The best paperbacks coming out in January | Saturday Review - The Times

Welcome to our December Best Of The Rest Blowout. At midnight, 2019 is dead. Lets remember it one last time before adorable Baby New Year ritualistically stabs it in the heart.

As with our previous year-end purge, this column that by no means signifies that Ive shoveled every 2019 promo into a bonfire thus officially kicking off my 5150 vacation is structured to recall the old link-farm Blogspots of yore. You remember, that shitshow of an era when youd spend four to 24 hours a day pecking through various hubs hoping to find, like, lost Starfighters B-sides? Still, simpler times! Kind of! All you had was a mess of music patiently awaiting to be rediscovered just sitting there hidden underneath layers of bad default blog design. And that was a positive? Sure, maybe in the WoW Classic nostalgia fallacy sense. Anyway, may this old-timey sensory overload and the accompanying permanent eye-bleed take you all the way back. Its a big ol Art Laboe smooch from me to you, reader. Enjoy.

First though, lets follow up on two items:

Back in January, I wrote about full-length release trends as tracked by Encyclopaedia Metallum. Heres how 2019 played out:

Number Of Albums Released Per MonthJanuary: 527February: 613March: 714April: 658May: 675June: 623July: 506August: 521September: 669October: 700November: 639December: 285(Info current as of 12/15/2019)

Including the 62 albums that havent yet been tagged with a release month, 2019 sports a total of, blastbeat please, 7,192. Thats down a smidge from 2018s all-time record of 7,860. That said, its possible that 2019 will take the crown once its entire slate is tallied. After all, 2018 had 6,899 at this time last year. Why, Marco Di Stasio added one more while you were reading this.

(And yes, to give into my comparative measurement tick, if those 7,192 albums averaged a Reign In Blood runtime of 28:59, it would take you a little over 144 days to listen to them all back-to-back. Metal: Theres a lot of it.)

The other item to report is your Black Market Readers Very Right, All The Way Correct Top 10. You posted the lists. I crunched the numbers. Heres what you preferred:

10. Idle Hands Mana (Eisenwald)9. Haunter Sacramental Death Qualia (I, Voidhanger Records)8. Baroness Gold & Grey (Abraxan Hymns)7. Murk Rider Exile Of Shadows (self-released)6. Alcest Spiritual Instinct (Nuclear Blast)5. Obsequiae The Palms Of Sorrowed Kings (20 Buck Spin)4. Mizmor Cairn (Gilead Media)3. Tomb Mold Planetary Clairvoyance (20 Buck Spin)2. Inter Arma Sulphur English (Relapse Records)1. Blood Incantation Hidden History Of The Human Race (Dark Descent Records / Century Media Records)

Aw, better luck next year, any band I wrote about. Still, pretty good! It was neat to see what everyone was into, especially all of the left fielders that were drafted. I loved it. Plus, I was able to present the Black Market Best Boy Award Of 2019 to Aaron. He blurbed five of the albums you lurved. He is your new king. Huzzah.

Okay! Enough yapping. Your column makers individual lists are below. If you dont find anything tasty, comment with what youve been searching for and maybe another reader will hit you back with the perfect album recommendation. And if you think the world whiffed on something special this year, post that too. See you soon. Ian Chainey

With a monthly top 10 countdown, were in the business of list-making, but that doesnt make these year-end round-ups any easier. Aaron and I, for one, are out of practice were freeloaders, basically, who leave all the hard work to Ian, who is wholly responsible for keeping the Black Market ship afloat. Ian brings order to the chaos, guiding us as we narrow a monthly pool of hundreds of new tracks into something that is arguably digestible. Ian also lets us tack our blurbs after his thoughtful, elegant essays like a couple of beat up Sea-Doos getting towed behind a Rolls Royce. If youre a fan of the column, Ians the one to thank along with Doug Moore and Michael Nelson.

