The first PLP witch hunt of 2012: PLP vs Larry Smith

This link is the PLP's attempted 'retort' to Bahama Pundit's excellent article, which was mentioned in one of my earlier posts. Click here for his most recent article on BTC. Click here for Bahama Pundit's original article on Bluewater, the PLP's attempted giveaway of BTC to their own insiders back in 2006/7.

Fortunately, Larry Smith at Bahama Pundit has two things that his adversaries possess in short supply: a brain and integrity. This is a blatant attack on a respected journalist who has done his home work on this issue. 

 The PLP don't like the truth on this issue, so they attack the messenger. It is an all too typical PLP tactic straight out of Pindling's drug era playbook! Discredit the journalist trying to talk sense and explain the truth to the people and repeat bogus falsehoods in the media for the loyal simpletons to absorb and parrot. The Republicans in the USA have mastered this technique well. 

As Goebbels infamously observed: "The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly - it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over." Educated Bahamians, hopefully, can see through the PLP's crass tactic.

In the 21st century , we now know there is no such thing as objective news, so the best one can do is seek for a kind of intersubjectivity that allows one to develop one's own subjectivity in the hope of fostering a kind of refined or cultivated objective perspective that appreciates from whence differing opinions came from. Marcus Aurelius said, "Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth." This intersubjectivity can only be achieved via a plethora of news sources from a diversity of backgrounds and cultures. Unfortunately, that is very time consuming. I tend to check these services as I can: CNN International BBC World Service The Week The Economist NYTimes WSJ euronews Bloomberg FT The Guardian NPR Le Monde ...

Know thyself!

The spirit of this blog can be summed up thus: Know thyself! These words were inscribed in the stones of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi  and they are the essential mystery of the human experience, both as an individual and as groups, throughout time.

I find it disconcerting that we are returning to an era that is reminiscent of the Gilded Age , especially in the developing world. The chasm between rich and poor grows greater and greater and is exemplified by this unbelievable display of Pharaonic  wealth. I'd be embarrassed to live in such opulence, surrounded by slums . If you haven't seen the amazing film, Slumdog Millionaire , do yourself a favour and watch it.
