Bahamas Blog

How ya like dat? After I lambasted the little bloggy tykes on this blog, they have raised their heads from shame and resurfaced.

Now, they'll tell you it was all the comments on their blog begging them to come back, but we know most of those comments were actually written by themselves.

The real reason they came back is because I revealed them as the whores they are after they quit to take money from the PLP.

Hmmm, maybe that's why 3,000 people per day read this blog and 300 per day read theirs.

What does it matter anyway? With a population of mostly criminally-minded illiterates, no amount of common sense will ever change public opinion.

I went into the neighborhood City Market yesterday, like I do twice a week, to spend some of my hard-earned money on groceries.

The unbelievably snotty cashier woman rang up my groceries without so much as a "hello".

When she finished, she turned and started chatting with another cashier, not even bothering to even tell me the amount I owed.

I read the amount from the cash register and handed her the money.

She cashed me out and, without taking a break from the sip-sip with her fellow cashier, she literally dropped the change into mid-air, not even glancing at me while doing so.

As I picked the change up off the conveyor belt, I asked her what she had said to me.

She looked bewildered and said, "I say nuttin'".

Oh, I thought you said "thank-you", I replied tersely as I grabbed my groceries.

She sucked her teeth at me as I walked way.

I am sick and tired of these snotty, sour-faced bitches at City Market throwing my change at me and not saying "thank-you".

I've had it. The next time that happens I will demand my money back and they can restock the groceries that I leave at the cash regsiter.

Whoever the people are that bought City Markets, they better understand that service with a smile is not an option, it is mandatory on every transaction.

Have you ever had a problem with service at a City Market? I'd love to hear your story.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the Sea Hauler captain is the same Allen Russell who was accused of beating the Robinson couple on Cat Island because they were disturbing his drug-running operations.

He was convicted of drug dealing but was later acquitted in a highly-criticized Appeals Court ruling. Probably something like a late-night Damian Gomez-style ex-parte one judge ruling.

Russell is also the campaign manager for PLP Cat Island MP Phillip 'Brave Davis'. Davis, of course, was the law partner of both current prime minister Perry Christie and former prime minister Hubert Ingraham.

Scary huh?

Mr. Davis was also the lawyer for Samuel 'Ninety' Knowles who is currently on trial in the United States as a major drug kingpin in the Caribbean.

Sound like a bunch of crooks if you ask me. Definitely not the kind of guys you want running the country, or acting as examples for the already confused youth of our nation.

The Judicial Committee of The Privy Council has come to Nassau to hear cases for the first time ever outside of the United Kingdom.

The Committee, which is the court of final appeal for Commonwealth countries that retain it, overseas territories of the United Kingdom and Crown dependencies.

The learned justices will sit for five days hearing two days of criminal cases, two days of civil matters and one day of petitions. The four cases set down for hearing by the five Lords of Appeal are all Bahamian matters.

The committee, which normally sits in the Privy Council Chamber in Downing Street in London, England, will sit at the Court of Appeal at Claughton House in Charlotte and Shirley Streets.

The justices have come to town to clear up a few important cases which are threatened by the judicial corruption so prevelant in Bahamian courts.

The crooked rats at the Bar Association of the Bahamas act like this event is an honour to our nation. Truthfully, it is quite a shame that the Privy Council feels it necessary to stem judicial corruption in the Bahamas by hearing cases before they are referred to England, which is usually a waste of time and only necessary because one can't get an unbiased fair trial in the dysfunctional courts of The Bahamas.

Read the Bahamas News article...

There is an article in the Nassau Guardian about how Bahamian Leslie Sealy is working in the United States on Capitol Hill as office manager for freshman Senator-elect Bob Corker of Tennessee.

Three things stand out about this story.

First, isn't it interesting that Americans aren't whining about the fact that a "foreigner" has taken a job away from an American? Yet, there must be an American, in a country of over 300 million people, who could do the job that this Bahamian is doing. And how come the Bahamian, Mr Sealy, isn't being requested to "train" an American for his position?

