The police force has become a headless monster that is preying on its own people..even the innocent ones...but your clueless comish says 'there will be casualties' men and women who are innocent will get tortured and fish bagged.' Some will lose their lives. Is the country better off to have a police force operating outside the law or in this fashion?

China graduates over 350,000 engineers last year. That is almost eqoto the population of the Bahamas. How many Bahamian engineers graduated last year? And how many returned home? Time has passed for the country to start looking beyond tourism banking and retail. What other we have here that can be developed into industries. Aragonite? Salt? Pine trees? Conch shells? Sea water? Sandz. There are millions of dollars in grants available to do research and te country needs to take advantage of them

Maybe I’m singing for racial equality. So what your sour note?

The biggest problem if Miller runs in the next election is most voters will not know who he is. And they will tend to vote for younger candidates who they can relate to like his grandchildren.

Maybe Marvin wants to promote his fish baggers and water borders. But he too (Marvin Dames) will be sent into early retirement on the next election. And his legacy will be that there were more police-involved shootings during his first year as Minister of National Security than in other time in the history of the Bahamas. And there were more complaints of innocent persons being beaten and tortured. And, of course, the Frank Smith case will stand out like a wet feather in his cap and the outcome of the Reckley and Gibson will be more decoration.

So where is Travis Robinson

Don’t forget the CIA is also operating in this country. They love this kinda action to turn Peter against Paul.. and if it is some psycho woman (or even a man crossed dressed) doing it for attention, they will eventually become more daring and more reckless in their behavior. Hurry catch them and give them the fish bag and water boarding treatment, even if they CIA

The government allowing gangsters from halfway around the world to dictate to them. But the Bahamas has no police to ensure that the EU clowns are following the same policies they are trying to enforce. The offshore banking industry has increased 20 fold since they snatched it from countries like the Bahamas. Just like the US has the Bahamas listed as a drug trafficking country but the amount of drugs flowing into the US has tripled since the 1980’s. And now there’s fentanyl that comes from China and is added to cocaine and heroine to make it more potent but very deadly. Average 7,000 deaths a year..And so yes a Bahamian can go to Miami and open an account with a passport and drivers license in 30 minutes. Here you need three forms of I’d plus your grandma birth certificate. Bahamians again discriminated and disenfranchised. Policies being dictated by gangsters who never even visited the Bahamas.

Not only do Bahamians not own the economy but they are also the most taxed by the government. They are the ones most choked by the high cost of living in the country and stripped of economic empowerment. Foreigners can still come with an empty briefcase and a scam and leave with millions and owing millions in taxes and and payroll expenses and other bills. At least Pindling had the right idea to preserve property by not letting foreigners hoard it but Ingraham let him swing him into changing that. And the Bahamisation policy was the right one but not properly structured. Foreigners have more control over our power companies, communications, tourism and even law enforcement than ever before in the history of the country.. the current prime minister claims to have investments all over the world, but what incentives has he or his sidekick KP made to allow it to become easier for Bahamians to invest even at home, and own a piece of the rock. The most disgraceful example was how the web shop operates were assaulted and violated. If the government tried that with the casinos or any foreign company , they would have packed their bags and left.

Back in the 60’s and 70’s and even before and after then, the White Bahamian would rather open the Bahamian economy with foreigners before they share it with Black Bahamians. And not only did they not empower Black Bahamians, but they took steps to exclude them or limit their progress. Little did they know this Economic Racism was coming back to bite them in the butt. While the Bahamian economy has grown to value multi billions, only a small portion of it is owned by Bahamians, Black or White. And the white boys can no longer compete with the foreigners and rather than being business owners and employees, they now find themselves working side by side with the black Bahamians in a foreign entity. In fact some are too embarrassed to come back home. So they stay abroad and work.
