I honestly dont know what this does. I get the value of establishing sustained links in the community, but the way they do this it's all a big, one and done show for the cameras

"*The background to this claim is highly unusual, perhaps even bizarre," Justice Klein wrote in his verdict*"

The most bizarre part of this is a taxi driver owning a luxury jewelry store. And the police, customs, business license, inland revenue, werent even curious.

"*The unnamed high ranking official could be anyone*"

To be honest with you, that high ranking official has some serious power, he was able to offer cocaine traffickers free access to every airport in the country. That's past every police, customs officer, scanner and sniffing dog. That's some serious power. I dont think thats something someone outside the HOA could promise or someone like the Minister of Environment could offer. This is definitely something the PM, DPM and Minister of Aviation should be investigating. Which rotten banana could grant that kind of access under their watch?

"*Her husband, Renauld Louis, told The Tribune the family is distraught, describing his son, a recent graduate, as a “good boy*”.

"*He had tried to get him hired at his job, where he usually worked during the summers, but without a passport, Louis couldn’t take the position.*"

"*He said he was going to buy me a pair of tennis and some pair of jeans,” Widnyi recalled of their final conversation*"

None of this makes sense, he was on bail for stealing offences, he applied for a job but didnt get it because he "hadnt gotten his passport yet" and while unemployed he promised to buy his brother tennis and jeans.

Why would we give citizenship to someone charged with a crime? Why would a company hire someone charged with a crime? Yes, I get that there needs to be a pathway or a life a crime would be the only option, but strange that the father didnt consider the criminal charge in the company's rejection. I accept that no parent can be asked to reject their child but can he be a "good boy"? It's possible he's good to his family and friends.

Not necessarily related but if the PM doesnt see the powder keg of illegal immigration he doesnt deserve to be in the HOA. People say where's the evidence, where was the evidence of police corruption before Michael Johnson, ASP Curtis and Sonny Miller? Is it possible for three high ranking officers to be involved in a spiders web of corruption without a network of yet undetected officers involved, could some be senior to them? In this country, its apparent that the informal networks have the information long before the evidence arrives as the corruption in *high ranking politician*s hasnt broken as yet.

The one thing history tells us is you dont need the majority of people to be corrupt or criminal, you just need a bold few that noone wants to touch and they control the neighbourhood and the country.

"*BPL said delays in repairs had been caused by “factors beyond our control”, including Hurricane Dorian and pandemic supply chain issues.*"

Hurricane Dorian and COVID???

Isnt he on vacation?

"*Officers pledged to step up police presence in the area*"

Useless. They need to locate the "*high ranking politician*", try him for treason and unravel his network of corruption

Exactly what has changed with a female commissioner? It baffles me when various proposals or appointments are made, nobody wants to ask the hard questions. The pattern is always the same, the Lucayan Sale Rally, the commissioner appointment the new biometric voting cards, the electronic voting system, Starlink and SpaceX, the Cruise Porte, RCi PI, homeporting, and on and on, the media response is always the same, *this is a great opportunity*, some even push for freebies and access for themselves, you can forget objectivity after that, bought and paid for, until of course after the debacle when everyone tries to disassociate themselves.

**Find the *high ranking politiician***

"*The statement came in response to an August 5 article by Centra News in Guatemala, which claims Mr Neymour, Ambassador to the OAS, is reportedly under investigation for corruption and misuse of OAS funds.*" -centranews.com

I wonder what spurs an investigation for corruption at the OAS

"*One of the most controversial decisions was the appointment of his advisor, Xaviera Jessurun, as Chief of Staff. Jessurun has no prior diplomatic experience and had only worked as an assistant at Suriname’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Nevertheless, Ramdin allegedly demanded her salary be increased well beyond the authorized scale. According to internal sources, Jessurun is now paid more than the U.S. Secretary of State, whose annual salary is $250,600.*"

That's odd. We all recall a Bahsmian diplomat spending 17,000 on a mirror while posted in London. Was that act illegal? No but it raises serious questions of judgement.. and more

And the people who clean fish by yamacraw/Prince Charles. I dont get it. They're literally chumming the water a few feet from little children swimming

"*They do not keep themselves informed. They do not read and they do not know what is happening in the wider world and I think this is a serious problem."*

**Nicki Kelly is a national treasure.** I am embarrassed as a Bahamian that she has to share that classification with some of this years questionable national honorees

I echo your sentiments. I'm often shocked by what isnt known, isnt researched and isnt asked. And it seems with expansion of media and access to cellphones more persons lacking innate curiosity are stepping up for social media "puffy", "influencer" journalistic titles. The departure of the likes of Ace Newbold, Carlton Smith and Juan McCartney.. most cannot see what is happening... intelligence is departing and being rwplaced by persons who can barely read...it does not bode well for us
