I wonder what Mizzi would have fought of the bombing of his beautiful island by Savoias and Henkels.

I can't say it helped the Italian sympathizers all that much. Still one of the Axis biggest mistakes not to invade Malta right away in the summer/fall of 1940. Became a pretty big thorn later on.....

He aslo calles Fort St Angelo, St Elmo and St Publius' church as San Giovanni.

With such bad intelligence no wonder Malta was never taken in spite of Mussolini's empty claims that he will ,bomb Malta at 6am and be having breakfast there at 8am. Coraggio Fuggiamo.

Nel passato Malta fu Bizantina e Ortodossa e Araba e Musulmana e la Sicilia fu Siciliana e Bizantina e Vandala e Araba e Musulmana. Gli Normani ed Italiani Catholici invadono questo Regione in 1055 AD e gli Siciliani e Maltesi Arabi furono esterminati dalla inquizitione anti Musulmana e furono arrostiti come gli Cavalieri Templari nel 1308 AD. Noi Chaldei furono trattati come Barbari e liquididadi dagli Normanni 1066 e Zionisti Brittannici. La Tortura Continua Oggi e Soltanto la Mafia ribella.

The British Zionists and American Mormons and Jewish Gakbini used the guilotine on our friend Louis XVI. They roasted 3,000,000 Germans with Incendiaries in WWII and we gassed 10,000,000 of them. That Jew, George Bush killed 600,000 of our Chaldean Brothers. But this is only the begining. Israel is doomed and so is the USA, Britain and all Zionist Capitalists. You are doomed! The World will be Ruled by ME, Ben Laden, Ahmedinejad and Putin with the Capital in Mecca, Head Office Kaaba - Allah.

Malta is not Italian nor British. Malta Belongs to the Maltese since 2800 BC. It does not Belong to Socialism or Capitalism or to the Zionists. Malta Belongs to the Maltese NEW EXTREME RIGHT and the Maltese Facist Workers. In Malta we speak Maltese which is Ancient Egyptian and Chaldean. It was the Egyptians and the Babylonians who tortured the Israelis and Moses and Daniel and defeated them and we will do it again to Larry King, Oliver Reed and all Socialists, Capitalists and Gakbini and Zionis
