In scripture, the Prophets and Messengers of Allah (God) were questioned, judged and attempts were made on their lives. Yet, for all the opposition they faced, these men held on to the rope of Allah (God).

Their faith and resolve enabled them to withstand the arrows (slander, gossip, lies) shot at them. They were mocked and ridiculed for the message they brought from Allah (God) to the people. Yet, they did not bend, bow, or buckle.

The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the Eternal Leader of the Nation of Islam, and His National Representative, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, have walked and are walking a similar path.

For nearly 100 years, the Nation of Islam has withstood attacks from the highest levels of the U.S. government, media, other organizations and other so-called leaders. Yet, by Allah’s Grace and Mercy, despite their machinations, we are still standing!

For decades, the corporate mainstream media machine has been non-stop in its attacks against the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, Minister Farrakhan and the Nation. So-called critics have gotten on television, radio or have utilized newspapers or magazines to spout their misguided and shallow opinions on these Divine Men, their history and Mission.

Most people would more than likely crumble under the pressure of being bombarded with constant attacks year after year. But not Elijah and Farrakhan! Why is that?

When Minister Farrakhan was asked about how he and his teacher handled opposition, he answered without hesitation. In an interview he gave to Brother Askia Muhammad, the late Editor-in-Chief and senior editor of The Final Call and former Editor of Muhammad Speaks, published in Vol. 23, No. 5, November 4, 2003, of The Final Call, he asked Minister Farrakhan the following question:

“There has been very little publicity overall about the Nation of Islam. Is that because the Nation is not doing anything worth mentioning in the public or because of some other motive to ignore the works of the Nation and separate the Nation from you?”

Minister Farrakhan responded, “The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said no matter how much they attacked him and the Nation of Islam under his leadership, they only helped the Nation to grow.

So, the more they attacked me and the more I withstood that onslaught, the more thousands of people came out to, at least, hear a man that was being so vilified in the media.

When they recognized that they were not hurting but helping me, they decided they wouldn’t say anything except to continue to discredit. So, there is a conscious effort not to publicize anything that the Nation is doing of value.”

Minister Farrakhan continued, “But we are not a creature of the media, so we are not depending on the media publicizing us to make us successful. The media can if they will, and they don’t have to if they don’t wish to.

Our work is the work of resurrection and reform of our people and we will continue that work, in the light of the media or out of the light of the media. Our success depends on us, our unity, and our willingness to submit to the will of Allah (God).”

That was 23 years ago. Today, with the growing use of social media, people use their platforms to push and promote their views. The pursuit of validation through “clicks,” “likes,” “shares,” and the accumulation of “followers” has become a validation for folks.

Some so-called “influencers” are picking up where corporate mainstream media hacks and critics left off, and “keyboard critics” and “online trolls” are spewing the same tired rhetoric online against the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, and the Nation of Islam.

What Minister Farrakhan said in 2003 applies today. Every knock is a boost. And you do not have his assignment, given to him by Allah (God) in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad and the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

However, understand this: Your efforts to malign and discredit these Divine Men also align with what is ordained.

“Allah (God) has ordained opposition for His Prophets, Messengers and Servants in the establishment of Divine Revelation. Although Allah (God) has allowed His Prophets to suffer at the hands of the wicked.

It never was the intention of Allah (God) that the wicked would win in their struggle against Him and His Messengers, particularly the last one, Muhammad,” Minister Farrakhan said in a message published in The Final Call in Vol. 13, No. 26, titled, “All Opposition To Truth Will Be Destroyed.”

The fact is, for those who use their platforms to speak ill of, slander, or lie about the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, and/or the Nation of Islam—show the results of your work among our people and the despised and rejected of the Earth, from the last day, let alone from the last nearly 100 years.

The Holy Qur’an, Surah 2, Verse 23 states, “And if you are in doubt as to that which We have revealed to Our servant, then produce a chapter like it and call on your helpers besides Allah if you are truthful.” What results have you gotten from your so-called “mission” and influence? Have you made the blind see, the dumb speak and the deaf hear? Elijah and Farrakhan have!

So, for all the critics, naysayers, hypocrites and enemies—continue doing what you feel you must do. Throw down your rod like Pharaoh’s magicians and watch the rod of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan swallow up what you spew.

We are fighting for Islam, and we will surely win!

“This is not us,” or “This is not who we are.” However, to America, it is quite the opposite: It is exactly who you are. Violence is as “American as apple pie,” especially when it is directed toward Black people.

This country was established on violence—from the killing, torture, genocide, and rape of the Indigenous people who already lived in this land—to the kidnapping, enslavement, and brutal treatment of Black people snatched from Africa and deposited in America for a life of slavery, suffering and death.

For the 470-plus years since Black people have been in this country called the United States of America, the pattern display of violence has been consistent. So, it should come as no surprise to people in a country founded on bloodshed that this pattern continues.

Additionally, since our sojourn in this country, Black people have consistently come out on the losing end of employment, educational opportunities, income, housing, health, and other categories that often measure the progress, or lack of progress, of a people.

The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad warned, in His book, “Message to the Blackman in America,” in the chapter, “Not Your Brother,” of the consequences of trying to continue to integrate into a country and people who will never see or view us as “equals” with them.

“If you understood that which you are seeking to be accepted into and if you understood the nature of those whom you are seeking to integrate with you would, instead, be seeking your own people’s society or building one of your own on some land or territory separate from the American Whites.

“We need land wherein we can build our own society free from the tension, hatred and violence that have accompanied our race relationship with the White race of America,” the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad wrote.

“When you learn that the White man is not your brother, you will readily begin to see and accept the Divine Plan that Almighty Allah (God) has in the working for our people. Who has been our aggressors and murderers ever since we have been in America? Who, by nature, was made quick to shed blood—even his own?” he added.

The more we seek to integrate into what the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. called “a burning house,” the more we could see an increase in violence and bloodshed aimed at Black people.

The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad warned us to separate from our open enemy. Our brothers and sisters in the Civil Rights Movement have advocated for integration and have tried mightily for decades to try and win White people over for them to “accept” us.