I began writing about metal in earnest near the beginning of the decade at the metal blog Invisible Oranges, earning my fair share of bruises (many self-induced from facepalms) early and often. I had the privilege of working with both Ian and Aaron there, both of whom came in as editors-in-chief and both of whom I managed to delude into letting me stick around and write about weird (and in my defense, catchy) black metal, among other things. Doug Moore and Michael Nelson were my EICs there, too, and Ive learned more from them about music, writing, you name it than I realize. Michael is responsible for concocting the idea of the Black Market from scratch and assembling this motley crew way back in 2012. He also gave most of us the chance to write at Invisible Oranges. Im thankful to him for the opportunities he extended and what he made possible, and Im thankful to everyone else here for a variety of reasons. Putting this list together as the year, and the 2010s, wind down has brought these thoughts, and their kind, to mind.

As for the music below, this was quietly one of the best years for metal of the entire decade that, looking back on it, offered an embarrassment of riches. If we see a 2020 like 2019 and a decade like the 2010s in the 2020s metal has a bright future indeed.

20. Yellow Eyes Rare Field Ceiling (Gilead Media)Noisy, dissonant black metal that barely shrouds the intricacies beneath. Regal decay.

19. Obsequiae The Palms Of Sorrowed Kings (20 Buck Spin)Medieval wall tapestry metal at its finest. Perfect for touring ruined castles, general roleplaying, as well as rocking out.

18. Ellende Lebensnehmer (Art Of Propaganda)Gorgeous, sorrowful mid-tempo atmospheric black metal. Capable of both inducing nostalgic contemplation as well as instilling vigorous hope.

17. Vukari Aevum (Vendetta Records)Massive world-tearing atmospheric black metal. Riffs both leap like flames and come crashing down with immeasurable force.

16. Varaha A Passage For Lost Years (Prosthetic Records)Pensive, tender metal from Chicago loaded with big mournful riffs that turn hopeful at just the right times. A beautiful album that comes highly recommended from both myself and Michael Nelson.

15. Haunter Sacramental Death Qualia (I, Voidhanger Records)Wild twisted death metal that manages to bend time and space and incorporate acoustic passages that quell the tumbling chaos into eerie dreamscapes. A really incredible album the whole Black Market crew agreed upon.

14. Monarque Jusqu la Mort (Sepulchral Productions)Icy, incredibly catchy metal from one of Qubecs finest and longest running black metal acts. Majestic music that captures both the timeless wonder and unforgiving nature of life in the frigid north.

13. Astronoid Astronoid (Blood Music)Buoyant atmospheric metal that blasts above the clouds and soaks up the suns dazzling rays. Bright and hopeful, a friendly hand that will pull you out of the darkness or otherwise amplify a beautiful day.

12. Aara So fallen alle Tempel (Naturmacht Productions)Haunted castle atmospheric banshee metal loaded with both regal and monastic flourishes that echo across colonnaded courtyards. The title track is one of the best songs of the year, in this newly-invented genre or any other.

11. MURG Strvan (Nordvis Produktion)Stomping, wrathful black metal with huge atmosphere from one of Swedens finest practitioners. The music of sneering tyrants.

10. Violet Cold Kosmik (self-released)Light speed atmospheric black metal from the artist in Azerbaijan who channels cosmic rays into a kaleidoscope of glorious melody. The end of the title track, Kosmik, is one of the best moments in metal of the decade.

9. Alcest Spiritual Instinct (Nuclear Blast)Blue-hued ethereal wonder that, as in the bands earlier years, packs an exquisite, energizing punch. Alcests best since the door-opening all-time classic cailles de Lune.

8. Arch / Matheos Winter Ethereal (Metal Blade Records)Heavy metal heroes martialing all the powers of the genre unreal tones, riffs, and imagery to create magic. The essence of heavy metal, eternal in its ability to spark imaginations and quicken pulses.

7. Serpent Column Mirror In Darkness (Mystskaos)Artfully corralled chaos that is as thrilling a listen as anything released this year. The aural equivalent of being dropped into a blender along with an assortment of metal objects.

6. Imperium Dekadenz When We Are Forgotten (Napalm Records)A colossus of an album, anthems hewn from mountains that are built to last aeons. Huge atmospheric black metal from one of the most underrated bands in the genre.

5. Malist In The Catacombs Of Time (Northern Silence Productions)Ice cold, cobweb-covered black metal from the crypts. Something undead has little business being so catchy.

