Louis Farrakhan Warns Obama: Beware of Deadly "White Right"
Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan is predicting trouble ahead for President Obama -- maybe even assassination -- and is continuing his attacks on Jews.
Farrakhan delivered a nearly four-hour speech to 20,000 followers Sunday at the annual Saviours' Day event in Chicago. Among many things, he said the "white right" was conspiring to make Obama a one-term president, and pointed to his stalled efforts to introduce health care legislation as proof. He said those opponents and lobbyists were trapping him into a future war with Iran that could lead to mass destruction.
He claimed, "the white right is trying to set Barack up to be assassinated."
He said Obama is surounded by too many Jews. Naming Obama advisers Timothy Geithner, Henry Paulson and Larry Summers, Farrakhan said: "Who does he have around him? The people from Goldman Sachs."
He continued, "The Zionists are in control of the Congress."
Farrakhan spent much of the fiery speech recounting a 1985 vision he had in Mexico. Farrakhan has often described how he believes he was invited aboard an unidentified flying object he calls "the wheel" where he said he heard the late Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad speak to him.
"The word 'prophet' is too cheap a word. I am a light in the midst of darkness," Farrakhan said.
He said that experience led him to inklings about future events, including impending trouble for Obama.
He also said Obama should be doing more to help his fellow black people."Your people are suffering. You can't ease their plight, but you can use your bully pulpit. Speak for the poor. Speak for the weak."
Farrakhan has been a strong supporter of Obama, even as the President distanced himself from the controversial minister for his anti-Semitic rhetoric.
Farrakhan continued his praise of Obama Sunday, and said the nation's first black president was manipulated into disavowing Farrakhan. He would not say if he and Obama had ever met on the issue.
"They all want to know did I ever meet with him and what did I say or what he say," Farrakhan said in the speech. "I ain't going there."

Elijah Muhammad (leader of the Nation of Islam until his death in 1975)
Elijah Muhammad, says blacks were "born righteous and turned to unrighteousness," while the white race was "made unrighteous by the god who made them.
Dr. Abdul Alim Muhammad, who is head of the Nation of Islam mosque in Washington, D.C., and also the NOI Minister of Health and Human Services, told a black audience in 1992 that they could find "healing" in killing white people: "When you let [your anger and anxiety] out, there's healing in that. And if in the process, some of your oppressors and slavemasters die, so what? Everybody has to die some time, don't they? So why shouldn't your slavemaster die now? They got to die anyhow!"
At this point, the congregation responded with their agreement. "If you're white today, it ain't worth living anyhow," Alim said. "Would you shoot a dog and put it out of its misery? Or a horse? Well, certainly white people is equal to dogs and horses."
Barack hires numerous Nation of Islam members as part of his campaign staff. Sen. Barack Obama employed and continues to employ senior staffers who belong to the Nation of Islam, and the presidential candidate has some "worrying" ties to the controversial group headed by Louis Farrakhan.
Of particular concern is that Obama employed at least two Nation of Islam activists in his early days as a state senator, when his office was staffed by only three or four staffers"
A key constituency for Obama was Hyde Park, where Farrakhan lives. To be successful politically in that area, you need to be involved with Farrakhan, since he's a strong power in the district. In January 1995, Qubilah Shabazz was arrested and charged with the attempted murder of Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam, in retaliation for the assassination of her father, Malcolm X in 1965. In a 60 Minutes interview that aired during May 2000, Farrakhan stated that some of the things he said may have led to the assassination of Malcolm X.
CHICAGO (AP) - In his first major public address since a cancer crisis, Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan said Sunday that presidential candidate Barack Obama is the “hope of the entire world” that the U.S. will change for the better. “This young man is the hope of the entire world that America will change and be made better,” he said. “This young man is capturing audiences of black and brown and red and yellow. If you look at Barack Obama’s audiences and look at the effect of his words, those people are being transformed.”
