ARRESTS AT CARICOM: Lincoln Bain detained during Baha Mar protest, Tribune reporter’s phone taken by police officer
I don’t believe or support 5% of what Lincoln Bain believes in but I am very grateful for him. He is offering a tremendous service to the nation by challenging the status quo and trying to hold the government accountable to the people.

WOW! Reading those emails made me so embarrassed! Fitzgerald was BEGGING for the contracts! I can't believe it. What does his father needing 24 hour care have to do with Sarkis? Why did he feel that Sarkis should give him anything? This guy must never sit in Cabinet again.

UPDATED: Rosewood bids to quit Baha Mar as govt argues for wind up petition
This is the start of the end.
It was sadly inevitable when the PLP stopped chapter 11 being recognised by the supreme court and prevented the debtor in possession financing being approved, as well as failing to pay foreign workers.
It doesn't matter if the building is complete, the Government's and the Chinese will have control of an empty shell, with no one willing to operate the hotels.
It was so obvious this would happen, yet they persisted to follow their own selfish and ego driven agenda. Shame on you Christie and you're gang of hacks. You have failed this country.

This is outrageous. Fine disagree with Sarkis but to say that you will kick him out of the country is not right. The government is already looking at seizing the hotels. Wouldn't you be a bit pissed off if someone came and was about to take +/- $750M from you?

Violence in Bahamas at levels close to armed conflict zones
I don't believe this. First there is demonstrable obsessive compulsive disorder in regards to bringing up the FNM in every conversation, and now there is denial of reality where just in today's paper, a Subway store is brazenly robbed, a baby is killed by a hit and run coward, the deputy prime minister was robbed at gunpoint, eight people were shot in a 24 hour period three weeks ago, the murder rate is in fact that of a war zone.
Let me educate you with some comparisons. Take Toronto, Canada. They have a population in the city of 2.78 million and they have had 31 homicides to this point. With that same rate, we should have three homicides every year. We have a tenth of that population and we have over 300% more homicides. Denying a problem makes you part of the problem and not part of the solution.

I seem to remember that Shane likes to do his psychological examination of potential permanent residents on a bed, but only after, as an expression of good family friendship, they have given him an expensive wrist watch.
Perhaps that is the kind of psychological examination he is promoting.

Mitchell’s office accuses Dr Rollins of ‘betrayal’
“Within the PLP he had become a poster child for emotional outbursts and not thinking through the many statements that he made." Is this woman serious? This whole damn dysfunctional organization is known for this. You all are a disgrace on a world stage, but your ego is so huge and you are so drunk with the perception of absolute power that you cannot get out of your own way. Betrayal? Thank God WE, the people, the few remaining productive people in this country, have a voice such as his that speaks up! Legal action? Have you never heard the way you all carry on, particularly when slandering innocent people from the protected halls of Parliament? Please, please. Sit small, and stop trying to impress the sheeple who suck up and embrace any piece of sewerage you all put out there in the public domain. For your further information, there are more than just Dr. Rollins who are unhappy about how the PLP has run this country deep into the ground. The only ones to be pitied are those of us who have to suffer under this beyond awful administration as a result of the misplacement of Xs at the polls. Betrayal? That's an apt description of what this government has done to the Bahamian people. How you can even put pen to paper to come up with this, and take a stance of a wronged party is laughable, and were the situation in which we now find ourselves not so scary we would sit speechless. I encourage every thinking, productive person who wants better for our country to actively campaign and to vote for the ousting of each and every one of these incompetent bastards from power. Once that is done, a whole lot of genuine and legitimate legal processes need to take place and appropriate punishment enforce to have them make proper atonement. Unbelievable.

The international community is not stupid. They will see this for what it is, the Bahamas government puppet (our court system) doing their bidding. Any fool that says our court system is independent can look at the many instances where government has influenced the judicial process. A certain numbers mans case just recently reeks of political direction. These corrupt politicians think they are fooling everyone when in reality they are only fooling themselves. FDI is a thing of the past unless it comes from China. Also how come it was fine for Atlantis to go into bankruptcy in Delaware but not Baha Mar? What is the big difference, the government has been directed by our new masters!

Ummm..... you've brought up this nonsense before.... and I've corrected you on it before.
Hubert Ingraham made Brent Symonette either relinquish that contract, or step down. Brent Symonette chose to relinquish the contract instead of being fired. This is a stark example of the many differences between the FNM and the PLP.
In classic PLP style, you try and turn this issue into a black and white issue or an issue relating to the "black crab" syndrome. But I regret to inform you that it's not. It's simply a case of our AG being in a position that conflicts with the office that she is now holding. If she had any integrity and respect for the office of the AG, she would know that she needs to abdicate her office.
So just stop talking foolishness, birdie.

You want respect? Then Earn it! Should be easy as you are starting from zero! Your 40 year old strategy of riling up "the Natives" against the foreign invader is done, notwithstanding that you and your ilk are primarily responsible for the majority of suffering that Bahamians must endure. You may well want an exodus of foreign investors who belong to the 1% club, as you might end up atop the pile of little that would be left. Enjoy the flies Fred.

Baha Mar files Chapter 11 'viable framework' reorganisation plan in Delaware
As I posted over a month ago:
There is a difference between being bankrupt/insolvent and filing for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection. Bankruptcy protection simply means that a person, or an entity, is protected from its creditors while being given the time to restructure. For some unknown reason this difference seems to be lost on the majority of people here in The Bahamas… Did American Airlines, for example, stop flying after it filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection?
If Baha Mar's Chapter 11 bid had not been refused, by now they would have been well on the way to completing the resort, and much closer to repaying their creditors.
A lot of time has been wasted because of The Bahamas government's [and its judiciary's] myopia.

Oh. Now you are concerned? Where was this concern when those dimwits put up all those friggin billboards in largely touristic areas, advertising the murder count? Anything to get into power right? Teach these people they have to work for a living. Help them become educated so they can make a more meaningful contribution to this nation. Set an example. All of you who go into parliament poor, come out filthy rich and are held unaccountable for not one thing while amassing this wealth in questionable fashion, are teaching them that they are entitled to everything, even when they didn't earn it, and that they are answerable to no one. This has been the order of the day for decades, and only God knows how to reverse this animalistic mentality.

I don't expect having a racist xenophobe as the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Immigration is going to add much value to this country, especially one that can only use an abnormally small percentage of his brain capacity.
"Baha Mar is a commercial entity, designed purely for the profit of the developer.” Ummmm.... no actually it is an entity designed to add hundreds of millions of dollars to the economy, although the Bahamian economy will likely see a small percentage of that, as the majority will no doubt go into the pockets of the politicians such as Mitchell.
I have a feeling that these "politicians" are in the process of digging their own graves yet are too naive to know it. By attracting this much global attention, surely it's a matter of time before the truth get's revealed and they all get exposed. Maybe in a few months they will have wished they spent some money carrying out a refurb her Majesty's Prison.......
