Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan said the H1N1 flu vaccine was developed to kill people, UPI reported. "The Earth can't take 6.5 billion people. We just can't feed that many. So what are you going to do? Kill as many as you can," Farrakhan reportedly said during an event in Memphis, Tenn. "We have to develop a science that kills them and makes it look as though they died from some disease." The 76-year-old added that many wise people won't take the vaccine, according to UPI. His comments were made during an event to observe the group's Holy Day...

Minister Louis Farrakhan, who lived in Bermuda as a child, was driven to come to the Island last Saturday to use his influence to try and stem the tide of gang violence. Since arriving and out of the public eye, the Nation of Islam leader has reached out to gang members, visiting 42nd Street, Park Side and both gangs in St. George's, bringing conflict resolution and a measure of peace.

Media in the Czech Republic is widely reporting a series of UFO sightings that occurred last month in the northern town of Cheb. Numerous residents have flooded radio stations, newspapers and police with calls regarding the UFOs prompting something of an investigation into the events. The events occurred at around 7.45 pm on Saturday February 14 of this year and again at around the same time on February 17. Local residents are completely at odds to explain the events.

BUCKS COUNTY. From flaming trees to six-sided, hovering aircraft, people in towns like Langhorne and Fairless Hills are seeing things otherworldly — making the area the current ground zero of the UFO world. “I’m spending almost two hours a night on these sightings in Bucks County,” John Ventre of the Pennsylvania chapter of the Mutual UFO Network said last week. “This wave that [started] the second half of last year was incredible.” Over 100 sightings since June more suited for Fox and Mulder than local police departments have attracted the attention of the Discovery and History channels. The Discovery Channel...

UFOs and aliens may not neatly match the Hollywood depiction of advanced races from far off planets reaching us through worm holes or inter-dimensional portals. Daily sightings of anomalous airborn crafts worldwide and accounts of alien abduction might find an explanation in something as handy as your Bible. The aliens may indeed be fallen angels. The very first Christian symposium on aliens will address this idea July 3-5, organized by Guy Malone, author and co-founder of Alien Resistence - an organization that studies Biblical ideas on the UFO and alien abduction phenomena.

ANOTHER strange sight has been spotted above the skies of Taunton. This image was sent in by reader Phil White whose son Bret spotted it from their back garden in Crowcombe Road at around 10.30pm on Sunday. He said: “A golden bright light came from space out of the night sky, did some pretty weird movements then sped off towards the motorway. “Bret had the great sense to grab the camera and get a shot of it. “As you can see it was moving very fast.

The woman was alone but her daughter who lived nearby also saw the otherworldly object. In another part of town the same object was seen by an amazed couple who managed to capture the event (photos below) in spite of their initial stunned surprised. Another witness reported...

Denver, CO. You may think that reports of strange craft flying around in our skies are rarities. However, according to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), thousands of reports are made yearly, and reports of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) in 2008 reached a record high, with over 5,000 reports. This number is more than double the reports made in 2007. So why is their such a drastic increase? According to Robert Powell, MUFON’s Director of Research, “Last year’s record numbers were contributed in part by mass sighting reports in Erath County, Texas and Bucks County, Pennsylvania.” He goes on to emphasize...

It's a scenic shot that appears to be out of this world. Taken on a mobile phone early one morning it captures the London landscape as well as four curious lights hovering over the Houses of Parliament. Could they be UFOs?

It was still there when they stopped recording, Harriet said. “My grandmother telephoned telling us about a light in the sky; we went upstairs and had a look. “What my dad and I saw was a light much brighter...

A former top deputy to Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan tells Newsmax that Barack Obama’s ties to the black nationalist movement in Chicago run deep, and that for many years the two men have had “an open line between them” to discuss policy and strategy, either directly or through intermediaries. “Remember that for years, if you were a politician in Chicago, you had to have some type of relationship with Louis Farrakhan. You had to. If you didn’t, you would be ostracized out of black Chicago,” said Dr. Vibert White Jr., who spent most of his adult life as...

Obama inspired songs popping up across the Caribbean With John McCain in Mexico Thursday and Barack Obama polling off the charts in Canada, the Caribbean is also weighing in on the U.S. presidential election, as a slew of Obama-inspired calypso songs are popping up across the islands. Dubbed the “poor man’s newspaper” by practicioners of the genre, calypsos are often nuanced pieces of social commentary, meant to take the pulse of the population. Of all the Obama-themed songs, the most popular is a song entitled “Barack the Magnificent” by Trinidadian Calypso legend Mighty Sparrow, a pioneer of the genre who...

Chivalry, the Nation of Islam way. In the same edition of Final Call, there’s a gushing editorial praising Mr. O: Sen. Barack Obama has already made history by winning enough pledged delegates and commitments from super delegates to capture the Democratic Party nomination and enjoys the possibility of becoming the first Black man to serve as president of the United States.

The leader of the Chicago-based Nation of Islam has made this third visit to Cuba, and praised the nation's medical training program. Minister Louis Farrakhan began the visit Monday by meeting young U.S. citizens from low income families studying to become physicians in the island, the Cuban government said.

