Think our Minister of Education is experiencing slight paranoia ..

He is Educating you.

These guys are losing it. Say "overthrow the Gov" how lousy can a gov be that a couple of environmentalist can overthrow them. Real jokers. DISTRACTION

I would say that the Hon. Minister's position is both intellectually challenging and challenged.

This will only further to distract from the big problem at hand **"the Bahamian Economy and the National Debt".**

**Focus people, focus.....economy.....jobs......national debt.**

I don't think it does. The mess we are in with all the items you list, is BECAUSE of the corruption in this country.

The damage to the PLP was done by the words coming out of Nygard's mouth, dummy!!! And you call yourself minister of what????

The whole ruling party is getting very parinoid as they should because as they say "da fowl comin home to roost". It will be entertaining to seecthe flim flam that will be spewed from their mouths.

Agree

The funny part about the whole situation is that all the dirty players come out of the woodwork over nothing. no charges, no court decision. All Bacon & Co did, was throwing an old weathered bone to the pack of dogs and the are killing each other over it. Big Movie, this is. Very efficient strategy by Bacon & Co. and I bet this is only the beginning and it will end with a new Government in Place and charges, shunning and legal, social, economic and political embarrassment for the whole political class in the Bahamas.

Man Grassroot you are so right.They were caught off guard now all of a sudden Fred them want to overthrow the gov. Fritzy really gone over board on this one. If they had evidence of such a plot,why is it just coming out ?

very true. may end up with indictments for DPM, PM, Fred & Co in the U.S. for money laundering. Am sure the money that was spread around was not taxed in Canada.

If they'er fool enough to invite the FBI to investigate, they will be opening themselves up to scrutiny in several other areas as well that they really want to keep under wraps! They are using the usual old smoke and mirrors routine "talking" about the FBI because they suddenly find themselves between a big rock and a very hard place.

Fitzgerald is a piece of shit associated with a cesspool cabinet. These SOBs can publish private citizens salaries, yet they wont' provide campaign funding from Mohammed Harajchi; Peter Nygard; Numbers boys. Additionally, they continue to break the law every year by refusing to disclose...This evil regime spent 15 million on the Carnival debacle, and a year later refuse to account for public money, yet they can talk about a decent Bahamian making 100 K a year. Fitzgerald, kiss your own.....!

Mr. Fitzgerald, ALL sensible Bahamians are trying to overthrow your government. You guys and gals are useless and corrupt to the very core of your beings.

Louis Bacon, Fred Smith, Michael Pintard, Peter Nygard. And others must all be severely disciplined !Such a disgrace! You cannot clean up corruption with murderous plots and bribery and goons! And $15,000.00 allegedly spent a week to brainwash Bahamians and %4 million to bribe the PM..an I still broke?

Yes! Get those permits for the real FBI by next week and investigate all incoming and outgoing transactions at local banks for any member of the govt. excellent suggestion.

Who can. I mean who can clean up corruption in this land? Seriously.

How are you attempting to group a man who tried to BUY THE GOVERNMENT... with some people who placed articles to try and make the Bahamian public AWARE of the fact that the aforementioned was trying to buy the government...? You see how that doesn't work?

*“I wish also to say that from what I have seen, some $8.25m has been sent through the mechanisms that I have described from the year 2013 to the end of 2015,” Mr Mitchell said.*
Funny he couldn't find any information on Nygard's financial mechanisms a year earlier ! Between January and May 2012 !
But my guess is that this 5 Million went into personal bank accounts and not party accounts as a few say they didn't get !!!

"Topple the Government" as if that is a criminal activity ? It is the bounden duty of the Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition to oppose the Government and if, by opposing, the Government is toppled then the Opposition has done its job.
You all could see the tide coming up around your bloody necks now, and you know it won't be long now. And then the Commission of Enquiry and who guilty, goin' up so to chill.

What is he on about!?
The Government is toppling itself, they don't need any help from 'activists'.

Agreed ............... BOL ................ will the Chinese bail the PLP out?????

