Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan called for "regime change" in the United States on Monday and denounced "wicked" U.S. policies for turning the world against America. "We need a new government, we need regime change in America," he said at the end of a visit to Communist Cuba. Farrakhan, who led the Million Man March on the Washington Mall in 1995 to promote black self-reliance, said the Bush administration's domestic policies were "sucking the blood of the poor and the weak." The controversial African American leader defended Iran's right to develop a nuclear energy program to reduce dependence on oil and said Washington's opposition was a pretext for a war. "The Muslim world should unite against America's desire for a preemptive strike against Iran and Syria," he said at a news conference. Farrakhan said a similar pretext was used by Washington to invade Iraq "to rape the treasuries of the United States of hundreds of billions of dollars to be doled out to the friends of President Bush, Halliburton and Bechtel and associates." Farrakhan visited Cuba for a week to learn about disaster management in the wake of the U.S. government's failure to cope with Hurricane Katrina last year in New Orleans, he said. He thanked President Fidel Castro and blasted the U.S. economic embargo against Cuba as a "wicked blockade." The U.S. government has no moral grounds to criticize Cuba, where education and health care are free, he added.
Can't we just donate him to Fidel?
And are worth exactly what they pay for them.
When this looney tune presents the evidence he claimed to have that W blew up the levees in New Orleans then I will pay attention to anything he says.....He is a loser that that will never be anything more than that.
Hey, Louie, you get that chance here - every four years.
I hereby call for "regime change" in Farrakhan's brain. Let one of his other personalities come into the forefront and take control for awhile... preferably the one who has visited the "mother ship." I mean, that kid is fun!
"said the Bush administration's domestic policies were "sucking the blood of the poor and the weak.""
- This coming from a guy who thinks there is an alien mothership in orbit waiting to pick him up for a joyride around the galaxy.
Just the fact that the pop media gives this moron the time of day provides one small example of WHY they are dying on the vine.
Considering how "King Louis" lives, I'm betting HE wouldn't want to live in Cuba...
The actual article has paragraphs.
LOL, and they get exactly what they pay for. Hey Farrakdip, the next time you need surgery please feel free to go to Cuba to have it done.
Of course, if I was a customs agent assigned to do that, I'd probably spend the next week in the shower ...
I believe with Farrakhan, it's well past the point of treason.
Funny place to request a regime change. Let's turn to the board:
Since 1959 in the US:
Ike
JFK
LBJ
Nixon
Ford
Carter
Reagan
Bush
Clinton
Bush
Since 1959 in Cuba:
Castro
Funny guy, you know he'd just take a boat over to Mexico and then walk across the border like everyone else does.
Calypso Louie, a racist scumbag to the core.
Great post that applies simple, common sense, reality based facts that destroy the very core of what old louis has to say. Nice job.
The singularly worst part of the information age is that it gives the bully pulpit to every moron, whack job, fringe lunatic out there.
Every one of them can find an audience virtually where they would have been talking to thin air before. Farrakkahn is no different. He is a grade A, first degree, race baiting, class baiting psycho.
It used to be that people like him would give these speeches and they would go unnoticed. Now they are broadcast around the world.
Well let me see. What the He!! is Louie doing in Cuba anyway? I thought that it was forbidden by the State Dept. for U.S. citizens to travel there. I say arrest his behind when he steps foot back on U.S. soil.
Regime change? Castro and his butt buddy Hogo Chavez may have something up their sleeve here:
The greater threat to our nation's security comes not from Dubai and its pro-Western government, but from Venezuela, where software engineers with links to the leftist, anti-American regime of Hugo Chávez are programming electronic voting machines that will soon power U.S. elections.
Congress spent two weeks overreacting to news that Dubai Ports World would operate several American ports, including Miami's, but a better target for their hysteria would be the acquisition by Smartmatic International of California-based Sequoia Voting Systems, whose machines serve millions of U.S. voters. That Smartmatic -- which has been accused by Venezuela's opposition of helping Chávez rig elections in his favor -- now controls a major U.S. e-voting firm should give pause to anybody who thinks that replacing our antiquated butterfly ballots and hanging chads will restore Americans' faith in our electoral process.
Consider the lack of confidence Venezuelans have in their voting system. Anti-Chávez groups have such little faith in Smartmatic's machines that they refuse to run candidates in elections anymore as reports surface of fraud and irregularities from Chávez's 2004 victory in a recall referendum. Yet somehow Smartmatic International and its Venezuelan owners were able to purchase Sequoia last year without the deal receiving any scrutiny from federal regulators -- including the Treasury Department's Committee on Foreign Investments in the United States (CFIUS), which is tasked with determining whether foreign takeovers pose security risks.
