Comrades like it comes as any surprise that The Tribune be on "foreign soil," badmouthing their own Bahamaland. Next, we'll find out they're go'in be splitting the travel costs, with who else but The Nassau Guardian. Traitors disguised as journalists.

How does reporting on an event that is in the news make anyone a traitor? The real traitors would be the ones who put the country in this stink in the first place by abusing the people and those who refuse to deal with it as a matter of urgency thus allowing us to be dragged through the mud.

Why is it that every PLP supporter is calling anyone that disagrees with the government's handling of this matter and anyone that reports anything on this matter a traitor.

Little man ,could you please give the E ,F,M ,s a break . I m fifty one years old you have no knowledge of what party i,ve voted for in what elections ..The FNM are not in power now ,We are discussion events that have transpired the in summer of 2013 .The PLP is the governing party .PGC wanted to be PM and fought hard for that honor . The good ,the bad and the in between is his now ..

Comrades look into the angry faces in the photo. Do they really have a look of care for we Bahamalanders paychecks? is this the kind of ugly face of Bahamaland that the two dailies wish to aid in presenting to the world? God I hope not. The talk'in on the street corners by most Bahamalanders reflects that they DO NOT feel that their two daily local newspapers should be the key local sources to promote the interests of these radical Cubans. Cubans who broke our immigration laws. Make not mistake about the true intentions of the Congresswoman and her Florida Cuban Movement buddies. They are all hell-bent on bringing economic harm to our tourism industry. For The Tribune to have joined with the Cubans, and on foreign soil, is in many a Bahamalanders eyes, an outright betrayal of their own Bahamaland. There, I said it and I damn well meant it. Minister Freddy IS NOT their main political target. We all know it's PM Christie, whose the main Target of the Cubans. And, is not PM Christie, not also the main target of our local media? Comrades in the PLP cabinet. I know some you well and pray you will understand that if you allow Freddy to get fired, you will have demonstrated what many reds shirts want people to believe about you. That you have no bullocks, to ever do what is right. that ya ball-less.

@TalRussell, a question for you. Why would these groups discontinue their activities when our govenment continues to insist that nothing happened even in the face of what now appears to be incontrovertible evidence to the contrary from our own law enforcement agencies involved? Are these Cuban activists fully and solely to blame? Is the Tribune or Guardian fully and soley to blame? What is our culpability? The problem with projecting blame is that it often robs us of taking personal responsibility for our circumstances. The question we should be asking now is "What can or should we do to get in front of this issue". Sitting in the corner, sobbing, sulking, blaming and sucking our thumb just won't cut it.

This is so disgraceful,I have been reading the tribune ever since I was a child,to be honest I probably will because at times this paper do help the downtrodden and the obs. on thursdays,but this fiasco is totally waring down on us,the only way I would of protest is not read the tribune,sadly they also part owners of the guardian,totally entrapped. My Lord, now the Haitian in Florida running out, people would like to believe we(Bahamian people) are solely to blame, its a lie we blame the Bay Street Boys,Conchy joes in Abaco,Eleuthera, then the Politicians, who when they no longer need their service or not willing to pay permits any longer,run them of in the bush.
How long before a woman anywhere in the world can report rape and get some justice?Are they now going to imply that our justice system is garbage never no justice?From what I know, ANY woman report rape in this Country will receive their day in court, and if proven so the perpetrator will find their way to Fox Hill Prison right?Again bearing my political persuasion(I am proud to say I am a swing voter,whomever I feel has done the people good I will vote for you SIMPLE)I really know this is "politics" come 2017, and I for one don't buy it,So Be It.

Comrade John Doe, if i agreed with you, wouldn't we both be wrong? Rather than me joining your wrongness, would you permit me, if only for a few seconds to press the reset button over a brutal video that the local media decided to offer as factual evidence of an occurrence committed by Bahamalander detention center Guards, against their Cuban detainees. Are you with me so far? Excellent. Now, this is the probably the point where I'm sure you may not wish to stick around to hear the truth. The truth being, that at NO time did the local media ever make any attempt to verify the credibility of the all alleged beat'in video. Comrade John Doe, I had presumed before pushing the reset button, that you had not been made aware, that the Cubans themselves have since admitted to the media, that yes indeed, they had in fact engage Spanish actors to re-stage the entire damn video? That NO Bahamalander guards were featured in the video. No, even one local guard. Comrade WITHOUT the re -staged video, the local media wouldn't have had no beat'in of Cubans front page story to run with? it was all a big RED lie. Now, do you understand better, why I just couldn't rush to join, your wrong? I hope you see you in Church on Sunday morning, at the alter I pray, seeking forgiveness.
AMEN!
JohnDoe 11 years, 2 months ago
@TalRussell, you entirely miss my point. For me the question at hand is not one of who is right or wrong or tit for tat. It is my belief that with respect to this issue an "eye for an eye" would leave both of us blind. Maybe that works for them, but to my thinking this is not in our best interest because our objectives are incompatible to theirs. As activists it is their objective to agitate. Our objectives should be more expansive and should be more noble, even though we are currently not acting like it. We are a sovereign nation that should stand for something positive that makes each Bahamian proud to be a Bahamian. Just because the video may have been staged, should not give us the liberty to act the fool as well. We should be..... we must be bigger than that. In any event, independent direct evidence has now been put forth that makes the video irrelevant. Do we just ignore this new evidence and continue to talk about the video? That is the issue for me, what should we do now? Do we double down with our strategy about how the video was staged, ignoring all other evidence, or should we take steps to get in front of this issue?

