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 [...]
When Daphne Caruana Galizia a year ago and further back wrote about a bank in Malta set up to service the Azerbaijan regime, she was accused of lying. When she reported how its clients included the children of Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan, Labour told her she was inventing things. When she reported how the energy [...]
Luciano Busuttil, not famous for his intellectual depth and sharp wit, sums up Labour's political philosophy in a precis so elegant you could put a top hat on it and take it to the opera. We have money. Doesn't matter how we got it. Doesn't matter if it's not sustainable. Doesn't matter if we exploited [...]
Read this detailed article that traces Joseph Muscat's story since his election as prime minister in 2013, seen as a darling of the European Socialists, and his downfall since a fateful meeting he had very early on with Christian Kaelin and Ali Sadr. There was a wedding he flew to in 2015. The groom is [...]
By Andrew Borg-Cardona: Dwardu l-Profs wrote a big letter to the FT, so I thought I’d add some scurrilous comments in the form of his inner thoughts while writing. My bits are in italics. The Editor The Financial Times You (and many many others) have devoted a significant amount of (really really negative but totally [...]
Matthew and Paul Caruana Galizia were guests of Christiane Amanpour on her CNN show yesterday.
The Council of Europe has appointed a rapporteur to investigate Malta’s handling of the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia. This is only the third ever similar initiative of the Council of Europe. The only other two precedents both concerned Russia when rapporteurs were appointed to investigate the assassinations of Sergei Magnitsky and Boris Nemtsov. The [...]

It looks like Chris Cardona may unilaterally withdraw the libels suits he had filed against Daphne Caruana Galizia for reporting he was in a brothel in Germany 14 months ago during an official trip there. Libel suits are almost never unilaterally withdrawn. They are sometimes settled out of court when the parties agree on a [...]
