Photo of The WeekCONFUSION INDEED: the facsimile of the National Review page of the Nassau Guardian. The Guardian even had an editorial on the same issue last week. The Tribune had its own version. The Government when it talks says that its doing a great job. Well we think not. But then again Prime Minister Hubert Minnis is a genius and we are all fools. Our photo of the week of the National Review of The Nassau Guardian describing on Wednesday 23rd October 2019, the decision to change command at the Royal Bahamas Defence Force in mid hurricane relief as a wave of confusion.

Comment of the week
THE UNITED STATES AMBASSADOR COMMITS AN ERROR
It is interesting how American diplomacy plays out these days. It has always been a diplomacy by threat. Whether the country is big or small, the US acts like a bully in its diplomacy. You do this or else. They write reports that are often biased and inaccurate saying that they are monitoring one performance or the next but always implicit is the threat of some kind.
The most used threat against small countries like The Bahamas is to stop you from being able to travel to their country. Their decisions are subjective, ideological and well literally it seems as if the officer who decides wakes up on the wrong side of the bed, then your visa is gone.
There is a double threat here in The Bahamas where there is a pre-clearance facility that allows Americans to clear here in Nassau before they land in America. Bahamians see this as a plus to them and are terrified that it will be taken away from the country.
The fact that the U S has a military facility here in The Bahamas that is on sovereign territory and The Bahamas could order them out is of no consequence to the US because they know that effectively they are here as long as they want to be here. No Bahamian government had the balls to throw them out,
So last week, the United States Ambassador Hershel Walker, who says that he is a friend of The Bahamas went and intervened in a purely domestic matter, the governance issues as it relates to the city of Freeport. He claimed that this was some kind of threat to American businessmen and issued talking points for the FNM and the Grand Bahama Port Authority, the latter of whose principals are drowning in debt and inaction and are unable to carry out their responsibilities in Grand Bahama.
The Prime Minister said on 21 October 2026 in the Grand Bahama Shipyard that change must come.
The US Ambassador claimed in an Op Ed on 22 October 2026 in The Tribune, this is a threat ot American business interests and made demands of the government.
Lynden Pindling would have simply ignored this rank interference in the internal affairs of The Bahamas.

Editorial
---------- On 21 October 2026, Wednesday evening at the Grand Bahama Shipyard, Prime Minister the Hon. Philip Davis set out five assurances on the future of Grand Bahama. 1. Change will be lawful. It will come through Parliament and the other legal steps required, after public consultation. 2. Nothing will be done retrospectively. Vested rights, contracts and the protection of investments will be properly addressed. 3. Licence holders’ lawful rights will be identified, recorded and respected. Licence holders will have a full say in how any change is made. 4. Investors will have certainty. The law will be clear and published, with transparent decisions and access to lawful procedures for everyone. 5. The transition will be orderly. Services will continue, with responsibilities, staff, funding and systems in place before any function moves. The skills of Port Authority staff, many of them Grand Bahamians, will be needed. In the Prime Minister’s words: “Whether we change is settled. How we change is yours to shape.” Read the Green Paper, Grand Bahama: A Framework for Stability and Growth, at www.gbframework.com. Public consultation opens on 1 November and runs to 30 April 2027. Have your say. The following statement was issued by the Chairman of the Progressive Liberal Party following the Prime Minister’s address on the future of Freeport, Grand Bahama: 21 October 2026 Tonight, at the Grand Bahama Shipyard in Freeport, the Prime Minister, the Hon. Philip Davis KC MP, set out a new framework for Grand Bahama. The Progressive Liberal Party stands fully behind him. At the heart of his address was one question: who governs Grand Bahama, and in whose interest? It is the question on which this party was founded. The PLP was founded on 23 November 1953 by William Cartwright, Cyril Stevenson and Henry Milton Taylor. Their purpose was to end minority rule and give the Bahamian majority a voice in their own government. In 1967 the PLP led