4. Mystagogue And The Darkness Was Cast Out Into The Wilderness (Vendetta Records)Turbocharged atmosphere-rich black metal powered by some of the catchiest melancholic riffs out there. From musicians behind Laster and Gnaw Their Tongues, Mystagogue both soars and writhes in the mud.

3. Sadness Circle Of Veins (self-released)Immersive, meditative, and enchanting atmospheric black metal that conjures ghosts of memories both real and imagined. Utterly unique vocals that come from across the threshold of a dream.

2. Remete Into Endless Night (Cold Ways Music)The most majestic and heroic atmospheric black metal album in a year when atmospheric black metal aimed so very high. Grand, gorgeous melodies that transcend time alongside desperate throaty rasps that bleed with sincerity. One for the ages past, present, and future.

1. Idle Hands Mana (Eisenwald)Stylish, perfectly-crafted night-time rippers with a deadpan baritone that assumes a place alongside goth rock legends living and lost. An album about both love and loss and ravenous hunger that defines whatever season is underway when you chance upon it. Wyatt Marshall

20. Blasphematory Depths Of The Obscurity (Nihil Verum Nisi Mors)Of Joe Aversarios 13 active bands on Metal Archives including Death Fortress, Massive Retaliation, and Siege Column his latest might be the sickest. Max stupidity = total putridity.

19. Cerebral Rot Odious Descent Into Decay (20 Buck Spin)Like our politics in 2019, Cerebral Rot revels in the stench of decay. A corpse flower in hideous bloom, featuring uncommonly disgusting riffs and the swampiest of swamp-ass tones.

18. Krypts Cadaver Circulation (Dark Descent Records)Perhaps the darkest record of the year. A lightless cave filled with shattered bones, dripping water, and an endless sense of weight. Oppressive and majestic.

17. Capilla Ardiente The Siege (High Roller Records)Glory unto thee, deathless kings of doom. The air is thick with pungent smoke (you tell me whats burning), and the riffs flow like half-clotted blood: This is The Siege.

16. Teitanblood The Baneful Choir (Norma Evangelium Diaboli)A thousand shades of red. A blast furnace set to incinerate the world. Nothing left but a sea of blood and fire, echoes of kill riffs amid fading screams butt punishment for all eternity.

15. Blut aus Nord Hallucinogen (Debemur Morti Productions)Fine. FINE. Its not quite the shroomlord vision quest we were promised, but more of a natural successor to the Memoria Vestuta records, which means it rules, and I was a bit hasty in writing it off. A worthy entry in the worthiest of catalogs.

14. Skphe + Wormlust Kosmskur hryllingur (Mystskaos)Two weird tastes come together like a mouthful of vinegar and battery acid screeching black metal with a dollop of dimensional distension. Like a Molotov cocktail for the mind.

13. Tomb Mold Planetary Clairvoyance (20 Buck Spin)What feeds on tomb detritus? Mold, apparently. And what feeds on tomb mold? POTATOES. On their third album, these spuds are especially virulent, chugging across space and time to become the most tubular of tubers, and with them come riffs of infinite sickness.

12. Tanith In Another Time (Metal Blade Records)From the mists of memory comes mighty Tanith, blazing like a meteor made of a thousand harmonized leads. Quite possibly the best of the modern trad metal bands, Ive been in love with this band since their debut 7, and the full-length lives up to the legend.

11. Slow VI Dantalion (Code666)This year went from a doomless desert to an ocean of endless doom in the last few months, in no small part due to the immensely suffocating and satisfying crush of Dantalion.

10. Alcest Spiritual Instinct (Nuclear Blast Records)Picking up where Kodama left off, Alcest made perhaps the second-best shoegaze record this year (after DIIVs impossibly good and surprisingly heavy Deceiver), but unquestionably the best metalgaze album of the year, possibly their best yet.

9. No One Knows What The Dead Think No One Knows What The Dead Think (Willowtip Records)In terms of excellence, two thirds of Discordance Axis works out to about 90 percent more than any other living grind band is capable of. I suspect this was a one-off, but itll be a shame if this is the last we hear from Jon Chang and Rob Marton.

