And we want to break it. But what do you mean, responsible? If he's innocent of murder, how could he be responsible for their murders? In the courtroom in the second trial, the lawyer is calling him a liar. He's a killer. He's a murderer. that because he's been, you know, called innocent of that. But the judge is saying, he's a murderer, he's a killer. Well, wait, if he's that, then we don't need compensatory damages, we need the gas change. But if he's not that, why do you permit them to call him that? How could the judge accept that in a court of law, when in another court of law he was tried as a killer, charged as a killer, and freed as a killer?

But in the second court, pleaded innocent of being a killer, not guilty of being a killer, yet in the second court you find him guilty of being responsible for their death. Now, that is a distinction without a difference. Well, he can live, but there's compensatory damage. Why should he pay damages for a crime he didn't commit? Well, he lied. He said he didn't beat him. But wait a minute. See, that's a trick. If he said, I did it, then they were going to justify compensatory damages.

So he slipped around it and said, I'm a starved. He didn't say, I did it. They showed pictures of her brood, brought her diary in where nobody could question the diary. I mean, you know, white folks, you all are so stupid. You're all so stupid. You're all so stupid. You're all so stupid. You're all so stupid. You're all so stupid.

You're all so stupid. You're all so stupid. You're all so stupid. You're all so stupid. You're all so stupid. You're all so stupid. You're all so stupid. You're all so stupid. You're all so stupid. You're all so stupid.

You're all so stupid. You're all so stupid. You're all so stupid. You're all so stupid. You're all so stupid. You're all so stupid. I mean, you know, white folks, you all are first. Now, the judge probably beat his wife. And all of you that beat your wife, you need to stop that. No real man will beat a woman.

So if you've got to beat her, you should leave her. If you have wisdom, you should be able to cause her to submit to wisdom. But if you have to beat a woman to make her do what is right, then you shouldn't be there. Do you know how you look in front of your children? No man looks good in front of his children beating a woman. Somebody had an experience of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad was telling him to tell us that even verbal abuse of women is sometimes worse than physical abuse. He was told to tell me, to tell you, to stop abusing your women verbally, even though you don't strike her physically, but to just try to lash her down with the tongue. unconditional love between us. Let's get back to O.J.

Now, I'm closing. The government can make a charge, whether it's state or federal, and And the government and the state has more money than the individual. And the federal government certainly has more money than any individual. So they can charge you with a crime. But when they are unable to sustain their child, by that time you've broken. Is that justice or injustice? If they can't sustain the charge, they should pay the legal fee. O.J. spent millions of dollars to prove his innocence. Now, Brother Codassi would like to help us. He's my brother, and I love him, and I really don't care what the enemy thinks about him. He is a man that has been charged with a crime that has not been proved guilty. He's been charged with bombing Pan Am 103. But what you may It came out that there was involvement of South Africa in that bombing.

It was in the Italian press, in the Austrian press, in the German press, but not in the British press, and not in the American press. How come? I'm going to send a letter to the United Nations to the Secretary General, and let those two men that are charged be tried at the International Court of Justice at the Hague under U.N. supervision. If they're guilty, then act. punish a nation of people for five years just because America's foreign policy says we must destroy Libya. See, this is a world of wickedness. And what I'm asking our brother, the Reverend Benjamin Chavis, who is now Minister Benjamin Muhammad.

I think that with the help of Conrad Warrell, the nationalist community, men like Maulana Karenga and Hasid Madabuti, and all the members of the Hebrew Israelites, and the church community I think we ought to sit down now and let's form ourselves into a nation. I believe that our people are sick and tired of these enemies exercising sovereignty over us. I would like to, on your behalf, petition the United Nations to accept us as a new nation Since we have beaten our swords into pruning hooks and our spears into plowshares and have no weapons. We are the best nation to guide the nation to peace. It may seem like an embarrassment to America, but if you want to continue to be a slave master, we do not want to continue as a slave. So, I am asking you, any time a government would go all out to kill our leaders, whom God gives us to guide us, lie on our leaders and bring them into court, and then send them to prison.

Unjustice. That government is not our friend. That's a rogue government. We just can't go along with this no more. What happened to Munkadgabi? What happened to W.E.B. Du Bois? What happened to Paul Roach? What happened to David Walker? What happened to Martin Luther King?

What happened to Malcolm X? What happened to every black organization that was destabilized by the counterintelligence program of the U.S. government? You have proved to American government, not the American people as such, but the government, that you are our enemy. We don't have a worse enemy than you. Now God has come to make friends for us, all over the world. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said to me, he said, Brother, God has made friends for you all the way around the earth, and at the proper time, you will know it. And after the million men died, I went all over the world in your name, on your behalf, and the whole world was proud of your work and our unity, cutting across religious and political lines. If we did it once, we have to do it again. Kwame, this is our dear brother, who has been to see a united earth, and we're going to get it. And we're going to get it.

