Goes to show that Commissioner Reding has no clue of Joseph Muscat&#039;s under-handed way of doing things.

At the same time that she said that, Joseph Muscat was already twisting things to his advantage with his blatant lies.

I totally agree with you that we can take it as a given that any rule will be ignored.]]></description>

Totally correct, it cannot be much more clearer than this. At 42, I missed the European opportunity, which I voted for, but my son is still very young. He can make it away from this tiny little bit of a rock where most people&#039;s analytical skills were never developed.]]></description>

I questioned this before, but politicians are not reading.  With his 1 billion euro, Muscat will increase the size of government by about 25%.  

Muscat will not only create a big government.  But the economy will become centralised and government-dependent once again.  Why would anyone need to worry about private sector investment and work if big brother has a fund of 1 billion euros to spend?  The government will use up all local resources with its budget, so even the impact on inflation needs to be questioned.

Besides, has anyone tried to understand what is the impact on Maltese society, the environment, the financial system, and future economic sustainability if Muscat really has in mind to cram the development of 15 years into 5 years?  What will follow after those 15 years - will it be 15 years of big depression?

I&#039;m not saying I believe Muscat and what he says, but someone should start seeing beyond what he says.]]></description>

It takes time to recognise the deviousness of the process.

In this environment, we are fortunate to have Daphne bring it all to the fore.

In environments where one has to figure it out on one&#039;s own or in twos, the mentality has to verge on the paranoid to fully understand the twists and turns of this psychopathy.

Sometimes it can take over ten years to fully comprehend when one is isolated and the picture and overview is not covered by the media, but on the contrary, deflected by public image.

Here we are perversely fortunate to be on a fast track.]]></description>