The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad warned us that “integration is a hypocritical trick.” In fact, in Point No. 9 of “What The Muslims Believe,” from “The Muslim Program,” printed on the inside back page of The Final Call, He states in part:

“WE BELIEVE that the offer of integration is hypocritical and is made by those who are trying to deceive the black peoples into believing that their 400-year-old open enemies of freedom, justice and equality are, all of a sudden, their ‘friends.’

Furthermore, we believe that such deception is intended to prevent black people from realizing that the time in history has arrived for the separation from the whites of this nation.”

He continues: “If the white people are truthful about their professed friendship toward the so-called Negro, they can prove it by dividing up America with their slaves. We do not believe that America will ever be able to furnish enough jobs for her own millions of unemployed, in addition to jobs for the 20,000,000 black people as well.”

With each passing day in this country, it becomes increasingly clear that fighting for integration is futile.

The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, National Representative of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, explained the importance of examining and looking more deeply into “integration,” “segregation,” and “separation.”

“Today, we have to look at the terms ‘Integration,’ ‘Separation’ and ‘Segregation,’ and behind these words discover meaning, and behind the meaning discover the intent of the parties who are advocating either way,” Minister Farrakhan explained in a July 20, 1980, message titled, “Integration and Separation.”

“If the intent of the Government in advocating integration is to trick us into believing that our 400-year-old enemy has now become our ‘friend,’ and that we should forgive and forget and be glad to take part in this great American way of life, then the intent is evil. So, the result of such evil intent can never bring justice to a people who are aggrieved,” Minister Farrakhan said.

Many people misunderstand segregation and separation, a point Minister Farrakhan cleared up masterfully in the same message. “Now, ‘separation’ is a little different from ‘segregation.’

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad has said to us that separation is a voluntary act done by two equals who realize that they cannot get along in peace, so they come to a decision that it is ‘best for us to separate: You go your way, I’ll go mine.’”

Brothers and sisters, we have been aggrieved and continue to be aggrieved. For decades, we have done anything and everything humanly possible to appeal to White people and the U.S. government to treat our people with decency and fairness, but to no avail. Is it not time to consider a different approach and decide what is best for us and our future?

It is separation or death. Which one will you choose?

The above statement by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan is a statement all of us should consider. As the genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank continues, governments and people around the world are most certainly being tested. Whether we pass or fail, this particular test will ultimately be determined by Almighty God, Allah. This puts us all in the valley of decision.

Lines are clearly being established: people who are outspoken in their support of the Palestinian people and condemn the genocidal actions of Israel, and people who, in their blind loyalty to Israel, attempt to silence these outspoken voices with the false label of “anti-Semitism.” For what? For simply having compassion, being sensitive to human suffering, and having the nerve to express sympathy for Palestinian suffering? This support often comes with a cost to those who dare speak out: smears by the media, threats to careers, livelihoods, or fines.

Those who fail to see the suffering of the Palestinian people are willing to use their money, influence, and power to try to silence and punish these voices for freedom, justice, and equality due to a blind loyalty to Israel and to certain members of the Jewish community.

But strong voices and actions from entertainers and athletes are continuing to join the chorus of others around the world who are standing up for Palestine and condemning the atrocities perpetrated by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli regime.

Recently, Grammy-winning rap and pop artist Macklemore was removed from multi-platinum artist Ed Sheeran’s tour for simply expressing his support for Palestine. During an early September stop of the tour at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., Macklemore said in part: “I said Free Palestine. I want those words to be loud and clear, so the people from Gaza, all the way to the occupied West Bank, know that we have not forgotten them.” He also stated, “To all of my Jewish brothers and sisters: criticism of Israel, criticism of apartheid, being against genocide in no way is a criticism of you. My message is for peace; love for all human beings to be treated with dignity, respect, and equality. So, I say Free Palestine, I say Free Lebanon, I say Free Cuba, I say Free Congo, Free Sudan, I say free all people in America living in fear of this terrorist organization, ICE. None of us will be free until we are all free.”

It was later reported that Robert Kraft, the Jewish billionaire owner of the NFL’s New England Patriots and owner of Gillette Stadium, and friend of Prime Minister Netanyahu, contacted Ed Sheeran. According to Macklemore, Kraft told Sheeran that he had contacted other NFL owners and would not allow the rapper to perform at their stadiums.

Macklemore was subsequently removed from the tour. However, in a sign of solidarity, other artists withdrew, including Finneas, who posted on Instagram, “Artists must not be silenced when they speak up for the oppressed. I have decided to withdraw from my upcoming tour dates with Ed Sheeran. I stand with Palestine and its people.” 

Azeez Al-Shaair, a pro-bowl linebacker with the NFL’s Houston Texans, also continues to take a stand. He was recently fined $11,492 for wearing “Hind Rajab” on his eye back during the first game of the season. Hind was a five-year-old Palestinian girl who was killed in Gaza City in 2024 along with other family members when Israeli troops fired multiple shots into their vehicle.

NBA star Kyrie Irving offered to pay his fellow athlete’s fine, posting on social media, “I’ll take care of his fine.” Last season, Al-Shaair was fined for wearing “Stop The Genocide.”

The topic of Israel and Palestine has been a volatile one for decades. In the 78 years since the State of Israel’s establishment in the Middle East, world sentiment has firmly been on the side of the occupier state for the most part. However, since its inception in 1948, which led to the expulsion and displacement of 700,000-750,000 Palestinians from their homeland, those left behind have been under an apartheid system. The Israeli government, with the help of the United States, has made daily life and conditions unbearable for the Palestinian people.

The U.S. government continues sending billions of dollars to Israel. The Trump administration is reportedly planning to deliver powerful 2,000-pound bombs to Israel as part of an upcoming $2.8 billion arms package which, according to Associated Press, “includes 40,000 of the bombs, made up of 20,000 Mk84s and 20,000 BLU-117s, according to two U.S. officials and a person familiar with the plan who spoke Sept. 15 on condition of anonymity to discuss the package, which is not yet final.” Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY), a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and his counterpart Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) placed a hold on the package, expressing concerns about more civilians being harmed, according to reporting from various news outlets. “All of us share concern about what Israel is doing,” Senator Shaheen told CNN.

