Brent Symonette…”The Gestapo In The Bahamas.”

The days of Nazi Germany and the “Gestapo” I believed was over, until uncovering what Brent Symonette and his puppet Administration has done to the people in The Bahamas .

A rehearsal of his clandestine and abusive traits began a long time ago when his father Sir. Roland Theodore Symonette stifled the black settlers here in The Bahamas; refusing them equality and justice. As during his father’s tenor as Premier of The Bahamas denying democracy,  Brent  Symonette is now doing once more in The Bahamas with a speechless cabinet. There is absolutely no one in his Administration that can contest or deny him his ideologies, refute his assertions, or compel him to reveal and disclose his many contracts with Government or his actual fortune.

Mr. Symonette’s unbridled actions inside and outside government leaves much to be desired. With a majority rule in the House Assembly under the Free National Movement, Mr. Symonette’s juggernaut presence has silence everyone of his cabinet members inclusive of the Prime Minister of The Bahamas. This is the consensus of the educated masses; and that The Prime Minister, Mr. Hubert Minnis  sits inert while allowing democracy to be diminish. Diminished by the passing of legislation, entering of contracts where clear conflicts of interest exist, and allowing Mr. Symonette to decide contracts entirely on his own volition.

Even though his Father under the United Bahamian Party(UBP) made his fortune on the backs of indentured Bahamian freed slaves, the greed for power continues with his nature and select times pretending to care at all for the well being of The Bahamian Nation. Rather, he has used his wits and power to further his selfish ambitions.

Brent Symonette eased his way into politics in 1987; and as a perk five years later, by then Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham, was appointed Minister of Tourism in 1992 in the first FNM Administration. Mr. Symonette also held the position as Attorney General during the same year for a short period. He then retired from politics also that same year stating he wanted to be more active in his businesses. Take the money and RUN!!!

In years later, 1997, he emerged once more as a forerunner but did not get the nod from his party, rather William Allen. He would still end up with a post at Airport Authority and Head of the Hotel Corporation. Mr. Symonette’s connections and influence obviously was the catalysis behind obtaining that position.

During this tenor, he awarded a contract to his family to do runway repairs without consent of his board members. This was brought before the House of Assembly by Bradley Roberts in 2001. Mr. Symonette’s ‘lame duck’ excuse was that there wasn’t enough board members on the Island to make the decision and it was exigent. That matter was swept under the “Runway Pavement,”  am guessing. However, with elections fast approaching nothing could be left to chance therefore Mr. Symonette tendered his resignation on request of the then Prime Minister Mr. Hubert Ingraham immediately. Take the money and Run!!!

Despite the disgraceful scandal, Mr. Symonette was still able to capture the Montague seat in 2002, of course by his influence and overwhelming presence.

Again, in 2012, January 12, Press release: Brent Symonette to step down from front line politics after advise from wife.

However, it came after huge controversy over the contracts awarded to Hot Mix a “Road Paving Company owned by his family.”

Among other things were, he mishandle the affairs at Immigration and Naturalization Services. He controlled the issuing of passports, work permits, signed off on citizenship, Visas and issued Identity cards to thousands of foreigners. It is said to have greatly assisted the FNM party in the last General Election with foreigners that were Naturalized as Bahamians who was granted ability to vote….., and I quote.

After his reaping of those Departments he resigned once more. Take the money and RUN!!!

In a statement, MP Brent Symonette said yesterday his decision to step down as a substantive Cabinet minister had “absolutely” nothing to do with recent controversy over a contract awarded to a company tied to his family. Instead, the former financial services, trade and industry and immigration minister said the move was up for discussion between him and Prime Minister Dr Hubert Minnis for the past six months.

The situation has been shrouded in speculation as it came just two weeks after it was revealed that Bahamas Hot Mix, a company with ties to his family, was awarded a contract to upgrade runways at Lynden Pindling International Airport. Take the money and RUN!!!

However, yesterday, Mr Symonette gave insight into what led to the decision.

I told the prime minister I would not go beyond my 65th birthday and we decided it would be better to do either within the fiscal year or before the new one began, which started today (yesterday),” Mr Symonette said in an interview with The Tribune.

“So it would have been better to do it at the beginning of the fiscal year rather than wait until December when my birthday is and have a Cabinet minister leave then. I vowed that I wouldn’t be a Cabinet minister a day past my 65th birthday.”

Asked pointedly whether the resignation had anything to do with controversy over contracts, he said: “Absolutely not.”

On Sunday the government issued a brief statement, which read: “It is notified for general information that Brent Symonette has tendered his resignation as minister of financial services, trade and industry and immigration, with effect from July 1, 2019.

Mr. Brent Symonette, leaves office once again with a contract for five years among many others , with the Bahamas Post Office, for $4.5 million dollars within the next five years(5yrs). Do he seem to actually care about any Bahamian citizen? He has abandoned his constituents continually after getting what he set out to achieve on the backs of the Bahamian tax payers. The same thing his predecessor did.

