Comrade Chippie distant solar system are you living on? We have American tourists being mugged, raped and robbed, the numbers rackets piggybacking off US States Lotteries, money laundering, the Chinese government who themselves are not shy when it comes to spying, with cozy ties Bahamaland. We have corruption, human, drugs and gun trafficking through our waters, US citizen tax dodgers ....and you have to ask, IF the US government are spaying over and on Bahamaland?

Keep your eye on the only two balls that matter most Chippie: (1) VAT is horribly regressive and will cripple our economy; whatever additional revenue comes will quickly evaporate on necessary expanded welfare safety nets for the significantly increased poor; and (2) PM is proposing to try legalize the illicit activities of the numbers' bosses, thereby illegally thwarting the will of the Bahamian people as expressed in a duly held referendum instigated by him.

The PM has instructed his crew to throw up into the air as many controversial and distracting balloons as possible in an effort to have the public's attention taken away from the only two balls that really matter to him most right now. Tell your side to get back on track.

You stupid or what? The NSA's job is to spy. Of course they are spying on the Bahamas. You need to be told of this fact? Get the fuck outta here.

Omgoodness. This man calls himself an active politician and has to question whether the US is spying on us or not??? What planet are these political leaders living on??? Furthermore.... this spying controversy initially began with the allegations that the NIA under Perry Christie was responsible for eavesdropping on bahamian's phone conversations. What ever became of that??? Did Perry Christie just assume that if he activated one of his smoke screens we would all just forget about it???

Intelligence gathering, spying is the pillar stone of any developed nation. Anyone politician who does not know that is clueless to world affairs. We have as a business partner, China, who has one of the most intricate and advanced spy network in the modern world. Do we think China is spying on us? Snowden is a traitor and probably was a spy himself planted by the USSR. Spy games have been over the years an intense display of geo-political chess that will continue to go on as long as nations exist. We are being spied on ,will continue to be spied and will be spied on by not only the US.

Most likely this whole issue of eves dropping will silently disappear from the headlines, or the Bahamian government will announce that it has reached an amicable agreement with the US government over the matter. Of course the details of the agreement will never be revealed. Have you ever wondered about the design of that strange looking building near Montagu that is the Chinese Embassy? Some of the design is to help stop the building being bugged. Do you think the reason for so many dropped calls on the cellular network is because they are tapping all cellphones in this country? And what about when you call certain cell numbers and get that echo in the phone..is that the calls being tapped by the local NIA?
