FARRAKHAN SPEECH "WHO ARE THE REAL CHILDREN OF ISREAL?" IN REVIEW (4973 hits)

ATLANTA—The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan raised the level of accountability to heights that no leader to date has done, by calling out the architects and horrors of the trans-Atlantic slave trade to thousands of attendees at Atlanta’s Civic Center and to a radio audience of nearly 14 million listeners (13,675,000—according to early media stats announced by the Nation of Islam) via radio simulcasts and live internet feeds around the United States. His subject, “Who Are the Real Children of Israel?” introduced new findings of Jewish scholars in the newly-published work of the Nation of Islam’s Historical Research Department, “The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews, Volume 2” and an additional supplement detailing how Africans were sold by Jews through, Europe, the Caribbean, and the Americas; waxing rich through Black labor in the southern United States, building Wall Street from its coffers and established cotton as the ‘king’ of an industrial age before oil.


He declared that the real children of Israel are not today’s whites occupying what was once Palestine and said the scriptures of the Bible were prophetically pointing to Black populations of America and the earth. And that if America wanted relief of some of her plagues she must bless its Blacks by returning to them land and means. He did all of this with the offer of his life if proven wrong.


“Somebody has taken the promise of God and claimed it for themselves,” said Min. Farrakhan. “But, those of you biblical and quranic scholars; today, we are prepared to call out the scholars of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. If you can disprove what we say today, then I will pay with my life for lying,” he said.


“To all of those who feel that the children of Israel are over in that place that they call Israel, you are mistaken. To the Christian Right, who feel if you bless that Israel, that you will be blessed…for over 60 years, that nation has not been blessed” he charged. Pointing to the largely Black audience in front of him, he continued, “but these are the people, that if you bless us, God will take off of America some of the plagues now coming on America, that will get worse after I deliver this message tonight.”


The Minister promised that Allah (God) would not let too many days pass before producing a calamity of major proportions in proof that God is with him. “My declaring this I know will divide scholars, theologians, Jews, Christians and Muslims. But, it is time now that a proper dialogue be set up, to answer the question that I have raised and answered.”


Some of those in attendance of the sold-out event included an additional closed-circuit audience and members of The Concerned Black Clergy of Atlanta, State Senator Roberta Abdul Salaam and Donzella James, former SCLC President Charles Steele; Rev. Dr. Barbara King of Hillside Chapel, Chairman Malik Zulu Shabazz of the New Black Panther Party, activist A. Reginald Eaves of Chairman of the People’s Agenda, Criminal Justice Committee and Pastor Gerald Durley of Providence Missionary Baptist Church.


In the near two and a half hour presentation, the Nation of Islam leader introduced volume two of the treatise, “The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews” referring to its findings throughout his presentation and urging all in attendance to purchase their own copies. He also noted that he would not be granting any interviews with talk shows and media entities without their first reading this book for themselves. In addition to the book, a letter he'd written had been distributed to all of the leading Jewish organizations and their leadership—including a letter to Anti-Defamation League (ADL) National Chairman Abraham Foxman—and copied to US President Barack Obama.


“The architecture of white supremacy has never been brought to the table to be discussed. The architecture of white supremacy will have to be exposed, so the tree of white supremacy can die and the tree of humanity can live,” he said. “Who are the draftsmen and the architects of such an idea that has dominated our planet for the last four thousand years,” he asked raising the volume for the audience view. “You will discover the architecture and the architect. You will read things that you never knew before. Things that you thought you understood. But, our research team has discovered and uncovered what has been hidden in books that you would never read. But, we have read it and now the scholarship is available.”

“I thought that tonight’s speech was significant because it spoke to the heart of where African American people are in terms of our political destiny and what we have to do for ourselves, again,” commented Pastor Durley. “It’s unfortunate that we have been engrafted into believing so many things around us, so now we have to break down the barriers. Particularly me, as an African American Christian and those in the Nation of Islam—we have to all come back together for the good of all of God’s people. That’s very significant and I think as we look at the overall, we are going to find that to be very important,” he said.


First time visitor to a message of Min. Farrakhan Ernest Smith from Atlanta said, “I think the most important thing is the honesty and not being afraid to lay it on the mind. It was extremely uplifting. I personally have a different outlook, particularly on some of those people the Minister called out. Would I come again? Most definitely and I would bring other people,” he exclaimed.


“It was eye-opening,” began State Representative Roberta Abdul Salaam. “The Minister did an excellent job of giving us an education. I grew up in Georgia, I picked cotton. We understand those relationships. My grandparents sharecropped and we are still in that same situation today. And the thing about not producing for ourselves…we ought to be producing something and for me to be serving in the legislature on economic development and tourism and for the last several years working with international trade trying to maneuver that minefield, for me it was very eye-opening.”


Dr. Barbara King noted that “the message was powerful. It’s what the people need and only the Minister can deliver it in that fashion. Because he gave us the historical information and brought it home to us for everyday living, I believe we are here to lead the world. Ministers have got to do more from the pulpit; we can’t just hoop-n-holler. You got to really bring a message to the people and this is the kind of message we have to bring to our people,” she said.


Sighting scripture from the Bible in his conclusion, Min. Farrakhan warned that he is backed by God and that he represents a dare to the world powers. “If you want to test to see if I am backed by God….God has me doing this as a dare. I dare you. It is written in the Book of Psalms, ‘Touch not my prophets and do my anointed no harm,’ he reminded. “He sits in heaven and laughs at you. And I’ll be around 'til he makes all my enemies my foot stool. I’ll walk on you, he continued.” So, if you want to show who’s got God with them, bring all your forces and come against me. And I, with the backing of my God and His Christ, will defeat you all,” he concluded.
