Behavior experts say for every 1 percent the misery index increases, crime and domestic violence increases 13 percent. Some states in the US have seen gun violence increase by 2,000 percent and the same experts contend crime is not always economically driven but because persons have a sense of helplessness, hopelessness and despair. Even as the US reopens and jobs become available, some paying bonuses and prime wages, some people are reluctant to return to work because they are in panic about the pandemic. And here after Bahamians were confined to their homes, curfewed and locked down, now they are being constantly beat across their heads to get vaccinated, even though it is supposed to be voluntarily done. On top of that they must now face soaring prices at the gas pumps, in the food stores, for building supplies and even to travel. And they decided to bring politics also into the mix, campaigning and taunting the electorate with an early election ‘that can happen anytime now.’ Minnis must be burnt out and ready to throw in the towel because there is no benefit in an early election for him. His handling of the vaccination process has brought the FNM’s popularity to its lowest level in five years. And if the FNM, for whatever reason, chooses to go to election without marijuana legislation that’ll be their undoing. For numerous reasons.

Why you mad so?

For many young men, their first encounter with violence and abuse is with a police officer. And this started decades ago. Police would pull a vehicle over, haul the occupants out, verbally abuse them and slap and even kick anyone that dare say something. Just recently a guy came from a Family island to renew his passport. He was locked up by police and then released without explanation. Of course he was angry but decided to return to the island and never return to Nassau. But what about those who live here and cannot escape this police state? Men coming from beork in uniform or clearly from a construction site are treated the same way. Yes a lot of the problem may be bad parenting but a lot more is the way Bahamians are being mistreated in their own country.

In the main time the country needs to know what happened to Marvin who disappeared from Gambier. Who killed the marine on duty at government house? Who carried out the brazen, daylight massacre of six and injuring of two including a child? It is unfair to the hard workin majority of police and other law enforcement officers in this country when it appears the top brass doesn’t want to be accountable to the Bahamian people or that the police cannot solve some of the most heinous crimes or ones the draw the most public speculation. Haiti was able to make arrests within hours of its president being assassinated. And they were able to determine that security at the president’s home was breached because guards on duty were duped into believing the president was going to be arrested and not murdered.

This man is having a meltdown! But he is right about one thing. CRIME, especially MURDER has worsened under his watch! This is despite his ministry receiving some of the most lucrative budgets in recent time. And the narrative about gangs: despite the laws on the books, how many persons have been brought before the courts for gang activity? This war on gangs ideology is just an extension of America’s FAKE ‘war on drugs’. Just another reason to bring young men under scrutiny and attack by authorities. Who is flaming the wars that do exist between young men and the dissent and the anti-social behavior? Even before Marvin Dames assumed his current office, the government of that day was advised that the murder and violent crime problem in this country are symptoms of other problems. Problems affecting young men especially. The school system has been dominated by women. And the church and most of the work place. Politicians and other leaders benefit because they find women become vulnerable and more easier to manipulate and control in the absence of the male. This is something the US studied and started doing to its Black population over four decades ago. Remove the Black man from the home. Send him to jail. Feminize those that remain and force them to walk on tippy toes (pins and needles.). Kill a few now and then to remind them who is in control. Better yet Teach them how to become violent criminals and kill up each other ( a play station sold for $1,200 during the Christmas and 90% of the games being played by kids as young as five are violent and/or criminally oriented). But maybe Marvin is not having a meltdown. Maybe he is coming into new wisdom and reality. A country divided amongst itself cannot survive. Whilst the young men bare being drawn into a FAKE gang war and killing up each other, some losing their lives only because they were related or squinted with s so called gang banger, the country is being stolen from right under our noses. Paradise for sale. Bahamians are losing their rights, their businesses, their homes. Who are the new owners of the Bahamas. A nation for sale.

As long as Marvin Dames remains in charge of the police and national security , young men in this country will continue to lose their lives and others will have their pictures plastered on the news charged with bloody murder. Marvin Dames is compromised to a country that started a war on Black people decades ago. They see them as a threat and want ALL Black men either dead or in prison . Stay woke! Now they gat Da Afrikaans helping capture (and KILL) da slaves.

Minnis is sounding more and more like a cheap prostitute on drugs with his vaccine drive. There are alternatives dude.

The minister of national security says Bahamians should not worry themselves about the recent murders since it is only two rival gangs having a ‘Lil war.’ Think national his man is having another mELTdoWn? Yet he spends millions of Bahamians taxpayers money on crime fighting toys. The man promised to do something about crime and murder especially. And he did! He made it worse. And police involved killings have nearly doubled under his watch. A meltdown and a failure. Then meltdown Marvin goes on to say the crime problem is a result of failed parenting, decades of neglect he claims. So why didn’t meltdown Marvin tell that to his PM years ago. At least s year after he ascended to office as Minister of National Security? Why didn’t he tell the PM that what the country has is a social problem and not a crime problem. Take some $5 million from the defense budget and put towards more social programs, like parenting, job training, youth mentoring, especially for males?

COVID viruses naturally disappear after infecting a percentage af the earth’s population and after making several mutations in attempts to survive and infect additional people. To say that over a dozen companies can come up with extremely high efficacy vaccines that are even effective against newer strains of this virus in such a short period of time is definitely a trip through fairytale land, the greatest motivator behind the vaccine drive is MONEY!

The Delta variant seems to move quickly over a population and then disappear. Is this signaling an end to the Covid-19 virus pandemic ? Some say it is the beginning of a fourth wave. Pfizer says it wants to give a third booster shot. The CDC and FDA says ‘hold accountable n, not so fast, we will be the only nes making that decision in due time. Israel, who had brought its numbers closer to zero than ever since the pandemic began is attempting to vaccinate all its citizens with a ‘third Jab’ as an extra precaution against the Delta variant. Johnson and Johnson says no major concern about the 100 plus patients who developed heart complications a few weeks after taking the vaccine.

QUOTE:‘ Predictably, the pandemic wore on, stretching into a third deadly wave that lasted through the spring of 1919, with a fourth wave hitting in the winter of 1920. Some officials blamed the resurgence on careless Americans. Others downplayed the new cases or turned their attention to more routine public health matters, including other diseases, restaurant inspections and sanitation.
Despite the persistence of the pandemic, influenza quickly became old news. Once a regular feature of front pages, reportage rapidly dwindled to small, sporadic clippings buried in the backs of the nation’s newspapers. The nation carried on, inured to the toll the pandemic had taken and the deaths yet to come. People were largely unwilling to return to socially and economically disruptive public health measures.
No matter the era, aspects of daily life go on even during a pandemic.‘
