Only the dreamer can reveal his dream as only he has seen it and therefore only he can speak to it.

Christie talks in circles. Now it's his lawyers who told him to seal the agreement. He's not to blame. There is not a reason in the business world why this agreement can't be made public. There are no other parties involved, so no competition to gain anything from this. At the news conference he said , in a few days the details will be made public. The next day he's at the court sealing the documents. So, overnight his lawyers made this decision . It's apparent he gave the Chinese things he doesn't want the Bahamian people to know about. He thinks this will help him with the election, but the people are on to his way of miss leading them. It's over Mr. Christie, after this there is nothing left to give away, to the Chinese, is there?

>#“Do I want to go through the vexation of people calling me names? As our society matures, as we wrestle with the proverbial mud of politics, we are strengthening our democracy, yes, but there comes a time when people must try to understand the economy and the discussion and the conversation should be of how are we going to advance ourselves when you hear the International Monetary Fund speaking about productivity?

#“When unions are faced with challenges, Sandals, it all ties together. We have an obligation as a country to advance the economy of the Bahamas, to be able to justify the existence of institutions like BTVI because young people who are trained must feel and have the hope that they are being trained to go into the workforce and do work. In all things the proof of the pudding is in the eating. So whatever is the element of secrecy and how it intrigues people, it has to come out. And people will determine how could a bankruptcy turn into something positive outcome for the people who are affected.”

Does anyone remember Hurricane Hannah? It blowed and rained and blowed but Traveller's Rest out west was opened. My car was drenched by waves coming over the sea wall. When I got there, the place was packed. Board games on the tables. Some of the shutters were loose in the wind, and banging away. Nobody paid nevermind. I ate my sandwich, made with Purity Bakers White Bread and some gawdawful plastic cheese, chased it with a beer and totally enjoyed it. There was an old pocketbook there -- Caine Mutiny by Herman Wouk. I asked the owner to take it with me and my request was granted. I hunkered down and read it.

I was fascinated by the typhoon (a Pacific hurricane) scene when the officers of the ship took over from Captain Queeg because he was an incompetent idiot, who at other times appeared normal. In the trial of the officers who took over the ship to save it, the defense lawyer must show that Queeg is insane. He verbally provokes him by asking sensitive questions, until Queeg starts to ramble incoherently.

Perry Crisco Butt's direct quote reminds of the insane Queeg on the stand. He rambles from topic to topic. He introduces non-sequitors. He doesn't finish thoughts. Crisco Butt goes from people calling him names immediately to strengthen democracy without a segue, and without stopping goes to the economy and throws in the IMF for good measure in the same sentence. The man is insane. There is not one coherent thread in that sentence. His head valves must have been damaged by the stroke, and he is our leader? What a joke. The rest of his statement is just as incoherent. We must be the laughingstock of the world. Read the sentences for yourself. This is embarrassing to all Bahamians.

LIAR, LIAR. PANTS ON FIRE! Tell us Mr. Christie exactly what additional concessions the Chinese were able to extort from you because of your precarious political predicament. No doubt you have saddled our country with a great amount of additional debt that will break the backs of all honest hard working Bahamian taxpayers. You wrongfully allowed yourself to be coerced by the Chinese into granting significant additional concessions in an effort for you to save face knowing that your political hide is rightfully on the firing line due to your gross incompetence and corrupt tenure as PM. Mr. Christie, WE, THE BAHAMIAN PEOPLE HAVE A FUNDAMENTAL CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT MORE YOU HAVE GIVEN AWAY TO THE CHINESE AND BY CONSEQUENCE THE GREAT ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL BURDEN YOU HAVE SADDLED US AND OUR COUNTRY WITH! There can be only one reason you and your Chinese friends have cloaked what you have done in secrecy....and it is not a commercial reason at all. YOU AND YOUR CHINESE FRIENDS JUST DON'T WANT US TO KNOW THE TRUTH BEHIND WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO ROYALLY SCREW THE BAHAMIAN PEOPLE for your own benefit and the benefit of your cronies like Allyson Maynard-Gibson!

