President Barack Obama’s past continues to haunt him. A friend e-mailed me this revealing post by Bishop E.W. Jackson Sr., pastor of The Exodus Faith Ministries in Chesapeake, Virginia. Bishop Jackson wrote it last June, but I have not seen it circulated or mentioned before now. Now, someone found it and put it on their own blog. Like so many of us, Bishop Jackson describes himself as once a leftist Democrat; an African-American who grew up in a black urban community in Pennsylvania, and a man who is disturbed about what he calls “a strain of anti-Semitism in the black...

Last year around this time, the left was predicting an omnipotent presidency that would usher in a new way of "being" on the planet. It has turned out to be a wilting and amateurish one, full of commonplace follies and tired initiatives. The party-crasher story is emblematic of Obama's already diminished presidency. The most recent report about the party crashers adds a new layer to the farce: the party crashers can actually claim plausible and encouraging interactions with a "Pentagon official." ABC casts the story in terms favorable to the White House: "E-Mails Show Salahis Never Got White House State...

Senior Official: More Hasan Ties to People Under Investigation by FBI Alleged Shooter Had "Unexplained Connections" to Others Besides Jihadist Cleric Awlaki By MARTHA RADDATZ, BRIAN ROSS, MARY-ROSE ABRAHAM, and REHAB EL-BURI Nov. 10, 2009 A senior government official tells ABC News that investigators have found that alleged Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan had "more unexplained connections to people being tracked by the FBI" than just radical cleric Anwar al Awlaki. The official declined to name the individuals but Congressional sources said their names and countries of origin were likely to emerge soon. Nidal Malik Hasan, left, is seen...

The mystery of the Mountain Meadows skull has apparently been solved. The skull, which had been found in a box marked “Mountain Meadows” in an Idaho pawn shop in February, had what was thought to be a bullet hole in it. There was speculation that the skull was that of a victim of the Mountain Meadows massacre, a September 1857 event in which about 120 men, women and children, mostly emigrants from Arkansas, were killed in Utah. According to Phil Bolinger and Jake Fancher, it has been determined that the skull is that of a Vietnamese female. Bolinger and Fancher...

In 1995, along with other prominent black leaders such as Al Sharpton and Barack Obama, Farrakhan helped lead the Million Man March on Washington.

Jabir Herbert Muhammad — son of Nation of Islam founder Elijah Muhammad and former manager of boxing great Muhammad Ali — died Monday afternoon at the University of Illinois at Chicago Medical Center.Mr. Muhammad, 79, had undergone open-heart surgery last week, said Joseph Morris, a Muhammad family attorney. Mr. Muhammad had been in the news last year because of a lawsuit he filed against convicted political fund-raiser Tony Rezko to stay in his South Side mansion, a home built by the late Elijah Muhammad.In an interview with the Chicago Sun-Times last year, Mr. Muhammad said Rezko had “embezzled” him out...

  Nation Of Islam's Lois Farrakhan on the radio [WPAT AM] August 17 2008 [around 5:39 PM]: "If Obama loses fair and square OK, but if not... there will be some consequences..."   1) Will Farrakhan ever say that it was fair and square?   2) What does he mean by consequences, Is he calling for a violent bloody riot (again)?   While his past/present hatred is really troubling, even though he became more sophisticated in his language, yet, I am glad that through his tremendous efforts to hide his venom he is still so transparent when he always talks about "them" &...

In a rare public appearance, Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan urged black Americans on Tuesday night to separate from mainstream culture to establish and support their own community. Nearly eight months after delivering what was thought to be his farewell speech, a smiling Farrakhan strode onstage at the Atlanta Civic Center to an applauding and cheering audience of nearly 5,000. He warned the crowd not to be distracted by the successes of recent decades. "We have to come out of the thinking of a slave and come into the thinking and acting of free men and women," Farrakhan said....

