So, so, sad, madam Editor, but also so, so, true! If Baha Mar was worth $3.5 billion on Jan 1st, 2015, it was because it had trained Bahamian staff, seasoned Expat. Managers, hotels all lined up, and signed up, itching to get started, bookings in hand, expectations sky high, at home and abroad, advertising dollars spent and the "Magic that was to be Baha Mar" was riding high, high, high, the envy of the Caribbean and looking all set to be the Eighth Wonder of the World!

Now thanks to our meddling Prime Minister and Mrs. "Hissy Fit" Attorney General and the rest of our hapless and worthless government, the bubble has been burst, the accounting vultures are feasting on the Baha Mars carcass and 8,000 jobs gave been flushed away! Rats and spiders have already moved in, disappointment has replaced excitement, the momentum has been lost, and the dream has died.

With crappy Chinese workmanship, the horrible publicity, the betrayed workers, the disappointed would be guests, the International shame and disgrace this Baha Mar debacle has brought to our good name, I doubt whether today Baha Mar is worth even $1billion. You have pissed away $2.5billion in just 10 months!! That must go down as the most costly blunder and mistake in the history of The Bahamas!!

Well Mr. Prime Minister you all certainly showed that nasty investor who is the BOSS!!!, you certainly protected our sovereignty didn't you, and you certainly showed us exactly who is in charge....of this botched and misguided adventure!!

You Sir killed the Golden Goose which could have set our country back onto a firm economic recovery!! It is your fault, and your fault alone! You have disgraced the office of Prime Minister and have betrayed the trust that the misguided minority of Bahamian voters who elected you and your corrupt party to power in 2012, placed in you.

Asking you to resign is a futile request; like many Post Independence Prime Ministers you long ago turned your back on Decency, Accountability, Statesmanship, Integrity, and Honesty!!

You have failed, you are a spent force, and you must simply GO!! while you hang on to power you are like a millstone around the neck of our blessed country.

This is a re-post:

Can't wait to hear what Mr. Izmirilian REALLY thinks!! After Nov 2nd, when all of the deals are done, and the entire Baha Mar dream collapses, when the political jackals are licking their chops, when the Chinese gangsters are doing their happy dance, when Baha Mar's "used to be" employees are wondering WTF they can possibly do now, when Izzie finally accepts, what he has known in his heart for 9 months, that the fix is in and his 800 million dream development has been wrested from his grasp. Then, finally, when he has nothing more to lose, he lets us know exactly what he thinks of pgc, amg, cca, and the china exim bank and the rest of the marauding hoard who latched onto his big dream like feasting scavengers.

I cannot believe he will sit small and shrug his shoulders and walk away. We might well find out where ALL the bodies are buried, all of the dirty deals that were done, the identity of all of the bagmen, swindlers and corrupt and greedy politicians that have dogged Mr. Izmirilian's 15 year Baha Mar adventure!

Let the chips fall where they may, let the transgressors be named and shamed and let every Bahamian voter use this fiasco as a teachable moment, for us to use when we cast our votes at the next general election!!!!

On Sarkis unsure of resort’s future

Bagman Baltron let the Baha Mar cat out of the bag......perhaps the cat ate the birdie, or at least rendered him/her speechless!

Mrs. Butler Turner represents the majority of persons impacted by Joaquin. She was a tower of strength during the days immediately after the storm and is playing a leading role in the continuing effort to re-build Long Island. Who better to present her experiences to the HOA, but who is surprised that she was denied an opportunity of making her presentation?
