This is the worst possible time to be given promotions to any public servant. The private sector that pays the public sector are losing jobs left and right and the powers that be thinks it is ok to increase the demand on the public purse at this time.

Are you humane? Where is your heart? Where is your compassion? Do you have a soul?...

Seriously?

Yes, most seriously.

Minnis has just spit in the face of the Bahamian people, showing them who's the boss calling all the shots and now able to do whatever he wants to do. And if the Bahamian people don't like it, well that's just too damn bad! Furthermore, any Bahamian who doesn't behave and dares to get upperty now risks being locked up for a long time. Welcome all Bahamians, to the new police state you now live in!

There can be no possible justification whatsoever for these promotions at a time like this when so many Bahamians are suffering and going without so much. These outrageous promotions were no doubt personally approved in advance by none other than Minnis himself. This is what tyrannical dictators do in police states like North Korea. Evil dictators always treat the armed forces in their country exceptionally well in order to curry favour with them and ensure their ongoing loyalty. I smell the scent of Red China's ruthless Xi Jinping communist regime on most of the decisions now being made by Minnis. We're in much deeper trouble than the covid-19 virus alone could ever have put us in. Hopefully the US government is very carefully monitoring what is going on here, right on its door step.

Spot on.

Clear observation where the compass points true north directional thinking the colony's comrade security minister most focused urgencies?

Yeah don't let that NEMA money that was donated for the hurricane weary go to waste on the downtrodden !

FIRE DA MAN. He is ramping up his protection. This is not funny anymore and should be viewed as a harbinger of things to come.

**Early moves rising authoritarian regimes** is threefold...secure the support of its **armed** forces. as it **restricts** PopoulacesOrdinary society's **freedom movement and speech.** Nod once for yeah, twice for no?

guess who just got raided well i guess mr ash will be supplying the booze for the party for all the new promotions

Seriously? Just yesterday we read a story where the police force said they did not have the manpower to investigate a hit-and-run traffic death in which the police had access to CCV video, an eyewitness, and the killer’s license plate number and detailed description of the car.

No wonder they can’t solve a traffic homicide where they’ve been handed every single clue — everybody is now a supervisor, nobody’s a detective.

Does nobody in power recognize what a horror this has become?

I was very disturbed over the amount, It was Marvin who roasted Brave them for a big nasty promotion, branding it top heavy. usually it more promotions the lower the rank gets, which means it may be 60 A.S P's which is sick. Other govern't agencies like Immigration has had a promotion in 10 years or more

Politics in this country is just one ongoing comedy show. I think we should give everyone else in the country a promotion as well.

And when we run out of money to pay all of these pensions, increase in salaries, and perks, whom is going to do it? Are we just going to raise taxes? We can't keep increasing everything and expect the same population to absorb the cost. This is madness!!!

A POEM FOR OUR NEW SUPREME RULER TO READ ON THE THINKING OF HIS PEOPLE:

Alas! and am I born for this,
To wear this slavish chain?
Deprived of all created bliss,
Through hardship, toil and pain!

How long have I in bondage lain,
And languished to be free!
Alas! and must I still complain--
Deprived of liberty.

Oh, Heaven! and is there no relief
This side the silent grave--
To soothe the pain--to quell the grief
And anguish of a slave?

Come Liberty, thou cheerful sound,
Roll through my ravished ears!
Come, let my grief in joys be drowned,
And drive away my fears.

**Say unto foul oppression, Cease:
Ye tyrants rage no more,**
And let the joyful trump of peace,
Now bid the vassal soar.

Soar on the pinions of that dove
Which long has cooed for thee,
And breathed her notes from Afric's grove,
The sound of Liberty.

Oh, Liberty! thou golden prize,
So often sought by blood--
We crave thy sacred sun to rise,
The gift of nature's God:

Bid Slavery hide her haggard face,
And barbarism fly:
I scorn to see the sad disgrace
In which enslaved I lie.

