Christmas Vultures (12/20/15 Speech)

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. I bear witness that there is no God but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His Messenger. I further bear witness that Master Fard Muhammad is God in person, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad is the Exalted Christ, and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan is the Jesus in our midst today. I greet all of you, the people of God, in the greeting words of peace, we say it in the Arabic words of As-Salaam Alaikum.

I got the call to speak today just a few hours ago, and I pondered, what in the world do I say? Then I thought: Christmas is coming up. Some of y’all probably already got your trees, nicely decorated, the star on top. Some of y’all got the Santa Claus and reindeer statues outside of your houses, lighting up the midnight. Some of y’all probably even preparing roasted, honey-glaze ham.

Or, most of y’all are probably boycotting all of that foolishness, and rightly so.

When you break down the word “Christmas” you get, “Christ-Mass.” So originally, Christmas was supposed to be a mass gathering for the worship of Christ. But today, the “Christ” has been replaced by an “X” for the unknown because we don’t really know why there’s a mass gathering anymore. Christ and his 12 disciples have been cut almost completely out of the picture by Satan Claws, C-L-A-W-S, also known as Santa Clause, and his whatever number of flying reindeer.

The real reason a mass gathering takes place in the Christmas season? For the White business owners to profit off of the suffering masses. Now, I’m talking about those Christmas vultures that prey off of the mentally dead.

Black people swear that we’re poor, but somehow we own the latest phones, the latest Playstation, the newest pair of brand-name shoes. Somehow we spend $3.3 billion dollars a year on tobacco and $3 billion per year on alcohol. Collectively we spend $1.1 trillion dollars in this nation’s economy.

We swear that we’re poor, but every holiday season, somehow, someway, we spend, spend, spend. And the real reason a mass gathering takes place is for the White business owners to take the money you so gracefully give him, even though his brother is in the court saying “not guilty” to the terrorists that prey on us in our own communities, even though his cousin is on the police force beating young brothers and sisters down at swimming pools, in classrooms, on the streets, or anywhere, and even though his uncle is writing the laws that keep you and I mentally enslaved and physically downtrodden.

The profiteers has rewritten Christmas to make it about selling products, but Farrakhan is calling on Black people, Brown people, our Native American brothers and sisters, and even poor whites to bring the “Christ” back in “Christmas.” It is in this spirit that the Minister has called for a boycott on Christmas, not on Jesus, but on Christmas.

The Minister had an article in the Final Call titled, “Why We Are Calling You to Boycott Christmas.” In the article, he says, “Let’s look at the money that the business people get for Christmas: All the holidays that America celebrates brings in a total of three-quarters of $1 trillion ($750 billion) – and $602.1 billion of this $750 billion pie comes in just two months, November and December, which makes up nearly 30% of a retailer’s annual sale.”

He continues, “Holidays are a bonanza for the business community. But the worst of these holidays is “Thanksgiving” and “Christmas.”

He later says, “The best gift you could give on Christmas is you: Your heart, your love for your family and your friends. Let’s make this Christmas a Christmas where Christ is back in the center of what we believe is his birth date….let’s keep that money in our pocket.”

Beware of the Christmas vultures, because as the Bible says, “wheresoever the eagles gather, there the carcass lies.” The birds of prey seem to be circling over the Black community, sucking our life-blood, sucking us economically dry. And we seem to surrender to these birds of prey, willingly giving them what they seek. It’s time for us to make the chase a little bit harder. Be the or else by depriving the Christmas vultures of your money.

Up With Jesus, Down With Santa.

Thank you for listening, and I leave you as I came, with the greeting words of peace, As-Salaam Alaikum.

The Blood Moon and the Changing of Worlds (10/25/15 Speech)

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. I greet you all with the greeting words of peace, we say it in the Arabic words of As-Salaam Alaikum.

Some weeks before 10.10.15, there was news about a red blood moon. I recognized the blood moon as signs of the time, but I wanted to know what brother student minister Thomas thought. So, I asked him a simple question: What do you think of the blood moon?” Little did I know that he would pull up a chair and teach us youth fully about the significance of the blood moon and what it represents.

