scottbrownA 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.

libsoccerWannie 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.

Written by Sam K Zinnah   
Tuesday, 26 January 2010

nyenaboAs 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.

liberia_grx“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.

Yanqui Zaza: An Anti-Corruption Crusader or Just Another Critic?
Written by Nvasekie Konneh   
Sunday, 24 January 2010

rebutI 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.

If Liberia is America’s Stepchild then Liberia is Haiti’s illegitimate child
Written by Sei Dintowon Kidau   
Friday, 22 January 2010
thumb_kidauThe 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.

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.