If a foreigner is working in the Bahamas, there is usually all sorts of whining about how the "foreigner" took a job away from a Bahamian.

And, as in the case of Tribune Managing Director John Marquis, there is always whining about how the foreigner must train a Bahamian to take his place.

Second, it is ridiculous that the Nassau Guardian, a newspaper that has lost all credibility, refers to Mr Sealy's position as a "top job" on Capitol Hill. He is an office manager for a freshman Senator. Hardly a "top job", but typical of the Nassau Guardian's "island mentality".

Thirdly, it is also interesting that this Bahamian is working for a naive Senator from Tennesee, a corruption hot spot in the US at this time.

Now, I don't want to cast any aspersions on the good reputation of Bahamian Leslie Sealy, or the newly-elected Senator Corker, but we already have one corrupt Tennessee Senator, and the FBI seems to think there may be more.

FBI Focuses On Public Corruption In Tennessee
Senator Ford is just the tip of the iceberg for FBI investigations in Tennessee. Agents have their hands in several other public corruption cases.

How great would it be for a Bahamian to work for a corrupt US Senator with ties to the construction industry? What with all the "development" going on in the Bahamas, there is killing to be made if a devious US construction company could magically get all the permits needed to exploit the many construction-related opportunities in The Bahamas.

Remember, as hard as it is to admit, there are very few honest Bahamians. This is proven by our outrageous crime rate, the number of tiefin' employees and the lack of ethics and morals amongst our politcial leaders.

That being the case, if I were in the FBI I'd keep a real close eye on any construction deals coming from Tennessee.

The 2006 Boxing Day Junkanoo parade was cancelled and rescheduled for Wednesday at 8:00pm.

Had this been done for the stated reason, "possible rain", there would be no problem.

But it turns out the real reason was far more scandalous, as usual when dealing with the criminals known as the PLP government of the Bahamas.

Two of the biggest groups - favourites of the PLP government - were not ready in time. That's the real story.

Rather than having those groups risk lower points, the Junkanoo Commission lied to the public and blamed the postponement on the weather.

In other words, the groups who WERE ready on time have been essentially "punished", by allowing the deadbeat groups extra time.

Truly outrageous, and it makes a mockery of the competition.

What do you expect from a commission headed by Brendan Foulkes, whose brother is a corrupt politician and whose father made himself rich by exploiting poor black Bahamians in deals with other crooked politicians. I mean we are looking at an entire family of lying scum.

When I saw Brendan on TV, I said to my girlfriend, "that guy is lying."

It was confirmed when Basil the weatherman came on and the satellite weather image showed nary a cloud in the sky.

The Bahamas PLP government thought nothing about inconveniencing thousands of Bahamians and tourists who had planned on attending the Boxing Day Junakanoo parade.

The PLP is ruining Junkanoo. In fact, they are ruining everything good about the Bahamas, and there are only a few good things left.

A group of US-based bloggers, calling themselves "The Mob", are stepping up their calls for an inquest into the mysterious death of Daniel Smith.

Finally, someone besides BahamasB2B is demanding justice for Daniel.

In an article entitled "What Really Happened To Daniel Smith?", posted on September 21, 2006, The Bahamas' largest website questioned the mysterious events and Bahamian government corruption surrounding the death of Anna Nicole's son.

Dozens of foreigners have been robbed, raped, swindled, maimed or murdered in the Bahamas, just in the past year alone. Few, if any, of the cases were resolved and justice is almost never delivered in the corrupt courts of The Bahamas . Hopefully, these bloggers will bring some attention to this distrubing fact and Daniel's death will not remain just another "foreigner death" statistic.

You'd think Anna Nicole Smith would be more interested in finding out what really happened to her son. Perhaps her, and her lawyer/lover Howard K. Stern, have something to hide. Maybe that is why they seem so disinterested in finding out the truth behind Daniel's death.