8. Profetus The Sadness Of Time Passing (Avantgarde Music)Yet another phenomenally sick funeral doom record that landed in our collective lap late in the year. Church organs and megalithic riffs collide to form the saddest thing youll ever subject yourself to willingly, repeatedly, endlessly. Funeral doom the Finnish way.

7. Dysrhythmia Terminal Threshold (Translation Loss Records)Technical skronk gods delve (or devolve, perhaps) into technical thrash, trotting out Watchtower riffs and Coroner rhythms alongside the usual instrumental zaniness, and the results are somehow so much stronger for their total lack of vocals. More proof that weirdness = strength in 2019.

6. Esoctrilihum The Telluric Ashes Of The O Vrth Immemorial Gods (I, Voidhanger Records)Eclectic and utterly unclassifiable, Esoctrilihum are the epitome of something, but Ill be damned if I know what. Its like This Heat crossbred with Leviathan, before being set on fire and dipped in a vat of molten Sour Patch Kids. Entropic punishment for an undeserving world.

5. Arch / Matheos Winter Ethereal (Metal Blade Records)Theyve got no business being this good. Old-man bands are supposed to cater to the lowest denominator of fan, trading on nostalgia and name recognition to deliver unpalatable turds that only satisfy at the shallowest possible level. Instead we get endless depths of invention, a band firing on all cylinders, and an uncanny batch of songs that somehow transcends its old-man origins. Progressive in the best sense.

4. Haunter Sacramental Death Qualia (I, Voidhanger Records)Ah, our unheralded, unexpected AOTY. How this became a consensus favorite, Ill never know, but here we are. Like Esoctrilihum, Skphe + Wormlust, and Dysrhythmia, this thing drips weirdness like a syphilitic appendage left untreated.

3. Blood Incantation Hidden History of the Human Race (Dark Descent Records)Despite the hype, Hidden History is the real thing. Vicious death, searing psychedelia, longform songs, and neck-snapping riffs combine for one of the best and most satisfying death metal albums in years. The fact that its reaching a wide audience even beyond the sea of salivating spuds in longsleeves (like me) is a testament to its sickness.

2. Esoteric A Pyrrhic Existence (Season Of Mist)A late blooming nightmare of an album spread across two discs, as usual for Esoteric. Where their stateside peers Evoken overreached and faltered on their last album, Esoteric grabbed the dying torch and set the walls on fire. This is everything I love about funeral doom, and nothing I dont.

1. A Pregnant Light Broken Play (Colloquial Sound Recordings)What to say about this that hasnt already been said? Its as close to perfect as anything I heard this year, a straight-up ripper loaded with hooks and heart, with a soft spot only eclipsed by its unexpected mean streak. Its the kind of record you play for yourself on repeat for weeks, an object of quiet obsession, until you realize its too good to be kept under wraps and you need to force these songs on unsuspecting ears, so you make your friends listen, and they walk away just as torn up and dumbstruck as you. Its that kind of record. The kind you look for but rarely find. The kind that gets you through some shit, that gives enough of itself to keep me doing this even when logic and my feeble sense of self-preservation screams out that its time to stop. Its good enough to give meaning to the game, to make all the rest of it worth something more, to bring about change. What else is there to say? Aaron Lariviere

Just a reminder that, as a listener, I see no reasonable distinction between release types this century. Let singles stand with albums. I am a monster. Maximum output, maximum chaos.

20. Sulfuric Cautery Chainsaws Clogged With The Underdeveloped Brain Matter Of Xenophobes (Goatgrind Records)Yeah, thats a title. You will not evade me, LDOH worshiper. A little punkier, but still a gooey splatter platter.

19. Meathook Crypts, Coffins, Corpses (Unmatched Brutality Records)Solid year for BDM. I hung around with Meathook for the full 365. Vox is a graduate from Steve Austins Technical Night School of A Lot.

18. Funereal Presence Achatius (Sepulchral Voice Records)Wherein Funereal Presence uncovers a haunted spell scroll. Casts WEIRDNESS. Rolls a nat 20.

17. Pharmakeia Pharmakeia (Amor Fati Productions)Probably the noisiest of the Prava Kollektiv crew. Shit-your-pants black metal squall. Appropriate BH album art.

