OP ED EDITORIAL: Anoymous HOMEOWNER of RED FROG BEACH. DON’T BE SCAMMED LIKE WE WERE RFB recently distributed what they call an “Updated” SECURITY PROTOCOL I thank “JB” for allowing us to post because this is complete LIES and CYA nonsense. They have NEVER – EVER had or enforced ANY …
OP ED CONTRIBUTION FROM PNO READER: Dear Red Frog resident, This is XXXXXXX, co-producer of the Ad Sidera Semper Festival (ADS). Many of you have met me during my many visits to Red Frog over the last 4 years. As a reference, I was the one who organized the meeting …

OP ED: James “JB” Bryson The 20 Year Dysfunctional Fuck Story that is RED FROG BEACH AND RESORT is truly taking on zeigeist worthy and mythical proportions. Needless to say, I “still” receive snippets, updates, “little birdies”, and “new stories of buffoonery” from my “BOCAS BRIGADE”. TRUE, my wife has …
OP ED: James “JB” Bryson- I certainly have much to critique about the way things are done in my adopted home here. I still feel that despite the “boon” we see in Panama City, there lies a 3rd world underbelly we can’t seem to shake. With every “Four Seasons” or …
Let’s let the others chime in and see what they say, https://www-laestrella-com-pa.translate.goog/panama/politica/un-sistema-electoral-antidemocratico-BC6400993?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc By Carlos Guevara Mann ‘Let’s focus on the 2019 elections to get a more precise idea of the undemocratic nature of the electoral system. That year, with 31% of the presidential vote, added to the 2% that Molirena contributed, …
OP ED: by “JB” Do I “really” have to put this in print? Do I “really” have to lay it all out there to be seen? As if ANYONE does not know this already? PANAMA IS CORRUPT AS HELL!!!!!!!! PERIOD From the jungles of Bocas del Toro, to the mansion …
OP ED “JB”- Sort of a dead time for me topic wise as nothing is particularly “juicy” to chime in on. Pretty much the opposite of an election year back home. Romelo Roux- whom “PNO” has lovingly monikered “Spock” for years now because, well,……………………….? OK, having passed the obvious, it …
This was covered in great detail for both of our Spanish and English readers, but as I welcomed the “NEW” readers and contributors to life here in PANAMA, people considering retirement, and Ex-Pat status. I like to cover just how “cannibalisitic” the political scene is down here. I have to …
EDITORIAL: La Presidenta de la Corte Suprema de Panamá (María Eugenia López) sigue pareciendo estar haciendo todo lo que está dentro de su poder y más allá para evitar que Ricardo Martinelli (RM) se postule y se convierta en el próximo Presidente de Panamá (¿Le suena familiar)? En mi tierra …
Op Ed: Well the holidays were fantastic. Got to see my Grandaughter ( my God is she growing!!) . She made the Dean’s List, and she is becoming John Legend on the piano. I truly hope everyone else’s was as rewarding as mine. Even got the wife to somehow chug …
“JB” Op Ed If your new to this blog, pay close attention. If your a veteran, same old story of me venting my shit. I just posted a POSITIVE outlook contributed by both La Estrella, CNN, and Trip Advisor, that list PANAMA as a “must visit” tourist destination. Key word …
Editorial La Estrella de Panamá journalists@laestrella.com.pa 01/06/2024 00:00 PANAMA is perceived in better eyes in the world and we must take advantage of that. A couple of days ago, CNN Travel included the isthmus as one of the 24 destinations to visit in 2024. The media praises its tropical forests and …

The festive and consumerist atmosphere is palpable in almost all Panamanian capitals; Can you imagine the tension if the anti-mining …
In retrospect I can’t truly fathom the work I have put into this criminal enterprise. I am in luck to have a biographer who has kept perfect accounting of my postings. Why they saved everything I have said about JOE HALEY- STEVEN BOLTON- DANIEL CRANNEY, RICARODO SERVERINO,MIRANDA BUSSING, LORA HASSEN, …
ENGLISH A reflection of what should be: Red Frog Beach has the potential to be the premier location in Panama for real estate investment. The beaches are breathtaking. The wildlife is constantly a source of amazement. The flora and fauna are heavenly. At every turn there is something to see. …
(JB posting for a good friend)—— You will never see the real books, never see the real land or underlying asset, never get the truth, Your better off taking a walk down the beach with a bottle of Bourbon and a joint. Look at the ocean, listen to the waves, …
Before I sign off for the weekend, I wanted to post something that a Red Frog Beach owner asked me to do yesterday. My first question was with two sites that have popped up that I have ZERO to do with, why not them? And secondly, should I not be sending …
Op Ed: James “JB” Bryson For all my friends both old and new, found a lovely little nugget today about a lovely character you have all had the pleasure to meet. Seems like you can’t teach an old CONVICTED CRIMINAL new tricks as FORMER RED FROG HEAD of SECURITY, Cecilio …

After a year of the biggest social outbreak of the post-invasion era, the demands of popular organizations are still on the table. Saúl Méndez, general secretary of the Single Union of Construction and Similar Workers (Suntracs), said that the Executive “never complied” with the agreements made to face the high …
How about a little copywrite infringement with a sprinkle of false advertising and straight up BULLSHIT? I promised that I would be following up on my visit to RED FROG BEACH and I am. I am hopeful many read my last post about the Contract of Adhesion, that I went …
Steps being taken by conservationists to clean river with odd (yet effective) contraption. Introduction The Juan Díaz River watershed extends nearly 322 square kilometers and is composed of several medium- and small-sized rivers within the Panama and San Miguelito Districts. Before emptying into Panama Bay, the river flows through mudflats …

The Pan-American Highway is an epic 19,000-mile route that starts at Prudhoe Bay in Alaska and terminates at the southernmost end of South America in Ushuaia, Argentina.

I have mentioned in the past that the people that are pursuing the actual actions and cases against RED FROG BEACH, OGI, etc are those that have cooperated and many have been ex-employees. NOT Dan Cranney, who has refused multiple times to contact the forces at work and instead has chosen …
As I sit here one week after speaking of the security, or lack thereof, at RED FROG BEACH, or SCAMIA, or ZAMIA, whatever the hell they are trying to scrub 20 years of lies, mis-allocated funds, and blatant false advertising, PNO received this little gem. Sent to me from the …
Perhaps, being an ex-pat and living here has made me obtuse over the years to something that is very clear. Panamanians as a WHOLE, do not speak English very well. (if at all). We have travelled to Mexico, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic to name a few. All have in general …
US and Panama face same problem. Reminds me of the Cuban expulsion into Miami into the 80’s. Not that these people are all criminals, in that Maduro shows absolutely no care for his people. US and Panama greatly affected. This just a year after the so called “Mexico Migration”. And …
To all PNO readers– I hope this email finds you well! I wanted to advise that I have an upcoming podcast interview on October 22nd at 1pm CT. I will need to gather a couple more photos of the David area, so if you happen have any that will be …
