You must be kidding if you think for one moment the wealthy likes of our current and former corrupt politicians, Snake, King Sebas, and so on, have now paid the mega millions in taxes that they should have been paying over many, many, years. If this were indeed the case, government would not have had to borrow another $300 million + not too long ago thereby increasing the foreign currency denominated portion of our national debt.

And for you to suggest government departments and agencies are somehow suddenly more efficient simply because roly-poly Davis says so without you pointing out the obvious untruthfulness of his remarks is beyond the pale.

> “We want to do a high level delegation to Washington, hopefully to meet with the treasury secretary, hopefully meet with State Department, certainly the Securities & Exchange Commission and some other high level financial services representatives, to really give them an idea on the level of compliance of The Bahamas, on how we excel in areas of anti-money laundering regulation, and to give them some of the objective opinions and determinations on The Bahamas so we can try to change this narrative,” said Mr Pinder.

This doofus AG Pinder, slimy Fwreddy Boy Mitchell, and roly-poly Davis, and others like them, all seem totally incapable of understanding that U.S. voters, when they spoke at the polls last November, gave President Trump a decisive mandate to do whatever it takes to protect the national security interests of the United States of America. In his first term President Trump made it abundantly clear that the U.S. simply can no longer afford to sit idly by and allow other nations by their own actions or inactions threaten vital U.S. interests no matter how loud their whining appeals about respecting sovereign or human rights may become.

These three dimwits (Pinder, Mitchell and Davis) are putting their longing for public attention above the social, economic, and security interests of the Bahamian people by seeking to inflame an already very annoying pimple on the backside of the now angry elephant that sits on top of us.

Bluntly put, U.S. citizens have every right to expect their country not to be threatened or put in harms way as a result of the many failings of our own nation. For decades Bahamian voters have been electing extremely corrupt, incompetent and most unfit individuals to public office with the result being a financially unstable and crippled small nation overridden by illegal aliens, violent gang activities, including drug trafficking, human trafficking, arms trafficking, etc., not to mention the many other with serious consequences of dreadful social and economic policies, including our corrupt legal system that now only works to help grow the great divide between the 'few haves' and the 'many have nots' in our now predominantly impoverished society.

And, as if the above were not enough, our nation has gone out of its way to antagonize the U.S. government by cosying up to the evil ChiComs keen desire to establish a strategic stronghold for their intelligence gathering and other activities, including planned military use of of islands and territorial waters, in ways that threaten the national security interests of the U.S.

All not good for a nation very dependent on U.S. tourists with many of us wishing to remain able to easily obtain a visa to travel to the U.S. Pinder, Mitchell, and Davis, need serious reminding of where our nation stands on the global ladder. Our rung and pecking order is far below where these three clowns think it is.

Think about it. Why would any Bahamian cast a vote in support of a Pintard led FNM government if Pintard is really no different than tyrant Minnis and roly-poly Davis when it comes to his view of government allowing de facto monopoly control over our nation's vital energy sector to be given to a wealthy and powerful small group of individuals with Shell Oil as their 'enabling' business partner?

Pintard really needs to grow a 'pair' and emphatically tell Snake, his cabal, and Shell Oil, that they will not be allowed to gain and keep monopoly control over our country's energy sector with no voice of the Bahamian people in the matter, no proper consideration of alternative solutions, no procurement/bidding processes, and no regard for the ongoing stability and security of our nation as viewed not only by Bahamians, but also by the United States as our most important ally and economic partner within the context of the Trump administration's much wider national security concerns for the Caribbean region as a whole.

Pintard is essentially admitting here that the previous FNM government led by tyrant Minnis was just as corrupt as the current PLP government led by roly-poly Davis in its shady and most crooked backroom deals involving Shell Oil and the sinister, conniving and insatiably greedy cabal of marauders led by the evil fork-tongued Snake.

But Pintard steadfastly refuses to announce to the Bahamian people, in no uncertain terms, that any government led by him would immediately declare unconstitutional and illegal all agreements relating to the planned monopolization of our nation's energy sector by Snake and his cabal using leverage provided by one or more US and other subsidiaries of Shell Oil PLC.

There is no gas more stink and harmful to our nation than that which the very incompetent and corrupt roly-poly Davis all too frequently emits from both his mouth and rear-end with or without the help of beans.

The real problem is too many Bahamians are now unable to properly read and comprehend anything written thanks to decades of the very deliberate dumbing-down of our public education system by incompetent and corrupt politicians who very much desire an uneducated and undiscerning electorate lacking in critical thinking skills.

Such dumbed-down voters are all too easily manipulated, swayed, and hood-winked, as the unqualified, unfit, selfish and greedy politicians they foolishly vote for go about lining their own pockets by selling-off our nation and selling-out its people to their very wealthy cronies and financial backers.

Yup.

I'm very much in your camp bro.

During a joint press conference in Georgetown, Guyana following the signing today of an enhanced Memorandum of Understanding between the US and Guyana, His Excellency President Dr Irfaan Ali affirmed to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio that the United States of America stands as Guyana’s most trusted partner, with a relationship rooted in shared values, mutual trust, and an unwavering commitment to the rule of law and the principles of international order.

The MoU allows both nations to consolidate their bilateral agenda by defining policies and outlining clear intentions in areas such as security, trade, energy, investments, infrastructure, democracy, regional peace and stability, and human capital deployment and development.

In responding to a reporter's question, Secretary Rubio hinted that the US government will be working (partnering) with Guyana and the US corporate giant Exxon Mobile to help ensure Guyana's oil & gas reserves are used to bring energy security to the Caribbean basin nations. Many Caribbean nations are currently relying on oil & gas sourced from Venezuela, often via Trinidad, to meet the fuel needs of their energy sector. In doing so, these Caribbean nations with the help of non-US oil companies are contravening sanctions imposed by the US on the evil Maduro dictatorship regime.

I suspect the US government already has a rather thick dossier on the insatiably greedy Snake as a result of his track record of 'mistreating' US citizens lured into his real estate development projects in South Eleuthera. No doubt Snake's latest conniving and strong arm tactics to commandeer control of our nation's entire energy sector, in cahoots with certain corrupt elected officials and the British oil company Shell, will not sit well with the Trump administration and what it has planned to help restore financial stability and security to the Caribbean region.
