In Sober Contemplation about The Political Blue Wave of Tuesday November 03, 2026 - USA Midterm General Elections



The Blue Political Wave of November 03, 2026 - USA Midterm General Elections



Blue Wave 2026 USA


THE BLUE SUPER TSUNAMI: A TIME OF RECKONING




By Dr Kevin Turnquest Alcena
Nassau, The Bahamas



“History is in perpetual motion.  No empire, no government, and no individual can permanently stop the march of a people determined to be free.  The wheels of justice may turn slowly, but the struggle for freedom continues from one generation to the next.”  By Marcus Garvey.

The blue election wave sends a powerful message: leaders cannot assume that their power will last forever.  People can reject arrogance, division and fear through the ballot box.  For those of us who believe in divine justice, this moment feels like a reminder that God remains in charge.  It is karma unfolding—the consequences of decisions finally returning to those who made them.

“Power has its season, but every season comes to an end.”

The election of Georgia’s first Black woman governor, Keisha Lance Bottoms, and the first Muslim elected to the United States Senate, Abdul El-Sayed, gives this moment special meaning.  Their victories show people breaking barriers that once seemed impossible to cross.  To believers, this can feel like divine karma: those pushed aside rising to help shape the future.

“Those once told to stand aside can become the people who lead the way.”

But defeating authoritarianism requires more than winning an election.

The blue wave must become a lasting rejection of intimidation, hatred and the belief that one leader stands above the law.  Eliminating fascism means protecting independent courts, free speech, fair elections and everyone’s rights—even after the celebrations end.

“Freedom survives when people defend it beyond election day.”

Marco Rubio’s arrogance should face serious scrutiny.  His sanctions against International Criminal Court officials raise questions about his willingness to accept independent accountability.

Rubio and the Trump administration must answer for their decisions through proper investigations.  Neither the presidency nor the Trump family name should shield anyone where evidence establishes wrongdoing. Rubio will never become president of the United States he has to lawyer up.

Marco Rubio may dream of becoming President of the United States, but history will remember how a son of Cuban immigrants used his political power to support policies that deepened the suffering of the very nation his parents once called home.

The road to the White House should never be paved with the suffering of innocent people.  Power without compassion is not leadership, and ambition without humanity is not greatness.  The highest office in the land should be earned through service to humanity, not through policies that punish it.”

“Those who question everyone else must be prepared to answer questions themselves.”

The war against Iran also demands a full accounting.  Those who consider it unjust deserve clear answers about why it was fought, who suffered, especially the innocent school children and whether those responsible acted lawfully.

Retribution should take the form of evidence, independent judgment and consequences where wrongdoing is proven.  That is how public anger becomes meaningful justice.  Benjamin Netanyahu faced his karma.

“The suffering of ordinary people must never disappear behind the speeches of powerful leaders.”

Venezuela deserves the same transparency.  Allegations that its money or resources were stolen must be independently investigated.  Every disputed transaction should be examined, and any wealth proven to have been taken unlawfully must be recovered for its rightful owners.  Venezuelans deserve to know what happened to their country’s resources.

“A country’s wealth is the inheritance of its people, not the prize of the powerful.”

For Cuba, the blue wave offers hope for a different future.  It could strengthen efforts to ease isolation, rebuild relationships and support economic recovery.  But Cuba has not yet been saved from American pressure: new U.S. sanctions were announced after the election.  The opportunity now is to turn the promise of change into real relief for Cuban families.

“Hope becomes freedom when change reaches the lives of ordinary people.”

The greatest irony for Rubio would be to witness Cuba grow through the very international solidarity that isolation seeks to restrict.  Imagine a Cuba with reliable electricity, enough food and medicine, thriving businesses and greater opportunities and freedoms for its people.  That would be a powerful answer to policies that deepen hardship.  Cuba’s success should belong, above all, to Cubans themselves.  Rubio will witness the emergence of a new Cuban order of success.

“The most powerful reply to isolation is a people who flourish.”

