Who is buying into this absolute hogwash again?

That's exactly what they want. they want the voters to focus on persons and personalities rather than concerns and issues. This is a tactic Donald trump used very effectively. Once he 'injured' his opponents with personal attacks and slander, they became too damaged and weak in the public's eye. The US elections was based on bullying. A new type reality show almost. Americans loved it and so before they knew it it gave them a new president, like him or love him.

you to work early

Expect a lot of personal information and misinformation (lies) to be put out in the public., and money in abundance, especially if polls show the party 'favored' is behind in the numbers. Then when it is all over many Bahamians will spend the next 5 years sucking their teeth.

Will there be international interference in the Bahamas General Elections? At least one country is seriously interested in the outcome of the Bahamas Elections and may already have foot soldiers on the ground working. During the controversy about whether or not Russia interfered in the US elections, it was revealed that the US, too, has interfered in elections of other countries. As many as 81 since WWII. and they have been involved in coups that have toppled Governments.

"The U.S. has a long history of attempting to influence presidential elections in other countries – it’s done so as many as 81 times between 1946 and 2000, according to a database amassed by political scientist Dov Levin of Carnegie Mellon University.

That number doesn’t include military coups and regime change efforts following the election of candidates the U.S. didn’t like, notably those in Iran, Guatemala and Chile. Nor does it include general assistance with the electoral process, such as election monitoring.

Levin defines intervention as “a costly act which is designed to determine the election results [in favor of] one of the two sides.” These acts, carried out in secret two-thirds of the time, include funding the election campaigns of specific parties, disseminating misinformation or propaganda, training locals of only one side in various campaigning or get-out-the-vote techniques, helping one side design their campaign materials, making public pronouncements or threats in favor of or against a candidate, and providing or withdrawing foreign aid.

In 59% of these cases, the side that received assistance came to power, although Levin estimates the average effect of “partisan electoral interventions” to be only about a 3% increase in vote share.

The U.S. hasn’t been the only one trying to interfere in other countries’ elections, according to Levin’s data. Russia attempted to sway 36 foreign elections from the end of World War II to the turn of the century – meaning that, in total, at least one of the two great powers of the 20th century intervened in about 1 of every 9 competitive, national-level executive elections in that time period."

Not getting in rich people row but consider this: It costs more than $500,000.00 to become a resident of Lyford Cay. Time as you purchase the lot you are already half ways there, at least. Now what were they arguing about again?

If a man calling The Bahamian people 'shitty' and "wurthless, he deserves more than just one finger ok. We have no problem with foreigners.Many of them come here and set up legitimate businesses and respect bahamian people and never have a problem. The problem is with 'dem set' who come here with ideas and no money, or with ideas and little money and expect Bahamians to finance their dreams. They show no respect for Bahamians. Then they pocket millions on the backs of Bahamians. Millions that they bag up and take out of the country. Or if their ideas go bellies up they pack up and leave the country leaving the country leaving millions in unpaid bills and taxes. And they grab headlines about crime and violence in the Bahamas. The story that Bahamians are violent and dangerous people is a big lie. The tale that they are lazy and don't want to work is an even greater lie. But wait! the recent CIA leaks will not only reveal who was behind the crime, and violence and murder in many countries like the Bahamas and who was planting the guns and tainted drugs in poor "ghetto" neighborhoods,drugs that causes people to turn against each other and kill up one another. Drugs that at least two presidents admitted, somewhat unwittingly, was developed in the US, by the CIA, using poor black males in their experiments.but those who leaked the 7,000 plus page document, claims they will also be releasing names of CIA operatives. So you soon see a lot of familiar faces diappearing as they run for cover and hide. The cowards who help cause the deaths of hundreds of Bahamians will run and hide. But they can't run fron God and they cannot hide. There was snow in the desert..remember? Then there will be peace in this country (and many more others) again. God is in control. And he neither slumbers nor sleeps.

The bottom line is America is now playing her "Trump" card. The game is almost over. The Prince (Obama) went riding off into that (not too silent) good night. The Queen (hillary) got spanked and was sent home to rest. The Kings are realizing that not only are they losing the game, but time is running out. After slavery became illegal, they were told that America cannot stand and continue to be great without slave (forced labor.) So they found another way to do it. They allowed you (Americans) to take home a paycheck, but most of it goes back to the government. Then they dd ithe same here and in the rest of the Caribbean. ANd even in Africa. They (USA) own up everything. And so the money comes to the Bahamas, but have to go back to Uncle Sam Same for other countries. With the introduction of VAT even more money was drawn out of the Bahamas and "America dependent countries. So much so that the economies of these countries are drying up and near to collapsing.Then they turn you against your government and against your people. So now that people are realizing that they have been had, bamboozled, hood winked and economically enslaved. So there is going to be an economic rebellion. Just look on the streets. Bahamians, Jamaicans, and others are no longer buying American cars, they are buying from Japan. The same with electronics and other durable goods. So the Macy's and Wal Marts and J.c.Penny's and Targets and K-Marts are closing down. Gas is now almost back to what it was when oil was over $150.00 a barrel. So the gas stations are mostly empty. People despite having smaller cars are choosing to drive less. So Trump is going to sink America when he goes on his spending binge and finds there is no money coming in. Obama already reduced the unemployment rate to under 5% and the president is kicking out undocumented workers. So where are the workers going to come from? A shortage of workers will mean a jump in wages. Wage increases lead to inflation. Inflation without real growth in the economy leads to stagflation (economy is stagnant but prices still increase. Then when the bubble really bursts you have severe depression. Blacks and poor white Americans are already displaced out of homes and jobs so the affect on them will not be as drastic as it was in 2008. The greatest impact will be on the middle class, who will become America's new working poor.

"If it were not for the tourists and the investors we'd be a completely failed nation"

You sound so ignorant and lame. That is what you want us to believe. If the cruise lines coming here and building their own privet ports, staffing it with their own people and equipment how is that benefitting the people of the Bahamas? May as well sell them the sand and let them build beaches in Florida and call it Bahamas. Your statements lack logic, they lack common sense.

yes Cainn I have always been very committed. Now what's your excuse ole boy?
