 A Political Earthquake for Democrats
The Republican victory in the Massachusetts senate race on Tuesday, January 19, 2010 demonstrates the power of right-wing ideology when expressed vociferously. Another very powerful message from this senate race is that the influence and popularity of President Obama is nothing but media hype without substance. “All politics is local,” said the late Tip O’Neill.

 Wannie Botoe And David Momoh, Football Legends Whose Time Has Come To Be Honoured, Too
We, who follow Liberian football, are often told of the stories of the sports’ modern legends. While the stories of Liberian professional players constitute an important part of the history of Liberian football (soccer), there are legends, such as Wannie Botoe, Gladstone Ofori, Mass Sarr, David Momoh, Garrison Sackor, George Sackor, Josiah Johnson, and many others, whose stories, perhaps, are not being told because they never played professionally in Europe. They are laughed at and disregarded by us. But they were players who excelled on the football field for Liberia against other countries under conditions that were depressing.

 As the much anticipated 2011 elections draws near in Liberia, works are beginning to come to lights from clever politicians. Those works will either serve as political points or political bullets for those smart politicians. Recently, a bill to repeal the more than seven year old TRC act was submitted to the Liberian Senate by Grand Gedeh County Senior Senator Isaac Nyenabo.

 Johnnie Gayechueay….Johnny Gaye, a former soldier of the Armed Forces
of Liberia (AFL), and now an American’s GI (U.S. Army) recent account of the Zleh Town massacre in Grand Gedeh, Liberia presents a tacit
sense of the before and after so vividly that the question of
knowledgeableness is well understood.

I wrote this article to share my understanding of one of the factors
that led to the current polarization between the people of Grand Gedeh
and Nimba Counties, address what Johnnie Gayechueay said (The Underlying Factors of the Liberian Civil War) in regards to
my statements about the Samuel Doe K. Administration, and to discuss
the way forward.

 “Classic Modern Day Colonialism and Self-Sufficiency” Is Liberia an
Independent Nation? Or Is She a Colony of the “Modern Day System of
Colonialism”? Part II
“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that
matter.” We cannot be silent; we cannot leave it to others to see our
countries through because now is the time for all good men/women to
come to the aid of their country “(Haiti, Liberia, Sierra Lone,
Grenada, Ghana, Nigeria, Guinea Guyana, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago,
etc.)” ~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I have just read another of Yanqui Zaza’s articles about corruption in Liberia. It seems like he is on a crusade against corruption in Liberia but his anti-corruption crusade is different from the one that has been spearheaded by newspaper such as Frontpage Africa. In its crusade, Frontpage Africa has exposed many government officials who have been caught with their hands in the cookie jar. Some prominent examples of recent are the former Information Minister, Rev. Dr. Laurence Bropleh and Chairman of the Board of Director of MTA, Mr. Jackson E. Doe.

 The
violent earthquake that recently devastated Haiti has once again thrust
Haiti into the spotlight. To the average observer watching the news
coverage of this tragedy, Haiti is just another poorly governed Black
Country. To some racist and self-hating blacks, this is more proof of
their belief that blacks are incapable of governing themselves.

Liberia:
A country in Sub-Sahara Africa that experienced one of Africa’s
bloodiest civil wars at the end of the twentieth century and the
beginning of the Millennium. Before the civil war, the presence of
American Peace Corps volunteers in Liberia was above average.

 PRESIDENT SIRLEAF BUSINESS INTEREST, CONFLICT OF INTEREST? SIRLEAF DISAGREES, AND SON PLANS TO FILE LAWSUIT
The threat from Mr. James Sirleaf, one of President Ellen Johnson
Sirleaf’s sons, to file a lawsuit is another attempt to cover up the
President involvement in partnering with profiteers, potential source
for conflict of interest. Earlier, Ma Ellen released a statement to
kill a web site article detailing how she is serving profiteers and
taxpayers (i.e., two masters).

Over the past 10 years that I’ve been actively involved in advocacy for
youth participation into decision making processes as a benchmark for
sustainable development, its been said that “youth are the future
leaders.” What is this future that policy makers and ‘adult’ keep
labeling young people to be leaders of?
