Just give the damn iPhone to the FBI.

Apple long ago gave US security and intelligence agencies a back door through which access could be gained to data stored on all of its products, including iPhones. This back door is built into every Apple product in exchange for its right to have FCC approved access to the internet and the networks of Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and many other ISP and mobile service providers.

LMAO. That's because you @birdie like very corrupt Vomit Christie and equally corrupt Stumpy Davis just love kissing the butt of the ChiComs who have full control over Baha Mar, Sandy Sands and the Valley Boys.

Baha Mar should be made to pay for its electricity at the same outrageously high rates that most Bahamians and their businesses will be charged by BPL if the corrupt cabal of marauders led by the conniving and very greedy Snake are allowed to seize control of our nation's entire energy sector for pennies on the dollar of its true value and with no regard to the national security considerations and implications involved.

Simply unbelievable! Sandy Sands gets to meet with the energy minister (corrupt JoBeth) to make sure his employer (Baha Mar) will continue to receive their electricity bills at concession rates subsidized by the much higher electricity rates most Bahamians and Bahamian-owned businesses will be charged by BPL because the less than 800 kWh consumption level eligible for the discount rate is much, much too low.

LMAO......so much so that my ribs are hurting.

And who do think is responsible for the creation of the lazy dumbed-down mindless masses you speak of? The corrupt super wealthy in the private sector and their mutual beneficial unholy alliance with our corrupt politicians is the root cause of the crony capitalism that greatly enriches only a few in our society while denying opportunities for everyone else. The elites like cheap labour but not competition.

Whether you care to acknowledge it or not, most Bahamians have become victims of a hideous form of neo-feudalism evidenced by the enormous and ever increasing divide between the few "haves" and the many "have nots" in our society. The lack of a fair and level playing field is by design of the few "haves" who are in cahoots with our corrupt politicians to deny as many impoverished Bahamians as possible the opportunities necessary to escape the clutches of poverty. Our nation would be much better off with a much greater number of Bahamians enjoying opportunities to improve their quality of life as opposed to being reduced to cheap labour for the few feudal lords.

Crony capitalism facilitated by corrupt politicians inefficiently distributes capital and robs others of the equal opportunities they should have to create and spread wealth throughout a society.

Rumour on the street has it that The Tribune's owners and management have been told by Bahamian law enforcement officials to "lock down" all future public comments by its online readers about this developing story.

This is nothing more than the US government and greedy US corporations seeking to regain full control over our sovereign airspace for their own economic benefit. They are literally willing to rob our nation of the very same kind of revenues the US government charges foreign airlines that make use of its own airspace.

And of course US intelligence agencies have a thick dossier on Chester the Chester that leaves him seriously compromised in his ability to negotiate any type of fair arrangement for the use of our airspace by foreign commercial aircraft.

Yeah, right. And I suppose our unemployment rate is now less than 4% and our national debt is rapidly declining to zero. LMAO

The 50% of NCP owned by Bahamians is locked up in a so called Bahamas Sovereign Wealth Fund that is being bled to death by fees of every kind imposed by the greedy Bahamian vultures who own CFAL and who promote Public-Private-Partnerships as a means to fleece the Bahamian public of valuable national assets like the downtown port for mere pennies on the dollar of true value. And you can bet that 50% Bahamian ownership of NCP ends up being held by the small number of controlling vultures when all is said and done. The de facto giveaway of the Nassau cruise port by our corrupt politicians was never intended to spread economic wealth to a great number of Bahamians.

And now our corrupt politicians are wheeling and dealing with the greedy Snake and his cabal of marauders who seeking to gain control of BPL's power generation and grid distribution assets for mere pennies on the dollar of true value using Public-Private-Partnerships that will result in BPL/BEC's debts being socialized and borne by Bahamian taxpayers while all of the upside profits from an energy sector monopoly go into the pockets Snake and his cabal.