Minister Louis Farrakhan has announced that he is gravely ill and has temporarily abdicated his leadership of the Nation of Islam to the executive board, according to the Associated Press. Asking for solidarity so that the Nation "will live long after I and we have gone," the 73 year-old has taken time to recover from a "serious infection and inflammation," according to a letter he dated September 11 and posted in the Nation's Final Call newspaper. While in Cuba earlier this year, doctors discovered an ulcer in his anal area. He has since lost 35 pounds. In 1998, the leader...

U.S.: Farrakhan trip a disaster Pittsburgh Tribune Review Going to Cuba to learn about emergency management would be akin to going down there to learn about democracy," said Steve McCraw, former assistant director of the FBI, and Texas director of homeland security. Louis Farrakhan journeyed to Cuba on Monday to learn about disaster relief, but U.S. government officials don't believe he is receiving much of an education. Arriving for a weeklong visit, Farrakhan criticized the federal government for its handling of Hurricane Katrina's destruction of New Orleans last August.

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...

It's been nearly a month since Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakahan blamed "Zionists and neo-cons" for "manipulating" President Bush into invading Iraq - before blasting "wicked Jews" in Hollywood for promoting "lesbianism [and] homosexuality." Yet, outside of a few newspapers in Chicago, the same press that showers positive coverage on Farrakhan's Million Man marches has yet to get around to covering his Feb. 26 Saviours Day speech. "These neo-cons and Zionists have manipulated Bush and the American government and our boys and girls are dying in Iraq and in Afghanistan for the cause of Israel, not for the cause...

OAKLAND, Calif. - They weren't your ordinary thugs. Dressed in bow ties and dark suits, nearly a dozen men carrying metal pipes entered a corner store, shattered refrigerator cases and smashed bottles of liquor, wine and beer, terrifying the clerk but stealing nothing. But the recent attack at San Pablo Liquor — and an identical vandalism spree at another West Oakland store later that evening, along with an arson fire there and the kidnapping of the owner a few days later — have injected religion into the debate.The two episodes highlighted tensions — and different interpretations of the Quran —...

State, local officials also looking into flood wall collapses Thursday, November 10, 2005; Posted: 2:42 p.m. EST (19:42 GMT) NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (AP) -- Federal prosecutors said they are conducting a criminal investigation into the levee failures that swamped New Orleans. Federal investigators are looking into the possibility of corruption in the design, construction and maintenance of the flood barriers, U.S. Attorney Jim Letten said. Letten said Wednesday that his office began the investigation the week after Hurricane Katrina. The August 29 hurricane, and subsequent canal breaches left about 80 percent of New Orleans under water, killing hundreds of residents...

WASHINGTON - Soil tests indicate that a soft, spongy layer of swamp peat underneath the 17th Street canal floodwall was the weak point that caused soil to move and the wall to breach during Hurricane Katrina, an engineer who has studied the data says. "The thing that is remarkable here is the very low strength of the soils around the bottom of the sheet pile" base of the floodwall, said Robert Bea, a geotechnical engineer at the University of California, Berkeley, who examined the test results. Bea is a member of the National Science Foundation team that is studying the...

WASHINGTON (AP) - Railing against the delayed relief for victims of Hurricane Katrina, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan said Saturday that the federal government should be charged with "criminal neglect of the people of New Orleans." "For five days, the government did not act. Lives were lost," Farrakhan said at the 10th anniversary of the Million Man March. "We charge America with criminal neglect." A crowd of thousands cheered as dozens of prominent speakers - academics, activists, artists and media pundits - spoke, recited poetry and sang songs in the 12-hour program on the National Mall. Most of Louis...

Farrakhan: Mexican President Was Right to Say Immigrants Take Jobs Blacks Don't Want The Associated Press MILWAUKEE (AP) - Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan said Mexican President Vicente Fox was right to say that Mexican immigrants take jobs "that not even blacks want." Although Fox was sharply criticized for his remarks by some black leaders, Farrakhan said Sunday that blacks do not want to go to farms and pick fruit because they already "picked enough cotton." "Why are you so foolishly sensitive when somebody is telling you the truth?" he asked the crowd at Mercy Memorial Baptist Church. He...

RUSH: This is amazing. This is this morning in Washington, the tenth anniversary celebration of the Million Man March. Here is a portion of remarks made by the Reverend Sharpton. SHARPTON: Leading blacks are appointed by those in power. Black leaders are anointed by God and the masses of our people.

Cary, N. C.—How is it possible, half a century after the Supreme Court’s Brown decision, for respected, tenured, award-winning African-American professor Jean Cobb to lose benefits at a university she has taught at for more than three decades? “She is a Republican and an objective scholar who takes a dim view of the political correctness scourge, and of those who use the classroom to indoctrinate students into radical (Marxist/black separatist) politics,” her friend, Dr. Carey Stronach, said recently. “For this she should be applauded, but instead, it has been the undoing of her career.” Her political affiliation made sociology professor...
