War is big business, yes, but when you own the world&#039;s money-printing presses, then power and control becomes more important than money. Tyrannies need bogeyman enemies to help them keep their populations under control through fear, causing them to accept despotic laws which they would have otherwise rejected.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Our newspapers give prominence to this particular honoree as if the government has made some great achievement.

And our progressive government gives the honour to........a Saudi Prince.

&#039;&#039;Will Saudi Arabia Execute Guest Workers for &#039;Witchcraft&#039;?
Indonesian guest workers are on trial in Saudi Arabia for “witchcraft.” But the charges are cover for cultural misunderstandings, sexual assaults, and withheld wages.&#039;&#039;

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/03/29/indonesia-workers-in-saudi-arabia-are-on-trial-for-witchcraft-some-facing-the-death-penalty.html

How many of those hailing this move and hoping that they might get a crumb out of this know that in Saudi Arabia, instead of abolishing witch hunts, they’ve created a government-run Anti-Witchcraft Unit specifically designed to hunt and prosecute suspected witches.

So true that even Mintoff himself admitted it. Remember him saying with a sort of regret: &quot;If only I had the ability to create work as I have to get money&quot;. 

He said this publicly soon after he had obtained another donation in his begging-bowl on some occasion or other.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Selling passports to shady millionaires and to members of the North Korean KGB, selling our energy grid control to the Chinese Communists and Azeri dictatorship and now handing over national honours to corrupt billionaires for a little bit of their cash. 

Why is it that Labour only does business with regimes that are known for the oppression of their own people, for their unbridled corruption and where there is an enormous gap between the rich few and the masses of their poor? 

That is why the Labour leadership always fought against the EU membership. At the time they saw it as a deviation and a possible obstacle to forming alliances with the shit of the earth.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Did Malta&#039;s President Marie Louise Coleiro  discuss the concept of religious police with the &#039;Prince&#039; and find herself in good company perhaps discussin cover-ups.

&#039;&#039;Saudi Arabia&#039;s &#039;religious police&#039; assault a Muslim British man and wife in Riyadh because the couple reportedly used a women-only cashier line at a supermarket in Riyadh.&#039;&#039;

The incident became public because a video was put online (does this ring a bell).

The four members of the religious police, called Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice (CPVP), instead of being kicked out of the CPVP were transfered to administrative jobs outside Riyadh. According to Albawaba the one who jumped on the Briton is the unit&#039;s chief.

					<description><![CDATA[It is becoming increasingly evident that contrary to their predecessors, the only way this sorry excuse for an administration can continue financing their egos is by trying to exort freebies from this kind of people,

They know perfectly well that they cannot extort freebies from the US or Canada because both are democracies and their administrations do not own the country and thus cannot dish out freebies out of the people&#039;s money.

On the contrary the rulers of Saudi Arabia, Azerbaijan and China can give freebies to the MLP because they own the country and its people. The problem is that they haven&#039;t yet realized that these people never give freebies for nothing.

This country has gone back to the 80s big time, and the only way to reverse this path is for the people to vote out these amateurs. Nevertheless we would still be five years behind our competitors because the years between 2013 and 2018 would be lost years for our country.]]></description>
