A View of History Tinted in Black
People trying to justify their racism by misquoting Mintoff CLEARLY fail to understand a single word the man ever said AND THE PEOPLE AROUND HIM, ESPECIALLY HIS FAMILY. The obvious: 1. His BROTHER Dionysius administers the Peace Lab which is itself a SHELTER FOR REFUGESS AND MIGRANTS along with the NGO AWAS which first began…

Rogue Issues
Any slight cannot AND SHOULD NOT be addressed at Halley Bailey. She is just doing her absolute best with what is available; it’s not her fault that the only opportunity Disney offered was putting her identity on trial by public, which is evil in itself. It is not her fault Disney CHOSE to deliberately cause…

Social Constructs, Relativism and Marxism, part 2
What is a social construct? It does not mean it is something “which not is”. A chair will still retain the function of an elevated horizontal surface balanced on distributed pressure points we rest ourselves on if it is called a “rose”. But I can still access its reality of being so and still call…

You do not “bring out” the “hidden…

Con Templation
The word “temple” comes from the Greek “templum/temenos” – “to cut away with a scythe”; reminiscent of Chronos, the Titan God of Time brandishing his scythe, later morphed into the incarnation of death. The temple is literally the place to put time apart from reflection away from it all. Glorification of the human condition reflects…

Plausible Deniability…?
I have…questions. In the article posted by the Times of Malta, Fr. Aaron Zahra, the Rector and St. Albert the Great, sticks to his guns and states that Mr. Mario Mallia, who is at the forefront of a lengthy saga, has allegedly refused to seek audience with the board of directors to discuss his ideas…