America and Israel seem determined to continue their warmongering. But the opposition and pushback is getting stronger.

The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the Eternal Leader of the Nation of Islam, warned of what would unfold in the Middle East, which is now unfolding today. In pages 171-172 of His landmark book, “The Fall of America,” in the chapter, “The Destruction and Fall,” the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad writes, “America and England deposited their little brother, Israel, on foreign soil, Palestine, which is Arab land. They deprived the Arabs of their own land and sent them into exile.” He then warns, “This injustice against the Arabs is now costing America the power and authority that she once exercised in the East. She is on her way out of the Near East. This means bloodshed and plenty of it.”

There have been nearly 73,000 deaths and 174,900 wounded in Gaza since October 7, 2023.

As Minister Farrakhan noted, we cannot and must not turn a blind eye to the plight of what the Palestinians have and continue to suffer under an apartheid regime.

“If you could look at their suffering, and it don’t move you, you have lost your humanity.  If you can see a dog suffer and have compassion … . If you can see your favorite horse suffer, where you’ve got to put him down, you feel pain!  Palestinian mothers are crying over the loss of their children!  I watched them cry; I watched them touch their babies that are dead, and don’t want to let the baby go to be buried,” Minister Farrakhan said during his 2024 Saviours’ Day message.

“That’s not a barbarian feeling, that’s a human feeling.  I saw Jews that were suffering, too, burying their dead, and weeping as the Palestinians are weeping.  These are not barbarians!  They have suffered from Israel’s presence in Palestine,” Minister Farrakhan said.

Are we on the side of freedom, justice, and equality for all, or on the side that chooses to remain silent, acquiesce, and compromise for comfort, while others suffer? The choice is ours. Today, we are all in the valley of decision.

When it comes to Messengers and Servants of Allah (God) whom He has raised and commissioned as a Warner and Guide to the people, scriptures are full of examples of people who were skeptical of what they taught and brought.

Noah, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them) were ill-spoken of and mocked. But what these men taught, through the revealed Word of God, came to pass or was confirmed.

We will soon mark three years since the October 7 Hamas attack in Israel, which has subsequently led to the genocide, slaughter and displacement of tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza by the Israeli regime.

Western media outlets were swift to condemn Hamas and paint Israel as innocent victims while uttering the familiar refrain that “Israel has a right to defend itself.”

Yet there was one voice, above all others, that revealed to the world that, despite what was being portrayed and reported, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu knew what Hamas was planning before the events of Oct. 7 unfolded.

The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, National Representative of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, spoke to the world on February 25, 2024, at the Nation of Islam’s Saviours’ Day Convention in Detroit. His message: “What Does Allah, The Great Mahdi and The Great Messiah Have To Say About The War In The Middle East?”

During his address, Minister Farrakhan explained that his Teacher ordered him to be quiet while He revealed to him what came to pass. With no trepidation or hesitation, Minister Farrakhan revealed the truth before the world.

“While I was being quiet, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad did something. And I’ll start telling you about it now. In the middle of the night, I received a picture of the prime minister of Israel. A big picture! And he wanted me to study that man. Down in the corner of the picture …

He was there with some of the members of his war cabinet—but I didn’t know what they were talking about or whatnot. So, a day passed, and he brought back the picture, but enlarged it that I could see the prime minister talking with members of his war cabinet. 

They had drinks in their hand, wine; they were toasting the Jews that live near Gaza who would die a few days later on October the 7th when Hamas broke through and a lot of killing started,” Minister Farrakhan stated.

“Mr. Netanyahu knew all about it. Listen to me good! I let the media in because I want you to hear it! He already knew what Hamas was going to do because he sanctioned it. I want you to pay me good attention! And they were proposing a toast to the Jews who lived outside of the walls of Gaza that separated the Gazans from the Israelis.

They were toasting the innocence of Jews that on the 7th of October would be martyred. They were being martyred because he knew their plans, and he used their plans to help Hamas do what it did because he had in his mind a second Nakba,” Minister Farrakhan revealed.

Nakba, or “catastrophe/disaster” was and is the ethnic cleansing and displacement of the Palestinians from the land where the State of Israel was established in 1948.

Minister Farrakhan is not a man who speaks idle words. His very revelation on what Mr. Netanyahu knew in advance is being uncovered. Recently, Haaretz, the Israel-based media outlet, published what some may consider a “bombshell” article, titled, “Revealed: Netanyahu Received an Explicit Warning Days Before Oct. 7. He Didn’t Brief Israel’s Security Chiefs.”

Although the embattled prime minister has reportedly threatened to sue Haaretz for defamation, the publication stands by its reporting. The outlet alleges that Mohammed bin Zayed, president of the United Arab Emirates, warned Israel’s Shin Bet agency and then Prime Minister Netanyahu about a possible attack by Hamas 10 days before the events of October 7, 2023.

But that both dismissed the warnings. Haaretz also reported that Hamas offered to release all of its civilian captives they had captured and demanded nothing from Israel in return, but that Israel rejected that offer.

How many lives could have been spared over these past nearly three years had Mr. Netanyahu listened to and obeyed divine guidance? For decades, Minister Farrakhan has warned about what was in the mind of previous Israeli leadership up to and including Netanyahu.

“The first Nakba or ‘catastrophe’ on the Palestinians was done in 1948 when Israel became a state. And they exiled 700,000 Palestinians and made them like vagabonds in the Earth.

But Netanyahu had in mind that he was going to use the pain of their loss to destroy the whole Palestinian community not only in Gaza but the West Bank, East Jerusalem. It was a genocidal attack that he knew would preserve his place as a ‘great Jewish leader,’” Minister Farrakhan said during his Saviours’ Day message in 2024.

“People do strange things when their hatred is so great of the people that they are killing; that their intention was to cleanse Gaza of every Palestinian that lived there and cleanse the West Bank and East Jerusalem so that Israel would not be bothered with Palestinians anymore,” he continued.

The book of Deuteronomy, Chapter 18, Verses 21-22 state: “You may say to yourselves, ‘How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the Lord?’ If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously, so do not be alarmed.”