the country to majority rule. In 1973 it led The Bahamas to independence. The Hawksbill Creek Agreement comes from the world our founders set out to change. It was signed in 1955 by a colonial government, before Bahamian women had the vote and before majority rule. More than seventy years later, its terms still shape how the Port Area is governed. On Grand Bahama, the work of majority rule and independence is unfinished. Tonight the Prime Minister took it up. The framework he set out would make public authority on Grand Bahama answer to the Bahamian people, through the Government they elect. Every resident would be governed to one standard, wherever they live. In his words, “Now is the time to finish the work that independence began.” This is the work and mission of the PLP. In our Blueprint for Progress, we told the country that Grand Bahama had waited too long. We promised a Regulatory Roadmap for Freeport and a Grand Bahama Development Policy. On 12 May, the Bahamian people renewed our mandate. Tonight the Government began to keep that promise. The Green Paper, Grand Bahama: A Framework for Stability and Growth, is online at www.gbframework.com. It proposes a Grand Bahama Development Council, a structured legal review of the Hawksbill Creek Agreement directed by the Attorney General, and a Grand Bahama Development Act. Formal consultation opens on 1 November and runs to 30 April 2027. The PLP honours the people who built Freeport and the families who have stood by it through every storm. Change will come lawfully, through Parliament, and rights lawfully held will be respected. The Prime Minister wants a settlement that residents, licensees, investors and the Port Authority can all live with. This party shares that aim. We call on every member of the PLP, and every Bahamian of every party or none, to read the Green Paper and take part in the consultation. The Government has committed to read every response. Our founders set out in 1953 to put the governing of The Bahamas in Bahamian hands. That is still our purpose. On Grand Bahama, we intend to see it through. This is the work and mission of the PLP. Fred Mitchell MP Chairman, Progressive Liberal Party Fred Mitchell and Andre Rollins in the House of Assembly. 21 October 2026. Photo by Steve Taylor Long Island MP Andre Rollins was trying to sully the name of PLP attorneys general about cases settled out of court. He claimed in the House of Assembly on 21 October 2026 that millions of dollars were paid out by the government of The Bahamas to high profile individuals without recourse to the courts. By high-profile individuals, he meant, PLPs were fixed up by a PLP Attorney General. This is false. What we know is that there were several high-profile cases in which PLP former parliamentarians were charged in the courts by the Free National Movement in show trials, and the cases failed, and the courts condemned the prosecutions. There was no need to go to court because the courts had already pronounced on the matter and it was simply a matter of how much the state had to pay. The settlements were paid in accordance with known legal principals. Fred Mitchell interrupted Mr. Rollins and told him that the cases were settled by the Attorney General who has an independent discretion to do so and who cannot be directed by any other entity. The FNM has a convenient memory when it come to their actors who were engaged in malicious prosecutions. Shame on them. The following observance was published in a voice note by Fred Mitchell, Chairman of the PLP and MP for Fox Hill on Friday 23 October 2026 on the passing of the late Neville Albury of Chippingham: I recently learned that one of my father’s last contemporaries, Neville Albury died, He was 97 years old. I express publicly my condolences on the passing to his daughters and son. I mention this, because while on assignment in Boston, one of the Foreign Service officers, Casey Sands indicated that he’d grown up in Chippingham, and my reflection and reaction was that this was a real neighbourhood where all the families knew each other. My mother ended up, because her mother had passed away, on her return from New York, where she was at school, to live with my grand aunt Olive in Chippingham. She joined the Holy Spirit Anglican church, which much like Saint Margaret’s in Kemp Road was the centre of cultural life. Neville Albury lived in Chippingham. My godmother Setella Cox nee Dillet, lived down the street and Neville and his wife Barbara lived across the street from Setella, and this was in walking distance of Holy Spirit where my mother and father worshipped, and my mother was one of the organists, Keith