A Ghaddafi mentality – Motto of the Clique

A Ghaddafi mentality – Motto of the Clique

 Austin Gatt might know how to deal with computers but it is different when it comes to dealing with humans.

There is one major feature which distinguishes Austin Gatt : THE POLITICS OF CONFRONTATION and BULLDOZING. First it was Labour which was always wrong, now even memebrs of his party who stand up to him. Basically so, anyone who stands up to him is WRONG and should make way. Only he has a sacrosant right of keeping his position forever!

What Austin Gatt fails to appreciate is that the parliamentary seat does NOT belong to the party but to the member of parliament so much so that JPO resigned from the Nationalist Party and RETAINED his parliamentary seat. So he has absolutely no right to ask what he has asked for today, and it betrays a deep misunderstanding of or disrespect to  our democractic system.

Members of Parliament are not party delegates as Austin Gatt imagines and which suits his ends, but representative of the people elected on  a party ticket.

Political parties are not greater than the country in democracies. In totalitarian states yes they are.

Secondly he fails to distinguish between the office of member of parliament which is ELECTED and the office of minister which is APPOINTED. He is not being asked to resign from parliament but form minister. He doesn’t even have the basic decency to compare like with like.

How ironic or historic that 5+5 are meeting in Malta discussing the Arab Spring. Malta had its own revolts and Spring too this year, and fights for democracy and true representation – government by the People for the People – a fight for liberty, equality and meritocracy. A revolt against persons who have come to think they are above the law

Malta, a small and very beautiful Mediterranean island inhabited by an industrious people, 2012 will be remembered for the fight against the Oligarchy, the fight for democracy, for the revolt against arrogance, authoritarianism and oppression, the fight for true representation.

It seems that Austin Gatt is not realising he is revealing his true colours with every word he speaks, thereby possibly also shedding light on his behaviour in the seventies, eighties and nineties! Now it seems he said that he would resign from cabinet if me and JPO resign from parliament. What a Ghaddafi mentality!

Austin Gatt not only did not resign after bringing this country to its kness by the BWSC highly polluting power station extension and the Arriva public transport reform scandal, and now the Car parks issue, but now is expecting that me and another member of parliament pay for his mistakes, failures and mismanagement by resigning from Parliament, when we had absolutely nothing to do with these issues. What a Ghaddafi mentality!

 Should I resign because I defended the People of Malta from Austin Gatt and Manuel Delia’s incompetence and arrogance in the BWSC and ARRIVA, and now Car park fiascoes???? Should I resign because I am not intimidated and do not fear Austin Gatt???? Should I resign because I refuse to be a slave to the capricious arrogance o0f some?????

I have made it clear a long time ago what is the Motto of this Clique :

they blame you for their mistakes and they steal and take the merit of your good ideas. they do not resign for creating problems, yet they expect credit if and when the same problems are solved.

 They stole my good ideas in justice and home affairs and are now struggling to implement them, whilst Austin Gatt wants me to carry the blame for his failures.

What a Ghaddafi mentality !

    I am sorry to post this on this blog but Times never post my comments because I am hunter.

    >>>>>>>>>>>>

    I am fed up with this Birdlife promotion every day…. I never shot an illegal bird and it is not fair for hunters like me to be stamped with the few irresponsible hunters.

    This is defiantly not fair to promote only illegal dead birds and never give a percentage of how many hunters vs illegal activities. This would be defiantly less then 3% . If the police are there to watch this illegal activities why this is happening. I am against illegal Hunting, but I am proud to say I am a HUNTER.

    This a propaganda using most popular media to insert hate between hunters and non hunters.

    My friends son, 9 year old kid is not talking to his father because he is a hunter. I has been on and off for a year now. My friend is a great DAD but because he is simply a hunter his son decided not to talk to him any more. this poison was injected at school in November 2011.

    Live a let live. We are here in this world to work for our family, raise them well, be true friends to others, eat healthy and after all to have fun. Everybody deserves a Hobby if birdlife is facing a problem with this illegal activities call the police.

    I am not on the media every day with empty injections and report every day that I found about 30 empty injections near my field. We better start focusing on corruption, drugs and robberies. It is becoming more easy to go and visit another country for hunting then my own home country.

    BLM is a perfect example how to suck Funds from the government and EU and use them as they want to. They better tell us how much money they are paying to people working with birdlife Malta. Millions every year believe me……..

    Dr Debono.Gaddafi died and now we have his clone Austin Gaddafi Gatt in short AGG .
    Gonzi is guilty as much as AGG for the piggeries and corruptions AGG did.
    Gonzi had several options not to let AGG do such piggeries.
    1, sack him as a minister .
    2, if Gonzi was bullied by AGG so he was afraid of him ,at least he could have gave him a small ministry the most one there is less property / money in his hand and have a large number of ministers and appointed people like you,JPO and others not only capable but was looking for their future in the PN unlike AGG who was looking for his interest .
    I am sure that people like you would have stopped him from doing such piggeries .
    Therefore Gonzi is responsible more then AGG himself and he must resign .

