I wouldn&#039;t put it beyond the bunch of `pimps, thieves and scoundrels` for it all to have been intended.

Some cooks prepare the herbs and spices in advance of the stew. Rather like: an Indian meal will create a pre-expectation of curry and/or cardamom; a Hungarian one of paprika; dill wouldn&#039;t be out of place with a Polish meal.

In order for Joseph Muscat to be able operate his scams, Malta&#039;s  - then - new pristine name had to come down by several notches, especially on the EU front.

Shiv Nair has been in place operating since Sant was last in power. Perfectly positioned to select the spices that would prepare the palate.

This has been on Joseph Muscat&#039;s back burner for a long, long time. To contemplate otherwise would be to misjudge this vile, malicious, spiteful, calculating and completely amoral opponent.

......................

This too would explain the macabre tantillation of those - more nobly blessed - whose direct experience of life was stunted by those more talented and able. 

The tabs of non-recognition and indignation at non-participation forever mounting. An &quot;indisputedly deserved&quot; meritocracy: their figments of imagination salvaged. Their egos caressed.

For a game of chess where they opted to knave for the silent tyrant.

That particular brand of local Joseph-voting-Guizi have a earned themselves a stench that locally, will never, ever leave them. A body odour to last generations.

The silent tyrant is a long term planner. The selected players have their price.  Seven generations worth of discomfort is, to the tyrant, an easy long-term investment. The grease on oil-starved tracks, now remodelled to fit and serve without semblance or knowledge of shame. 

A continent silently conquered.

Meta-tooling from the morally weakest entry-point.

Troy all over again: The horse filling as we breathe.

Classically ironic that it&#039;s under a Greek Presidency.

......................

Self-serving greed: sloth and gluttony.
 
A ship of mutinous avaricious Labour fools: serial traitors of Malta and the Maltese.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I simply cannot believe some of the comments on timesofmalta.com.

Is it possible that these people do not realise that this scheme is &#039;selling&#039; a citizenship for the whole of Europe and not just for Malta?

Of course the EU has to be consulted when one is involving all the other members.

It just goes to show the mentality of these people and the party they support. Ethics, respect, rules and regulations are all thrown out of the window.

Ignorant gullible sheep!]]></description>
