between the staff of the final call newspaper and the honorable minister louis farrakhan from the historic final called administration building and final call newspaper office in chicago greetings and richard mohammed editor in chief of the final call newspaper and we are pleased and honored to have with us for an interview and i look at the year twenty twelve that has passed and what is to come in two thousand and thirteen to have a great conversation and dialogue with the honorable minister louis farrakhan publisher and the national representative of the honorable elijah mohammed and the nation of islam but the minister first of all happy new year we're very pleased and honored to have you and if you would like we would like to get right into the questions for today they had me say i pray that the new year will be happy that's a tradition of this world and a tradition of this world is to raise as much hail as you can as an old year goes out make resolutions that you don't intend to fulfill or you want food fail and in gaijin rock  we as muslims should not participate in such the new year may be happy but it may not be happy so we should wish for everyone god's peace in the new year whether they're misfortunes that we might face which won't make it happy but if god's peace is with us then no matter what  of circumstance comes up in the new year that resolve with god will help us to get through so i would like to say to our readers as well as to the public the bible says that the whole world goes out with a great noise and to symbolize how the whole world is going to go out is the way this world lets the only year go out with lots of noise foolishness and decadence for us the new year and the old as we blessed by god to come through and old here but so many people started this year friends family persons that influenced allah lives and they said happy new year not knowing that this year last year would be their last year on this earth so for me it has always been a time of reflection reflection on those who started the year but we're not blessed to finish it reflection on what we did or did not do that we pray god will bless us to do better new year should be a time of deep reflection and commitment praying that god will help us to go through this year and bring us safely into the next so i appreciate your saying happy new year but we are not the traditional people like that we are a people that believe early that day and tomorrow in the next day is not in our hands so we hope and pray in charlotte if it be the will of allah that we will have a great successful the year for the spreading of that divine truth that will awaken our people and all who slumber under the touch of satan so thank you for your kind words in introducing me managed to be question by the three of you thank you so much thank you sir i like to start by the minister on the cultural scene if i may movies music and entertainment o course america's number one export to the world has been a great clamor great discussion a great deal of controversy about the movie django i wanted to ask you what are some of your thoughts about the movie do you think it's significant or is it just entertainment people so that they would not be mindful of how god was wreaking his wrath on babylon musicians the great people of culture it's how you use what god has given you as a gift it is unfortunate that what america exports to the world is a decadent culture that is affecting infecting people throughout our planet and that's why certain societies that are islamic do not want any of america's culture it's difficult to keep it away from young people all over the world but to take out talented mit men and women and use to spread decadent filth to the world is part of a plot by a say who is in control of america's music art and culture and therefore to corrupt that talent that god gives and to use it to dumb down the american people and to dumb down the world's people and make their youth of the world respond to decadence rather than respond to wisdom as their life is just starting what kind of life will they have so culture in movies and music has a great place but the revolution of odd thinking must be reflected in our ott and our culture and the talent of our young  always be used to lift the minds of those who are touched by our music our song our dance plays movies and while on that question i want to say how grateful i am to tyler perry he is probably one of the most brilliant young entrepreneurs that we have why do i get my him i have never as bringing to the forefront the strongest person in the history of our soul journey in america and that is medea that truong black woman who was the cornerstone of her family she always was that figure that gave guidance correction reprimand discipline and tyler perry brought her to the screen in funny ways but what i was seeing the greatness of the strong black woman who saw us through from yesterday to today again you know th people in america who have had very bad life experience and we don't have the blessing of being able to go to when he became leader of the then nation of islam he brought to chicago black psychologist and others and he wanted to use psychology and not to heal it didn't evil and then come out of that experience for a fifteen dollar ticket and some popcorn and say wow i feel better so this new year's shout out to the giant called tyler perry a spiritual giant a magnificent human being and i of drama through film and plays having said that jangle yes  i don't believe people make movies just to entertain wise people make movies to move people in certain wonderful show and i was in jamaica getting some rest after fifteen years of work seven days a week and he lied to mohammed sent me to jamaica to get some sunshine and rest and while i was there next to the holiday inn where r oh boy a senior moment was making a movie in jamaica called lost in the stars and he told me when we met and had a wonderful exchange he said the producer of the film said he would like to meet you and he took me to the set where the movie was being made and at a break the producer came out to meet me or direct it he was a jewish man and he said these words to me he said far you seem like a nice person it's not you that we fear it is your ideas and then he said there's a group of us that meet either on fifth avenue in new york or in los angeles and we discuss trends and if we see a trend that we disagree with we utilize our skills  talents to begin to move the people in a direction that we feel is best in that meeting that they have on fifth avenue in a penthouse or in california he told me there are writers script writers book writers artists people that influence newspapers will write because the bible refers to the masses of the people has sheep and one word of the honorable elijah muhamm easily said led in the wrong direction but hod to lead in the right so hollywood is not only entertainment but it's shepherding or guiding or influencing behavior having said that let's look at djang put to sleep awakened on chain what is the message that mr terrine tino is giving to black and white and what is in between the message is that django a black man who loved his his wife and was willing to do what ever it took to free her from the