London has recorded 12 murders in the past 19 days. And for the first time ever the murder rate has surpassed that of New York. Last year there were 80 deaths by stabbing in London. This comes after stricter gun controls in London so now the fatal stabbing are on the rise . The cry is now to allow Brits to arm themselves again for protection.

And something similar is going on with a bank and its share..just watch it.

And so imagine the scandals, crime and yes, even murder the OBAN deal could bring to the Bahamas if the wrong people are involved. Oil is big business and refining is even more lucrative and has its following of 'gangsters' trying to snatch a piece of pie. Fortunately most of their transactions will be offshore if the deal ever materializes.

so they lock up the lil' street dealers and put them on the font page to make their claim look legit and the public buy into it. Show us the money.

Be sure to include some high tech and expensive electronic stores and sushi bars is Chinese are set to become the worlds largest travelers in the year 2020. And Chinese tend to have much more money to spend than the average travelers, and since Chinese tourists are more likely to travel by air, they tend to stay longer.

Plans should be afoot to solarize every major government building in the country, including schools within 10 years. This should also include schools and major stretches of highway on the family islands. Countries like China, India and Japan have committed to making only electric cars within two to five years. And if you want one of the new n model Tesla electric cars you will have to wait two to three years after placing the order. It will be interesting to see what happens to the price of gasoline over the next few years and The Bahamas and Bahamians will have to be wary of countries trying to dump near obsolete gas powered vehicles in this country in the near future. Will gas powered vehicles become totally obsolete?

And on s more lucrative note, they have The Bahamas listed as a narcotic state and a money laundering haven. Cocaine is an annual $1.8 Trillion Dollar illegal industry. Yes Trillion with a ‘T’. That is ten percent of GDP of The United StTes, 18% of China and around 30 percent of the GDP of Canada. With a GDP of 9 .5 Billion, the value of the gross domestic product of the Bahamas can only supply the world with cocaine for just a few days out the year. In other words, the amount of cocaine sold around the world each year is about 2,000 times all the goods and services produced in The Bahamas in a year. The majority of cocaine is produced in Peru and Eighty percent of cocaine produced worldwide is consumed in The United States. Is is now shipped mostly through California and Texas and the majority is consumed in New York. So if The Bahamas is still a major drug trafficking country how come there are no major drug busts (multi million) for years on end?. And if The Bahamas is involved in major money laundering activities how is it more persons are not being exposed with b over bulging bank accounts that they cannot give accounting for? Why aren’t the proceeds of these money laundering accounts being seized and being used to pay down the national debt? Why aren’t California, Texas, New York and Florida on the list of drug trafficking and money laundering states? The $1 Billion that passes through the web shops in the Bahamas is not even sufficient to be gratuity on the $2.5 Trillion (yes with a ‘T’) illicit global, illegal drug trade. And that does not include multiple Billion prescription drug trade, that includes opioids which iare now the greatest killers among misused or abused drugs.

First of all Mr. Dames should have confirmed that the videos were authentic and from the Fox Hill Department of Corrections before offering comment. A set of hande breaking down apparent marijuana can have been photoshopped or videotaped anywhere. Secondly, any given prison anywhere around the world will not be filled with choir boys, but persons who have run afoul of the law and persons, in most cases, still want to enjoy the pleasures of being free. And so there have to be checks and balances in place to ensure rules are enforced and order is kept. Unfortunately the human element is the weakest link in any controlled environment as human nature tends to break down where there is constant interaction between individuals and then discipline must be enforced both on the inmates and officers. But from the nationality’s mix of the individuals and the laxity on the video with the blaring music and all, this appears more like a detention center than a prison and the minister should confirm before further comment.

Teach them young set how to bark almond and coconut, and to climb the ju ju and dilly tree. Even a bad diet mixed with fresh, natural grown tings will not be so damaging and unhealthy. Every yard use to have a lime or sour orange tree. Citrus cuts fatty foods and keeps the arteries clear. Limes in the food store cost 89 cents each.
