We are indeed living in some seriously interesting times in The Bahamas, where chief political victimizers like Hubert Alexander Ingraham and his band of political yes men and women \u2013 now find themselves in the victims\u2019 seat.<\/p>\n
I am one of those Bahamians who have politically and socially been unmercifully victimized all of my adult life; starting from the days of the C.C. Sweeting students\u2019 revolt of 1983.\u00a0 I was scorned under the Pindling years to the point of being turned down for every opportunity in which I attempted to take advantage of in the public domain.<\/p>\n
Thanks to good Bahamian people who rescued me along the way.<\/p>\n
I was severely victimized and blacklisted under the Hubert Ingraham Free National Movement (FNM) \u2013 because of my unrelenting support of Floyd Watkins – the party\u2019s Delaporte standard bearer (whom Ingraham hated for personal reasons) from 1989-2002.
\nThen, I am clearly too outspoken for a Hubert Ingraham; so he hates me double.<\/p>\n
His friends do not like Dennis Dames.\u00a0 In fact, some of Ingraham\u2019s pals abhor me so much, that they have boldly told many folks that yours truly will never be anything of value in the country of his birth.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the FNM\u2019s victimization that hurts the most to me, because it\u2019s the party that I have dutifully supported all of my voting life and a number of years before it.<\/p>\n
I have been employed with the Urban Renewal Program since October 2008 after months of agonizing efforts to join the team; thanks to Tommy and Dion for having mercy on me.
\nMy experience on the job with the FNM version of Urban Renewal was an unpleasant one, because of the wickedness and evil acts against me by my colleagues; most of whom are close friends and cohorts of King Hubert.\u00a0 I know that the good reports in my personnel files are totally different from what was secretly written and spoken about me to those in high places.<\/p>\n
God is not asleep!<\/p>\n
The government has changed in May, and many of the plotters are now on the streets; and yes \u2013 this Bahamian is still standing – despite all the evil that was worked on me to date; especially by FNMs.<\/p>\n
So, if they denied Hubert the opportunity to say goodbye in the House of Assembly \u2013 I say that\u2019s good for his hip!\u00a0 Take that!\u00a0 How does it feel – sir?<\/p>\n
