Yes, yes a comrade's discharging 'shit' warnings about Freeport's newest in bed partnership with Imperial red shirts governing regime have now failed environmental sniff test certified by another government who should know them best, yes, no.... And, how is commish Policeman's search for the OBAN Report now gone 'missing' for one long year in time from the protective custody Imperial red shirts cabinet's custody, yes, no..... And, does Queens Colony of Out Island's actually employ an environmental minister act on discharging 'shit' stuff in we waters in name we beloved Queen's crown, yes, no.... And, I guess it "it depends on what the meaning of 'missing' ‘is’ is, yes, no?

No

And yet the Bahamas are granting these companies permission to build their own private ports throughout the country when they do not have the means or the manpower to monitor their activities in port or out-to-sea. And if they are conducting themselves in this callous and reckless manner. Are we willing to sacrifice our marine resources and mass pollution by giving in to the cruise ships demands for private port facilities? In some parts of the world marine resources are already presenting with diseases and other anomolities including cancerous tumours due to high levels of pollution. So how much more dumping or how much longer before the seafood starts making people sick? Conch is already an endangered species. And conch poisoning, because of their feeding habits is already too common.

Yes, yes, luckily Colony of Out Island's governing Imperials intelligence hasn't reached level sufficient espionage experience to cause a US Environmental Assessment Report to explainable go 'missing' from protective custody foreign government, yes, no...... And. there is outstanding OBAN matter we commish policeman's after a long year investigation confesses he has not damn clue where it gone 'missing' yes, no.... And, what did current minister environment know - and how far back, about "shit' stuff dumped into our Colony of Out Islands waters, yes, no.... was 'shit' matters even brought up before the signing of Letter of Intent, yes, no?

It can't be any clearer. These big monstrosities of water hotels don't value our country and the beauty that it has to offer. Instead, they're going out of there way to destroy our ecosystem because they darn right don't care. The carnival and we're sure many other cruise ships do the same thing. We have managed to give them multi-million dollar cays and pretty much everything that they have asked and they still literally "shit" on us. They need to be banned indefinitely!

Yes, yes it is this knee high in 'shit' bunch comrade Imperial red shirts entire contingent "FREE" port and surrounding constituencies under failed representation Imperial red shirts MP's and political appointees - have now officially been placed on crutches by 82.99% so many thousands disappointed 2017 red shirts voters,yes, no.... seems everything red shirts touches does eventually turns into separate piles 'shit' - yes, no... Shouldn't "FREE" porters be told if this 'shit' matter was even brought up before any Letter of Intent's signings. yes, no......... And, now we know why Seller the Grand Lucayan Hotel wanted keep all opened and unopened rolls toilet papers for they own crap wiping selves, yes, no?

Uh, Tal ... you seem to imply that there were no cruise ships or crooked hotel deals in the Bahamas when the Yellow Shirts held sway. Uh ... yeah ... sure.

How many MP’s do you now have? 3? 4? ROFLMAO.

Yes, yes ma comrade Clamshell. the toilet papers plot suspicion had have been there all the while cause why else would've Grand Lucayan Hotel's seller Whampoa been so determined repossess every single opened and unopened rolls toilet papers, yes, no,,,,, And ma comrade, you does understand that the repossessed ALL rolls opened and unopened toilet papers out Grand Lucayan is not a story I just made up, yes, no?

Somehow, Tal, I think the toilet paper is the least of the issues in that hotel deal. Although I can understand that the staff might have felt cheated out of what is a Bahamian worker’s right — the right to loot a distressed property of everything that’s not nailed down.

If somebody cheated you and the PLP out of a half-roll of toilet paper that you felt you
deserved, you have my condolences. Post your address here, I’ll send you an 8-pack. 🤣

Yes, yes IT IS ma Comrade Clamshelly that fundamentally I don't think the 15,936 voting in red shirts MP's in "FREE" port and outlining constituencies - had in their 2017 voting mindsets that what Imperial red shirts MP's and political appoints will begins do immediately out red gates will be no more, less or worser than did those 'terrible' PLP MP's and political appoints, yes, no..... And, don't you think our beloved Queen Liz will eventually move constitutionally retake back her "FREE" port as one her own Out Island colonies, yes, no?

No. Queen Elizabeth, who is 93 years old, could not possibly care less about a moldy old hotel in Freeport, Bahamas. Or the rolls of toilet paper that have you so vexed.

It is patently obvious: Cruise ships have to be regulated, monitored, controlled and penalized heavily for violations. As they grow bigger and carry more passengers and supplies out to sea, the potential for pollution also increases. Seven to Eight Thousand persons on a cruise for seven days creates thousands of gallons of waste water, garbage and sludge. Should there be environmental levy fees? Should ships be required to pay for waste and sewerage at every port to which they call. Because if they have none to dispose off so what did they do with it? Left it floating out on the ocean somewhere or pumped into the water to feed some hungry grouper?

The court report shows how futile trying to regulate them is. This was all part of a period they were supposedly under watch/probation event. The judge will give them no real punishment. The only solution is to ban them permanently from the Bahamas, an ideally in concert with other island nations too.

