Opinion columns and commentary by “JB” Bryson on Panama politics, Bocas del Toro, public life and expat concerns. Opinion, not straight news reporting.
by James “JB” Bryson So it has been quite a busy year since we first went “live” earlier in 2018. And while I personally have been quite pre-occupied with many of the things that are “wrong, askew, questionable, off” or downright “criminal” over here in Panama since making it my new home…….I have much to…
by James “JB” Bryson So yesterday, VETERAN’S DAY in the US I might add, I was driving back from a weekend in Pedasi along with Peter AKA “Gustavo” and “Big” Anthony to gather up more due diligence of a real estate swindle that took in Peter. Post was back on 10/24. https://panamanowonline.com/another-ex-pat-getting-screwed-story-this-time-in-pedasi/ I am unable…
by James “JB” Bryson OK, by now anyone can see that I have a strong distaste for politics in general. I would be a hypocrite if I, as an American Ex-Pat, only pointed my daggers towards the current Panamanian administration. My country of birth is RIFE with hypocrisy, and as it pertains to religion entering…
OP ED: by James “JB” Bryson One line- Can you see the forest between the trees? The former president of the Republic, Ricardo Martinelli was rushed to Santo Tomás Hospital, confirmed his spokesman Luis Eduardo Camacho.

by James “JB” Bryson In what is not so quickly, becoming the biggest not so hidden secret, is unless you actually work for the Public Registry, ANATI, or barbecue on the weekends with a judge, then quite simply…….DON’T BUY LAND IN PANAMA. Previously I covered and saw first hand with what is and HAS BEEN…
By James “JB” Bryson I have not hid my underlying in some cases and outright blatant in others, lack of approval of the Varela administration. Merely look back into the index of PNO.com since we started live and you will see a very apparent willingness that Varela shows to curry favor with Communist nations that…
by James “JB” Bryson So after a long bout with bronchitis, I check the old INBOX, and see that PNO.com was contacted by a gentleman named Gustavo who is an American citizen that was looking for some land to retire in in Panama. (Sound familiar?) He said he read the article we ran a few…
by James “JB” Bryson I will get back to the email replies tomorrow friends. I came down with my once a year cold this past week and was out of commission. Much to report on as I have kept up to speed on the local political landscape. Back to full speed this week. Saludos-
by James “JB” Bryson I woke up this week and instead of perusing through La Prensa or La Estrella to read what would undoubtedly be a new indictment of issue involving. BRIBES, PAYOFFS, BLACKMAIL,BACKPACKS, MONEY LAUNDERING, BANK FRAUD, TITLING FRAUD, BOUGHT JUDGES, etc……I think it’s time we recognize the level of high achievement that Panama…
by James “JB” Bryson I personally find it very interesting when reading the daily updates that are released about the prosecution of Ricardo Martinelli. It is hard for me to escape the practically incestuous link between Varela and his former boss, and the manner in which he is doing everything to silence him. The latest…
