By Mustapha N. Kanneh When the rotten CDC establishment rose to the pinnacle of national leadership after the country’s erstwhile president, that modern-day Jezebel who foisted on the Liberian people Mr. Weah, an empty vessel, a man suffering from intellectual kwashiorkor, and an ideologically disadvantaged ex-soccer star, we knew that the country had been submerged in a sordid pool of corruption, grinding poverty, and grotesque incompetence. While a few of our compatriots saw Mr. Weah and the CDC as the answer to the Liberian development quagmire, we saw…

Weah: “What was damaged during the 14 years of civil war,” he said, “cannot be fixed in a day’s time. This government is focused on rehabilitating Liberians whose lives were damaged. I want you not to join those who are undermining the country through protests. Join me to rebuild the country.” As part of his development plans, President Weah said the government was exerting efforts to change the lives of Liberians, by building concrete homes in place of the huts they have been living in over so many decades.

With Ekena Wesley In spite of historical contradictions, President Weah and his administration chose to proceed with their elaborate celebrations of Liberia’s Bicentennial Anniversary marking the arrival of freed slaves of African descent in 1822 to the so-called land of return, apparently dubbed by the Bicentennial Working Group.

By Martin K. N. Kollie The second Liberian Republic has had a lot of ups and downs.

This was indeed a landslide victory. There were also 13 counties at that time but Taylor still could not win 12…

President Weah violates all the laws of his country with a bellicose fist!

August 2, 2020 admin2Liberia, News, Weah0 comment

By Robert Moncio Kpadeh George Weah runs a hawkish kleptocracy (a criminal empire). He is a lawless President who violates all the laws of his country with a bellicose fist. His citizens are “dirt poor”, jobless and dying on a daily basis from extreme hunger. His economy wallows in total shambles. In the name of “Stimulus Package”, he shamelessly begged the IMF for a loan to buy rice, oil, and beans for his people (an unsustainable food distribution that now seems delusional)— meaning he is a father who…

Consequently, there is a risk that significant funds were (and remain) unaccounted for by the CBL, and Kroll therefore recommends that this matter merits further understanding."

Castrating just four (4) of Min. Samuel D. Tweah’s LIES – Is he a wholesaler of falsehood?

By Martin K. N. Kollie We cannot sit here and allow Min. Samuel D. Tweah to distort the narrative, especially ahead of 2020 and 2023 polls. In just 30 months as Minister of Finance and Development Planning, Samuel D. Tweah, Jr. has told many LIES. And most partisans of CDC, including some senior officials of government, have become so comfortable with his usual LIES. Either because of their ignorance or because they just have to praise this “king” even though he is NAKED. It is all about survival (struggle for…
