Bah Mar is another golden calf the Chinese built in honor of their God. They never intended for it to open. And now they dare the (Bahamian) government to make them do otherwise. Then it no longer a bank with a mortgage but a communist country owned bank with a mortgage. A mortgage that has the people's assets tied up (or down). Where is the sovereignty of the Bahamas now? O king Christie? Maybe it's time you go to God for answers and not to yourself

In order for the economy to grow the government must first eliminate one of its forms of double taxation. Either VAT must go or customs duties must be eliminated. Secondly it must STOP giving tax concessions preferences to select persons, companies and sectors of the economy. If the need be to reduce taxes, then reduces taxes for all. Thirdly government must show confidence in its own economy by investing in it. Capital development dummy. Borrowing is at it's lowest rate in mirder now history. Government can renegotiate much of its loan portfolio at much lower interest rates and borrow more money without increasing its tax burden or interest exposure. It can do much needed capital works in New Providence and the family islands and thereby stimulate the economy by reducing unemployment and increasing economic activity. Tax Revenue will also increase and start the much needed growth. Government must also reduce t'ief ing. Yes too much government revenue is going missing and unaccounted for. Move the greasy, crummy fingers away from the cookie jar but not to a higher (PM's) office

a staged event. Christie will obviously "crush" him even with the thousands of $US he had stashed in his closet. Politics and politicians, Just like toilet paper was made to clean up afterwards. Not to worry not only are the PLP gang busy at work to make themselves look better (shoe polish in the hair and popularity among young voters and sweeping scandals under the carpet and the Oriental rug (not to mention the Bah Mar Chinese) but they are also busy at work trying to destabilize the official opposition and to make them appear weak and divided. Christie and the PLP have a lot riding on this Election 2017. So why don't they call on their Chinese gangsters to help bail them out and open Bah Mar...except Bah Mar now taste like Ribeana in Bahamian people's mouth.. Not that good and the benefits are yet to be proven.

There's proof than one can make money, million$, in this country by just suing people, corporations and the government. Is this what we want our culture to become?

At least he is still alive after the $6 million damage he did. Another young black boy was shot dead after he stole a Jaguar car and tried to evade police. The police shot after the fleeing car and after they captured the teen they held him down and shot him in the back. Dead. But little did they realize the web cam in the police cruiser was still recording when they made up their story that the boy had shot at them first. The teen was unarmed and no weapons were found.

The Tesla Company has under currently under construction in the Nevada Dessert the largest factory in the USA and maybe one of the largest in the world. This plant will be manufacturing batteries. Batteries for automobiles, for home solar systems and for practically any other application batteries can be used for. At peak the factory will be making 500,000 batteries a year. The Tesla family are decendants of of Nicola Tesla, an American inventor who did a lot toward the development and distribution of electricity. Tesla (the inventor) had an invention idea where he would build very huge towers around the city and send electricity to homes and businesses wirelessly. At that time the government thought his idea was to dangerous and on his death ordered his notes be destroyed and also the test towers he built. Today wireless energy is in full use in the forms of remote controls, cellular phones and even lasers. There are now early means to charge cell phone batteries wireless and Tesla believe that the means to charge auto and other batteries without connecting is not far off. This will revolunize the auto industry, and hence they are getting a jump start by having the capacity to produce batteries.

You know Fred M is going through the jugdes files with a fine tooth comb and trying to find a way to terminate her contract Early and even have her deport her from the Bahamas. How dare someone in the government's employ and on a work permit intimidate, embarrass and cripple the government in this fashion? And especially after Izmitilian was accused of threatening the sovereignty of the Bahamas, simply because he filed for bankruptcy to protect his interest in Bah Mar? Now the fate of Bah Mar sits in the hands of the communist Chinese whobseem determine to sponge every cent of Izmirilian,s investment. And the gover of the Bah Mar seems to have been emasculated by the judges ruling against it and in favor of rogue QC Fred Smith and Save the Bays. Lord deliver us!

Government and health officials must be cautious if this. Choose the pesticides or insecticides carefully. There are reports that it is not the Zika virus that is causing small heads and other deformities in newborns, but the chemicals used to spray the mosquitoes and treat water to prevent the mosquito lavae from hatching..
.
""In the area where most sick persons live, a chemical larvicide producing malformations in mosquitoes has been applied for 18 months, and that this poison (pyroproxifen) is applied by the State on drinking water used by the affected population," the report, published by Argentinian group Physicians in Crop-Sprayed Towns (PCST) last week, states. "

Reports are that Brazil use to spray this same chemical from airplanes over the areas where most deformed babies are being born. However the report, so far has no scientific evidence and is inconclusive.

McCartney is wishfully thinking. The FNM had a lot of housecleaning to do and now persons can see what the real party looks like. Some are still uncertain whether they can support the "Minnis led FNM and yes they are very disappointed with how things transpired. Fuel was added to the fire been Hubert Ingraham seem to be endorsing Perry Christie for another term as prime minister. And it leads one to wonder what led to this. So no the FNM is not yet dead but s lot of dirty political trickery is afoot and at hand, for that matter.