Mr. Brent  Symonette is taking the money and running once more. But, have you considered what did he leaves you and every tax payer in The Bahamas to pay!? An Eight Billion Dollars in excess ($8,000,000,000.00+) deficit in a country of roughly 411, 000 people. Which accounts for each individual to pay a minimum of Nineteen Thousand Dollars in excess ($19,000.00+) approximately in taxes to stabilize our economy.

Oh well, Brent is now relaxing in his tunnel with a bag filled with the Bahamian people monies, while our Prime Minister sits speechless, as if the actions and accusation about Mr. Symonette is fictitious.’

The Free National Movement has been a product of a stem cell of victimization.

Under this new administration led by Hubert Minnis  and Mr. Symonette as the “Puppet Master” The Bahamas is now seeing the power of greed, dishonesty and blatant misuse of the Public’s Treasury and Trust.

The actions of this administration is one seen to be dictated by Mr. Brent Symonette and not that of our elected Prime Minister, Hon. Hubert Minnis. The “Gestapo” government of the former regime of Nazi Germany one may add is the reflection of this administration. Where there is no boundaries to what can be done, how it is done, who is to be accountable, and there is no recourse. This is not democracy where the people’s mouth has been shut, and their opinions do not matter. Where the majority cries foul and no watchman comes to investigate and disclose.

This is not the Government many expected, “it’s the people time”-rather each member under the leadership of Mr. Brent Symonette as “Puppet Master,” have laid in bed and cohort with his ‘Gestapo ” methods that have vandalized our Bahamian democracy.’ Take the money and RUN!!!

It is obvious that, ‘the golden rule is being applied among his cabinet. The man with the Gold makes the Rule.

Where have our democracy gone; why have our dreams of a Nation be crippled by one man’s ambitions above many that need support? This is a matter to contemplate as to whether we will allow a “Gestapo” regime in our capital. …It is a pity.’

“Bahamian Citizens & CBD Health & Wellness Medicinal Prescription Drugs.”

 

 

 

 

 

The Bahamas has finally seen relief come to its shores with the introduction of XIP4  CBD medicinal Oils. Oil treatments for Mind, Body, and Skin. With chewables, digestibles, eatibles and applications.

CBD Oil (Cannabidiol) is a naturally occurring cannabinoid, derived from hemp, that does not contain THC, and thus is non-psychoactive. Unlike marijuana, derived from the cannabis sativa plant and which does contain THC. With the passing of the Farm Bill in the United States at the end of 2018, CBD is now legal in all 50 States in America and a growing number of other foreign countries such as The Bahamas.

Nevertheless, The Bahamas is still facing a national hurdle over the minds of those whom perceive CBD as illegal, when it is not, by all legal standing and meaning of the Controlled Substances Acts in the Bahamas. In as much, in order for a product to be illegal it must stand the test of ingredients to be verified as a non medicinal agent and thus prohibited under the Act. Without the TH- the C, Cannabinoid, by itself cannot be placed on the controlled substance acts table as prohibited as related to marijuana or cannabis.  Cannabinoids, they are natural fatty tissues at the end of every nerve ending in our bodies from birth that transfers information to every part of our bodies. Therefore, when met with its natural inhibitor it increases the activity of the already dormant cannabinoids in our bodies which increases our sensors into action to protect. Protect against ailments, behavior, eating appetites or, non eating appetites.

CBD was first discovered in the 1940’s by Roger Adams, a chemistry professor at the University of Illinois. Adams separated the CBD oil from the hemp itself to study its properties and found it had many benefits.

In the 1960’s an Israeli chemist, Raphael Mechoulam took the research, further synthesizing cannabinoids —including CBD, THC and others—and describing their chemical structures for further research. Further research continued and finally, the first CBD Oil meant for therapeutic use was released by the British Pharmacopoeia.

In the next few decades, the research continued. In 1980, Dr. Mechoulam made another breakthrough in CBD history when he ran a study which showed cannabidiol could be a key factor in treating epilepsy. Mechoulam, now a professor at Hebrew University of Jerusalem, still studies cannabis this day.

What is the difference then between Hemp and Marijuana becomes the question. Today here are really two simple distinctions:

HEMP –a non psychoactive plant primarily for use in clothing, paper, bio-fuels, bio-plastics, dietary supplements, cosmetics and personal care products, and foods. Hemp is cultivated outdoors as a large crop with both male and female plants being present to foster pollination and increase seed production.

MARIJUANA — Cannabis sativa specifically cultivated to enhance its THC  content to be used for medicinal or recreational purposes. Marijuana plants are typically grown indoors, under controlled conditions, and growers remove all the male plants from the crop to prevent fertilization since fertilization lowers the plant’s THC level.

