Gaddafi financed Mintoff’s children’s allowance. Azerbaijan and Ethelbert Cooper of Liberia are going to finance Muscrap’s and Konrat’s tariff cuts
In Times of Malta:
Energy Minister Konrad Mizzi is insisting that utility rate cuts for consumers and businesses will not be financed through taxes or higher fuel prices, rebutting claims by the Nationalist Party.
He said Electrogas will be paying €30 million over a 12-month period that will go to finance the lower tariffs for consumers that came into force this year.
Electrogas is primarily Gasol (Ethelbert Cooper of Liberia) and Socar (the kleptocracy of Azerbaijan), besides three sets of Maltese businessmen who guard their pennies so closely that I can’t see them shelling out millions for the sheer thrill of watching a bunch of slumdogs burn cheap electricity on lower tariffs while squatting in their shacks on public land with Joseph’s smart meters.
Does this make financial sense to anybody out there with half a brain? The government gets a hefty tranche of cash – €30 million, to be precise – in exchange for granting a major capital project. And instead of using that capital sum for some much-needed capital investment in something solid and productive, or just plain life-enhancing and PERMANENT, Konrat and his boss Muscrap climb into their sedan-chairs and are hauled about town scattering the entire €30 million from their silken laps to the squabbling masses.

There is never anything new and imaginative and refreshingly exciting with the Labour Party in Malta.
Old and antiquated ideas of their past are still dusted and polished off like Aladdin’s magic lamp in the hope of accessing freebies and other handout-goodies off despotic nations.
Also, who will finance the lower tariffs when the 30 million euros run out?
Is it Labour’s culture to make Malta, always, a stepping stone (or maybe a door-mat) for undemocratic rulers to step in the democratic world?
“Gaddafi financed Mintoff’s children’s allowance. Azerbaijan and Ethelbert Cooper of Liberia are going to finance Muscrap’s and Konrat’s tariff cuts”
The next question is: Who is financing Ethelber Cooper of Liberia?
Ah Gaddafi and Mintoff.
Who says that Ethelbert Cooper and his friends Charles Taylor (convicted war criminal) and Ellen Johnson Sirleaf (now president of resources-rich Liberia) did not seek Gaddafi’s help in the late 1980s to finance the training of guerilla fighters for the National Patriotic Front of Liberia which, according to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Liberia (set up by Johnson-Sirleaf herself), was responsible for 39.2%, or nearly 64,000, of all violations investigated by it?
The financing of the NPFL in the late 1980s by Gaddafi is documented in many parts of the internet.
Mr. Cooper’s name is third in a list of 49 persons about whom the TRC had the following to say:
“The below comprising of the most prominent political leaders and financiers of different warring factions and armed groups, by their conduct, leadership, finances, and support, actions or inactions, are responsible for the commission of gross human rights violations, international humanitarian law violations, international human rights law, war crimes, and egregious domestic law violations. This list is by no means exhaustive but represents the most prominent individuals identified by the TRC worthy of public sanction because of their roles during the years of war and instability in Liberia. The following and all other persons similarly situated shall be subject to public sanctions as herein described above in section 14.2 and are specifically barred from holding public office, elected or appointed, for a period of thirty (30) years as of July 1, 2009.”
So the TRC of Liberia says that Cooper should be barred from public office for 30 years, and our democratic “best in You-RIP” government sells to ‘him’ a 30% stake in an 18-year contract with a 5 year-only-fixed-price for power purchase and gas supply – which share is worth an estimated Eur 1.5 billion in revenues.
There is nothing better than Azerbaijan and Liberia put in the same pot. That can create lots of gas.
It’s a Ponzi Government, shuffling money around without making any until it all caves in.
Is that a Jean-Baptiste Greuze behind him?
Halliehom Defni hi. Mhux huma jafu jekk iridu jaghtuna l-flus?
Dawk ghandhom minn fejn u ghalihom naqra marketeen hux.
Ghax dawn xebghu jaqilghu kummenti fuq pajjizhom, hekk qed jaghmlu xi haga pozittiva.
Be positive! Think positive! Malta qatt ma rrifjutat qamh ecc ecc.
And what’s going to happen after the 30 million euros run out?
