WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

The lawyer-politician Winston Tubman says the national nightmare is far from over as many of those who fanned the flames of war are in charge of affairs.
Speaking at the funeral of a murdered police officer recently, Mr. Tubman did not name names, but he said those Liberians who opposed ECOWAS’ intervention in Liberia 2 decades should not be celebrating its success. Some top politicians, at the zenith of the conflict, campaigned against ECOWAS, preferring Mr. Taylor to consolidate power. Mr. Tubman:
“Some Liberians who rejected the intervention by ECOWAS into our civil conflict at its inception have no right, twenty years on to be celebrating that intervention’s success; especially when our national storms and nightmare are far from over and cannot be ended when those who led us to darkness, destruction and death still hold sway over our destiny and insist that they alone can lead Liberia to reconciliation and durable peace. This is sheer fantasy; they cannot do it; and letting them attempt to do so could lead to disaster! Some people will say that by speaking thus at this funeral during tense times like these amounts to incitement. If by this they have in mind the incitement contained in our constitution when it allows, indeed calls upon the people to come together whenever necessary in order to remove peacefully by the ballot any government with which they are dissatisfied? Then I plead guilty. Yes, my aim today and in the ensuing political season is to incite the Liberian people, not to take up weapons as some before me did in the past and would do again if they do not have their way, to collectively assume their responsibility to fix that which is wrong with our country rather than to be endlessly criticizing a failed leadership for wrongs many of which that leadership authored and for which they have yet to show remorse.”
He condemned witchcraft in the justice system, saying ritualistic killings should be crushed through education and religious teachings.
In a speech recently delivered at a funeral of Police Inspector Amos Tutu, Cllr. Tubman of the Liberia National Union said:
“Liberian Constitution which is the supreme law of the land; but ignorance is not part of our culture. Therefore, where learning and science, whose laws are universal and not circumscribed by locality show old ways to be wrong, such wrong ways, by definition cannot be accepted as part of any culture anywhere. More than three decades ago, also in Maryland County, a dragon-slaying government, then as now, trampled on the constitutional rights of Marylanders. But, can we today say that that government was right when the same dragon which it sought to slay remains alive and well in Maryland County and beyond? Ritualistic murders are an abomination that must be confronted and crushed, by education, religion and persistent assaults rather than by vain violations of the human rights of our people, laws and constitution. In other words, witchcraft cannot today be authorized for criminal trials in any part of our country and certainly, not in one part of the country but not in others.”
The former Justice Minister and Liberia’s ambassador to the UN praised US Human Rights report recently released, adding it is sheds light on “rampant corruption in the country.” He said:
“We the Liberians owe gratitude to our foreign friends, especially the United States Government for recently shining light on so many on-going incidences of rampant corruption still deepening in our country. But, their well meaning effort will, I fear come to naught unless they go further and help us address the core, as yet unaddressed causes of our conflicts. Liberia will find no cure for its crises, now in remission because of the presence of UN troops in the country, and those troops must not be used in the furtherance of primitive practices which the UN would never approve of. Unless our people on their own or assisted by foreign friends prevent old wine from forcing itself into new bottles that are resting on the corpses of nearly three hundred thousand Liberians whose blood still cry out for justice and reconciliation, dark days still lie ahead for our country.”