The product now being distributed by XIP4 company in the Bahamas identified as CBD Oils are ripe in results and medicinal values, with absolutely no side effects for medical patients.

 

 

“The Bahamas’ Truth of Magic Moments.”

A moment of nostalgic is the mood of the Bahamian people in regards to “its the people’s time,” where it is found that matters and situations in the capital are more pressing now than they were before the present Administration arrived into office.

The Bahamas’ Magic Moment began weeks after the 2017 General Election with arrests of outgoing politicians and actual members of parliament. With no viable opposition in Parliament the new administration moved quickly, as some people interviewed would say,  to implement their “adjusted road map” for the Bahamian people.

Moreover, the realization now is that this Government is in fact not for the people genuinely, but for dividing of the masses by discrimination, complexion, materialistic gain and religious affiliations. The collective consortium of members of the public who despises the unfortunates is the majority taken by consensus in this Administration.

With clandestine laws that are put in place now to cripple the growth of the poor and to expand the wings of the rich, have been their first endeavors since the 1960’s’ are the sentiments shared by a great number of true Bahamian Citizens as to date. Bahamians I have been told, are infuriated with the way the new government has exerted its power without consulting the public, but merely among themselves vote and agree by their majority numbers in passing new legislation and laws. A move that somewhat diminishes the true color of democracy and more so of a totalitarian regime.

With increasing curtailment of the freedom of citizens by new laws “magically appearing” over night, such as e.g., Surveillance laws that diminishes common folks privacy; identity requirement on personnel or be detained; driving without certain papers are now criminal offenses requiring lock up. The masses feel, as if they have been betrayed by a group of politicians that represented a picture that no doubt was an abstract drawing. Simply put, those things that were regarded as the incumbents plan to better the country, has but all turned to a mist.’ In the reality, it is a sorrow and cry of why, why, why…why was I so blinded by the fact that the old regime that held the citizens of The Commonwealth of The Bahamas in bondage in the 1960’s financially, morally and unlawfully is here displayed once again.

 

The New Administration led the Bahamian people to believe that work would be overflowing with their leadership, but rather they have stealthly slipped in the old farce and  fired workers at an alarming rate. The new administration said, that new means for a common wealth would ensue. That the previous government had stolen the tax monies (VAT) from its citizens made things the way they were and that they would retrieve the stolen Vat per se, and the economy will get better. However, this is just the opposite that Bahamians have experience since 2017 election finals. Although there was no monies stolen, the present administration borrowed additional money from the IMF and increased the Taxes of Vat from 7.5% to 12% without increasing minimum wages. A straddle on the backs of the Bahamian people and its labor force.

 

There is yet even a more pressing issue, a “Member of Parliament” renting to his Administration the National Public Post Office.

The Town Center Mall Building is owned by MP. Brent Symonette, Minister of Foreign Affairs , and his brother. Openly, a clear conflict of interest. But with no strong opposition to contest, this flagrant slap to Bahamians goes uncontested thoroughly.

A Department of Natural Resources would be the ideal department to oversee the wealth of all natural minerals unearth in the Bahamas territories. To make natural minerals industries accountable for payment to Bahamian Citizens. The Bahamas’ known natural resources industry is far too much to mention here, however here is a few that is worthy of thought. Pure salt, Natural oil and gas deposits, and lime stone found within The Bahamas. All the essentials for everyday living.

The Department will oversee the natural minerals that comes up out of the Bahamas. In so doing, Bahamians will be able to see a small benefit from the territory our ancestors shed blood, sweat and tears to possess. Without, the privatization in our natural resources industry will continue to see our territory depleted and ravished by foreign interest that carries away the benefits into their jurisdictions. Not beneficial to The Bahamas as this process continues to reflect. The Bahamas has one of the largest deposits of limestone, natural gas, holistic plants, and untainted “water sprouts,” flourish fishing grounds, sand to make glass, ect. The natural minerals within the Bahamas territories equated to revenue, is more than enough to contribute to our national debts that should not exist over a nation so blessed like The Bahamas. Who will be the vanguard and who will stand in the watch towers?

The Citizens of the Bahamas will not see a change in administration practices once they are in office, unless a firm stance against bad governance is adopted. Rules of responsibility and transparency are the campaign voice however they are slowly deafen by greed and eyes of opportunity. Each talk about it, but rarely get it put into action, a pause not to be desired.

Are the people of the Bahamas enjoying the pleasures of where they were planted without hardships implemented by this Administration? The answer must be no of course. The Nation of The Bahamas is becoming over populated with foreigners, and business opportunities are dwindling more and more for the native Bahamian. His opportunities are nearly to nothing, comparing what is delivered on a plate to a foreign investor. This is not the vision shown by this Administration before and during Election of 2017.

 

Where have this promise gone? The people have not seen their time and the jobs are in jeopardy due to cheap laborers of foreign origin, creating more of a provocation to say the lease. Will there be an equal opportunity sometime in the near future? Bahamians want and need to know.’

