It is so sad and unfortunate that when incidents like this happen , the country is so caught up in other issues t, little or no attention is paid to it, at least immediately. Among the list are the plane crash in Andros, the young man that went missing between Andros and Bimini, the incident in Acklins, the young 19 y/o tourist who went missing off the Glass Window Bridge in Eleuthera and the other five who got injured on the same bridge. And now this incident. Also the young man who set himself on fire and is in need of funds to aid in his recovery.

Both of them!

Newcitizen: unless and until you can show me a country other than the Bahamas other than the Bahamas and other Caribbean islands that cater to foreigners more than they cater to their own and give foreigners more rights than they give their own , go play with your parents.

If you equate the Blacklisting with the War on Drugs then you would better understand what you’re up against. It is target specific. If the ‘enforcers ‘ tapped certain people’s phone and overheard them even jokingly say in a conversation ‘ Boy if I had some drugs right now I could pay my bills.’ That person could be arrested and charged with intent or conspiracy to supply dangerous drugs and can spend the rest of his life or most of it in prison. This person may have never seen or touched drugs in their lives nor have any intention of doing so. And if you don’t think it is real, we still have police in this country willing to chase a car down the highy, shoot up and even kill its occupants and wreck a $100,000 police car in the process, only to recover a half joint. Only because they have been brainwashed and their superiors are so anxious to worship their invisible masters. When this issue of black listing came up under the Ingraham administration, the Ingraham Government, including Zhivago Laing, panicked and threw this country to the wolves. Hook, line and sink us!

* Venezuela plans to introduce the PetroCoin not the Petroleum coin.

You may not be able to put the bullet back in the gun, but you surely can prevent the shooter from taking more shots. Especially when his (their) credibility is in question.

The EU’s blacklisting does not have the effect they want it to have for several reasons. First off the growing number of Crypto currencies popping up all over the planet. And both the EU’s and the UK announcement in December that they plan to regulate and control the Bitcoin against money laundering and terrorism funding has caused that (Bitcoin) value to tumble. But it has caused other countries, like Venezuela, to announce plans to introduce their own Crypto currency (Petroleum coin) and since these will be outside the EU’s control and regulations they will pose a bigger headache and a greater weakening of the EU, that this corruption infested union will eventually welcome countries, like The Bahamas, with open arms. Then there’s also the US president, Donald Trump, who is both unscripted and uncontrolled. He is already creating headaches for the WTO by imposing tariffs on imports that the WTO has been struggling to have countries remove for years. And thus far their only response to Trump was ‘not to impose these tariffs on WTO members’ while they review the matter. Then there is the issue of ‘new wealth ‘ popping up in countries that have no respect for the EU and they have no interest in becoming a member. And since bad money chases good money persons who really want to hide their money or launder it will be attracted to those countries with high economic activity where it will be easier to blend in. Then China is doing a complete restructuring of its banking system to make its banking activities less visible to the international community. This is amid reporting that their economy is growing by 6-7% as the world renews its appetite for Chinese goods. When your grandma use to feed you and you didn’t eat, she didn’t go out and buy you Wendy’s of Bamboo. She simply said ‘don’t worry, when you get hungry you’ll eat.’

bahamians should not have been locked up, beaten and dehumanized in the first instance for attempting to access Bahamian beaches!! Can you imagine the fallout, internationally if one was to stop tourists from access Junkanoo Beach or ban them from going to the Fish Fry. Now you see how dumb and ignorant it sounds. To prevent Bahamians from accessing their own GOD given beaches? The police did the right thing and not continue in the persecution of their own people in the interest of foreigners who want to take possession of and control everything in the Bahamas. And the turncoat ,pea brain leaders who continue to facilitate them should be changed with treason. In fact all persons who own beach front property and abuse ttheir ownership and deny Bahamians access to the beach should have their properties seized and returned to the Bahamian people, including those who let loose guard dogs or even security officers to chase Bahamians off the beach. Time for Bahamians leaders to take their face out of the greedy foreigners backsides and let Bahamians enjoy their share of the sunshine. South Africa is taking back all the farm land the foreign imposters t’ief and returning it back to the rightful owners. It’s the people’s time!

Only the government seems to have panicked on this matter. The Bahamas needs to take the route of other countries and tell the EU which part of the world to kiss. And don’t forget Britain, who were our original colonial masters, is making its exit from this gangster led and scandal ridden union. The Bahamas and other similar countries will never meet their requirements because it is not their intention to make us a part of the union. In fact the intention is the opposite where then intend to keep moving the bar or use unreasonable requirements to exclude us. The USA now controls 25% of the offshore market since they came in and crushed our offshore banking system over a decade ago and stole our customers.

The people must unite on this one and not let the Oban gangsters advance any further with this one. Should we march or should we TORCH Red Shirts in the public square and continue to protest until this deal is scrapped or adjusted to include benefits for the Bahamian people. Benefits based both on the barrels of oil refined and the quantities of refined products exported.
