Mr. Mitchell says "those volunteers will be trained to run voting stations, monitor the electoral process, and ensure legal compliance."
Let me get this straight.
The PLP will train volunteers, chosen by them, to ensure legal compliance.
That made my day. I hope I can stop laughing by lunchtime.
Can The Bahamas survive another year of the PLP?

Does anyone really think we need to worry about China, or the US, or Haiti, taking this country down?
We are doing such a wonderful job destroying our own nation, we certainly don't need any help.
Is this story serious?
Is there a better way of chasing tourists away?
My God, with this, the boating license fees, cruising permits fiasco, one wonders if ANY of these offices, Customs, Department of Inland Revenue, have anyone professional and educated in their ranks.
How could a Customs officer NOT know the correct fees?
Beyond comprehension. But, we did get an apology. As we always do.
Is this not a disaster?
Does anyone in the Bahamian government have an ounce of business sense?
The Bahamas produces virtually nothing. Our productivity level is deplorable.
Our infrastructure is failing. How do you put a good spin on such rank national incompetence? Seriously.
Only by the grace of God does this country still exist, at all.
Clearly, by any account, we have NO leadership in The Bahamas.
We have a bunch of clowns. Jokey Leaders. Nothing more.

You Mr. Bhatti, and your company BTC have no credibility in The Bahamas.

Hey Mr. Bhatti,
You are 10 years too late.
Your company has failed for well over a decade to recognize what you just said.
You were too focused on cutting staff, cutting operating hours, and not investing in the future.
Now, you want to tell us that the internet is important.
Please Mr. Bhatti, stay quiet with your nonsense.
BTC will be out of business soon.
It was all about the deal.
You are just a pawn in the game.
Your company has screwed The Bahamas.
Take your salary for spouting bullshite.
BTC is a relic of the past.
All the useless politicians in The Bahamas who went along with this deal, and to those who made millions on this deal, are true turncoats.
Did you smile when the deal was signed, knowing you screwed your country?

All true!

Hey John, one does not have to hate a man to say he deserves NO place in civil society.
And, nothing is too late.
If The Bahamian leaders, all of a sudden grew balls and had even a minimal sense of decency, than the laws could be changed such that ALL proceeds from gambling went to worthy social causes.
Maybe then they wouldn't be borrowing hundreds of millions of dollars each year, sinking this country for our children.
Think John, think.

So birdie,
Since we are all sinners, we should all just shut up?
This is not the Christian message, nor Jesus' example.
This is the danger of letting people who have trouble reading and writing getting involved in deciphering written texts.
They always misinterpret the true message to fit their own life styles.
Perhaps those who spoke out against the slavers, those who prevented women from voting, and those who like to abuse underage kids should remain out of the public scorn because we are all just sinners who don't have the right to speak up.
That is stupid and foolish talk that has helped The Bahamas occupy such a low level of true Christianity.
There is a difference between superstition and Christian belief.
Sad you can't see the difference.
.

A representative face of this country.
Nothing to see here, let's move on.

We have now entered a time in The Bahamas, and many saw it coming, when words have absolutely no relation to reality.
Words, as used in our society, have lost any real meaning.
We use words to project what we want to believe.
We use words, not to explain, but to avoid any possibility of implicating ourselves in any of the sordid happenings around us.
We use words, very very sparingly, so as to keep the truth buried well below the surface.
We do not use words to communicate ideas and information.
Words are used to gain advantage over others. Listen to the good lawyers in office.
Yes, or no?
Listen to the words from Mr. Bastian.
What do they really mean?
As if, we can't see for ourselves.

My apologies for not believing one word from the man in the picture above.
Anyone who cannot connect the dots for why there is Zero public consultation on any of this is part of the problem.
The issue is about dishonesty and deceit from our "leadership", not about where we will borrow the next hundred million from.