Mother Tynetta Muhammad wrote an article on May 8, 2014 titled, “A Testimony of the Living Christ – The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad’s Exalted State With His Lord.” For the sake of time, I won’t read the whole article, but you can look it up later and read it for yourself. In the article, she talked about the blood red Lunar Eclipse. She wrote, and I quote, “The event will occur six months and 23 days after its first sequence on April 15^th (2014). This particular phenomenon of the blood red Lunar Eclipse will appear once again on September 28^th, 2015, 11 months and 51 days later. This entire phenomenon from April 15,2014 to September 28, 2015 covers approximately one and one half years in fulfillment of prophecy. Looking at those dates, we discover that the fullness of these previous celestial events and signs displayed in the heavens occurred this year in the month of April, corresponding to several Jewish and Christian religious holidays. The month of April also coincided with the little known history of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad’s first journey into Mexico also during the Easter week of April in the year 1974, on the heels of a death-plot which led to his departure in 1975, 11 months later. The complete Solar Eclipse, which occurred on April 29^th, completes the conjunctions of the sun, moon, stars and earth conjoined with the other 8 planets of our Solar System in Battle array aligned to the prophecy of the end time.”

Later in the article, she referenced the book of Matthew, Chapter 4 verses 29-31, which states, “Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet and they will gather together His elect from the 4 winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”

What is the significance of the blood moon occurring on Jewish and Christian religious holidays? The Honorable Elijah Muhammad put up two flags. He put up the flag of America with the people under it primarily Christian while America herself is ruled by the Jews and Zionists, and he put up the flag of Islam which represents freedom, justice and equality. Let’s keep in mind that the color red represents, war and bloodshed. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad asked the question of the two flags, “Which one will survive the War of Armageddon?” The blood moon occurring on Jewish and Christian religious holidays seems to suggest that we are at war against the so-called Jews who even Jesus had to contend with, and we are at war with the slave-mindset the church put on the Indigenous people of the earth.

What does Matthew mean when he says that the Son of Man will come on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory? Can a man really ride on clouds, which are nothing more than evaporated water? I don’t think I can address these questions without first addressing the words of Ezekiel.

Ezekiel Chapter 1 Verse 4 says, “And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire.” In Chapter 10, Ezekiel refers to the cloud as, “O wheel!”

The cloud in the Book of Matthew and in Ezekiel represents a giant, wheel-shaped object in the sky. The scripture Mother Tynetta referenced is talking about a man who will come riding in a wheel-shaped object, also known as UFO’s, also know as the Mother Plane, and this man will have great power and glory.

What does any of this have to do with the red blood moon? The blood moon represents the changing of worlds. We currently live under the power of Satan, but soon and very soon, Satan’s world will be destroyed completely and a new world will come into existence. Did you all see what happened to South Carolina after the churches and other places denied the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan access when he wanted to pay homage to our 9 brothers and sisters that the skunk Dylan Roof killed? And on 10.10.15, the Minister warned us to watch the weather because the calamities will increase in strength.

In early October, after the blood moon occurred, scientists discovered that Pluto has blue skies and frozen red ice. NASA doesn’t have answers for why Pluto has red ice. Pluto is a very unique planet because it has been disregarded as a planet just like the Black man has been disregarded as a human being. Scientists are still debating on whether or not Pluto should regain her planetary status. It is also time, now, for the Black man and woman of America to take our places at the head of the Kingdom that Allah (God) is bringing in. Pluto was discovered in 1930, the same year Master Fard Muhammad made Himself known to seek and to save the lost Black man and woman of America. Pluto is seen as a dwarf planet in the eyes of this world’s scientists just like Blacks are seen as 3/5ths of a human being, but in Allah’s eyes, Pluto is, in fact, a very large planet. So, the scriptures say that the bottom rail will rise to the top and the first shall be the last. Pluto has become one of the major planets focused on by scientists, whether they refuse to call it an actual planet or not. Now, Allah has manifested to them frozen, red ice on Pluto. As the world’s attention is focused on Pluto and other celestial bodies and events in the sky like the recent blood moon, the world’s attention is also focused on the Black man and woman, especially with the Justice or Else Movement.