Brother Kwame, as a warrior fighting cancer, he has all our prayers, but I can't see an independent nation without Kwame. I can't see an independent nation without convent. I can't see an independent nation without church, mosque, synagogue, school, economic development. We're not talking church, we're talking nature. And so as I leave you, the government of America is sanctioning the nation. Peter King, a Catholic, doesn't want members of the Nation of Islam to work in security even though our unarmed patrols have brought about a measure of peace and tranquility, and crime drops, murders drop, gang warfare drops, but they don't care nothing about that.

They snatch the brothers out because they don't want it to come back to us. Well, Mr. Peter Chitt, you're lucky that I even called your name, He informs Pete that His Holiness the Pope is now setting up diplomatic relationships with Libya and Muammar Gaddafi. Now if the Pope, your spiritual father, Mr. King, can set up diplomatic relations with Libya, which one of you will say, your Holiness, you shouldn't cavort with thugs and dictators and rogues? And next year, God willing, His Holiness intends to visit Fidel Castro in Cuba. I went to Cuba. I went to Libya.

I went to Iran. I went to Iraq. The Pope is entering into a dialogue with Iranian Muslim scholars, Islamic scholars from all over the world, that I as a Muslim am being prosecuted for visiting my own co-religion. Today the Pope calls for an end to the embargo on Cuba. Now, what are you going to say, America? Well, I'll tell you, they don't want us to have friends outside of America, unless they dictate the terms of friendship. God wants us to have friends all over the world, and as you saw today, all of them are speaking to you kindly, and they recognize your value in the struggle for justice. May Allah bless you. I ask you as I leave you, how many of you are ready to form yourself into a nation in obedience to the will of God. Stand up on your feet!

Well, remember that song we used to sing in the church? God is going to move this wicked race and raise up a nation that will obey. I want to be a part of a nation that is obedient to God. And that's what I've asked Reverend Chavis and all the pastors. Let's unite. Let's revive the Church. Revive the mosque. Revive the peoples in synagogues. Let's revive the black community, the Hispanic community, the Native American community. And let's make a motion obedient to God. I made the motion. Do you second it? Now, wait, wait, wait, wait, before you go, I've got to ask you something. Listen, they're trying to close us off from all funds. Where's that final call. I want to ask one million people, one million people, to set aside a fifty dollars, which will give you a one-year subscription to the final call, and a card with your name and number on it that will allow you for one year to purchase all my tapes, video and audio, and books at a substantial discount.

The reason I say donation is because that keeps us out of difficulty. But my word is my bond to you. subscribe to the final call. But if you just give me a $50 donation, you know how they do it on Channel 11? You've got to help me. I don't ever ask for money. If you notice, all the years you see me teach, I don't ever ask for money. I gotta get out of that bad habit. I have to ask, because if you don't help me, they won't help me, and send it to the Nation of Islam, care of Louis Farrakhan. Chicago, Illinois, 60615. That will give the nation fifty million dollars to pursue economic The Christian pastor came to Rev. Bevel and wrote out a check for $1,000, and we will have one billion dollars for economic development. I want you, if you had that thousand, send it again to the billion-dollar economic development plan.

I pledge, I pledge, that none of this money will be used for personal aggrandizement of anybody. This money will be used totally for the economic well-being and educational well-being of our people. I want to ask for members of the Hebrew-Israelite community, for members of the nationalist community, members of the educational community, to become members of the total community rather than reflective of the mission of Islam as an entity. that if nobody helps us, we ought to now help ourselves. Do you agree? But while you're standing, I think we ought to have prayer. I thank Allah for blessing this Savior's Day weekend. I thank Him for blessing us with your attendance, and above all, I thank Him for your wonderful attention.

I thank Him for all of the ministers and leaders who are on this rostrum, who honor me by your presence, I thank him for the sisters. My wife, Mother Mohammed, Mother Mohammed, and my dear sister Marsha, you look absolutely fantastic. I thank all of those who receive awards because they are great servants of our people. Lionel Hampton, Catherine Dunham, Benjamin Chavis, Reverend James Bevel. I ask our brother Tijani to come. As prayer is said, at the end of the prayer I want you to stay at attention, because to end this we will be blessed with the presence of our sister, Sister Kim Weston, who is the first person I ever heard sing the Black National Anthem in a recording. She is now a member of the Hebrew Israelite community at Dimona. This is one of the finest spiritual communities you'll find anywhere in the world. A beautiful and beloved community of servants who believe in obeying God. I thank Allah for all of them.

And that was the end of the recording that we received. Again that was from a speech on Sunday, February the 23rd, 1997. And we want to break it. But what do you mean responsible? If he's innocent of murder, how could he be responsible for their murder? In the courtroom in the second trial, the lawyer is calling him a liar. He's a killer. He's a murderer. Wait a minute, there ain't no judge that can say, wait a minute, you can't say that because he's been, you know, called innocent of that. But the judge is saying, he's a murderer, he's a killer.

Oh wait, if he's that, then we don't need competitors, damagers, we need the gas chaser. But if he's not that, why you permit them to call him that? How could the judge accept that in a court of law, when in another court of law he was tried as a killer, charged as a killer, and freed as a killer? But in the second court, pleaded innocent of being a killer, not guilty of being a killer, yet in the second court you find him guilty of being responsible for their death.

