Or, in the least, dereliction of duty.

The only thing the PLP needs to do now is investigate who among its ranks is benefiting from crime and who among the police force may be aiding and abetting criminals. With over 1,100 murders under the same police administration it is time to start with investigating officers who stand over victims dead bodies and claim the person was a prolific offender, or he was wearing an ankle bracelet when he was killed or he has been recently released from prison. These statements give reason that the persons making the statements have motives for murder. And beyond that they show prejudice towards the victims and, by their own act demonstrate they do not intend or do not have the capacity to investigate the victims' murder without prejudice. And based on that premise, the perpetrator of the crime may go unpunished and so the police may be an accessory after the fact.

Whether the PLP wins this election or not there will be an obvious changing of the guard. Perry Christie will have to fight hard to retain his seat so will V. Alfred Gray, Bernard Nottage Allison Maynard Gibson among others. Obie Wilchombe and Michael Halkitis and Jerome Fritzgerald will be running on tarnished credibilities and while Shane Gibson and Leslie Miller may have favor with the people, the electorate is looking beyond that. After over a decade of hard times they are looking for help and hope. On the other hand they seem more willing to give Hubert Minnis a chance, if only to get away from the PLP for a while. Many still view the DNA as a new kid on the block with more growing up to do. Some still view the DNA as spoilers of the last election. And Loretta Butler-Turner will be the most lonely and Lone Ranger candidate in the Election 2017, if nothing changes before nomination day. Her behavior towards Hubert Minnis was the same as Hillary Clinton's towards Batak Obama in the two US elections prior to the last one. The outcome of the referendum on gender equality should have cautioned her that Bahamians, women especially, are not yet ready to have Bahamian males bullied or controlled, especially in public places, by overly aggressive and overly ambitious women. She was the second in command of both the Opposition and the FNM and was a good compliment to Hubert Minnis. Now she faces one of the most uncertain elections in her political history. But yes the PLP if fighting for its life and a defeat at the polls will lead to a tough road of rebuilding ahead.

This will be one of the Most lonely and miserable elections ever for Loretta Butler-Turner. Having to run as an independent candidate and feeling her support shift from under her feet, not unlike when an earthquake strikes and shifts the ground under your feet. And the election results may not be much more comforting to Mrs Butler Turner. But the making of the situation is none other than her own. She never learned to sit small so now she must sit alone.

Bringing money or shutting up?

@COBALT and to think you are a US citizen!

A fisherman never calls his fish stink...

But what now will happen that Donald Trump has won the presidency instead of Hillary Clinton? Trump on the election trail had promised to drain the swamp in Washington and expose all the skeletons buried in it. But like many of his campaign promises, he is finding that this too may be an impossibility, not because the swamp is too deep, but the number of skeletons are too great. He was about to authorize troops and tanks to march into Chicago to kill up and arrest and lock up young blacks and Hispanics, but he was warned by community leaders to do more research and to exercise caution before he take any actions. Leaked documents show that a president and presidential elect was responsible for throwing thousands of young black youth into jails and exposing them to drugs and experiments that have them with completely altered personalities and behaviors, that Hillary Clinton described them as 'severely damaged goods that need to be put away." But that is not the worst of Americas problems. White Americans are also panicking and distancing themselves from Donald Trump. Many feel that he will intentionally or in-advertantly lead America into a war it cannot win. So many are packing their families and leaving. they are not coming to the Bahamas or Canada, but they are going as far away as Australia and the United Kingdom. They have witnessed what has happened to American war veterans over the past years. Many are left homeless and do not receive proper care, medical or care otherwise. In fact some reports show that **22** war vets commit suicide in the US everyday. One every 65 minutes. So America has her internal problems to battle. But what exactly is the real relationship between the Unite States and china? Why is China now taking on the personality of the United States. Going into other countries far and wide and making her economic presence felt? Why did china give out own government a supply of military arms and weapons as a gift?

SO who in the past 10-20 years did not realize that America was no longer first? When was the last time you bought something in America that said on the label 'made in America?' America has spent the past 10-20 years destroying herself, both from within and externally by creating so many enemies, she has to spend so much of her revenue on defense, she has virtually bankrupted herself. Internally America had decided that rather than allow its Black and Hispanic citizens to have jobs and to earn a living and to live comfortably, she would shut sown her factories, outsource the jobs to Asia and to Mexico and to force is Black and Hispanic populations into unemployment and into poverty. But it did not stop there. The inner cities were flooded with drugs and guns and with the populations being broke and unemployed, they turned on one another killing up each other in the thousands. The most popular weapon now on the streets in these inner-cities, Chicago and Detroit and Atlanta, and Compton and Memphis and many more is the AK-47. The AK-47 is an assault rifle that was designed in the United States but manufactured in China (getting the picture?). This weapon is now showing up in the Caribbean and even here in the Bahamas. And despite the many decades America spent fighting the war she declared on drugs, she is now cultivating and distributing locally, the same drugs she was at war for. But this is nothing new to America. It is well documented that as far back as the '80's America through the CIA sold drugs to supply weapons to the Contra rebels in Nicargua. If Hillary Clinton had won the presidency, the plan was to start rounding up (unemployed and 'gang' member Blacks and Hispanics and throw them into jails and prison camps. Many would have been slaughtered as tanks and troops marched into cities with orders to shoot on site, and shoot to kill. Remember China also had soldiers open fire on protesting students, killing many of them and calling them 'rebels'. America has also displayed its Black youth to the world as 'young savages who are killing up one another and resisting the forces of the police. We, too, here in the Bahamas, mostly through ignorance, are launching assaults on young, unemployed, disorientated youth and tossing them into jails, not realizing that they will be 10 times the problem when they are released, not only because of being exposed to the prison environment, but because they feel that they did nothing wrong to go to jail.

See how dangerously greedy this man is. He wants the government to start doing what he was doing for decades: preying on less fortunate individuals. He wants to make it illegal to be poor or to fall on hard times in the Bahamas. And if and when it does happen to you, the government is to step in and take your property. Not even 'aquire' it but seize it..who can support a government with this form of thinking?