What will become of the economy of The Bahamas if continued down this pathway? Is it determined by the actions of our people or the Government solely? We are Bahamians, rise up and let your voices be heard. Only then, will a unified body stand up to what is unjustifiable and inhumane. The Bahamas can sustain itself if great minds believe in good governance.

May we find our hopes and dreams on less distant shores.

‘At Rock of Ages Funeral Chapel, The Condolences Are Real.’ — AWE Production Bahamas

In the world we find ourselves today, any day can be a time of lost, sorrow and pain for a family. At such time families either fall apart or they come together. The needed support from all members of the family are sometime obtuse and separate through different feelings of lost and pain. For losing […]

What Will The Aftermath Of The Bahamas Elections Uncover?

What will the aftermath of the 2017 General Election uncover? By the will of the people the Nation went up in flames. The Free National Movement (FNM) once again has made a strong statement by a “Landslide” victory in the 2017 National Elections winning over Thirty Five (35) parliamentary seats. It’s opposition won merely Four (4) seats, which came from the out going Government Administration the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP).

The new “Democratic National Alliance” (DNA) led by one Brandville McCartney and Chris Mortimer, felt the paws of the giants in the Arena of Bahamian Politics even more profound and leaves their organization crippled unto dissolution. Their hopes of becoming a contender in the garrison of politics in The Bahamas is all but lost as a result of bad leadership decisions made in the flares running up to the Elections. As Leader of the party (DNA), Mr. Brandville McCartney decision to join forces with FNM member Mrs. Loretta Butler-Turner, destroyed the demeanor of his supporters especially when he resigned the post shortly thereafter blaming Mrs. Turner for his decision to join her endeavors. Both Mr. McCartney and Mrs. Butler-Turner lost their contended seats ran for leaving them outside the halls of Parliament.

However, the people made choices based upon what was revealed through media and news, that the out going administration were callous; malicious to investors; less compassionate for the masses; abused the public’s trust; and were blatantly abusive with their positions as Ministers. This is from a consensus taken before elections and confirm in the results.

The Honorable Hubert Minnis, The Bahamas new Prime Minister from the Free National Movement (FNM) now has a task before him that will take an unpopular stance, but well demanded. For he must now audit certain Members of Parliament from the out going Administration which is the will of the people who voted him into office. For the Bahamian people demand that his Administration (FNM) uncover the wealth of the people stashed away in secret Bank Accounts owned by out going ministers, whether here in The Bahamas or abroad. To seize them by Court order for auditing. This would be the most immediate action of his administration to bring the issues to transparency. For it would be unfair to the masses to leave these politicians unchecked who have been greedy in their offices as if it were their own business rather than the office of the people of The Bahamas. Particular ministers who went into office with meager finances and in such a short period have placed millions in financial personal accounts, stolen from the labor on the backs of The Bahamian people.

These must be audited in every sense of the word and forfeiture proceedings initiated where there is found that the accumulation of wealth were from improper dealings. The lack of evidence that the wealth was made from personal legal business, or inherited, transfer to them and for what measure, the wealth should be forfeited to the ministry of social services for the people it was stolen from.

Our Country has taken a shift in how the dynamics of politics operate, and there is no more Red and Yellow, but what is best for Government. This was borne out of the fact that even the out going Prime Minister, Honorable Perry Gladstone Christie, lost his seat that he held since 1977 in the Centerville Constituency, Nassau Bahamas. Along with him were other Ministers who condoned is inappropriate actions while in office by their silence, which were the majority of his delegation. In the aftermath of the elections his delegation of ministers won merely Four (4) seats, which I may add two were contested and the entire delegation has since dissolved (PLP) by resignation and shamefulness. There is no opposition Government in The Bahamas as it stands today.The progressive Liberal Party has made history in this election since the founding of the party in 1967 by leadership of Sir. Lyden Oscar Pindling.

Dear Prime Minister, Honorable Hubert Minnis, though many disbelieved in your ability to govern you have proved your tenacity vividly. Most if not all Bahamians believe in you to make a difference in The Bahamas. It is your hour.

We head into a new dimension of ruling and governing, and may the Almighty guide the hands and minds of them that are placed in charge of the “Orphans” wealth. May The Bahamas regain its face of hospitality, of good character in business and that the spirit of its people join as one once more. As it was in the beginning so shall it be in the end. So what will the aftermath uncover…’

When do you find desperate politics other than when a Political Party has dropped the ball completely. Do a Party even knows when it has dropped the ball, other than when the people appears disorientated which are the only time society acknowledges.

The Bahamas is going through a series of changes and even the weather confirms this. But actually, the change is happening Globally with The Bahamas smack in the middle of the trend’s passage.

Desperate Politics is a consequence of negligence when dealing with the public’s interest.

