Has anyone ever tho the high level of crime and murder may have been international instigated, if only for economic reasons? The sale of guns and coffins and even c one fighting equipment. Not to mention the loss in revenue from tourism and other events.

Don't you know smart tv's, the cable Bahamas cable box, computers, smart phones all have the capacity to spy on you and send information, including video with sound where it can be viewed, recorded and stored? This is all leading up the New World Order one world system where they will monitor your every move, including sex and what you eat and how often you eat. Then they will come arrest you and execute you of throw you in jail after you have committed a number of infractions. No need for a trial because they will have everything documented. So the next time so the cable guy comes to upgrade your service or your picture goes off and you have to call him remember he may also be installing/repositioning/ upgrading secret spyware.

It is most likely SALT poisoning. Pigs did not get enough fresh water and so the salt water 'purified ' all the other toxins in their body and made them vulnerable to poison

Many travelers are opting for shorter cruises and so rather than seeing Cuba as a threat eventually there can be cruises that go from Florida to Cuba via the Bahamas. And of course the Bahamas is still lacking in activities to cater to the cruise ship tourist. Both Potters Cay and Arawak Cay fish fry has become very popular and even with the introduction of life guards on long Wharf and Montagu, these spots have become popular with tourist. Many want to seem to want to mix and mingle with Bahamians and get the natural sun, sea salt, coconut water and conch salad. which the larger hotels do not supply in their traditional form.

Unfortunately many retailers have seen huge falloffs in business since Hurricane Mathew in October and the first two months of 2017, has been extremely slow, (New providence stores included. Some feel that iit is not only the effects of the hurricane, but also the effects of the recovery as many home owners divert funds to repair their properties and/or have to replace destroyed furniture, vehicles and personal items. Unfortunately many persons chose to go abroad to purchase these items so there was little or no stimulus to the local economy. Also the result of VAT has to be factored in as retailers are still trying to find a middle ground and adjust their prices sufficiently to accommodate for VAT. The 7.5% adjustment as suggested by government did not cut the mustard as they way government calculates the VAT adds an additional 12-15% average on the cost of carrying inventory. (much more for car companies or stores that carry items that have a high customs duty on them. So even though most of the VAT is recovered when an item is sold, the burden of VAt is put on a company's cash flow. And if they are operating with a loan or overdraft facility as opposed to their own cash, the cost is much greater. Then also the anticipation of election has affected sales. Some persons have become anxious about the possible change in government, while others are hopeful the government will change.So in the maintime they have cut back on spending. At least in the interim. As sill season goes in to full effect and government and political parties spend money like drunken sailors, there will be a spike in the economy. Crime also has effect on the economy as people have cut back on their social activities. They go out less so the spend less and they also need less clother and asessories.

"*Pigs and swine are so poisonous that you can hardly kill them with strychnine or other poisons. Swine and pigs have over a dozen parasites within them, eg tapeworms, flukes, worms, and trichinae. There is no safe temperature at which pork can be cooked to ensure that they will be killed.*"

" **Salt** and chocolate are two foods you never want to feed to your pig. Pigs can acquire salt poisoning from having too much salt in their diets. In some cases pigs are highly allergic to chocolate." ***too much salt water?***..where do they get drinking water from anyway?
.
"A pig’s digestive system—unlike a cow’s—is not designed to filter toxins from its system. These toxins work their way through the pig and are deposited in the animal’s flesh—especially in its fat. The pig itself is actually able to sustain very high levels of toxins. As such, it can eat just about anything. In an effort to keep feed costs down, pig farmers will purchase garbage, such as rotting meat and vegetables, to feed them—and the pigs can be sustained with it. There is nothing in the animal’s digestive system, or the processing of the meat, that removes these toxins.

The time it takes for these things to be assimilated is more interesting. For most animals, this is a much slower process, taking perhaps 12 to 24 hours. This gives an animal’s digestive system time to filter toxins, poisons and deadly parasites from entering the bloodstream and being deposited in its flesh. Also, because many foods can build muscle, greater time is required for that muscle to form.

The same is not true for a pig. Much of what it eats can be assimilated much more quickly. Not only does this mean that toxins are not filtered, but also most of the flesh takes the form of fat!"

"
.*Some of the “cleaning” features of the pig are remarkable. One is located under its hooves. Often referred to as poison ducts or running sores, these “sores” act as a conduit for poisons to ooze from the pig’s body. This is one reason pigs can eat poisonous snakes that would kill other creatures and not be affected themselves. These ducts, however, will often become “plugged” from the amount of toxins pigs must excrete from their bodies. If this is the case, a farmer must quickly slaughter the pig and send it to market before it dies. Accordingly, the meat from such an animal is riddled with parasites and toxins*."

So what did they do? Send Mr. Chipman out of town (With Fred Mitchell)and debate the bill in his absence. then critize him from being absent from the HOA? What criminals!!!

This is nothing new in this country. The politicians pass laws they don't intend to abide by. So not only do they become filthy rich overnight but they prevent legitimate businesses from making a profit. They government becomes seeped in debt and so they go back to the parliament and pass laws to increase taxes even more. And every they do this they give themselves a greater advantage. That's how eight families in the world control as much wealth as all the rest of the population in the world combined.

Has any politician disclosed yin 5 years yet as required by law? It was common knowledge that the courier companies were not paying customs duties on much of the packages they were bringing in and a number of the owners became multi- millionaires overnight. It is also common knowledge that certain stores in this country bring hundreds if not thousands of containers annually and only pay pennies on the dollar of what is owed to customs. In many cases the businesses are owned by politicians or operated by their families. This makes it near impossible for legitimate businesses to operate and cover all their expenses, taxes included. You can bet that once Wilson touches one of these 'sacred cows ', he will be stripped of his powers, sent to some remote office to shuffle paper and be given a roll of duct tape to keep his mouth shut.
