THE FNM ENGAGED IN ACTS OF DISHONESTY

The Free National Movement is pretending and acting like there is some big national crisis involved at the moment in The Bahamas. There is none.  A policeman was indicted in the United States. There is nothing in that.  The indictment might not be worth the paper it’s written on.  The American justice system is riddled […]

WHAT THE INDICTMENT SHOWS ABOUT U.S. ROLE IN DRUGS

POLICE COMMISSIONER RESIGNS

The country has fallen for it again. Ever since this bogus indictment was issued by the US, the country has been in full flighted retreat.
