The root of our Prime Minister's amorality

You have to read the report of Joseph Muscat's speech in London where he launched the government's citizenship-for-sale scheme for non-EU nationals (before the law is even approved by Parliament, arrogance anyone?). There are two points in his speech which caught my attention:


This relationship is a collective one. It means being able to rely on each other in difficult times and being there to celebrate the good times together. It means making individual sacrifices for the greater good, and knowing that no matter what happens there is a safety net – Maltese society that will always help you get back on your feet.

What is our Prime Minister intending here? How is Malta going to provide a safety net to those who buy Maltese passports? Are the Maltese people, and our national coffers, to act as guarantors should the millionaire go bust or his business get into trouble? This needs to be further explained, because it heavily stinks.

The second point:


The Government’s citizenship programme is aimed at attracting talent to Malta, Prime Minister Joseph Muscat said today.

Speaking in London at The Malta Individual Investor Programme, the Prime Minister said the Government’s focus was on the attraction of extremely highly talented and networked people from around the world by offering them the possibility of sharing the Maltese and European journey.


Here the root of our Prime Minister's amorality is made clear: for him, talented and merited people are networked people with money. For our Prime Minister - material wealth and money makes you a talented person.


And this is precisely the root of this government's amoral behaviour. This is why our Prime Minister and his wife saw nothing wrong in befriending and conspiring with millionaire corrupt fraudster Shiv Nair. This is why the Prime Minister sees nothing wrong with leasing his own car to government. This is why the Prime Minister sees nothing wrong in employing his own wife and other Minister's wives. This is why the Prime Minister sees nothing wrong in employing MPs themselves as consultants. This is why the Prime Minister sees nothing wrong with members of Cabinet retaining their private practice. This is why the Prime Minister sees nothing wrong in Ministers lying in their declaration of assets.

For our Prime Minister, these are just ways in which his MPs are making more money, and by making more money, he believes they are becoming more talented and merited.

That's why this government's behaviour is doing more damage to our moral fibre and social fabric than any influx of immigrants can ever do.


But the real scam behind this scheme is that we all know that serious investors won't buy a Maltese passport. Why would they when they can invest for a return on their money, making a profit and at the same time acquiring citizenship by naturalization in other EU countries?

The rich and networked people who would want to buy an EU passport for cash without having their names known, are in their majority criminals, money-launderers and terrorist-cell leaders. And Malta is advertising to be their back-door to Europe and to visa-free travel to the USA.

Shame on you Mr Prime Minister. No one has ever slandered our reputation as much as you.

Shema Yisrael, the cries of the Palestinian people

You live a peaceful life in a modest home. You've never bothered anyone and you've never caused trouble. Out of the blues, a group of people claim that they should live in your house. Why? Because they have been persecuted in a war, and they claim that some 5,000 years ago, their God had told them your home was their promised land. Somehow, the whole community agrees with their wishes, and asks you to grant them your spare-bedroom. You oblige. After a few months, they take the whole top-floor. In a few year's time, they take over your kitchen. After a few more years, they own your house and keep you and your family locked in the bathroom. They don't even allow you to get out, while they strip-search you the few times they do. Even if it's a medical emergency. Sometimes not even medical personnel and ambulances are allowed to see to your needs while your children die in your hands. Desperation starts hitting you. Life seems to offer no hopes. In moments

The Great Energy Proposal

I followed the example of a facebook comment uploaded on another blog to work out the savings my household will make with Labour's energy proposals. Our bill for of €717.80 for 7 months is divided into: An electricity service charge of €36.86 Electricity consumption of €404.83 A water service charge of €33.46 Water consumption of €242.65 Through the new tariff scheme, reducing the electricity consumption bill by 25% and the water consumption bill by 5%, our bill will read: An electricity service charge of €36.86 Electricity consumption of €303.62 A water service charge of €33.46 Water consumption of €230.52 A total of €604.46 for the same 7 months. A reduction of €16.20 a month. But this reduction comes at what price? This grand plan, the one we have been expecting for all these years, will materialize  if  we find a private investor ready to fork out €500 million in capital investment,  if  we reach a 10-year fixed price agreement,  if we manage to b

Why I am dropping out of the Anti-ACTA protest

Like many avid internet users, I have followed with interest the debate about ACTA (Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement). After reading numerous articles, watched sensational videos, and discussed ad nauseam with friends, I have realized that what I have come across is a campaign hi-jacked by lies, myths and misconceptions as to rival Malta's misinformed divorce referendum campaign. I have to say that the videos on Youtube   got me worried. I quickly signed the petition, joined the Anti-ACTA groups, and prepared myself for a full-blown fight against the big-governments who want to intrude on our privacy and freedom of expression. Like our MEP Edward Scicluna invited us to do in the University debate last Wednesday, I did not try to understand the details of ACTA but rather saw who the players behind it were. But as usual, my logical instincts took over, and his call to not try to understand ACTA actually pushed me to read the text. And here's what I now know: ACTA is
