At this point, how long will the US will allow the Bahamas to go unpunished with our antics?

I mean, we all take everything for granted. So as painful as it sounds and feels like, sanctions or two would put some sense of mortality back in our society.

Roland's legacy is bathed in corruption and that's something that needs to be done. His involvement tainted the reputation of the country.

What makes the case of Lynden's legacy even worst for us is that he broke the chains off of black people, yet he enslaved us to the drug cartels that ran their smugglers through our waters, revolutionized the Bahamian drug trade, and killed 3,000 people. Yet NO ONE hits out on the PLP on anything on that.

If anything. I hope Trump would finally see the corruption of the Bahamas, and sends his military to end this dark crusade once and for all. Lynden's legacy is over!

From what it looks like, Four C's boats ran for years like this, and no explosions.

So the owner's telling us that the fuel tank was never checked on for any problem and ran normally until now? Why does this country play with cheap products that endanger everyone like this?

Alas. This will throw up another travel warning, and Four C's lack of regulation and now insurance will greatly cost the company, and tourism overall.

Then again, what happens after we say no and they back off? We're still screwed anyways.

Then God needs for us to signal a wake up call. We're stuck benefiting from crime and so blind to our problems. A terrorist attack could be just what the Bahamas needs to see the error of how we do in life.

Seriously?

it's better to tell us on National Security's own flaws. Good to see that Dames is aware of how porous these borders are.

Now, will he improve the police and RBDF to effectively combat these groups?

Even with us. Then what?

As long as the drug war continues without interruption, Bahamians will never be free. Our drug war is fueled by our greed, and that curse fuels that war.

Foreigners aren't to blame for our issues. We as black people or just any Bahamian overall following Lynden should had known better from that deal that secured Norman's Cay. We've pushed ourselves to this situation, and we must undo it.

Ah. Blaming the white people for your mistakes. Blaming America for your short comings.

The problem is that Bahamians can't swallow their own pride and admit their mistakes were created by them alone. Lynden was the very same Bahamian who introduced us to the drug trade by Carlos Lehder, the drug lord for the Medellin Drug Cartel, which Pablo Escobar was the very first drug kingpin in cartel history to use the Caribbean, and the first spot for drug running came from Norman's Cay, in Exuma.

So, you may think that the cartels are using other routes to the US. You're correct. However. The public is blind to what is really going on in our waters or in ports. The gangs are still here, evolving more and more on smuggling. A dealer or gang leader can make friends with more wealthy smugglers, help them get the drugs to the US covertly and get paid. In turn, they create their own smuggling routes into the Bahamas to sell cocaine to their friends in the inner-city. And they can make sure that no one knows about it.

I mean, what's the bet that drug dealers and gang leaders have a upper-class home with a military armory loaded with rifles, light machine guns, sidearms, and even a grenade launcher or a rocket launcher too? No police efforts have exposed how easy and profitable the Bahamian drug trade is compared to other countries. You can get easily killed in Columbia. easily tracked by the DEA in the US, or practically all the above in other places.

Except the Bahamas. We have a paralyzed and outnumbered police force, we have the RBDF pacified for PR stunts. Everything else is rendered useless against this drug war.

3,000 Bahamians killed in a 30 year span in a 7x21 island, all because of the drug deal and how incompetent the political system is. There's no one else to blame but Bahamians who condone hiding criminals, and allowing money launderers to work legally. This is exclusively our fault for ruining the nation.

Look at this now, this all shows the evidence.

This is the rise of the new narco-state of the Bahamas. Gang warfare is nearing its zenith, the sense of fear is at the highest, the government and the number boys' money laundering molding the economics to pave way for the Mexican Drug Cartels to enter into the Bahamas. We had our 400 years of slavery. Lynden was the worst of all the Prime Ministers. He broke away from slavery, yet doomed us all for the Drug Cartels to create a new narco-empire for themselves.

The crossroads of fate now align today. Will the Bahamians realize that they're destroying their land alone, and fight to undo Lynden's corrupted legacy? Or will our government and society continue to blame our problems on non-existent slavery and dying racism, while drug lords and their cartels march on to the Bahamas.

Should that happen, the biggest losers will be the majority.

Good grief. Can someone from the UK House of Parliament tell Minnis that he's making a mockery out of a system? It doesn't make any sense to fire others for having a difference in opinion.

Someone yet again, bricks democracy.
