My Morning Paper – February 26, 2021 – The Yellow Soap-Box

“NASSAU, BAHAMAS – The Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) and Democratic National Alliance (DNA) are calling on Prime Minister Dr. Hubert Minnis to clarify the reason Seabreeze MP Lanisha Rolle resigned from her Cabinet position.

The Cabinet office confirmed the prime minister acceptance of Rolle’s resignation letter as minister of Youth, Sports and Culture, indicating certain matters brought to his attention are currently ‘under investigation’.

In a statement on the matter, PLP Chairman Fred Mitchell insisted Minnis must ‘move quickly to clarify and come clean about widespread claims across social media’ in order to avoid bringing his entire government into further dispute.”

It is indeed very interesting that now the Chairman of the PLP would seek quick clarification after the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) social media propaganda machine “broke” the story on social media the night before Mrs. Rolle’s resignation creating the “widespread claims” that the chairman of the PLP now wishes clarification on.  These “widespread claims” suggesting that Mrs. Rolle was a thief; tried and convicted without a scintilla of proof – only open allegations, speculations and lies.

What I also find curious about this situation is the manner in which just days before the leader of the opposition; Philip ‘Brave’ Davis, had pulled out his trusty ‘yellow soap-box’, climbed onto it and accused the Free National Movement (FNM) of using social media to spread lies and propaganda against the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP), thereby attempting to set himself and his party as “innocent victims”.

“PLP Leader says FNM running a ‘garbage juice campaign” – The Nassau Guardian

Excerpt from this article; “As ne accused the Free National Movement (FNM) of engaging in a ‘garbage juice’ campaign, Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) Leader Philip Brave Davis yesterday raised concerns over the role Facebook is playing in The Bahamas’ democracy.” But sir, it is quite clear that the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP), the party that you lead is quite apt in the “game’ of running “garbage juice campaigns” using social media; this was seen in the manner in which they had her tried and convicted for tiefin’ without a scintilla of evidence.

What I find more amazing, as Davis cries foul from his yellow “soap box”, is that he would state so emphatically; we have identified 11 fake Facebook groups, running paid, active, anti-PLP advertising campaigns from their page.”   How does Mr. Davis know that some of these pages are not being sponsored and ran by persons in his very own organization, persons that do not see him as leadership material?

Is Mr. Davis suggesting that it is impossible for any anti-PLP pages to be ran by disgruntle PLP supporters and maybe their executives?

Is Mr., Davis suggesting that at this time all members of the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) supporters and executives want him as leader?

Two things Mr. Davis must be very careful of at this point as he continuous his duplicitous campaign.

One, ne needs to be very careful of putting statement out there that he cannot walk back and; two, remember if you are going to say one thing but do the complete opposite – the persons that you may be trying to ‘attack’ may be quite capable of beating you at your own “game”

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

My Morning Paper – February 02, 2021 – Men Having Honor

“Calls for the DPM to Resign – Davis insist PM has a duty to act against Turnquest”” – The Nassau Guardian

Excerpt from this article; “There are calls in opposition circles for Deputy Prime Minister Peter Turnquest to resign from Cabinets over accusations made against him by two companies alleging his involvement in a reported $20 million-plus scheme.

Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) Leader Philip Brave Davis said in a statement on Friday, Prime Minister Dr. Hubert Minnis has a duty to act ‘when a minister does not do the ‘honorable thing’.

My question now is; aren’t the executives of the Progressive Liberal party (PLP) duty bond to act when one of theirs; in this case its leader, does not do the honorable thing?

While we have the leader of the opposition demanding that the prime minister do the “honorable thing”, we have Philip ‘Brave’ Davis, claiming to be a man of honor and not even attempting to answer accusations made against him in the Peter Nygard lawsuit, where he is accused of receiving bribes.

Under the subheading,

3. NYGARD has significant Power and influence in The Bahamas, resulting from his chronic Bribery and Bahamian Political contributions (page 40); item #125, (page 45), states; “Nygard was also close to Philip “Brave” Davis (“Davis”) and regularly met with him and paid bribes to him and his political aides,”

To date, the leader of the opposition has not addressed these accusation other than to label them as “FNM mischief”, which in itself is ridiculous.

Why does he not feel the need to address these allegations made against him in a lawsuit against a man being accused of sex trafficking of minors and even ‘sex slavery”?

The manner in which the leader of the opposition would call for the resignation of the deputy prime minister over accusations but himself would refuse to step down over accusations, within itself is hypocritical and duplicitous; if we are going to follow the standard set by the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) itself.

The opposition Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) seems to be giving us a preview of how they would govern with Philip ‘Brave’ Davis as leader; with an extremely jaundiced view of the application of the laws of The Bahamas, oddly it does not seem to be that much different than the way that the ‘old’ PLP governed.

And at this point is Philip ‘Brave’ Davis only proving to us that he is a man lacking honor?

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