CARICOM must now rethink how it supports Cuba.  Caribbean leaders should pursue practical partnerships in farming, healthcare, education, energy and trade, while working together to remove barriers to cooperation.  They cannot assume that American threats have disappeared, but they should refuse to let fear determine the region’s entire relationship with its neighbour.  I propose that Cuba should become a full member of CARICOM. 

All the Caribbean islands - including The Bahamas Jamaica Trinidad Guyana and Barbados - when they had little to no job opportunities they went to Cuba.  Cuba aided the Caribbean, Cuba was there for us even in the great depression.  The Marco rubio neo-fascist policy againts cuba must reset, we need to protect and begin dialogue with Cuba now!

“Solidarity means building the partnerships that fear tells us to abandon.”

Trinidad and Tobago, and Guyana must also examine their choices.  Any government that bows to Trump’s personality instead of defending clear national and regional principles risks a political ricochet when his influence weakens.  Caribbean diplomacy should serve Caribbean people, with agreements open to public scrutiny and leaders prepared to explain their decisions.

“Those who tie their future to another leader’s power must face the consequences when that power shifts.”

Any change in Israel must be judged by what it delivers: greater protection for civilians, respect for rights and meaningful accountability.  The same standard must apply everywhere.  A new global order cannot be credible if powerful allies receive exemptions while weaker countries face punishment.

“Justice loses its meaning when friendship decides who must answer.”

In the new global order - what we should demand is called accountability and transparency.  Let this be a purge of corruption, secrecy and abuse through lawful democratic action.  Let karma mean that wrongdoing carries consequences and stolen wealth is restored.  The blue super tsunami will fulfil its promise when victory becomes lasting reform—and when no leader can treat public power as personal property.

“The true reckoning begins when nobody is too powerful to answer.”

“Fascism is not defined by the number of its victims, but by the way it kills them.”
— Jean-Paul Sartre

The Sovereignty of the Grand Bahama Port Authority (GBPA)

 

A summary of the Hawksbill Creek Agreement (HCA) - The Bahamas



The Hawksbill Creek Agreement



By Professor Gilbert Morris


Ca Newry - I wish people would read and notice the references on which designations and classifications are based and resist using their uninformed nonsense impressions as having validity.


The Royal Commission 1971 ruled that legalisation could not alter the Hawksbill Creek Agreement.  That means the Sovereign State was limited by the prerogative of the Licensees under the Hawksbill Creek Agreement.


In jurispudence what force can bind a sovereign in its sovereign power?  No contact can bind a sovereign as a sovereign.  It’s remedial foolishness to suggest otherwise.


In a recent Supreme Court case, it was found that the sovereign status of the Grand Bahama Port Authority means it could not be wound up under Bahamas company law.  Principals of the Port sought to have one of the main principals removed and have the GBPA wound up.  The court did not say that would be a breach of contract.  It said the GBPA’s special status is governed by the Hawksbill Creek Agreement which grants sovereign power to the Licensees whatever the government’s position may be.  To any clear eyed person that is not a mere contract and the court recognised as much!


To any one who know the six Privy Council cases and understand basic law…and have worked on or read the pleadings of Maurice O. Glinton KC…they know the HCA is not a contract and to make such a claim is nonsense.


A trust is law can be created without naming it.  It depends on the rights and obligations of the parties: the government is the Settlor, the GBPA are the trustees and the Licensees are the beneficiaries…the Hawksbill Creek Agreement is the trust Deed!  That was my explanation in the summary of the Hawksbill Creek Agreement for testimony before a court.  As such, these aren’t mere opinions.  This is what the law has confirmed.  If the terms are too complex then it’s the reader who must get education rather than bellowing neuroflatulence!

Grand Bahamians Deserve More


Bahamian Ownership in The Bahamas


Bahamian Investments in The Bahamas

Bahamians Invest in The Bahamas


By The Hon. Dr. Hubert A. Minnis
Nassau, N.P., The Bahamian


Grand Bahamians deserve more than lower electricity bills. They deserve the opportunity to become shareholders too!

