BiminiRick... I agree with you. But who were the Bahamian people suppose to vote for??? The FNM and the PLP are the same thing. The FNM would have conducted secret dredging in Bimini and other islands aswell. We really have no choice but to throw our support behind the DNA.
My question is.... how is it that Darron Cash and Dr. Hubert Minnis were so forth coming in their complaints and allegations against the police force, yet, in the wake of this so called "agreement," everything seems to be clouded in secrecy??? Why didn't they call another press conference at FNM headquarters the way they did when this story first broke??? Now both of them have turned mute on the issue while Darron Cash hides behind his lawyer, Carl Bethel, who himself is just another political prankster and sycophant. Secondly, how is Darron Cash satisfied with the fact that his possessions still remain in police custody??? If that's the case... then Mr Cash himself has just validated and given credibility to the police's initial actions. But then again.... how can police officers enter a private residence without a warrant, confiscate personal belongings, and use those belongings as evidence in an investigation??? Isn't that against the law??? I guess not. Otherwise, the items should have been returned. If police investigators are still in possession of Mr Cash's laptop and cell phone and he's satisfied with this fact, then this suggest that either he or his wife are in breech of the law and is seeking to cooperate with authorities. This story reeks of corruption and scandal.
It's nice that Mr Darron Cash got gratification, satisfaction, and closure in this matter. But I sure wish he would disclose how this was accomplished. There are lots of families that are victims of these types of situations involving police; not to mention police brutality. So where is the legal recourse for them? I guess you need political influence to get justice in the Bahamas.
Politicians in the Bahamas realize that it will take longer than their lifetime to correct the problems plaguing our nation. It will take at least fifteen years to up-root the bed of corruption that exist in government and national security. Furthermore, it would take pure, unadulterated **honesty** to do so. And as we all know, Bahamians are not an honest people. So rather than embracing the patriotic creed of "God and Country," politicians have opted-out and decided to divi-up the country's wealth amongst themselves (or what's left of it). They know they've got five years to borrow as much money as possible while deceitfully justifying the reason...... then, using white-collar theft practices, they skim profits from the top. As a result, false promises, failed project, incompetent excuses, and plain ole- fashion lies are the order of the day. The way they see it, it's the next government's problem. But the saddest thing of all is.... the people and the citizens of the Bahamas don't have enough sense, or know-how, to save themselves. Instead, every Election Day they go and vote in a ham and turkey government.
Everyone's complaining... but on Election Day the majority of Bahamians vote for these clowns. Y'all really think that Shane Gibson and the PLP are going to initiate health insurance for poor, black Bahamian people??? Keep waiting then.
So let me get this straight. One one hand, Kenred Dorsett is advocating for the stewardship of our environment; and then on the other hand, he's secretly engaged in efforts to dredge up coral reefs in Bimini and Grand Bahama? This is a classic example of the type of hypocrisy plaguing our nation. Crooked politicians with delusions of grandeur trying to align their own pockets; all behind the backs of poor Bahamian people. If it weren't for the good people of these two islands, beautiful coastal reefs that makes for good snorkeling while maintaining the ecological balance of our waters would have been destroyed. And it would have occurred without most of us knowing. Don't get me wrong... we all applaud any clean-up efforts by our youths; but when I see these politrickans politricking and pretending as though they're fooling someone while exercising their ulterior motives, it vexes me.
One of the major reasons why our nation has so many problems is due to corruption in high branches of government and national security. So what does our Prime Minister do??? He establishes another clandestine organization, shrouded in secrecy, with the ability to violate every constitutional right possible. And what's so funny is... in any democratic, sovereign country, the branches of government that exist must establish the reason for their existence; the manner in which their services are to be rendered to the state; and their limits to power. Furthermore, it must be presented in black and white as a form of a decree to the citizens of that country for all to see (they can be read in any law book or constitutional manual). For example... in the United States all authoritative branches of government are under either the executive branch (the president), the legislative branch (congress), or the Supreme Court. Each branch's powers are limited by the other. This is done to protect basic human rights. For example... a police officer needs either your permission or a warrant to enter your home. But here in the Bahamas, the government does as they wish without any laws to govern their actions, or no legal recourse to aid their victims. Now I know some readers are going to say that the Bahamas is not the United States. But at the same time, I fear that we are becoming a banana republic.
NIA??? Don't make me laugh. I'm guessing that this is suppose to be the Bahamian version of the United State's CIA??? It's more like an inversion! What a joke. In case people haven't realized, there is nothing about this country that exemplifies intelligence. Especially coming from a branch of government. They can't even get a dump fire under control. Thanks for another good laugh Perry.