Farrakhan :”I want to be one of the flame-throwers of God, break white folks’ backs. I want to give you hell all the way to your graves. I ain’t scared to die and I’m ready to kill.”
Farrakhan :”You’re lucky you just got words out of me and I didn’t give you the bum’s rush and black-boot stomp the hell out of you.”
Farrakhan :”I love Colin Ferguson, who killed all those white folks on the Long Island train. God spoke to Colin Ferguson and said, ‘catch the train, Colin, catch the train.’”
Farrakhan : said this in South Africa: “I say give ‘em [whites] 24 hours to get out of town. If they don’t, kill everyone white in sight. Kill the men, kill the women, kill the children, kill the blind, kill the crippled. God damn it, kill them all.”
Farrakhan :”The Nation of Islam is consistently anti-American. This is why Mahmoud Abdul-Rouf would not stand during the National Anthem at Denver Nuggets ’ basketball games. According to him, the United States’ flag symbolized only “oppression and tyranny.”
From Sunday's 07 Sept. 2008 11:48:04 EST, Televised "Meet the Press" THE THEN Senator Obama was asked about his stance on the American Flag. General Bill Ginn' USAF (ret.) asked Barry Barak Hussen Obama to explain WHY he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played. The General stated to Obama that according to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171...During rendition of the national anthem, when the flag is displayed, all present (except those in uniform) are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Or, at the very least, "Stand and Face It". 'Senator' Obama replied: "As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides". "There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression.." "The anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all that sort of thing."
Quotes from Farrakhan : ”Everybody talks about what Hitler did to you. What did you do to Hitler?
”You wonder why I call it Jew-nited Nations…Jew York City…Jew-niversity. Because you control it.” “Black Muslims consider themselves in a perpetual “jihad” or holy war against the Satanic whiterace.” Obama hired Nation of Islam activists to work for his campaigns. Former Obama worker Shakir Muhammad is a Nation of Islam activist. Muhammad was paid by Obama's office as a photographer in the late 1990s. Muhammad reportedly worked as a bodyguard for the Nation of Islam chief, Louis Farrakhan, Early employees of Obama were Nation of Islam members, including Jennifer Mason, who still works in Obama's Chicago Senate office as director of constituency services – a key community liaison position. Also, Cynthia K. Miller, whom the former insider identified as a Nation of Islam activist, served Obama in his early state Senate days and later as treasurer for his U.S. senatorial campaign.
Pardon the pun, but that's exactly what this is a case of. Farrakhan, known for his hatred of Jews and white people, is playing the race card. Clearly, the fox has made himself the guardian of the hen house .
Who continues to listen to this joker? What a clown.
I don't know about you, but I wouldn't trust a guy who bases his political philosophy on a bad trip he had down in Mexico. That people even acknowledge this nutcase's existence is deeply troubling. I never understood the whole "rail against the Jews" bit, I mean, I know they were money -lenders in the Middle Ages because the Church didn't let Christians lend with interest, but I think we've moved a bit past that now. Anyone who seriously believes that someone is a threat solely because of their race , without any reason other than that they are white/black/Jewish/Latino/Asian,etc. is obviously a tad unbalanced. Anyone who says that the word "prophet" isn't quite good enough a word to describe themselves is obviously more than a tad unbalanced. Someone who thinks Obama's "people" are the poor and the weak is just hilarious. Obama is just another fat cat Washington elitist. The fact that he's (kinda) black does not make him poor or weak. He's the product of 60's era affirmative action , where everything was given to him in life because he's black, but not too black, and he never had to deal with criticism before because to criticize him would be racist . It's how he got to his wacky policy ideas, and why he hates Fox News so much. Nobody's ever criticized him before.
The right is conspiring to make him a one term president, not just the white right. That's what political parties do, they conspire to have the other parties voted out.
He said the same thing. He complained about not being able to get close to Obama because "all the Jews wouldn't let" him.
The plural of 'anecdote' is not 'data'.