Archer, Dolores Archer, the Darlings, the Grangers, the Symonettes, the Campbells, the Currys, the Hannas, the Bastians and Anthony Bostwick were all well-known people and families who lived there. The integrity of the neighbourhood remains today as part of Sebass Bastian’s Fort Charlotte constituency. Neville Albury will be buried from Zion Baptist church on Sunday 1 November 2026. I remember the pure joy in his household, when his one son was born, and it was a joy to run into him as he worked around the funeral homes in his later years. I remember him putting the roof extension on our home in Collins Avenue, when I was a teenager. Rest in peace, Neville Albury, end of an era. In response to the statement by the Prime Minister Philip Davis given on 21 October 2026 about Freeport, the Leader of the Opposition Michael Pintard told the country that the Prime Minister was gaslighting the people of Grand Bahama. Here is the definition of the word: the practice of psychologically manipulating someone into questioning their own sanity, memory, or powers of reasoning. Now truth be told the only one who is gaslighting the people of Grand Bahama is Michael Pintard. He is trying to take the people of Grand Bahama for fools. Here you have a broke company in the Grand Bahama Port Authority, with its owners having not a clue about how to take the company into fulfilling its obligations and it’s there for all to see. The roads are falling apart. They have sold off every asset and yet they want to cling to the power of licensing in the face of these obvious issues in the city of Freeport. He wants people in Grand Bahama to doubt what they are seeing before their very eyes. No Michal Pintard, the only one gaslighting is you. Michael Pintard is a dead man walking. He is the only one who doesn’t know it. He claimed to the press that he was excited about the fact that there is a conclave to be held by his party over this weekend for the FNM to determine why they lost in the last general election and two bye-elections before that. The reason is clear. Michael Pintard was the reason and if they want to go down that road again, they are welcome to him. So as they say in the PLP : cut ass is coming.

US Ambassador Puts Thumb on the Scale
FELIX SANDS WRITES FROM GRAND BAHAMA
Herschel Walker, United States Ambassador was sent to the Bahamas as an Envoy of the Trump Administration. He is not a Viceroy. King Charles III is The Sovereign King of the Bahamas; in his absence, Dame Cynthia Pratt sits as Governor General. We attained Independence in 1973; and, we are a part of the British Commonwealth. Our constitution is our roadmap for governance.
On Wednesday, October 21st, Prime Minister Philip Brave Davis gave a landmark speech titled
Grand Bahama, A Frame Work for Stability and Growth using the Grand Bahama Shipyard as a backdrop. The shipyard sits on the western side of Hawksbill Creek at Freeport Harbor.
At the end of November 2026, Grand Bahama Shipyard would have invested $365 million in two new dry docks and other equipment. These are the largest floating docks in the world and is jointly owned by MSC and Carnival Cruise Lines.
The Optics of this 70-minute speech should have telegraph that the shipping industry has no difficulties with the Davis Administration, and, by extension, having confidence in the government of the Bahamas.
Prime Minister Davis is Kings Council of some vintage at the bar. So, he was careful in his speech to say that change must come, but must come lawfully by way of the rule of law; he further stated that standing still and stagnation in the city of Freeport were not options for Grand Bahama. A period of public consultation will take place laying out the plan way forward. The public consultation on the green paper will commence November 1st, 2026 until April 2027.
The Grand Bahama Port Authority gave a considered and measured statement saying they will have to review the full text and then make a public statement: that was the appropriate and considered response.
The Leader of the Opposition, Michael Pintard, true to form, gave a cloudy response on the one hand; This and then, on the other hand,That and This. He is conflicted because he has two masters to serve: MP for the people of Marco City Grand Bahama, and Special Interest.
Mr. ‘word salad’ is too smart for his own good.
Mr. Herschel Walker, Ambassador to the Bahamas from the US gave a statement that a Viceroy in charge of a district or state would make. Putting his thumb on the scale even before consultations began by the people who would be impacted. His public intervention in our domestic affairs was insulting and out of order for an ambassador.
