fewtruebahamian; you neglected to mention the proposed airplane runway Athol Island proposed by a hotel based on an island north of New Providence; has everyone forgotten about this?
No one can ever accuse the nominating committee of having a racist bias. There are about 50,000 Bahamians of European extraction , there appears to be only 2 on this list of Bahamians being honoured. Very curious. And one of the recipient s is no longer alive, which is not noted.
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? In this case it would appear that custodes ipsos custodes? This begs the question of whether the public will have trust in the inevitable result of the allegations being found to have no merit?
Exposed2Fox writes that Russia has an economy the size of Texas. For those living in the real world the GDP of Russia was $2.0 trillion (nominal; 2023 est, The GDP of Texas in 2023 was 85,423 beef cattle, (my estimate)
Russia must be investing huge amounts of money supporting and promoting extreme right wing political .parties in the EU. Russia successfully coerced the British electorate to, narrowly, vote to leave the EU. Russia does not want a united European opposition to its expansionist plans. The country is very active on social media spreading its nationalist rhetoric and some people just believe it all. Sad. Sigh.
If you ask a mason to build a house then he will build that house using blocks. If you ask a carpenter to build a house then he will build that house using wood. If you ask a man whose profession revolves around using firearms to head up a tax collection entity then perhaps we should not be surprised that he uses firearms to do so. Sigh...
PoorW, you have posted a not inaccurate but unusual perspective. While the the USA does have a lower per capita murder rate then the Bahamas, we must also recognize that the Bahamas has almost the highest murder rate of any country in the world. Guns do make murder much easier and the murder rate of the USA is much higher than most other countries. Pinder may well be following Mexico's lead in this matter.
As it happens I know these people and the background, I find their story very believable but they, and we, the public, will sadly probably never know the name of the police person or police persons who saw fit to steal the money saved up for a life saving surgical operation. This is a sad reflection on the level of integrity to be expected from the Police Force, I am considering writing to our King Charles to have him rescind the Royal Charter granted to this state security force; I do not think that they deserve any longer. Perhaps we should be grateful that Mr. and Mrs. Deveaux did not own a pet dog to be killed by one of these armed and dangerous policepersons.
