Meanwhile, outside the bubble and just across the water, heavily armed men have stormed the Libyan parliament
It would reassure us that the government does not only think in terms of striking deals and doing business, but is also aware of its obligations of statesmanship, if the prime minister were to say something sensible and concerned about events on our doorstep.
Reuters reports that heavily armed gunmen stormed into Libya’s parliament yesterday after attacking it with anti-aircraft weapons and rocket-propelled grenades. Heavy smoke billowed out of the building, and gunmen closed the streets leading to the building. Two members of parliament were kidnapped.
The anarchy in our former blood-brother state is near-absolute, but here in Malta, it is now as though Libya never existed.
A spokesman for retired Libyan general Khalifa Haftar has claimed that his forces, which go by the self-declared name of the Libyan National Army, carried out the assault as part of his campaign against Islamist militants.

You’re missing the Whys and the Wherefores, Reuters.
You have all been forewarned that ousting Gaddafi will lead to an Islamist takeover and chaos. The LNA is the opposition in action in line with the new norm in Libya.
I bet you all think that this was not foreseen by the West. But subversion and destabilisation are the prime aims of the West. It’s the real ‘axis of evil’. Only hoodwinked Lilliputians fail to see this. The smarter Lilliputians think Western politicians make too many ‘errors of judgement’. Yet politicians are all puppets in the hands of the globalists who control the West. They know very well what they’re doing.

Muscat is very worried about the situation in Libya. He took time out of his busy schedule to tweet about it.

Thank goodness for that, Joseph. With you bearing all our concerns at the deteriorating situation in Libya, we can all sleep soundly tonight. But we should all sleep that much better if we were to know where PL government stands in all this.
Last year, after being elected, Prime Minister Joseph Muscat in the presence of the then Libyan Prime Minister stated in a joint press conference, with the usual pomposity,that agreement for the purchase of Libyan oil to Malta at a preferential price will be signed in the near future. A man of vision, surely not Joseph Muscat.
And in other news, here’s what is going on with our new best friends.