Minister Farrakhan is not a prophet; he is so much more than that. And he is most definitely not a madman, despite the slander and lies hurled at him for the last nearly 50 years.

What this recent reporting by Haaretz clearly confirms, and bears witness to regarding the actions of Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli regime, is that Allah (God) and His Exalted Christ are speaking through and guiding the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan to reveal that neither God nor His Anointed Servant are to be mocked.

As it says in Surah 68, Ayat 7 of the Holy Qur’an: “Surely thy Lord knows best who is erring from His way, and He knows best those who go aright.” Minister Farrakhan is that warner from Allah (God) who goes aright.

This country has a history of unjustly locking up Black men and women who dare critique, criticize, or point out the injustices perpetrated against our communities. While the U.S. government is often quick to point to other countries in its accusations of holding “political prisoners,” and others who have been incarcerated abroad, it fails to look in the mirror at its own injustices.

The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad understood the wickedness of the U.S. government when it came to unjust imprisonment of Black people and spoke to this in “The Muslim Program,” which is published weekly on the inside back page of The Final Call.

Under “What The Muslims Want,” in Point No. 5 it states in part: “We want freedom for all Believers of Islam now held in federal prisons. We want freedom for all black men and women now under death sentence in innumerable prisons in the North as well as the South;”

and in Point No. 6, it states in part: “We believe that the Federal government should intercede to see that black men and women tried in white courts receive justice in accordance with the laws of the land—or allow us to build a new nation for ourselves, dedicated to justice, freedom and liberty.”

America has held many Black political prisoners who have languished behind bars for decades, have died while still incarcerated or after being released while sickly, in old age, and die soon after. Imam Jamil Al-Amin, Dr. Mutulu Shakur, Kamau Sadiki, and Sundiata Acoli are just a few of the names.

Also on this list is Mumia Abu Jamal. He and his supporters, including the Coalition to Free Mumia, have been fighting for his freedom for decades. This December will mark 45 years of his imprisonment. The former journalist, activist and Black Panther was convicted in 1981 of killing a Philadelphia police officer.

He and his supporters have always proclaimed his innocence. His trial was fraught with inconsistencies and observers argue he did not receive a fair trial. While behind bars, Mumia has suffered many health issues, but his resolve remains, despite these conditions.

He is serving time at Mahanoy Correctional Institution in Pennsylvania, on a life sentence with no chance of parole. His original death sentence was overturned in 2011 after federal courts ruled his original 1982 sentencing instructions were unconstitutional.

Amnesty International and other human rights organizations have appealed for his release or, at the very least, for a new trial. Recently, the UK-based, The Guardian reported that Mumia “is taking his claim that he has been subjected to arbitrary imprisonment for a crime that he did not commit to a new tribunal: the United Nations in Geneva.”

On July 28, according to theguardian.com, “… Abu-Jamal, 72, lodged a petition with the UN’s working group on arbitrary detention, a body within the Human Rights Council. It marks the latest attempt by the internationally renowned prisoner and prolific author of 15 books to seek relief, having exhausted all domestic channels through state and federal courts.”

The cruel and unusual punishment of Mumia’s incarceration speaks volumes about the U.S. “injustice system.” In the 20-page petition to the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, it states:

“Mr. Abu-Jamal’s mandatory sentence of life without parole (LWOP), also known as Death by Incarceration (DBI), is inherently arbitrary because it is indefinite and contains no meaningful periodic review of necessity or reasonableness;

it is also unreasonable as applied to Mr. Abu-Jamal in light of his advanced age, declining health, and the lack of any risk he poses to the public, rendering his continued detention arbitrary under the Working Group’s Category I.

“Mr. Abu-Jamal has been continuously targeted for his political expression and associations, prior to his arrest, at trial, and over the course of his incarceration and appeals, raising questions as to violations of this Working Group’s Category II;

his judicial processes and the decades-long repression of his political speech have also been influenced by discrimination on the basis of race, raising questions as to violations of this Working Group’s Category V.”

The petition was submitted by the Abolitionist Law Center, American Civil Liberties Union, the California Coalition for Women Prisoners, Center for Constitutional Rights and the Release Aging People in Prison Campaign.

The fight to free Mumia is not over, and it is important that we continue to advocate for him and other brothers and sisters who continue sitting in prisons and jails in U.S. correctional facilities for crimes they did not commit.

The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has also been one of the strongest voices speaking out on Mumia’s plight and fight.

“My dear brothers and sisters, right now as we speak:  Mumia Abu Jamal is absolutely a prisoner of conscience.  A ‘prisoner,’ that if they get their way, they will sentence my brother, and order his death.  But in a hearing, they wanted to give him a new trial, where his attorneys could produce evidence that might lead to Mumia Abu Jamal’s freedom! 

But those that oppose it are seeking, now, to overturn the lower court ruling, and sentence my brother to death.  Mumia Abu Jamal is a political prisoner,” Minister Farrakhan stated, during part 24 of this 2013 lecture series, “The Time and What Must Be Done.”

“What is a ‘political prisoner?’  According to the American Heritage Dictionary, a ‘political prisoner’ is ‘a person who has been imprisoned for holding or advocating dissenting political views,’” Minister Farrakhan continued.

So, while the U.S. points its fingers at other countries for the treatment or mistreatment of their political prisoners, it is hypocritical for those in governmental authority to ignore what is happening in America’s own backyard.

We must not forget! Free Mumia Abu Jamal and all political prisoners unjustly locked up in the prison capital of the world!

Any critique or condemnation of the abuse, ethnic cleansing or killing of Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank or other areas was and is quickly met with the familiar and typical charges or accusations of being “anti-Semitic.”

Any mere mention of pulling back or withholding of any portion of the billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars sent each year to Israel for its mistreatment of Palestinians was and is met with criticism.

Even having the nerve to express any sort of sympathy toward the suffering of the Palestinian people and their right to exist in their homeland was and is immediately met with scorn or is dismissed.

Every year, whether under the administration of a Democrat or Republican U.S. president, and regardless of which party holds the majority in the U.S. House of Representatives or Senate, one thing was and is constant—America’s checkbook for Israel remains open.