16. Saqras Cult The 9th King (Amor Fati Productions)Lone rule for black metal: Riffs must compel me to make a claw hand at passing motorists. Box checked.

15. Darkthrone Old Star (Peaceville Records)I will follow Darkthrone anywhere. Fenriz and Ted have earned it. The riff is still strong here. Tell me which bridge to jump off of.

14. Esoteric A Pyrrhic Existence (Season of Mist)I miss the old heft, the rando death metal tracks. Still, a lovely downer. For connoisseurs of sadness.

13. Source Spelling Swords (High Roller Records)Catchier than a communicable disease in an anti-vaxxer carpool. Embedded forevermore in my dumb head.

12. Andavald Undir skyggoarhaldi (Mystskaos)Kind of one note, but its a thrillingly dolorous note. Works because it keeps moving. Like if DSBM went to motorik driving school.

11. Child Abuse Imaginary Enemy (SKiN GRAFT Records)A deep, immersive listen that will evaporate your friendship with any normo who hears it. Damaged in the best ways.

10. fluoride disentanglement (React With Protest / Nerve Altar)As pissed as I was on the inside all year. Cathartic. Made mean faces at a lot of clouds to this.

9. Lurid Panacea The Insidious Poisons (P2)Is it grind? Is it brutal death metal? Oh, its over? That was quick.

8. Wormed Metaportal (Season Of Mist)I mean, its Wormed.

7. Psudoku / Parlamentarisk Sodomi Report From The 10th Dimension (Selfmadegod Records)Dude just gets me. Steinar plays with himself on another gonzo ripper. Nuttiest Psudoku has ever been. The crusty grind side is good, too.

6. No One Knows What The Dead Think No One Knows What The Dead Think (Willowtip Records)Martons riffs raised me. Felt right hearing them again.

5. Serpent Column Mirror In Darkness (Mystskaos)Death by a million riffs. Sounds like a four-lane pileup.

4. Haunter Sacramental Death Qualia (I, Voidhanger Records)Oh hey, its the Opeth album people have wanted since Deliverance. So stoked to see where this band goes next.

3. Arch / Matheos Winter Ethereal (Metal Blade Records)Dad metal to the extreme. No-scoped me right in the feels every time, though.

2. Dysrhythmia Terminal Threshold (Translation Loss Records)Sneaks up on you. Yeah, this is good, you think. Weeks later, still on repeat. Heady. The album to play if you want to ace your math final.

1. Jute Gyte Birefringence (self-released)Nothing twisted up my brain meat more. Dude has made some gems, but this is something else. A feast of dissonance.

Alright, award time. These stupid things now have a deep history that rivals baseballs. Also, like baseball, no one cares.

OUT OF STEPAwarded to my favorite punk record that couldve conceivably made the column. Fight me at a show

Protocol Bloodsport (Dynastic Yellow Star Label / 11 PM Records)Absolutely ruthless hardcore that flexes fiercely while sneaking in a devastating lyrical payload.

SLAMZ, DA DA DAAwarded to my favorite degenerate goo record that I didnt force upon you this year, youre welcome

Despondency Excruciating Metamorphosis (Permeated Records)Ten-year layoff. Took two tracks to prove that Despondency has still got it. Gods acid flashbacks.

KAIRON; IRSE! AWARDAwarded to my favorite metal-adjacent rock album that I couldnt shoehorn into the column this year, my bad

Helium Horse Fly Hollowed (Dipole Experiment Records)I actually done did a good because this one made the column. Worth highlighting again. Nightmare prog that tick-tick-ticks unnervingly.

SPUDAwarded to the quality death metal record that I failed to put into the column this year, my bad

Kataplexia The Rise Of The Unknown (Rotten Music / Guttural Brutality Productions / Brutal Mind)Stretching the spud definition here. Think Dying Fetus, but far more reliable. Just bangs, dont overthink it.

DOOM OR BE DOOMEDAwarded to the doom album I loved that I whiffed on this year, my bad

Disrotted Cryogenics (Nerve Altar)If I cant cram Coltsblood and Hell into a make-ur-own-split, this is the one. An exercise in sound maximalism. Destroyed my clock radio.