WASHINGTON -- The film features grainy footage and dramatic music, presenting itself as a stark look at the way fundamentalist Muslims in America and Europe crush dissent by their more moderate co-religionists. But the very production of "Islam vs. Islamists: Voices From the Muslim Center" has highlighted sharply different views about the state of Islam in the United States and showcased how intensely sensitive that subject remains. PBS, which commissioned the project, is delaying airing the film after protests that it is anti-Muslim. Now its creators are launching a public campaign against PBS to get it shown.

Tuesday the Russians could watch justice at work: Sergey Mavrodi, founding father of the biggest economic “bubble” MMM in the modern history of Russia had to face the sentence. 16 June, 1993 Sergey Mavrodi founded a so-called commercial company MMM, which turned out to become an extraordinary huge financial pyramid. According to the case papers, Mavrodi under the name of MMM issued 991 thousand shares with face-value of 1000 rubles, but the real amount of shares sold to the population was three of four times bigger. A great role in this story played Russian mass media: MMM produced several TV...

Nation of Islam - An Empty Legacy   By Adrian Morgan    Part Four of Four  Louis Farrakhan has made no public comments about who will succeed him as head of the Nation of Islam. His tenure as leader of the group has been marked by injudicious comments and actions. He reinstated the Fruit of Islam, the bow-tie wearing "soldiers" of NoI. The Fruit of Islam were initially charged to act as security during Jesse Jackson's 1984 presidential campaign. Farrakhan warned the Democratic Party that if Jesse Jackson's demands were not listened to, he would "lead an army of black men...

TUSCALOOSA | Members of a community action group are asking residents in west Tuscaloosa to turn in their guns. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, members of the recently formed All for One Tuscaloosa Standing Against Violence will gather at Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary School to receive guns that residents turn in, said the Rev.

Sutton and Maurice Muhammad, minister of the Nation of Islam Study Group in Tuscaloosa, organized All for One Tuscaloosa last fall after several homicides shook area neighborhoods. Twenty-six homicides were...

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov 7 (Reuters) - Voters elected a black Democrat as the first Muslim in Congress on Tuesday after a race in which he advocated quick U.S. withdrawal from Iraq and made little mention of his faith. Keith Ellison, a 43-year-old lawyer and state representative, defeated two rivals, television networks said, to succeed retiring Democrat Martin Sabo in a seat that has been held by Democrats since 1963. Ellison, who converted to Islam as a 19-year-old college student in his native Detroit, won with the help of Muslims among a coalition of liberal, anti-war voters. He advocates an immediate U.S....

Norfolk-based sailor uses Web to channel opposition to war By LOUIS HANSEN, The Virginian-Pilot © November 5, 2006 NORFOLK - Jonathan Hutto graduated from Howard University with a degree in political science and a résumé of social activism. He worked for the American Civil Liberties Union and Amnesty International after college. He whipped up grass-roots protests against police departments and college administrators. One day in 2003, broke and seeking direction, Hutto enlisted in the Navy. The Navy couldn't have known it then, but they know it now: They had signed up a sailor strongly opposed to the Iraq war.

September 5th , 2006 Contact: Sue Peschin CeaseFire MD Board Member (301) 802-4850 BALTIMORE, MD:One semiautomatic assault rifle was traced to a Maryland crime every 48 hours, according to a study by CeaseFire Maryland, Inc. released today. The data, from the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (ATF) show that 789 assault rifles were traced to crime in Maryland from January 2, 1998 to December 31, 2001, but the actual number of assault weapons traced to crime in the state is likely to be higher. “With assault weapons being traced to crime in Maryland an average of every...

Seething at what they consider racist slurs against African-Americans displaced by Hurricane Katrina, activists here Friday took verbal aim at gubernatorial candidate Kinky Friedman and west Houston residents who last week urged city officials to send evacuees back home. "The nerve of the white man to talk about shipping anyone anywhere," Houston activist Quanell X told a small group of reporters and the public Friday at a Texas Southern University news conference. "This is disgraceful." His comments came as local and New Orleans activists gathered in Houston to craft a response to the comments, which they said smeared the estimated...