And to think that this is the fella who suppose to come up with the Freedom of Information Act 2.0 ................... what a big joke

Occh!!

Now we understand why this vomit smeared PLP Government refuses to regularize NIA. These SOBs spying on Bahamians with impunity!. That's how they got the emails. This Gestapo NIA know the identity of all of us who use this comment section!

They can just call up their "boy" ............. Leon Williams??????????

Comrade Jerome is a senor crown cabinet minister, so it shouldn't come as a revelation to him that he need only call up the USA’s National Security Agency (NSA) who have for years intercepted and recorded Bahamamaland’s telephone calls.
Minister Jerome whatever you want the IRS and FBI to find out, the contents of every phone call dialed or received within Bahamaland is already stored in the National Security Agency’s (NSA) vast database, the contents of effectively every phone call dialed or received within Bahamaland…calls that analysts can listen to them at will after the fact.
We are talking about every call made by tourists, residents, business owners, shop clerks, maids, lawyers, accountants, doctors, school teaches, PM and his cabinet ministers and yes - even the preacherman's, Lyford Cay residents, drug dealers and hookers and government officials and employees of all grades.
Start to worry, because if you’re guilty of sweet heart cheating on your spouse, or crooking your business partner and you chatted on the phone - yep, NSA got the whole juicy chats recorded.
Comrades it would not surprise me to learn that the United kingdom and China are also listening-in to calls.

The AG should move expeditiously with that FBI invite

I hope Jeff Lloyd is getting into politics and I hope he gets position of party leader in the FNM with Dr Sands as his deputy . I then hope that Bran sees this as a positive change and forms a coalition with the FNM.

I don't have a party affiliation, and no disrespect to Dr Minnis (seriously), but I don't like where this present govt has been or where it's going. They are morphing into a soft version of Nazi Germany. Spying on your private citizens? Digging through emails of your political rivals on a fishing expedition? Remember Darren Cash? Attacking private citizens in parliament where you have immunity from prosecution? And what of the **Bahamians** accepting the orders to carry out the spying? "*I was just following orders*"

*The Schutzstaffel (SS; also stylized as with Armanen runes; German pronunciation: [ˈʃʊtsˌʃtafəl]; literally "Protection Squadron") was a major **paramilitary organization** under Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP; Nazi Party). It **began** with a small guard unit known as the Saal-Schutz ("Hall-Protection") made up of NSDAP **volunteers** to provide **security for Nazi PARTY meetings** in Munich. In 1925, Heinrich Himmler joined the unit, which had by then been reformed and given its final name. Under Himmler's direction (1929–45), it grew from a small paramilitary formation to one of the most powerful organizations in the Third Reich. From 1929 until Nazi Germany's collapse in 1945, the SS was the foremost **agency of surveillance AND terror** within Germany and German-occupied Europe.* - Wikipedia

Surveillance AND terror, what a combination

True dat

The data protection commissioner needs to speak up. Shouting "national security" is not sufficient to dig in emails or listen to phone calls. They need to cite specific information that makes them believe this is a national security issue. "*Im at war with Nygard and Nygard paid the PLP in exchange for a lease or Nygard is in a plot with Bobo to kill me and Bobo is very close to the DPM*" is not evidence

I am of the wholehearted agreement that the Data Commissioner should be already onboard with this issue. A sitting Cabinet Minister CANNOT read from illegally obtained documents in the house and expect any protection just because he is there. I call these documents ILLEGAL because their source has not been verified and I really don't think that any of the parties involved gave them to him and other members of the PLP. Any person hearing this has to surmise that the PLP government asked or paid someone to hack into the Save The Bays (STB) system which is clearly a breach. And if they did not they need to say where the documents came from. As a democratic nation (which is really a joke!) this seriously needs to be addressed and the powers that be (not the politicians) need to set an example of the persons in breach of our laws.

The controversy has become fiercely political. However, following allegations that Mr Nygard donated $5m to the PLP in the run up to the last general election, as well as claims from the PLP that senior FNM members have connections with STB.