GAINZZZAwarded to the best workout album

Pool Pool (Skeletal Lightning)Twinkle-shred band does an April Fools goof and turns in the beatdown single of the year.

THATS, LIKE, WORK AND STUFFAwarded to the band least interested in promoting its good album

Abort Mastication Dogmas (Obliteration Records)Im still not even sure where to buy this Stateside, thus my terminal FOMO tells me this must be the best album ever.

SON OF AAwarded to the best non-Death Fortress album that I found in 2019 that wasnt released this year

Voice Coils Heavens Sense (Shatter Your Leaves)Did you know that indie darling Mitski previously sang on a dark, labyrinthine prog record? Now you do.

ILL HOLD YOUR BEERAwarded to the biggest swing for the fences

!T.O.O.H.! Komou (self-released)Still a band! An odd little NSFW EP, but the guitars sound like guitars again. Your move, Duobetic Homunkulus.

SHOWER BEERAwarded to the best album to throw on during the weekend

Smoulder Times of Obscene Evil (Cruz del Sur Music)Singalong AOTY. Wouldve made the regular list in most years.

Aight. If you read this far, note: Weeping Sores wouldve made the top five pretty easily. Alas, I know the guy. To that end, if youre curious about all of the stuff I thought was good, you can peep that list here. It runs about 120 releases. Have fun.

And thats a wrap. Shout out to all the peeps who make this possible. Shout out to the readers who have turned this little patch of blog into an oasis. If youre new to metal, let me roll some logs and point you towards some other junk I wrote this year about Obituary, Napalm Death, and Deicide. I cant wait to show you more music you wont like next year. Ian Chainey

The Black Market: The Year In Metal 2019 - Stereogum

Private space flight pioneer Elon Musk shared a video Friday of the tangible progress being made on SpaceX's newest craft, the Starship.

"Was up all night with SpaceX team working on Starship tank dome production (most difficult part of primary structure)," Musk tweeted. "Dawn arrives...."

"Still going," Musk can be heard to say as the video shows workers putting together the shiny dome at the construction site in Boca Chica, Texas. SpaceX is also building spacecraft in Cocoa, Florida.

Progress is being made on the Starship despite recent setbacks, such as the top of the Starship exploding during a November cryogenics test in Texas. Fire also destroyed a welding shed in Cocoa in July, although SpaceX claims neither accident delayed its production schedule.

"Starship will be the world's most powerful launch vehicle ever developed, with the ability to carry in excess of 100 metric tonnes to Earth orbit," according to the SpaceX website. "Drawing on an extensive history of launch vehicle and engine development programs, SpaceX has been rapidly iterating on the design of Starship with orbital-flight targeted for 2020."

"Part of [SpaceX's] appeal and success has been in not having a big standing army like we're used to with government programs. They're lean, they're agile, they work their people very hard." Space Florida executive Dale Ketcham told WOFL. "And they actually do stuff. They don't talk about [how] they're going to build stuff in five years. They start building."

"They clearly over the last decade have been the most disruptive force in space flight for a generation, if not ever," Ketcham added.

SpaceX was founded in 2002 with the stated purpose of enabling "humans to become a spacefaring civilization and a multi-planet species by building a self-sustaining city on Mars."

Since then the company has made tremendous strides in the field of reusable rockets, landing three of its Falcon Heavy booster rockets back on earth in one piece after its first commercial launch in April 2019. SpaceX has also placed 60 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit, designed to provide worldwide internet service.

During its maiden voyage, the Falcon Heavy delivered a payload consisting of a red Tesla Roadster with a spacesuit-clad dummy named Starman behind the wheel.

SpaceX founder Musk was also the co-founder of PayPal and the mapping service Zip2. He is also the co-founder and CEO of the electric products manufacturing company Tesla.

Tesla recently unveiled its Cybertruck, an electric pickup fitted with "armor glass" designed to resist breakage. However, during a live-streamed demonstration, lead designer Franz von Holzhausen was able to fracture both the driver's side and rear passenger side windows by throwing a steel ball.

"[The ball] didn't go through," Musk said. "Ah, not bad. A little room for improvement."