When the Nassau Cruise Port opened its investment opportunity to Bahamians, thousands participated, and investors have since received dividends.

Many Bahamians missed opportunities like that in the past because information wasn’t as accessible as it is today.

Now, with the Government’s acquisition of Grand Bahama Power Company, I believe ordinary Grand Bahamians should have the opportunity to purchase shares, not just a select few.

We know better.  Let’s do better!

If you have friends or family living in Grand Bahama, share this video with them.  Let them understand the opportunity being proposed and ask the Government how ordinary citizens can participate.

Don’t just be a customer.  Have the opportunity to be an owner!

THE NATIONAL INVESTMENT FUND (NIF) OF THE BAHAMAS: DOES THE BAHAMAS GOVERNMENT'S EXPLANATION ADD UP?


Questions for The Bahamas Government on Spending The Bahamas National Investment Fund (NIF) Money

National Investment Fund Bahamas


THE NIF: DOES THE GOVERNMENT'S EXPLANATION ADD UP?


By Lynden R. Nairn:
Nassau, N.P., The Bahamas



The Government wants us to believe that:

1. It established the NIF in 2023 but failed to make it operational.

2. In 2025, it authorised borrowing of up to $300 million to fund the NIF.

3. Because the NIF was not operational, the Ministry of Finance spent the money instead.

4. Despite knowing this, it proposed a further $700 million for the same Fund in May 2026.

Here is the question: If the NIF could not spend the first $300 million, why would the Government propose giving it another $700 million?

We are talking about experienced Cabinet Ministers with access to the country's top legal and financial advisers.  Surely, they knew the Fund was not operational when they proposed the first and most certainly the additional funding.

Why has it taken more than three years to get the Fund operational?  Who authorised the spending, and where is the full accounting?

The Government owes the Bahamian people an explanation. Saying the Ministry of Finance spent the money on infrastructure projects is not good enough.

Questions on The National Investment Fund (NIF) of The Bahamas



- Halkitis on Wednesday: The NIF spent $310M
- Munroe on Thursday: The NIF don't yet exist



By Lynden R. Nairn


NIF Bahamas


On June 25, 2025, Attorney General Ryan Pinder told the Senate:

“We look to have the fund constituted by the end of this month and funded in part from proceeds from the recent bond offering.”

Remember, Parliament had already passed the $300 million borrowing resolution on March 10, 2025 — some 107 days earlier.

Now fast-forward almost 15 months.

Yesterday, Minister of Finance Michael Halkitis explained:

“During the period before the Fund’s governance arrangements became fully operational, the Ministry of Finance acted on the basis that the Public Finance Management Act governed the administration and application of these public resources through the Ministry and the Treasury.”

He further acknowledged that the Government is still completing the Fund’s regulations, mandates, committee structure, financial reporting and audit processes.

So let us put the timeline together.

On June 25, 2025, the Attorney General said the NIF was expected to be constituted within five days.

Almost 15 months later, the Minister of Finance tells Parliament that essential governance arrangements are still being completed — after $310.9 million of NIF proceeds has already been spent.

Perhaps Attorney General Pinder was simply mistaken.

But if he was, when did the Government discover that the Fund would not be constituted as represented?

And, more importantly, why did the Government proceed to deploy hundreds of millions of dollars while the governance arrangements of the very Fund Parliament had authorized to receive the money were not fully operational?

Those questions deserve answers.

Decolonise The African Mind



The True Size of Africa









NOW THAT THE #MAP IS DONE (AT LAST); LET’s DECOLONISE THE AFRICAN MIND!





By Professor Gilbert Morris
Nassau, N.P., The Bahamas


In the postcolonial world, we have the habit of acting so late - after so much damage has been done - that when the action comes, it feeling like a distraction.

The map and the vision occupy different orders of reality, one spatial and measurable, the other durational and willed, yet the two orders are not wholly severed from one another, since a diminished spatial self-image may weaken the very capacity for durational commitment that coordination demands.  Correcting the map removes one obstacle among many.  It does not construct the institutions, the shared curricula, or the negotiated sacrifices of sovereignty that a genuine continental future requires.