Dear Liberty! upon thy breast,
I languish to respire;
And like the Swan unto her nest,
I'd to thy smiles retire.

Oh, blest asylum--heavenly balm!
Unto thy boughs I flee--
And in thy shades the storm shall calm,
With songs of Liberty!

***On Liberty And Slavery***
by George Moses Horton

The very first time the phrase **As a doctor, I know only too well that**... was used by the colony's Comrade **First** amongst equals was during his very first address to the colony delivered via television on Wednesday, July 26, 2020...and here's .small sampling his very first promises to PopoulacesOrdinary as **First** amongst equals...
...**"I am not going to sugarcoat the medicine that we are going to have to take to restore our fiscal good health. As a doctor, I know only too well** that sometimes you need to deploy strong measures to get a patient’s fever to break as you seek to alleviate the symptoms and the underlying causes of ill health. There will be no renewal of contracts for emoluments which exceed $100,000 per year. To further reduce expenditure, we will reduce the number of government vehicles. Unlike the former head of government, I will be extraordinarily more vigilant in ensuring that my ministers adhere to their budgets and to financial constraints...We are in a new era of financial discipline. The former administration was addicted to luxury travel, often spending extraordinary sums of money on delegations traveling the world at great expense. **We [[redshirts]] will reduce the amount of money spent on foreign travel by government officials."**
What load &uckin# bullshit. Do stay tuned ma comrades cause I have lots more files containing **First's** promises?

Madness. What this will cost the country now and particularily in the future is unfair to the working class.

Ma comrade OMG, colony's current combined **with actual paycheques working-class** has been reduced down but **7.87** percent of adult PopoulacesOrdinary which is even wage income worst than when thousands our natives had set sail in sloops to leave shores colony to go seek work as farmhand Contract Fruit Pickers and laying railway tracks...with many remain in **exile** for rest their natural lives.
I posted often remind we selves not be so looking down on another country's nationalss forced to set sail sloops to escape financial hardships.

“... colony's current combined with actual paycheques working-class has been reduced down but 7.87 percent of adult PopoulacesOrdinary which is even wage income worst than when thousands our natives had set sail in sloops to leave shores colony to go seek work ...”

Any Tal-to-English translators on duty? Thanx.

Ma comrade Shell, I plead the **KP fifth** that you've willfully taken my post's comments out of context and conveyed an unintended message I never intended post.

Hmmm ... I think I quoted you word-for-word. Precisely word-for-word.

Well, what about KP's, word-for-wordsmith backtrackin'?

Hop on over grammeer.com see if they also offer support lessons on crown ministerial transparency?

No justification for these promotions ………. strike 3, two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning against the FNM government ……… not looking good for them in 2022.

If our new supreme ruler is allowed to have his way, there will be no national election in 2022 or at anytime soon thereafter.

The signs are not good, Mudda.......

You are all absolutely right. This is a classic step towards a totalitarian regime. Am starting to think the 'medical advisors' that the Doc keeps referring to are communist Chinese. The same folks that donated millions of dollars in anti-riot gear a few years ago to a suspiciously peaceful nation

Bingo!

The police force was top -heavy according to a report ordered by the current minister of national security.

This current promotion exercise makes no sense.You now have 23 chief superintendents when you only need 11.Do the politicians think about the fiscal state of the country when they make these decisions? 45 superintendents really?

There are other agencies of the government who have not any promotion exercises in several years.

This version of the FNM is just like the PLP in many regards.

Wait for it ma comrade Boney, what be's if it's even worse than it looks?
Say if out the **68** promoted, **13** could be nearing being retirement furlong on accumulative carry forward chunks unused years earned vacation time...with another **12** be nearing age mandatory retirement?
Out the remaining the **43,** I'm certain a further investigation can uncover other unused work benefits?
Also, it wouldn't be the first time that ** there were those dead person names included on list appointments authorized by OPM?** Not making this dead names on the list, up...I Swear!
