It is painfully obvious that this clown Bowe is a big time proponent of all the following:

1) More taxes on the already struggling Bahamian people and their businesses;

2) Bigger government as a means of reducing unemployment and growing a social welfare
state;

3) Higher inflation that naturally results from more taxes on businesses and more social welfare
spending by a bigger government; and

4) Doing whatever foreign globalists demand without regard to our nation's own sovereign
interests and the well-being of the Bahamian people.

In short, Bowe has revealed himself here to be a far left leaning socialist of the globalist variety (bordering on Marxist), as opposed to a sensible progressive in the conventional sense. Has he become a card carrying member of the CCP?

Most of us remember only too well how Bowe vociferously supported the introduction of VAT and the later increase in the rate of VAT, all under the guise of an urgent need to actually start paying down the balance of our national debt. He later conveniently joined the chorus of our spendthrift incompetent and wasteful politicians when they began singing, "No, no, we never meant for VAT to actually pay down the balance of the national debt, what we really meant was that VAT was needed to help slow down the pace of growth of the national debt." Talk about selling the Bahamian people a worthless promise!

It is no coincidence that all of these power failures are occurring around the time when crooks like Snake, Anthony Ferguson and Eric Pike are seeking to literally steal majority ownership and control of vital national assets owned by BPL, for mere pennies on the dollar of true value, in secret back-room deals with a very small group of certain senior government officials led by corrupt PM Davis.

**Mpox Pathogenesis**

Mpox is a self-limiting disease, and the severity of infection can be influenced by various factors, such as the specific viral strain, individual immune status, and potential complications that may arise. Common early symptoms of Mpox virus infection include pain, fever, fatigue, and lymphadenectasis, with significant inguinal lymphadenectasis often observed. The presence of lymphadenectasis can help to distinguish Mpox virus infection from other orthopoxviruses infection. Furthermore, understanding the transmission mode is essential in establishing effective measures to combat Mpox. Following exposure to the respiratory secretions or body fluids of Mpox patients, the Mpox virus enters nearby tissues through mucous membranes (such as ocular, respiratory, oral, urethral, and rectal) or broken skin. It then spreads throughout the body via tissue-resident immune cells and draining lymph nodes. This constitutes the latent period for Mpox virus infection, which typically lasts up to two weeks. Throughout this period, individuals infected with Mpox are generally asymptomatic and devoid of lesions. Following the latent period, individuals infected with Mpox virus begin to exhibit atypical symptoms, including fever and chills, headache, muscle pain, and lymphadenectasis. These initial prodromal symptoms of Mpox typically last for three days. After the fever and lymphadenectasis, rashes begin to appear on the head and face, and gradually spread throughout the body. The rash evolves from papules to vesicles and pustules, and ultimately forming crusts that heal, leaving behind scars. This progressive rash phase lasts about 2–4 weeks. In the current outbreak of Mpox among men who have sex with men (MSM), some unusual clinical signs have been observed with rashes appearing primarily around the genital or anal area and subsequently spreading throughout the body. Severe cases of Mpox virus infection can lead to complications such as hemorrhagic disease, necrotic disease, obstructive disease, inflammation of vital organs, and septicemia. ***The case fatality rate of Mpox in non-epidemic regions during 2022 was ~0.04%.*** Immunocompromised individuals, including children, older adults, and those with immunodeficiencies (such as HIV patients and individuals using immunosuppressive medications), are more susceptible to experiencing these severe manifestations. In addition, immunocompromised individuals are more likely to contribute to the evolution of Mpox, making it increasingly adaptable to human hosts and resulting in widespread transmission.

We all know what you mean.....not a word coming out Darville's mouth can ever be trusted.

Same goes for any senior official speaking on behalf of the CCP controlled WHO.

And the U.S. government seems unable to rein in evil state actors predisposed to waging bio warfare and controlling human behavioural responses to fear, especially around US presidential election time, not to mention the sinister likes of wannabe bad scientists funded by multi-billionaire Bill Gates.

JoBeth is now the main mouth piece and carrier of water for the very corrupt likes of Snake, Anthony Ferguson and Eric Pike, whom together with their equally corrupt partners in government, like PM Davis, have conducted a monumental heist of our national energy sector assets like no other. The fraud perpetrated here on the Bahamian people cannot be allowed to remain.

All of this has all been in the making for decades with the intent of enabling certain of our corrupt government officials, at the most senior levels, to both justify and participate in the brazen theft of a controlling interest in BPL's assets by a crooked and greedy cabal of marauders led by Snake, Anthony Ferguson and Eric Pike.

The Bahamian people get stuck with all the debts of BPL/BEC and exorbitant electricity bills to come, while the crooked cabal of thieves get a clean slate and controlling possession of most of the revenues produced by a utility monopoly vital to our national security interests.

And make no mistake about it, Pintard and his fellow FNM parliamentarians will share responsibility with the corrupt Davis led PLP government for the entire mess to come because of their support of the new electricity legislation that facilitated this outrageous heist of our national assets for mere pennies on the dollar of true value. Pintard should have long ago announced that any future government led by him would immediately unwind this heist of national assets and properly deal with all issues relating to BPL in a fully transparent manner.

Hard to believe that a lowly grade of 'D' is considered to be the minimum passing grade for a BJC exam in any of the subjects offered. Even harder to believe that only 1948 of the 10745 BJC candidates received grades of D or above in five or more subjects.

My niece who was a teacher at one of the private schools here in Nassau and now teaches seventh grade at a public school in Georgia told me last year that a student's academic level would have to be regarded as unacceptably deficient if they could not achieve at least a grade of 'B' in five or more of the BJC subjects, including mathematics, English language and combined science.

It is also difficult to believe that only 653 of the 5,935 BGCSE candidates received a passing grade of C or higher in at least five subjects.

And to think the very loud-mouthed, incompetent and looney Hanna-Martin would have us believe these statistics are evidence of a positive trend. What a joke when you consider that the difficulty of both the BJC and BGCSE exams has been so watered-down in recent years in a deceitful effort to cover-up the dismal state of our nation's education system by portraying rosier statistics that have no grounding in reality.

Sadly, John Rolle as Central Bank Governor cannot pass gas without first getting the consent of PM Davis as Minister of Finance to go ahead and fart.

"weather", not "whether"

This brain-dead arse has many much more important things he should be doing for the Bahamian people with his time as AG !!

> Through our communications with the parties involved,.......

Why are The Tribune and BNT reluctant to name the owner(s) of the two vessels and confirm to the public whether the licensing and insurance required by law are in place?

And why has the cabinet minister responsible for environmental matters not said a peeping word to the public about this disastrous incident?
