Liberian Legislature, and the Liberian Executive Mansion, the 3 big parties that keep sustaining Liberia, to now put some halt to your efforts, and instead please listen to our Plain Truth Revolution, which is humbly asking you to break the mold in demonstrating your love for this country, if you truly love the people of this country more than their natural and other material resources. We are also politely asking the UN to help us in this process of calling on you to listen to our Revolution. History bears us witness that for this stubborn refusal to put first things first, like for example, to change our country’s name to something that reflects all of our common interest; to change our country’s flag to something that will, for example, show all of our counties or ethnic groups, instead of one whose stripes represent only 11 AmericoLiberians; to change to our motto, holidays, Declaration of Independence, Constitution etc., ALL of which relate to JUSTICE, including other key bloody issues that we continue to sweep under the carpet, while bringing only STUPID POLITICS to the front burner, this funny, divisive name, “Liberia”, from the very year of its foundation, that is, 1822 to date, 2017, according to careful statistics and accounting, has tasted over 18 recorded bloody crises (including 13 full scale ‘Uncivil’ wars, some of which lasted for 8 consecutive years; four (4) recorded coup d’états, and one major national riot) – all of which cumulatively have taken away over 30 years of what could have been this country’s productive time.

During 1990 to 2003 alone, this stupid name called Liberia shocked the world when just to conclude a domestic (‘Uncivil’) War, the last thus far, of its 13 full-scale “Uncivil Wars”, Liberian so-called political leaders sat in 21 different internationally organized peace accords/conferences (each of which cost Millions of United Stated Dollars) of other country’s tax payers’ money, just fussing over how to share ministries and government agencies based on their perceptions of which of these institutions generated the most revenue. In the same token, just in 27 years (i.e. 1989-2016, according to our own carefully conducted research and tally, over Forty-five billion United States Dollars (US$ 45 billion) have been lost both directly and indirectly to the effects of war, or both
