policies are superficial and short-term in vision and how his real intentions already see him short-fusing Malta’s credibility in the EU.
Step by step towards disaster should be his slogan.
Daily, weekly monthly, yearly. I can’t wait for people to be twiddling their thumbs in state of shock unemployment and economic downturn. How long before the miracle of the blind happens?
Of course the underlying eternal promise whispered: ghax sibna z-zejt. Ghax Mintoff kien jaf fejn..; ghax issa differenti, ghax li gara fil-passat ma’ jinterressanix izjed;
The eternal promise, never quite in hand but always comfortably off-reach. Off-reach enough to change versions along the way. Media machines obliterating history in the wake of the new-truthing occurring. Deliberately twisting fact and statement: counting on their supporters’ lack of perspective and inability to analyse the spin put to them.
The calculations made must have taken into account that the die-hard MLP supporter will never doubt or suspect. This remains their core mass – blind and insensitive to any sense of overall achievement, no hands-on knowledge of results, no realisation that the state of the economy is what translates to their daily bread. The spin just bolsters this layer.
The rest are counting on the portrayal of a dream that Joseph & Co’s “changed” moviment with no name is to materialise out of thin air.
What is interesting, is that in general if you ask people to make a list of their dreams, 95% will only list a maximum of three: to win the lottery, to go on a fabulous holiday and another more personal one. Dreaming is not a luxury one knows how to indulge in, despite the disproportionate capacity to complain. Dreaming would require planning, forecasting and synthesis of this. It is a bit more complex than complaining.
Now here come Joseph & Co with their own dreamwork productions. There is a dream for everyone, provided by the state: further thinking unnecessary. Dick Whittingtons on their way to London searching for streets paved with the gold that they have been promised.
To counter any bursting of the bubble, the media machines, save for those related with Daphne, propogate this myth in the making.
Repetition of falsehoods, by the Labour media stations, that have long since been negated and clarified continues unchecked.
Joseph shrugs off or lies about matter that ought to be unacceptable behaviour from a party leader.
This is the work of the professional conman and his spin.
Warped psychological combat is the new MLP violence through Joseph.
If people had enough confidence in themselves, they would not remain state-dependant for their dreams but would act as grown-up individuals able to access the framework provided, for each and every person, to plan towards higher objectives.
The problem lies in effort. Real planning requires real change. This cannot be spoon-fed. The state is not going to change the way you plan your life if you can’t do this for yourself.
What you can be sure of, is that eternal dreams will continue to be propogated by the dreamworks machines whilst the dreammaker wreaks havoc with the economy.
Joseph’s own real dreams were materialised by EFA, Dr. Gonzi’s responsible political choices, Mintoff and last but not least, by his parents. Joseph and Michelle still live in the family house – the parents have been relegated to the upstairs floor in the family house that was renovated when the father’s fireworks factory was sold.
We already have had to live through the result of some of his own dreams in action. Thank God that, by a very fine line, we were saved from the effects of those disastrous objectives.
If he were confident in a clean win through a clean game, we would not have had the political shenanigans of the last four and a half years occurring. All this talk about positive and clean campaigning from Joseph is total nonsense. Just more spin. Just more to add to the glitter of the sham.
I’m in favour of dreams, but I’d prefer to go for the house made of bricks than the house made of straw.
How many people would bet on a horse that has consistently lost every race it has ever participated in, just because its same owners represent it under a new name and new colours?
Muscat lacks charisma, big time.
What he was saying as you well know is that people are afraid to speak out against the present government for fear of losing their jobs.
I personally know of a couple who attended a march organised by an NGO.
The following week the husband was told that his services were no longer required and the wife was relocated from her job in Gozo to one in Malta. With two kids to provide for they are practically living in poverty thanks to GonziPN and his mafia.
The same applies to the “switchers” and opportunisti who, we suspect, have been promised something personal by the Populist movement. They too will be alone in the cubicle and blood and common sense may yet prevail.
He’s a fine one to talk about getting women into work when his wife does nothing but play wife to him and cart the children around. They’re FIVE years old, for heaven’s sake. Shouldn’t she be setting an example once she had a hand in drawing up the PL policies as Mrs Great Leader?
Please don’t tell me she’s going to be on the public payroll as cmmunications adviser to prime minister Muscat.