One understands: Africans have hardly been in charge of their countries. Colonial powers became imperial powers and the actual foreign policy of the G7 was in assisting each other in continuing to exploit former colonies…by invading them, or in the case of France, killing more than a dozen of their leaders who don’t comply; using BRETTONWoods institurions to cripple them and international media to demonise them…all whilst stealing their resources under puppet regimes installed against the wishes of the African peoples.

Today, we are in a slightly different place: the Sahel hero-zone which is leading the way to a decolonised mind operating away from western institutions, but responsive to citizens.

Yet, whilst Dangote is a commerical bright spot in Nigeria (and there are others), he faces treachery in attempts to maintain the slavish extraction-led status quo; Boko in Botswana and the Namibians are showing signs - even if they talk more than do for now - Ruto is failing utterly in Kenya; Senegal’s president is destroying friendships to maintain a colonised dynamic with France, as are Cote D’Ivoire, DRC, Tanzania, Chad, with Uganda offering to serve as handmaiden to genocide in Gaza!  Rwanda and Ethiopia seem willing to risk other African lives for an African success story - though we must love their diligence - Somalia, Libya and the Sudans seem cursed by dishonest African and decietful foreign hands.  Zambia, Gambia, Ghana - which seems to start and stop - Malawi, Madagascar, Eritrea seem in limbo, as Zimbabwe is trying to tell us a good story…even if with troubling signs.  South Africa is the biggest disappointment - as we thought it would be a role model for other African nations.  Instead it’s pursued the worst of Nigeria.  All the rest are doing nothing to speak of…either holding onto old systems or old leaders wasting Africa’s moment of youth!

This does not mean there aren’t bright stories in Africa.  But the time for such stories has passed: AFRICA NEEDS COORDINATED ACTION NOW…if it is to build the future expected for so long by its youth now supported by the largest number of skilled talented Africans returning to the continent.

Africa must get busy cultivating a new development model away from western neoliberal financialisation: Africa can’t just develop skyscrapers, cramped urban settings, based on financialisation and extraction.  These systems failed and are failing in the West.

By “financialization” I mean the historical process, traced by Giovanni Arrighi in The Long Twentieth Century (1994) and by David Harvey in A Brief History of Neoliberalism (2005), whereby capital accumulation shifts its center of gravity from the production of goods toward the trading of claims on future production, so that value comes to be measured increasingly in instruments detached from the material and communal life they nominally represent.  By “neoliberalism” I mean the doctrine, formalized in the WashingtonConsensus of the late 1980s, that prescribes market liberalization, privatization, and fiscal austerity as universal conditions of development, largely irrespective of local historical circumstance.  By “civilizational approach” I mean a developmental orientation grounded in the relational ontologies indigenous to African social thought, of which Ubuntu, glossed by John Mbiti in African Religions and Philosophy (1969) as the principle that personhood is constituted through community rather than prior to it, is the most widely cited instance.  We must not waste time celebrating maps: we must use that momentum to coordinate to achieve larger immediate goals.

Africa must coordinate to conceive another model of civilisation based upon a blend of ancient ways and systems augmented by modern sustainability and eGovernance…with the aim like Singapore of full participation and full inclusion.

Strategic coordination around a civilizational vision offers Africa a genuine ground for de-risking from financialized neoliberalism, supported by convergent evidence from philosophy, political economy, and cultural theory, and by the historical record of structural adjustment’s documented costs and of Botswana’s counterexample.  That vision remains incomplete as a program until it specifies the accountability mechanisms that would prevent its capture by the authoritarian temptation that authenticité already illustrates, and until it resolves, case by case, which indigenous structures are genuinely communal and which are colonial ossifications inherited under the name of custom.  That resolution cannot be accomplished in the abstract; it requires the disciplined, state-by-state forensic labor that any serious civilizational project must undertake before it can be trusted with the name.
