Trilogy of tribulation

The turn of the century brought with it significant challenges and a unique crisis to both major political organisations, as they moved towards governance here in The Bahamas:

There are animals which when one of their herd is set upon – attacked by a lion – lion’s open mouth closed upon the throat of its victim – and not one wildebeest – not one zebra – to use two examples – would dare to interrupt or to intervene.

The terror remembered

Long ago in Hungary my father John lived a life of challenges. Never had he experienced freedom or the ability to express himself fully as Magyar Land was oppressed by The Soviet.

Haitian candidate on Ukraine

On Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered military forces and missiles in Ukraine. A few hours later, a Haitian political leader Werley Nortreus has said he wants the Caribbean nations to stay away from Ukraine's ongoing crisis to protect the Caribbean territories.

Protect the property owners

I completely agree with Sam Duncombe when she raises the question: “Why are we paying taxes when our homes are not protected …?”

Hopefully the end of NATO

Since 1989, NATO has had no good reason to exist.

Shenseea should be banned

A US-based online news site recently reported that The Bahamas leads the world in rape cases per capita. According to the site, the rate is pegged at 133 per 100,000 people. In the Caribbean country of St Vincent and the Grenadines, the rate is 112 per 100,000; while in Jamaica it is 51 per 100,000.

Researching a living wage

I’m Lesvie Archer, principal investigator behind the living wages study. Public interest in the study's findings is exciting and I'd like to contribute by sharing some short, but interesting facts:

Democracy needs you

OVER half a century ago on a chilly morning in March, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. reminded us that “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.” Though change may be slow and difficult — whether on racial justice, democratic reform, or economic equality —progress is possible when like-minded people, institutions, and governments join forces to bend the moral arc toward justice.

Is PM Davis serious?

The Law requires statutory fiscal reporting by I believe February 24th… who cares why comply with the Law… we will accommodate the FNM so they can scream at the Government at their convention!

Forgetful when it suits them

It amazes this writer just how conveniently forgetful our politicians are when it suits them … I recall with the sale of the Hotel Corp property on Cable Beach to Arison and the building of The Crystal Palace, Carnival were granted, as I recall, a large amount of Government land in Andros and required to grow produce…I believe the Hon Loftus Roker insisted and proposed this.
