Nygard claims target Bacon

AT WHAT was supposed to be a press conference to announce a $10,000 donation to the upcoming Acklins regatta, Peter Nygard spent a great deal of time verbally attacking his billionaire rival Louis Bacon – including alleging that one of his family members was a high ranking Ku Klux Klan member.

Mr Nygard yesterday made comments about Mr Bacon’s relationship with black people which he claimed stemmed from Roger Moore, Mr Bacon’s great grandfather who was allegedly an infamous KKK organiser.

He said that Mr Bacon found it problematic that black Bahamians had visited Nygard Cay for decades.

“I have been bringing black people here for 40 years,” Mr Nygard said, “bringing the ordinary Bahamian in here. Not just the guys who are on top of the food chain but every day Bahamians.

“My neighbour had not liked that. In fact he hated that because he and I come from two different schools. I come from Finland. We were slaves to Russia. We had to bow to the master all the time. (But) he comes from North Carolina and his great grandfather was the grand dragon.

“The ultimate black haters. So we come from two different cultures and he has a tremendous hatred for me.”

According to Mr Nygard, it is that reasoning which has caused Mr Bacon to hire certain influential persons to tarnish his good reputation lending to a continuing bitter relationship between them both.

“He has been hiring people to criticise me and ruin my reputation (of) which I have a good reputation everywhere in the world.

“I wasn’t so fortunate when Mr Bacon moved in. He decided to declare all war on me. A very silent war at first doing all kinds of sneaky things which I didn’t talk about. I didn’t bring it to the forefront. (The) only reason this is to the forefront now is because of Mr Bacon himself decided to attack me and the whole government and politicise the whole issue in here.

“It’s been pretty difficult for me this year because I had to continue to defend my goodness and defend something that shouldn’t even be defended.”

Nygard really believes we are stupid. Google his name and see what you find; then tell me where in the world does he have a good reputation. Name one place...smt.

The disturbing thing about this entire affair is listening to the dialogue between he and CB Moss. It is clear that he feels he has bought us and we owe him.

He also claimed not get involved in politics here but again listen to the recording with him and CB Moss. This man clearly has a problem with the truth.

Far to many of us have become beggars always asking for a slow dis or dat, it has become deeply ingrained in our culture. He has been here long enough to know that and figures he throws a couple dollars here and there; invite us to one of his sordid parties then he has his minions controlled and bowing to their god.

smoke and mirrors. Every time the heat gets turned up on Nygard, he deflects attention to Bacon. This man is a hot mess. An old bahamian saying. "If you lie down with dog, you catch fleas."

Comrade Peter featured on YouTube. ACCESS to that beautiful sandy beach you see in this video belongs to ALL natives, regardless of your economic standing. The rich and the poor.That's what the "High Water Mark" law of Bahamaland says.

Here’s what one of Nygard’s former ladies had to say about the Nygard International CEO:

“Peter has a lot of women and he supported us all financially. I was Peter’s –th girlfriend and Pamela Anderson was dating him too.

Pam was getting $38K a month to be Peter’s girlfriend. Beverly Johnson was getting sponsored by Peter too. I don’t know how much he was paying Beverly, but I know I was only getting $5K a month.

I was pissed at what I was getting paid so I asked Peter why is Pam making more than me? Peter told me ‘Black girls were cheaper’. Peter always kept the morning after pill around because he didn’t want any girl trying to get pregnant on him.

Jacky, Peter’s main girl can’t go to the bathroom when she wakes up in the morning. Know why? Because Peter’s main girl has to go straight to his room and urinate and defecate on him. Don’t believe me? Ask Suelyn Medeiros.

He used to take us to the Bahamas and that’s where a lot of sh*t when down but that’s another story.

I’ll say this Peter is a f*****g racist.”

Even this Comrade is embarrassed at the behavior of PLP cabinet ministers. People still without no paychecks and they have time to be entertained by a man who many natives cannot stomach.

One would hope that after 40 years of independence our elected governments would be ready to govern this country as an independent country for the benefit of all its people... That seems sadly not to be the case...

This whole Nygard/Bacon saga shows that among our elite Lawyer/Doctor/Politician/ cabinet minister circle...the slave mentality still reigns supreme....the ( I get mine/you better get yours ) syndrome is still very much alive...even among our highest elected officials.

What is even more astounding, is that a nation as a whole, plus the collective power of the so , so, soooo many churches seems powerless to hold these elected officials accountable after an election. In recent years the world witnessed the so called "Arab Spring " when, in several countries in North Africa,the people rose up and unceremoniously got rid of incompetent, uncaring,leaders...the question is, when will the Bahamian Spring come?????

IT TRULY WILL/MUST COME !!!!!!

Despite a clearly visible minister of health Comrade Dr. Perry playing HIS cameo role in this video, still he has denied that he was ever at this party, before the 2012 General Election? Quite obviously it did take place AFTER he had become Bahamaland's minister for the peoples health. If it ain't the minister he sure as hell has a look-alike running around the beach party circut?. The bigger question must be asked. Should ministers of the crown be attending a private beach party of a resident who is not only a controversial figure in Bahamaland but who has much controversial business before the government? Shocked he and Hubert didn't get along, considering both of these men's act as if their sh*** don't stink? Comrade Nygard sure as hell seems to go way out of his way to come across as a different kind of billionaire than the natives have ever before experienced the likes of? Is that a good thing? You tell me? In the meantime I'd like to be nice by reminding the billionaire Comrade Nygard, to start acting like the "invited guest" he is in the "natives" Bahamaland. It ain't never go'in belong to no gold or shirt shirts regime. That's a damn fact.

Typo correction: Comrade Perry has denied he had attended Nygard's party, AFTER the 2012 General Elections. That when he had attended, he was not yet made a minister of the crown.

Rather than aligning themselves (and claiming to be proud to be in bed with) Peter Nygard, this Bahamas Government (notice I did not say PLP Government) needs to distance itself from both Peter Nygard and Louis Bacon. When since the differences between two residents of this country has escalated to the point that it grabs both national and international headlines on a too regular basis and furthermore it begs the average Bahamian almost on a daily basis to choose sides. If there was ever evidence that 'money talks', it is in this situation. Common sense would dictate to the Bahamas government to distance itself from both Bacon and Nygard and tell them, in nothing less than strong terms, to clean up their behavior or face the consequences. When Nygard is on the front page of a daily headline talking about the KKK, it gives a double meaning to the You Tube video title, ":Nygard takes the Bahamas back." This is an embarrassment when we, as a tourist nation, are trying to maintain racial harmony, and NYgard is trying to dig white sheets and pillowcases with holes cut out, for eyes to see, out of the closet.

so true. see: http://ortonplantation.com/orton_hist...">http://ortonplantation.com/orton_hist... re grandafather Moore. he died in 1751. the KKK was established in 1861 see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klu_Klux...">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klu_Klux... but whats a hundred and 10 years ? Guess Mr. Nygard never read, Winds from the Carolinas either. His history of the original loyalists that settled in the Bahamas is severely lacking I would say. Is he trying to insult all persons from the carolinas including the decendants of the original loyalist who are still there??? The land he is sitting on used to belong to one of them. . I wont say what I really think.
