All the controversy and including the obvious forgery of of signatures gives Minnis and an FNM Government the opportunity to bow out even ungraciously from this deal that has bo benefits in it for the Bahamian people. And with Minnis ducking and dodging the press and other members of the government doing likewise, one has to now wonder if the OBan gangsters has some dirt on Minnis or the FNM Government or both. Did they campaign the FNM Election campaign wholesale? Did Minnis agree to this project before being elected? What else about this deal the Bahamian people doesn’t know. There is a gun factory right next door in Florida that manufactures Russian assault riffles and ships these ‘increasing in demand ‘ weapons all around the world. The major shareholders of the company is Putin, the President of Russia. The name of the company was not revealed when this company applied for concessions and the products they manufacture was not made public. And so we act surprised when these weapons show up here or are used in mass killings in the USA. The weapons being manufactured right next door to us.

So a woman finds her husband was going in the strip club after work. So rather than deal with her husband she decides to try close down the strip club. So a man finds his wife is spending too much money shopping. So rather than curb his wife’s spending habits, he decides to try shut down all the shopping mall. See how dumb the EU policy is. And similar is the lopsided policies of the WTO. They have told The Bahamas to get rid of customs duties because it is a barrier to trade. But what is their Tesoro Donald Trump’s newly imposed tariffs on aluminum and steel. ‘It’s ok as long as you don’t impose it on membership States.’ So what is good for the goose is not good for the gender.

The effort was set about years ago to move the world away from fossil fuels. And with the invention of driverless cars and flying taxis, companies, like Tesla set about making electric cars more efficient, able to travel longer distances and since privately own vehicles sit idle 94% of the time, they sought to reduce the number of vehicles clogging up the earth. But the problem is more and more commercial deposits of oil are being found around the world, including unusual parts of the Middle East, parts of Africa, and in the Caribbean. So now there is a certain, silent rush back to oil because of the huge value in it. And since larger and faster ships and being built to move this oil and it’s ref products around the world, larger storage facilities and refineries in strategic locations are needed. While to say never to Oban, this current agreement is an empty briefcase as far as The Bahamas and Bahamians are concerned. In fact it is more like a leaking barrel of oil, because this country will be taking all the risks, absorbing all the pollution and getting nothing of substance in return. Oil storage and transportation and oil refining are very lucrative businesses. So ifMinnis and the FNM Government continue on this agreement without seeking reasonably substantial benefits for the Bahamian people this will be their last time in office in their lifetime.

Only now that Crypto currencies, like the Bitcoin poses threats to countries local currencies are they seeking to regulate it. Basically it was someone taking Monopoly money and pretending it’s real money that got it started. And as more people believe in this ‘invisible ‘ or digital money, it becomes more valuable. A guy claims he bought Bitcoin at $6-7. When it got up to $14,000 he was able to trade the value of Bitcoin for a $16,000 car. But by time the car dealer got to the bank to trade the Bitcoin, its value had dropped to $12,000. So he lost over $2,000 on the sale of the car. So now there’s Ripple that bypasses banks and converts your money into the currencies you want to trade in in a matter of seconds. So if you’re in the Bahamas and want to trade in Europe, rather than having to convert Bahamian dollars into Euro, Ripple does this digitally in a matter of seconds and allows you to do the trade. It also works if you need to convert Euros back into Bahamian dollars, avoiding all banking delays and most fees so now they want to regulate and control these currencies for fear of what it will do to banking revenue. And now countries that are blacklisted or being untreated fairly by the EU and commercial banks are introducing their own crypto currencies. Venezuela plans to introduce the Petro coin in short order. And as US dollars are no longer required for international trade, including the purchase of oil both the US dollar and the EU are facing extinction.

Then it’s time to form the NEU ( or the Non-European Nations) and stand united against them that discriminate against us and exploit us and steal our resources.

The European Union was formed specifically to bond together certain countries for economic reasons and discriminate against others. That is why the economic embargo against Haiti, that started over 200 years ago is still effective. This union wants to control the wealth of the world based on the premise that The European population is under threat and the rest of the world will rise up against them (because of their wicked deeds and bloodshed around the world and even now its economic warfare). And the Union is going into even greater panic as the war on drugs that was designed to lock or destroy Black Americans, basically has failed. Beyond that oil and other valuable mineral valued in the Hundreds of Billions have been discovered in non traditional places like Haiti, The Bahamas and countries that were listed as terrorism friendly. Meanwhile The USA Russia and China is in a mad frenzy to get their greedy claws on this new found wealth. And even Israel is joining in the fray fight to control oil that was discovered in its neighboring state. China is being described as ‘a silent beast that is taking over the entire world without firing a shot. Unlike the US and other conquering nations, China moves in peacefully and slowly takes control of a nations economic activity and consequently its wealth. Because The US did not want to empower and enrich a certain segment of its population, it moved most of its industries overseas. And by doing so it became a financial slave to China and even Japan. And these countries come to smaller countries like the Bahamas and not onl set up industries. But they force loans on the country, saddling them with debt and thereby milking every single dollar out of that country. Then you have false alarmed , yes like Reality-check ..that scream to the top of their lungs ‘it’s the web shops that done it, while billions and billions of dollars are leaving this country leaving the Bahamas saddled in debt. The US alone has crashed nearly 200 government’s around the world or caused them to change hands. A kep operative word is ‘corruption.’

It is not the end of the month f story. That is why there’s debate. The war on drugs was designed with a special intent and is now evolving into the ‘war on gangs ‘ as jurisdictions seek to legalize or, at least, decriminalize marijuana.

There just seem to be a fashionation with raging water, not only here in the Bahamas but around the world. In India for example people stand on the banks every year waiting for the tide to come rushing in. And when it does dozens are swept away and some lose their lives. Even to rebuild the Glass Window Bridge without making it safe to pass in bad weather or with proper security to keep it inaccessible will not prevent tragedies like this. RIP.

So police are still wrecking cars and shooting suspects for small amounts of marijuana. The initial report said a few once’s now this one says 1.2 pounds. Jamaica is celebrating the opening of its first marijuana dispensary today, marijuana is legal al over the United States and will be legal all over Canada by summer. Time for Marvin Dames, The minister of health and the commissioner of police and others concerned to sit dow and set a clear policy on persons caught with small amounts of marijuana. Not it should not be legal at this time but make it offensive and stop wasting court time and police resources chasing small amounts of weed. Well unless you’re taking the side of Donald Trump who is pushing for the death penalty for drug dealers. Word on the street is that may already be in effect here. BTW how many of the 30 of the last police helicopter invasion were charged and brought before the courts?

And almost every Bahamian will agree that the tax burden is this country is skewed towards Bahamians and locals bearing the most of the burden. You have the hotels with their concessions. The Cruise operations and airlines with their tax rebates, the salt company in Inagua paying little or no royalties and taxes but shipping our salt around the world, even to Germany to make weapons. The same with aragonite. Then there are the companies in Freeport and The Bimini Bay, paying little or no taxes, yet the Bahamian people are faced with a 7 Billion debt and can barely keep the lights on. Fix it!
