Louis Farrakhan Biography (1933 - )

Louis Abdul Farrakhan, original name Louis Eugene Walcott

Black Muslim leader. Born Louis Eugene Walcott on May 11, 1933 in the Bronx, New York. He grew up in Roxbury, Massachusetts, and was converted to the Nation of Islam by Malcolm X. Following Malcolm X's defection (1963–4), Farrakhan became the national representative for Elijah Muhammad.

When Elijah Muhammad's son allowed whites to join the movement (after 1975), Farrakhan split away and formed a revitalized movement, Final Call to the Nation of Islam. An eloquent and persuasive speaker, he continued to work for black separatism and black economic power. Although he denied being anti-white or anti-Semitic, he often employed an abrasive rhetoric that alienated such groups, as when he made derogatory statements about Jews during the 1984 presidential primaries on behalf of Reverend Jesse Jackson.

In the 1990s, however, Farrakhan began to soften his message and image and, reviving a talent he had as a young man, even began to play the violin in classical concerts to show that he was not totally opposed to whites and their culture.In 1995, along with other prominent black leaders such as Al Sharpton and Barack Obama, Farrakhan helped lead the Million Man March on Washington. A second march, called the Millions More Movement, took place in 2005.

I have this sick feeling just like I did watching the OJ trial.

No matter what evidence was presented, they still found OJ not guilty.

No matter what is found out about Obama, he’ll still be voted in.

It’s a sick feeling.

Nancy and the Dems are under the illulsion that they can “control” and manipulate Obama once he’s in - working together. The Dems in Congress are like the silly woman who thinks she can “interact” with a grizzly bear because she’s special. Then one day, the bear goes berserk and attacks and eats and digests her.

Of course they do.

Think of the MONEY behind this and where it has to come from. Then, imagine who’ll be knocked off in the first wave if 0bomber is elected.

Just really think about it. Blowjob was chump change.

Did the million man march debt ever get paid off. Last time I heard they still owed hundreds of thousands of dollars.

It wouldn't surprise me if they do owe thousands of dollars. But, hey, it's not like Farrakhan is a plumber who asked Barry Obama an embarrassing question so it's not worth looking into.

At the million man march, a big chunk of his speech was about the no. 19, and its significance. He got into the no. of letters in things, and years that things happened, and stuff like that. It was very very very weird. I imagine you can get a copy of that speech on the internet, if it hasn’t been scrubbed.

From the Farakhan speech in 1995:

In the background is the Jefferson and Lincoln Memorial, each one of these monuments is 19 feet high.

FARRAKHAN: Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth president. Thomas Jefferson, the third president, and 16 and three make 19 again. What is so deep about this number 19? Why are we standing on the Capitol steps today? That number 19 -- when you have a nine you have a womb that is pregnant. And when you have a one standing by the nine, it means that there's something secret that has to be unfolded.

............

Now, we're almost finished. I want to take one last look at the word atonement.

FARRAKHAN: The first four letters of the word form the foundation; "a-t-o-n". . . "a-ton", "a-ton". Since this obelisk in front of us is representative of Egypt. In the 18th dynasty, a Pharaoh named Akhenaton, was the first man of this history period to destroy the pantheon of many gods and bring the people to the worship of one god. And that one god was symboled by a sun disk with 19 rays coming out of that sun with hands holding the Egyptian Ankh - the cross of life. A-ton. The name for the one god in ancient Egypt. A- ton, the one god. 19 rays. Look at your scripture.

A woman, remember the nine, means somebody pregnant, with an idea. But, in this case, its a woman pregnant with a male child destined to rule the nations with a rod of iron. God is standing over her womb, and this child will be like the day sun, and he will say "I am the light of the world." Hands coming out of that sun, come unto me all ye that are heavy laden. I'm gonna give you rest, but I'm gonna give you life, because I am the resurrection and the life and if you believe in me, though you are dead, yet shall you live again.

