Interesting and highly plausible, otherwise there’s no reason why he wouldn’t have accepted to make the scheme more orthodox.

Viviane Reding has never heard Joseph Muscat’s story about St. Aloysius, his under-vest and detention. It says it all about his character, really.

And the fact that he remembers that episode specifically and so vividly shows that he himself regards it as one of his moments of glory.

Here’s a link to the story.

This is what I am thinking, too. They will be using funds from the Eur 1 billion of EU funds and claim that they are from the IIP.

He promised to resign if the tariffs are not reduced and will do everything to stay at Castille, at the cost of severely damaging the country’s reputation.

This never happened to me on previous visits to Norway. Frustrating to be treated differently now.

Of course it has been.

The climate of trust in the Government and Police is precisely one that would induce non-other than a mute reaction for its periodic feel-good reports. Otherwise known as attention detractors when a hot issue is busy eating away at our democracy.

A Prime Minister, off his rockers, and a Police force in his pocket.

All prime positions hand-picked primarily for allegiance to the same Prime Minister, many active agents in place before the elections already working away to his agenda.

72% of us blew the whistle on last week’s issue alone. There is no mandate from the Maltese for Sale of Citizenship issue. Joseph Muscat carried on regardless.

89% of the EU parliament blew the whistle. Joseph Muscat proceeded to face his supporters with lies.

No. The climate is not conducive for proper whistleblowing.
Joseph Muscat’s actions have gone beyond the competence, and perhaps jurisdiction, of those legal firms in Malta, and of those citizens, who should be protected by that act.

It was always intended to be a sham barrier to Joseph Muscat’s, and his agents’, actions.

The agents too have sought, as just one of the means, to close off potential threats by offering “jobs to family.”

Such a report would be best accompanied by an international survey of repute, on the upholding of democratic practices, spoken and unspoken, by Government in Malta.

I’d like to refer to Ciccio’s comment a while back, and to Daphne’s blog under which it falls:

Proposal number 1, Chapter 18, Joseph’s Rowtmepp:
“Innehhu l-ligi tal-preskrizzjoni ghall-politici dwar reati relatati mil-korruzzjoni.”

So there, Labour’s most important “proposta” in their fight against the crime of corruption would result in the breach of human rights, and hence the constitution.

And this by the party that proposes to reform the constitution.

I just hope that the Labour regime is not using Judge Giovanni Bonello to do a backtracking on its proposal. They have a tendency to manipulate others – it’s part of their philosophy of “the end justifies the means.” And they also have a history of “U-turns” for wrong policy.

Under the following posting, to Jo M’s and Evarist Saliba / ‘s comments respectively:

Jo M:
“And then we want a Whistleblower Act. As if it will make any difference. Worse, it might even be used to frame other innocent people by getting liars and vindictive persons to ‘whistleblow’ on them in return for a reward, while being protected.”

Evarist Saliba /:
“What chance on earth is there that a whistle-blower will dare to open his mouth if this means that the administration will be put in a bad light?”

The Whistleblower Act: Another move by Joseph Muscat to protect his scam, of which the result in the current context, political climate and webbed environment of his hand-picked agents is a major farce. An insult couched in disdain.

He is acting like the schoolyard bully who has been called into the headmaster’s office after his latest act of bullying. The bully normally turns around proclaiming that he is not scared while he further insults and threatens those around him.

As is typical with schoolyard bullies, it takes a woman to scare the shits out of him.

In his case, he can’t run, but he can’t hide.
