Who was it said that the voice of the people is the voice of God and who ignored that dictum?

The man belongs in jail. Search the Panama Papers. The man pictured keeps his ill-gotten gains in a safe place outside the country (exporting money in violation of the currency laws).

I recall being in his presence when he walked in and his sweethearts rushed him. He poked currency notes into their bras, and announced to all and sundry that he had just donated $3000 to Obama's political campaign.

You must always remember the source of everything that is written. In this case, it is one Ortland Bodie who was publicly proven to be a liar and a thief when he was disbarred as a lawyer. That goes to character. Psychologists tell us that character is formed by age 5 and it is relatively immutable. So in this case the Trojan Horse is Ortland Bodie.

He is an opportunist who sucked up badly and hoped to create a palace coup in the PLP behind Brave Davis. When that didn't work, the sneak mutated his words and is now singing hosannas in the hopes of catching a few crumbs from the PLP table of stolen largesse. His frequent letters are a pathetic attempt to remain relevant and keep his hopes alive of joining the crony circle of the government.

The psalm-singing, Bible-quoting donkey certainly knows how to bend and twist the truth in an attempt for personal and political gain.

And as for Sarkis, I am starting to think that Prime Minister Crisco Butt did him a huge favour. Examine the pictures coming out of the dilapidated Baha Mar. The wallboard is peeling; holes are punched all over the place; the ceiling fan is a cheap Chinese knockoff, the wallboard is supposed to be thicker on the ceilings for noise and thermal insulation and it is paper thin.

The current estimate is that it will take a billion dollars just to remediate the existing rooms -- never mind the completion aspects. And it is so poorly built that it will begin to deteriorate with the slightest use. It was a painful lesson for Sarkis, but ultimately more beneficial to his pocketbook than going ahead with the project, which is now doomed.

The next thing that you know, is that the Chinese Triad gangs will be operating here to gain a foothold to the lucrative American illicit drug demand.

An interesting scenario popped into conversation at last Wednesday's fried snapper and beer feast with the crowd. Suppose that we get in so deep with the Ho Lee Fook Ginks that it pisses off the Americans. Suppose the Yankees decide to retaliate with a slow down in trade with the Bahamas, and a less porous border. Suppose that we had to jump through hoops to do the WalMart stuff shopping trips. Suppose that there is a state export tax to the Bahamas levied by Florida. The cost of living will skyrocket.

This is serious shiite and the feces-for-brains cabinet ministers and Prime Minister Crisco Butt have no clue as to the long term ramifications of their actions. They don't realise that when the gorilla that they are playing with decides that it is no longer fun to participate, the PLP gang and the Bahamas are truly fooked.

We have regressed and are back in the days of Lynden Oscar Swindling and his connections to global organised crime. Instead of Columbian and Mafioso, this current PLP government has a Oriental flavour connection to organised crime, sponsored and sanctioned by the Bahamas state of ship under chief thug Perry Gladstone Crisco Butt.

I have to say that it takes true courage for Erin Greene to advocate for the gays when nobody else will do it for them. Fweddie won't. He is an odious hypocrite and coward.

Ms. Greene has put her personal safety at risk by her advocacy, and I applaud her for it.

It's about damn time that we collectively gain enlightenment as a nation and realise that homosexuality is not a lifestyle choice, and religion is not a panacea, and Haitians are valuable people and human capital on par with anybody and everybody, and that sweethearting is not okay, and that single parenting is really really bad, and corruption should be punished by jail and even death to those parliamentarians for their crimes against the Bahamas, and that all of the Swindlings should have their money taken away and put into the treasury and the honours taken away. There are so many things wrong with the Bahamas, and Ms. Greene is not one of them, but our own birdie is, and birdie and her ilk are a mental cancer on this nation, rife with ignorance and a slave mentality. Spewing hate against people is not an opinion and not a right.

his headvalves have been sick and broken long time now. poor man can't think but his cabinet ministers and MPs like him retarded.

The jewelry business took a hit on the slowing down of the economy in China and the anti-corruption efforts by the Chinese government. They have had a massive slowdown in sales in revenue. In May of this year Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group Ltd.’s shares fell to the lowest after it said full-year profit fell as much as 50 percent as weak Chinese consumer demand undercut revenue and the world’s largest jewelry retailer posted hedging losses on gold loans.

Cheng Yu Tung has died at age 91 and his assets were distributed among 5 companies. Chow Tai Fook Ltd has been acquired on the Hong Kong exchange by Evergrande and they have been downgraded by Moody's earlier this year to B2 with a negative outlook because they are so highly debt leveraged. Evergrande announced acquisitions including (1) various Chinese property-development project companies from New World Development (China) Limited (unrated) and Chow Tai Fook Enterprises Ltd (unrated); (2) an investment property in Hong Kong; and (3) a 50% equity stake in a life insurance company.

Chow Tai Fook itself is developing a huge casino complex in Brisbane Australia in hopes of taking its high rollers there. They as a company are pretty leveraged themselves: The firm is involved in a bid to develop a casino resort in Vietnam’s Quang Nam province, in partnership with local company VinaCapital. Chow Tai Fook Enterprises has also shown interest to invest in a new South Korean casino resort at the Incheon Free Economic Zone, near the country’s capital Seoul.

So this aint a done deal. I suspect that they are hoping to get a bargain from EXIM to take it off their books. They can't tap their parent company because Evergrande's debt is so large, that it recently offered to sell back individual real estate holdings that it acquired when it went on an aggressive buying spree in 2015 -- all based on debt.

I wonder if Prime Minister Crisco Butt knows this background? Baha Mar een out of the woods yet.

Reuben Rhaming and PTAB had uniformed bus drivers, an interconnected radio system, an electronic fare card, modern jitneys and a truly functioning scheduling, non-poach system, a fuel cooperative, and all he got for his troubles was a slap on the face and a huge loss of money, In addition he was put out of business by the government cronies and corruption in the road traffic department. What is not generally known, is that the police own jitneys on the side, and their corruption is one of the reasons that any attempts to reform and organise the transportation system fails.

Mr. Rahming is an outstanding Bahamian, a preacher in his church, a proud Fox Hillian, a community organiser, a model for youth, a patriot, and an entrepreneur and all he gets is to tote cut hip financially for trying to improve his country. A Bahamian in his own country is put down, not recognised and if he is not corrupt, all of his efforts come to naught.

If you see something wrong in this country that is not being fixed, it is because PLP cronies are benefiting from the messed up situation.

Sad state of affairs. Why does Pinder use language like that?

Nice Pic. I can see my house in it.