Just about any private pilot who has been flying for years will tell you they have witnessed many instances, going as far back as the late 1970s, of Carnival's cruise ships dumping tons of untreated refuse in our once pristine waters. I have taken many aerial photographs over the years from my plane showing the long plumes of dark brown refuse trailing for miles in the wake of Carnival's cruise ships while in our waters. And I'm sure I'm not the only private pilot with such photographs. Our government should be suing Carnival for damages to our environment, among other things, rather than granting them approvals or concessions of any kind for their proposed development projects anywhere in our country.

The government should be kicking them of the Bahamas for good along with the other cruise lines. And the court should impound one of their ships for security against damages/fines to prevent them just fleeing justice. If it ends up being less than the value of the ship, or they are innocent of all the allegations of dumping, they can have the ship back upon payment of the damages and fines or upon being found not guilty of all of this.

We surrender all pretense of legal and economic soverignty if the current cruise ship status quo continues. Clearly laws and regulations mean nothing if they can get away with all this. If breaking their US probation rules mean nothing, then we are a rule of the cruise ships, not of democracy and law. I mean if that's what people want, then lets just be honest about it.

Yes, yes ma comrade Concerned799, be's weary foreigners bearing gifts whom possess Letter of Intent's in pocket from Imperial red shirts cabinet - who start handing out cheques to sponsor that thing, or that person(s)....... didn't OBAN, not demonstrate such giving community spirit with the writing $10,000 donation cheque to a "FREE" port Junkanoo group, yes, no..... Baffles mind's many a "FREE" porter, why you would expect them believes a damn anything red promised after the now exposed 'fake signature' setup right in PMO, yes, no .... the reds knew upfront that the OBAN signatory was damn FAKE, yes, no?

I’m sure you were able to see Russia interfering in the US Elections from your plane. Also you had a test kit on board that you discharged remotely to determine that it was raw sewage being dumped.

I suspect you don't know many (if any) local pilots who have been flying between NAS and South Florida airports (MIA, FLL, FXE, etc.) with some regularity over the last 3 or 4 decades. And as for why you don't appreciate that treated refuse is seldom dark brown in colour is beyond me. LMAO

DEY NEEDS TO REVIEW.........DIS .....TOUCH AN FEEL DA TREMENDOUS WORK...of national progress in pipeline.... ...if Bahamians an TOURISTS gon go on da beach an swim in garbage.....dead sea creatures trapped in plastics....eating plastics....pollutin....oils...fats....greases....washing into mangroves breeding areas....killing corals......whales passing through eating plastics......OTHER EXAMPLES.....IS da plastics an garbage on da soith shores of Dominica Republic.....begs question which ships frequent Republic Dominica south shores areas an who likely doing dis huge mess....??????

I can't help but recall how the PM was literally grinning like a Cheshire cat when one of the cruise lines was given the ok by Eleuthera residents wearing this bowl of porridge tastes good t-shirts.

Carnival is in the news because they got caught. Sometime within the last 3 years I recall someone defending the cruise lines in this comment space saying these dumping incidents dont happen anymore because the cruise lines are being more closely monitored. Lo and behold, uncovered in internal emails, all the while carnival was just trying to find ways to beat the audits.

800 dumping incidents cited between 2015 and 2017. This is not a mistake. This is a pattern of F these islands we can do what we want. It's not our back yard anyway.

This is my main problem with this sole reliance on the foreigner to save us, they don't care about us or our environment if there's a big environmental disaster they'll pick up their boat or hotel and move it to Malta. We need to have a ficused deliberate strategy to balance this foreign investment against Bahamian innovation

It's too bad we have an administration in place that is desperate and fooled by evety white foreigner. Because I don't think there'd be the same giveaway for a group of wealthy Africans. Oban is only a small window into just how far they will go to sell us off. Only God knows what else they will give to save us from being like Haiti. We haven't seen the WTO terms yet.

Well IT IS our backyard and the Bahamas sets the rules. Its so simple really. Do we want dumping cruise ships that bring little money to the real economy or a land based hotel economy that is accountable to the people and the laws of the land?

And if you want the latter, just kick out the former and reclaim the country, its all not even hard to do to, just invite them to leave and pay their fines on the way out.

Had nohhingvto do with Kennedy. This story was out since last week. I made two posts about it. Was surprised it wasn't a bigger story and st the time I only knew about the Alaska dumping. That was concerning enough

Carnaval finally got caught but there are many others just as guilty. The Bahamas as a major transit point for shipping is being indiscriminately dumped on daily!

We need to charge these ships a transit fee sufficient enough to allow us to "properly" police our waters.

Consecutive PLP and FNM administrations were too inept to even think about these things. Let us see what spineless and crew will do!

And it is just not the commercial cruise liners, but many private pleasure and fishing craft discharge untreated waste and contaminants into the ocean. And garbage (and poop) floats up on the beaches and they Blame locals.

The so called environment bosses passed this one they were in the news. saying how
great it all is, What is in this for them?, What say you Joe?? And what does the Drama
King has to say??