Fellow Americans, there comes a time every mans life when we must give up ourselves before we are worthy to recieve. There comes a time in this war on terror when in order to protect liberty, we have to give it up in the mean time for safty. That's right folks. Today, Americans have forsaken the creator for the creation and have decided that they would value our "civil liberties" than protecting western civilization and rich white people from the tender mercies of radical Islamic terrorists. Selfish liberals insist and whine that Bush has no right to spy on Americans...

In this war freedom should come first not after! In New Hampshire the Motto is Live free or Die! I don't need Bush spying on law abiding americans and taking our freedoms. Anyone who surrenders a square inch of freedom to the government in the name of saftey is a traitor and should be treated like one! Let the Bush Fashists all drop dead! Filthy Commys! LET FREEDOM RING!

Bush’s giant Right Wing Noise Machine (RWNM) loves to preach about the Bush economic miracle. In fact, the RWNM’s current thinking is Bush doesn’t spend enough time talking about his economic triumphs. If only he did, then everyone would fall in line and believe in the great Bush economic miracle. There is one problem with this argument: it’s a lie. Any way you look at the Bush economy, it comes up short. Today, I want to compare Bush’s job creation record with other economic recoveries. As usual, Bush comes up way short. The national Bureau of Economic Research has identified...

After reading all of the crap that people have been saying regarding Adult Private Social Clubs, I felt that I had to post an article and give my opinion. I am sick and tired of all the religous groups that are saying that there are drugs, prostitution, minors, non-consenting people, and just immoral people at these clubs! First of all, who do these people think they are to decide what is morally right or wrong for me? I believe that I have a good set of morals. I am a law abiding, tax paying citizen, I work full time and...

I've grown up in Oklahoma and went through Boy Scouts (am an Eagle Scout) learning to shoot various types of firearms but haven't even touched one in 5+ years.

Whatever did happen to Kweisi Mfume? You remember Kweisi, that one-time Baltimore youth hell-raiser who sired five children out of wedlock – but who reformed himself enough to get elected to Congress and then president of the NAACP. He is currently running for the Democratic nomination for U.S. senator from Maryland. So what did Kweisi do on Saturday, Oct. 15? Well, he enlisted as one of the speakers at Louis Farrakhan's "Millions More Movement" event – the 10th anniversary of the (alleged) "Million Man March," which never reached anywhere near that number, then or on the 15th. The Washington Post...

"A decree of death has been passed on America. The judgment of God has been rendered and she must be destroyed..."Louis Farrakhan - 1997 Louis Farrakhan is at it again. With the “Millions More Movement” he has catapulted himself back into the media spotlight in a manner that must make Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton green with envy. One thing that doesn’t get a lot of mention, although most Americans are certainly aware of it, is the fact that Farrakhan isn’t just another “Liberal Black Leader Wannabe.” Farrakhan is the leader of the American Islamic movement, The Nation of Islam....

I’ve never purported to be any sort of leader for black America. The current crop of “leadership” is rife with crackpots like Farrakhan (who also happens to be an anti-semite), and hustlers and shakedown artists like Sharpton/Jackson. Sharpton never saw a camera he didn’t like. He regularly inserts race into issues they have no place being, and he is strongly in the “blame whitey first” camp even when it has no actual ground to stand on. Yeah, he was lively in the Democratic debates, but it was also disgusting to have him up there. Jackson was once a shining star...

Ironically, his supporters always call him "the honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan," though he is anything but honorable. Farrakhan was back, with a "Millions More" march on Washington to commemorate the so-called Million Man March of a decade ago.

The Anti-Defamation League strongly condemned Saturday's Millions More March organized by Nation of Islam chief Louis Farrakhan, calling the event a "sideshow of racists." A roster of speakers distributed by the organizers of the Millions More Movement to publicize a kick-off event includes several "noted racists and anti-Semites on the extremist fringe," the ADL said, complaining that the event was "tainted with bigotry." "All along, Louis Farrakhan and his minions have suggested that this march will be different, that it will embrace diversity in a show of solidarity and strength," said Abraham Foxman, ADL National Director. "Now we see what...

