In what appears to be an attempt to undermine the peace and stability of the state has become public knowledge with the indiscriminate display of placards in the streets of Monrovia.
Some of the placards which depict various inscriptions allegedly linked District #6 Representative Edwin M. Snowe to a coup plot.
According to our reporter who visited several parts of Monrovia, said the placards can be seen in almost every part of Monrovia.
Some of the posters alleged that Representative Snowe, with the help of some Liberians and Burkinabe soldiers, are planning to stage a coup.
One of the placards read: "Mr. Snowe and other have started going to Burkina Faso to bring trouble in the oil sector..."
Several persons who spoke to this paper yesterday, condemned those behind the placards and called on government to ensure that unscrupulous individuals are arrested and brought to justice.
Richard Kennedy, a student of the University of Liberia condemned the act and said it is unfair to the people of Liberia.
Siatta Folley believes that government must arrest and prosecute unscrupulous individuals putting placards in the streets of Monrovia to serve as a deterrent.
Since the appearance of the placards in the streets of Monrovia about two weeks ago, the Liberian government has remained mute.
The publication of the posters followed allegation by a civil society group, Movement for the Defense of the Down Trodden that a member of the Legislature has met with a retired army general in Burkina Faso with the aim of destabilizing Liberia.
The group failed to adduce evidence, but indicated that it briefed security authorities about the development.

WHEN ARE WE GOING TO LEARN TO STOP SAYING THINGS AND SPREADING RUMORS THAT WILL CONTINUE TO BRING LIBERIA TO SQUARE ONE? HAVE WE NOT LEARNT OUR LESSONS ENOUGH? SPREADING SUCH RUMORS WILL SCARE INVESTORS, SLOW DOWN INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT, AND KEEP LIBERIA DOWN. AND WHO'S FAULT WILL THAT BE? OURSELVES. INSTEAD OF GOING AROUND IN THESE SELF-DESTROYING CYCLES OF SELF-CREATED MISERY WHY NOT THINK ABOUT AND SAY POSITIVE THINGS TO BRING SOME LIFE TO THIS STRUGGLING COUNTRY? WHEN WILL WE HEAR ABOUT A PLOT TO BUILD SOLID ROADS BY INVITING REPUTABLE CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES FROM EUROPE, THE USA, ASIA, OR OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD TO BUILD US SOME MUCH NEEDED HIGHWAYS THAT WILL REALLY BOOST THE ECONOMY AND PRODUCE SOME LIBERIAN MILLIONAIRES? WHEN WILL WE HEAR ABOUT A PLOT TO STOP CORRUPTION, TO STOP THE RECYCLING OF THE GAINS THAT WE HAVE MADE FROM OUR NATURAL RESOURCES AND INTERNATIONAL GOODWILL BACK TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES TO ENRICH THEIR ECONOMIES WHILE OUR PEOPLE CONTINUE TO WALLOW IN POVERTY? WHEN WILL WE HEAR ABOUT A PLOT TO CREATE STATE FARMS IN EACH COUNTY TO CREATE JOBS FOR THE YOUTH AND HELP LIBERIA BECOME SELF RELIANT IN FOOD PRODUCTION? WHEN WILL WE HEAR ABOUT A PLOT TO SEND OUR YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN TO OTHER WEST AFRICAN COUNTRIES TO ACQUIRE MUCH NEEDED AGRICULTURAL EXPERTISE THAT COULD HELP DEVELOP THE MUCH NEEDED MANPOWER FOR THE AGRICULTURE SECTOR? AS AFRICA'S OLDEST REPUBLIC, WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD THE BRAIN BUT WE HAVE ALWAYS REFUSED TO USE FOR POSITIVE PURPOSES; AND THAT IS WHY WE CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE. WE ARE TOO SELF-DESTRUCTIVE. IT IS ABOUT TIME THAT WE SNAP OUT OF THE NARROW-MINDEDNESS OF COUP D' ETATS AND OTHER UNPRODUCTIVE PURSUITS AND CONCENTRATE OUR EFFORTS IN MAKING OUR COUNTRY SHINE LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE. AND YOU JOURNALISTS SHOULD STOP PUTTING OUT THESE UNPROFITABLE NEWS HEADLINES. IT WILL ONLY HOLD US DOWN.
Madam President, is this the best you and your administration can do? This govt is a joke! What a big Joke!