Israel is also the leading buyer of U.S. weapons. Since 1948, the U.S. has provided over $300 billion in total assistance to Israel. Constantly providing aid and resources to Israel was the one issue that seemed to always garner bipartisan support and agreement on “both sides of the aisle.”

There were very few outspoken voices of dissent among U.S. politicians. Those who dared to speak out, like Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), a Muslim and Black woman of Somali descent, were immediately attacked, many times by their own party.

However, a shift is seemingly happening.

The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has warned America about how the rest of the world is viewing Israel and its actions in the Middle East. During an April 9, 2009, interview on WVON 1690 AM—The Talk of Chicago, with host Cliff Kelley, Minister Farrakhan provided divine insight then.

That is applicable today amid the renewed genocide by Israel of the Palestinians that has been ongoing since October 7, 2023. More than 73,000 people, mostly women and children, have been killed since then.

“America and Israel are supposedly ‘friends,’ but America has refused to say something to her friend. Israel, right now, is seen in the world as a ‘pariah state’; and America has lost influence in the world simply because she has looked the other way when the Israeli Defense Force has committed massacres against the Palestinian people. What happened in Lebanon and Gaza has damaged the image of Israel throughout the world,” the Minister said.

“America has leverage with Israel that she is afraid to use. And this goes to the strength of AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee), which is comprised of powerful men and women of influence. … Why don’t the members of Congress speak when they know that the things that Israel is doing will hurt them, and hurt America as well?

It is because they are afraid that if they go against what is seemed to be beneficial to Israel, they will lose their position? That means that these people are no longer the representatives of the American people. They are the representatives of the money interests that they fear; that control them,” Minister Farrakhan pointed out.

A recent vote in Congress could signal a change or shift on the horizon. More than half of the Democratic Caucus voted recently in Congress on an amendment introduced by GOP Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky that would have cut nearly $3.3 billion in funds for Israel currently allocated in the 2027 defense funding package.

Although the amendment was defeated in a vote of 314-104, it could be a sign that public sentiment toward Israel and its crimes against humanity is getting the attention of politicians who have been elected to represent and serve the will of their constituents. In the vote, 103 Democrats voted to cut aid.

“While the amendment did not pass, it put lawmakers on record on the issue after Israel joined the Trump administration in beginning a war with Iran and as its unpopular war in Gaza approaches the three-year mark in October.

At least two dozen people were killed in Israeli airstrikes in Gaza in the last two days, The Associated Press reported, despite a ceasefire,” according to NBCNews.com after the July 15 vote.

The outlet also noted that according to a Gallup tracking poll from earlier this year, “U.S. public opinion on the long-standing Middle East conflict is shifting.” The poll indicated that “Americans said for the first time that they were more sympathetic to Palestinians (41%) than Israelis (36%).”

While some are optimistic about the number of Congresspersons who voted to stop aid to Israel, the fact is, it still passed, and each passing day, Palestinians are continuing to be slaughtered and the poor in America, whose social safety net programs have been cut, are continuing to see their tax dollars flow out of the country to the Occupier State.

Whether members of Congress will continue pushing to vote to cut the purse strings to Israel remains to be seen. And others are not so sure those voting to cut the aid is because they have true sympathy for the suffering Palestinians and are raising questions about what could be their ultimate motives.

Dr. Stacey Patton, a college professor and author pointed out that after what she called, “decades of treating Israel like and untouchable sacred cow,” she hoped that despite the recent vote, that people “don’t think that these Dems should be getting courage medals.” She said that this is because tens of thousands of Palestinians have been killed.

The outspoken award-winning journalist posted on her Facebook page, “Israel is continuing the killing. Families have been starved, displaced, mutilated, and erased while Democrats kept on voting for the weapons, repeating the talking points, and hiding behind ‘Israel has a right to defend itself.’”

She continued, “They did not lead or act before the horror became politically inconvenient. They waited until the bodies piled so high that supporting the slaughter started costing them votes.”

She attributed the vote by some to the unexpected rise of New York’s mayor, who is young, Muslim and outspoken on Israel and Palestine.

“I also think they’re stunned by Zohran Mamdani. They watched Mamdani openly confront Israel, reject AIPAC’s politics, call the slaughter in Gaza what it is, and still win. Then they watched candidates he backed defeat establishment Democrats tied to the old pro-Israel consensus,” Dr. Patton continued.

“Mamdani is helping set a new trajectory inside the Democratic Party, and Palestine is central to it. These Democrats can see that the electorate, especially younger voters, is moving in a different direction. 

They understand that unconditional support for Israel may now cost them their seats. So this ain’t some moral awakening. What they’re doing is political self-preservation.”

While it may be too early to tell if this shift continues to the point of the U.S. cutting or stopping aid to Israel to continue is reign of terror and genocide, it is clear that many in America and the world are paying attention.

For Black children in America, this is a painful but daily reality. As noted by the Center For Policing Equity (CPE), “In this country, Black children do not get the luxury of having their innocence presumed and protected by the majority-White society in which they live.” The center references a 2014 study it conducted by co-founder and CEO Phillip Atiba Goff, called “The Essence of Innocence.”  

Their study “found that the period of time during which White youth are not expected to be fully responsible for their actions can extend well into their late 20s. By contrast, Black children are often treated as adults by age 13, if not well before, regularly perceived as older, less innocent, and more threatening than their White same-age peers.”

There have been several similar studies conducted over the years that have reached the same or very similar conclusion. As a result of this “adultification” of our Black youth, they are quite often not given the benefit of the doubt nor do they receive sympathy or empathy in the court of public opinion or in America’s so-called justice system.  

In the CPE study it also revealed that Black boys as young as 10 may not be viewed in the same light of childhood innocence as their White peers, but are instead more likely to be mistaken as older, be perceived as guilty and face police violence if accused of a crime.

“Children in most societies are considered to be in a distinct group with characteristics such as innocence and the need for protection. Our research found that Black boys can be seen as responsible for their actions at an age when White boys still benefit from the assumption that children are essentially innocent,” noted Mr. Goff.

“One alarmingly frequent outcome is that, in any interaction they may have with the country’s criminal legal systems, Black children are routinely held to adult standards, the study also reported.

