      Who exactly gave the orders? Officers in the Bahamas are accused of kidnapping and arresting protesters in the midst of CARICOM.






      Hon. Philip "Brave" Davis, Prime Minister of the Bahamas and Chairman of CARICOM, is once more in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons!
      Brave Davis is said to be concerned with international figures complicit in the FTX incident.
      Bahamians are angry this week about the alleged illegal detention and what some are calling the kidnapping of demonstrators by Bahamian RBPF officers. According to Attorney Maria Daxon and numerous others (including Davis' PLP supporters, these arrests are in violation of the Constitution of the Bahamas.

      It is believed that orders were issued from a higher authority to remove all peaceful demonstrators within several miles of the hotel. Which goes against the international Freedom of assembly.

      Last year, Lincoln Bain allegedly supported Bitboy Crypto, FTX investors in attempting to trace their investments and file reports in The Bahamas. If you remember this was all tied up with Sam Bankman-Fried companies.  
      Last year, some international investors were in Nassau, Bahamas with BitBoy Crypto.

      As if Brave Davis needed more attention, this scheme is reported to have had the opposite effect. As demonstrators were aware of their rights, they questioned the officers who did not respond with words but instead physically. Women were injured during this restraint.

      The demonstrators are well-known and respected members of the community who have held numerous previous demonstrations. Sadly, this is not the first time that Bahamian rights have been stripped away.

      Since then, Lincoln has been labeled the number one public enemy because he continues to advocate for Bahamians to directly benefit from their natural resources. Due to fear of victimization, many Bahamians who support Mr. Bain are reluctant to speak up.

      It is said by those on the scene that supporters were prevented from being interviewed by global media.

      Follow this significant constitutional issue on Facebook as it continues to grow, as other protestors have shared live footage of the situation and suits have been filed. Attorney Maria Daxon vowed to take this to THE UNITED NATIONS and won't give up.



      BAHAMAS' LINCOLN BAIN, COI POLITICAL LEADER/ACTIVIST & OTHERS JAILED! HELD ON "UNLAWFUL PROTEST"

      BAHAMIAN PROTESTERS DENIED THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO ASSEMBLE!









      The first day of CARICOM in The Bahamas was Wednesday the 15th of February 2023.
      Bahamians, led by well-respected activist Lincoln Bain, attempted to draw the attention of Caribbean Leaders to the issues Bahamians are dissatisfied with the improvements made to The Bahamas' Sovereign Wealth Fund by Prime Minister Philip Brave Davis, as well as the Carbon Credits that may be connected to the FTX scandal and the difficult issue of Haitian illegal immigration, which many Bahamians believe is not being addressed intentionally.
      However, police officers directed her and the other protestors to Goodman's Bay Beach West, located many miles away. They were compelled to travel as far as their legs could take them, demonstrating clear disdain for the senior citizens who desired to exercise their constitutional rights.
      Crystal Smith
      Crystal Smith, a resident of Freeport, Grand Bahama, was allegedly one of the protesters shoved to the ground and attacked by RBPF soldiers. She was then placed on a police bus and taken away. Along with about 12 other supporters that were seen in the recording. 

      It stated that she needed to be transported to the hospital; however, she was treated and turned over to law authorities before her attorney could examine her or receive a statement from her.
      According to the live footage, she was a target since she possessed the leader Lincoln Bain's live phone at the time of his arrest. Lincoln's social media account posted footage prior to the alleged police assault. The action was a sight for onlookers and viewers of the live feed.

      There is a suggestion that Bahamian officials asked the police not to allow CARICOM representatives to see the protests because they did not want the regional organization to comprehend the gravity of the situation.
      Apparently, several protestors were arrested for "Unlawful Assembly." The Constitution of the Bahamas safeguards the right of Bahamians to gather peacefully.

      Emotional Sam Bankman-Fried Arrested in the Bahamas - Facing US Criminal Charges!

      The creator of FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, admitted, "Look, I messed up."

      The creator of the now-defunct cryptocurrency exchange FTX surrendered without incident and was detained by authorities on Monday, December 12, 2022. 

      Yesterday evening, Samuel Bankman-Fried was arrested by Bahamian police in response to a secret indictment filed by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) at the request of the United States government. According to credible sources, SBF appeared emotionally distraught and as if he had been sobbing. His arrest occurred around 6 p.m. EST at his apartment in Albany.

      Bankman-Fried is anticipated to be extradited to the United States; nonetheless, he was arrested without incident and will appear in Magistrate Court in Nassau, Bahamas, on December 13.
      Sam Bankman-Fried has been charged with money laundering, wire fraud, and securities fraud by the United States government; if proven guilty, Sam "may face life in prison."
      Bankman-Fried may have hired the same attorney as Ghislaine Maxwell and the legendary El Chapo.

      Sam was recently featured on news media channels in The Bahamas and the United States, where he responded to FTX-related issues posed by various hosts. It is unknown if anyone affected by this major scandal found the responses to be accurate or sufficient. Many believed that he "put the final nail in his own coffin," while others expressed regret for Sam's childlike demeanor and praised his decision to come out of hiding. However, the brazen act surprised a great number of people.

