Bran: Govt should say sorry for selling a dream

I wanna buy shares in Bosch or Panasonic - but the PEE ELLE PEE and EFFIN EMM made it illegal for us to invest outside the country - so we will remain broke and get all the scraps.

How can we ever expect to make enough money to invest back into this country - eg. our own Bahamian owned Hotels, etc - if we cannot invest into billion dollar companies, startups etc, that will no doubt make us the money to do so. Hell we have 300,000 people, 1 city in the US is easily 1 million, and there are tons of cities - but according to law we cannot invest in those cities or in other words, sell anything to those potential customers (other than from within this country, and they are not coming here to buy something they can get cheaper there, thanks to customs, intl shipping and cost of living here being 3 times that of the US). We cannot buy stocks in anything outside of this country, we are not allowed to invest outside of the Bahamas.

And then to slap us in the face and piss down our neck to finish off the abuse, any big job in this country goes to EFFIN EMM or PEE ELLE PEE cronies, and or foreign workers/companies - Bahamians that are not criminals, are left with the scraps.

40 years and Bahamians are still slaves. Buying BTC shares won't help anyone, Cry for the Bahamas.

Man caught in hail of bullets fired at home

There have been numerous persons killed in motor vehicles that was occupied by more than just the victim. And in most instances everyone except the intended victim ends up unharmed. Yet you don't think this crime( (killing of young black men) is organized.

Wynn Group proposes $65m Goodman’s Bay development

Comrades don't be at all surprised, if you wake up one Nassau Town morning and Paradise Island and Baha Mar and all associated properties become as one, with access only via crossing over da Comrade Sidney's Bridge? Even da American Ambassador will be required to have a special, "yes ya can cross da bridge pass. The USA State Department knows, I'm not making no joke.

EDITORIAL: What will stop these abuses from happening again?

*> Not only was he locked away illegally

for such a long time, he told of how he was abused at the detention centre, stripped naked, handcuffed under a table, and beaten repeatedly with a PVC pipe. He told of tear gas being used on detainees.<

How many young, Bahamian men suffered similar fate under the force of Bahamian police? They were dragged out of their warm beds and homes in the middle of the night, beaten and otherwise physically and verbally abused, kept in police custody for days, being denied food snd medical assistance. Some were lucky enough to be released, beaten and broken, but to never be the same. Others were charged with offenses they will have to spend years and thousands of dollars defending. Some just gave up and submitted to the duo of injustice. To spend months or years even, in prison. And they didn’t even receive a ‘paltry $641,000.00’. In fact some were released from prison only to be executed within a matter of hours. The system is very broken. Yes sir, massa, sir! Time to see individuals brought up on charges and made to explain their actions! Touch one, touch everyone!

@ComradeEconomist, we need much more with your intelligent and direct approach to counter anti-Vaccination attitudes, and dangers they not only present to themselves and family members but every person they come into contact with.
Your words are not going unnoticed, yes?

Davis move on gender equality

“What does this mean in simple language?’ ‘ We had two referendums and what is so ironic about that fact is that we have more females on the voting registrar than males, but yet still we have on two occasions an attempt to amend our constitution to entrench the concept of gender equality fails. So we have to devise and this is what this government is doing. So, looking at domestic laws and seeing how we can level the playing field so as to ensure that there is gender equality.” That government intends to go against the Will of the people ?
