Muscat might well have just honoured somebody who bankrolls ISIS

Deutsche Welle’s English-language news portal is running a report on where ISIS, now the world’s richest terrorist organisation, gets its money. Most of the funding is suspected to come directly from Saudi Arabia – either the Saudi government itself (such as it is) or rich Saudis. Most members of ISIS are Saudi citizens.

We were never told what this prince did to Malta to earn a Ġieħ ir-Repubblika.
Gahan, it’s for what he’ll do with his billions.
With major interests worth billions in Western economies (Citigroup, Apple, Twitter, Newscorp etc), I doubt Mr. Al Waleed bin Talal would have any intetest disrupting his investments by way of terrorism.
When you are worth billions and you want to finance doggy companies (terrorists), you use legit companies to cover your wrong doings.
You have to analyze people like this Saudi prince. Born and raised in extravagance, devoid of any compassion for others, taught that money can buy men and women and make everyone dance before them. They never had to work. They are bored with a life lacking any meaning and so, as a distraction, they finance terrorism.
Having said that, it doesn’t mean that owners of legit companies finance dodgy companies.
I would say that owners of legit companies without connections to dodgy companies are law abiding “normal” citizens .
With major interests like Twitter, it is Twitter that is fully transparent, not Joseph Muscat’s Government.
Information is a asset that offers a better handle on the time element.
He who is better informed has a stronger hand.
It’s much more complicated than that, David. The West, particularly the US, has been in collusion with these tyrannies for decades.
Why? Because of the oil?
No. I could start listing an array of facts, but if you don’t switch the paradigm you will never understand it and you’ll call it ‘conspiracy theory’.
The point is, there are higher powers that control the major governments towards a global political agenda. If you fail to get this you will not grasp the intricacies at play on a global level and will never be able to conceptualise how it all plays out.
Just keep in mind that war is not only big business, it is also a way to divide and conquer, as well as a mechanism to keep populations under control through fear of the enemy.
Maybe we just bought an insurance against ISIS attacks.
Is that why Malta is not on the Anti-ISIS official list?
Malta has been honouring ISIS financiers for rather more than 21 months. Muscat just does it more brazenly, and adds an unneeded medal.
Smartcity is owned by the United Arab Emirates, which has been bankrolling hardline Sunni groups, along with Qatar (another favourite of the “servizzi finanzjarji” groupies), for the best part of a decade.
But Malta has never had a foreign policy. We make policy on the hoof, and it starts and ends with flus fil-kaxxa ta’ Malta.
I don’t expect a change in governing party to change any of this.
Sheik Mohammed’s (of Dubai) private number for the family is/ was a UK mobile number almost chock a block with 7s.
How could Smartcity have worked under the Nationalist Party if UAE and Saudi, that backed Sheik Mohammed through his crisis, have both been investing in Labour over the past 15 years.
The Irish Freemason connection links up with the Al Nahayan section.
Go on. This gets interesting. Especially the Freemasonry connection.
ISIS is going to be issuing its own currency – gold coins included. Seems they have a problem with finding a mint.
Don’t forget Qatar, now Malta has an ambassador here.
