					<description><![CDATA[Ms White, if as you say there was criminality that is why perhaps we had a change of government. But that wasn&#039;t the reason. MLP started with corrupting individuals well before 2008.

Muscat tricked a nation and went to a level of corruption and criminality never heard of in this country. If there was corruption before it was wrong, but now we have reached an alarming level which will hit us in the gut very soon.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[How Azerbaijan uses no-profit organizations to influence politics in other countries:

&#039;&#039;When a private entity finances a US Congressional trip, the real donors can be obscured by funneling funds through a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. After SOCAR provided $750,000 to AFAZ, the non-profit paid for the trip via a network of secondary non-profits—all of whom made “willful and intentional misrepresentations” to the Ethics Committee, according to the OCE. The OCE’s report, initially spurred by a Houston Chronicle 2014 investigation, details dozens of maneuvers taken to obscure the source of funding.&#039;&#039;

					<description><![CDATA[Is this Aliyev a relation to the President or is the surname a coincidence?

One wonders if they will discuss the employees were not paid for their work but at the same time are not allowed to seek other employment, a story involving Muscat and his gang&#039;s guest, Muscat&#039;s friend, the corrupt dictator of Azerbaijan and his two daughters, one of which at least was wooed by Michelle Muscat on the public dime.

In this case  Keith Schembri, Konrad Mizzi and Joseph Muscat need not have met Azerbaijan’s Minister for Energy to be corrupted. They were already deeply mired in corruption. Perhaps he is coming to divide the spoils from some oil deal?]]></description>