Comrades! It's a hard fact that many still wish damn those who looked into their crystal balls to warn both prime ministers Christie and his former law partner Papa Hubert, not to make The Bahamaland so financially dependently enthralled with Izmirlian's
Baha Mar fantasy and the Chinese government and the Chinese government's owned and controlled bank and construction company.
Billions spent at Baha Mar, along with another billion dollars in taxpayers moneys.lands and concessions and now it sure sounds likes the government is about to continue with the craziness by spending another Billion dollars of state moneys. lands and concessions.
Looks at former PM Papa Hubert, who was the mastermind behind the wasteful Baha Mar spending spree and he was soon to go fishing up in Cooper's Town -leaving his mess behind him.
Now, from the sounds things going on within the PLP, so soon will PM Christie join his former law partner in retirement - with both former PM's leaving the state saddled deep in the madness of Baha Mar debt, lost lands and unpaid for special concessions.
Only in The Bahamaland, does taxpayers get build a Billion dollars 'dock.' And guess what. We don't even dare claim be the legal owners of the waterfront's waters that damn 'fancy dock' was built over. Waterfronts are reserved for the foreigners exclusive swimming and ownership - be they American, Canadian, European or Jamaican, etc, etc.

Mitchell must own thousands of you brain dead PLP trolls. By the way, his posting on the Wikipedia web site was hacked the other day and the "dog on dog" graphic, both looking like under gifted pot cakes with small sets of balls, looked utterly disgusting. Fweddy really needs to pay more for internet security.

Many of my friends saw it too....the very animated graphic was up for nearly two full days with rockin' music before it was taken down by Wikipedia....I never laughed so hard in my life...both my sides still hurt!

I'm telling you, the hair dye is affecting him!

Back to basics: The Bahamaian people by way of its government, led by Perry Gladstone Christie has already invested and given over $1 billion to Bah Mar with no equity. One third of the value of the project. If the government sees the need to grant more concessions and gifts to this project then they need to come bail out every Bahamian business that is struggling, pay off every mortgage for Bahamians and cancel all VAT and property taxes for the duration of the concessions with Bah Mar. Remember the problems with Bah Mar were caused by a contractors shoddy performance and strong arming by the bank

The Prime Minister said:

"...when hundreds of millions of dollars, like a billion dollars, as part of an agreement has to be transferred to the Bahamas, you don’t jump up and talk about it until such a time that your lawyers say it is now time to talk."

So, you mean he called the big press conference to make the Big announcement without the consent of his lawyers?

Comrade The Rt.Honourable Prime Minister, you have to stop reacting as if your PLP cabinet have earned the privilege to feel all offended by the public's reaction to your most recent Baha Mar salvation pronouncements. The pubic simply will not take you or any of cabinet colleagues at their word on anything...and PM, you're political smart enough to understand what's behind the public's mistrust. The public is not prepared to await another unfulfilled promise to disclose all in due time. PM, the public does not believe you and you know the why. PM, nothing personal or political, I am just being blunt with the reality being talked at the street corners.

Comrade Alex-Charles to say the PM is clearly lying to the public over the Chinese deal is an overstatement not supported by the facts at hand. Where the PM tends to gets himself in deep trouble with the public is when he over-promises and then forgets to guide his ministers to deliver on what he had just promised. It's almost like he totally forgets the importance of making good on his government's promises to the public.

**....................... PM Christie said *"People got to believe I’m stupid,”* ........................**

By golly, Christie's finally owning up to something!

Mr: Christie is doing a good job. But there will always be those who will say all manner of evil
about any and every body. It is their heart condition and they can not be helped. Mean spirited. bitter and without Joy.

I guess "good job" is defined by what you think the outcome should be. If it's driving foreigners away, raising crime, lowering education, ruining investments and jobs he sure did a great job so far...

No birdie, he's not doing a good job, look no further than his ability to lead the members of his cabinet. They lead him. He put Shane Gibson in charge of our NIB reserves. He is not doing a good job.

Stop talking shit, if the deal is open and transparent, let the people see. You have sealed the documents, that means you have kept them **SECRET!**

A well written indictment of Christie and summation of his legacy as the "sole owner" of the Baha Mar debacle would reveal that none other than the evil serpent a.k.a. Sir Snake has been advising Christie behind the scenes on how best to ensure the political elite and their business cronies (in addition to Christie's Chinese friends) all make out like bandits while honest hard working Bahamian taxpayers get stuck with, better still, royally screwed by, the bill.
