It clearly hasn’t sunk in yet that the Prime Minister and Brian Tonna are in league with Konrad Mizzi and Keith Schembri

This survey report in The Malta Independent today is interesting. If Konrad Mizzi and Keith Schembri are kicked out, a greater number of people will vote for the Labour Party, sufficient for Muscat to comfortably win a general election if it were called at that moment.

It is a matter for despair how even supposedly clever and educated people lack the ability to assess situations and have insight into them in this benighted society, let alone those who are bereft of such privileges and advantages. It clearly has not sunk in yet that the Prime Minister is in league with his two henchmen and that it would not have been possible for them to do what they are doing without his say-so and complicity. Nor has it sunk in that there is a fourth operator in all this and that he has a desk in the Office of the Prime Minister: Brian Tonna.

These are the four operators in this organised ring: Brian Tonna, Keith Schembri, Konrad Mizzi and Joseph Muscat. Not only can’t Muscat kick Mizzi and Schembri out because they’re all in it together and he can’t stick to his ‘roadmap’ without them, but precisely because he is in league with them, if they go and Brian Tonna stay on, the corruption will continue.

Brian Tonna yesterday told Malta Today, which followed up on my revelations, with documents, of his secret company in the British Virgin Islands, which he uses to secretly invoice his own company in Malta for sales of citizenship (from his desk at the Prime Minister’s Office), that he declares to the Inland Revenue Department in Malta all income from his BVI operation, Willerby Trade Inc.

I mean, what a brazen liar. This is a structure set up specifically to hide his income and then he tells the press that he declares it. If he didn’t wish to conceal it, he would simply invoice through BT International, his company in Malta which actually is the registered agent for sales of citizenship. But he has his secretly-owned BVI company invoice his Malta company so that he can pay the money to the BVI company and register that as a tax deductible cost in Malta for Inland Revenue purposes.

People I know personally who voted for Muscat to become prime minister, and who defended him to the hilt and admired him (and went out of their way to yell at and insult me in every possible manner in the process to justify their choices and denigrate mine) are now expressing surprise that Muscat, who they thought “a gentleman” (I mean, really, as though gentlemen come out of households like that) will not do anything about Mizzi and Schembri.

Should I be surprised? No, of course not. I’ll allow good manners to desert me for a moment and say that the lack of intelligence which prevented them from seeing that crook Muscat for what he is, before the general election, now prevents them from seeing that what they are looking at is an organised criminal ring who sought election precisely to run the country as their personal business. Face it, switchers: your precious Muscat is nothing but a crook. It’s hard to admit it, but as a grown-up you have to: you’ve been had, big-time.
