We are a failed state.
The fish rots from the head down.
We should pass a law saying that if you have ever been in politics here, you are unable to hold office again.
Sure, we'll lose a few good ones. But, very few.
Time to start a new day, with entirely new leaders.

The greatest fraud perpetrated in this country is Batelco against the Bahamian people.
We pay high prices, are promised decent, acceptable service, yet it is never delivered.
I have been reporting this fraud for years now.
Our government doesn't seem interested in prosecuting.
So, the fraud is compounded by our own governments lack of interest in the law and justice for its' people.

You words are filled with much wisdom, enlightenment and humanity, Mr. Allen.
And, of course you are spot on from an economic and political perspective.
Your values and outspokenness are much needed bright lights in this world of increasing darkness.
Thanks

Ms. Scott,
Your observations and criticisms are most important and essential to our freedom.
If we are paying attention, we will see this trend occurring everywhere.
It is the overt elimination of dissent. This can only occur in ignorance. Ignorance of history. Ignorance of the law. Ignorance of where politics is headed. Ignorance of who is pulling the strings of OUR leaders. We are a country of 400,000 people, about the size of Miami. Who is the mayor of Miami? My point being, do we really believe we have the intellectual, moral, economic successes that would give substance to our leaders words? The reality is that if our leaders spoke out against the US, for instance, how long would they be around? Our leaders are bought and sold. Period. They are well paid parrots.
The suppression of dissent, and the jailing, and even murder, of those who speak out against the powers that be, should be alarming to anyone who is educated and moral.
Ms. Scott, for you to speak out against these travesties targeting our fellow Bahamians is patriotism, honesty, justice and morality at its highest.
For you to get tired and give up this fight, would be a travesty.
Thank you for your enlightened letter.

Your viewpoint quite scares me. and illustrates why some people turn to drugs and alcohol. It may be merely to escape viewpoints like yours. Would the world be a better place if we followed your advice?
Highly unlikely.

Do your homework. NATO, also known as the US, has backed Russia into a corner. They have encircled Russia with military bases and nuclear weapons, against stated high level promises. How would you feel? What is clear is that your information, and perspective comes from mass media, and social media, instead of investing in educating yourself by in-depth reading of history. I am sorry, but Davis is not a thinker, by any standards.

IslandWarrior,

You have it right. We are short in history, not heeding the warnings of so many cautioning against poking the bear.

Forget about Lincoln Bain for a moment.
Unlawful Assembly should be what upsets you.
Under the guise of "security" we will continue to lose our rights.
If you are not paying attention to what is happening to protesters in the US you are uninformed.
The goal is for total control of our population.
And, it will be guided by someone who has little brains and fewer ethics.
Those who love power and control, abuse our rights, and jail those who speak out, are not the exception in history.

The FTX "scandal" is by far deeper than meets the eye.
Some people believe that SBF was just a patsy.
The revolving door of bad actors in this country was merely a convenience based on historical realities.
Many believe that this is part of an attempt to push increased centralization of all currencies.
Judging by the unnatural push by our Central Bank in this direction, against the obvious problems of implementing it, we must wonder who is pushing our country in this direction.
To suggest that our leaders are not completely controlled by what the Central Bankers of the world decide is laughable.
We can't even control and manage one SEO in this country. Do we really have the technology and support staff to transition to digital?
Are our highly educated citizenry really on board with this change?
Or, is it being forced down our throats by someone above?
I contend that our financial and banking officials are working not for Bahamians...........
One only has to read a little bit to understand that the elites have already made plans for us.
Do you not believe this?

Watching our neighbor to the north, we will continue to see our rights trampled in the name of security. There is a clear and present danger to the public, and the words of Wayne Munroe will continue to echo as the police get more and more aggressive. We may see the cases of police violence in the US as racially motivated. However, it is clear that the violent actions of police which are becoming the norm in many situations.
Continue to allow the US to "train" our police and give them presents of more and more lethal weapons and we will see this trend continue.
Protect and serve were ideas of the past. We are now moving into the realm of total control.