CFIUS generally investigates such transactions only when the parties voluntarily submit themselves to review -- which Smartmatic did not do. But it retains the authority to initiate an investigation when it suspects a takeover compromises national security.
Smartmatic has a brief but controversial history. The company was started in Caracas during the late 1990s by engineers Antonio Mugica and Alfredo Anzola. They worked out of downtown Caracas providing small-scale technology services to Latin American banks. Despite having no election experience, the tiny company rocketed from obscurity in 2004 after it was awarded a $100 million contract by the Chávez-dominated National Electoral Council to replace Venezuela's electronic voting machines for the recall vote.
When the council announced the deal, it disingenuously described Smartmatic as a Florida company, though Smartmatic's main operations were in Caracas and the firm had incorporated only a small office in Boca Raton. It then emerged that Smartmatic's ''partner'' in the deal, Bizta Corp., also directed by Anzola and Mugica, was partly owned by the Venezuelan government through a series of intermediary shell corporations. Venezuela initially denied its investment but eventually sold its stake.
When the vote finally came, exit polls by New York's Penn, Schoen & Berland Associates showed Chávez had been defeated 59 to 41 percent; however, when official tallies were announced, the numbers flipped to 58-42 in favor of Chávez. Venezuela's electoral council briefly posted machine-by-machine tallies on the Internet but removed them as mathematicians from MIT, Harvard and other universities began questioning suspicious patterns in the results.
Flush with cash from its Venezuelan adventures, Smartmatic International incorporated in Delaware last year and purchased Sequoia, announcing the deal as a merger between two U.S. companies.
Smartmatic says the recall vote was clean and that it is independent of the Chávez government. Responding to my inquiries, Smartmatic-Sequoias sent a written statement: ``Sequoia's products consist only of voting devices and systems, all of which must be federally and state tested and certified prior to use in an election. As Sequoia's products do not have military, defense or national security applications, they do not fall within the parameters of the matters governed by CFIUS.''
In fact, Smartmatic International is owned by a Netherlands corporation, which is in turn owned by a Curacao corporation, which is in turn held by a number of Curacao trusts controlled by proxy holders who represent unnamed investors, almost certainly among them Venezuelans Mugica and Anzola and possibly others.
Why Smartmatic has chosen yet again to abuse the corporate form apparently to conceal the nationality and identity of its true owners is a question that should worry anyone who votes using one of its machines. Congress panicked upon hearing that our ports would be run by an American ally, Dubai, but never asked whether America's actual enemies in Venezuela have been able to acquire influence in our electoral process.

revoke his passport while he's in cuba.
Calypso Louis should never be allowed back in to the States.
By whatever means necessary.
Maybe Castro will shoot down his plane when he leaves.
Liberals in this country have successfully redefined the definition of treason to mean nothing.
Calypso Louie is our Al-Sadr.
Louie doesn't have the brains found in a pile of goat crap.......
oh...that's too harsh......
Louie does have the brains found in a pile of goat crap.
It is my understanding that he is in Cuba to learn something about disaster relief. Go figure!
Louie will probably travel to North Korea next to learn something about human rights and how to adequately feed the population.
Free Health Care=Here's a Q-Tip now go home and die
When did public schools in America start charging?
It already has.
Piles of goat crap object to that insult.
Don't let him back in. Liberia's looking for some new black leadership.
Hey, he hit all the Dem talking points:
-Wicked regime
-Sucking blood of the poor and the weak
-Iran SHOULD go nuclear (but America shouldn't)
-Muslims need to unite against U.S.
-War all about $$$ for Halliburton and Cheney/Bush friends.
-Katrina (mandatory to link to any Bush news)
-Cuba's "free" health and education
Louie's visa should be revoked and he should be turned away at customs. Go live in IRAN YOU LOSER!
Maybe one of his aliens will be beamed down from his Nation of Islam spaceship and lead us all to victory!
And if you guys have no idea what I'm talking about, do a google search for Nation of Islam.
Since 1959 in the US:
Ike
JFK
LBJ
Nixon
Ford
Carter
Bush
Clinton
Bush
Since 1959 in Cuba:
Castro"
Good point.
We often respond to the ludicrous pronouncements of the various flavors of American freedom-haters from the left as if their rants warrant recognition and a response, when they very often do not, and in fact make the case very well just how out of touch with reality they are.
I sure wish his space ship would get here to take him home soon...
Funny thing is I have seen a lot of posts here hoping what this freak says comes true.
Dems win house it won't be gridlock? It will be rangel and conyers impeaching Bush for the whole world to see.