Once again the Junkanoo Parade Management Team (PMT) have destroyed Junakanoo for hundreds of paying customers.

A recent news article reports that hundreds of Junkanoo spectators, with reserved tickets in hand, were forced to stand through most of the 2006 Boxing Day parade because their bleacher seats were filled by people who had not paid for them.

Many of the disgruntled people who were left standing felt that the bleacher seating process was, once again, very chaotic, despite Junkanoo officials receiving complaints year after year about the same problem of overselling tickets and incompetent crowd management by the marshalls.

You can blame all of this on Brendan Foulkes and his merry band of idiots. Foulkes is chairman of the PMT and he is totally incompetent. He has been in charge of this mess for several years and faces the same problems every year. Yet he is incapable of coming up with solutions to these problems year after year. What the hell does Brendan do beside live high-on-the-hog on the public purse?

Mr. Foulkes has never been in charge of any event bigger than Junkanoo, how and where would he have gotten the experience to manage such an event?

Why is he not fired, and a competent person, even if a foreigner, with experience in parade management hired? Why? Because the Foulkes family of incompetents, like the Rolles, the Wilson's and many other Bahamian-mafia families, could not survive if their members didn't have cushy government jobs to keep them afloat, while you and I pay for their incompetence.

The news article, by Inderia Saunders of the Nassau Guardian, says Mr Foulkes admitted that his group had no definite solution to the seating problem as yet. Well, muddo-sik, how many years dey gon mess dis up befo dey git it right?

Ladera Tony says her husband Ronnie was "kidnapped" when he was arrested in the US for smuggling drugs.

Mr. Tony is an accused drug dealer. Law enforcement officials, both in the US and The Bahamas, say he has been using his position as a baggage handler at the Nassau International Airport to smuggle large quantities of drugs, primarily cocaine, from the Bahamas to the United States. Police think this activity has been going on for years and that Mr. Tony and his friends have made hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars.

Here is how the arrest of Mr. Tony and his colleagues went down:

Law enforcement officials scheduled some training courses, in the US, for Bahamian baggage handlers. When the group arrived in Florida, five of them were immmediately arrested. Criminally-minded Bahamians, including corrupt attorney Paul Moss, who also protested Samuel "Ninety' Knowles's extradition, are saying the baggage handlers were "kidnapped" because they were "lured" or "tricked" into going to Florida for training excercises.

None of these criminally-minded complainers stop to think that the "allegedly" crooked baggage handlers were "tricking" their employers while smuggling thousands of pounds of cocaine into the US. Nobody seems to be concerned that the accused baggage handlers "lured" thousands of young men and women into a life of drug addiction by flooding the streets with illegal drugs.

The people protesting the "sting" operation are criminally-minded fools. Didn't the whiny, loud-mouthed Mrs Tony ever wonder how her husband could buy all the wonderful things he did, while making less than $30,000 a year as a bagagge handler? Their family was probably spending three times his salary every year, yet this woman was too dumb or too crooked to realize that there was "something wrong with this picture."

You know Ladera, there is an old saying, "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time."

Instead of complaining that your husband was "kidnapped", you ought to "hush yo mout" before you are arrested as an accomplice in your husband's illegal activity. After all, you had no problem spending the money, honey.

BTW: How appropriate that the Nassau airport was recently renamed to the Lynden Pindling International Airport, named after drug kingpin and former Prime Minister of The Bahamas, Lynden Pindling, whose dictatorial rule was plagued by criminal activity including money laundering and drug dealing on a massive scale.

In fact, Mr. Pindling was partners with Carlos Lehder, perhaps the biggest and certainly most notorious drug dealer in the history of the Caribbean. The two were so friendly that Mr. Pindling allowed Lehder to run his entire drug processing and distribution facility from Norman's Cay, a tiny island in the Exumas.

Certainly Mr. Pindling is responsible for molding the criminal-minded mentality that is now so ingrained in Bahamian society.
