One more reason, if any more are required, for dismissing the poor chap as absolutely not fit for the responsibilities thrust upon him.

One more reason, if any more are required, for retaining little joey as a cunning manipulator and schemer.

I couldn’t take what I considered his defiant attitude to shirk off every technical argument.

It makes more sense now, no-one with a minimum of competence and knowledge of these complex systems would dare do the same. Call it professional distortion.

Scary actually.

He’s not newly single. At least that’s what the DOI told us.

No expert, but whoever said Asperger’s syndrome may be right; no capability to objectively review detail for its function and keep in mind the bigger picture.

No hierarchy of meaning or relevance of same to each other.

Those bottles of water neatly laid out on the cabinet in the pic with the Chinese ambassador, pen and paper everywhere, even for a chat, it’s not all there.

[Daphne – I’m the one who is convinced Konrad Mizzi has Asperger’s Syndrome. All the signs are there. It also accounts for what comes across to the public as ‘simple benign innocence’. Because it’s true: people like that are incapable of guile and believe everything they say, which are why they are often deployed as tools by the cunning.]

As the rest of the plant moves elsewhere. It’s a fact that the EU intends to reduce its reliance on third parties for its energy.

We may become the perfect case study why this has to be pursued.

Well spotted.

If that’s the case Salvu, we’re back to the drawing board.

Regasifiers are very closely matched to the plants consuming the gas. If, as you rightly suspect, the consortium’s not one to rely on for deadlines, regasification sizing is compromised.

And when that is the case, his demand for gas will diminish further, resulting in ridiculous capital costs to offset, not to mention the price of procurement at smaller detail.

But that that could also be why he’s still insisting on the diesel, option.

Bit of a chicken and egg.

Seconded. Big Time.

That’s how I understood it too. These fabricators of lies are now in a fix. They have painted themselves into many corners, a situation that the Chinese have opportunistically jumped upon and who now have their hands firmly squeezing on Muscat’s and Konrad’s cojones. But at the end of it all it is us, the Maltese citizen, our children and their children who are and will be the victims for a long time.

The consequences of this MLP-PL stay in power will continue reverberating for decades after power is taken away from them, be it tomorrow or, as they are planning now, decades from now. The longer it takes to de-power these pirates the less it will take for us to repair the damage done. (We were still repairing Mintoff’s damage when Mintoff’s heirs returned to power after 25 years in opposition, while trying to keep on doing damage to the country from that position in side our parliament)

One case in point is that Malta has now lost its international standing especially in the financial sector. No serious foreign investor will consider Malta for investing his hard earned millions following the IIP designed for millionaires citizens of corrupt dictatorial countries. In fact we have not seen any significant employment-creating investment for the past 20 months, and counting. This is further compounded by the recent corruption, attempts of frame-ups and cover-ups by the government top brass. No sane investor would want to touch Malta with a 100 km pole.

Muscat had once declared that the economy moves ahead without the need of the government’s input. (L-ekonomija timxi wahedha) This was a dirty boyish jibe at Prime Minister Gonzi for having worked very hard to keep our national economy afloat during the world’s worst global financial crisis this side of 1923. But it was also meant to hoodwink the voters into believing that a government would not need some genius to manage the economy (because able economists do not exist in the MLP camp, let alone a genius).

The best ‘economist’ the MLP ever had was Mintoff himself because it was Mintoff that controlled Malta’s economy besides everything else. Their next best is Tarcisio Mifsud’s brother Alfred who was recently in the news for the wrong economic reasons:

Malta is now back in the hands of crooks, liars and pimps who have sold themselves to a communist, dictatorial country run by mega-rich corrupt politicians and their cronies.
