BELINDA LIKES TO HEAR HERSELF TALK

06/22/25 7:38 AM

Last week for a full three minutes one morning the public of The Bahamas was entertained by the bellicose, biggity and disputatious tones of Belinda Wilson, the head of the Bahamas Union of Teachers.  Ms. Wilson believes because she won a large majority over a no name opponent in the last BUT elections that she is now mistress of all she surveys.  But she is simply mistaken and she talks too damn much.

The Bible says in Proverbs, there is a time for every purpose under the heavens.  There is a time to be silent.  Belinda Wilson does not know when to shut her damn silly mouth.  She cannot pass a microphone without having something to say.  She thinks that when she speaks she is speaking ex cathedra.  The problem is she is the only one who believes that.  She does not move the government and she certainly has nothing to show for her bellicose rhetoric.

By the time she goes rushing in with her rowdy mouth, the problem is usually solved.

The teachers in Grand Bahamas had enough of her silliness and unnecessary arguments without results that they broke away from her union.

In Nassau during the last round of negotiations with the public sector unions, the government outwitted her and had to rescue her when she made a practical mistake by not accepting what the other public servants had accepted. The teachers were looking at her and asking why and she had to come slinking through the back door in order to get a deal.

The latest problem is that she claims that she had to hear about the suspension of the Cuban teacher recruitment programme from the Minister of Health and not the Minister of Education. She says that she had to hear that that the recruitment from Cuba has stopped from the House of Assembly and she wanted to know how the vacancies were to be solved because the Cuban teachers were going home.

All of this she can find out by simply going to the Ministry of Education and ask but no she has to go shouting through a microphone and no radio as if there is some national crisis.

Belinda: shut up and march.

KEMSLEY OF THE PUBLIC SERVICE FOLLOWS BELINDA

06/22/25 7:35 AM

Kemsley Ferguson used to be a respected voice in the trade union movement.  He is the head of the Bahamas Public Service Union that is by far the largest of the unions in the country.  It is an important social actor.  He is wasting his talents though because he has become a total toady of Belinda Wilson, the disputatious and cranky, head of the Bahamas Union of Teachers.  Last week he was in the press complaining about the fact that civil servants are being given raises in the next budget cycle.  His complaint is that he wasn’t told of the raises in advance.  So what?  The simple solution is to go to the minister of finance or labour or public service and ask the facts   Instead he has taken to parroting Belinda Wilson by running to the press with rowdy dialogue and accusing of wrong doing where there is none.  A shame that he does this.

ISRAEL WORKS FOR AMERICA IN IRAN

06/22/25 7:34 AM

The Israeli Prime Minister, taking time out from his busy schedule of presiding over the bombing of Gaza, announced that his government had complete command over the skies of Tehran, the capital of Iran.  The Israelis bombed the city targeting they say nuclear sites and people who help to build the nuclear capacity of Iran. The word is that Israel has nuclear weapons but it appears that the west and the world at large is prepared to ignore that fact.  Iran must not have them.  That’s the pretext for bombing Tehran.  The U S took the position that they were not involved in the campaign of Israel in Iran.  Yet the professionals are saying that when you look at the diplomatic instructions and the military moves of the US in the days leading up to the bombing, it is clear that Israel could not do what it is doing without both U S military and diplomatic help.

THE IRANIANS DELIVER NOTHING BUT TALK

06/22/25 7:33 AM

Supreme Leader of Iran—all talk

After the west went after Muammar Gaddafi and killed him, displacing his government, the Iranians should have learned the lesson that the North Koreans seem to have ingested. You must always deal from a position of having a nuclear weapon.  The Iranians find themselves in the problems they are in, odious as their theocratic tyranny is, of being a sitting ducks for Israeli bombs and soon US bombs because they have no defence to the attacks. All they seem to be able to do is talk. They allowed their scientists, their soldiers and generals to be killed with impunity with not one response of an effective nature against people who they considered their enemies. They sat at the table in good faith and their reward now is that the government and country is under threat of annihilation. All talk and no effective response.

STUDENT ACCESS TO THE UNITED STATES

06/22/25 7:31 AM

U S Secretary Of State Marco Rubio

The United States is making a mockery of itself with regard to its on again off again policy on allowing non U S students into the United States. Students from The Bahamas who were all lined up to enter and matriculate at American universities are now questioning whether they will be welcomed into that country.  First they placed a ban on all foreign students applying, then the courts said no they could not do that.  Then the U S State Department put a pause on accepting new applications.  Now they say they are accepting new applications but that according to the US Secretary of State, the process now requires that they have access to the student’s social media accounts.  This means that they will then examine these accounts to see if you say anything that they do not like.  If they do not like it, you cannot come to the United States.  This from the land of the free and the home of the brave. But it’s their country and they do what they like.  Bahamian students are encouraged to look at other places like Canada or the UK or even China for their tertiary level education, if the US is not available.