This time, a decade later, the people came not just to make a statement, but to look for a little inspiration and guidance. Aquil Malik brought a handful of teenagers from Newark, N.J., where he is trying to keep them from descending into the life of violence that landed him in prison for robbery and murder. "I came here to see what other groups are doing," said Malik, a car salesman who finished serving his term right after the Million Man March in 1995. "I need to take something back home." snip "We charge America with criminal neglect," said Farrakhan,...

On the eve of the Million Man March 10th anniversary, activist and radio personality Joe Madison joins a forum on the image of Blacks in American media. Black writers and media professionals discuss media coverage of race during Hurricane Katrina. The event takes place at the Howard Univ. School of Law, in Washington, DC.

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...

Bakewell added: "Of course we think today about Katrina. If New Orleans doesn't do right by black people there, we must paralyze that city. We have to do honor to people who built that city."

You know, tomorrow is a fascinating day, ladies and gentlemen. Tomorrow is showdown Saturday. This is Open Line Friday. Tomorrow is a Saturday that will test aspirations. It will test hopes and dreams. Will they reject the past and look to building a better future? If you think I'm talking about the referendum in Iraq, you're only partially correct. I am talking about that. They're going to be voting on the constitution there tomorrow....

Residents to march for black issues in D.C. By Corey G. Johnson, The Daily Reflector Saturday, October 15, 2005 About 150 Greenville residents loaded buses at C.M. Eppes recreation center Friday night to participate in today's Millions More Movement in Washington, D.C. Inspired by the Rev. Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam, today's event on Capitol Hil is expected to include appearances by the Rev. Jesse Jackson, the Rev. Al Sharpton and representatives from the NAACP, SCLC, the National Council for Negro Women and numerous other leaders in the areas of religion education and entertainment. Billed as commemoration of...

C-Span is televising the Million Man March or "Millions More Movement" right now, and I saw on another board that Louis Farrakhan will be speaking soon. Considering his UFO and levee stuff, it could be entertaining in a sick way so I wanted to post this in case anyone wants to watch it.

Here we go......

Thursday, Oct. 13, 2005 11:50 p.m. EDT Bill Clinton Endorsed Farrakhan March When Nation of Islam chief Louis Farrakhan brings his Millions More Movement to Washington, D.C. this weekend, he's likely to elaborate on recent claims that New Orleans' levees were bombed during Hurricane Katrina, and reiterate his complaint that the Red Cross is "too white." The question is, will he still have ex-President Bill Clinton's blessing when he does? In May, before Katrina sent Farrakhan into conspiracy overdrive, Clinton endorsed the Millions More March, telling New York City's Amsterdam News, "I think this is a very positive idea." Speaking...

WASHINGTON - Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan says he wants this weekend's gathering on the National Mall to be the start of a long-range movement to empower minorities, not just a one-day event. Dubbed the Millions More Movement, Saturday's event marks the 10th anniversary of the Million Man March. "We're tired of begging others to do for us what we have the capacity to pool our resources — intellectually and financially — to do for ourselves," Farrakhan said Thursday at the National Press Club. "We will make demands from our government, but we know those demands will fall on...

'Millions More' Not Adding Up To the Original Celebration Begins Tomorrow By Robert E. Pierre and Hamil R. Harris Washington Post Staff Writers Thursday, October 13, 2005; B01 Ask black men who attended the Million Man March in 1995 about the experience, and a typical response is a smile and a gaze into a faraway place followed by wistful remembrances of the "brothers" they met and the lift in spirits they felt for weeks and months after it was over. Keith Brockington missed the inspiring pep rallies in advance of the march, the caravan of buses from all over the...

The Brady Campaign is trying to scare the wits out of tourists planning a visit to Florida. This courtesy of the Scotsman.com: "IT IS Britain's most popular transatlantic holiday destination, attracting more than 1.5 million visitors a year with its sun-drenched beaches, theme parks and wildlife. But Florida's £30 billion tourism industry is under threat from a campaign launched by a gun-control group which warns visitors they could be killed. A series of alarming adverts, to be placed in British newspapers, warns potential tourists about a new law allowing gun owners to shoot anyone they believe threatens their safety."