      I'm confident that FTX investors around the world are ecstatic about this recent development. Uncertainty surrounds if and how cash would be repaid to FTX users, and as a result, a large number of investors have written it off as a loss. This will be a complex and drawn-out process due to the alleged involvement of celebrities and many high-ranking US and Bahamian officials in the FTX scandal.

      Sam, a billionaire "savior" of the islands, arrives in The Bahamas with lofty goals and expectations in the summer of 2021. A huge number of Bahamians were employed by FTX, and some of them quit their employment to join the team. In an interview, SBF revealed that he is still in contact with several employees who are still employed by international affiliates.
      Bankman-Fried apparently acquired a number of New Providence properties. In an interview, Bankman-Fried indicated that the houses were for future FTX team members relocating to The Bahamas.

      The Bahamas have not implemented the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), despite election promises to do so, many Bahamians are concerned about the potential for Bahamian funds to be linked to the FTX debacle. 
      The Prime Minister of the Bahamas was photographed at groundbreaking ceremonies and appears to have an intimate relationship with Sam Bankman-Fried. The former administration launched and supported FTX, and the present administration has continued it; nevertheless, very little information on contracts and agreements has been made public.
      Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried indicated in his first local interview, which aired yesterday, that he was not promised anything while in The Bahamas, with the exception of a few charity organizations, Bankman-Fried noted that no one in the community had asked him for anything. He was featured in an hour-long interview with Our News' Jerome Sawyer. 

      We will continue to watch the development of this situation.

      Is Hope Lost for The Bald and Beautiful? Lebron James Hair Again!

      Are Treatments Effective? Or Just Bald Balderdash?


      Doesn't LeBron and the rest of the follicly-challenged population know that going bald is the ultimate fashion statement? Women have adored bald men for ages, and it's not just because they're low-maintenance.

      One hot trend is the "reverse mullet"—you know, all beard and no hair. It screams "bad boy" in a way that makes hearts flutter and helmets unnecessary.

      This week probably had a lot of men ready to join the shiny scalp club. If LeBron, with all his millions, can't figure out how to save his hair, what hope is there for the rest of us? Spoiler alert: plenty. LeBron's hair has been on more adventures than Indiana Jones, matching his mood swings and game-time transformations. But his receding hairline has become a punchline for critics and fans alike.

      Despite the uphill battle with baldness, LeBron's low-cut look and once-visible hairline suggested he might have stumbled upon a magic potion.

      Curious men worldwide want to know his secret. Social media buzzed for months about a new product claiming to stop hair loss for both men and women. Naturally, I had to test this miracle cure and roped in a guy friend for a follicle challenge.

      He's now on round two of this 60-day treatment, which has been going for about 4 months. And guess what? It's working! Those hair follicles are waking up and sprouting new growth, though he's not quite ready for a shampoo commercial yet.

      Remember, these products aren't magic wands. They require time, patience, and the persistence of a toddler refusing bedtime. My friend is committed, and if this stuff proves worthy, you'll hear about it here first. Stay tuned and follow along!

      Suspect in Young Dolph Murder


      SUSPECT NAMED IN THE MURDER CASE OF YOUNG DOLPH, MEMPHIS TN

      Authorities have identified the man wanted in connection to the shooting death of Young Dolph. Justin Johnson, 23, is wanted for shooting and killing the Memphis rapper on November 17 at Makeda’s Homemade Cookies, according to the U.S. Marshals Service.

      He is wanted for first-degree murder and also has an outstanding warrant for violation of federal supervised release.

      Law enforcement agencies are now offering a combined reward of $15,000 for any information that leads to Johnson’s arrest. He’s also been added to TBI’s Most Wanted list.

      Police urged the public to share any information regarding the suspect's whereabouts and said that Johnson is a fugitive and "should be considered armed and dangerous." Police say Johnson is about 5’8″ weighing about 190 pounds.

      He also has the name “Jaiya” tattooed on his right arm. Anyone with information is asked to call U.S. Marshals at 901-275-4562, 901-601-1575, or 731-571-0280.

      A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS

      I am sure many are excited to hear this long awaited news. The rewards must be paying off, and as the saying goes "Money Talks...". I suspect that the police have strong leads in this case, why they are circulating photos of the suspect. The streets have a tendency to play judge and jury at times so, if this young man is smart, whether guilty or not, it would be best that he turns himself in asap.

      🍼🐤👼 Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott Baby...

      New Year Blessings!

      Despite the negative news surround Travis Scott, the good news is he and Kylie are expecting their 2nd child in the new year, we are guessing spring? maybe! We know for certain Kylie keeps her pregnancy very low key for personal reasons, and clearly she doesn't want to embrace her hormonal changes publicly.
      It is said that Kylie has been trying to get pregnant for a couple years, to give Stormi, 3, sibling company.

      According to sources:
      “She feels incredibly confident and is so overjoyed about expanding her family and becoming a new mom again.”

      “Kylie has never felt more prepared for something in her entire life. Kylie and Travis are so elated to be on this journey again together....They are so in love with each other. They share a special bond as parents that no one else can touch.”

