If something is reported in the news purported as facts or or ‘allegations under investigation,’ then persons who comment on those reports have more latitude and freedom from prosecution than someone who just goes in a public forum and loosely makes allegations. And even after a person is arrested and even charged, the story does not end there. If he or she can bring evidence that the allegations made are true or if he or she can show that steps were made or are being made to cover up the allegations then any actions against him or her will be challenged. In the case of Nygard, for example, it was proven that all the allegations against him lead back to the hands of one person. And it is further believed that most of the said ‘allegations and evidence’ against Nygard cannot hold up in court and once he has his day in court the cases against him will be tossed. And if he can prove the malicious motives behind the actions against him, he will receive substantial financial relief. And so that is why he is being held in prison, hoping the matter never reaches the court. Then there is the case of NY Governor Cumo who is facing a similar situation as Nygard. His accusers now number eight. The thing is lawyers are trained to style simple everyday employee/employer’s interactions into sexual abuse and inappropriate advances. And once these allegations are heard in the public and repeated often enough, they become the standard. In other words everyone knows bosses are sleeping with secretaries and other workers and employees sleeping with other workers. But only when it becomes convenient for someone to be removed from their post or when someone wants monetary relief, these relationships or behavior becomes unacceptable or even criminal.
BTW isn’t this the third US president under which (immigrant) children are being kept in cages and some knowingly away from parents or immediate families?
Many Bahamians would like to know just how involved the US, vis a vis its state department and other agencies are involved in and/or interfering in Bahamian politics. How much, if any does the US contribute to political campaigns in The Bahamas? Do they offer campaign and strategy advice on their favorite candidates or parties? And as is done in the US so frequently, do they help dig up dirt and scandal on parties and candidates who they do not favor?
Being Black and walking or driving in the US could cause you your life.. let us pray! Go and study the history of the USA before you become their puppet. Start with the Indians..the Blacks.. Hispanics Muslims go study and stop being a puppeteer
Bahamians are being walled in and locked away from beaches as "foreign" developments claim more and more of the country's beaches and beachfront properties. And very few Bahamians are involved in these multi-million dollar developments and the accompanying land c\grabs. And they are driving up the cost of living and property ways beyond the reach or not just the average Bahamians but even the more affluent ones. And government's usual retort "the country needs investment and development. But for the benefit of whom? To avoid what has and is happening in New Providence some legislation should be passed for uture and family islands. Carr it,"across from the beach' policy where developers can no longer 'hogg' the beaches buut can only build or make developments across from the beach. Roads will be a minimum of 50 yad from the high water mark and public parking will be developed and available at all popular beaches.