Elon Musk Shares Video Of Starship Tank Dome Progress After Pulling All Nighter With SpaceX Team - Newsweek

Men make their own history, but they do not make it just as they please; they do not make it under circumstances chosen by themselves, but under circumstances directly encountered from the past. The tradition of all the dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brain of the living (Max, 1852/1970:15).

If we must understand the possible future direction of the society and make it under circumstances directly encountered from the past as said by Marx, we must therefore attune to dig deeper into the current trends of nature. With this, and digging deeper into the past and microscoping the current trend of Liberia, once can safely conclude that George Weah and his cabal of state looters are product of historical accident.

Noting to argue. The ascendancy of the current regime is an historical accidental packaged and imposed on the people by their class oppressors. Of course, that element is Madam Ellen Johnson Sireleaf. The Sirleafs then used the anger of the people and bought their ignorance of governance to further protect she and her cryonics. It then became a necessity to the people to throw Liberia to the dogs. As it stands, we cant locate the flash neither the bones of the States.

It is now palpable that the current intense human suffering and the crumbled economic structures coupled with an unworkable policy of the Weahs government is nothing for him to worry on. He sees them as irrelevant and trivial to issues for us it is not a surprise; we saw him long ago as a carpenter captaining a cargo ship over a deep sea. In the midst harden poverty, this President took the airwave only to tell the people how he and some politicians eat at one another house a total display of immense leadership tragedy.

Nearly two years as President of the State, he further exposed his least understanding of complicated governance issues especially in a troubling economic and political time like ours. This President, who has only spoken to the People through a prerecorded and edited audio since his ascendency to the highest seat of the motherland, took the airwave on Friday, December 20, 2019 and spewed out compiled gibberish to an unimaginable zenith. The interview was nothing but a serious national embarrassment with an irreplaceable damage to the image of State. It further validates our consistent argument that President Weah swims in idea and leadership insolvency We still doubt that this bankruptcy is even repairable.

With this, go with us as we dig into Mr. Weahs interview. Comrades, people are laid off, wages has being unreasonably reduced and persistently delayed , inflation is an all-time high of 31.30 percent as of August 2019, and the citizens are struggling to cope with prices of commodities as they keep sky-rocketing with all of these, the President seems not be in control. To him the economy pitfall is a nature force; the crises are therefore normal as stated by him during his interview.

Such statement that the current crisis of the state is normal sounds hysterical and irreverent to mass of the struggling people who has been relegated further to the dungeon of unrecoverable poverty by Mr. George Weah and his gang of incompetent bigots. Mr. Weah need to know that no crises in human history are normal. All crises are initiated by enforcing contradictions and other imposing conditions that act on the existing condition. Therefore, the prevailing economic condition of the state is not normal. It is a condition melted on our people by you and your predecessor. It has become complicated due to the inability of your Administration to find a genuine solution we therefore reject your claim that the current situation of the State is normal.

In a country where the leaders lives with deceptions, it signifies dancing on a rope over a deadly valley. President Weah is that character; He is dangling in blatant falsehood and diabolical deceptions. He has chosen to run the nation as gangster paradise. He befriends corruption with smile and openly frowns on transparency. He parades with lies and Pompousness while milking the sucking the resources of the State an outcome of chosen an inexperienced carpenter to captain a cargo ship over a deep sea. Indeed, the result will be nothing but a disaster.

Mr. President, you are noted for poor proper recollection of the past. We can therefore not get tire reminding you. On January 22, 2018 delivering your first Legislature agenda to the 54th Legislature in the Joint Chambers of the Capitol, you asserted that the countrys economy is broken and by extension the government. On the contrary, your predecessor Madam Sirleaf debunked you on February 13, 2018 that the National Coffers are not empty. With this response, your government is yet to respond to Madam Sirleaf neither have you commissioned a comprehensive audit of her regime.

