Another precision, Nuri:

I’m not being hypothetical. I’m talking real time personal knowledge and experience about actions that have been put in place well before the elections. As well as actions in Mintoff’s time.

Otherwise, without that to back me, I wouldn’t be saying anything. As it is, I have put myself out on a limb because I know from initially unknowing personal experience with the very same lot, that this behaviour IS not only difficult to pin down but to trace to the roots for the whole picture to be seen.

What you see is the tip of the iceberg:

In order for this tangle to have been put in place, the plans were not – as Joseph Muscat said in his lie – “put together after the elections.”

Each scam and relationship will have a material or “career” benefit lined out for the participants under each pyramid. Every time the plan is thwarted or dented, someone will suffer. You can be sure that those who suffer are not making Joseph Muscat suffer in turn, but eeking out their frustrations – in intangible but real terms, on the “other side.”
The personal and “intimate” nature of his relationship with each in the pyramid, and therefore also the nature of the imbalance of the reward, ensures that the one does not discuss with the other.

Joseph Muscat makes certain of continued undented support by deflecting these frustrations towards those he conveniently calls negative. What the people in his labyrinthine pyramids fail to absorb, is that he not only needs their support, but crucial to his self-centered efforts for personal gain is their continued investment in him. What they do not factor in, is the cost of the intangibles in the investment. And this is what he counts on most of all. This, is the pivot to all of his actions.

Only when the balance of the intangibles produces not one loss but a whole string of consecutive losses, will the pyramid structures around him start crumbling. The intangibles will prove more sensitive than the material tangibles.

That will take time. As yet, the doubting Thomas phase is not mature enough. Until then, scapegoats are strategically placed to further deflect the blame from the centre: his ministers and all those given positions on a plate. For the latter, replacements will be queued up with dagger in hand.

One can only try to open their eyes and help them contain their eventual losses. Right now, the carrot beckons.

With each loss, the con-artist will create a new golden illusion as the next goal is cleverly designed to contain the losses of the previous “investment pyramid.” This will be a renegotiation, or a brand new scam, for the dissatisfied – or in effect cast off – players to hook into once again.

Not just preposterous but psycho in the planning of it all.

In its essence and plotting, it is consciously and deliberately aimed at society’s vices, not virtues.

This is the moment-to-moment of how it unfolds.

He learns from a master of the game.
Nair, together with his circle, is the keeper of the master.

Nuri,

We all know it stinks of corruption.

Labour in Malta stinks like a diurian and never changes. There are no fine ideals.

Labour and the PL approve of corruption: that’s how they got rich, or somewhere, under Mintoff and this is a sequel.

Switchers who switched because they wanted precisely this state of affairs may have not got to renegotiation stage yet, but they will end up losers. That is the nature of these scams.

The rest of us know it, see it, are disgusted but who do we go to? The police? If you expect any Whistleblower activity from anyone in Government administration: those who might very well want to do something about it won’t. This is Malta and people are all connected. Revenge may or may not be direct. Most likely it will continue to be indirect. People remember how it was in Mintoff’s time. They are scared to speak up and to say anything. Because it won’t go anywhere, because no one else will stick up for them, because people suddenly develop a social allergy for those who are frank and speak their mind, because children get ignored.

Because everybody pinned their hopes on the European Union to deal differently with this scum. The EU is meant to be our safety net from this lot. And whilst the MEPs did their job well, the Commission itself was weak.

Now the European Commissioner for Fair Competition could and should be asked for an opinion, but the sentiment is: Joseph Muscat will play another fast one and we’ll be back to square one. Who at the EU is going to stick his neck out to say that all is not right in the State of Malta? Which Commissioner? With John Dalli around still messing up both playgrounds?

The Whistleblower Act is an act of intimidation.

That’s what it’s like to be on the other side of PL.
They’re not very clever, just very slimy and extremely nasty.

Yes let’s blame Simon Busuttil shall we? (insert major eye roll here)

I think that a this point in time we need to look up the new meaning of ‘due diligence’, don’t you?

I saw that excuse.

1.But still three months have not past for the due diligence to be complete. Perhaps they were fast tracked, but I thought that was not going to exist.
2. Do you know what kind of bonds or stocks are available to be purchased for 150,000 Euros? have they decided?

I just took a look at Identity Malta’s website. IIP.gov.mt

Also a bunch of amazing things here.

1. IT is amazing how they are promoting Henley, instead of the other way around, but that is another story.
2. It is amazing how Henley is the only foreign agent ALLOWED to participate in this whole program, forget the fact that they are running it and keeping all the money from it for six months up to two years.
3. They are advertising on their home page that this IIP is the only approved program in Europe. That is a load of crap. It is the only program, where the European Parliament denounced it and said that it needs to be changed. It also is the only program where the word residency is meaningless, and does not include a physical presence clause, which is what the European Commission is expecting and everybody knows that.

Also, although I have known about the whole Henley deal, it still is amazing to me that nobody has woken up at the government and understood how this deal stinks of corruption.

What Identity Malta should write on it’s home page is that this is the only program run by a foreign company in the interests of a foreign company.

Still just shocks me.

[Daphne – Simon Busuttil? What does he have to do with it – he’s not in charge.]

Could be.

And isn’t it nice to live in a place where your democratically elected government goes behind your back every other day?

Nothing new there, Labour had a secret agreement with North Korea landing us thousands of automatic assault guns, ammunition and riot control trainers thrown in for free.

Still a mystery what we provided in return. Guess.

[Daphne – Anything can be revoked or rescinded that is acquired fraudulently. It is not the citizenship that is the point here, but the fraud.]
