If you read my very first post you can deduce that I constructed it totally from my own thoughts and imagination and my own opinion of the crisis stemming from the unauthorized signing of the LOI by one Mr. Renward Wells who has, after being asked to resign by one prime minister of the Bahamas and after some three months of refusing to resign, been fired by the one and the same Perry Gladstone Christie, who many persons felt were acting weak and indecisive in the whole matter, especially since his DPM, at one point, at least, felt that Renward Wells should not resign or be fired, which was in total contradiction to the PM's posture. My references to, and quotations from, google and other sources was to put a universal perspective on the issue, rather to give a precieved appearance of making a personal attack and also to show that wrongdoing and corruption is not new under the sun nor exclusive to politicians in the Bahamas. Drawing from the words and quotations of internationally famous and globally powerful people tend to give weight and credence to my own point of view and opinion.

"The right to silence in England and Wales is the protection given to a person during criminal proceedings from adverse consequences of remaining silent. It is sometimes referred to as the privilege against self-incrimination. It is used on any occasion when it is considered the person(s) being spoken to is under suspicion of potential criminal proceedings."

Least we forget: The BUTLER family served this country and was involved in politics for over 50 years. They are generally frugal and hardworking people, who struggled to obtain dignity, equality and respect for the majority Bahamians in this country. Most importantly, during the more than half of a century the family was involved in politics, they have not been linked to any major scandal or acts of wrongdoing. Mrs. Loretta Butler-Turner is as qualified as any other Bahamian to head the FNM, as is Mr. Hubert Minnis and once the race for leadership is over the party should unite and prepare for the next election.

All's well that ends well! But seems that Stellar Waste to Energy Management is having problems of their own and either is not a company the government wants to do business with or or at least the company needs to clarify certain matters of its own first. If Wells and the PM and the DPM chooses to remain silent on the LOI controversy the speculation will abound and shadows are cast on all their characters.

Loretta's grandfather used his weight to his advantage when he was in politics: He use to go into The Royal Bank of Canada, main branch, on Bay Street and thrown himself on the counter and demand the bank hire more blacks. By the time they had rounded up enough police officers to lift him off the counter the bank had to be shut down. Then was it A.D. Hanna who complained of discrimination when he and Sir Milo had to be physically removed from the House of Assembly. A.D. said they sent ***six*** police officers for Sir Milo but only two for him.

And how many shootings and murders? every time da Bell opens his mouth crime escalates.

to renward wells:***That was what you did. You died. You did not know what it was about. They threw you in and told you the rules and the first time they caught you off base they killed you. Or they killed you gratuitously like Aymo. Or gave you the syphilis like Rinaldi. But they killed you in the end. You could count on that. Stay around and they would kill you.”
― Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms ***

Democracy must be built through open societies that share information. When there is information, there is enlightenment. When there is debate, there are solutions. When there is no sharing of power, no rule of law, no accountability, there is abuse, corruption, subjugation and indignation.

The longer I live, the more I feel that the individual is not so much to blame - not even the worst individuals, not even the 'best' citizens - as the system of corruption which has grown up about us, and which rewards an honest man with a mere living and a crook with all the magnificence of our magnificent modern life.
