“And Moses said unto the people fear ye not stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord: Which he will show you today. For the Egyptians who ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no more.”

Exodus, 14: verse 13 & 14

Michael Pintard shared this stricture verse with the audience at his, “This Change is Unstoppable” event last night and indeed the event, the talk that he gave was a very timely one, with one of the main focuses being the systematic manner in which this present government attempts to threaten and intimidate anyone that stands up against it and he went on to explain why Bahamians should come together to remove them from office.

“Pintard: I will not be intimidated.” – The Tribune

Excerpt from this article; “Former Free National Movement Chairman Michael Pintard last evening declared that he would not be intimidated and forced into silence, asserting that the only way for Bahamians to socially mature, would be through a systematic change of the current political model.

Speaking at his “This Change is Unstoppable” event, the veteran politician criticized both the PLP, and to a lesser degree the FNM for what he described as the ‘disgraceful’ concept of governance perpetrated by successive regimes.

The former Senator contended that the masses are suffering while the elite are left to flourish at their expense. 

Mr. Pintard further implied that the ‘concepts’ being fabricated by those that wish he would step away from front line politics, have been used to ‘cover up’ the supposed sinister wrong doings by members of the Christie administration.”

Indeed, the government in the past four years has been involved in some of the most underhanded and sinister plots that have taken the country backward instead of forward, plots mired in some of the most corrupt practices that we have ever seen.  A road of corruption, mismanagement and poor governance.

During the Bank of the Bahamas (BoB) fiasco; a former Free National Movement Chairman and Senator’s home was searched and belongings seized as the government looked for ‘the leak’, which was never found, that was revealing the record losses at the financial institution and the manner in which they were being covered up. 

Of course this ended with the losses being ‘transferred’ to newly created government entity; Resolve Bahamas, which was charged with recovering the losses.  To date the BoB is experiencing losses and the works of Resolve Bahamas is unknown.  Just think about it, the government creates a debt recovery agency to transfer its losses to and to oversee the recovery of said losses; this is unbelievable.

During the Peter Nygard/Louis Bacon Sage, this government again showed its attempts to threaten and intimidate persons into silence and/or submission, as it targeted anyone ‘associated’ with Louis Bacon; whom they claimed was/is an enemy of the state.

It is interesting the lengths that this Progressive Liberal Party went though in this matter to protect ‘one of its own’, a foreigner that has been known to contribute greatly to their party; “if you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us”, one PLP MP once said, we just did not know how deep ‘we’ went with this party.

We have two foreigner fighting over Bahamian soil and the government decides to side with one of them and threaten any and every one that does not follow their lead in this matter, even a Court Justice, just because she would not allow them to break the spirit of the law by invoking ‘parliamentary privilege’ to violate another’s persons Constitutional right to privacy, this is unbelievable.

As far as I am concerned, the present government has shown it propensity for illegality and nothing can be incriminating than the Marathon Gasoline spill matter, as they continue to attempt to cover up their mismanagement of this matter through threats and intimidation, they should be shame of themselves but we have come to know that they know no shame.

“Permit me to define what may qualify as a conspiracy.  A gasoline leak that is eventually brought to the attention of the government and the government, despite the recommendation of the report they commissioned to inform the residents, then makes the decision to not tell the residents or public about the potential dangers; for a full year Ministers maintain a code of silence.

‘Imagine a member of Parliament visiting your home and sitting and talking about your future traveling possibly with his bottle of water and watches you as you drink from your contaminated well; and never bothers to tell you that you may be at risk.”, this is the type of government that serves the Bahamas today.

The Progressive Liberal Party fails for one reason, it is within their nature.
