How many black men have lost their lives or even now sit in prison on false allegations of rape? The only city in America that was ever bombed by American aircraft was when *white* woman falsely accused a young *black* man of rape. And when they don't want our young men on our own Bahamian beaches to try to make a living, they call them sub-human and rapists. How many young Bahamians are sitting in jail, even today, accused of rape or sexual assault and have not been brought to trial? and now they want to invade your bedroom during the most intimate moments even husband and wife share together and accuse you of a sexual crime. Why do you think they now have 'smart' tv's that are watching you while you are watching them, or smart phones that can turn the cameras on even while the pone is off. So now they putting cameras on both sides of the phone so that they can take pictures either way and yes, even when the phones are off.

*The Tulsa race riot, sometimes referred to as the Tulsa Massacre[2][3][4][5] or Tulsa race riot of 1921, occurred between May 31 and June 1, 1921, when a white mob started attacking residents and businesses of the African-American community of Greenwood in Tulsa, Oklahoma,[1] in what is considered one of the worst incidents of racial violence in the history of the United States.[6] The attack, carried out on the ground and by air, destroyed more than 35 blocks of the district, at the time the wealthiest black community in the nation. More than 800 people were admitted to hospitals and more than 6,000 black residents were arrested and detained, many for several days.[7] The Oklahoma Bureau of Vital Statistics officially recorded 39 dead, but the American Red Cross estimated 300.

**The riot began over a Memorial Day weekend after a young black man was accused of raping a young white female elevator operator at a commercial building**. After he was taken into custody, rumors raced through the black community that he was at risk of being lynched. A group of armed African-American men rushed to the police station, to prevent a lynching, where the young suspect was held and a white crowd had gathered. A confrontation developed between black people and white people; shots were fired, and some white people and black people were killed. As this news spread throughout the city, mob violence exploded. Thousands of white people rampaged through the black community that night and the next day, killing men and women, burning and looting stores and homes. About 10,000 black people were left homeless, and property damage amounted to more than $1.5 million in real estate and $750,000 in personal property ($31 million in 2018). Some black people claimed that policemen had joined the mob; others said that National Guardsmen fired a machine gun into the black community and a plane dropped sticks of dynamite.[8] In an eyewitness account discovered in 2015, Greenwood attorney Buck Colbert Franklin described watching a dozen or more planes, which had been dispatched by the city police force, drop burning balls of turpentine on Greenwood's rooftops.[*

This project is grounded in fraud and gangsters. There is little or no benefit for Bahamians. Stop the deal and negotiate at least 25 cents a barrel on refined products and 10 cents a barrel on crude imports to be refined. So you don’t think us Bahamians tired of being broke and watching millions of dollars circle around us. So who’s time is it ? Ok then!

So is it safe to say RBC’s right sizing efforts were successful and the company is now able to realize sustainable profits and pay dividends? How is this acceptable and not questionable for RBC-Finco but some called for investigations when BoB made similar announcements?

Actually one styled like a bridge above the high water level would be more practical with piling in the area of the old bridge to serve as a breakwater. This willl be tricky considering the force of the waters in that area (that cut an 8 foot deep trench through the road. But at least something that can stop the new bridge getting damaged.

Should this be $7.14 and not $71.42 in 2017 fees to its RBC parent.

If the surge was high as 40 feet does it mean you need to build a bridge at least 45 feet high? This will be more dangerous because if the surges hit at that level... so the alternative will be to build a causeway on the sea side, which will also be costly. And so if not now, eventually it will have to become a toll bridge if onl for maintenance.

Are persons aware of the second ‘sea storm’. That we may be feeling by weekend?

Is enough still being done to inform seamen and other marine interest about impending bad weather? Since the beginning of last week the US media were warning of a winter snowstorm that will affect the entire eastern seaboard of the USA and effects, including heavy winds and snowstorms would be felt for miles inland. Here in New Providence there were some reports and warnings of heavy winds and tidal surges, and heavy seas, but apparently no one expected the impact it had on Eleuthera and even here in New Providence. And other Caribbean islands like Puerto Rico got high waves and surges that were unexpected and were felt all the way down in South America. And while this was going on there was an earthquake in Jamaica that caused a tsunami warning to be issued. But how much of this information reaches residents in the Southern Bahamas. And while most people are aware of the hazard posed at the Glass Window bridge few are aware of the incident where the sea cut an 8 foot deep path through the road in Eleuthera and the water from the ocean side flowed to the sea side. Can this damage be repaired or Will Eleuthera now be in need of a second bridge.

Shantytowns are a symptom of other problems existing in the country. And unless and until those problems are addressed , Bannister and the minister before him and any other ministers that come behind will be dismantling shantytowns forever only to see them pop back up. The first problem is affordable housing, even for Bahamians. With a low end apartment going for $500 a month a tenant is required to come up with first and last plus security which will total around $1,500.00. Then the tenant has to connect the utilities which can cost another $600-$1000. And if they are first time renters they will have to find furniture and appliances which can cost another $3000-$5000. So it is not easy. They can probably move into the shantytowns with a bed and just $100. The second issue is discrimination in housing. Because many people do not have good credit or good tenants reputations they cannot find rental accommodations. With the current government threat to prosecute landlords who rent to ill, this will make the problems even worse and so the shantytowns will continue to pop up. Then illegals cannot purchase property or obtain building permits. When they have three or four children it is almost impossible to find living accommodations. So again they turn to the ‘towns. Then there is also the security and avoiding authorities issue. The shantytowns are like a gated community. Everyone who lives there knows everybody else. And since they provide all the basic needs, including employment, a persons can live there for years undetected or without having to come out and interact with the general community. Many US cities including New York and cities in California are facing problems with tent cities. But rather than being occupied primarily by illegal immigrants, these tent cities, made mostly of cardboard boxes and tarpaulin are occupied by homeless and drug addicts. And they pose a problem because they are along the riverbank and large amounts of human waste are drugs paraphernalia, including used needles are dumped into the river. And, just like here, when authorities go in and clear out these tent people. They return a few days later to find they have put their tents back or relocated a short dust away. Some states have sought to pass laws to make it illegal to be homeless. Meaning that the police could move in and arrest and jail anyone living in these tent cities. And there’s still the problem with the drug addicts who pose the greatest health hazard.
