Resignations from directorships at Pilatus Bank have started. The 'competent person' running the bank filed the resignation of Director Joseph Jerry Liow-Yune-Loy with the MFSA and he's out. This may or may not be a missed opportunity to discuss with Mr Liow-Yune-Loy when he found out the owner of the bank he was director of [...]
Malta is not the only European Capital of Culture in 2018. The other city is Leeuwarden in the Netherlands. Its Director Tjeerd van Bekkum stated in an interview with the largest Dutch news organisation NOS that his committee no longer sends official representatives to Malta. The Frisian foundation LF2018 (the equivalent of V18) has suspend the cooperation with its [...]
The Police have not reacted to the question on whether the alleged assassins hired to kill Daphne Caruana Galizia were in their opinion tipped off prior to their arrest. They should. The Police’s job does not stop at the arrest of someone they suspect of committing a crime. Nabbing the criminal is the relatively easy [...]

I’ve had it up to here hearing people say they don’t mind if ministers are corrupt if their good work makes everyone that little bit richer. Never mind choosing between right or wrong, that these people would not distinguish if right floated towards them on the backs of doves until wrong stabs it in the [...]
For justice and truth.

The Swedish National Press Club has awarded its 2018 Freedom of Speech award in memory of Anna Politkovskaya to Daphne Caruana Galizia “for independent journalism with courage and integrity in times when investigative journalism is under hard pressure”. The award in memory of Anna Politkovskaya is given to a journalist who in his or her [...]
Tuesday’s Labour Party mass meeting will be massive, maybe one of the largest political gatherings ever. The crowd is pumped up and tensions have not been so high in years, decades even. The Labour Party is pushing it as a call to arms. It’s a do or die moment to support the great leader in [...]
By Lizzie Eldrige. From her long series of Tales from the Land of Serenity. All this hullabaloo in the Land of Serenity when we are simply and quietly trying to go about our business as usual. For such a small and peaceful little haven of tranquility that simply likes to keep itself to itself as [...]
This is a statement issued this morning by #occupyjustice and Awturi. Spread the word. A CALL FOR JUSTICE AND TRUTH #occupyjustice and L-Awturi are gravely concerned about recent developments. Firstly, it is very clear now that Minister Konrad Mizzi lied to the Maltese and European Parliaments, and that both he and the Prime [...]
Visit www.buttardi.com. Then come back here. Looks like Michelle Muscat's jewelry business has ridden quietly into the sunset. And what a time to do so. Daphne Caruana Galizia had revealed how Ali Sadr had ordered his staff at Pilatus Bank to set up an account in his sister's name and then quickly transfer money to [...]
There’s a question that needs to be asked. Is it true the Degiorgio brothers knew ahead of their arrest that they were about to be picked up? The question arises from the suspicion the arresting officer had that December morning. “You knew we were coming. Who told you we were coming?” They would not have [...]
Journalists are only as good as their sources. The Daphne Project has already gone farther than anyone has in revealing issues that anywhere civilised would have brought about dismissals, resignations and major, major changes. The 17 Black revelations alone should be unsurvivable. Having lied to Parliaments, lied to the media, lied to the public; having [...]
We are faced with some seriously disturbing questions. Read from a recent edition of La Repubblica (my translation): “At that interrogation of the 5th December another truth emerged that remained hidden for the last 6 months covered by embarrassed circumspection. George Degiorgio was made to listen to the phone-calls from his phone from that morning [...]
If Panama is discovered, and then Dubai, and then the Bahamas, and then the pirate bank in Ta' Xbiex, they could always hide it in the stars. Joseph Muscat, Keith Schembri and Konrad Mizzi have stars named for them now somewhere in the stars and some witty activists even got them certificates. They can hang [...]
The exact quote is "Labour cannot afford to revert to tactics, style and people which in the past have made it one of the most morally, physically and ideologically corrupt parties which our country ever had". This bout of uncharacteristic sincerity was written on the 25th September 1998 and Joseph Muscat was going through a [...]
15:41 Adds reference to The Malta Independent report that Pilatus Bank UK has been shut down. Pilatus Bank is being wound down. The news was given by none other than Ali Sadr himself through his lawyers in court papers filed in the federal court of New York were the Iranian multi-passport holder indicted for bank [...]
By Charles Schembri: Irrespective of one’s opinions facts are facts. Fact is truth; and yet fact is subject to one’s interpretation of circumstances. Once again I would go back on the essence of Truth (or Un-Truth). It is so simple to understand. Heidegger would state that the proposal “this is genuine gold” is truth; but [...]
