FARRAKHAN TALKS LIBYA, WARNS OF CATASTROPHE HEADED FOR AMERICA

(FinalCall.com | 03-31-2011) - The Minister called the news conference to address U.S. policy in the Middle East and military attacks on Libya. He again condemned U.S. military action against Libya and warned the president about tricks that could lead to his disgrace and ruin.

Hey I know we just met.  Um, this is kinda awkward. I guess no one briefed you but I'm about to bomb your country! Obama to Gadhafi

Farrakhan said he originally called the news conference to warn the country about a huge earthquake that he's foreseen, cautioning that Americans "are worse prepared than the Japanese," who are trying to recover from a devastating earthquake and tsunami that touched off a nuclear crisis.


Farrakhan has publicly defended Gadhafi at several recent events, including the Nation of Islam's annual Saviours' Day convention in February and at a civil rights convention last week. He said the U.S. government shouldn't be attacking Libya when it has stayed out of other conflicts around the world.

Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan defended Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi as a “brother” during a two-hour news conference on Thursday, while refraining from condemning President Obama personally for America’s support of the rebels.

“A dangerous trick” is being played on Obama, Farrakhan said. 

“I warned him, brother be careful because the steps he is taking will ruin [his] future with Africa and the Middle East,” Farrakhan told the audience.

“I love Gadhafi, and I love our president. It grieves me to see my brother president set a policy that would remove this man not only from power but from the earth,” Farrakhan said.

Throughout his speech, Farrakhan characterized himself as a biblical prophet who is charged with warning America of a coming calamity.

“Death and destruction is at the door of all of us, and we are worse prepared than the Japanese,” Farrakhan warned, and he called the government “arrogant” for thinking that nuclear reactors here are secure when two of them are sitting on fault lines.
