the prince of aribia says $100.00 per barrel oil is a thing of the past and will not be seen again in the near future or at least not in the next five years. There was a plan afoot that started around 2000 to artificially inflate the price of oil and petroleum products to a point where gasoline would be selling the US for around $11.00 per gallon and in the United Kingdom and Canada for around $13.00 per gallon. That would have meant a price of between $17.00 and $20.00 per gallon in the Bahamas and some Caribbean nations. The plan of these elitist was not only to create a false shortage of oil and reap huge windfall profits as was seen with EXXON a few years ago, but they also wanted to restrict the mobility of the masses. Many persons would not have been able to put fuel in their vehicles when the gas prices hit double digits and airline travel would have been reserved for the rich and famous. The average consumer would barely be able to light his home and air conditioning for many would have been unthinkable. Fortunately the bottom fell out of that plan and a world global recession revealed that the earth is virtually swimming in oil. Not only that but alternative and renewable sources of energy have been developed and many persons who are sitting oil reserves fear they may become obsolete and so they decided to dump them. This has lead to a glut on the oil market, even with Russia, being shut out of the market by US sanctions. OPEC nations are refusing to cut back on production to allow the more expensive US and Canadian oil to get a good share of the market. No one is sure where this will end but many predict that the market will see $30 or $25 per barrel oil, before this summer. Many jobs will be lost in the oil industry as many companies will not find it feasible to drill for expensive oil or many refineries will scale down their operations or even shut down completely. The consumer can help determine how long the 'more than affordable energy market" lasts by continuing to conserve energy and restrict consumption. Of course when prices of airline tickets start to fall more people will travel, and once motorists become confident that gas prices will stay low, the 8,10 and 12 cylinder gas guzzlers may return to the highways. To the oil billionaires: old people use to say, "You can do what you like when you like, but you can't do it as long as you like." to that is say to them ' go drink oil!"

Customs seem to be in a "do as they see fit mode." This being to the detriment of local businesses and importers. At LPIA customs officers were charging the old duty rates and adding the VAT on top of it! So some merchants found themselves paying an additional 12-15% tax on their imports. Then the officers were keeping the importers receipts and the customs cashier was issuing cash receipts without the customs or the customer's tin number on it. Yet Gestapo John Rolle in the press running on about how businesses will be fined for various infractions. If the government agency responsible for collecting VAt aint gat their act together yet on this VAt issue, how you gonna be threatening businesses what are trying to comply. John Rolle looking for promotion aye?

How much BEC is ripping off the Bahamian consumer every month when oil is now below $50 a barrel and the price has been falling for at least six months. Yet BEC bills are at their highest ever! ***bribe that!!!***

The government HAS created 10,000 new jobs! Got the Chinese at Bah Mar and other various projects. Hundreds of Haitians have been sent (or gone) home. Yet the employment rate for Bahamians is climbing. Will the turn around happen between March and June 2015?

Well at least Paris became United and rallied against the threat of terrorism. The Bahamian government is yet to stand united on crime or even show unity is support for any rallies against crime

The French connection?

Meanwhile pm Perry Christie condemns Paris attacks. What is the French connection?

Another compelling reason : Perry G.( G for GO) Christie will find that outside of politics he cannot afford to live his lifestyle (though not lavish) in the Bahamas he help create! The middle class and lower upper class has been anniliated.

The most compelling reason for Perry Christie to run in 2017: ***hubert alexander ingraham***

Who said, "When I become prime minister, I ger prosecute ya back sides straight ta jail?"
That was the problem then and that is the problem now. Not enuff prosections for criminals. Too many people are doing crime and getting away with it, again and again. AND unless you willing to "prosecute their back sides straight to jail", then aint much you could do about crime. If you is a coward when it comes to bringing criminals to justice then all you doing is shooting the breeze. You can be as visible as the sun, as active as the energizer bunny and as vigilant as King Arthur and his knights: "He hardly touched the sword....Now use it to make justice and right prevail **in all** the land!"