      Personally, I am happy for them and wish Kylie a boy 😁 and a safe delivery!

      Now Travis is still under lots of pressure as it relates to the tragic you know what... but I think he should use this time to do some soul searching, perhaps focus on his growing family, marry Kylie, engage in some charity work and maybe after spring he may want to consider doing a interview to address what happened in 2021. 

      If he can be honest and sincere explaining what was happening from his point of view and how he felt at the time, it may open up the forgiving phase in people's hearts and minds.
      This decision may also help him rebound and save his career. 

      The latest cancellation with Dior brand i'm sure was the icing on the cake for him. That was a major fashion collaboration that was both popular, and successful.

      We all can admit that Travis was not the only person to blame for the entire ordeal but at the end of the day the concert bore his name, so he has to take full accountability for it. If he's smart He can say what changes will be made in the future to honor the victims, and should another concert happen in the future what major safety protocols he will put in place or just cancel it permanently and move on with a new branded title. 

      Whatever he decides to do I wish him nothing but peace and love. Namaste!

      Rapper JACKBOY ...and Friends In The Bahamas - Christmas Weekend!



      👀Word on the street!  -All roads lead to the famous Cheetah's Bar & Grill on Christmas Eve - PRE-PARTY + AFTER PARTY! 

      Young rappers JackBoy, Mooski, BRS Kash, Capella Grey and Pop Hunna was set to perform live for the holiday weekend at Mario's Bowling Alley Skating Rink in Nassau Bahamas, December 24th-26th. No fault of their own or the concert promoters, urgent changes to the country's health protocols called for additional safety measures. One of the main requirements to attend events such as this was to have a Covid Test conducted at the gate and of course sanitizations and social distancing.

      The date was officially changed to December 25th, Christmas night for the full concert! but that didn't hinder the crowd who was eager to see the up and coming rappers perform new songs, as well as their latest hits -the concert was lit! 
      Radio personality Erin Reign was the hostess for the night and for those who know her, would agree it was the perfect choice. 
      A NightLife Entertainment event in association with Cheetah's Lounge.Tickets were $40 General, $60 VIP and $100 ALL-ACCESS.

      I'm sure this was a major boost for the country's economy -coming out of a two year lock down. It was also a big opportunity for these young rappers to expand their fanbase on the international stage. I'm sure if you didn't know their names before, you know them now!

      YOUNG DOLPH MURDER - COPS WILL NOW RELY ON INFORMANTS! COOKIE STORE OWNERS WANTS THEIR NAMES CLEARED.


      Young Dolph Shot And Killed In Memphis At Age 36


      Now over a month since the brazen daylight murder of rapper Young Dolph of Memphis, TN. Police are no closer to solving the crime. Sources revealed that federal agents have sat down with their informants who have ties to Memphis and discovered a few new leads as part of the discussions.

      Agents are hoping that the new information will lead to a probable cause arrest even though no primary suspects have come to the surface. There have been rumors and speculations of who may have murdered the rapper and even talks of it being an inside job at the location where he was shot.

      Many online detectives have been gathering pieces of the puzzle. I must admit some does sound somewhat probable, while others are bogus and are clearly for click-bait only to drive people to their Youtube channels.

      The owners of the cookie store are making rounds on social platforms of choice pleading to the public, that they had nothing to do with the murder despite the rumors. They stated that their cookies were well loved by Young Dolph and he was like family to them. The daughter of the owners said that her parents are old and don't need the stress and pressure this situation has brought to them. She claimed that they have been getting disturbing calls day and night, since their personal house number was leaked to the public.

      It is unfortunate but most would admit, that some questions stuck out like a swollen thumb:
      1. The lack of bullet holes not visibly seen on the inside of the store from video and photo footage, (if indeed Dolph was shot 50 times) as speculated.
      2. Why are witnesses accounts not consistent on what transpired that day.
      3. Why did Dolph fall outside of the store window, IF he was shot from assailants on the outside.
      4. Who was with the rapper at the time of the shooting? If no one, why not?
      This case reminds me of many other murder cases of famous people, that transpired over the years. Welp! what do I know? i'm just a spectator looking at all sides from a logical and commonsensical view. I'm hoping for the sake of his children, this doesn't become another cold case.

      Many have said that Young Dolph was not married to his long time kids mother, despite folks calling her his wife. Matters like these always, usually create confusion, especially when money and assets are involved. I hope something was learned from this tragic incident.

      Young Dolph was well-known and a community servant, people loved and admired him for having a big heart. "Young Dolph" who was born Adolph Thorton Jr. — was shot and killed while shopping at Makeda’s Homemade Cookies store in Memphis, footage show two armed assailants. The case continues and any further leads we will be sure to keep you updated.

      Dear Online Keyboard Detectives,
      We understand that the community lost a great soul in Young Dolph, but it is important to consider the WHAT IF YOU'RE WRONG" factor in this case. It would be sad to see any innocent people succumb to rumors and speculations. Let the police and real investigators do their jobs. Happy 2022!
