And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” — John 8:32
NUMBERS DON’T LIE
Executive Summary
The recent U.S. announcement extending visa validity for Liberians is, at best, a polite insult—a deceptive gesture concealing over two centuries of racial injustice. It lures Liberians to pay high visa fees only to face near-certain denial, while the U.S. Embassy in Monrovia collects millions annually from those it has already excluded.

Former enemies such as Germany and Japan now enjoy visa-free travel, while descendants of America’s own freed citizens—those exiled to Liberia by the U.S. Government—remain treated as outsiders and “undesirable aliens.” This is not diplomacy; it is institutionalized racial discrimination, rooted in the 1790 Nationality Act, America’s first apartheid law restricting citizenship to “free white persons.”
THE REALITY OF LIBERIAN “INDEPENDENCE”
Liberia has never been—and is not today—a truly independent republic. The colony was founded by the U.S. Navy on April 25 1822 under the American flag, and ruled for decades exclusively by white federal and colonial agents. When Liberia was declared “independent” on July 26 1847, it was not an act of rebellion or self-determination but a carefully orchestrated
transition executed under U.S. Navy protection and the flag of the United States, by and for a small group of African American citizens under American oversight.
From its inception Liberia functioned as a U.S. colonial outpost, not a sovereign African state. Its laws, institutions, and political systems mirrored those of the United States, reinforcing dependency on Washington.
Beginning with dictatorship by white colonial and federal agents, Liberians have for two centuries blindly worshiped slave masters and swallowed a false history that glorifies their oppressors. The nation’s geography is a living monument to white supremacy—named to honor enslavers and segregationists: President James Monroe (Monrovia), Chief Justice John Marshall (Marshall City), Associate Justice Bushrod Washington (Bushrod Island), Speaker Henry Clay (Clay-Ashland)—alongside replicas of U.S. states and towns: Maryland, Virginia, Harrisburg, New Georgia, Buchanan, Greenville, and others.
Liberia remains a de facto U.S. colony, governed by elites whose families hold U.S. passports and dual loyalties, while ordinary Liberians—the descendants of exiled American citizens—continue to live as second-class people, paying and being denied.
Historically, ten Presidents of Liberia were African American citizens born in the United States. Even in 2023, all major opposition leaders and the heads of all three branches of government held American passports.
Liberia’s electoral system entrenches elite control: candidate registration fees USD$2,500, processing fees USD$1,750, minimum bank balance USD$10,000, insurance bond USD$100,000. These barriers exclude the poor. Yet the U.S. Embassy still calls such elections “free and fair,” sustaining the same colonial hierarchy begun in 1822.

THE MORAL TRUTH
Article I of the 1824 Constitution of Liberia, drafted under U.S. supervision, declares:
“All persons born in Liberia are entitled to all the rights and privileges enjoyed by citizens of the United States of America.”
This remains valid under Miscellenous Article 1 of the 1847 Constitution and Article 95 of the 1986 Constitution of Liberia. The United States cannot evade responsibility for a colony it deliberately created.
PAGE 2 — ACTION PLAN: RESTORING JUSTICE AND DEMOCRACY
There is only one reason the U.S. Embassy continues to profit while Liberians suffer: ordinary citizens have waited too long for politicians to fight for them. Wait no longer!
Now is the time to rely on God Almighty and stand together for truth, justice, and restoration of birthright citizenship.
James 4:2 — “You have not because you ask not.”
Matthew 7:7-8 — “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.”
Phase One — Historical Foundation and December 1, 2025 Launch
Rev. Torli H. Krua, Founder of the Free Liberia Movement and Universal Human Rights International (UHRI), will launch free registration for all persons born in Liberia to join the global petition demanding recognition of U.S. Birthright Citizenship, consistent with:
- 1776 – U.S. Declaration of Independence: “All men are created equal.”
- 1780 – Massachusetts Constitution: “All men are born free and equal.”
- 1820 – Pre-Colonization Constitution of Liberia: drafted in Washington D.C. by U.S. officials without input from Africans or African Americans.
- 1821 – Treaty: signed by U.S. Navy Captain Robert Stockton, establishing “a settlement of United States citizens forever.”
- 1824 – Constitution of Liberia: written by U.S. Government officials in Washington D.C., stating that “All persons born in Liberia … shall be entitled to all rights and privileges of citizens of the United States of America.”
- 1847 & 1986 Constitutions of Liberia: reaffirming these rights (Article 95).
The 1820 and 1824 constitutions imposed a colonial structure excluding the very voices of Africans and African Americans they claimed to liberate. Rev. Torli H. Krua’s Fourth Remonstrance continues the struggle begun after Elizabeth Freeman’s 1781 victory in Massachusetts and carried forward by the December 5 1823 Remonstrance and 1830 Petition led by Joseph Shephard, both demanding full birthright U.S. citizenship for exiled American citizens of African descent.
Phase Two — Petition and Diplomatic Action
After two weeks of registration, Rev. Krua will deliver the Fourth Remonstrance and Petition to the U.S. Ambassador in Monrovia, demanding:
- Immediate suspension of visa requirements for all persons born in Liberia; and
- Formal recognition of U.S. Birthright Citizenship for all Liberians as a matter of justice, law, and reciprocity.
Phase Three — Global Solidarity and Goodwill Delegation
Rev. Krua will request gratis visas for 250 Goodwill Peace Ambassadors from across Liberia to attend the 250th Anniversary of American Independence (2026)—honoring Crispus Attucks and other African Americans who died for liberty only to see their descendants exiled.
This mission calls for confession, repentance, forgiveness, restitution, reciprocity, and reparations—a moral awakening to heal the enduring wounds of slavery and colonization.
Continuing Monthly Action
The Bill of Reciprocity and Fourth Remonstrance will be presented monthly at the U.S. Embassy in Monrovia until every Liberian enjoys equal rights and justice.
