Apollo Butler, "The reason crime is so high and WILL continue to rise, is because the majority of Bahamians are on the same Level of Consciousness."

TheBahamasWeekly.com has once again selected Bahamians to canvas their opinions on highlights of The Bahamas over the year 2013, as well as ask about the direction of the country. Their comments will be shared over the coming weeks.

Through this exchange we hope to also highlight Bahamians in our community, and share their personal triumphs, that may or may not have made the news.


Here is the opinion of Apollo Butler:

1. What event do you feel was the most important for The Bahamas in 2013?

The announcement off the Value Add Tax by this current government. As a Bahamian, and I am not political tool because I do not refer to myself as FNM, DNA or a PLP. I have no problem paying my taxes, but I do insist on getting my money worth. Bahamians, seemly, are prepared to pay more taxes; for the same standard of living!

If you call the police for assistance, nine out of ten they will tell you they have no car! There is a WAITING ROOM within the delivery room at P.M.H, for birthing mothers because there is a shortage of beds! And to top it all off the religious institutions, who insist on shoving their plagiarist-doctrine down peoples throats, want to dictate how I can live, and more importantly, spend my money.

But, if I am going to pay more taxes, I expect to be able to pick up my cell phone and see a police car that's near to me. If am going to pay more taxes, I expect an improvement in the government sector. If I am going to pay more taxes, I expect a better standard of living.


2) Who passed away this year that you feel will be 'most missed' and why?

Mr. Nelson Mandela. For the last ten years I have been studying him personally and was trying extremely hard to put myself in a position to meet him, but faith would not have. He was a true example of a leader. He was a true example of vision, and more importantly, he was a true example of love.


3) Who was the 'most inspirational / influential Bahamian' in 2013 and why?

I would say Mr Anthony White. I met him once years ago, at the News Cafe in Palmdale. There he shared stories that certain government officials would not want public, and for that I am grateful.


4) 2013 was the country's 40th anniversary of Independence. What stood out for you in way of commemorating this event?

Well I don't celebrate independence because after nearly  40 years, The Bahamas cannot feed, protect nor govern itself. After 40 years of independence gay people are still treated like garbage by the Bahamian public.

Gay people pay their taxes like anybody else and are entitled to be respected by the Bahamian people. After 40 years, gay people cannot walk openly in public in our country without scrutiny or even be assured that they have the support of the police.


5) 2013 may have been one of the worst years ever for crime in The Bahamas. What are your thoughts and suggestions?

The world operates on energy, frequency and vibration, and the main reason crime has escalated over the last ten years, is because Bahamians are blind to how the world works and to their own powers. Religion was CREATED as an inexpensive political/military tool to keep the population from overthrowing the government/totalitarian state. And it does by habitually installing religious beliefs within their congregations and encourages them to put their trust in a God on the OUTSIDE of them. And for any religious person offended by my views, you can watch the documentary Caesars Messiah and read a good book "Three Magic Words" By U.S. Anderson.

The second problem is education, which programs people to put their trust in a man's senses, which is nothing more than trust in an illusion. Any Bahamian can research the fifth "Salvo- Conference" that took place in nineteen-twenty-seven, and see what was discussed there. Because of what was discussed there, the information forced the universities (mainly in America) to drastically adjust what information they teach their customers. This was only done to ensure the vast majority of the world population become loyal perpetual-consumers.

Now it's very simple. Life is not happening to you, it is RESPONDING TO YOU, and it does so by the thoughts and emotions that the individual DECIDES to entertain. Every talk show in this country speaks about "issues". The nightly news is filled with negative-toxic news, and it's the first thing we see in the morning newspapers. The reason crime is so high and WILL continue to rise, is because the majority of Bahamians are on the same LEVEL OF CONSCIOUSNESS. Therefor by NATURAL LAW, the crime rate WILL RISE.

A good example of this are those "Stop the Violence" rallies they have in front of parliament and on the government parks. Every time those churches bring together a mass of people that share the same "things hard, crime on the raise" consciousness, two to four people are murder within that same week! And that's because what you focus your mind on you get (that's law) but when you bring a MASS of people with the same consciousness, you speed up the process, and cause more crime!

The church does not TEACH THIS and education does not PROMOTE THIS. "The Lost Mode of Pray" by Gregg Braden speaks heavily on this. Also the video presentation by Dr. Wayne Dyer, "Thoughts are creating reality" show you in detail how the mind works. If people want to lower the crime rate, you have to switch the level of consciousness the nation is on. Stop the talk shows from speaking about crime and negativity 24/7. Order the newspapers to make their headlines all positive and put the murders in a "by the way" section. Have "thank you for the peace in my land" rallies and no more stop the violence rallies.

6) Is there an 'unsung hero' you feel should be recognized from 2013 or prior? If so, who and why?

My unsung hero is a man named Henry "Rusty" Scates. For the last year, he has helped me mentally and financially while I was going through the process of writing my novel.  I would like to take this time to express my sincere gratitude to him for what he has done in my life over the last few years.


7) Do you have a Personal Highlight for 2013?

Mmmm honestly, to me, it was a very simple and productive year.
