					<description><![CDATA[I mean a lot more than that. I mean that Labour&#039;s total steamroller victory was planned far beyond these shores. I mean that Labour has friends and allies you wouldn&#039;t even dream of. 


This isn&#039;t one of those stories that will surface after a couple of years. There&#039;s no one in the Labour Party that knows outside a very restricted circle (half a dozen at most). The rest weren&#039;t even told about it and weren&#039;t even aware that what they were being ordered to do was part of this plan. 


I believe Luciano Busuttil when he says he doesn&#039;t know who Shiv Nair is. He wouldn&#039;t have heard of him before he read the name on this website.


But people in the shadows knew his name and more - people like Yana Mintoff, or people like Joseph Muscat&#039;s office mates from his Super One days.


Of course the Nationalist Party is totally ignorant of this. That is to say, it refuses to believe the facts. Won&#039;t even hear about them.


They say knowledge is power, and a secret is worth money etc. Not in Malta it isn&#039;t. Or I&#039;d be a fucking millionaire.


Cheers. Remember The Master&#039;s dictum: always carry a hidden tape recorder (he&#039;s still thinks in terms of 1970s technology, bless him).]]></description>