In this year’s 2017 General Election our most competent “Opposition” political parties have faltered in the eyes of society. For instance,

1). In choosing a new leader, the Free National Movement(FNM), after being obliterated in Election 2012, then Leader Hubert A. Ingram disgracefully disappeared from politics leaving his disorientated party awed.

Picking up the pieces was Dr. Hubert Minnis who immediately began to throw accusations against the Christie Administration and its handling of the country’s affair. Even though there were issues that Dr. Minnis attacked to shed light on the Christie Administration, Dr. Minnis offered nothing remedial. Consequently, Chairman of the (PLP) Christie Administration, Mr. Bradley Roberts, continuosly refuted Dr. Minnis’s accusations with proofs. This alone showed Dr. Minnis’s not thoughtout approach to the political arena. Rather, Dr. Minnis’s attempt at politics have all but deminished his successful chances at being the chosen Opposition Leader when he placed forward no real plans for a ‘Better Bahamas.’ Even more damaging is the fact that he could not, and have not unified his party The Free National Movement.’

Disgruntled FNM members told our Head of State, Her Excellency Lady Marguerita Pindling, in their letter that, like a Prime Minister, an Opposition Leader must enjoy the confidence of his or her colleagues in the House of Assembly.

“That being the case, we respectfully ask you to revoke the appointment of Dr Hubert Minnis as leader of the opposition in accordance with Article 82 (4) of our Constitution,” the letter stated.

The group added that The Bahamas needs an effective and dutiful opposition that will work to develop a clear vision for the future, and urged the Governor General to accept their recommendation for a new leader.

“…In the interest of ensuring a seamless transition, our caucus has also voted to undertake its work in Parliament under the leadership of Loretta Butler-Turner.”

A stunned Minnis took to the floor immediately after the letter was read.

He described the development as “a subversion of democracy”, charging that it all stemmed from his victory in the party’s internal elections at its annual convention back in July.

“These – as I would call them – rebels do not believe in democracy and have continued to subvert the process of democracy.”

Minnis, who admitted that he was saddened by the move was, however, adamant that democracy would prevail.

“The Bahamian people will continue to fight for democracy. They will not allow subversion to occur, nor will their democracy to be played with,” he said.

At the center of concern for power also was Mrs. Loretta Butler-Turner whom have taken the Leadership role by way of an “incompetency request” approved by The Governor General which was requested by members of the (FNM) and Mrs. Turner.

Governor General Her Excellency Dame Marguerite Pindling presents the Hon. Loretta Butler-Turner with the Instrument of Appointment as the Leader of Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition during a ceremony at Government House, Sunday, December 11, 2016.

The Bahamas — Governor General Her Excellency Dame Marguerite Pindling presented the Hon. Loretta Butler-Turner with the Instrument of Appointment as the Leader of Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition during a ceremony at Government House, Sunday, December 11, 2016.

During the ceremony attended by several Parliamentary colleagues, family, friends and other well-wishers, Mrs. Butler-Turner said, “I note that my appointment as the first woman to serve as Leader of the Opposition (in The Bahamas) is of historic importance.”

She thanked her Parliamentary colleagues for placing their trust and confidence in her as the new Leader of the Opposition:

“I pledge an unwavering commitment to collegiality and collaboration. Democracy is not about the mood of a single individual; it is about cooperation in the pursuit of the common good.”

The Hon. Dr. Hubert Minnis, Leader of the Free National Movement (FNM) and former Leader of the Official Opposition was removed as Leader of the Opposition after a vote of no confidence by seven of the Party’s 10 Members of Parliament on Wednesday, December 7.

A petition signed by the majority of FNM Members of Parliament stipulated that Dr. Minnis should be replaced by Mrs. Butler-Turner. The move was approved by the Governor General.

Mrs. Butler-Turner explained that she and her colleagues are convinced that there needs to be a new direction for the country.

“Today is about the collective judgement and the sincere beliefs of the majority of the duly elected representatives opposed to the Government of the day.

“We have acted in accord with The Bahamas’ Constitution and in accord with Parliamentary Democracy. We have acted in accord with our consciences, as have others in this country who have also acted similarly.”

Mrs. Butler-Turner said, “On behalf of my colleagues, we pledge our commitment to serve with integrity as Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition. We pledge ourselves to the common good of The Commonwealth of The Bahamas; we rely on the wisdom of the Bahamian people.” id.

Thereafter achieving her goals of dividing her party, she entered into a clandestine agreement with “Democratic National Alliance(DNA) Leader, Mr. Branville McCartney to further her endeavors to defeat the (PLP) Christie Administration and hopefully advance to becoming Prime Minister. In Parliament Loretta Butler-Turner announced at a press conference Monday December 12, 2016, that Democratic National Alliance Leader Branville McCartney had been appointed leader of opposition business in the Senate.

The announcement came in the House of Assembly’s Minority Room. Mrs Butler-Turner, the Free National Movement’s (FNM) MP for Long Island, was flanked by Mr McCartney, DNA Deputy Leader Chris Mortimer and several FNM MPs.