Another lie pulled out shamelessly by the president is the circumstances surrounding the missing sixteen billion Liberia Dollars and the twenty-five millions United States Dollars misapplied by him and Samuel Tweh. He stated in his interview that the L$16billion came in the country but not under his administration. Here again, we see the President as messenger of lies abusing the patience of the People. How can President Weah tell the public that his administration never received 16 billion when said funds was taken from the Freeport of Monrovia on March 2, 2018? Is this not him who was inaugurated on January 22, 2018 as the President of Liberia? Of course, it is Mr. Weah. Again, we hold Weah and his gang of looters solely responsible for our missing billions. He is the chief culprit, noting cant convince us that President Weaah and the CDC are innocent of our missing billion not even an adapted report that was intended to seizure him from public persecution.

The Presidents interview was just outrageous as the existing contradictions under his Administration. The President sat on the radio and rang praises on a Samuel Tweh, the man who looted US$ 25 million. And this President wants us to believe that the current economic crisis is normal. No, it is not. How can you choose to protect a certified thief who manages the fiscal affairs of the State and wants the citizens to believe that the current economic crisis is normal this is a total mockery!

The President claims that people dont have confidence in the banks. You want the people to trust a system that does not meet up with their demand. In the midst of an unbearable hardship, you create an artificial shortage of money to make the citizens feel that there is true shortage of Liberian dollars. The Banks are holding on to the people money they are losing their friends and relative to death, starvation is eating up people, their kids are thrown out of school, they cant respond to their daily economic demand and you want them to trust this system that does not work for the poor. Mr. President, it is now time that you transition from comicality to puffer a matured statesmanship. Governing a State like Liberia is not the same as pushing a round object for ninety minutes.

When the country has an excessively corrupt and dysfunctional system, the president becomes the chief priest of lies and messenger of hate President Weah is indeed a chief priest of falsehood, his tongue dances better than his legs. On his recent interview, he said his government does not support war and economy crime court. On the contrary, this same president wrote the National Legislature on September 12, 2019 asking them to provide guidance on all Legislative and other necessary measures towards the implementation of the Truth & Reconciliation (TRC) report, including the establishment of the War and Economic Crimes Court. This same president repeated his call for war and economic crimes courts when he addressed world leaders at the UN General Assembly in September of this year. Again, we can say his recent rejection to bring the perpetrators of crime against humanity to justice by establishing the War and Economic Crime Courts proves that Mr. Weah does act on facts but instant and emotion that dictate to his current position thee impact of his decision is never a concern to him.

Comrades, Mr. Weah and the CDC have plundered the state into mess. He cant escape his indictment in the court of public persecution. He must account; the time is not what matters. The present condition will inform the next move of the people. It is a fact, Mr. Weah is a very simple footballing president; he does not understand the nuances of complicated governance issue. His responses to critical questions as seen in his last interview is a total shame. The government is a mixture of incompetent and loosed talking bureaucrats. The appointed officials of the government are impressionists who serve not to improve the material condition of the people but to facilitate mass looting of state resources. Indeed, Liberia has fallen The Economy is crumbling, the health system is in ruins, the working class labor daily but cant get their poverty wages sadly, we have a president that is yet to wake up from his slumber.

During his interview, Mr. Weah elected to praise his predecessor, Madam Sirleaf. The Political thief who robbed the Liberian people of their votes to give him power. A Sirleaf who along with her clique of thieves looted and bankrupted the National Oil Company of Liberia (NOCAL) and other states resources. A Sirleaf that embraced nepotism and cronyism with no regard to the rule of law; A Sirleaf that embraced corruption as her working tool you praise this Sirleaf but criticize her Party. It baffles us to query the difference between Madam Sirleaf and the Unity Party!

The belief that Weah and his gang of thieves will deliver Liberians from gloomy poverty to prosperity is an illusion that only makes sense to his zealots who have dug themselves in the mud blind sycophancy. Mr. Weah is a fair product of fraud and political conspiracy. He lacks what it takes to understand the nuances of a complicated governance issue especially in a troubling time like this. By all means, what Mr. Weah spewed out on December 20, 2019 during his purported live radio interview did not in any way surprise us. We long predicted Mr. Weah. Our call to the masses is to remain resilient and battle the excess mess created by Madam Sirleaf and complicated by his imposed. The masses are the makers of history. At the point of objective condition, they will liberate themselves through the guidance of conscious patriots.
