But what many foreign governments fail to realize is that U.S. drug agents don’t confine themselves to simply fighting narcotics traffickers. “DEA is actually one of the biggest spy operations there is,” says Finn Selander, a former DEA special agent who works with the drug-reform advocacy group Law Enforcement Against Prohibition. “Our mandate is not just drugs. We collect intelligence.”
legalize cannabis now!!! This make's no sense! It was very naive to our dinosaurs in Bahamas Government to think that, even though bills is currently or has been introduced in every state in the U.S.A to legalize MJ for recreational or medicinal purpose, they (U.S.A) was still having a 'build up' of DEA and FBI agents in The Bahamas (less than 400,000 people) and still giving millions of dollars! Now every cellphone call including those in the Government is being recorded!!! just for dope?????? what about these guns??? It's call economic sabotage! We brought China on their 'doorsteps' now this is what we get!!!!.................................. ............................................. ...........................................
The documents don’t spell out how the NSA has been able to tap the phone calls of an entire country. But one memo indicates that somalget data is covertly acquired under the auspices of “lawful intercepts” made through Drug Enforcement Administration “accesses”– legal wiretaps of foreign phone networks that the DEA requests as part of international law enforcement cooperation.
When U.S. drug agents need to tap a phone of a suspected drug kingpin in another country, they call up their counterparts and ask them set up an intercept. To facilitate those taps, many nations – including the Bahamas – have hired contractors who install and maintain so-called lawful intercept equipment on their telecommunications.
'Scare tactics' will not work, I hate to sound like a pessimist, but many study have shown they do not work. We are living in an information age, IMHO these kids will get more 'street cred' with this program. What we need is education & opportunity... But with politicians and many religious leaders just lining their own pockets, with rampant cronyism, especially when there is no connected father in the home, because for the past 40 years, it's who you know or what you have to offer those that have or in position to give. Many of the young girls know they have what many of the older men want and the younger gay men too, but to be young, straight and not indoctrinated you are in problems! Seems like everyone has to 'pimp' themselves out to someone to get ahead in The Bahamas. ------- A few years ago I interviewed at one of the largest and most respected employer in The Bahamas, With what I considered to be a very good resume, after years in consumer banking, a college degree a stable family and one of many Bahamians living in foreign countries wanting to come home and better our Bahamaland, The director of HR did not ask for or try confirm any college or work history, he ask for my BJC's and BGCSE's... I've been out of high school for more than 30 years! If this is what I encounter, what about those young men who don't have what I've obtained? Many of these dinosaurs use job, hiring, job security, promotion etc as a means for selfish reasons and their own job security. Keeping the status quo to ensure they remain relavent and employed. I will admit, as a young male growing up in the Bahamas, it can be intimidating because you have to constantly defend yourself from physical harm, just like the girls have to constantly defend themselves from both physical and sexual harm, it's very frustrating especially with limited education and no job skills, and sometimes if you do have it, who you know or what do you have to offer me may render you unemployable! Not to mention the disastrous "war on drugs" when it comes to the black community especially 'those young black men'. Let's face it, when we copy draconian, racist laws from the U.S we cannot expect not to experience the residual effect like they do. e-d-u-c-a-t-i-o-n & o-p-p-o-r-t-u-n-i-t-y is the key!!!
WOW! This comment, leaves nothing else for me to say, and I know I can be a bit 'long winded'.. great comment sp!!
---------At what point will the PLP and FNM stop looking for scape goats and admit crime is a direct result of a lack of education and opportunity? ------ We are not experiencing the residual effect of a broken educational, political and hypocritically indoctrinated system. The chickens has come home to roost! My father died when I was 1 year old, Mom was a party animal, I had to work from since I was 14, moved to the U.S and hustle my own way through college. College was fun, but I know had to do what I had to do, I had no one to fall back on... Education and Opportunity is powerful!!!!
Whether this story is true or false. Like I've said before in numerous post: If you're in an inappropriate relationship with ANY so call Religious Leaders, I encourage you to expose them!!! Christianity should not be used as a pyramid money making scheme, it's a personal inward relationship, a choice of life anyone choose to live not a racket used to take advantage of the uninformed, poor and/or uneducated. don't talk it if you can't walk it. It definitely should not be some political threat with a selfish, greedy agenda, while stopping the progress of a Progressive democratic nation. We live in an information age, many hypocritical dinosaurs reject change simply because they have already 'mastered' the status quo, will 'die' embarrassingly hard!
---------- Speaking to a childhood friend and a church member of Pastor Hall today about this, her response was, "We already know he have Sweetheart(S) but we don't think this is him, someone put his name there, anybody can do that!"-------------- SMH
In conclusion, to be 'sinful' and not stupid is an oxymoron Dr. Hall, because not knowing the second or hour of his 'coming', wanting your long white robe and your mansion not made by hands, but still being sinful is... NO sin CANNOT enter there remember??? ANYWAY no one's perfect, If this is true, this will go away quicker than Bishop Randy in the church office. This man is well connected... It's amazing that before being exposed, these 'religious leaders' constantly referred to themselves as "The body of Christ" not having 'spot or wrinkle' however, when they get caught-up or exposed they then claims to be a sinner just like those Marijuana smokers, Drunks, Predatory Priest, Pedophile Bishops, Gays, Adulterers, Fornicators and Politicians? whom they was given 'divine authority' on earth to condemn every Sunday morning AFTER they had collected 'The Building Fund'...