Mrs Butler-Turner said the move was evidence that her team was willing to put the Bahamian people first to move forward to defeat the governing Progressive Liberal Party.

Mrs Butler-Turner said she and the six FNM MPs who support her have not joined the DNA, but are working together for a “common good.”

The FNM’s four senators resigned their posts as well after seven FNM MPs wrote to Governor General Dame Marguerite Pindling expressing no confidence in FNM Leader Dr Hubert Minnis. The group asked that Mrs Butler-Turner be appointed leader of the Official Opposition instead.

This was foiled by the fact that both Mr. McCartney and Mrs.Turner, both with their egotistical bahaviour many say, divided their chances totally at any chances to have a strong opposition or new Government. The actions that Mrs. Loretta Butler-Turner took which divided the Free National Movement(FNM) Political Party; and Branville McCartney’s Democratic National Alliance(DNA) Political Party’s spontaneous move to have a collective joint force party, that has failed miserably; and interestingly, his again resignation from representing the FNM in the senate as appointed by Opposition Leader Mrs. Loretta Butler-Turner, shamefully will forever be remembered as an act of “Desperate Politics.”

“LEADER of the Democratic National Alliance (DNA) Branville McCartney has resigned as Leader of Opposition business in the Senate, effective immediately.

Mr McCartney told The Tribune at a press conference that Loretta Butler-Turner, who appointed him, has sowed seeds of confusion and the DNA must disassociate itself from her antics.

In a statement, Mr McCartney said: “Every decision I have made since entering frontline politics has not been made lightly. Whether it was to leave the FNM, to lead the DNA or most recently, to accept the post as leader of opposition business in the Senate, I have carefully and prayerfully considered my moves as a public figure.

“It was no different when accepting the appointment as leader of Opposition business in the Senate. I accepted with the understanding that the Democratic National Alliance was separate and apart from any other opposition force, but would lend its voice, ideas and strength in official opposition to this failed Christie administration.

“Let the record reflect that when the electorate called for a more pragmatic opposition, the DNA was the first and only party to answer.

“However, today I informed Her Excellency the Governor General that I am resigning my Senate post with immediate effect.

“The leader of the official opposition has, unfortunately, only sown seeds of confusion since assuming her post, bringing no real leadership or focused ideas to the fore.” id.

In any event however, the Bahamian people have not been “jet lagged” from these political flights taken on behalf of all three major parties, but the minds of the people will prove good landing gears. Simply because the people has recognized and understands the true measures of each “Desperate Politician.”

“Desperate Politics.”

‘Sir. Lynden Pindling’s Politicology of The Bahamas.’

The Bahamas was orchestrated as a “Commonwealth,” indicating that the wealth of the industries, natural resources, and assets be commonly shared among the inhabitants of the chain of islands which comprises The Bahamas. Obviously, the transitional environment have spawn new beasts in the field of Politics. Nothing is common among men anymore. The hopes and the dreams of being in a free striving society, with government transparent and professionalism prevalent, assistance for any citizen in determined dire needs, education free and health care have all but become a mirage. What was to be a society with the ability to do as they will, independent of influences foreign, now have become once more subservient.

In recent years the Bahamas has seen tremendous changes in Administrations all of which utilized their offices for financial gains, is the thought position of most Bahamian people. Nevertheless, each had used what I call “Pindling Politicology” in gaining their respective offices. Having gained their offices the ministers then lost focus on the theory that they were selected to accommodate the citizens that elected them to office.’

Pindling’s politicology that led us to independence is the foundation of our Nation. Though many prodigies have tried to imitate Sir. Lynden, but can not replicate his tenacious and accepting personality, rather they botched themselves in controversy.

The miraculous mannerism in which Sir. Lynden used to invite patrons to the Bahamas; got them to invest in the Bahamas; and convinced them to purchase interest in the Bahamas through investment opportunities beneficial to the commonwealth is a curriculum many have tried miserably to reestablish. However, who is listening but those who remembers the first principles of Sir. Lynden’s legacy which is the people first then seek yours. We live in a real world and it can not be said that any candidate who attains office would not seek out to establish financial stability within his or her working capacity. This is realistic and anyone would agree. Those who differ may be already financially stable, but the commoner still struggles for an opportunity which he or she sees the political arena as a place for perks, glamour and financial gain if appointed to office. Interestingly though, before office their cries were, look what they’re doing with the people money.’

Notwithstanding that Sir. Lynden was called up to the Commission of Inquiry on suspected involvement in racketeering within his capacity as Prime Minister, he never was found guilty on any of the accusations alleged by the one and only Hubert Alexander Ingram and company to the United States Intelligence Agencies.

As it stands now today, every political administration that have evolved did so from within the progressive liberal party or, from members who left disappointed.

