When I visited Panama... the glaring lesson I came back with was that Panama is for Panamanians. One can invest in Panama in whatever industry the Panamanian authority approves, but you cannot yourself work in the business. This is absolutely reserved for Panamanians.
This aspect stood out with me because I saw the sharp contrast of this policy approach in Panama with that of labor policies in The Bahamas, where, as I can prove that, and with strong verifiable authority, The Bahamas is for everyone except the Bahamians. Why is this so?
That being said, the Chinese having position themselves, and as it seems, has the consent and blessing of Our Protectorate to occupy and/or be our next colonial masters. If this is the case, and knowing China now holds a strangle grip on our bread-basket: tourism, which of the two people is it that will be China's priority of concerns? Is it the Bahamians in The Bahamas, or, is it the Chinese in The Bahamas?
Who will take priority in the exercise of their powers or business decisions, be it financial, social or political?
pride is a bitch... It seems like persons among us lack decency and the maturity to look at something and call it for what it is.
Mr. Moore's comments are the classic example of a grown man stuck in his infantile stage... or rather, and when I reflect on his ranting and raging during the fiasco meeting in which he announced his support for Dr. Minnis, he is probable going through the early stages of senility. I say this with no intention of disrespect, but again, we must call it for what it is.
The FNM, on the whole, has displayed cowardice in their not doing what they had promised to do at the end of February, which was: to set a date for a convention.
The Executive, as well as, the Central Council have reneged on their promise. If we cannot keep to a simple agenda among ourselves, how are we to set the Country on a right and progressive path? Are we still determined to sacrifice the welfare of the Country just to align our personal ambitions within the Party? This is wrong!!!
Give the power to the people. Don't be afraid of what the decision of the people will be. Stop treating the people as though they are the enemy and that they are unable and incompetent of making of free choices.
Mr. Gibson has produced a well written and provocative article in which can indeed be described as 100% accurate, at least in terms of his assessment of the internal politics and psychological thinking that appears to prevail within the ranks and Council of the FNM.
But whether the isolation of Mr. Hubert Ingraham is a the result of a deliberate effort to minimize his importance, that is questionable given that Mr. Ingraham, as a permanent member of the Executive Council, can make his presence felt at will. The distancing of himself may very well be of his own choosing.
As to the present Leader of the FNM, Dr. Minnis inability to appreciate his precarious state continues to amaze me. He is experiencing what I view as a leadership complex which disables one to appreciate sound advice coming from his own and at such crucial time.
During the Spanish Peninsular War, Napoleon was said to be mentally in denial and not wanting to face his own miscalculations in that war. To assuage his feelings, he left the war front to wed his Austrian bride Princess Mary-Louise. Napoleon felt that he needed another victory so that his posterity of a great general could never be toppled. To finally offset what was an inevitable defeat in the Peninsular War, Napoleon started a war with his most important ally, Russia. Rather than draw back and accept that 'he who wants all, usually ends up getting none', he started the beginning of the end for himself and for France.
I applaud the consistency and interests of Mr. Brent Symonette who, in my view, is popularly stable and is possessed of sufficient business acumen, as well as, he has the general support with the business class and throughout, he is seen as capable to run the government of the Country. This is the case despite Mr. Ingrahams' disparaging remarks about him.
Mr. Symonette has already stated that, if needed and called upon, he would step up to answer the call to serve his Country. And as so accurately is the case for so many of us, Mr. Symonette declared that he is possessed of one nationality and passport: The Bahamas. His future and that of his family is intricately tied to that of The Bahamas. This, in my view, is the first and most basic incentive for good governance.
That is all you and others could do: WATCH. Cuba has its act together. It won't be going after money.... money is gonna be coming after Cuba. Cuban government has won the high moral high grounds.
I await to see if Dr Kendal Major is going to signal his approval in this aspect of the diabolical. In which case, There will be a Parliamentary seat up for grabs in Garden Hills.
this is a very serious but justified reason for public outcry:
For government ministers to have personal "Political Trash Bins" is a very frightening prospect to consider. And to say openly that nothing is secret any longer in The Bahamas; he may be right, however, please explain when and how this has come to be.
This is very very serious!!!
To add, the government as well as the Official Opposition all seem to have left off from doing the peoples' business and are now being cleverly but subtly lead and driven by two foreigners.
the dispensable bahamians... is there such a creature?
No... he was not a teacher at Queens College; and no... he was not Branville McCartneys' brother. Nor was he was Richard Demerit's son. He was not related to the prominent businessman from Grand Bahamas Arne Petersen either. He was not the brother of Fayne Thompson... No, not none of these. Sorry... he was no family to former Cabinet Minister Charles 'Chuck' Virgil. He was absolutely not the son of Leslie Miller, M.P.
His death leaves behind a wife and two small children to care for.
Who was he? Was he simply a dispensable Bahamian? Is there such a creature called 'a dispensable Bahamian'? We are more likely to get a national answer when one of theirs is killed again.
With whomever his family ties may be, apparently, he was a dispensable Bahamian. The outcry as a result of this tragedy can hardly be called deafening. Our senses are getting duller as the tragedies unfold.
Bahamians, is this the pride and joy intended from Majority Rule?... Is this what is meant by 'Upward', 'Onward' and 'Together'?
