I am convinced that there is an undercover conspiracy to keep young Bahamian m3n killing each other. You do the math: 116 murders this year, only around 10 murder trials and barely 4 convictions. Which means there will be at least 100 persons on the streets who have committed murder. So yes there will be retaliation killings and revenge killings because in eyes of the public there is no punishment for murder and no justice for the victims. How is it that the government can find the means and the machinery to put VAT on the backs of Bahamian people but cant get courts open to bring courts open to bring justice to murdered victims and take killers of the streets permanently? How is it that the government can find ways and means to bring a carnival here to cater to foreigners but can't get the critical care block at the hospital open after the building has been sitting for three years? is there any connection between the number of bahamian men being murdered and the referendum they are trying to force into law? A bill that maybe is saying to the Bahamian women : "do not worry about your sons and husbands and uncles and Bahamian men getting killed! We will give you rights to go outside the country and import men into the country. And we will give these imported men the same rights and privliges as your murdered sons and husbands and uncles and bro5hers. WHO are these men they want to replace Bahamian men who are being murdered wholesale? Demand they fix the crime (murder) problem before they bring the referendum! demand it!

Were the pilots under duress to land the plane in Freeport thst caused them to override a professuonal decision to return to Nassau because of the deteriorating weather conditions?

Do you hear the under mummers of the VAT commission? They are saying VAT can be used to determine weather you should be in business or not
Do they really mean "(they) will use VAT to determine who stays in business?"

another one gunned down today on soldier road

oil price has fallen below $60.00 a barrel! Which means that your fuel surcharge on your electricity bill should be negative 5 or 6 cents by February which means your light bill should be reduced byc40 percent which means that a$600 light bill should by $360.00 and a $300.00 bill should be $180.00! Hold your breadth and wait for it!!!

So how high is the financial cliff? We have no mountains in the Bahamas...except for debt...mountains of it!

Then there is the Bank of the Bahamas rape for which no one was charged!

Well Miles Munroe prophesy is that many in this government will be removed (by death or otherwise) to make way for a new, powerful, clean and dynamic government that will elevate the Bahamas on the world stage. By mid 2015. Ryan decided to make room.

VAT is a big rat trap with an oversize piece of cheeze that will snare the unexpected. More than half the companies that registered for VAT are living from hand to mouth or on borrowed funds. They have to scrap to pay operating expenses from day to day and many have signed payment agreements with BEC, National Insurance, property tax and even for extended or delinquent bank loans. Now the government is telling them to collect VAT and turn it in in 30, 90 or 180 days. What do you think will happen to those funds when BEC comes to shut off the power or some other bill needs to be paid? Many business will fall into the trap of not having the funds to submit to government when the time comes and will not make it through the first year of VAT!

Sad.
