My my my. . .don't they know that no slaves directly from Africa were brought into the Bahamas. . .except those that were brought from America after the Loyalists were kicked out of America with their Gulla Slaves? Before that migration, blacks were here as ship wreaked or rescued blacks from slave ships that were destined for locations further south!!
Making enslaved blacks work on plantations did not happen in New Providence. . .or other out islands until the Loyalists "tried" their hands at a few plantations throughout the Bahama Islands after leaving America to avoid living under the newly formed American Government following the break-away from Britian. Those few plantations did not last very long and the Loyalists went back to England and other places, leaving their black slaves free as jaybirds on out island plantations and a few in NP. And the few in NP lived in their own free villages such as Grants Town, Fox Hill, Adalaide and Gambier etc.
New Providence was never a slave holding station for any type of use for force labor like other Caribbean countries. Runaways and other rescued from other captured slave ships from all over the Caribbean and America were brought to New Providence and set free!
Since those few Loyalists tried and fail at "slavery" in the Bahamas. . .the Bahamas has never been a slave-holding state!! After 1834, the crown paid all slaveholders for each slave freed within the Caribbean but did not have to pay for black people living freely in the Bahamas!
The Gulla were long freed into various out islands and the runner ways from slavery and blacks resecured from slave ships were typically brough to New Providence. Africans in the Bahamas were not typically slaves. . .except Loyalists Gulla, who were slaves for a little while until the Loyalists gave-up on plantations in the Bahamas and left their plantations and Gulla slaves to themselves.
Yinna just settle down. . .listen to Dr. Rollins. . .he smells a rat. . .or should I say, a Pintard!!
Now yinna see what I said about why I hate Pintard as leader. . .he has no integrity as a leader. . .he will do any dumb shit to remain relevant!!
Some short time ago he row-out the PLP for bringing in US research groups to do over-views of the PLP's performances in the election!! He thought that them PLPs were sleaze bags and dirty corn-holes for bringing in Americans to do election reviews among us Bahamians!!
Now. . .by damn he brought in them Jamaicans to do his election performance reviews!!m
Where is the strain in that statement? I suggest that you and the ambassador go and read Mr. Hayward's statements. . .yinna are the only persons talking about any breeching of business agreements!!
Our courts nor the Privy Council would allow the government to do such a thing!! Did you ever take the time to follow the Toby Smith case. . .all the way to the Privy Council. . .even though they still told him that he had no case. . .he was able to plea all the way up to PC!
Every Bahamian and investors can do the same whenever aggrieved!!
Lastly, I challenge you and the Ambassador to name one case in the Bahamas where they invest in the Bahamas and then the investments rules changed to disadvantage the investor?? And if you can find one case. . .send me the name of the case so that may go and read it!!
And as far as the government "trying to take over regulatory power". . .the government is the regulatory power in the Bahamas!
I ask us. . .if ever in that area. . .stop and buy something. . .i know I will do so just to support Ann! Better still. . .let us make it a point to go and look for Ann's cart and buy some hotdogs. . .she deserves it!!
GBPA seem to be arguing from a position of weakness (their weakness came from arbitration dismissals of counterclaims) that show the government where to "kick" the chair from under GBPA in accordance with HBA!
Reading between the lines with Hayward information suggests that they are "gotten by the balls" and will bend before they have to break!
Damn. . .it seems that Brave has "bust they balls" after all these years of them "slow-walking" Freeport to where they collect taxes and keep gearbox on stop!! Classical taxation without representation! That big and fat giant sitting on the GB pie will be cooped or driven into the sea!!
However my desire to see GBPA finally driven into the sea. . .Hayward's "between the lines" already tell us what it will be in the end. . ."**GBPA will be here and the government will be here"* Good show to both the government and GBPA. . .government will take over things that governments do in the first place and GBPA will maintain the original idea for Freeport!!
That's why accounts auditing professionals is expected to ask questions of such complex funds management techniques and ability to read such funds management techniques!
