Min. Wells makes a good statement about government not requiring it - but we haven't heard anything about government standing up to banks and others who may choose to require proof of vaccination to enter their bank as a customer, and the MANY businesses who may require their employees to provide such proof. There was an article on this a few months ago, and no follow-up since.

My guess is that govt won't require it (cause that would be again the Constitution) - but business will. The Australian airline has already said it will require it to fly, and the CEO said other airlines have voiced similar thoughts in private conversations with him. We already need health visa to travel - perhaps that will now be a permanent thing and they will just invent new strains (like they did in UK last week) to keep the excuse up and running.

I predict that the world is going to see a crime wave like never before in history, as people find it increasingly impossible to exist as human beings under various governments' tyrannies.

It has been shown that the Covid virus is a very very smart virus. It knows when people are eating inside or outside of a restaurant. It knows the time on our clocks and makes decisions on whether to strike at 7pm or after 8pm (precise to the hour), and it is wise to know that healthy salt air from beaches is very healthy indeed and chooses to hang out at beaches a lot. Perhaps it also has an artistic bent, and is attracted to bright colours?

Experts in the USA have already said that mask wearing will be needed until at least September of next year - so can we glean from that that the virus also has a plan to defeat the vaccine? I'm only asking. Every day there is a new report - one today said that by June over 500,000 Americans will die from Corona. It almost seems like the vaccine is going to make no difference whatsoever. Americans are being told they must take the vaccine, but are also being told that nothing will change.

Mercy, yes - that's what we need. It's a sad state when people realize the reason we have such terrible prisons (here and abroad), is because if you could go to prison and have a roof over your head and food to eat and water to drink many would go tomorrow to improve their living conditions. I believe that's why the conditions are need to deter people from going.

You can't live on the outside and you can't live on the inside. So hard to live in this life for so many - but the belly swelling just can't stop.

Who's doing the manhunt? Are there any police on Abaco? I've heard varying stories.

The word might have gotten out that Bahamians were dining there and enjoying themselves.

Joe - what is your problem. Like xtreme said, read. The police were contacted. So funny how they referred to complaints unit which is just other police. Fox guarding the hen house. Don't worry - there will be dancing in the streets on July 10th.

"Instead of renegotiating higher royalty rates for the benefit of the Public Treasury and proposed Sovereign Wealth Fund, Mr Bethel said his predecessors left the structure that has existed from 2007 to the present day untouched and only increased the seabed lease rates for those five areas from $57,500 to $250,000."

That sounds good. Perhaps he could put his money where his mouth is by bringing a bill to the House floor that says that the oil company pays no money to the government until AFTER the sovereign wealth fund has been established?

Even more serious would be to say that the profits be split evenly among NIB accounts (of those aged 18 and over who are living) and none go to sovereign wealth fund or our infamous "consolidated" fund. That would of course mean that the Bahamian people would actually get the profits from this discovery - and we know for sure that can't be allowed to happen. So sit back and watch as untold amounts of money move from points A to B without us knowing the amounts or the A or the B.

Canada and France have serious laws that curtail free speech. After the Charlie-Hebdo massacre was reported by Fox as being carried out by "Islamic" terrorists, the mayor of Paris threatened to sue them for that statement. Here in the Bahamas we have very sensitive defamation laws and you need to be really careful what you say about someone (esp if that someone can afford a lawyer).

More troubling than that, however, (because that war has already been pretty much lost) - is the fact that entire subjects are simply off limits for any intelligent discussion. Covid has joined the ranks of such topics as 9-11, The Glass-Steagall Act, Uranium One, Iran-Contra, the Kennedy assassination, the Holocaust, the bombing of Pearl Harbor, and of course the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913.

The mere mention of any of those topics immediately brands you as a conspiracy theorist. The power of the media to control public opinion has been well studied and well tested over and over again. Proven, really. Such power allows the CIA to carry out any acts it feels in its own unregulated "wisdom" are necessary. Maintaining a very horrible education system both here and in the USA and elsewhere ensures that the argument can always be made that the people are not wise enough to understand these decisions in any event. Thomas Jefferson said that democracy cannot exist without an educated populace. Knowing the populace we have today (worldwide), do you really believe we live in a democracy?

Poor nurse Williams. She must not have gotten the memo. The Bible has been edited by the news media. It now reads "Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Dr. Fauci is Lord."

Except people won't be free Honestman. There is no law been passed that says employers cannot bar you from the workplace unless you show proof of having had the vaccine. No law that requires other businesses to allow you in as a customer - banks, insurance companies, medical centers, etc, and government offices like drivers license and NIB.

So what will likely happen is that government will not require you to have the vaccine, but they will just stand idly by and allow every clown who wants to make up their own rules do so - and many will be unemployed or otherwise harmed by not receiving services required to sustain life.

The goal is clearly to MAKE everyone become vaccinated. This is showing to be true in the USA since while there is a cry that there is currently not enough vaccines available for those who need them - there has been no suggestion that those who have already tested positive an recovered can hold off for the time being if they choose to. Nope - they are required like everyone else.
