tribanon 4 years, 5 months ago on HACKERS STRIKE AT GOVT SYSTEM: Russians and Bulgarians behind cyber raid on key banking and personal data

Minnis and this mangy potcake of his, Bethel, would blame the China virus on the PLP if they believed they could get away with doing so.

Truth be told the FNM government has allowed itself to be pressured by the EU, OECD, FATF, etc. into gathering highly sensitive information on the beneficial ownership and business activities of most types of entities domiciled in the Bahamas. This highly sensitive personal business information is now stored on data bases kept by the registered agent of the entity as well as the Registrar General's Department (RGD). But many of the registered agents and the RGD itself do not heavily invest in secure IT systems and/or costly qualified IT personnel on a sustained basis. Today there's no such thing as personal financial or business privacy, especially in countries like the Bahamas that are under resourced and in a financial mess, and therefore are much too easily manipulated by foreign governments seeking to protect or increase the tax base of their citizenry globally.

And even when they do make significant IT investments, they usually do not get bang for the buck and are all too easily often taken to the cleaners by unscrupulous IT consultants, both local and foreign. The recent spate of serious cyber-criminal hacks of government maintained databases is sending a loud and clear message to the global financial community that the Bahamas is not a secure place to do business if you truly value the privacy of your more highly sensitive personal business information. Let's not forget too that cyber-criminals are well known to extort high networth individuals or sell their highly sensitive information to the highest bidder which often includes financial regulators and tax authorities in other juridictions who might have a keen interest in such information.

Initially, I was for all the measures taken to combat COVID-19. However, recently I am not so sure. One death is tragic but there is a tolerant number of death society is prepared to accept. I think there are sufficient treatment options currently available that allows for that acceptable number. Our choices are, an acceptable number of deaths or societal breakdown.

worst you can do is to create artificial human gatherings like these big queues everywhere. There is no proof you won't catch the virus there. Lock down makes everything ineffective, no problem was ever solved by doing stuff without efficiency.

God I wish uninformed people would keep their assinine opinions to themselves...

I have really grown to hate social media. The cons soooo outweigh the pros for garbage like facebook and twitter... I would so love to see every single one of them erased from existence...

This announcement is not surprise because every country on the global is on alert. However, these countries understand more about this virus. They are moving forward to rebuild a stronger economy and help working class families to get back to work during this crisis with COVID-19. Every person has a responsibility to themselves to take precaution and follow health guide-lines to prevent the spread.

ThisIsOurs 4 years, 3 months ago on Tourism 'cannot' return amid surge

"D’Aguilar said the “ideal” scenario might be one where Bahamians did not travel abroad, but the borders were opened to allow tourists to come in. However, acknowledging that the government “cannot mandate that”, the minister agreed that Bahamians had already shown their opposition to any ..."

they're still trying to push this irrational argument. the tourist has to come from the same country as Bahamians returning home. Each has an equal probability of arriving infected. The fact that they're still treating tourists as crystal white and Bahamians as filthy black means we are for sure set for a 3rd wave.

Tourism and aviation's crown minister Montagu's House-elected MP Comrade Dioniso Theodore James was once the lead white knight prince to replace Mr. Theodore Minnis. Nod Once for Yeah, Twice for No?

You morons allowed Bahamians to travel to Florida with no testing/quarantine. You knew damn well it would cause a surge and you knew tourism was impossible in a surge.....

You, Minnis and Turnquest need to resign. None of you have the common sense necessary to run a country...

and you did say quite a bit that this surge was a done deal as soon as they announced the travel rules.

Sadly, you were 100% correct.

This dumb deceitful weasel of an idiot should have fallen on his sword when Sands did. He will never ever have any credibility with the Bahamian people again after his most foolish and stupid decision with Minnis's consent to prematurely reopen our borders thereby allowing the deadly Communist China Virus to return to our shores.
