Birdie, the thing is really that most Bahamians have no problem with Haitians - including me. I know several who are fine upstanding people. Anyone trying to better themselves and live a better life, I have respect for and will even help to the best of my ability. Many have come here over the decades singing the song of "a better life" etc. etc. and many Bahamians (including me) have helped them.

The problem is, that it has now been apparent for at least ten years that their goal is not to "seek a better life" - but to take over The Bahamas. They have more rights and freedoms than we do. We need to pay National Insurance, we need to license our vehicles, we need building permits. The only thing that has been "stuck to" them is the need to pay VAT on everything. In most cases, this is the only tax they pay, and they are complaining about that, and have pastors and all other manner of faggots out there petitioning the Government to remove the "unjust" VAT tax on breadbasket items - because it unfairly affects "the poor". Poor? How can you have 7 children and be poor?

They are engaged in a breeding war with Bahamians with the goal of taking over our country. Only the truly blind are unable to see this. They also have another advantage over us - which is they have the support of Amnesty International and about 7 other international organizations fighting daily for "their rights". The well known Q.C. marches at the head of the parade spinning the baton.

So i'm reading along here thinking, "Wow, Mr. Smith's brain surgeon must have recently performed a successful operation. This is making a lot of sense about the CEB." I was a bit skeptical, thinking there must be a catch; then suddenly his true motive appeared uncontrollably like an overflowing toilet.

I'm particularly struck by the section which reads "...are forced to survive by whatever means necessary and suffer all manner of degradation and injustice imaginable on a daily basis."

Really? If so, then why do they continue to breed like rabbits? Do they have no concern that they are bring others (their own children) into the same world they live in to "suffer all manner of degradation"? Do Haitians not care about their children? Or are they, much more likely, engaged in a breeding war with Bahamians and use their children as pawns to gain the sympathy of international cry baby organizations who seem to have nothing better to do than assist all kinds of idiots all over the world who create a dozen children per woman to live in some remote desert village in Sudan or Haitians who chop down their trees on the mountains to make coal and then all the soil gets eroded because there are no roots to hold it intact on the mountain side?

They say there are thousands of them still living in tents since the big earthquake down there some years ago. How many of those have had another 4 or 5 children since they moved into a tent?

Why is it that the decision to have ten children by idiots who have nowhere to live, sparse food to eat, and no "papers" suddenly becomes my problem?

Maybe the English word "condom" has no equivalent translation in Creole.

In any case, i was hoping Dr Minnis' Dec 31st deadline was serious, but now hearing that he reversed Christie's no school policy, i can see that it is all just a sham and there is no hope for Bahamians except the release from suffering provided by suicide.

Finally, i hope Mr Smith is able to get any medical help he requires...just as i would wish for anyone (well almost anyone - not those who use my clinics and don't want to pay VAT on rice).

No beatings anymore. Icy Hot is known as confession creme. Of course, that is just a rumour.

Two articles in one week. Wow. Funny how thia didn't come up in the past 5 years.

Sounds like somebody can't wait to get their "commission" from this contract.

You watch....they won't fix the 100ft section for $200,000 but will instead want to fix the whole thing for $25 million.

The article says...

it had been unable to resolve the situation despite receiving several e-mails from the bank's Marsh Harbour manager "saying everything was fine".

"We have no idea where our funds are, no communication from the bank, no satisfactory response to our e-mails

.... so i see "despite receiving several e-mails from the bank's....manager"

....and i see "....no communication from the bank..."

Both statement are made by him. Which is true? Either they received e-mails from the bank or they didn't.

At the same time, RBC would be wise to become familiar with a nifty little device we have had available since 1876 called the telephone. People have "numbers" which you key into such a device and the device allows you to speak and hear the person in real time, even if they are a great distance away. It is quite amazing really.

When they gather KYC information and otherwise during the opening of accounts they should require customers to provide their "telephone number" so that such communication becomes possible.

Do their tellers/cashiers still use the abacus to total up deposits?

Sounds kinda backward and hard to believe. Also you can call another company in TCay and ask them to kindly pass a message if you thought outside the box.

Apparently some cry baby Bahamians don't want the new Government to solve our problems.

Alternative? Keep your problems and cry about them some more during the next election cycle.

Dawes you have got to be joking. The big potholes on the corner of Mackey & Madeira were there since Ingraham's time. Christie them just did the paving prior to election for show.

We have always had potholes. That is irrelevant to this discussion.

Myers is right about the numbers but i think he is warning not to celebrate because he doesn't want to inject an element of complacency. I however do believe it IS cause for celebration.

With the exception of some insane and unexplained drive to join the WTO, everything else this Govt is doing financially so far is quite good and necessary.

Again i repeat, i support the new investments bill - but the idea of joining the WTO is just stupid.

We just passed the new multilateral tax sharing they wanted. Just keep passing more "openness" legislation as required.

Put everybody's bank statements on Facebook if necessary but DO NOT join WTO. We have nothing to trade. The only thing we get any money for is crawfish. Salt and aragonite and oil we continue to give away basically for free....so they don't even count.

To paraphrase Nancy Reagan...

"Just say NO to WTO"

Not only that, but the idea of jailing repeat offenders cannot be done if we dont know they were here before. Digital fingerprint scanners like the US immigration have at the airport?

Wonder how many tons of aragonite one of those would cost (at the going rate of $2 per ton)?

I was told by someone "in the know" that the Bahamas historically used to be a part of Haiti.

We were the northern Haitian territories. Some "uppity" Bahamians, back in the day, chased many of them out and also engaged in a breeding war having many children. I do remember growing up hearing about my grandmother and great grandmother and others in the communities in those days having many children

So what has been happening over the past 4 decades is simply Haitians reclaiming what is rightfully theirs. Those who know history and understand the law are aware of this...i was told...such as police officers - for example - and that is the reason why the cars driving around with Haitian flags (contrary to the flag law) are never booked and fined. The officers have likely been told that such a fine would be appealed all the way to the Supreme Court which after the facts came out would rule in the driver's favour. Additionally this would open a can of worms whereby our true sovereignty would be revealed and the Bahamian flag would be ordered to be lowered at Government House.

The maintenance of this secret has consumed much time and resources. But i was told the truth will be revealed after the arrests begin in January. These are terrible times for so-called true true Bahamians
