But after the Metayer tapes, Sonny Miller, ASP Curtis on video... and murder of two witnesses associated with the Metayer tapes, with one young boy saying, the murderers "*had on police boots*", this statement "in the absolute" stretches belief
From the Tribune May 5 2020 regarding admission from police investigator Debra Thompson of bringing together two witness to *align* their statements:
"*..further cited facts that arose during his trial about Superintendent Thompson’s work, like the fact that she initiated a meeting between the two main prosecution witnesses to synchronise their statements.* (weird to the extreme)
“*She admitted that in hindsight she had acted improperly in arranging the meeting to ‘clear up the ambiguities’ in each of their statements” and “she altered the original statement taken from Jonathan Ash…,” he noted*" (a firable offense)
"*Bahamas Union of Teachers (BUT) president Belinda Wilson previously said **trips to recruit Cuban teachers were cancelled in April and May**, yet the Ministry of Education failed to inform or consult the union.*"
April, May, June, July ... school starts in two weeks. Teachers should be in the classroom now...
"*The indictment also alleges the involvement of an unnamed politician. Prime Minister Philip “Brave” Davis sent a diplomatic note last year requesting further details, but it remains unclear whether any information has been received*".
"***Mr Munroe said the matter is not under his purview**, but falls under Mr Davis and the Minister of Foreign*"
There is an active US indictment that alleges that a high ranking Bahamian politician was involved in the solicitation of a bribe from Colombian drug dealers to facilitate cocaine transshipment through all Bahamian airports and **the National Security Minister says this has nothing to do with me**??? **The PM issued a similar weird statement urging Bahamians to take note that the indictment said the politician solicited a bribe, but didnt say he received it.**
**These statement from two high ranking politicians are extremely weird. Both indicate a massive unwillingness to do anything to uncover one of the greatest national security risks the Bahamas may have faced since Island for Sale**. We have the potential of a powerful politician directing govt officials and resources to facilitate crime in exchange for payment. What else could they be negotiating for payment? Guns? Illegal Haitian inmigration? Sex trafficking? Murder?
Other reporting indicated that the victim was a "nice guy". And he probably was. Many people who turn to a life of crime are intelligent, talented, handsome, charming... if only theyd chosen another path. *a fair face may hide a foul heart*
"*instead of using the funds as designed, allegedly diverted them to purchase two residential properties in Orlando, high-end watches and a gold bracelet for their own gain. They sent $525,151 towards the purchase of one property just a single day after receiving almost exactly the same amount from the victim, who thought the monies were being applied to his Bahamas property deals*"
**There's been a troubling pattern of prominent persons in finance/legal/real estate mishandling large sums of money. These people prior to the discovery are well known in the community, well respected, some with key appointments in govt and various boards.**
Reminder that in most cases, the reason these people reach these clients is their proximity to political power. In many cases they have no intl reach without the political link.
It cant be that this issue keeps happening. The money has to be wired in through some bank, so there's a record of an unusually large transfer of funds. The transfer comes with the client stating the purpose of the transfer, i.e. the receiver is a "trustee" or acting in some capacity for the client. The client should also indicate what the end action is, then there should either be another transfer of funds to the thing indicated the client, another traceable bank transaction or that money should sit undisturbed. again something traceable in the bank.Possibly the client being given an independent link or notification on the movement of those funds. The Bahamas protecting its name should make it known that the system exists and buyer beware.
It seems like a thing that could be monitored. Would this be the Securities Commission or the Central Bank?
And yes any system can be corrupted, but it seems like theres no system. And of course if people on both ends of the deal shady, like that diamond saga...anything goes. In the best of worlds hopefully the gate has been closed slightly in the last 10 years.
Is this the same Patrice Bullard that was caught in another legal issue
"*44-year-old Bahamian woman has been charged in a Florida court with aiding the escape of a man wanted for more than a dozen sexual offences in Osceola County*"
"*the risk of dangerous surf and rip currents across the western Atlantic basin next week is increasing,” an advisory read.*"
From listening to most recent reports, by Monday and Tuesday(?) it will start making a turn to the north which should take the eye away from us. The uncertainty is in the fact the timing of that turn has shifted over the course of the last few days. The good news so far is everyone is saying the turn will happen before it reaches us... but the pattern on the timing of the turn should be front of mind.
"But" despite the turn, because it's in the vicinity, it will create waves and choppy waters. The later the turn the worse the conditions. So no swimming, no boating advised. **And possibly the MOW will demolish those shanty structures built on the sand at junkanoo beach (literally mindboggling)**