Mr. Branville McCartney is also a by-product of both parties. He resigned from the FNM (Free National Movement) disgruntle because he could not do as (he) saw fit while appointed Minister of Immigration under Hubert Ingram’s Administration thereafter the 2007 elections. Not to say the least about him, a great majority had seen the resignation as though he stood as a man and not a puppet of his party’s leader, Mr. Ingram.

These members have tried desperately nothing less, to disclaim that Sir. Lynden’s methods in creating a society with opportunities were a genius with honest intentions towards the masses. Interestingly, they get lost in the fray of diplomacy and contingency plannings are absent in their decision making process’. Therefore, they are left scalded with embarrassment; seen as an abuse of trust politician; and a show of personal intent to gain financial assets. Wherefore, in the eyes of the public they are as merely opportunists to seize power for their own benefits.

It is known or at least suppose to be known that, governance is to provide humanitarian assistance, where this is absent, it is therefore mainly an opportunity to seize power.

What Sir. Lynden did was that he made sure that the “Nation” endured a season of prosperity by allowing the citizens of The Bahamas to create their own dreams by the opportunities made available. Those who took advantage of the season has subsequently made the Bahamas what it is today. However, it is not as Sir. Lynden had envisioned now as a result of the paper soldiers now holding office for their own amusement.

No more are the opportunities for Bahamians first, only that they exist. Nor are the laws incorporated into our constitution where it protects The Bahamas from foreign political aggression through financial influences. Consequently, monetary bribes destroys the decent at heart who first had the right intent to do good by the people.

Under the Progressive Liberal Party’s dogma of Sir. Lynden, though there arose times when his actions were put on world stage, Sir. Lynden stood as a man not as a puppet and his administration was firmly behind him.

Not as you see today happening within the political parties. Who told Dr. Hubert Minnis, previous Leader of the opposition to allow Mr. Andre Rollins to join the FNM (Free National Movement)? Many saw this as a bad decision. The disarray of the Party (FNM) now speaks volumes about Dr. Rollins.

Rollins intent was mainly to cause disruption within that party, as he attempted to do in the party that recognized him as a potential, the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP). Rollins many say is still seeking his own identity and his charisma to politics is like a “bar room whino” that speaks his mind not conscious of who is listening or who it offends. Some say he still carries a gift to the political arena that keeps the fire under the feet of some politicians. But is he loyal to any one party, or just to his endeavors, this is yet to be transparent.

Truth be told though, the political situation here in the Bahamas does need, changes that would relatively hold a politician to the stern and make them liable for their offices that mandates incurring penalties.

Maybe if Sir. Lynden had placed such liability on ministers during his approximately 27 years at the helm of government, things would not be as it is today where politicians enter the political system with merely funds to cover their living expenses but leaves office with millions of dollars. Politicians now has taken what was learnt from Sir. Lynden’s politicology of politics in The Bahamas applications and ran in the opposite direction from the people clutching the government’s pouch allotted [by the people.].

Effecting these obligations of liability upon politicians I believe will sift out the real potentials from those who just want a title and opportunity to seize diplomatic powers. An opportunity that many have come to government to achieve in spite of the fact that they too lived once under a system that was inadequate which called for the change.

The Bahamas has came through the ages by and through the dreams and aspirations of Sir. Lynden Oscar Pindling, who had undergone pains to bring Bahamian minorities to a majority rule. A power placed in the hands of the people knowingly that that power were in the hands who could have changed his ideals for our country. But for 27 years the people of the Bahamas saw his ideals most important to the stability of our economy and livelihood among our neighbors. History of Sir. Lynden’s majority rule struggles. From this point it should have been clear what the Bahamas stood for and what it should be striving to attain.

Which party has Sir. Lynden’s theory of politicology in The Bahamas is readily seen though their party may be under flames consequent of an unrelenting leader who consensus say should step aside.

Whether any party will ever reestablish what Sir. Lynden did with the Bahamas as a whole may never be achieved through being politically incorrectly stubborn, but with patriotism…it’s possible.’

The Bahamas will again endure prosperity when it goes back to basics and apply the right dogma of the first Progressive Liberal Party’s mantra for which it stood under Sir. Lynden’s Politicology of The Bahamas governance.

The Truth In The Matters Of Bahamian Politics.’

As a writer, the truth in the matter of Bahamian politics is that there is too much cloak and dagger episodes.

In every Administration that has led this country and those who aspired to gain leadership, there have been controversial situations surrounding them while in political foray. Nonetheless, each is just a human being with added potentials to fail while on world stage…little do they know. But the ailments are not irreparable seeing that this year 2017 is election and the power is in the hands of the people once more to demand satisfaction guaranteed.

The Bahamas has enjoyed over 43 years of freedom being independent so to speak. Politics have been orchestrated in the Bahamas like Hollywood have their red carpet event. Like the premiering of a new movie coming to the big screens. Most times those movies are never aired on the big screen (world stage).

