The reports in the international media are starting to irk the prime minister's office. Keith Schembri's assistant, MP Alex Muscat, writing today in The Malta Independent, branded international press reports "biased" and "distorted". Because of course it is reasonable to expect that when a journalist is incinerated in a bomb, the press take a "balanced" [...]

Tony Zarb, who called women protesting whores and traitors, is on Konrad Mizzi’s payroll

Tony Zarb is not a retired behemoth of the socialist movement who farted from the wrong end in his dotage calling a 100 women with homemade placards and matching T-shirts whores, traitors and seditionists. He's a government official, paid by the state as a consultant of Konrad Mizzi, the only government Minister in the European [...]

TONY ZARB ON PROTESTING WOMEN: Whores!

Here's Tony Zarb this evening, apparently overwhelmed by the sight of a hundred women protesting against his great leader. "Good evening Friends. These went to the wrong place. Instead of Castille they meant to go to Strait Street and travel back to the 1960s. They would have gone to the right place because they have [...]

Here is Matthew Carbone, number two in the communications office of the government of Malta. He's the coconut's deputy so I suppose that makes him the walnut. He's not there to show his grief at the brutal assassination of a journalist. He's not there to speak to protesters on behalf of government about its commitment [...]

The following is a transcript of the statement by the women protesting in Castille now. #occupyjustice statement We are an ever-increasing non-partisan group of women from all walks of life. We are concerned for our future and that of our children. This is not the Malta we recognise, not the Malta we want to leave [...]

Ranier Fsadni on justified anger

By
2017-10-26T17:01:50+02:00Thu, 26th Oct '17, 17:01|

Read this piece by Ranier Fsadni in this morning's The Times. He throws a light on the wide gap between institutions that are failing us and an angry, disenchanted, disenfranchised portion of the population facing the ironic ire of the Labour regime reprimanding us for feeling the most natural reaction of all: anger.

The assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia should not be investigated by Minister Justyne Caruana's husband. This is not just the unacceptably close political association. Nor even the revolting incest across institutions that should be independent of each other. It is that we cannot realistically hope all leads are investigated with detachment while he is running [...]

Putting on a brave face

The prime minister and the government are doing everything they can to project an image of business as usual. To their loyal local audience that’s not too much of a challenge. Their puppet masters got them to deny their own humanity and continue the hate campaign against Daphne Caruana Galizia exactly where it had left [...]

Here are the stories Pilatus Bank does not want you to read

The Times and Malta Today acknowledged removing from or editing a number of old reports on their on-line archive relating to Pilatus Bank. They did not do so after seeing any evidence that persuaded them they were mistaken the first time round. They did so because they were threatened with ruinous law-suits (SLAPPs as they [...]

This is making the rounds: We are an ever-increasing non-partisan group of women from all walks of life. We are concerned for our future and that of our children. This is not the Malta we recognise, not the Malta we want to leave behind. Following the horrendous assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia, many are now [...]

It is no secret that six weeks into his role as PN chief, Adrian Delia has not managed to align his parliamentary group behind him. It is unclear from the outside what the extent of the resistance is but it feels considerable. It did not start out well for Adrian Delia. But the death of [...]

As Pilatus Bank embarks this week on another one of its charm offensives, read here Godfrey Leone Ganado's summing up of the facts: The Financial Intelligence Analysis Unit carried out an on-site examination between 15 March and 22 March 2016 to primarily focus on the measures in place within the Bank to deal with clients who [...]

NORMAN VELLA: PBS killed Daphne all over again

I wanted to write about this at length but Norman Vella posted on Newsbook and I couldn't have said it better. Saying we're back to the 1980s is a bit of a cliche' perhaps. Episodes like this, when the national broadcaster headed by Labour stooge Reno Bugeja, ignores the European Parliament's earth-moving reprimand and looks [...]

This too is what makes us a Mafia state. This utter depletion of a sense of propriety. This complete ambivalence to the duty of the political class and the heads of our institutions to lead the people in times of national crisis. This callous pretense of business as usual when the grief is still so [...]

The openings for the Mafia

Rosy Bindi's anti-mafia commission from the Italian parliament, even without the rather keen Senator Mario Michele Giarruso in tow, confirmed what we all knew: Malta is deeply exposed to the laundering of moneys by Italian mafia syndicates. It's not just Italians of course but from the Italian parliamentarians' point of view that's what matters most. [...]
