Which is why it is not a good idea to replace the George Cross with the Maltese Cross on the flag.

Can you imagine Joseph Muscat shitting Eight-Pointed Crosses for a week?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;The Government said the Chinese were planning* to use Enemalta employees to service other power stations that China has in the Mediterranean.&quot;

I say:

&quot;Why not?&quot;

&quot;We are blessed with a very good, very important strategic position.  We are in Europe, but we are in the centre of the Mediterranean.

&quot;Companies that want to penetrate ... the North African market have a  safe haven where to invest...You are 30 just minutes away from Libya, 1 hour away from Egypt, 1 hour away from Tunisia and all the other places.

&quot;So it is the best place where to position your Head Quarters, where to  service all these countries just in one place.&quot;

Of course, I have to acknowledge the source of my wisdom:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2r7x180gKs

And I say even more than this.  If the deficit is used to &quot;throw money at the docks&quot;, one can even re-open the Malta Drydocks and the Enemalta workers will do some ship repair there at huge losses to be subsidised ...from the deficit.

And &quot;we will stand up to be counted.&quot;  We will make &quot;Europe wake up and smell ze coffee.&quot;

I think it is becoming very evident that Muscat is thinking like his de facto bosses, the Chinese.  In fact, he is thinking more in terms of China&#039;s strategies than Malta&#039;s.  Therefore, it is no wonder that he sees strategic value in the China-Enemalta deal.

The way he is talking is showing what&#039;s on his mind.  And it&#039;s essentially a Chinese vision for the Mediterranean, North Africa, and Africa.

The man has become a puppet of China.

And he is acting as though he was a Chairman of China&#039;s Mediterranean subsidiary.  Responsible for the Mediterranean and African regions.]]></description>