You're dead, Black man. But if you believe in the god who created this sun of truth and of light with 19 rays, meaning he's pregnant with God's spirit, God's life, God's wisdom. Abraham Lincoln's statue, 19 feet high, 19 feet wide. Jefferson, 19 feet high, 16 (OFF-MIKE) and the third president, 19. Standing on the steps of the Capitol, in the light of the sun. Offering life to a people who are dead.

FARRAKHAN: Black man, the a-ton represents the one God. In the Koran, Muhammad is called a light giving son. So if you look at the aton, add an "e" to it, and separate the "a" from the next four letters and you get the word a tone.

Atone means sound. And "a", the first letter of the alphabet and the first letter of the numerical system is one. So "a" equals one. So "a" sound means when you hear the "a" tone, you will hear the right sound. And when you hear the right sound from the one God calling you to divine life, you will respond. So what is the "a" tone? In music, a equals 440 vibrations. How long have we been in America? Four hundred and forty years.

Well, in the 440th year, from the one God, the aton will come the a tone and all of us got to tune up our lives by the sound of the a tone. Because we've got to atone for all that we have done wrong. And when you atone, if you take the "t" and couple it with the "a" and hyphenate it, you get at one. So when you atone you become at one. At one with who? The aton or the one God. Because you heard the a tone and you tuned up your life and now you're ready to make a new beginning.

So when you get at one, you get the next two letters. It is "m" "e". Me. Who is it that has to atone?

here is the speech: http://www-cgi.cnn.com/US/9510/megamarch/10-16/transcript/index.html
i made a attempt to skim it, but it sounds like mindless ramblings and coded. maybe some one else could make better sense of it.
when i did a search on the number 19 there were many references to the quran. repeatedly sura 19:19 which states: "I am only a messenger from thy Lord, (to announce) to thee the gift of a holy son". this seems to make sense of the statement farrakhan made in his speech at the million man march: "Why are we standing on the Capitol steps today? That number 19 — when you have a nine you have a womb that is pregnant. And when you have a one standing by the nine, it means that there's something secret that has to be unfolded". creepier yet is farrakhan called obama the messiah. some thing that makes me go HMMMM.

could this be obama he is speaking about: “You’re dead, Black man. But if you believe in the god who created this sun of truth and of light with 19 rays, meaning he’s pregnant with God’s spirit, God’s life, God’s wisdom. Abraham Lincoln’s statue, 19 feet high, 19 feet wide. Jefferson, 19 feet high, 16 (OFF-MIKE) and the third president, 19. Standing on the steps of the Capitol, in the light of the sun.

Pretty insane stuff, isn’t it? I watched it live back in 1995, and I sat there dumbfounded at the monstrous lunacy. It was on CNN, Fox didn’t exist, and no one was there to say how crazy Calypso Louie was. Rush was all we had back then, and he nailed it big time.

He seems to have known Obama real well during that time frame (a guy in his neighborhood) and I would not be surprised if in addition to sharing an appreciation of Jeremiah Wright they shared conversations about advancing their afro-centric cause over some stiff espresso.

If Obama worked with Farakhan on the march, that needs to be brought out as part of his history with Wright/Ayers/Davis and association with America haters.

This stuff would be funny if Louie didn't have a lot of followers in this country who believe what he says and who hate whitey.

yup, insane! i believe his run has been planned for many years. ACORN (obama) and the dems knew this economic meltdown was coming. i dont believe they intended to run obama yet, but the timing was right. i think they miscalculated some. we are not beaten down, hopeless enough! well most of us that is. the libs would vote for any one that wants to stick their hand in our pocket to care for them. leeches! the part that scares me is that farrakhan seems to really believe obama is the messiah and his followers too. obama has made comments that lead me to believe some one he knows has lead him to believe also that he is “the one”. damn scary!

Whoa...

Another one of those troublesome associations. Remember Hillaty at one of the debates trying hard to force Obama to denounce the ednorsement by Farakahn? It was absurd really. Obama was Clintonesque- parsing words and twsting. I’ll try to find that youtube- in light of this new evidence it makes a nice backdrop.

Hope someone has a screenshot of this. So he didn’t just march- he helped ORGANIZE the MMM- for Nation of Islam. This- after his Christian “conversion”....

BWWWWWWWWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!