Did you see the pictures of the 20^th Anniversary of the Million Man March? Did you see the unity of the Black, the Red and the Brown? Allah knows what’s in the sky but manifests what was once hidden to the scientists of this world, and Allah knows the value of the Black man and woman of America and is now manifesting our power through the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. Something new is happening in America, perhaps the changing of worlds.

Thank you for listening. I leave you as I came with the greeting words of peace, As-Salaam Alaikum.

How God Sees the Female

Originally Posted on The Journal

The beginning of time started with the beginning of God. The light of an Atom emerged out of the darkness of space, and this Atom multiplied and took the form of the first Man, whom we call God.

God created Himself, and He created His mate of the same essence. If He created His mate of the same essence, then the woman is from Him.

The woman is so important in God’s eyes that 75% of His work, when trying to clean up the wicked world we live in today, is with the woman. It is through the woman that nations rise and fall, because the woman co-creates with God in order to produce the next generation of little gods or little devils.

As God created Himself out of the womb of triple darkness, it is in the womb of that same darkness that life is sparked.  The woman suffers a pain likened unto death in order to give birth. She is valuable to God because she produces the agents He will use to bring about complete change and the agents He will use to guide man into eventual perfection.

 In the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan’s Save Our Girls message delivered on April 18, 2015, he said, “God is “Self-Created.” He doesn’t have a “mommy” or “daddy.” He created Himself. Wow! So if He is “Self- Created”: He looked within Himself and found you (the woman), and out of Himself He created wo(mb)-man. How great are you to be The Second-Self of God?”

 If you are the Second-Self of God, then you have to treat yourself like a Queen on her throne. Your vessel and your mind has to be ready to give birth to a god. You should treat yourself like royalty, and treat the women around you like royalty. I’m altering the scriptures around a little bit when I ask, “How can you love God whom you have never seen yet hate your sister whom you see everyday?”

 How did I come to treat myself like a Queen? When I was little, I wasn’t very confident in myself. Some days I would walk kind of with my head down and with my shoulders slouched. Over time, I began to realize how valuable I am, especially to God.

The first time I KNEW that God was looking out for me, I was in 2nd grade. I was walking home from school with my sister and brother when a black, wolf-like dog appeared across the street. We were about to take off running when a red van stopped right in front of the dog, and the woman in the driver’s seat told us to keep walking. So, we continued on our way, and when she drove away, the dog was gone. I still don’t know the fullness of what happened that day, but I know God acted through that woman to save us.

That event kind of began my personal relationship with God, but I didn’t really understand my value until my early teenage years. I had people in my life tell me that God was in me.  I began to digest the words of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, words telling me that the woman is the Mother of Civilization, and that civilization is judged by the female. His words told me that the women around Jesus were covered, and that the woman is the helpmeet of the man. A woman can’t help a man be non-productive, so I realized that I shouldn’t give myself to any man who isn’t producing anything. These are just a few words about my personal journey with understanding my value.

When I look at the beautiful women around the world, not necessarily physical beauty but inner beauty, I have diamonds in my eyes because you are an indispensable jewel. So, how does God see you? In an article by Mother Tynetta Muhammad, she wrote, “The Secret of God lies in the woman.  This means that the True Knowledge of God and the True Knowledge of self cannot be understood without the woman, the female, Second Self of God, coming from the Divine Word of God in giving birth to a New World Civilization and Kingdom of Peace with unlimited progress, Freedom, Justice and Equality for all.”

Minister Farrakhan’s Demand for Justice or Else (Speech)

I want to talk to you briefly about Justice, because that’s what time it is. It’s also a time of separation, but they go hand in hand, because if we keep asking our enemy for justice and getting injustice, then it’s time to separate. No, we have to stop ASKING for justice, and we are going to stop. On October 10, 2015, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan is leading an army – when I say army, I mean “a large number of people formed or organized for a particular purpose.” He is leading an army to demand what? Justice or else.

