Reality- check you sounds like a little school girls who cannot seem to be able to stop calling Sebas Bastian and Craig Flowers ‘ name. Give it a break! If you have common sense enough to comprehend what you read the three issues this gangster controlled and scandal ridden EU has with the Bahamas is 1 It (Bahamas) failed to meet demands for a fairer taxation. 2.transparency and compliance with the fight against tax avoidance by multinational companies. So tell me where the Web Shops fit in. In fact seems like the HOA signed by Minnis and Oban is more in contravention with itsvtax freeness than all the web shops together. Give your sick mind a rest!

There are 900 cruise ships currently under construction and yet this country pays cruise ship companies incentives amounting to millions of dollars to come to the Bahamas, as do most other Caribbean countries. This is only because The Bahamas and countries do not cooperate with each other while the cruise companies team together and make their demands. The time has come for these countries to and together to get their fair share of the cruise ship profits and stop paying ships to visit. In fact the time will come when the Bahamas will have to put greater restrictions on ships that visit and limit the number of visits in the interest of preserving other marine resources.

So Donald Trump can impose tariffs at will but The Bahamas was told to get rid of its customs duties and find other sources of revenue for government as customs duties are a barrier to trade. Donald Trump is trying to punish China and Japan for being successful in producing goods and services and selling them worldwide. But Trump should be mad with all the American companies that shut down operations, packed their bags, and moved their operations overseas, leaving the US a big empty shell and having to import ‘American’ products. Now American companies will have to play ‘catch up’ (and not be a hot source.

The Economic War is just heating up as Donald Trump imposes tariffs on aluminum and steel coming from China and Japan but not from Canada and Mexico. But he still wants to build a wall along the Mexican boarder. Russia has sanctions that prevents it from selling its oil and other products in international markets but sells guns, including military grade Assault Rifles through its company in Florida. President Trump wants the death penalty for drug dealers but mass murderers, like The Cruz boy who killed 17, gets to sit in a Federal prison. And the people who are prescribing the opioids that are kill so many people are licensed pharmacists. So who is this law targeting? And despite it being legal in some form in at least 1/3 of the United States and scheduled to be legal in Canada later this year, the DEA still has marijuana listed as a schedule 1 drug along with drugs like cocaine and heroine. Jamaica is advising its guests (tourists) only to purchase marijuana in small quantities and to make sure to get rid of ‘everything ‘ before heading to the airport or any seaport to leave the island. Florida has just passed a law to stay on daylight savings time all year round, so when Bahamians travel there (October thru March) there will be a one hour difference in time as will be for persons traveling here from that state.

The credibility of the police is shot as it seems there is no one policing the police. and spikes in crime seem to follow certain police actions, like locking up innocent young men on their way to or from work or even to the neighborhood store, then physically an verbally abusing them and even putting false charges on them. The police claim thel arrested some 30 persons during their helicopter assisted raid. How many were charged and brought before the courts. what was the real purpose o that "invasion." What and who was taken out the country. What about the recent police killings. When you cannot trust the police...then who

"Nov 13, 2017 - In this way, Kalashnikov Kontsern had typified a broader strategy in Russia's defense industry under President Vladimir V. Putin. ... Until the crisis in Ukraine prompted the imposition of American sanctions, Kalashnikov had done a brisk business selling civilian rifles in the United States under the Baikal and ...'..... go study

The link here is not with Russia being a part of the EU or not but the problem we are having with AK-47 weapons showing up on our streets and the US State Department simultaneously and repeatedly issuing travel advisories for this country. They are and have been manufacturing the weapons right next door to us. One of their agencies allowed thousands of these and other weapons destined for Mexico to ‘go missing ‘ so now the connections are clear as day.

Do you know there is a company in Florida that manufacturers the Russian ak-47 assault rifle and ships it around the world?
"***County officials kept secret the name of the company being offered the incentives, as is typical in economic development deals, despite the use of taxpayer funds. Public documents mention in passing that the company made and distributed “firearms,” but use only its code name, “Project 762.”
In fact, the company was Kalashnikov USA, the brand name of RWC Group LLC — a company identified in court papers as holding “the U.S. license to manufacture and sell world-renowned Kalashnikov firearms.”
“Project 762 will continue to provide firearms products to meet growing market demand,” said the county staff’s approval recommendation. “Project 762’s business model aligns with the Board of County Commissioner’s vision: Unlimited Economic Opportunities.”
The recommendation did not address the project’s possible non-economic impacts.***

Is this where the AK-47's that are found in the Bahamas are coming from? Originally these weapons were made with Russian parts, but as US sanctions were brought against Russia preventing the imports, the rifles are now made with American made parts.

and guess who owns this company?

**Vladimir Putin**, the president of Russia, is the majority shareholder

The same gangsters who are posing as regulators have captured the offshore banking market. The US alone controls 25 percent of that market, where it, like other European countries, secretly hold bank accounts of individuals from other countries. Yet they want to reach into jurisdictions, like The Bahamas, Cayman Islands and demand banking information. They threaten the smaller countries with sanctions and blackmail..err blacklisting to scare their customers away and then snatch them up like hungry buzzards. And just go read the scandals after scandals involving billions and billions of dollars in the EU and other membership countries. These scandals involve bank spying, asbestos scandal, The Barings Bank going belly up after 300 years in operation, The Societe Bank scandal, the Volks Wagon emissions scandal, The Libor rigging scandal that caused Barclay's Bank and Royal Bank to be fined 6 billion, which RBC is apparently trying to recoup from its Bahamas clients with excessive fees, and Parmalat scandal involving a 3.9 billion FAKE account in Bank of America.