Bimini, Grand Bahama, and Abaco are all islands in close proximity East of thr South Florida coast. We are allies, we are family, and we are friends, nevertheless, we are an independent Bahamas.
What could be the reason for this outlandish outburst? Weighing in even before the Grand Bahama Port Authority responded. Could it be he was a lobbying for something else? Like Bahama Rock, digging an 80 ft. hole on the old Bahamas Cement site at the back of Hepburn Town, Eight Mile Rock?
Excellency Herschel Walker, dredging at the Hepburn Town site would put the lives of the indigenous families of the area at risk. During the passage of a hurricane, families like the Hepburns, Bartletts, Russell’s Martin’s and Jones’ and Wildgoose’s are just some of the families whose lives could be put at risk. We know first hand the damage flood waters can do to communities.
On the Pinders Point side of the Freeport
Harbour, we have families like the Pinders, Lewis’, Laings, Grants and Russell’s. All would be impacted by severe weather conditions; all because a company wants to export aggregate to United States for construction.
Your Excellency Walker, the government of the Bahamas exists for peace, order, governance, and protection of its people. These Isles called the Bahamas are not for profit. We truly believe people are more important than profit. Please allow us the right of self-determination in our domestic affairs.
Long Live King Charles III, King of the Bahamas.
When Bondage Becomes Familiar
ABAGAIL CARTWRIGHT OF DEAN’S BLUE HOLE
The worst type of bondage is not knowing you are in bondage.
Bob Marley urged us to “emancipate yourselves from mental slavery.” I recently listened to a lecture by Dr. Ralph Gonsalves, former Prime Minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, where he discussed reparations, and it reminded me that political independence does not automatically free the mind.
The response to Prime Minister Davis’s Grand Bahama address last week raises a troubling question: have we achieved independence without freeing ourselves from a colonial mindset?
Freeport is not a failed city. It knows prosperity. But past success cannot excuse arrangements that no longer deliver enough opportunity. A father who recognizes that one child needs greater attention does not abandon him; he intervenes.
Prime Minister Davis intervened.
Davis’s speech was progressive. Its promise lies in clearer authority, public accountability, and incentives reaching beyond Freeport. Properly implemented, those changes could reduce uncertainty and widen economic opportunity.
In response, Michael Pintard wants accountability from both government and the Port Authority. Fair enough. But what specific reforms will he support? Will he ever stand on the side of his constituents in Marco City?
Former GB Port Authority executive, Dillon Knowles, fears damage to investor confidence.
Other critics fear delayed investment, disruption of existing contractual rights and concessions becoming subject to government discretion. Those concerns are legitimate and deserve answers, but Davis has promised lawful reform and protection of lawful rights; consultation must test those assurances.
Could these criticisms reflect a political version of Stockholm syndrome—defending a familiar system that no longer works while viewing proposed change as the greater threat? When the prospect of reform provokes more outrage than years of unmet potential, we must ask whether familiarity has become a form of bondage.
The Hawksbill Creek Agreement’s time has come and gone.
When consultations open on November 1, Grand Bahamians should demand enforceable protections, measurable benefits and a meaningful, robust voice.
Will we protect familiar arrangements, or secure greater opportunity for the next generation?
The next generation deserves to inherit Freeport’s potential, not our fear of setting it free.
-Abigail Cartwright

A Note on Facebook from Ryan Munnings: Honored to be in the precincts of the House of Assembly alongside some of my fellow political colleagues for the Youth in Parliament sitting. It’s imperative that we not only have a seat at the table, but that we have a voice, a vision, and a vote in shaping the future of The Bahamas. The future is not tomorrow it’s now, and today is a testament that young people are ready to lead and are leading. #YouthInParliament #Bahamas #YouthEmpowerment #Leadership #pavingthewayforothers Ginger And Fred In The House 21 October 2026 Facebook: The funeral of the late broadcaster Stephen McKinney at St Francis Xavier Cathedral in Nassau with the Williams’ sisters Elaine, Alberta and Veronica.