A country such as the Bahamas, which has existed peacefully until recently, should have more governance with professionalism towards caring for the Nation and the interest of its people. Shamefully we have seen the government’s holdings of the people become game to some politicians. While there is still rural areas in the Capital that leaves much to be desired seeing there is sufficient for all within its borders. Lofty mansion have sprung up like wild fire and offshore accounts increased reflecting Bahamian clients.

The people says no, not this time, not this time will we be mislead into believing in hologram initiatives, or unrealistic promises; and a “hodge podge” of different ‘we can do this to improve;’ nor will the people entertain those members of the political arena who may have become non-responsive to the will of the people to step aside but refuses. As a vicegerent in the political war to lead the people to prosperity, this alone should be your comfort in letting go. New energy is not bad, but it do calls for new wiring. Such as now, the people of the Bahamas is saying we need fresh air! We need men who can bring fresh thoroughly examined plans with contingency safety caps, plans that are workable and durable. Not ideas. Every man and woman on planet earth has an idea. However, to cut a long story short, here is my synopsis of ‘The Truth in the Matter of Bahamian Politics.’

A). The Prime Minister of The Bahamas, Rt. Hon. Perry G. Christie, the “Progressive Liberal Party Leader (PLP), is under siege by members of the public for his botched financial deals, indecisiveness, his comeliness when he should be more resolved and of course his age also.

As the leader that carry’s the Sunlight of Gold as a symbol of prosperity, having believed in this should allow the will of the people and be an advisory to the party analyz has said. Allowing the party members to select if so they choose, another leader whom they feel may be more inclining towards the people. After all, isn’t it the principles of leadership to know when the chips are against you, and therefore knowledge reflects wisdom to know the outcome. The Commonwealth of The Bahamas applaud your works; your achievements and any and all other things that can readily be attributed to your tenor as Prime Minister, but if you are to remain an honest civilian you should without delay, abide by the will of your Party (PLP) and that of the people.

B) The Free National Movement, known as the “World Wrestling Federation,” every time their party members meet, and even when they are adjourned there could be a match is in ‘tattered ruins as a unified party.’

Mr. Hubert Ingram, previous leader of the party is no longer wanted because of his shameful resignation from politics when he lost the election in 2012. He abandoned his constituency. The Free National Movement has its wows that are now bleeding at the seams. The party is between a rock and a hard place. Dr. Minnis, the party’s previous leader, who was elected under disagreement from others within his same party is no longer the party’s leader.

Loretta Butler-Turner, Dr. Minnis’s his rival, pushed for his resignation willingly and or unwillingly to allow her leadership powers over the (FNM) party. She eventually did by requesting such approval from the Governor General, Lady Pindling. Legal minds says that the transition made by Mrs. Turner, may be unconstitutional however. Nonetheless, she now supposedly leads the (FNM) party.

But, imagine a woman who strikes another member of the House of Assembly to the face running the country.

‘Ah, Mrs. Prime Minister crime has rose last week by a whopping 27% what should your forces do to contain this?….She looks away and says while turning slowly, if you find them, shoot first ask questions later. Nah go!

The Bahamas is not ready for Ms. Turner as Prime Minister. Neither through consensus ‘grapevine’ is Dr. Hubert Minnis. His tactics towards politics, which should be viewed as a job to oversee humanitarian aid, is nothing more than he say, she say dialogue. He has no agenda that is solidified by his party as the hopes and dreams of a better Bahamas. Rather than preparing his affront on a tangled administration Dr. Minnis has to find strategies to affront members in defense in his own party. This has totally engulf his clear studying and proof reading of the materials he threw at the media. As a Prime Minister, most say not this term.

C) The Democratic National Alliance (DNA) has aspirations and most is encouraged by the new younger followers who are only ‘vineyard pickers.’ On the other hand, Mr. Branville McCartney, Leader of the DNA has produced little if any at all real deal holly field knock out plan for saving the Nation.’ The mere voice of the people chanting we had enough of these two mentioned Administrations rings loud . Give someone else a chance to hit the cookie Jars! This is not enough for a cure to what affects and has been a deadly tumor for decades. Which are politicians work being unchecked and oaths violated and not enforced upon them with real consequences. Therefore, it is to most unforeseen that under the leadership of Mr. McCartney, without more as it stands today, they will march to the noise but settle in despair. The DNA is out experience in many aspects and their front runners are not engaging society enough to attest that they are capable of becoming the difference. Admittedly, many see them as not.

The real consequences of choosing a government is not readily transparent, and as an aspiring writer I must admit the same, but prudence teaches us to know what to digest. Every new food might not be tasty at first, and you have to acquire the taste. Responsibility lies in the hands of who was put in charge. Therefore, let the one in charge fix the problems where they exist. Just the way some approaches the well being of The Bahamas.

But truth be told, it is the “Truth in the Matter of Bahamian Politics.”
