It is patently obvious: Cruise ships have to be regulated, monitored, controlled and penalized heavily for violations. As they grow bigger and carry more passengers and supplies out to sea, the potential for pollution also increases. Seven to Eight Thousand persons on a cruise for seven days creates thousands of gallons of waste water, garbage and sludge. Should there be environmental levy fees? Should ships be required to pay for waste and sewerage at every port to which they call. Because if they have none to dispose off so what did they do with it? Left it floating out on the ocean somewhere or pumped into the water to feed some hungry grouper?

And yet the Bahamas are granting these companies permission to build their own private ports throughout the country when they do not have the means or the manpower to monitor their activities in port or out-to-sea. And if they are conducting themselves in this callous and reckless manner. Are we willing to sacrifice our marine resources and mass pollution by giving in to the cruise ships demands for private port facilities? In some parts of the world marine resources are already presenting with diseases and other anomolities including cancerous tumours due to high levels of pollution. So how much more dumping or how much longer before the seafood starts making people sick? Conch is already an endangered species. And conch poisoning, because of their feeding habits is already too common.

Anyone who has an common sense knows the conspiracy is NOT to fix BPL and to keep Bahamians in the dark for as long as possible and for as much as possible. And having to pay through your ears for what power you do use. Power companies across the US and around the world are producing electricity so efficiently and in such abundance, they are giving it away to consumers at off peak periods and even encouring consumers to use more during those periods. Yet after 20 years of power disasters the country is still struggling to keep the lights on and have some of the highest cost per unit of electricity in the region. And this is despite having inputs readily available both to reduce the cost and increase the supply. This could only be a conspiracy, Venezuela!

Why did The Bahamas bypass several economic cycles of recovery, at least for Bahamians? Why areBahamians and the local economy is a worse state than in decades? Who was given instructions to ‘make the economy scream?’ We hear about these projects being announced and about how many jobs will be created and how muc money will be put into the economy, but how much of it is reaching Bahamians in a substantial way. Do you realize Bahamians own less of their economy than ever before but are still expected to carry the majority of the tax burden? Why after the introduction of VAT on top of customs duties and the increase in VAT by 60% the national debt is continuing to climb and Bahamians are still losing their homes and businesses? Who is making the local economy scream?

And then there were the shooting on Montagu of the jet ski operators.

Whilst drugs flowing through the Bahamas may be the lowest levels in decades and the country still continues to be listed as a drug trafficking country, drugs flowing into the US has increased fourfold since the 1980’s. And the biggest concern is opioids which continue to claim over 70,000 lives annually. And while officials originally blamed this problem on drug dealers in China, more evidence is showing that a large part of the problem is caused by greedy pharmaceutical companies. For example one company dispensed several million opioid based pills in a town that only had 400 residents. And because of these companies along with pharmacies and doctors being involved, this has hampered Donald Trump’s plans to give the death penalty to persons found illegally distributing opioids.

Bob Marley said it best ‘your best friend can be your worst enemy, and your worst enemy your best friend ‘Let’s still pretend that we don’t know how the guns are getting into this country! She me will eat and drink with you...

My prescription says ‘those who forget the past are bound to repeat it’. What does yours say agent? Let me guess : fool them once, and when they forget fool them again, yes? And that’s why we have Minnis and KP Turnquest over taxing and killing everything Bahamian.

How many Minister can actually swim? So the pigs beat them! Unlike slavery the pigs have an opportunity to swim away, ok then!

So how much influence does the CIA and other Americans agencies have on the disruption of normal politics and normal social life in The Bahamas. After all they planned to kidnap a Prime Minister of this country on false drugs charges and was only stopped by another American agency for fear of the repercussions so imagine now?
