FOXX APPOINTMENT
from Pg. 1
Foxx said. oPeople from all over the world
are looking at these images and sying,
wow; we just really want to help. at
the end of the day its all of us.

Foxx, a native of Terrell, Texas, is
only the second male in history to re-
ceive two acting Oscar nominations
in the same year for two different
movies. In 2005, Foxx won the Acad-
emy Award as Best Actor for his role

street they call it justified homicide.
But why can't a parent have the power
to discipline their child? So you see
the social engineering [of the family}
is more the culprit than the church,
the home or the school.

: Clemons: Minister
Farhan in 1995 the theme of the
Millions Man March was atonement

and the theme for the Millions More
Movement 2005 is Unity. Can you
cite gained appreciable differences
from that point up till now [or cite
pethaps what we have failed to do]?
A; : 10 years ago God
used me to call for one Million Men
to come to Washington, and. nearly
more than 2 million came. As a re-
sult of that call 25,000 orphans found
homes, 1.7 million Black men voted
in the next election that did not vote
before, the crime and murder rate
went down in most major cities, and

many left inspired to live up to the
pledge. that each one took thet day.
Many of those men went back and
began to pay child support for their
children, mentoring programs and
many new businesses sprung up.
The thing that I said then that I
can saw now with truth as the scri
ture says- if my people which are called
by name would humble themselves
and pray and seek my face and turn
from their wicked ways then will ]
hear from heaven, forgive their sins

and heal their land. Unfortunately we
humbled ourselves enough and cer-
tainly are not seeking the pleasure of
his f » MOF are we in mass turning
from our wicked ways.

So now teaching is not happen-
ing. It Ts gonna take the whipping of
winds as you read in the 37th chapter
of Ezekiel. The son of man to
those dry bones and they all heard and
rallied T and said right on brother like
we do whenever we have great articu-
late spokespersons, but the time of ar-
ticulate spokespersons is up.

What was in the Gulf was a wind
[Katrina], and that wind did more in
one day to turn people to humble
themselves and pray. And now if you
realize that more of the same is com-
ing then maybe we'll turn from our
wicked ways then God will do what
he promised and heal our ways.

Ina following question, a reporter _
from the Triangle Tribunal who asked:
Minister F an are you saying that .

Hurricane Katrina was some kind of
divine vengeance, to which Farrakhan
responded, oI know it is and more is
on the way. Let me quote you somie-
thing here, I Tm not before you to tickle
your ears and I'm not before you to
play with America. The Bible says,
as a man soweth the same shall he
also reap. Thar's just not good for
you or me- that is a pricing that ap-

P- plies to the nation of America ?.

Farrakhan continued by saying,
oIf you look at the nation Ts policy you
mean to tell me that the President of

the United States can come before the .

people and create a war on the basis

the time- have a policy in advance and
the take intelligence and match intel-
ligence to a policy that was based on a
lie? ?

And noting the problem with war
in Iraq Farrakhan said, oyou think it Ts
your duty to get rid of Saddam
Hussein and take control of the

world Ts 2nd largest oil reserve and then

you drop bombs on those people,
degrade their water systems, put out
their lights, kill innocent ple and
you dont think that should come back
to You! You havent seen the wrath of

yet. : oo

Farrakhan warns that, othis is the
beginning of sorrows for the govern-
ment and people of the United States
of America. When you have a gov-
ernment that does these kinds of

ings in the name of the American
people and you back that, then you
are just as guilty as what you back.
What happened in New Orle , look
at the devastation; this has never hap-
pened in America before. You've had
rain, you've had unusual rain, you've
d hail, you've had snow, minor earth
quakes- but Jesus says Nation will rise
ainst Nation, Kingdom against
ingdom- Huh?

.- $0 all you Christian preachers
and Muslim scholars you preach this
now are you surprised that you are
seeing what you've been preaching?
Well I Tm here to tell you more is on
the way unless this government re-

- pents of her evil and we do. too, ?

And in conclusion, Farrakhan
ended on a somber note when he

"added that, othis Christian hypocrisy,

this Muslim hypocrisy this Jewish hy-
pocrisy, this Black and White hypoc-
risy must stop! And if we don't repent

I can tell you what the Holy Koran

says: one calamity after another until
she is laid low. So if the preachers don't
want to preach this and you read it,
then I will do my duty by America

_ and warn that the best is yet to come. ?

obits cngids of the Minister himself:

oOur, people can: neyer be successful
until there is a moral revival and a
spiritual enlightenment among our

to create a new educational paradigm,
