The problem is, while the US has made significant strides in stamping out the most blatant forms of racism, the ChiComs will never so. They are infinitely more adept and ruthless in seizing strangle-hold control of other nations (especially black nations), to achieve their domination objectives, than the US government could or would ever be with the help of its greedy corporate friends and the super billionaire class.

None of us should ever forget that the CCP has zero respect for property and human rights of any kind that they perceive would conflict with their goals and objectives. The meteoric rise of Communist China is directly attributable to western nations and their corporations foolishly not cracking down on the theft of billions and billions of dollars of intellectual property over the last four decades in exchange for access to cheap labour.

That has now come back to bite the western nations, especially the US, in the proverbial butt. And while western nations have come a long way in fighting all forms of racism, I can assure you that generations of Bahamians will come and go and none of them will ever see a black man, or even a woman of colour, be elected leader of the CCP.

We must be careful to avoid thinking the foreign policy initiatives of the ChiComs can't possibly be any worse than those of the US government. As much as we like seeing the US get a taste of its own medicine in the way it has gravely mistreated so many other nations over many decades, including the Bahamas, we must accept that the ChiComs are exponentially much more devious and evil in all their endeavours aimed at dominating the world.

I very seldom bother to waste my time reading (much less replying to) anything posted to this website by either @birdiestrachan or @TalRussell. From my standpoint, their gibberish should always just be completely ignored for what they themselves intend it to be, i.e. nothing but meaningless and uninteresting gobbledegook lacking in even amusement. Some think they are ChiCom planted robot trolls. LOL

Open your eyes wider my friend. There are signs everywhere that our government is now unduly influenced by the ChiComs, contrary to the longer term interests of the Bahamian people.

Look at the large number of major construction projects that have been financed by the ChiComs, mainly employing Chinese workers from their own mainland.

Look at the related debt trap successfully created by the ChiComs over the last two or so decades as a result of the enormous increase in our small nation's external debt associated with the ChiCom sponsored projects, which many would argue are unsuitable for our environment and true national needs.

Ask yourself why the agreements signed by our successive corrupt governments with the ChiComs contain highly secretive terms regarding the collateral put up to secure the external loans in the event of default or the need for a restructuring of the debt.

Consider why an increasing number of men at the highest levels of our elitist political ruling class now often choose to wear the modern day version of the traditional Mao suit, e.g. corrupt Vomit Christie, the very greedy Snake Wilson, and so on.

Look at the ideological indoctrination being spewed at our younger people by ChiCom institutions like the hideous propagandist Confucius Institute that surreptitiously preaches values contrary to the traditional values of Bahamians.

The ChiComs, like the world's largest corporations run by the greedy billionaire oligarchs who now control the U.S. government, never act altruistically when they set up shop in another nation. Their foreign policy goal is to rape, pillage and plunder whatever resources exist in other nations to further their own interests without regard to the interests of other nations. Ask yourself why the CCP have done little to help out Haiti. Also ask yourself why the ChiComs are not yet willing to consider funding major infrastructural projects in The Bahamas related to our energy and potable water needs.

But the great distinction that exists in the case of the ChiComs is their stated hell-bent goal and mission, borne out of 5,000 plus years of a culturally ingrained sense of entitlement, to establish an authoritarian global order over which the hierarchy of the CCP will rule supreme forever more.

That simple fact is beginning to scare the dickens out of the U.S. people and should do likewise for the Bahamian people before it's much too late.

Corrupt and greedy PM Davis and his son Christopher are in it up to their ears. Much like corrupt and greedy Allyson Maynard-Gibson and her daughter are in it up to their ears.

> D'Aguilar a/k/a the Yapping White Haired Poodle said: “It’s time for a young, energetic, full of ideas, youthful person to assume the leadership in all the parties and come up with a plan to seismically change our country. We’ve got a lot of problems and this current crop of leaders have really run out of ideas and are tired. And, as my mother used to say, it’s time for them to go home now.”

This Yapping White Haired Poodle and customs duty dodger is certainly among those he speaks of who should go home now and stay at home. Pintard needs to keep the door shut on the useless and mischievous D'Aguilar. He would bring nothing but trouble to the table of the people's business.

I am slowly beginning to understand why so many Bahamians believe that the corrupt cabal which exists in the US congress and US intelligence agencies may be of a much greater existential threat to The Bahamas than the ChiComs who have set up shop in our nation and now have control over our puppet government.

Genuine friends of our nation would not allow or assist in the cover up of criminal acts perpetrated by Bahamian government officials and other well connected members of our political ruling class. Protecting such persons only serves to leave the Bahamian people vulnerable to the severe social and economic effects of future criminal activities that will undoubtedly be committed by these very same persons.

The Bahamian people really deserve better from the US government and the US people.

Spot on!

John Ray and the liquidators based in The Bahamas have all along had the means to determine exactly who were the Bahamian beneficiaries of the fraudulent NFT transactions for the purpose of pursuing legitimate claims against them for unjust enrichment at great cost to the creditors of the estate of the FTX group.

If I had the power to do so, I would only too happily turn over to able seaman Cladwell Farrington the brand spanking new fully loaded BMW that Davis bought for himself at a cost to taxpayers of well over $200,000. There is no doubt in mind who deserves the car more.

Every Bahamian owes seaman Cladwell and the other survivors of that infamous day a debt of gratitude.

People like you are probably the reason why all three of my children decided to make their home in another country upon graduating from university.

Truly sad.

Was the male defendant released on bail without the 15 year-old girl being taken into protective custody by the appropriate authorities? If not, she a sitting duck of a target.
