The consequences of fighting the State
A major stumbling block to Robert Abela’s search for an alternative to Police Commissioner Angelo Gafa and a new Deputy-Attorney General are his consequences of waging a war against the State, especially by having attacked the Judiciary and invoking conspiracy theories around it. Now, the Prime Minister is in situation where he has lost the…

No control and a State in tatters
A mob will ascend to the Law Courts as Joseph Muscat makes his first court appearance over the Vitals and Steward case, charged with money laundering and making part of a criminal organisation. On the same day, Law Courts staff who are members of the General Workers’ Union will strike in what is a blatant…

Sorry is not enough and Justice has to be done
Europe has gone through countless wars, strife, mediation and debate to come out with the best possible systems of law and order. Our democratic precepts and way of life are the result of a historical development that today continues forward by our interactions and thoughts. We have a justice system that is the result of…

Rule of law, but through “blogs”, journalism, civil society and the Opposition
“Keep writing your books and blogs” didn’t age well did it? This website was the first outlet to report the story that Kurt Buhagiar defrauded the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development to build his personal villa. Now, European Parliament candidate Peter Agius has reported this case to the European Anti-Fraud Office requesting to investigate…

The Murder Suspect Playing Political King
I love some posturing in the early hours of the morning by the deadbeat socialists who, despite their old age, can’t gather the courage to say it as it is. Smells like death. Not the one that Joseph Muscat and his friends committed by first murdering a journalist and then covering up her murder so…

Thank you Robert Aquilina
I’ve read the news about Robert Aquilina stepping down as President of the Repubblika NGO with sadness. In the past few months, Robert Aquilina has received a lot of online attacks against him, apart from being increasingly threatened and harassed in the street and in public, even when in the presence of his wife. He…

Riling up the mob against the judiciary
You’d have to be totally dumb or otherwise dishonest as an analyst to fail to understand Robert Abela’s insidious maneuvers and discourse against the judiciary. This is just a small sample of the tireless stuff that is being thrown out there. Mark CamilleriWebsite Editor Historian and Publisher

Reversing 2019 and the slow march towards dictatorship
Dictatorships are not necessarily born by coups or dramatic violent events. Dictatorships or authoritarian regimes can also evolve from fragile liberal democracies and we’ve seen this process already such as in Turkey, Thailand, and Venezuela. In Europe, we have a milder version of this process which we call the “illiberal democracy” mostly popularised by Hungary.…

Pedro Sanhcez proposes EU sanctions against violent Israeli settlers
Readers may have read the letter signed by Malta, Belgium, Ireland, and Spain to the EU Council proposing EU sanctions against violent Israeli settlers in the West Bank. Pedro Sanchez and Robert Abela, who are rarely if ever involved in international conflicts, are taking the opportunity from the war in Gaza to salvage their political…

On impeaching magistrates
I have been informed by someone who is more knowledgeable about the law that Parliament can no longer impeach members of the judiciary as it once could. Parliament’s power to impeach members of the judiciary was removed in 2020 as part of the Venice Commission’s reforms on the rule of law. Now, according to the…

Owen Bonnici: the Labour trash that doesn’t stop wrecking
One of the main propagandists in the social benefits racket is Owen Bonnici who used to send his constituents to Silvio Grixti to obtain medical certificates so as to fraudulently apply for social benefits they didn’t deserve. Owen Bonnici also sent his constituents to Silvio Grixti through other third parties who canvassed for him. The racket…

How the Labour Party turned into Robert Abela’s cult
The story of how the Labour Party became Robert Abela’s cult is very interesting and involves different sub-stories. It involves the story of a criminal deal by Robert Abela and Joseph Muscat, a generation of young socialists who abandoned their ideals, an internal government and Party purge, a disunited opposition, and the fizzling out of…
