ĠAĦAN FL-AQWA ŻMIEN

ISBN: 9789918953523

Tiftakruh lil Ġaħan? Dak it-tifel Malti li ġibed il-bieb tad-dar t’ommu? Dażgur li tiftakruh. Ġaħan huwa l-aktar karattru letterarju popolari Malti. Kontu tafu li Ġaħan ta’ Malta ġej minn Ġaħan Għarbi li jismu Ġoħa? Fuq hekk ngħidilkom darb’oħra. Għalissa għandi bżonn nirrakkontalkom l-istorja tal-Ġaħan Malti għax għadda ħafna żmien minn mindu ġibed il-bieb, u minn dak iż-żmien ’l hawn Ġaħan inbidel!

Ġaħan illum jismu Dustin. Jaħdem fl-IT bħala developer. Baqa’ kummidjant imma sar xi ftit aktar intellliġenti. Ma jistax jgħabbi mara. Dejjem bil-problemi. Jixtieq isir artist imma għażżien. Moħħu biex jiekol. Daħal fil-crypto biex jagħmel lira u tilef kollox. Xtara penthouse l-Fgura fl-Aqwa Żmien u ġietu ħażin. Darba ltaqa’ ma’ politikanta li jisimha Polly u talbitu jagħmlilha website. Dustin ħaseb li tħobbu u l-website għamilhielha imma daħħlitu f’biċċa inkwiet. Imma fl-aħħar irnexxielu jpattihielha.

Dan huwa rumanz satiriku fuq Malta ħanina, ħobża u sikkina. Dan huwa rumanz fuq Malta u l-Maltin. Dustin huwa x-xempju tar-raġel Malti fl-Aqwa Żmien.

A Rent Seeker’s Paradise (Print Version)

ISBN: 978-9918-9535-1-6

This is my story as told by a primary source from the view of a government bureaucrat and a Labour Party delegate. Through this book I share my experience, knowledge and also untold stories about government-sanctioned criminal activity.

This is the story of how disgraced prime minister Joseph Muscat, his chief of staff Keith Schembri, and former energy minister Konrad Mizzi, abetted and covered for Darren Debono, a Maltese oil smuggler indicted by the United States government. Through Darren Debono, the Maltese government refuelled a foreign warship in foreign waters while officially refusing to allow it to refuel on Maltese territory. The Minister of Police, Emmanuel Mallia also participated in the abetting and covering up of the money laundering in the illegal oil smuggling business. Camilleri argues that Joseph Muscat’s proximity to criminals was by design and not by accident and explains why and how. Joseph Muscat earned the title of Person of the Year in Organized Crime and Corruption by the OCCRP in 2019. Although he cannot prove it, Camilleri is completely convinced that Joseph Muscat, apart from being involved in corruption himself, was also aware in advance of the plan to murder Daphne Caruana Galizia. I give detailed explanations in my book.

This is also the story of what happened in the government and the Labour Party during the November/December 2019 political crisis and after the Panama Papers scandal in 2016. The book explains how the bureaucracy and the civil service were essential to executing the corruption of Joseph Muscat’s government.

Prattikament, din hija wkoll storja ta’ ribelljoni ta’ żagħżugħ u ġenerazzjoni sħiħa ta’ ħaddiema li ġġieldet għall-kawża tas-soċjaliżmu u ta’ Malta ħielsa.

A materialist revision of Maltese history: 1919-1979

ISBN: 978-99932-17-56-5

This is the second volume in the series “A Materialist Revision of Maltese History”. Through his series Camilleri tries to study Maltese history from a materialistic perspective using Hegel and Marx as his fundamental reading to his methodology. Amongst the main themes of this volume are Malta’s process of decolonisation, 20th century ideology, the history of the economy and politics.

Malta’s most significant historic process took place in the 20^th century when it underwent a paradigmatic change from a vulnerable and dependent society, into an independent country both economically and politically. The seeds of this process were sown in 1919, but it was the Second World War which unleashed the working class movement. Malta’s paradigm shift into a fully-fledged independent country reached its pinnacle mark in 1979 when Malta’s naval base was closed down and the World Bank described Malta as one of the richest of small island states. The march to 1979 and the ideal it represented was fulfilled through an arduous struggle by the working class and the Labour Party led by Dom Mintoff. This was an ideal which people dreamed of when work was scarce and tens of thousands emigrated away, when the Church still dominated politics and conditioned the future of the country and when Malta was still economically dependent on Britain. It is an astonishing tale of a poor and miserable people which rose up against all odds to achieve political freedom and social justice.

A materialist revision of Maltese history: 870-1919

ISBN: 978-99932-17-43-5

A Materialist Revision of Maltese History: 870 – 1919 is a critical reading of Maltese history. Influenced by Hegelian philosophy and Marxist materialism, it poses new critical perspectives based on previously known and accepted historical data. Some interesting primary sources of note, which will be revealed for the first time, include the police logbooks of the early 20th century.

This book’s focus on the mind and material conditions of the ‘ordinary’ Maltese people and offers a fresh look at Maltese history. This book is Maltese history as it is, without the grand narratives and beautiful anecdotes which make Maltese history novel and glorious. There is in reality nothing that glorious about Maltese history; on the contrary, Maltese history was sad, dark, tragic and bleak. The Maltese people lived in misery, poverty, insularity and ignorance and their survival in terms of wealth and security depended on their rulers. The Maltese elite was only concerned with making easy profits rather than with contributing to the over-all development of society and the well-being of its compatriots, while clerics left the people mired in ignorance and stupidity so as to keep absolute control over the Maltese mind.

Nevertheless, the Seventh June Riots of 1919 would prove to be a turning point for both the exploited majority and their superiors, their patrons, their leaders and their clerics. This was a point in Maltese history when the masses became conscious of their freedom and tried to overturn the objective conditions of their lives.