Asking and demanding are synonyms, yet they have different meanings. When you ask somebody something, you’re requesting. You’re not authoritative, and whatever you ask can be denied. A demand, on the other hand, is when you ask authoritatively. You don’t give the person you’re asking a choice to say no. You’re making an insistent request that must be obeyed immediately or there will be consequences.

We’re no longer asking for justice. We’re demanding it. What if they deny our request to get justice? I looked up the definition of “or else,” and it is used to introduce the second of two alternatives. It’s used to indicate negative consequences that will result if an action or demand is not met. So, give us justice or else.

Or else what?

I love bringing the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan to the witness stand. In a lecture he delivered called, “Justice is the Joy of Freedom,” on November 20, 2010, he said, “The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us that “Justice is The Weapon that God will use in The Judgment of this present world,” so justice is not just a “law that distinguishes between right and wrong.” Justice is a guide to fair dealing.

“But how does justice become a “weapon”? Jesus said: “God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth, the same shall he also reap.” Just think about that for a moment. Then the scripture teaches: “As thou hast done, so shall it be done unto thee”—now that’s justice as a weapon.

“Jesus again said: “Sow the wind and reap the whirlwind,” so just like you sow a seed and get back so much more then what you put in, in the Day of Justice and Judgment, The Wicked will get back more based on what they’ve done. And the scripture teaches: “He will pluck them up and leave them neither root nor branch,” so that means that the things that we do, we’re going to have to give an account of it.”

Protestors use slogans like, “No Justice, No Peace.” The Minister said that the fruit of Justice is Peace. If the fruit of Justice is Peace, then the fruit of injustice is War.

He delivered another lecture called “Justice: A Prerequisite to Life” on October 24, 1987. In the lecture, he said, “We cannot live without justice. Justice is a prerequisite to life. It is one of the internal principles that The Creator of the heavens and the earth has decreed that every creature should have the freedom to be what God created it to be. And every creature is born under a law, and that law justifies that creature and renders it equal. So Freedom, Justice and Equality are not conferred on us by the Constitution, but Freedom, Justice and Equality are conferred on us by our Creator.

“Any decent human being who has a responsibility of government must see to it that the people and their right of freedom is protected. They must see that the people get justice and equal protection under the law. It is for this reason that the founding fathers of America decided to break away from England, because they felt that The Creator had endowed all of us with certain inalienable rights that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and to this end, governments are formed.

“But when those governments become an enemy to that life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, then the Founding Fathers said they would break the ties that bind them to that order, and set up a new order that will give them that which that government that they are separating from has denied them.”

I was reading an article online about the origin of “No Justice, No Peace.” The article said, “No justice, no peace uses the logical form of the American revolutionary slogan No taxation without representation.”

When America sought to separate from England, the colonists used the slogan, “No taxation without representation,” which simply means that if you deny us the right to represent ourselves in your government, we’re not giving you our taxes. The colonists felt that England was not keeping their best interests in mind, and they started a revolution that ultimately ended in them becoming an independent nation with independent governance.

Now, America has become an enemy to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We have to break the ties that bind us to America’s Government and Justice system and set up a new government and system that will give us that which America’s government that we are separating from has denied us.

Justice and separation go hand-in-hand. God will use His Weapon of Justice to force us who are denied Justice to separate from those who deny us.

If we are continually deprived of Justice, we’re going to wage economic warfare on this country. The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan is calling serious minds to Washington D.C. If you just want to play or try and bring your milquetoast teaching amongst soldiers demanding Justice, then you should stay behind. We’re making a serious demand for Justice. The time of playing with this deadly dragon is up.

