The situation is like as soon as there is a hurricane the premiums increase, but when there’s years without any disaster the rates never go back down. So after each hurricane there are less and less persons who can afford to insure their homes or other property. So just like with mortgages, there are people who have paid insurance for 20, maybe even 30 years and they now find themselves without insurance. If their property is lost or damaged they will either have to abandon it or find the money to replace or repair the property. As one insurance agent put it ‘it is now about what you had or what you paid in the past. It is about what insurance you have now. And even if you allow your insurance to lapse or go unpaid just a few days before disaster hits, it’s up to the insurance company if they will cover you or allow for you to reinstate your policy.’ And in the current climate most likely they won’t. Then what happens if you have a mortgage on the property is the bank gets paid first. Especially if they are listed on the policy as a beneficiary. So even then the property owners can still be left high and dry
@sickened : if you don’t know who this God person is about whom we post, then obviously what we post does not concern you. So just dust the dirt off your shoes and move on to the next post. Don’t even bid us ‘goodbye ‘
OK so let's see how God (Almighty} got into this : "Isaiah 60:10-14New American Standard Bible (NASB)
10 “Foreigners will build up your walls, And their kings will minister to you; For in My wrath I struck you, And in My favor I have had compassion on you. 11 “Your gates will be open continually; They will not be closed day or night, So that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations, With their kings led in procession. 12 “For the nation and the kingdom which will not serve you will perish, And the nations will be utterly ruined. 13 “The glory of Lebanon will come to you, The juniper, the box tree and the cypress together, To beautify the place of My sanctuary; And I shall make the place of My feet glorious. 14 “**The sons of those who afflicted you will come bowing to you, And all those who despised you will bow themselves at the soles of your feet; And they will call you the city of the Lord, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel. Who are the real children of Isreal**?
The Haitian situation is a sad one. From time as a little boy to witness the Immigration come around Snr round them up and put them on a bus and take them away to be shipped back to Haiti. Or even to come home from school and find out your neighbor or some friends ‘get catchi’ And you will most likely not see them anymore. But from then to now an even greater situation has been created where many thousands of persons with Haitian parentage and illegal status were born and bred in this country. And like many Blacks in America, these persons find themselves as persons without a status and evens personas non grata. The only difference is black persons in America are being illegally denied of their rights while Haitian descendants here are being denied their rights or at least the opportunity to become legal. And to even close to the experience is to travel to a foreign country and have your passport, cash and all other forms of identification stolen. Instantly you become a nobody, except to be a burden and a problem to someone or some agency. And for the most part they hope you would hurry up and disappear. But you manage to get in contact with the right authorities and they get you some form or temporary identification and a travel document and you get home. And even before the wheels of the aircraft touch down in the Bahamas you feel like a human being. Citizenship and civility, at least in your life has bee restored. But from many of Haitian decent in this country that day of being a citizen and feeling like a human being never comes. Even death comes first. And so many died angry, depressed. Disenfranchised and by fact belonging to no country. And with this going on for almost a century it is time it comes to an end.
"As FBN Agent Martin Pera explained, “Most FBN agents were corrupted by the lure of the underworld. They thought they could check their morality at the door – go out and lie, cheat, and steal – then come back and retrieve it. But you can’t. In fact, if you’re successful because you can lie, cheat, and steal, those things become tools you use in the bureaucracy.”
Institutionalized corruption began at headquarters, where FBN executives provided cover for CIA assets engaged in drug trafficking. In 1966, Agent John Evans was assigned as an assistant to enforcement chief John Enright.
“And that’s when I got to see what the CIA was doing,” Evans said. “I saw a report on the Kuomintang saying they were the biggest drug dealers in the world, and that the CIA was underwriting them. Air America was transporting tons of Kuomintang opium.” Evans bristled. “I took the report to Enright. He said, ‘Leave it here. Forget about it.’
“Other things came to my attention,” Evans added, “that proved that the CIA contributed to drug use in America. We were in constant conflict with the CIA because it was hiding its budget in ours, and because CIA people were smuggling drugs into the US. We weren’t allowed to tell, and that fostered corruption in the Bureau.”
**Heroin smuggled by “CIA people” into the U.S. was channeled by Mafia distributors primarily to African-American communities. Local narcotic agents then targeted disenfranchised blacks as an easy way of preserving the white ruling class’s privileges.**"
While it is good to see there is progress being made in this crime situation, especially the murders, all senior police officers should should continue to search and research until they find out who is really fueling the fire of gangs and turf warfare and drugs and high powered weapons. Many of our young men are mere pawns and losing their lives in a gangster situation that is bigger than them. One they don't understand and some don't even know how they got involved or how to escape with their life. One of the biggest 'gangs' is one who are loyal to none and regularly kill their own 'soldiers' once their dirty work is completed or their secrets may be too valuable to risk being disclosed, even in a death bed confession. "There is a well-documented history of the U.S. government supplying weapons and arms to both friends and foe for political purposes and for profit. In addition to publicly known global arms deals to U.S. political allies like Israel and Saudi Arabia, revelations about the rise of ISIS indicate that U.S. arms and military trainees have been a critical factor in the rise of the terror group.
*From 2006 to 2011 the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms ran a gun smuggling operation into Mexico to ostensibly dismantle Mexican drug gangs, accomplishing the precise opposite however, in what has affectionately become known as Fast and Furious. Further back in time we have covert operations like Oliver North’s Iran Contra scandal of the mid 1980’s, and America’s involvement in arming rebels in Central America to destabilize uncooperative governments. The list goes on*."
Who killed Bob Marley. "A 79-year-old retired officer of the CIA, Bill Oxley, has made a series of stunning confessions since he was admitted to the Mercy Hospital in Maine on Monday and told he has weeks to live. He claims he committed 17 assassinations for the American government between 1974 and 1985, including the music icon Bob Marley.
Mr. Oxley, who worked for the CIA for 29 years as an operative with top-level security clearances, **claims he was often used as a hitman by the organization, to assassinate individuals who could represent a threat to the goals of the agency**." "****Sep 13, 2016 - Furthermore, it is alleged that the CIA, DEA and other government agencies have been involved for decades in the destruction of American communities by covertly shipping in drugs. Former DEA agent Cele Castillo has been persecuted by the U.S. government for seeking accountability of the George H.W.Bush administration for drug smuggling into the U.S. He would know as he was directly involved.**

Have you tried calling BTC's customer service number in the past few weeks? Actually since the hurricane threat in October. They have stopped answering this line completely.

They should have taken Fred Smith straight to Sandilands or a police detention. Everyone knows a visitor, attorney or not, is not allowed to take pictures in a high security area. If you do it in the US customs lounge you can be detained and/or denied entry into the United States. You cannot be a law abiding citizen by breaking the laws of the country or getting into tassels with law enforcement officers. Fred Smith seems to have come from a family of trouble makers.
