The population of the Bahamas is said to be 400,000 but is actually closer to 500,000. Of the 500,000 nearly 200,000 are illegal immigrants or illegal immigrants that somehow wrongfully obtained some kind of 'legal' resident status.

Our Haitian illegal immigrant problem has for decades preyed upon the Christianity of Bahamians. That time has come and gone. Bahamians must now do much more to help themselves overcome this vexing and dreadful problem. There is after all, some truth to the old saying that Gold helps those most who are willing to help themselves.

Forget being greedy, this arsehole Snake is nothing but one big time corrupt SOB!

Mr. Lloyd just doesn't get it! It is the absolute height of absurdity for him to say:

> "I'm telling you from a fundamental national sovereignty and national security standpoint that you cannot afford to have in your country persons who are oppressed, marginalized, ostracized, or even feel that way because of actions that are being taken by you."

Mr. Lloyd wants to pour even more gasoline on an already raging fire that we desperately need to extinguish before it consumes and totally destroys our culture, way of life and standard of living. We must introduce policies that deter illegal immigration rather than encourage it; otherwise we will never ever get a handle on this growing problem which is suffocating our country with its enormous toll on our limited financial and social resources, including our limited number of qualified teachers and basic school facilities, not to mention scarce healthcare resources. What Mr. Lloyd is proposing does **not** protect our national sovereignty and national security; in fact, what he's proposing does the very opposite!

Shut up! You're one of the effin thieves.

Tip of the iceberg. Just think of the magnitude of Sir Snake's fraudulent business dealing with BPL/BEC as a fuel supplier/distributor! We're talking about mega millions of dollars. Illegal payments of $14 million to his insurance company are a mere pittance compared to all of the other frauds this loud mouthed boisterous idiot has committed.....literally robbing the Bahamian people of mega millions of dollars over many years!

When it comes to who has done the most tiefin' from the Bahamian people, Sir Snake and his wife are probably at the very top of the list.

Faced with the looming risk of Federal charges being filed under the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act against PowerSecure and its parent company (including their senior officials involved) for de facto bribery of certain elected officials of a foreign government (our government), it is no small wonder PowerSecure is now walking away from its contractual obligations and undertakings to BPL under the terms of the five-year management agreement. The current Board of BPL should be looking at BPL's legal options for pursuing claims for damages against PowerSecure and the previous directors of BPL who had to be involved in this de facto bribery scandal.

It is now quite clear that key senior officials of PowerSecure were engaged in serious illegal acts to the extent the secret list of "do not disconnect" elites has on it Bahamas government officials responsible for negotiating, entering into and later varying the terms of the BPL/BEC management contract. PowerSecure's misconduct in this matter is tantamount to having bribed various officials of a foreign government by wrongfully and illegally granting them outrageously generous credit and other privileges they should not have received under the terms of the contractual relationship. The quid pro quo was PowerSecure's ability to maintain and occasionally vary for its benefit its highly lucrative contractual relations with bpl/bec. Carl Bethel as our Attorney General should be filing a formal complaint under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act with appropriate officials of the U.S. Government - The Department of State and the Office of the U.S. Attorney General . It is unfathomable that any reputable U.S. corporation in its dealings with a foreign government would allow such a "secret list of elite", largely comprised of politically exposed persons, to be kept.

Bottom line: PowerSecure effectively had day-to-day operational control of BPL through the terms of its contractual arrangements with BPL and the Bahamas government. PowerSecure did nothing to do away with the "do not disconnect" list because it did not want to jeopardize its lucrative contractual relationship. It seems PowerSecure knowingly participated in the wrongful and illegal granting of financial favours to officials of a foreign government via BPL, an entity that it managed, in order secure and maintain that lucrative business relationship. Under U.S. law, that could be a big problem for the officials concerned at both PowerSecure and its ultimate parent company.
