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.

Liberia’s agriculture prospect continues to receive windfall opportunities in its graph to sustain self sufficiency in food production as well as gaining food security.
To actualize genuine self sufficient and food security, the Liberia National Red Cross Society (LNRCS) has embarked on a crusade to provide and distribute several thousands worth of farm implements and seed rice to local farmers in the interior parts of the country.
The program is targeting Grand Cape Mount County particularly in Boesan Town in the Seimavula Clan of Forkpa District where scores of farmers are expected to benefit from the initiative.
According to LNRCS, the food security component scheme is intended to encourage and empowered the local farmers to engage in meaningful rice, crops and other food productions activities so that the farmers would never get food shortage in their respective localities or areas.
Speaking over the weekend at the distribution program held at Boesan in Grand Cape Mount County, the Director for Disaster Management at the Liberia National Red Cross Society, G. Ambulai Perry, said the LNRCS was able to provide the farmers with seed rice, tools like cutlasses and rain boots as a means of empowering the farmers to grow sufficient food for themselves.
Mr. Perry disclosing the gesture said the following “providing farm implements like these to farmers means a lot to the Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS) in Liberia. We all know that Liberia is one of the countries in West Africa when it comes to the issue of food security is a very big concern to us and the LNRCS” he said.
“To increase the food basket for the inhabitants in the community or locals, of course they will increase the nutritional status of individuals or even when it comes to children going to school. So it has a lot of cross cutting issues which has to do with the issue of health, the issue of education, the issue of community development and the issue of agriculture, this all tied in to it” he illustrated further.
Mr. Perry added that once the families are empowered with food, it can also help the children and they can benefit and the issue of malnutrition will reduce in the community, thus making the aspect of food security very important to the Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS).
He reiterated that as long as the Federation of International Red Cross continues to stay around, they will continue to advocate year in year for support to make sure that their intervention to farmers in Cape Mount County, Communities and other parts of Liberia go unhindered.
Receiving the farm implements on behalf of the farmers in Boesan Town, M. Musa Kromah , contact person for the Boesan town Development Agriculture Project, thanked the Liberia National Red Cross Society for the support they have shown to the farmers since they approached the LNRCS sometime ago.
Mr. Kromah in appreciation statement , said the LNRCS was very much instrumental concerned about their plight and has assisted them tremendously with those basic needs or items they requested from them to do, and would always be grateful to the LNRCS at all times.
He then called on the LNRCS who has been the donor to the farmers to continue their support and help them so that they too could continue with their farm work and make the food security process to continue to flourish.