    FOR DR DEBONO’S KIND ATTENTION;

    One of the most expensive university courses that the Maltese tax payer has to subsidize is the Medicine and Surgery course.

    According to this ;
    http://www.maltastar.com/dart/20121005-200-new-medical-students-90-maltese-110-foreign

    We, Maltese tax payers are paying for the FREE tuition of scores of medical students hailing from the UK. On the other hand, Maltese students have to pay high tuition fees if they wish to avail themselves for a univeristy education in the UK.

    Dr Debono , can you ask the minister concerned how much tax euros the Maltese tax payer is spending at training UK born students FOR FREE? Are they bound to give back x number of years as service in our hospitals after graduating , or is their training being given gratis WITH NO STRINGS ATTACHED?

    Can this country , whose main source of income is the people’s taxes afford to train FOR FREE, students hailing from amongst the richest countries in the EU?

    You see – you say you come from a PL leaning district. I tell you one thing. The people in your district have long understood where the right adn wrong lies. And yes PL has done some mistakes in the past – but they were not premediated consipiracy like PN does.

    PN’s strategy has long been to manipulate the people in such a way to retain power at all costs. Now you are understanding because you are at the other end of the stick. The people from your district understood this some time ago – that is why they continue to say NO to PN.

      I have just read the report in Malta Today about JPO’s reaction to Austin Gatt’s declaration, that he will only resign AFTER you and JPO resign. In this report, JPOn is quoted saying that if Austin Gatt resigns as minister, ” FRanco Debono will be forced to vote for the budget ” !

    Millions of tax payer money have been spent to build a new Oncology unit
    Millions of tax payer money are being used to outsource procedures like cataract operations in the private hospitals and clinic
    Millions more of tax payer money is now going to be spent further in performing orthopaedic operations and other investigations in three private hosptals and clinics
    Millions more of tax payer money are soon to be awarded to Mr Frank Portelli for the use, in future years for his derelict wreck St Philips Hospital to provide more beds.

    AT THIS RATE , THEY MIGHT AS WELL HAVE REFURBISHED OLD ST LUKES, BUILT THE ONCOLOGY UNIT AND OUTSOURCED CERTAIN SERVICES RIGHT AWAY …….AND SAVED THE TAX PAYER THE MILLIONS SPENT IN BUILDING MATER DEI.

    DR DEBONO CAN YOU PLEASE BRING THIS UP IN PARLAIMENT RIGHT AWAY AND DEMAND THAT THE PEOPLE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS BEING SPENT ON THE OUTSOURCING TO PRIVATE HOSPITALS AND CLINICS AND DEMAND FURTHER INFORMATION ON THE DEAL BEING STRUCK WITH MR FRANK PORTELLI?

    WE THE PEOPLE DEMAND TO KNOW.

    IT IS OUR TAXES THAT ARE BEING SQUANDERED WITH NO ACCOUNTABILITY WHATSOEVER FORTHCOMING FROM THE HEALTH MINISTRY.

    The health service is NOT free.

    IT (INCLUDING ITS MISMANAGEMENT) IS BEING SUBSIDIZED BY OUR TAXES .

    Posted at 10:57h, 05 October

    Dear Dr Debono, I am unsure if you will post my comment as you have failed to post my previous comments relative to your proposal to introduce a third party in parliament. All the same I will give you my opinion even if it may not be worth anything to you or your readers.

    First of all, I do not like the way you refer to other people: Austin ghamilna pipi gatt, lawrence dcg gonzi etc. I think this is very immature, childish and definitely not something to read from a criminal lawyer. I am sure you don’t use such lingo in court. Even if your opponents use such words, I do not believe you should stoop to such low levels. Let’s face it, DCG is a blogger while you are a lawyer – there’s a massive distinction there – and one shouldn’t be reading the same writing style from both.

    In your blog entry “Good clue who provoked trouble in the eighties ?” You say “2012 will be remembered for the fight against the Oligarchy, the fight for democracy, for the revolt against arrogance, authoritarianism and oppression, the fight for true representation.” I have a feeling – and correct me if I’m wrong – that it is only you who has taken up this fight. It looks like that it’s only you who is revolting. JPO may also be against this oligarchy but he is neither fighting it nor revolting against it. So the only one who is revolting is you – does a one man revolt be called a revolt? There may be others who are against the clique, but it’s only you who is making his voice heard. Where are the others?

    In the past year – if not the last four – the labour stance has been “sit tight and let pn hang themselves”. As a matter of fact, you have been much more of an opposition to the government then the opposition themselves! Don’t you think that PL is riding piggyback on your motions? Don’t you think that you are being used as ultimately the result of your actions is simply the downfall of PN from govt and ultimately PL coming to govt? Let’s face it, if we had to go to the polls now, today, PL will not go to govt because of their roadmap but because of your motions in parliament and in party.

    Your latest blog entries have become a mudslinging exercises towards a few members of the PN. You have concrete and solid arguments in relation to govt administration and administration of law without all this mudslinging. Don’t you think that all the mudslinging is not helping your cause?

