Here's something our distastefully stupid Minister of Foreign Affairs probably does not appreciate. We don't need a harbour anymore.....all of the cruise ships will soon being going to Cuban ports instead! And when we get put on the various global lists for money-laundering activities, terrorist-related activities and human rights/smuggling abuses, the U.S. will announce the closure of its pre-clearance facilities and impose travel restrictions on Americans coming to the Bahamas and on Bahamians going to the U.S. The U.S. government and its controlled financial agencies (IMF, World Bank, IDB, S&P, Moodys, etc.) have already begun to activate certain aspects of "Operation Yellow Bird", a covert operation directed at making the Bahamas the most undesirable place on the planet for the Chinese to set up shop. In the course of rendering all Chinese investments in our country worthless, "Operation Yellow Bird" will also leave the Bahamas government and Bahamians still living in the Bahamas poor and destitute while Cuba becomes the re-born jewel of our region. Our naked Emperor Christie and his new found oriental friends are going to take us all down for the final count, with little to no likelihood of us ever getting back up again. Allowing the 'yellow bird' to land on America's door step was about the dumbest thing Christie and his cohorts could ever have done. As the adage goes, "You reap what you sow!"

Preach bey! Cuban was it before Castro and US chose Bahamas as the back up. Now like they want nice up Cuban again.

Reflect on who owns Bahamian money (hint: US). In fact, we don't even have money really... it's US money we use, the 'Bahamian' bills is like for tourist to pick-up and say it's cute and feel like they're not actually still in the States (though they are in a state effectively run by the States).

What always does kill me is why the Bahamas gov't is so up in the Chinese pants (ans: Chinese puttin money in dey pants). Look at how China is do it's own people and then come tell me who want dem do the same thing to Bahamians. Bey y'all is fool or what

Yep, it was somewhat perplexing when the US bank agreed to accept shady gaming money from BOB. But in hindsight it just made it easier for them to nab someone at a later date for laundering money over state lines. They've indicted Adrian Fox ALREADY. That means they must have evidence of his illegal human smuggling. The only reason he's not in a US court at the moment is because his lawyers (Davis &Co?) are currently blocking the move. When enough pressure is applied he will go the way of Ninety. The US is waiting to drop the hammer on this clueless corrupt and conflict riddled government. The only thing that can save us is an election

That Sir Baltron letter is a bombshell. If the government were a private company they would have been sicced with fines

It's fitting that Baltron was the one to set out in writing the government's conspiracy to defraud the Izmirlian family with the help of the Chinese general contractor (CCA) and Chinese bank (CEXIMB). Now we know why Ruffin was in town snooping around at the invitation of Christie!

Comrades how can Baha Mar's response now be:
“Baha Mar is focused on doing all it realistically can to have the resort’s construction completed properly and opened successfully as soon as possible. Baha Mar is not going to comment on Minister Mitchell’s statements.”
Wasn't it the ongoing outlandish statements made over and over again by Izmarlian, that is behind all this, not Minister Freddy's.
To now step forward to suggest that izmarlin has been doing all he could have realistically done to get Baha Mar open. is to be tossing even more buckets, full pure Izmarlian poppycock.

Fred couldn't investigate his way out of a brown paper bag. His "investigation" is only more bullying tactics and to justify his most undiplomatic behaviiour. If this is our best diplomat, then God help us all. This country will be 4th world and blacklisted everywhere for decades to come.

Poor Mitchell, he's just the bucket boy anyway for PM Christie....saying what he thinks Christie want's him to say...cause he's trying to garner favor to try and get the next PM spot!!! Ain't that clear enough....brown nosing the PM....again...

Mitchell says what he wants to say because he knows how weak and indecisive Christie is. He knows he will never get the coveted spot of PM because of his romoured personal lifestyle so he has to live vicariously through the PM by usurping him on every major scandal and putting out his own press releases like he is in charge.

Frankly, it's as close to the grove as he will ever get!

Does anyone have any info regarding reimbursements, promised in writing by BaHa Mar , for non-refundable airline tickets purchased {1065$} which we could not use since the resort NEVER opened ?? Thanks so much...SAL
