His beloved Democratic National Alliance – DNA still exists, but is presently on life support and is only in need of some intense loving boost to live a bit more - to simply add some cash to the public treasury.
If Canada knows - for instance - that 6 million U.S. homes depend on Canadian energy…make the moves necessary to bring that to bear without telegraphing. Undertake surgical strategies to offset interdependencies, by whatever degree of stealth is possible.
One can’t win a narrative war.
Let Trump awaken to the consequences of his decisions by their actual impacts.
America’s apparent dominance - to speak in such terms - are really a network of teeming interdependencies through which it has been allowed to appear dominant singularly.
That is fragile.
And Canada has been complicit in sustaining American dominance; including choking Cuba to death illegally and financing the slaughter of 50,000 Palestinians.
It’s not enough to whine and claim victimhood. Canada must in its actions atone for its complicity as handmaiden to serial villainy: for instance, it should end the effectiveness of the Cuban embargo by leveraging its massive agricultural prowess in Cuba; solving their food production and distribution problems.
Such a strategy would not merely help the Cubans, but it would punch a hole in the embargo, whilst providing regional states - which have also been complicit - with alternative access to agriculture.
Things how one break those interdependent linkages, expose fragilities and system anomalies which are weaknesses appearing as strategy’s, by enacting counter-measures against key US industries, rather than against the U.S. itself…and beyond mere talk and showboating.
It strikes harder and more deeply and in that way, does so in a manner that’s difficult to incite revenge.
Small nations must master such methods!

CBDCs are completely owned and controlled by governments. Meaning governments would hold your wallet, your money, and have access to all of your banking information. This would include information on every transaction in your daily life. It’s ultimate centralization.
With cryptocurrencies, governments can’t track how much you have, where you spend your money, or who you give it to. Plus they are decentralized, effectively pulling power away from central banks who have been using debt to control and enslave entire populations for decades.
With CBDCs, something governments and central banks have been pushing hard for, governments would enjoy more secrecy, and be able to control their population more than they currently do. CBDCs would also be easier to tax, since hiding any money from the government would be impossible.
Remember, central banks ARE the problem, and have been for decades. Crypto was created to stop this problem, yet they have gotten a bad rep because they don’t serve the interests of powerful people.
"Instead, a CBDC is something closer to being a perversion of cryptocurrency, or at least of the founding principles and protocols of cryptocurrency—a cryptofascist currency, an evil twin entered into the ledgers on Opposite Day, expressly designed to deny its users the basic ownership of their money and to install the State at the mediating center of every transaction." - Edward Snowden.
Dr. Minnis, you were the leader of the FNM for the 2017 general election. Under your watch, Mr.
Now, you and your supporters say you should be given the chance to run again, just because you are a FNM party incumbent candidate. Well bro, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
Yes, he is arrogantly on a losing course to wreck the FNM – just to satisfy his wicked political ego. Well, he will holler as the FNM will not win the next election under his unwanted national leadership.
He is unknowingly working on a political legacy of shame and disgrace for himself. He is a sore loser.
As a voter in the Killarney constituency – who has supported the FNM all of my voting life, I am all ready and set to ensure that Dr. Hubert Alexander Minnis lose his seat on or before 2026. So, carry on Dr. Minnis. Your time of becoming a no-seat wonder nears with the passing of each day. It will be a fitting retirement gift for the politically foolish Dr. Minnis – who appears not to know when to quit while he is ahead.
POLITICS: Prime Minister Philip Davis, via a press statement issued Saturday afternoon, blasted Free National Movement (FNM) leader Michael Pintard who publicly stated his disapproval of government’s intent to appoint two Deputy Commissioners of Police.
Pintard told media ahead of the appointment that one Deputy Commissioner would be sufficient, and supported the appointment of Deputy Commissioner Kirkwood Andrews, but questioned why government needed to appoint Rolle as a second Deputy Commissioner as well.
The Prime Minister said, “I was disappointed, though not terribly surprised, to learn that the Leader of the Opposition has chosen to be in full attack mode rather than playing a more constructive role.”
“His comments regarding the appointment of a Deputy Commissioner of Police are unfounded and unhelpful.”
He continued, “Deputy Commissioner of Police Anthony Rolle is a leader who has dedicated decades of service to protecting our communities, often at great personal sacrifice. His instrumental role in the Urban Renewal Program has been transformative, fostering safer neighborhoods and stronger relationships between law enforcement and the Bahamian people.”
The Prime Minister stated that he is confident that the “Bahamian people are rooting for the RBPF’s new leadership team, and praying that they will find only success in their efforts to change and reform the force, to fight gangs, violence, and disorder, and to restore trust in our communities. Michael Pintard should do the same.”

I am impressed by Jamaica’s political maturity - when I consider it to that of the sluggish nature of Bahamian politicans and politics in The Bahamas. For example, I think that the system of national checks and balances in Jamaica is far more advanced than that of The Bahamas.
For instance, when I read about the Integrity Commission in Jamaica – I smile, because it would be like an unwanted hassle-breaker to Bahamian politicans! They would therefore not want any part in establishing such an honorable national office – in my humble view.
Our very our media and Bahamian people are still advocating for a simple Freedom of Information Act – after all these years of slick promises from no-good Bahamian politicans and national leaders.