We are at war with a system of White supremacy. We are at war with systematic racism. We are at war with a Shadow Government who use their policies to commit worldwide genocide against the darker people of the earth. As Muslims, we are taught to fight with those who fight with us but to never be the aggressor. We are being exterminated by those who are supposed to protect the people, and the killers of us aren’t being charged, aren’t being indicted, and aren’t being locked up. When we say, “Justice or else,” we have to be willing to carry out those negative consequences that will break Satan’s world into pieces.

On page 295 of The Theology of Time, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, “The devil work must be cast out and the evil world must be destroyed. The evil world must be shown the Justice of God to destroy her. She is destroying us and had us blind, deaf and dumb without knowledge of her. Now she is open wide to you and Me that we may know her and know that God is not doing an injustice to her. He is justified in destroying her and He will punish you if you go along with it. He will punish you on this side by disgracing you or let you disgrace yourself. To escape this disgrace come follow Me.”

Let us show the enemy that we are tired of this injustice against us by standing with the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan for the 20^th Anniversary of the Million Man March in Washington D.C. on October 10, 2015.

The Demand for Justice

The theme for the 20th Anniversary of the Million Man March is “Justice or Else.” Be present in Washington D.C. on October 10, 2015 for the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan’s address to those who are deprived of justice, to the government of the United States and to the nations of the earth.

The Many Victims of White Supremacy

Top 3 Tips on Overcoming Writer’s Block

Originally posted on The Journal

Writer’s block is a condition that many people suffer from. Writer’s block, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, is the problem of not being able to think of something to write about or not being able to finish writing a story, poem or etcetera. I can’t count how many times I’ve suffered from writer’s block, but I can give you the top tips that allowed me to bounce back.

1. There’s an infinite number of thoughts running through your mind at 24 billion miles per second. Jot them down!

A good way to overcome writer’s block is by free-writing. If something is burdening you that is keeping you from writing, write down what’s on your mind. On my computer I have a folder called “Words of my Mind.” What I wrote in this folder is almost incoherent. I didn’t worry about grammar. I didn’t worry about capitalization or spelling. I just closed my eyes and wrote. In this exercise, you’re not focusing on anybody else but you. This allows you to not only get a handle on what’s going on in your life, but it kicks writer’s block to the curve!

2. Observe your surroundings.

Look at the people around you. Look at a seemingly boring object and find a way to make it interesting. One example is a poem, The Red Wheelbarrow, by William Carlos Williams. He wrote, “so much depends upon a red wheel barrow glazed with rain water beside the white chickens.” Look at the sky, the clouds, the grass, ants and birds. The beauty about writing is that you can find inspiration anywhere and everywhere if you just observe.

3. Don’t force it. Let it flow. If it doesn’t flow, take a break and revisit later.

This is something that I’m learning, now. Good writing cannot be forced, but if God puts something on your mind that needs to be let out, then let it flow naturally. Write what comes to mind, and worry about mistakes, later. Something ALWAYS comes to mind. Sometimes, we know WHAT we want to say, but we don’t know HOW to say it. I suffer from this even now. I know how I want a piece of writing to come out, but I don’t know how to write what I envision. And, you know what ends up happening? I end up leaving that piece hanging for months. When I come back to it, I somehow get the words down. I’m not telling you to leave what you’re working on for months! That is a bad practice that I need to work on. I’m telling you to take a break. Relax. Refresh yourself. Come back to it with a new mindset.

 

These are just 3 things I do to get myself writing. As a writer, I’ve come to find out that inspiration hits at odd times. You may be in the car, in the shower or trying to sleep. The best ideas come when you’re in a position of relaxation, and you have to be ready to write them down before you lose them.

I want to end with a quote from the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. During an #AskFarrakhan session on Twitter, he was asked, “What do you do to get through writer’s block?”

The Minister replied, “When you reach that point, stop and turn to Him Who gave you that brain to think and the hand to write, and ask Him to feed you, that you may write some more. Sometimes you’re just tired and you need to back away from something, and refresh yourself, and come back to it. May Allah bless you that whenever you have writer’s block that you will seek God, your Creator, by whatever name you call Him. The block will be removed.”