History is full of examples that confirm what these various studies have concluded. And unfortunately for young, Black men and boys in America, this “adultification” has led to deadly results.

George Junius Stinney Jr. was wrongfully executed in 1944 in Columbia, South Carolina, at the age of 14 after being convicted, during an unfair trial, for the murders of two White girls. According to records, George was only 5 feet 1 inch tall and weighed 90–95 pounds.

But it did not matter that this young boy was not guilty. He received no due process and no benefit of the doubt. Young George was innocent, and decades later, his conviction was overturned.

Emmett Till, also innocent and also only 14. But the fact that he was a boy did not stop the racist, White thugs from kidnapping, torturing and killing him in Mississippi in 1955. There was no sympathy. He was not viewed as an innocent youngster.

Mike Brown Jr., just 18 years old when he was confronted, shot and killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri in 2014. Mike Jr. was 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighed approximately 290 pounds, but he was still just a teen.

The officer who confronted and ultimately killed him, tried to use the excuse that because of the young, Black man’s size that he was intimidated and feared for his life. The officer himself was 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighed about 210 pounds.

Tamir Rice was only 12 years old and playing in a park with a toy airsoft “gun” in 2014, when someone called the police saying a “male, probably a juvenile,” had a gun. Police arrived and shot and killed him on site with no hesitation.

How Black youth are treated is not limited to engagements with law enforcement. Fast forward to today. Recently, a South Carolina jury acquitted convenience store owner Chikei Rick Chow of murder in the May 2023 fatal shooting of 14-year-old Cyrus Carmack-Belton.

Chow shot the unarmed Black teenager in the back after chasing him over a suspected water bottle theft after claiming he acted in self-defense. There was reportedly no evidence that Cyrus had taken anything from the store. But, the fact that this young brother, not even old enough to drive, did not matter to someone who saw him not as a child, but as a threat that had to be neutralized.

National Representative of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, has consistently warned us that what we see happening in the targeting of our Black youth will continue to happen. He has explained that Black youth have been marked for death by the U.S. government and those who are enemies to their rise.

However, Minister Farrakhan and the Two who back him, have guided him with the solution, if we take heed and obey his guidance.

“The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us that one of the things that must be done, in this time, is that we must be separated from our former slave masters and their children—because time will prove that they will become more and more disagreeable to live with in peace,”

Minister Farrakhan said in part 39 in his 2013, 58-week lecture series, “The Time and What Must Be Done,” titled, “Can Black and White Live Together in Peace.”

“Unfortunately, race relations will continue to get worse because the government just cannot provide enough food, clothing, shelter and jobs, or justice, for us.  And as we sit around, waiting for somebody else to do this for us—and demanding what we feel are our basic rights as so-called citizens—we are making our former slave masters and their children more angry with us; and thus.

They are becoming more disagreeable to live with in peace. That’s why the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, ‘We must be separated if we don’t want to continue to suffer great loss,’” Minister Farrakhan stated.

As days go by, what the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan have revealed continues to come to pass. We cannot continue to think that our over 400-year enemy is going to do right by us or our children.

Our enemy does not view our children as having a right to exist, thrive and survive. White children can be children, Black children cannot. And as long as we continue to think that integration is the answer, the more our children will suffer.

In the words of Minister Farrakhan, “Separation will prove to be the only answer to the problem between the Black man and woman and the White people of America.”

Since our sojourn in America there have been efforts to dismantle those goals. While establishing relationships with other communities regardless of political, socio-economic, ethnic and religious affiliations is also worthwhile, those relationships must be established on truth, transparency and historical accuracy.

Members of the Jewish community met recently in Miami with several well-known Black leaders and organizers for the National Convening on the Black-Jewish Alliance.

The event was called, according to organizers “the first national gathering of its kind in more than 25 years, aimed at renewing one of the most consequential partnerships in American history.” The meeting, which reportedly drew “more than 100 leaders,” was held May 26-30.

According to reporting by The San Diego Voice & Viewpoint, “Hosted by the Exodus Leadership Forum and Redstone Family Foundation at EAST Hotel Miami, the convening brought together clergy, organizers, artists, philanthropists, educators, civic leaders and cultural figures.

The goals were to strengthen relationships; confront rising antisemitism and racism; and help shape a shared national strategy for Black-Jewish partnership in the years ahead.”

The gathering attracted Blacks, Jews and those who are members of both communities. The Exodus Leadership Forum is a non-profit established by former Obama administration advisor for Green Jobs and current political commentator Van Jones.

The reported goal of the forum is “to revitalize and strengthen the historic partnership between the Black and Jewish communities.” The Redstone Family Foundation is described as “a philanthropic organization”

And is headed by media executive Shari Redstone. Rev. Dr. Benjamin Chavis, longtime civil rights activist and president and CEO of the National Newspaper Publishers Association (the Black Press), also addressed the gathering. There are reportedly plans to make it an annual gathering.

The weekend included several goals and included “facilitated conversations around difficult ‘wedge issues,’” noted sdvoice.info. Coming out of the “historic gathering,” a draft of a National Strategy for Black and Jewish Partnership was crafted and included the following:

• Promoting Awareness and Historical Understanding
• Deepening Relationships and Building Trust
• Shaping a Public Narrative around Black-Jewish Allyship
• Coordinating Efforts Across the Field
• Expanding Partnerships for Collective Advocacy and Action

The above goals could be considered practical. However, before the rest of the points listed can be delved into, the first point, “Promoting Awareness and Historical Understanding,” must be addressed. And, there can be no awareness or understanding that is not based on truth and actual facts.

For decades, the National Representative of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, has spoken the unadulterated truth about the historic and current relationship between Blacks and Jews.

He has been unfairly lied on, maligned and targeted by members of the Jewish community and many scared-to-death Black people who are unwilling or unable to face the real truth about the history of this “relationship.”

Before any sort of “alliance” can be considered, what the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has presented and revealed must be part of the dialogue. Otherwise, no meaningful so-called alliance can be considered. And, if there is an alliance, what will it be based on?

