Aegedon.. how is America trying to help? American made guns and ammunition are killing more people around the world than drugs. And what is doing to curb or control the sale of these illegal guns? If America’s borders are so porous that so many millions of weapons and arms can flow out unnoticed and undocumented then Donald Trump is wasting his time even thinking about the effects of a wall on the Mexican boarder. And the Bahamas was not a narcotic state. Drugs were never produced here (just like guns weren’t) and these drugs started to flow through the Bahamas even before Bahamians knew what the drug trade was about. Which country has the US ever cooperated with to stem the flow of illegal weapons to that country? That’s why the Bible refers to America as ‘the lamb that speaks like a dragon.’

I don’t know if I agree with the ‘greedy ‘ comment in light of there being lives lost. And let us not forget they were not all Bahamian charter pilot. The pilot who went missing over Exuma en route to the Southern Bahamas and closed his flight at least a day before he was reported missing. Maybe more regulation and more persons at Family Island airports with the power to ground flights and shut the airports. May the souls lost in this sad tragedy redo in peace.

Tal you should use some of the effort you are using to hide behind this fake ‘foreign English ‘ pen and get real. Your rantings are not even consistent and everyone knows persons struggling with English write better than they speak. Obviously your posts have nothing more to them than to create diversion. You cannot be that lacking in common sense as to not grasp control of the English language to a sensible degree over the years you have been posting. The only person you are fooling is yourself, even if you are getting paid to post mostly garbage.

How many aviation mishaps over the past few weeks. Maybe these light aircraft need to pay more attention to weather alerts and stay on the ground during unsettled weather like it was this morning with high winds and blinding rain.

When you dissect the crime figures one can see that the majority of crimes are related either to the economy or to gangs and gang related activities. Murders, for example. The report indicates that at least half of them are related to gangs and drug warfare and/or retaliation killings. So by eliminating gangs from the picture murder and almost every other crime will decline. This has been clearly demonstrated over the past few months when several notorious persons, who may have been responsible for dozens of murders, have themselves been killed or went into hiding. Where did the gangs come from? Young Bahamian males as young as 15 are not known for killing and committing murders. So and shooting people. So this begs the question, “where are the guns coming from?’ I put it to you that over 90% of all illegal guns used in crime were manufactured in the United States and for the Bahamas that figure is several percentage points higher. Illegal guns and gun smuggling is big business for the United States. It is very profitable and involves big wigs including legislators and sitting judges. They dump the guns and weapons and ammunition in countries, like The Bahamas, then agitate young people to use them. To kill each other. And despite all the joint efforts The Bahamas had with the United States to fight the war on drugs, how much effort has America made to even help keep its illegal guns out this country? Why? Because it is big business. Big business. And even some cities in the US have problems with gun control because when they strengthen their gun laws the state next to them relaxes theirs. Yet they tell their citizens visiting that the country is unsafe.

Medical marijuana is said to be saving lives in parts of the US where there is an opioid epidemic. Switching patients to medical marijuana reduces the chances of them becoming hooked on opioids and overdosing. Here in the Bahamas there needs to be more regulations and controls before the introduction of medical marijuana. For example persons who are prescribed marijuana for psychological reasons may choose to buy it off the street where it is cheaper. The problem with this is there are so many grades and strains on the street. It would be like buying counterfeit medicines. Then drug dealers add other things like cocaine and angel dust to make their drugs more potent or more addictive.

A cause for concern: There’s been two false alarms in the past week that should have everyone on planet earth concerned. First there was an false alert about misses being launched and headed for Hawaii. Residents panicked and ran for shelter and it took over 30 minutes for officials to realize what had happened and cancel the warnings of an attack. Then a similar event happened in Japan where a worker claims he ‘pressed the wrong button.’ With two barely sane persons in charge of some of the worlds most powerful and dangerous weapons one can see how easy it is for some of these weapons to be launched by mistake. Then there’s no calling them back.

VAT was introduced with the understanding that it would replace customs duties and stamp tax to make The Bahamas more ready to meet the WTO requirements. But the government decided to keep all the taxes running parallel to each other and pushing the cost of living in the country up by 10 - 15%. The high taxes are also responsible for the stagnant and even retracted economy because some businesses realize the cost of their inventory is to high to keep in supply or to be competitive (compared to US prices. This is clearly visible in automobile companies and retail clothing and shoe where US markets are easily accessible.

The troubling thing about the Freeport murders is that both suspects are underage teens. In new Providence the lull came when several known gang leaders were killed and others went into hiding when death threats were put on their own lives. One of these persons who was shot up and killed, may have been responsible for dozens of murders. Police, thus far have been successful in taking advantage of this break and have been keeping the heat on known gang members. But with the killings in Freeport by underage suspects, they must now determine if they were isolated incidents or if they are related to gang activity. The main gang in Nassau responsible for a lot the violence and killings has been decapitated and police must now take steps to ensure this gang is not reactivated by recruiting young boys to do murders.

The Bible says the Clintons were the killers of the children. Not only did they promote abortion, but Clinton passed laws that caused many minority youth to go to jail for long periods of time for minor crimes. Small amounts of drug possession. Many of these young men were used in experiments to develop drugs that turned humans into super predators. While the drugs were originally intended for use in the army, much was given to young minority youth on the streets that caused them to turn on each other and kill up each other. President Obama’s was the president who stood in the gap. During his presidency He finished or continued the work of the Clintons and she, a modern day, Jezibel, hungry for power, had a lot of influence over Obama’s White House. Donald Trump has been described as ‘the warrior ‘ and also ‘the crazy one.’ According to prophecy he will pick ‘war’ with every one and his purpose is ‘ to drain’ the swamp. To expose a lot of the dirty under workings in Washington and America.The ‘no vote’ of blacks and other minoritories helped him get elected and stop the reign of wicked Queen Hillary, who had plans to send the army into places like Chicago and kill up many young people suspected of being in gangs and throw many others in jail. Trump defeated Hillary and hopefully it is the end of her wicked reign. But yet she is not giving up and still wants back in the White House. So with caution and faith one has to wait and see what will happen next. Trump may be loud mouth and offensive to many but time will tell what he’s good for.
