The deputy director general of tourism, Dr Kenneth Romer and government on the whole unquestionably live in an alternative universe.
Regardless of the "record high numbers" they love to spew at every opportunity, the **reality** on the ground for Bahamians is low wages rising inflation and fuel costs in the Bahamas have resulted in more Bahamians finding themselves in need of help.
Because of inflationary pressures Bahamians are making really tough choices between food and other necessities like housing, electricity, medication, child care, transportation, and car payments.
Rent alone in low cost areas can account for about 80% or more of most Bahamians income! How the hell are people earning $250.00 weekly expected to meet $800.00 rents, buy food, electricity, water, child care, medical, clothing, lunch, school fees, and transportation needs?
What bothers me more than anything, is how employers, especially the government, rationalize that employees are supposed to survive below the poverty level and be grateful, happy, productive employees!
Regardless of the governments refusal to admit the obvious, our ever increasing crime rate and violence is a direct correlation influenced by desperate people turning to desperate measures for survival.
However, the Bahamas is not alone in this government dementia crises. The US government is also spewing the lost of reality fairytales about having a strong economy, as Americans are suffering the same issues as Bahamians.
American food banks nationwide are totally overwhelmed today even beyond covid times! Food donations are at an all time low, and inflation has forced record numbers of Americans into homelessness. Over **200,000 cars per month** are now being repossessed, there is an 185% increase in housing foreclosures, new bankruptcies including personal and business filings rose to 433,658 ended Sept. 30, 2023 and U.S. banks closed 2,118 branch locations nationwide between January and the end of October and have laid off a combined 20,000 workers.
Upcoming elections are responsible for the Bahamian and American governments attempts at this gross deception narrative that "all is well". However, this stands in stark contrast to the reality of actual struggles people are facing to survive.
Unquestionably, everyone and anyone paid from the public purse should be held accountable! The country would be 1000% more efficient if public servants were held accountable
The blatant disrespect and nonchalant attitudes at all levels of civil servants is appalling and counterproductive. In fact, it is as if the majority of these people specialty is creating bottlenecks and ensuring as much chaos as possible!
Firstly, sending troops to Haiti to deal with gang activity is pointless without a clear strategy of removing the major underlying cause of Haiti's problems, which is the corrupt elite and political class that have had a strangle hold on Haiti for generation!
This corrupt elite and political class conglomerate manage and facilitate all levels of nefarious activities in Haiti.
Unless they are also dismantled or neutralized, the situation in Haiti has zero chance of sustainable improvement.
The United States interest in Haiti is the ongoing "continued" pilferage of its $20 billion gold deposits and Haitis' vast quantities of Oil and Natural Gas reserves that are confirmed to be some of the largest oil reserves in the world.
The corrupt elite and political class facilitate Canada and the United States exploitation of Haiti's natural resources, maintaining the countries currant destabilized condition and dire financial state it now faces.
Western powers have employed the same tactics across the African continent for generations. The worst offender being France, having a well documented history of gross exploitation and horrendous atrocities in Africa in its bid to steal its natural resources.
The broader questions of any stabilization of Haiti are, what will happen the day after a peace keeping force leaves? How will Haiti divest itself of the corrupt elite and political class that facilitates foreign exploitation of its natural resources that hinders its economic stability and sustainable development?
Without the answers to these questions, sending in troops to quell gang activity in Haiti is a total nonstarter that would unquestionably end in the unnecessary deaths of any number of troops and civilians.
This whole LGBQ-Alphabet-people agenda has been perpetuated by the US and welcomed with open arms by the wackos we call government and religious leaders, is unnatural and condemned by biblical Scripture!
1 Corinthians 6: 9-10 "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
This is not excuse to abuse these deviant people. Leave them to GOD himself who has already cast judgement upon them.
However, regardless that the US agenda is to pervert the entire world, the "Alphabet people" must understand that they have no right to force their divergents upon straight people, and should stay among others that understand and accept them, straight people DO NOT!
A brief research of America confirms Ron DeSantis rhetoric is consistent with America's delusional mandate to dominate the entire world through military force.
The United States has less than 5% of the worlds population, but is determined to rule the entire planet. These sadistic neocons expect to rule the world by using military power to intimidate, and or invade and destroy any country refusing to kiss their asses.
America have invaded, and destabilized over 30 countries globally in the 20th century and murdered millions of people including political leaders in the process, and have established military bases in 85 countries globally. Meanwhile no country is allowed to develop a military base anywhere on American and NATO soil!
America claims China, North Korea and Russia are threats to global peace and security, however, the facts confirm neither China, Russia, or North Korea have ever invaded or attacked any other country.
No one should be surprised of this ingrained "global dominance mindset" as history proves America and NATO leaders mainly consists of the descendants of Vikings and Saxons who have always exhibited the lust to rule the world by force!
Thank GOD China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea have the superior military might needed to contain America and its NATO allies. Otherwise, the world would **REMAIN** slaves to the few at the expense of the many.
PM Davis better wake up! Iraq also didn't have any weapons of mass destruction and the United States invaded the country and murdered over 1 million people for no reason at all!
caricom better be looking to join BRICS for protection against America and NATO, because DeSantis and Lindsey Graham could easily wake up one morning and decide to annex the Bahamas and Caribbean for some no reason at all.
The US arms supported genocide in Gaza speaks volumes! Democracy and human rights my ass!
Libya, Iraq, Africa, Afghanistan, and now Gaza are prime examples of The United States and NATO's proven track record of destabilizing countries for made up reasons and taking whatever they want.
China and Russia have no history of attacking other countries. caricom better get on the BRICS train before more idiots like DeSantis and Graham wake up with another bad hangover and make more stupid decisions to "wipe out the Bahamas and Caribbean"!
Wrong way to achieve our goal, but unquestionably a step in the right direction! How does it look to tourists when arriving to an expensive resort destination when flying into Nassau, one of the first things you see is large discusting shanty town?
Are we serious or not? Remove ALL shanty town regardless of who the occupants are. They are **illegal**, terrible eyesores, does not reflect Bahamian way of life, incubators for every nefarious activity imaginable, fire hazards, and simply should never have been allowed in the first instance.
Think what you like about The Dominican Republics handing of their own Haitian invasion, the indisputable bottom line is they did what had to done to resolve the problem, and at the end of the day the country achieved their objective and is much better off because of their actions!
These people really think that Bahamians are stupid. This is Just another of many more to come reelection champagne strategies designed to fool the fools into thinking the leopard has changed its spots!
Next they will announce a massive government hiring initiative for the unemployed.
Our country has been stuck on stupid and deception for 50 years! Don't expect to have a different result from the same group of clowns.