Seriously TAL? Are you that much of a political sheep! Are you really one of the sheeple? Had the F.A. Minister initially said that we don't know what has happened, we will investigate and based on the finding we will take the appropriate course of action. Things may not have been so bad. But he he felt the need to say, nothing happened, we een do it! C'mon he should have had more common sense than that. His arrogance and his failure to realize that he may have erred isn't enough, he has to now refuse to admit his arrogance, despite the now insurmountable evidence that is pointing to the contrary of his statement.

It is you my Comrade John Doe who is the only one hoping I will allow you to totally skip over why practicing ethics is good for ALL Bahamalanders, the young and the older, our merchants, teachers, lawyers, policeman's, taxi drivers, including the journalists at our two daily newspapers. You simply cannot overlook that neither newspaper should have reported the way they did on this fake video, without doing their due diligence, because we now know as a proven fact that had they not jumped for any opportunity of propagandizing a fake video, we would not be having this discussion. You must never believe that just because they hold the two main media power positions in our Bahamaland that they are above being challenged, by we common Comrades. You and I. What will really matter in the long run for our Bahamaland future, will not be this about Cuban nuisance that will soon blow away, but the by the credibility of doing and saying what is right for this tiny Bahamaland. This reckless form of reporting on a fake video, speaks against everything that so many have worked so hard to build our Bahamaland into. That any past or present government would ever condone beating or raping another human being, is about about the most ugl, disgusting statement that anyone can make about a people's nation!

Nobody Knows what really happen and its possible that we may never know, Only God and the alleged victims and perpetrators, what we can do now is move on and implement measures to prevent any further allegations of mistreatment, rape or brutalities such as closer monitoring of the facilities and our borders.
These allegations can never be proven and they are just that allegations there is no facts to these protesters allegations. There are no videos and there are no official admittance of any wrongdoing.
Until conditions improve in countries like Haiti, Cuba etc, we will always see an influx of nationals from these countries seeking to migrate to find a better opportunity and quality of life, when they are in our custody we must always remember to continue to treat each migrant humanely and to justify their migration/asylum on a case by case basis.

there are reports of detainees, male and female, engaging in prostitution! They are assisted by officers on duty and the proceeds are shared. if you dig deep enough and look hard enough you will discover that for years the detention center has been a source of many illegal activities and because the detainees are not under criminal detention their access to the outside world is not as restricted. there was a detainee that sent word back to his family to send women to Nassau to work from the center. this goes deep. The authorities know whats going on and the difficulties of controlling it.

Least some may still be holding some doubt about who the red shirts are more comfortable standing alongside, maybe there loud talk over the past week "on behalf of the Cubans," may quickly settle that argument, even for some you PLP supporters who may be thinking the PM is in trouble is this Cuban thing. Comrades there's no better an opportune time to reflect back on what separates our two main political parties, than over this Martin Luther King Jr remembrance weekend. remember the hard fought struggles of Labour. Once you reflect more about who the red shirts are more comfortable defending, than the Cuban bumps in that PM Christie must deal with, the better you will understand what really separates the two political parties. The red shirts biggest fear is their own people, of which they sure as hell got a good taste back on May 8, 2012. A red party who has proven they will promote the rights of illegals, as if they were entitled to the same constitutional rights afforded Bahamalanders. I honesty believe, if the red shirts are still around as a political party come the 2017 General Elections, their party's Manifesto won't even bother to mention the dreams, hopes and aspiration policies and programs on behalf of Bahamalanders. My Dear Comrades look forward to reading a 2017 Manifesto of an even longer wish list for any one, eager to violate the immigration laws of our tiny Bahamaland.

OMG, am i the only one tired of reading the politically biased inunendo that talrussell posts to a variety of different news reports, some of which have not even a smidgem of political context to it? Its a shame that all you can ever say is "blame the red shirts" or "red shirts this red shirts that", will you ever see the bigger picture? At this point it doesnt matter whos fnm or plp, simply because the Bahamas as a country (comprised of non voters, plps, fnms, dnas, old, young etc) is under scrutiny due to the nature of the allegations made. Its necessary to stick together, but do the right thing at the same time and to ensure the proper and necessary avenues were taken to confront the issue. Gosh!!! I have to scroll past your comments to read sensible and most often RELEVANT opinions. You should go and work for bahamaspress.com.
