so what Fred and hand held were really saying was the US sent a spy / spook / cia agent down here to rape a US citizen because they aren't happy with the way we govern our watersports? that's a good one guys....

The cabinet knows exactly how many work permits it has issued to Chinese workers at the Pointe - it's just not telling the public. Wonder why?

Well...we know there is at least one Bahamian that's working on the project that has a very quick rubber stamp action...

Every time I see this design.... why did they think this is what we needed? We want our culture in our country.

The Chinese own our gov't. The laws that apply to everyone else do not apply to them apparently.

As for the design.... it is absolutely terrible.

> ST ANNE’S MP Hubert Chipman yesterday questioned whether the Christie administration was aware of the number of work permits it issued to foreigner labourers currently employed at The Pointe

Is this a serious question?

unfortunately yes.

**Publius:** I think it is serious because I wouldn't trust any Chinaman to be honest and CCA has these people on the ground from Baha Mar and who can tell one Chinese from another. These guys never waited for the MOW approvals so you think they going to worry about permits when the people are already landed and only speak Mandarin. I think Fweddy should go down there and do a head count.

Right, but that's not the question Chipman asked. He didnt ask if the government knows how many Chinese are actually down there, he asked if the government knows how many work permits the Cabinet approved. That's what I meant when I asked if Chipman was serious. Ofcourse the Cabinet knows how much work permits it approved. The question ought to have been how many were approved, and then how many people are actually there over and above what was approved.

It's all rhetoric, what they say doesn't have to make sense, as long as it paints their 'opponents' (aka co-workers) in a bad light.

The President of China Import-Export Bank has demanded of Christie that he instruct Fweddy Boy to tell the Bahamian people that less than a dozen work permits have been issued to Chinese nationals in connection with The Pointe project. Fweddy Boy will soon be communicating to us the work permit information the China Import-Export Bank wants us Bahamians to hear.

Going into town early each morning, I get to see groups of these Coolies gathering in the grounds of their lodgings, and some days there are anywhere from twenty to thirty men. The true number of how many are employed must be staggering. And the Bahamians who are employed? They are the ones who hold up the traffic signs when the Chinamen cross the roads !! The Pointe thinks that our own men and women are only capable of being the school crossing guards for the Yellow Horde. Disgusting.

That is because too many Bahamians, from the political class to all other classes, believe that such a thing is all we are worth, and that we should "be grateful the man give us one job"

You lie! I saw three Bahamians sweeping up some debris along the walking path as well. So we not only have Bahamians (2) doing menial jobs like cross walk attendant, but we also have Bahamians (3) specializing in Dust & Debris Removal.

ha!

Well I passed last week and counted 5 (yes, 5) black men with hard hats on. Don't know if they Bahamian or foreign. Even if they there, they definitely in the minority.

PLP forever........ get used to it!

The Perry Chinese stronger Bahamas. Cable Beach has less hotel rooms open now than when the country went independent. That equals less hotel workers employed, less mortgage paid, less taxi fairs, less straw vendor sales, less everything. People out West are worse off than they ever were. Now the Perry Chinese have abandoned that mess and moved to the British Colonial. You people in downtown had better hang on to your bungies

the whole country! Chinaman got the PM like a puppet on strings, doing is patented shuffle for all to see

We come here to voice our opinions, but how much of us comming together to change things? Do y'all understand until us the people come together and stand up and fight, we will all continue to be slaves. We are a slave colony, Das our history, what make y'all think something change? We don't own anything, we don't manufacture nothing, no type major industrial industry, even our land ain't ours. We still being dictated to by everyone from USA to china. We ain't a people who invent nothing, we ain't a people who value proper education, if it wasn't for other countries we would be a third world country if we ain't already. Bahamians are a bunch or workers, is either construction or hotel industry, once we working for someone, most of the people content. Our so called leaders are the "house niggers", everyone else out here on the plantation getting whip. I don't understand us Jed, we complain an den go march lmfao!

Right. Can you give us any information on the work you are doing that we might be able to support?

If we does come together to try to control our destiny, watch the gov't brand us a gang members... o_0
