Haiti has ALWAYS been controlled by politically connected gangs just as the Bahamas is controlled by the notorious UBP, PLP and FNM gangs of politically corrupt friends, family and lovers!

SP says...

Thanks to the PLP and FNM!

SP says...

Haiti government’s said Sunday that two prisons, one in the capital of Port-au-Prince and another in nearby Croix-des-Bouquets, were overrun by gang members over the weekend.

Elections is only their secondary problem now that 3,597 of Haiti's most dangerous prisoners have escaped!

The Bahamas is now at much greater risk as some of these violent Haitians will inevitably make their way here thanks to 50 years of PLP and FNM leaders courting and encouraging illegal Haitian migration.

The **REAL** geographic and economic roots of our crime problem will begin seriously manifesting itself here in about **15 days** when some of the **3,597 escaped Haitian prisoners** from the National Penitentiary yesterday filter in to join gangs in the Bahamas!.

**Thanks to the PLP and FNM. Are we paying attention yet!!!!!!!????**

SP says...

Bishop Delton Fernander is just another politically motivated "talking head" attempting to deflect the narrative from 50 years of failed PLP and FNM leadership, and blame everything on the "family"!

The days of accepting bullshyt from the pulpit, and politicians kicking the can down the road, ducking, dodging, and deflecting responsibility are over!

The undeniable real life realities of where we are, and how we got here, must be addressed head on if we are to "redirect" the path of the country.

**NO Bishop Delton Fernander. The "family" cannot be held responsible** for the failed education system that produced D average education to Bahamians for 50 years leading to people fending for themselves to survive resulting in where we find ourselves today.

Meanwhile since1965 the children of politicians benefited from the best education money can buy in the Bahamas and abroad on the backs of Bahamians!

Our crooked, self serving, politicians knew damn well how to educate their own children, but couldn't care less about the average Bahamians children.

In fact, education was of much better standard and included mandatory vocational training prior to the PLP coming to power! Building school "building" with dumbed down substance was a complete PLP and FNM failure.

**NO Bishop Delton Fernander. The "family" cannot be held responsible** for the failed immigration policies that encouraged illegal migration from Haiti, the most illiterate, poorest, deprived, violent, non-socialized, country in the hemisphere to proliferate in the Bahamas.

Exactly what did our crooked politicians think would result from flooding the Bahamas with the poorest most violent people in the Caribbean?

We are reaping today what the PLP and FNM sowed for 50 years!

**NO Bishop Delton Fernander. The "family" cannot be held responsible** for double digit unemployment of our youth who are forced to join gangs for survival in the streets, because our incompetent politicians failed to prepare them for low skilled blue collar domestic jobs now filled by Asians and Latinos.

The music has stopped playing, and it is a deafening sound!

SP says...

Amnesty International and the U.S. authorities are well aware that police brutality and torturing suspects is a well known fact in the Bahamas.

The officers along with their superiors should charged and dismissed! Police have gotten away with torturing people for confessions with the blessings of politicians since the British colonized the Bahamas.

Post colonization nothing has changed in the Bahamas. The same players continue exploiting our natural resources and bribing our greedy, crooked, politicians to turn a blind eye while the country at large disintegrates.

Trusting politicians, the police, or judicial system, is totally out of the question.

SP says...

“We’re just carrying out the mandate under the Buildings Regulation Act,” After 50 years of total bullshyt!

It's no wonder the damn Haitians don't take the government seriously.

SP says...

As more young men are murdered, the telling part of it all is that Brave supposedly knew exactly how to solve Haiti's gang problems, but he has absolutely no idea of how to deal with his own Haitian gangs in the Bahamas???

SP says...

No amount of ducking and blaming the family will change the fact that after PLP and FNM 50 year dismal failure with immigration, education, natural resources, and sustainable development policies = A failed society.

We were led by them to this place!

PRIME Minister Philip “Brave” Davis is focusing on peanuts while **billions** literally pass through our fingers annually!

The Bahamas **continues to lose billions annually** in the tourism sector because the PLP and FNM never had any "real" understanding of **resort destination tourism.**

A **1980** airport tourism exit survey quizzed visitors asking them their biggest complaint of their Bahamas vacation. The number one complaint was **not enough to do in nassau**

Three decades, 8 million arrivals to date and a spanking new $300M port later, the number one complaint remains **not enough to do in nassau** and with the lose of **all live band night clubs and native shows** there is far less to do in Nassau today than there was in 1980!

People vacation with disposable income and expect to **SPEND** those funds visiting places in resort destinations. The PLP and FNM are blind to the huge potential of encouraging Bahamians to create venues for tourist to spend in resort destinations of the Bahamas.

Tourist come to the Bahamas with a preset amount of funds destined to spend in the resort, just as Bahamians travel abroad expecting to return home broke. However, it is the resort destinations responsibility to make it possible for the tourist to part with his money.

Regional competitive resort destinations like Orlando, Key West, Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Jamaica, Mexico, and The Dominican Republic tourism products are prime examples of how tourist resort destinations position themselves to **"maximize in-resort spend".**

Comparing these destinations to Nassau, and Freeport is like night and day!

Which tourist resort destination anywhere else in the world closes downtown at 6:00 PM? We literally have tens of thousands of visitors here **DAILY** looking to find and **SPEND** on the Bahamian experience, but cannot do so.

Tourist are willing to spend pockets full of money in the Bahamas but we are unable to "collect it from them".

This is the absolute height of ignorance and stupidity!

If the government had any sense they would actively encourage a goal of tourist resort spend of $250.00 each. The 8+ million projected visitors would translate to $2,000,000,000 in the Bahamas this year alone!

Davis needs to stop standing around chasing pennies and simply encourage Bahamian entrepreneurs and businesses to create ways to collect money tourist are dying to spend in the Bahamas.

Regardless, stupid still does as stupid is!
