Journalist Who Exposed Elite Gov’t Corruption Found Dead

A world-renowned journalist who exposed government corruption was found dead on Monday after a car bomb exploded with her inside.

Maltese Investigative journalist, Daphne Caruana Galizia, was responsible for leaking millions of documents from the Panama Papers, which exposed high-level government corruption from around the world.

Thefreethoughtproject.com reports: Her most recent work revealed that Malta’s prime minister, Joseph Muscat, and two of his closest aides, had connections to offshore companies that linked them to the sale of Maltese passports, and showed that they had received payments from the government of Azerbaijan, according to a report from the Guardian.

During a press conference on the attack, Muscat acknowledged Galizia’s work, and said, “Everyone knows Ms. Caruana Galizia was a harsh critic of mine, both politically and personally, but nobody can justify this barbaric act in any way.”

However, Galizia’s son is not convinced, and he referred to Muscat as a “clown” who was taking advantage of the situation by “making statements to parliament about a journalist he spent over a decade demonizing and harassing,” just hours after her death.

“Joseph Muscat, Keith Schembri, Chris Cardona, Konrad Mizzi, the Attorney General and the long list of police commissioners who took no action: you are complicit. You are responsible for this,” Matthew Caruana Galizia wrote, claiming his mother was assassinated in a Facebook post that called out a number of elected officials and politicians.

“My mother was assassinated because she stood between the rule of law and those who sought to violate it, like many strong journalists. But she was also targeted because she was the only person doing so. This is what happens when the institutions of the state are incapacitated: the last person left standing is often a journalist. Which makes her the first person left dead.”

Daphne Caruana Galizia will be remembered as a remarkable investigative journalist who risked her life to expose corruption among the elite. One of her most notable endeavors was bringing the massive revelations from the Panama Papers to light, which consisted of 11.5 million leaked documents that detailed financial information from more than 200,000 offshore accounts.

As The Free Thought Project reported in April 2016, the Panama Papers had a direct effect on the United States by revealing both elite and criminal donors who helped to finance the careers of Hillary and Bill Clinton through unethical offshore tax shelters.

Matthew Caruana Galizia is also an investigative journalist, and he worked alongside his mother on the investigation into the Panama Papers. He wrote that he was nearby when his mother’s car exploded with a blast so powerful that it sent the vehicle and its passenger flying into a nearby field.

“I am never going to forget, running around the inferno in the field, trying to figure out a way to open the door, the horn of the car still blaring, screaming at two policemen who turned up with a single fire extinguisher to use it. They stared at me. ‘I’m sorry, there is nothing we can do,’ one of them said. I looked down and there were my mother’s body parts all around me. I realized they were right, it was hopeless.”

Mr. Galizia said he told the police at the scene:

“My mother is in the car. She is dead. She is dead because of your incompetence.”

While some may refer to Daphne Caruana Galizia’s death as “tragic,” her son said he believes “this was no ordinary murder and it was not tragic.” He argued that “when there is blood and fire all around you, that’s war. We are a people at war against the state and organized crime, which have become indistinguishable.”

Mr. Galizia also claimed that “one of the police sergeants who is supposed to be investigating her murder, Ramon Mifsud, posted on Facebook, ‘Everyone gets what they deserve, cow dung! Feeling happy :)’”

“Yes, this is where we are: a mafia state where you can now change your gender on your ID card (thank God for that!) but where you will be blown to pieces for exercising your basic freedoms. Only for the people who are supposed to have protected you to instead be celebrating it. How did we get here? A culture of impunity has been allowed to flourish by the government in Malta. It is of little comfort for the Prime Minister of this country to say that he will ‘not rest’ until the perpetrators are found, when he heads a government that encouraged that same impunity.”

Mr. Galizia accused Muscat of filling his office, the police force, and the courts with crooks, imbeciles, and incompetents. “If the institutions were already working, there would be no assassination to investigate—and my brothers and I would still have a mother,” he wrote.

  1. Our condolences to her family. Ms. Caruana Galizia was a brave individual and a tireless seeker of the truth. May she rest in peace and those that murdered her be brought to justice.

    • have the individuals responsible for “ben-gazi” been brought to justice ? Don,t hold your breath on this one.

  2. This never should happen, nobody will step up and take the Clinton’s down, it’s their world of massive Corruption that will stop at nothing to protect their Evil Greed!

    • Have hope, move forward in faith. It may be a long battle, but in the end, we know who wins the fight between good and evil.

  3. we all know that anyone involved with the Clintons…..turns up dead…if its anything the Clintons fear will come out…remember the foster guy in the beginning and then later some woman found dead in her car….and the list goes on…

  4. If there’s no question about her association with “…most recent work revealed that Malta’s prime minister, Joseph Muscat, and two of his closest aides,” then what has the Clinton Foundation have to do with anything?

    Your title looks more like propaganda than “Truth.”

    • e Panama Papers had a direct effect on the United States by revealing both elite and criminal donors who helped to finance the careers of Hillary and Bill Clinton through unethical offshore tax shelters.

  5. Condolences to your family and friends. May your mother R.I.P and reach beyond the grave to her murderers. May they be incessantly tormented.

  6. It appears the Clinton Mafia have once again been intertwined with yet another death of a person who investigated the obvious corruption of the Clinton Foundation. Never get between a Clinton and their power or their money, bad things happen. May the family have peace and find justice.

