Calling this weekend's earthquake in Chile a divine precursor to his planned speech, controversial Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan predicted on Sunday that America will face its own imminent disaster and must prepare.
Delivering a message titled "The Time and What Must Be Done," Farrakhan addressed thousands at Chicago's United Center as part of an annual celebration of Saviours' Day, marking the birth of W. Fard Muhammad, who founded the faith 80 years ago.
"It's not an accident that a great earthquake took place in Chile," Farrakhan, 76, said an hour into his three-hour address. "It (precipitated) what I have to tell you today of what's coming to America. You will not escape."
"I will speak to the kings and rulers of the world. I will speak to the pope and the religious leaders because you have to know that your time has come," he said. "I desire to guide you and warn you of things that are coming that you must try to prepare yourselves for because we are absolutely living in the change of worlds."
Though some of Farrakhan's past remarks have been labeled anti-Semitic and racist, his supporters say he has been misunderstood and misrepresented by the media. In his speech Sunday, he recounted events in the 1980s where he was barred from hotels and other destinations after declaring support for Libya, implicated at the time in acts of state-sponsored terrorism. On Sunday, he blamed the international cold shoulder on the "reach of the Zionists."

I just resent the remark. Im sure hes watched, but not for racial reasons. Hes a look!
Hey! If he gets a pass because he is Black, then those of us that know better will watch him because he is Black. And Kooky Farooky did not convince a single Black person to vote for Obama. They were all voting for him anyway.

So...is he implying that Pat Robertson was right about Haiti?
If earthquakes are divine vengeance, is he saying that Haitians had it coming too?

He's counting on the earthquakes propensity to keep moving up the Ring of Fire - and with all the extra rains and snows in southern regions with faults that could cause more mud than usual seeping down and lubricating the sections of the opposing plates that are hung up against each other - causing a slip - and bam!
So it sounds like he's done a bit of study on earthquakes and in gambling that we well may see a big one up here soon. Then his followers would look to him a a god...he knew, he brought it down upon our infidel heads....
yeah, shyster, huckster.