He didn't say, I beat her. brought her diary in where nobody could question the diary. I mean, you know, white folks, you need to stop that. No real man, no real man will beat a woman. So if you've got to beat her, you should leave her. If you have to shoot a woman to make her do what is right, then you shouldn't do that. Do you know how you look in front of your children? No man looks good in front of his children beating a woman.

Somebody had an experience of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad was telling him to tell us that even verbal abuse of women is sometimes worse than physical abuse. And he was told to tell me, to tell you, to stop abusing your women verbally, even though you don't strike her physically, but to just try to lash her down with the trunk. He said there should be unconditional love between us. Let's get back to O.J. Now, I'm closing. is a charge, whether it's state or federal, and the government and the state has more money than the individual, and the federal government certainly has more money than any individual. So they can charge you with a crime. But when they are unable to sustain By that time, you broke.

Is that justice or injustice? If they can't sustain the charge, they should pay the legal fee. O.J. spent millions of dollars to prove his innocence. So once he was proven innocent, then the government, the state of California. Now, Brother Codazzi would like to help us. He's my brother, and I love him, and I really don't care what the enemy thinks about him. He is a man that has been charged with a crime that has not been proved guilty. He's been charged with bombing Pan Am 103. And I know recently in the European press it came out that there was involvement of South Africa in that bombing. It was in the Italian press, in the Austrian press, in the German press, but not in the British press, and not in the American press.

How come? I'm going to send a letter to the United Nations to the Secretary General, and I'm to suspend sanctions against Libya and let those two men that are charged be tried at the International Court of Justice at the Hague under U.N. supervision. guilty, then act. But why punish a nation of people for five years just because America's foreign policy says we must destroy Libya? See, this is a world of wickedness. And what We need to build on this. I'm asking our brother, the nationalist community, men like Maulana Karenga and Hassid Madabouti, and all the members of the Hebrew Israelites, and the And the church community that want to obey God?

I think we ought to sit down now and let's form ourselves into a nation. I believe that our people are sick and tired of these enemies exercising sovereignty over us. And if we agree, I would like to, on your behalf, petition the United Nations to accept us as a new nation in the body of the United Movement. Since we have beaten our swords into pruning hooks and our spirits into proud shape, and have no weapons. We are the best nation to guide her nation to peace. It may seem like an embarrassment to America, but if you want to continue to be a slave master, we do not want to continue as a slave. We go all out to kill our leaders whom God gives us to guide us, lie on our leaders and bring them into court, and then send them to prison. Unjust.

That government is not our friend. That's a rogue government. We just can't go along with this no more. What happened to Munkadgabi? What happened to W.E.B. Du Bois? What happened to Paul Roach? What happened to David Walker? What happened to Martin Luther King? What happened to Malcolm X?

Now God has come to make friends for us all over the world. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said to me, he said, Brother, God has made friends for you all the way around the earth. And at the present moment, you are the enemy of the world. And I said, Brother, I'm not going to be a friend of the world.

I'm going to be a friend of the world. I'm going to be a friend of the world. I'm going to be a friend of the world. I'm going to be a friend of the world. I'm going to be a friend of the world. I'm going to be a friend of the world. I'm going to be a friend of the world. I'm going to be a friend of the world. I'm going to be a friend of the world. I'm going to be a friend of the world.

I'm going to be a friend of the world. God has made friends for you all the way around the earth, and at the proper time, you will know it. And after the Million Man Mass, I went all over the world in your name, on your behalf, and the whole world was proud of your work and our unity, cutting across religious and political lines.

If we did it once, we have to do it again. Kwame, this is our dear brother, who has been on the battlefield for our people. Kwame's life has been to see a united earth, and we're going to get it. And we're going to get it. Brother Kwame, as a warrior fighting cancer, he has all our prayers, but I can't see an independent nation without Maulana. I can't see an independent nation without Conrad. I can't see an independent nation without church, mosque, synagogue, school, economic development. We're not talking church, we're talking nation.

Peter King, a Catholic, doesn't want members of the Nation of Islam to work in security patrols, even though our unarmed patrols have brought about a measure of peace and tranquility, and crime drops, murder drops, gang warfare drops. But they don't want government money, which is our own tax money, and money that you robbed our fathers of. You don't want it to come back to us. Well, Mr. Peter Kitt, you're lucky that I even called your name, for you're not worth it. But I want to inform Pete that His Holiness the Pope is now setting up diplomatic relationships with Libya and Muammar Gaddafi. Now if the Pope, your spiritual father, Mr. King, can set up diplomatic relations with Libya, which one of you will say, you're holding me? with thugs and dictators and rogues. And next year, God willing, His Holiness intends to visit Fidel Castro in Cuba. I went to Cuba. I went to Libya. I went to Iran, I went to Iraq.

I want to ask for members of the Hebrew-Israelite community, for members of the nationalist community, members of the educational community, to become members of the board of advisors for the Final Call newspaper that the Final Call will be reflective of the total community rather than reflective of the nation of Islam as an institution.

How many of you would agree that if nobody helps us, we ought to now help ourselves? Do you agree? So while you're standing, I think we ought to have prayer.