  7. It looks like Maltese organized crime but I would not discount the Clintons entirely, because they do have international connections…and a little bit of money spread around would do great wonders. I wouldn’t be surprised if they simply paid say, $500,000 –pocket change for the Clintons– and then the Maltese crime organization “took care of it.”

    Whether there is anything provable or not this is great press and a wonderful warning to the whistleblowers.

    The wheels of Justice grind slow and exceedingly fine. Rest assured on the day of judgment the Clintons and all those people like them will be totally erased from the face of the Earth, from any sort of record of Eternity– they will be forgotten, they will be gone, they will be expunged out entirerly–oh they will still be aware but they’ll be in that lovely gasoline sauna. Baby Chelsea included.

  8. An evil act. Condolences to her family. It looks like (I say it LOOKS like) it was a crime commited on behalf of Joseph Muscat (or Muskrat), but it is another death in the long string of deaths of people with links to the Clintons.

  9. When you take on the Left, you put your own life – and possibly the life of your family and close friends – in great mortal peril.
    This is just the latest in the long and horrifying chain of suspicious and highly convenient deaths of people with information on the Clinton Crime Cartel or people close enough to the Clintons to pose a threat to their decades-long criminal activities… the list includes well over sixty names and has continued to grow…
    There is a limit to the plausibility of “coincidence” and the Clintons have pushed well past that… while hard physical evidence is scant, the circumstantial evidence is overwhelming… the palace intrigues of legendary kings, potentates and rulers of empires come to mind when one contemplates the dozens of people who have mysteriously died by all manner of “unfortunate accidents” … all of whom had information which would potentially bring down the criminal Clinton house of cards…

  10. Feel sad for her and her families loss. When will the U.S. DOJ bust the Clintons under the Reco Act?

  11. it is what it is…..the Clintons don’t do their own killing….it just sort of happens….like the foster guy….he was friends with the Clintons…they knew too much before bill got elected….then they found his body in some park and the gun was lying next to him…in such a way that proved he couldn’t have killed himself…then not long after some gal was found dead in her car and that was before he was elected as well….then with Hillary ..some gal in her hotel room…remember that….just too many …and they have a history from way back in Arkansas….Hillary cant say anything…she is an enabler of bill who gropped women from the get go …we cant have that in the white house again….we were a laughing stock back then….and I also wonder about OBAMA…remember when that woman drove up to the white house and they didn’t even give her a chance to drive anywhere…they shot her down like a dog and inside that car was a baby in the back seat….she said she knew barrack from some place they had met….makes me wonder….if she wasn’t knocked off so no scandal …I mean not our first black president…no way…the white house or the swamp up there does definitely need to be cleaned out…its why we elected a non politician….I’m a trey gowdy fan…..and you know how hard he is….he will get to the bottom of it….

  12. so, wonder why the Clintons never get arrested ……bill was tried and he lied and lied and lied and instead of putting him in jail for lying ….they came up with a reason why he lied…that he didn’t want his wife to know….plezzzz she knew….she enabled him ….and if anyone got in their way….bye bye…

  13. I sure hope something good will come out of this womans hard work such as a complete investigating of Clintons evil and corrupt business ending with a life jail sentence for them. Her death must not be without affection on those who hopefully will judge Clintons for all their crimes.

  14. If, and I do mean “IF”, Hell will ever need some of the nastiest, brutal and other adjectives one could add, to its arsenal of KILLERS… the Clintons take a huge prize. Their perversions know no end, but they will get theirs – count on this.

  15. The Panama Papers exposed 200,000 docs from many countries, exposing many transactions.Publishing them made Ms/ Galizia a target with a lot of enemies. In addition, Ms. Galizia was a vocal critic of the current Maltese government and the dominance of the Mafia in the life of the island. Given the plethora of powerful people who had motives to assassinate her, the likelihood of finding the specific culprits is almost nil. Instead, the outcome of the “investigation” will be “inconclusive”. Courageous Journalists such as Ms. Galizia and her son are truly heroic in their pursuit of truths that the powerful and wealthy want to keep hidden. These journalists risk their lives on OUR behalf and deserve our support, recognition and our protection under the law. Each time a demagogue or “mogul”, a powerful cartel or a megalomaniacal corporation gets away with this kind of crime, we ourselves become more vulnerable because our laws are also under attack. Either we stand with the journalists who take their professional responsibility seriously or we will all pay the price in a totally repressive anti-Democratic future. No more deaths.

  16. daphne rip our prays to you and your family.another notch on hillary clintons gun,the clinton cartel is a powerful one,they know how to manipulate almost anyone.they will get to you one way or another.they have written the book on treachery bribes and threats.and nothing gets in there way you can bet.the devil has nothing on the clinton cartel. and get in there way,they will send you to hell.as many have fought them,and disappeared as well.

  19. WOW! can someone please catch me up on this? You don’t here this from main stream media ever…….. Trump said he was draining the swamp and these vile creatures are fighting back. Does this really have anything to do with the Clinton’s? Body count keeps pilling up.

  20. Seriously, if you have ever spoken to the Clintons, even in a grocery store, if you ran into Bill as he was coming out of an adult bookstore, or Chelsea coming out of a bank with sacks of money, you need to change your name and go into witness protection….NOW.
