The top Chinese bosses of CCA are already being investigated by the FBI, so guess where the investigation will come next once they start singing and ratting out all of thieves involved in this project in the Bahamas??? This is better than tv!!

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.

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!

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.

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.

British man shot dead after armed robbers board his sailboat
This is what happens when succesive corrupt governments spend all the their effort and time trying to rape and steal from the Bahamian people instead of working to improve the education system and social services. And it's also what happens when the vast majority of Bahamian citizen, sit around and do and say nothing about it.
The failure of school system has left most of this country illiterate and uneducated. Citizens lack the basic skills required to do the simplest jobs. Unemployment is at it's current level because the unemployed are not trained to work. This leaves them with little to no options. As crime rises, tourists stop coming and 70% of the economy of the Bahamas will begin to grind to a halt. The longer this is left to fester, as the leaders flip flop back and forth between excuses while the Bahamian people sit around and suck their teeth while doing absolutely nothing, the worse it's going to get.
It is a past time of the Bahamian people to blame others for everything that does not go their way in life, and in this case it is true. The governments of this country have done nothing to help it, but that is the fault of every Bahamian. It is the people who put these corrupt leaders into power and it is the people who refuse to stand up and demand something better for the country. For once we could actually do something, actually demand something of our governments and our leaders.

No tears for Christie, just tears for what might have been. The Country has lost so much during these last five years. It may take a generation for us to recover. The next five years ain't gonna be easy but I just hope that when we next go to the polls, Bahamians remember how bad things were under this administration and how close they were to driving us over the financial cliff.
Chucky 8 years, 11 months ago on Pastors' plea to US on gay rights
Pastors' plea to US on gay rights
I would like to suggest an alternative:
Pass laws banning the practice of any religion, in every country in the world.
Here are some good reasons:
Religion is man mad, and has nothing to do with any god. If we came from Adam and Eve, and they had two children- Cain & Able, how did they reproduce...... so many lies in all the " good books"
Pastors and Preachers etc, quite often take the church money to buy big houses and fancy cars.
Religion is the cause of many wars and much violence. While its true their have been wars caused by the non religious, if we ban religion we can eventually grow out of religious wars and violence.
Many in the church are the most despicable people on this earth, take the Catholic church for instance, how many members have been caught up in paedophilia , the whole church including the pope supports transferring these criminals to other jurisdictions to avoid prosecution.
Christians burned " witches at the stake" for 500 years Christians used to burry children in foundations and post holes to appease the weather gods. Exodus verse 21 21 clearly states that you can beat your slaves (just another religious verse supporting slavery and the slaves torcher)
Need I go on? The church is last place on earth we will ever find the "moral high ground"!
Anything good that is done in the name of god, would be better done just because a person thought it should be. Do you really need God to tell you to help others, you'd be a better person if you help others because you believe you should, not needing "god" to tell you to.
Religions collect billions yearly, pay no taxes and for the most part, don't spend the money on people in need. What good is this? Ie the Catholic church is one of the richest institutions in the world. If there was a god, and one worthy of praying to, he'd never want any of these scumbag organizations who purport to do his work. Also, if a god created the earth, he'd easily create money for those in need......
I'm not a fan of, nor someone who can dislike someone because they're gay or lesbian. I can only like or dislike those who I've met. The few I've met are no worse than anyone else, and likely a lot better than the religious freak pastors and preachers who speak all these "good words" and meanwhile take all the church money for themselves..
I know, god works in mysterious ways- Lets stop this foolishness and move on with life.

Baha Mar has suffered great financial harm as a result of a government that we elected; accordingly, we (the Bahamian people) should be prepared to ante up for the mega-millions of dollars in losses we have wrongfully caused the principal developer. Baha Mar will now simultaneously pursue the only two courses of action it is left with in an effort to mitigate its losses; losses that we (the Bahamian voters) have caused it. Baha Mar will file an appeal to Winder's ruling which will slowly make its way to the Privy Council via an upholding of the ruling by our Appeals Court under the sway of Christie & Maynard-Gibson. At the same time Baha Mar will commence a suit against the Bahamian government for damages which will also slowly work its way to the Privy Council. Meanwhile, just about every foreigner will turn their back on the Bahamas, and rightfully so. The U.S. government can also be expected to come down on us like a ton of bricks, which will start with a significant downgrading of our country's credit rating by the U.S. controlled rating agencies.

All Bahamians will do the honourable thing and respect the PM... once he and his entire cabinet have resigned.
Short of that, the appropriate response to Mitchell, Davis, Christie, Gibson, Maynard and Co. is to tell them, in harsher language, to "go fly a kite" and good luck fooling the ignorant masses you keep in perpetual poverty and ignorance through your destructive approach to governance. Respect is earned. We are all adults and no self respecting adult has respect for corrupt, thieving and disgusting human beings like yourselves. You want respect, resign. That's it. We live in a democracy where freedom of thought and speech is respected. If the PM is not doing his job and his government is a pathetic bunch of thieves then free people should not respect that government.

You are absolutely right. Another operator will take over the leases tomorrow. Baha Mar will be open by October. Crime will stop because people will realise how stupid it is. The guns will be donated to BAMSI to make ploughshares and unemployment will drop to 1%. The Haitians will all leave by September, everyone in the Bahamas will be making $50,000 a year by November, and maybe Jesus will come and rapture the PLP.

My aunt doesn't need a wheelchair that costs over two thousand dollars. She needs a healing at the PLP headquarters. There is nothing wrong with her. It's all in her head.
How could I have been so blind, as to not recognise that our Dear Leader is not all wise. And our unmarried cabinet ministers are so masculine that woman are afraid of them. And the chairman could have been a Rhodes scholar if he could have found the right road in his youth. And the cauliflower ears of the attorney general are that way from the wisdom that drips from her orifices. Dear me. I am so wrong.
How could I have been so blind? Quick, cut my head open, and implant the chip before I change my mind.
No my dear Tal, you chide me because I voice your secret fears. And you do not have the intellectual honesty to admit it.