THE ANTI HAITIAN CAMPAIGN IN THE BAHAMAS

06/22/25 7:29 AM

Anti-Haitian propaganda photo circulating on line

The Coalition of Idiots (COI) headed by Lincoln Bain has started something in this country that we consider very dangerous.  There is a fracture line in our politics that divides along who is Haitian and who is not of Haitian descent.  This is a most unfortunate outcome of the decision taken by the Pindling government at independence to make a distinction between those who were born here of Bahamian parents and those not.  Before independence everyone born in The Bahamas was Bahamian.  Now you have to apply at age 18 if your parents were not born in The Bahamas. The result is a pile up of applications of people mainly children of Haitians working in The Bahamas who have no status and feel alienated and discriminated against in many ways in the country. It is breeding resentment and it appears to be seeping into an undercurrent that may lead eventually to political violence in our country.  Lincoln Bain has been pushing this narrative and too many Bahamians are picking up the idea that Haitians are seeking to take over The Bahamas.  Never mind the millions of Americans who come here every year, the thousands who stay here as permanent residents and who Bahamians have no problem with. They are rich and white so no problem. The Haitians are black and poor but they have equally powerful influences because the entire bottom sector of the society, the artisan class is peopled by Haitian labour. If you throw the Haitians out, the economy of the country will collapse.  Yet very day there is the relentless stream of propaganda of lines at Bahamasair and accusations that the national airline, the Foreign Ministry and the Department of Immigration are facilitating the takeover of the country by Haitians. The Haitians who travel on Bahamasair, pay like Americans pay to fly here. They have visas that Americans don’t require.  They have to have a return ticket.  They have money to spend and they go back home. The problem is that the government itself cannot have a rational talk about this without inviting more friction. But facts are facts. Consider this fact: thirty per cent of the electorate is of people of Haitian descent.  We attack these people at our peril if you want to be successful as a political party.

MIGUEL TAYLOR’S ESSAY ON LIFE IN THE WORK PLACE

Miguel Taylor, 43, currently resides in Grand Bahama, navigating the currents of the public service as a Communications professional, while eloquently crafting poems and essays that illuminate Bahamian life and other compelling subjects.– Editor

The Boot Camp or the Boardroom:  

Reimagining Management in The Bahamas 

A short essay by Miguel Taylor 

What is management, if not the cultivation of human potential? In The  Bahamas, a pervasive and deeply troubling trend in workplace culture reduces this  noble pursuit to a caricature of command and control. Managers, seemingly solely  interested in exacting authority, operate less like leaders fostering growth and  more like drill sergeants running a boot camp, starkly at odds with the professional  environment that should define modern enterprise. 

This isn’t merely about strictness; it’s about a fundamental dehumanization  of the subordinate. Professionals, ostensibly hired for their expertise and  autonomy, find themselves under strict, less than humane management, often  reduced to a state of infantilization. Consider the abject absurdity of an adult  professional having to seek permission to use the restroom… a basic human need,  a fundamental right, treated as a privilege granted by an overlord. Such micro 

management is not just demeaning; it actively erodes dignity and fosters  resentment. 

The most chilling manifestation of this fear-based paradigm emerged in a  harrowing incident: a worker, involved in a vehicle accident, found their immediate,  primary thought was not of personal safety or potential internal injuries, but of  returning to work. The fear of punitive measures for absence overshadowed the  imperative for medical assessment. This wasn’t merely a misplaced priority; it was  a profound testament to a toxic work environment where an employee’s well-being  is secondary to arbitrary rules and the manager’s perceived authority. This incident does not just beg the question, “What is management?”; it screams a dire  indictment of its current practice. 

This “boot camp” mentality, as I call it, where fear is the primary motivator,  is a hallmark of toxic leadership. It prioritizes obedience over initiative, compliance  over creativity, and control over contribution. Such managers operate from a  transactional mindset, viewing subordinates as mere cogs to be driven, rather than  individuals to be inspired. This approach stifles innovation, precipitates burnout,  and drives away talent, ultimately undermining the very productivity it purports to  exact. The organizational costs of this anachronistic style are immeasurable,  manifesting in low morale, high turnover, and a culture devoid of psychological  safety. 

The true essence of management lies not in the imposition of power, but in  the empowerment of people. It is about facilitating success, providing resources,  removing obstacles, and guiding growth. A probable alternative, indeed a  necessary evolution, is to embrace a model of transformational leadership. This  involves trust, not surveillance; mentorship, not militarism; and respect for the  professional autonomy of each individual. When employees feel valued, trusted,  and safe, they don’t just meet expectations… they exceed them. They invest themselves fully, not out of fear, but out of commitment to a shared vision,  transforming the workplace from a battleground of wills into a collaborative arena  of achievement. It is time for The Bahamas to redefine management, moving from  the restrictive barracks of authority to the expansive possibilities of true leadership.

THE FIGHTING STUDENTS AT GRADUATION

06/22/25 7:23 AM

Unfortunately, there was a video going around of an affray which appears to have happened to the chagrin of the principal, the minister and the teachers, following the graduation of CR Walker’s school on Wednesday 18 June 2025. This is not surprising, though disappointing.

There ought to be criminal and academic sanctions which follow, but in this society there are often no sanctions for negative behaviour.

We also reflect on the steady diet of American generated TV nonsense and pabulum, which is offered on our local cable system. 

It is simply rubbish that so many channels are featuring black or white women donned to the nines in their wigs, and in their makeup, whose stock and trade is simply to cuss and carry on like cats and dogs. Do people actually live like this in real life? 

Everything is materialistic. There are no real friendships. You cannot trust anyone. Then there is the fight which all too often happens. So when you look at the video of these girls and boys in this country punching, kicking and carrying on, cussing in public places, you can see where they get this stuff from. It is a steady diet of violence, which is fed to them off these TV sets

One suggesting to the police force is perhaps that the section, which deals with them with criminal intelligence should deal with these videos of these affrays, identify the people in the affrays and charge them before the courts. The deal will be that the charges fall away after a year in anger management courses and successful academics. 

The opposition wants to blame the government.  Civil Society says it’s the police but the fault dear friends is that society as a whole does not accept the fact as Bob Dylan says things have changed.
