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.

It’s 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’ 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, “I know it is and more is on the way. Let me quote you somie- thing here, I’m 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”.

You havent seen the wrath of yet. : oo Farrakhan warns that, “this 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’m 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, “this 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.” The summation of Minister Farrakhan’s press conference message on the eve of the 10 Anniversary Million Man March Commemora- tion Millions More Movement Event- obits cngids of the Minister himself: “Our, people can: neyer be successful until there is a moral revival and a spiritual enlightenment among our people.