    Austin’s argument “if JPO and FD resign I will resign” does not impress me one bit. It’s a stupid argument in my opinion. But why do you reply to him so vehemently? By using a few words Austin managed to irk and anger you whilst your strong worded motions don’t bother him. Why don’t take his comment in stride and argue back likewise?

    I have asked you before and maybe you reply to me: If you believe that election is the only course of action now, why don’t you simply call yourself an independent not supporting the government?

    I am sure that many share the above views but I would like your reply to the above for my own knowledge and search of … truth?.

    Thanks

      Franco, although I cannot share your views about the PN, I totally agree with you on what you are writing about GonziPN ! I salute you for the courage, intelligence and determination you are showing. You remind me somehow of Dom Mintoff when he was even younger than you. I hope that you take this as a compliment. He was never afraid to speak his mind. And take on much bigger countries and renowned foreign politicians to defend Malta’s interest. What he did at Helsinki when he took on the greatest powers , and got them to accept his conditions, will remain in my mind for ever. I believe that you are made of the same stuff ! This is why I still cannot understand how you chose to militate in the PN – a conservative party which has always depicted itself as The ” Party of the Church”, led by “saintly” people !

      What you wrote about your doubts as to who could have provoked the violence in the past, proves your sincerity. The PN always had a propaganda machine much better than Labour’s. Of course, the PN had The Times and the Church – the two most powerful and influential institutions in our country to back it. This made it much easier to influence voters and paint Labour in the most awful way possible to scare voters. Perhaps you too fell for this influence. I do not blame you because, at times, Labour, and particularly Mintoff, played into the hands of the PN and the priest-politicians who infested the Curia !

      Keep up the good fight. Gonzi will be a nonentity soon. But what you are doing for true democracy, can never be forgotten ! Sahha siehbi !

The PN needs to be in opposition for a long time to cleanse themselves and renew themselves with you as a leader perhaps. There we would have a true PN which is not lost in threats, scaremongering, corruption, nepotism and the rest of all other bad things. Please put forward a motion against the government itself. Better we have an election in November rather than March as the country is suffering big time.

        Ghandek zball kbir. Kemm tahseb li int biss “hands on” fuq mozzjonijiet ecc? U ghandek il-wicc issemmi t-tghajjir? Meta inti minn fommok hlief tghajjir fil-konfront tal-Prim Ministru u kontra shabek id-Deputati ma tghidx? Isthi jekk taf tisthi. Shame on you.

            Jekk qed tahseb li jien xi hadd qrib il-PM ghandek zball enormi. Jien segwejtek hafna matul din il-legizlatura u kont nemmen li kellek punti validi x’toffri b’risq pajjizna. Imma llum nghid li inti l-aktar deputat ghajjur li hemm fil-Parlament Malti bhalissa.
            U jmissek tisthi tghid li l-PM ta jew qed jaghti lil xi hadd il-barka biex jghajjar lilek jew lil xi hadd iehor.

            jekk kelli punti validi messni thallejt nimplimentahom.

            il-bqija hija reazjoni normali ghall oligarkija li cahhditni dak id-dritt

            Dan id-“dritt” jeżisti biss f’moħħok, u mkien iżjed.

            Ta’ avukat li int, nitolbok tikkwota dokument, kapitlu u vers minn mnejn joħroġ dan id-dritt li deputat elett għandu jingħata biex “jimplimenta l-punti validi tiegħu”.

            U allura jekk ma jeżistix dan id-dritt, ir-reazzjoni tiegħek mhix f’lokha.

          Either you are having it good or you are too naive, even myself, I started seeing the light only when I was callously aggrieved.

    Franco, f’kull ma qed issemmi fil-battalja tieghek kontra l-Oligarkija, partikolarment dwar Austin Gatt qieghed dejjem tinsa fjask iehor ta’ dan il-Ministru, il-famuz fjask tal-ARMS LTD. wara t-tbazwira li ghamel huwa stess bil-kontijiet tad-dawl u l-ilma li bihom dahhal lill-poplu Malti u partikularment lill-PN f’hafna inkwiet. Din il-gimgha gie ppubblikat rapport tal-Awditur dwar in-nuqqasijiet kbar tas-sistema ta’ li SMART METERS li iddahhlet mill-bidu nett minn Gatt innifsu bi ftehim li ghamel mal-IBM fost l-ohrajn. Malta kellha ssir il-pajjiz XEMPJU b’dawn il-meters u minflok ghandna qassata shiha, b’hafna postijiet ghadhom mhux installati minkejja li suppost tlestew sena u nofs ilu, u bil-Maltin xorta ghadhom jircievu kontijiet ESTIMU minflok attwali ghax suppost li l-meters kellhom jibdew jinqraw b’mod elettroniku minflok ma joqghod jigi l-meter reader ihabbatlek il-bieb. Din FROGA ohra li bdiha AUSTIN GATT u kompla ghaddej biha siehbu TONIO FENECH wara li GATT ittehditlu l-Enemalta.