Minister Farrakhan has called for a dialogue with members of the Jewish community, but he has been rebuffed due to his unwillingness to speak other than the truth. In his efforts to foster communication and understanding between the two communities, the Nation of Islam Research Department has produced several books, including:

“The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews: The Jewish Role in the Enslavement of the African,” “The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews: How Jews Gained Control of the Black American Economy,” “The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews:

The Leo Frank Case, The Lynching of a Guilty Man,” and “Jews Selling Blacks.” There is also a comprehensive compilation of messages by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, titled, “Revealing the Truth & Exposing the Synagogue of Satan.”

Perhaps the dialogue around “difficult wedge” issues about “one of the most consequential partnerships in American history” can and should start with the reading and studying of these materials. Doing so would allow both groups to truly start a sincere dialogue that could lead toward an “alliance.”

Over the years, Minister Farrakhan has written letters to prominent Jewish groups and Black leaders and organizations to foster sincere and truthful dialogue based on understanding. He has sent the books from the N.O.I. Research Group to Black and Jewish leaders, accompanied by letters of divine guidance.

In an open letter to Jewish groups he wrote in 2010, Minister Farrakhan stated: “I have pleaded with you over the years for a sensible, intelligent dialogue.

You have rejected me, and some Rabbis have given me terms for friendship that any self-respecting person could never accept. So with this truth in our hands and yours, and soon in the hands of tens of thousands, I again ask you for a dialogue.”

The same year, Minister Farrakhan also emailed Black leadership, stating in part, “These books that the Historical Research Department of the Nation of Islam has published, “The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews: How Jews Gained Control of the Black American Economy Volume 2”

And “Jews Selling Blacks” are being shared with our people to show us how we were completely undone and how others have benefited from what has happened and continues to happen to us. We cannot deal effectively with our so-called friends as men and women without this vital knowledge.”

He continued, “Whenever the Light of Truth has been shone on them, they reach for you to defend them against the Truth that uncovers the horror that has been done to us. They have always been successful pitting us against each other thus keeping them from facing the Truth of their real relationship with us.

As they call upon you to denounce me as an anti-Semite and, because of the favor you believe you owe them for what they have done to help make life comfortable for you; I am asking you to stand down. I am asking you to read this research and then discuss it with your Jewish friends.

Would you condemn me as an anti-Semite for exposing the research that shows them as being anti-Black? I am asking you to stand down and let them come out to me to defend their record and history of their relationship with us that we compiled from that which was written by their own scholars, historians, and Rabbis.”

For sincere alliances to be created, truth must be present. So, for the National Convening on the Black-Jewish Alliance, seek the guidance and wisdom that the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has already shared, offered and made available.

The post An ‘alliance’ must be based on truth appeared first on Final Call News.

Because of these truths, he has been falsely called and labeled a hater, anti-Semitic, and an enemy of the American people. But speaking truth and warning of approaching danger, even if it hurts, are the characteristics of a true friend.

American presidents are fond of the word “patriot.” Past presidents have called on Americans to be “patriotic” citizens and respond to their drumbeats for war and invasion of other nations under the false pretenses of America under attack or threats of terrorism.

They call on “patriots” to perform their duties even when the presidents themselves and Congress knowingly lie to justify invading or bombing other nations to overthrow regimes or gain access to mineral wealth.

The lives of many American soldiers have been lost based on these lies. Lies pulled America into the Vietnam War. Lies pulled American soldiers into invading Iraq.

Tens of thousands of innocent civilian lives have been lost on the receiving end of U.S. bombs and American weaponry supplied to Israel in their genocidal attempt to exterminate the people of Palestine, Lebanon and other Muslim nations.

Today, America is involved in a war against Iran, a war that was not declared by the U.S. Congress. The war does, however, complete a larger strategy launched by so-called neoconservatives in the late 1990s and significantly impacted by the administration of President George W. Bush.

That strategy, which accelerated after the 9/11 attacks on America, was to destabilize the Middle East by overthrowing the governments of seven Muslim nations—Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Iran. 

At this writing, every one of those nations have been destabilized—except Iran.

The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has warned every U.S. president, from Ronald Reagan to Donald J. Trump, of the dangers of pulling the lynchpin into Armageddon, the war to end all wars spoken of in scripture.

He has repeated the forecast spoken by the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the Eternal Leader of the Nation of Islam, that once this war starts there would be blood “and plenty of it.” 

Once Armageddon is in its full fury, the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad told the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan that America would send their soldiers over in the tens of thousands, but they would come back in the fives and tens.

“I have been reading that the plans are already made for America to attack the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Minister Farrakhan said in an April 8, 2007, message at Mosque Maryam, referencing the 2003 bombing of Iraq to remove leader Saddam Hussein. “The United States can’t win a ground war in Iraq, and it can’t win a ground war in Iran,” he continued.

The only way for America to defeat Iran is to use nuclear force under the pretense that America is destroying Iran’s nuclear capabilities, while all the time killing civilians, the Minister forecasted.

Minister Farrakhan warned President Trump in his first term (2016-2020) that his character and thinking would be to the detriment of his administration, a warning manifested more fully in his second administration.

Mr. Trump’s second administration has drawn the distrust of America’s closest ally, Canada, by suggesting that the U.S. could annex its northern neighbor.

He has caused distrust among allied European nations by unilaterally applying exorbitant tariffs on their exports, called countries nasty names, ridiculed friendly leaders and threatened to withdraw from NATO.

An April Alliance of Democracies Foundation survey confirmed Minister Farrakhan’s warning, showing that “[G]lobal perceptions of the U.S. have deteriorated for a second consecutive year and are now worse than views of Russia.”

The Denmark-based foundation said the U.S. was also most frequently named in response to which country posed the greatest threat to ​the world, after Russia and Israel, Reuters reported.

Minister Farrakhan has warned that Mr. Trump’s plan for American dominance through fear is what is pushing smaller nations to want weapons of mass destruction. Mr. Trump invaded Venezuela and kidnapped its president, Nicolas Maduro and his wife, while also taking control of that nation’s oil exports and revenues.

Even as he pursues war in Iran, Mr. Trump has announced Cuba as his next target—announcing indictments on former Cuban President Raul Castro, increased the military presence in the Gulf, placed economic sanctions and an oil embargo that have caused near 24-hour power outages and Cuban suffering.

