"*Further, in line with the seasonal demand for foreign currency, external reserves declined over the review period, albeit a moderation vis-à-vis the same period last year.”*

In the budget debate Brave Davis put great emphasis on revenue exceeding projections. And he should, that's positive news for the country. Extremely troubling though in light of that, with more money coming in than they expected, they somehow found two times as many unprojected items to spend it and nonexistent money on. This is a repeat of the VAT launch. They crowed up and down about one billion dollars being collected, they revealed that theyd had no clue they could bring in so much. Then it disappeared in another deficit.

Lately Chester Cooper has been making much about record breaking tourist numbers. Up to 9 million I believe. One of the benefits of a tourist visit is foreign currency inflow. According to the central Bank while we were experiencing Chester Cooper's historic 9 million visitors, external reserves fell. We havent had a hurricane, we havent had a pandemic...

Our outcomes aren't fitting the narrative.

One thing that baffles me is when people join groups claiming liberation and then end up enslaved by the new and always weird and crazy rules set up by the leaders. Notice this trend typically in radicalized groups be they religious, afro-centered or criminal

"Information", not "facts"

This is crazy. How did Papa Doc get before the world court? Somebody needs to exercise oversight of the abuses that keep happening with public funds while the country continues to decline and the wayward spending sends prices and taxes skyrocketing, happens in both parties

The reason they overspent on the travel budget taking money from the disabled people that they took credit in the last budget for giving more money to, then jetted what had to be the ~entire PLP party to Freeport on public funds to campaign (we dont know cuz they didnt provide details but 100k is alot) then started talks about a new Parliament building, all while the athletes say they need about 1million dollars for this years athletic caendar(?) The Betty Kelly swimming pool een finish, the stadium, who knows, boats burning up every other night at Potters Cay. The sewer system still smells awful there every other week...

they simply dont know how much there is to be done

Your operative words were, "*because when the judge refused to accept the confession..*". One reason a judge might not accept a confession is evidence of torture. Another might be mental incapacity.

Where do people get their facts these days???

Yes. Unless they have video evidence that that is what happened or the victim identifies the man a lineup, he gets off Scott free.

I'm surprised that so many people think confessions can be coerced. The CIA learned this in 911. People will say anything to stop the torture. And no judge with evidence a suspect was tortured would accept the confession.

Police need to hone their investigative techniques

"*But to throw out a case just because police beat the crap out of someone???*"

That is **exactly why** cases get thrown out. You cannot torture someone to confess and expect a court of law to accept the confession. Their statement is unreliable because tortured people are liable to say anything to stop the torture.

Ahah! But the incantation wouldnt be in the english subtitles, it would be in the foreign language unbeknownst to you. You have to think like a Sicilian (Princess Bride reference).. or Pinky and the Brain.

I do believe theres a spiritual battle for our minds. I do believe the world is focused on creating as many addictive substances as possible to control our minds attention. I do believe some media content is troublesome in that aspect, just as we should control what goes in our mouths because we recognize the danger to the body both in kind of consumption and danger of overconsumption, there is also danger to allowing any and everything into every other sensory input of our body.

Whether any of those cautions coincide with this movie I have no clue or if it's just misconceptions of the outdated, who knows. The mention of the movie not being in English was weird. People have been watching subtitled movies probably since movies came into existence. I wondered if the fear was because you dont understand the language you dont know if some incantation is being spoken... well I suppose that's possible, *By the power of Gray skull!*.( that's He-Man, lol what an unimaginative superhero name) I stopped watching horror movies for the same reason, the ones in English. Do I know that it's a thing? Nope. It just makes me uncomfortable, it's a choice.

Who knows. I remember when children dressed up like Barney. Japan has a very dark history, like England, but they have some cool things too. Like the Yakuza, lol.
