"Will you walk into my parlour?" said a spider to a fly; " 'Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy. The way into my parlour is up a winding stair, And I have many pretty things to shew when you are there."

.....He dragged her up his winding stair, into his dismal den, Within his little parlour — but she never came out again!

Just substitute lockdown for parlour and 'the govmin dem' for the spider and we are good to go. Lockdowns are worldwide and they are getting more restrictive. There are no plans to end the lockdowns ie they will be endless. Strangely, boosting immune systems and herd immunity seem unfashionable these days.

The minister appears to be clueless when he said "...there are two things I can point to. First of all, no incident of load shedding this last summer for the first in about three decades. The second one is the surcharge that you pay in New Providence now is half of when we came to power..."

Firstly, there was no load shedding last summer due to hotel and business closures and cutbacks because of covid - BPL had more than enough capacity to service that abnormally low summer demand.

Secondly, the fuel surcharge fluctuates with the price of fuel, and the price of fuel has been relatively low since the covid lockdowns. So the minister is claiming credit for changes BPL has no influence over. Hopefully, he is not being bamboozled by his lackeys at BPL.

TPTB warned that covid would mutate in a few months or so. Well this mutation is just one of the many mutations to come. The official narrative is to get the vaccine and repeat the lockdowns again to flatten any resurgent mutant curve. That is the endless loop which is now the new normal ie the recipe to cure the mutations are more testing, more vaccines and more lockdowns. The inconvenient side effects of a dead economy and persons having no work are of no importance when compared to the noble goal of flattening the curve and saving economically shattered lives.

@proudloudandfnm - Apparently, whenever anyone disagrees with the mainstream narrative he is labeled as a conspiracy nut - even qualified doctors are also labeled. MD Russell L. Blaylock has been giving out info for years, and he is a very good teacher. Look him up; it will do you good.

The word for today appears to be "dimwitted". Our officials took very long to catch on to the game being played with the pcr test. First world countries are still in lockdown and turmoil; also inflation has started with millions out of work. The new normal is firmly in place. The sly game of opening hotels before yuletide did not translate into acceptable occupancy due to the new normal. The info of what is happening worldwide is easily available, but our leaders appear to be from the lowest 5 percentile of our beloved D-minus population.

Months ago I warned that the lockdown is indefinite, as TPTB said mutations occur in a matter of months. Prepare to get vaccines every couple of months or so during the indefinite lockdown.

Our money is debt based, and debt is paid via labour and/or materials (land, structures, etc). The most stable currencies are those of the superpowers, as their armed forces and secret services enforce that stability. The superpowers are ruled by and are the enforcers of the banksters; the rest of us are prey. The modus operandi of change through the conflict of opposing forces between the superpowers keeps their prey in a state of confusion.

BPL bills have two components.

1. The fuel surcharge which is based on customer usage and "BPL should receive little to no benefit from its hedging strategy, given that the fuel charge is a 'pass through' to the end-user that is supposed to be covered 100 percent by consumers."

2. The kilowatthour usage based on a government approved price per kilowatthour. This is where the so called increased efficiency of BPL should lower BPL,s production cost. If it is actually true that "the new charge will be offset by reduced fuel costs and efficiency gains, produced by BPL’s new Wartsila and General Electric (GE) engines on New Providence, such that the impact on overall bills will be “cost neutral”", then no extra charges should be on our bills. Because BPL itself would reap a windfall with much lower production costs while we chumps are stuck with paying the high fixed kilowatthour rate. So where does an extra charge come from if our bills are to be cost neutral? This appears to be nothing but deceptive doublespeak, which is to be expected from an organization that is not transparent and cloaks its doings.

Normalcy bias, or normality bias, is a cognitive bias which leads people to disbelieve or minimize threat warnings. Consequently, individuals underestimate the likelihood of a disaster, when it might affect them, and its potential adverse effects.

Government and government related salaries and perks should have been cut from the beginning of the pandemic in March. The Bahamas is suffering from normalcy bias and fails to realize that no one is coming to rescue us; the vultures have already sized us up, and it is now only a waiting game before the onset of merciless pillage. Yet the government acts as if we are still under normal world conditions. No one is going to save our lives and we are going down for the last time.
