Listen... Dr Hubert Minnis was brief, and definitive in his judgement of John Bostwick. Furthermore, he did the RIGHT thing. He did not leave the public waiting and wondering. These are fundamental traits consistent with leadership. Attend any job seminar and they'll tell you that.

Don't get me wrong. I know that my above mentioned comments seem bias towards the FNM. But truth be told, I neither support the FNM or PLP. It just really vexes me when Bahamian politicians feed the citizen of our country nonsense, and expect us to believe it. Their comments, reasoning, and excuses are just indirect ways of calling Bahamian people fools. They insult our intelligence every time they open their mouths.

Dear Mr Mitchell.....first of all, the average Bahamian dose not have the necessary resources required to prove that you politicians are liars and have indeed been spying on the Bahamian public. So it's easy for you to demand proof of action, especially when your government does everything in secrecy and clandestancy. As a matter of fact, investigative reporters themselves have difficulties uncovering certain truths regarding government day to day operations. People only become aware of political crimes after each action becomes manifest and the motives behind these actions are exposed... and by this time, it's usually too late (just ask the people of Bimini).
Second of all, it's amazing that whenever the PLP is caught up in their usual scandal, they always try to divert the attention away from themselves by placing the blame on the FNM. This type of strategy is what the PLP has become known for, and is classic, typical "plantation politics" (muddy the water in order to confuse the fish). The truth of the matter is; the Bahamas government has been spying on the Bahamian people, only to find that the United States government has been spying on them! Furthermore, the idea that Hubert Ingrham and the FNM initiated a program for NSA to intercept phone calls, is ridiculous. The Bahamas government fell under the radar of the DEA and CIA after Ronald Eagan declared a "war on drugs" during the drug running regime of Sir Lynden Pindling's PLP back in the 70's and 80's. During this time a number of Bahamian politicians were indicted. However, an extradition treaty with the United States did not exist yet. Ever since then, the U.S. has been spying on us and monitoring telephone calls. They're doing it to every country in the world for crying out loud! Yet, Fred Mitchell expects us to believe that this isn't the case. Instead, he wants us to believe that spying on the Bahamian people by the U.S. first started with Hubert Ingrham and the FNM. Get real Fred! The United States has been spying on us since Sir Lynden Pindling and the PLP allowed Joe Leadher to operated a cocaine hub in Normans Cay!

The FNM did the right thing. It was the honorable and dignified thing to do. Dr Hubert Minnis deserves to be commended for displaying such leadership and decision-making skills. He was concise and decisive. I doubt that Perry and the PLP would have shown such class and professionalism.

Cobalt says...

Yeah but when they get in trouble, they always ask the US to intervene. Just saying

Cobalt says...

Lol

Cobalt says...

In case you haven't realized, there is no difference between the FNM or PLP. Thus, I am neither.

Cobalt says...

You are right. Point taken.

That's what the government would have us believe. But as we all know... this so call major investment will not yield any benefits for Bahamian people. The last major investment that yielded job opportunities for the Bahamian people was the mega construction of Atlantis. Since then, every foreign investor that has come to the Bahamas has either pulled-out or decided against investing in the Bahamas. Like every foreign investment company, once their pockets begins to take a hit, they leave the Bahamas only to leave damage in their wake. What's going to happen to Bimini once these investors pull-out??? By then, Perry and his boys would have already gotten their cut of money so they won't care. And the people of Bimini will be left with unemployment and a damaged marine environment. But then again... I think the people of Bimini voted PLP... didn't they???
