Farrakhan In His Own Words
On the US Government
“I’m talking about the U.S. government and the plots that they enact against Black politicians that they’re losing control over. They’ll come with some fake stuff, offering you this but there’s a camera, so that you will lose confidence in your Black leadership, who are only following the path of their White predecessors.”
Speech at Mosque Maryam, Chicago, 7/26/09
“I told him [Michael Jackson] I was going to the national press club and that I was going to talk to the world about the neoconservatives, most of whom are Zionists, and their program for a new American century where they were advising the government and Bush in particular. And the policies that were made during the Bush Administration were all out of this project for a new American century by the neoconservatives.”

“Why don't the members of Congress speak when they know that the things that Israel is doing will hurt them, and hurt America as well? It is because they are afraid that if they go against what is seemed to be beneficial to Israel, they will lose their position? That means that these people are no longer the representatives of the American people. They are the representatives of the money interests that they fear; that control them.”
Interview with WVON AM, Chicago, 4/2/09
“When the people of Gaza were being slaughtered, the pro-Israeli lobby sent messages to the House and the Senate of words that they wanted them to use, gave them the language, and now you have bipartisan support. And there's not a vote that the pro-Israeli lobby wants that doesn't get bipartisan support. Why? Because the Israeli lobby controls the government of the United States of America.”
Saviours’ Day, Rosemont, Illinois, 3/1/09
“You cannot deny the pro-Israeli lobby and get reelected. Ask Cynthia McKinney. Ask David Hilliard. Ask our mayor in Oakland, California. Ask Percy, the former Senator. Ask Jimmy Carter. You can't criticize, you can't say nothin' because if you do, you're branded as an anti-Semite.”
Saviours’ Day, Rosemont, Illinois, 3/1/09
“Why, U.S. Congress, will you not speak? It is because you fear a lobby that has money and influence that will turn you out of your seat? So you're terrorized. That's why you don't act for the American people that sent you to Congress. You are not their representative. You are the representative of the money and interests that have bought your soul.“
Saviours’ Day, Rosemont, Illinois, 3/1/09
“President Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who are under the influence of Zionists, [sic] can never be dispassionate brokers for peace. Pres. Bush and Sec. Rice will always come down on the side of Israel to the detriment of America and any real peace that could be made in that region of the world.”
“If the international community would deal fairly, they could prevent a war that is triggered by an unprovoked attack on Iran. However, the Zionists have worked their way into control in America, Britain, France, Germany and other countries of the world.”
“Year-end Interview” with the Final Call, 1/6/08
“FEMA is too White to represent us and so is the Red Cross.”
Power Center, Houston, Texas, 9/11/05
What is going on in the world is a battle between “theocracy” and “democracy.” “Theo” and “cratis” are Greek words. “Cratis” in Greek means “rule.” In Latin, it’s “craci.” In English, you change the “i” to a “y”—“cracy” (rule). “Theo” in Greek means “god.” The Greek word is “demos”—demos cratis. In Latin, it’s demon craci. In English, you drop the “n,” put a “y” on the end, and you have democracy. “Democracy” is “the rule of the people,” but what kind of people? It’s the very opposite of theocracy. It’s the rule of a devil…. The enemy is plotting, through democracy, to make the whole world submit to so-called democratic values, so that the demons of the West can rule all the darker peoples of the world under “demo cracy.”

“I hasten to tell you that the precious lives that were lost in the World Trade Center was a cover, a cover for a war that had been planned to bring a pipeline through Afghanistan to bring oil from that region, oil owned by Unical of which Dick Cheney is a stock holder.”
Saviours' Day Speech, Chicago, 2/23/03
“It is not accidental that the Black male is in the condition he is in...” This is because of a “…conspiracy of our government against the Black male” along with “…our [Blacks'] failure to accept responsibility for our actions...”
Meet The Press interview, 10/12/97
The Final Call (September 2, 1997) reported that “he [Farrakhan] said Blacks in America are under a ‘death decree’ from the U.S. government but America is under a ‘decree of death’ from God.” (Baltimore, August 15, 1997) He also told that same audience that there is a “conspiracy to dumb you down.”
(Note: Final Call is the newspaper of the Nation of Islam)
“A decree of death has been passed on America. The judgement of God has been rendered and she must be destroyed…”
