UPDATED WITH WHITE PAPER/First Maltese citizenship, now Maltese organs: watch out, Joseph Muscat is after your kidneys

Joseph Muscat and his band of brigands want your kidneys for their friends, probably in exchange for a small donation to the Labour Party.

You can read the white paper here: Organ Donation-White paper for consultation (2)

The more I look at the situation, the more it becomes obvious to me that at some point before the general election, when he was working on his roadmap, Joseph Muscat – with the aid of a couple of ‘leteril tinkers’ – sat down and worked out what he could sell that is otherwise, in his way of thinking, unlimited and freely available to him.

And the answer was: Maltese citizenship and Maltese organs. He has to pay for neither of those things, the supply is unlimited in the first case and fairly constant in the second, and it’s money for nothing.

Of course, neither of those were in the electoral programme but only in the secret roadmap, and yet here we are today, with his government selling Maltese passports like there’s no tomorrow, while a parliamentary committee discusses a white paper on organ donation, which makes the harvesting of organs from dead Maltese people the default position rather than an opt-in choice.

Joseph Muscat and his band of brigands can’t bear to see all those hearts, eyes, kidneys and corneas going into coffins when they could be sold for hard cash. Money down the drain, so to speak, and they’re dying to sell them on.

The next thing we know, Sadeen Rehabilitation Services (Malta) Ltd – which was registered at the same time and with the same structure and single shareholder as Sadeen Education Investment Ltd – will be setting up an organ transplant clinic as part of its ‘university campus’ at Zonqor Point.

I don’t believe in coincidences, not with this bunch of sleazy operators. It isn’t a coincidence that the government suddenly dreamed up a white paper on organ donation, and that it is for some reason a pressing priority right about now.

So now our government, bless it, wants to transact Maltese organs – ghax inkella helu u meta nistghu naghmluhom flus – and something tells me that one Jordanian moneybags is going to be getting a whole lot more than a tract of coastal land.

I would imagine that many of you right now are asking yourselves whether you could have read this right, missed something or whether I am exaggerating or perhaps losing my mind. None of those things. It’s perfectly true that the government is proposing to enact legislation that gives it the right to take your organs – the lot of them, including your eyes and everything else – when you die.

This is unless you opt OUT by using formal documentation. The way things are now, you have to opt IN.

I think the Opposition, instead of being polite about this white paper, should kick up a hellish stink.

This comment struck me on one of the internet comments boards this morning: “What a sad fate for Malta and its people – slain at the altar of money.”

Radix malorum cupiditas est – Joseph Muscat and John Dalli understand each other because they have exactly the same attitude towards ‘flus’. It is an end in itself. Everything that can be turned into money is turned into money. It is a sickness, the fruit of centuries of brutal deprivation. And it is not a pretty sight.

If Joseph Muscat wants to sell people’s kidneys, he should start by selling his own, his wife’s and his children’s, and leave the rest of us alone.

And you know what – he probably will, if somebody offers him the right price.