In the book “Closing The Gap” by Brother Jabril Muhammad, Minister Farrakhan said in answer to a question, that obtaining a nuclear weapon is a deterrent to American aggression.

“To make Syria afraid; to make Iran afraid; to make North Korea afraid; to make any little, small nation afraid is to say to them as the scripture says, ‘Wake up the mighty men of war.  And let them turn their plow shares and their pruning hooks into spears and swords’ because this is a time of global war.

“Their efforts for peace may be noble, but they will not come to pass until war has decimated the warmongers. And many, many, many, many millions of human lives will be lost,” he said.

To Muslim leaders in the Middle East, Minister Farrakhan warned in a Nov. 8, 2018, news conference in Tehran, Iran, that President Trump is  “making toxic the divisions between Sunni and Shia” Muslims and “openly saying they should reject their brother Iran.” He said new sanctions on Iran is the predicate for a new war.

“I am begging our president and the government that support him to be very, very careful because if  the trigger of war in the Middle East is pulled by you using your surrogates at the insistence of Israel, then the war will trigger another kind of war that would bring China, Russia, all of the nations into a war,” Minister Farrakhan said.

“It bothers me to say this to you, Mr. President, but the war will end America as we know it.  I am a warner to you.  I am a friend to America, not an enemy.  But if you do not heed the warning and correct your path, death will come.” —James G. Muhammad, Contributing Editor

When it comes to the U.S. government, the White power structure in this country and White people and their treatment of and toward Black people, what Ms. Angelou said has been proven true time and time again.

They have shown us who and what they are.  So, we must stop expecting something different. There is a plethora of historic and current examples of this; too many to keep track. But we only must look over the past few days to see even more examples.

The continued attack and dismantling of Black studies curricula on all levels of education is a deliberate strategy to attempt to erase the tremendous contributions our people have made and continue to make not only to America, but the world. 

They hate our very shadow, so what better strategy than to target academic institutions? A recent article published on The Nation, titled “Dismantling Black Studies,” examined this deliberate tactic.

The article listed several institutions of higher education that have either totally dismantled or watered down Black or African Studies departments, curricula or programs and also legislation that have targeted such programs. 

According to the article, Florida’s Senate Bill 266  stripped Black-studies courses of their general-education status and cut the research funding that faculty depend on and Kentucky’s House Bill 4  suspended the University of Louisville’s Pan-African Studies doctoral program and eliminated all graduate assistantships. 

“Black studies is where the attack has been the most deliberate, the most structural, and the most revealing of what is at stake.  In recent months, university leaders have dismantled departments and deliberately narrowed the pipeline producing the next generation of Black scholars. What is happening is not just a series of isolated bureaucratic decisions; it is a coordinated assault,” the article states.

This is just one example. Then there are deliberate targeting and attack on anything Black folks attempt to do “for us by us.”  A White dermatologist along with what is being described as a “conservative advocacy group” had the nerve to file a federal lawsuit against the online platform Find A Black Doctor. 

The lawsuit alleges racial discrimination because the directory limits its physician listings to Black doctors and dentists.  Statics have proven that Black patients received better care from Black healthcare professionals.  It is highly doubtful this White dermatologist has the desire to truly care for and treat Black patients.

White folks, who still control the wealth and levers of power in politics, business, academia and are dusting off  the tired, non-existent “reverse racism/reverse discrimination” card as a last resort to hold onto a power that they see they are losing their grip on. 

And, just like in the past, they are using the tools at their disposal in various levels of government to do their bidding to on to power. 

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has been actively soliciting White men to file workplace discrimination charges, if someone Black or non-White gets a position that in their arrogance, they think rightfully belongs to them.

As Allah (God) is breaking America and the Caucasian’s grip on power, their tactics become more desperate, and they are becoming more emboldened. 

As each day goes by, our open enemy continues to show us that they are disagreeable to live with in peace. The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad told His National Representative.

The Honorable Minister Farrakhan, that when the children of Israel rebelled against Moses and Aaron and did not want to leave their slavemaster to build an independent nation of their own under the guidance of Allah (God) that He chastised them with fiery serpents and cockatrices. 

“The Honorable Elijah Muhammad asked me one day, ‘do you know what it means, fiery serpents?’ I said, ‘no sir.’  He said, ‘It means angry White people,’” Minister Farrakhan said during a May 9, 2017, interview on WVON 1690AM Talk of Chicago radio with host Cliff Kelley, during President Donald Trump’s first term in office.

“White people are getting more and more angry every day, and as I said on this same wonderful program before, Mr. Trump was elected that the mask of civility—like an onion peeling—is being peeled off.  Now naked hatred, not only in word but in deed, is being openly shown to us,” Minister Farrakhan said.

This naked hatred is increasing and like they always have, angry Whites are using the power of the U.S. government as a tool in their hatred.

Minister Farrakhan in answering a question from The Final Call, stated the following about the U.S. government during his Holy Day of Atonement Message in 2003: “this government of the United States is our worst enemy.”

“As long as the Children of Israel saw Pharaoh as a friend, they could not see Moses and Jehovah as their true friend. As they came into consciousness—by the wicked things that Pharaoh continued to do against them—that Pharaoh was indeed their enemy, then Moses and Jehovah’s call to them to separate from Pharaoh to build a nation of their own became a reality.

“As long as we see America and her wealth as something that we want, we will never leave Pharaoh. As God’s hand touched the wealth of Pharaoh, it is now touching the wealth of America. 

As the Black man and woman become more awakened to the wicked machinations of government, the aim is the same today: We should never be free of their influence and power.

“As Abraham Lincoln said, if there is to be a superior position, he would rather that superior position be assigned to the White race. That superior position must be protected by those who believe in White supremacy and they will do everything in their power to make sure that that position will always be throughout the generations,” Minister Farrakhan said.

He added, “So, our path is clear: We refuse to be inferior. We want to be exactly what Allah (God) has desired for us to be and we can’t be that in their house.  We either have to take over their house or go and build a house of our own.”

Like Minister Farrakhan said, our path is clear. The U.S. government and White folks have shown us who and what they are. The question for us is: Do we finally believe them?