clutches of white people who were misusing her wreak havoc on those who had in sleeved not just his wife and him and and others on  plantation but he really wanted to see people set free such a man was nat turner such a man was gabriel process such a man was to son  the tom the tom always saw those kind of people as a threat to their relationship with their slave masters and that which could get them hurt so slave revolts that were written in our recent final call on christmas cause master wanted to make an example of such people django unchained that those and other whites use but mainly dicaprio talking about all been and how bayan worked for his father and grandfather you were born to be a servant born to love servitude so know jangle has already killed white people now he's in the place where his wife is he's discovered i thought that  modern tom would feel the shame to be that looking at the way he played that path and what  is always somebody like that among us when we strive for true liberation there's always somebody that loves closeness to the master sitting with mass with a drink and telling mass you know you've been tricked by this django i know i'm taking a little time please and comes back to where she was and kills all the white people all of them and even the wife i mean this  dicaprio who would seem to be somewhat gentle toward her slaves she was blown away say goodbye to the mistress and when you see samuel l jackson shot in these kneecaps and he's c and you see the dynamite that he retrieved from white full day he had dynamite it the house he knew what to do to destroy not just the master what the men germ of the master and when he goes out of that house his wife is down at the end of the road she message does this sinned to black and white i could have said in one word nine eleven was what the neo conservatives dreamed of when they said we needed another pearl harbor they got it now big gun crazy in america and twelve hundred well armed white militia i got some facts this morning that there are over three hundred million weapons among the american people and the  figures come up to two thousand and nine three more years of adding and the assault rifles are going off the shelf and some they will not be able to get for six months there are no more assault rifles of vailable now because after barack obama's reelection after newtown the gun enthusiastic say well we better get what we need now michael moore was looking at djang and michael moore took a position that americans are afraid what are you afraid of it's like a sinner always hearing the footsteps of the polies behind them so they're always looking over their shoulder knowsley mass can be comfortable with an awakening slave no sleeve master can wrist easy because the slave now is becoming a problem in america no more jobs no money so you deal drugs to him you deal guns to him so he's a killer already but he's insane in his killing so django unchained might give direction to the bullets remember our mayor he didn't tell him to stop shooting it told him shoot straight because you're killing innocent children and the alderman the asset with say it as alone as our murder and drugs and gang violence was contained and did not ill effect the broader community they didn't really care if it went on well after nine eleven america needs something else now because the guns of the militia may be directed at the government but they are off for e of the rise of black men and with and she said to him i won't be able to eat tonight see now multiply that by the tens of thousands in the then the guns three hundred and fifty million of them turn seemed to me that the message in that movie was to stir white people to the nature of murder and stir black people to be unchanged awake and  prescription in my judgment for race war and if that is what is being planned by those who god made shaped like people you are really planning the death of america as a nation under the wrath of god for the black man is no longer forsaken i took time t give such great analysis and insight that you were doing who wanted to continue in a different way but count on the same thing you mention guns which of course is related to violence we are seeing now and a fratricidal violence in the black community we're seeing instances for example in the killing of trayvon martin chavis carter hank up in a police car there are many feel was the targeting of black males then you have the twenty children shot to death in newtown connecticut and six adults killed as well these incidents of violence are they different are they related what do you see happening italy violence you look in france and in the united kingdom violence as the economy of the western world begins to implode and collapse and people that have been used to getting the finer things in life cannot get them anymore then you will find people becoming more and more angry with their governments more and more desperate and then you find that tendency toward but what we just witnessed last night what was going on in the u s senate and what was going on and will be going on in the house of representatives giving us a two month breather to continue madness those innocent children that were shot down in newtown the murderers of the children are in congress right now why do i say murderers of a new generation of babies because if america and the leaders to we can't cover woodley to do what is necessary then kicking the can down the road is sentencing babies in the future to the same violent death that we saw in newtown either the president and the congress must take on what is necessary to solve the problem and the number one word is not just  cutting the debt all cutting spending raising taxes the number one thing is what are the american people ready to sacrifice in order to free future generations of what is going on now and will get worse in two thousand and thirteen a culture of violence that will explode more in twenty thirteen than in twenty twelve the minister over the past year and a half you have been particularly effective interacting with the youth via social networking answering hundreds of questions submitted via your popular twitter feed and you've also spoken on numerous college campuses across the united states do you plan to continue and expand that outreach in the upcoming year and secondly what are the keys to survival for our young college students and the struggling historically black colleges and universities i definitely plan as long as god gives me life to continue to speak to our young people in the colleges the universities and in the streets and i want to continue and we want to continue to encourage leaders in past is that the church the work is not in the mosque it's not in the synagogue it's not in the church it's in the streets where the problems are now the historically black colleges suffering they were the bedrock of the production of strong leadership in the sixty's for the civil rights movement many of those who were bused spark plugs of what happened in the sixty's their brilliance is in academia now so the poetry of the mother booty the poetry of my sister that in virginia tech they're doing a great job where they are because they're teaching young people and the young people that they're teaching hopefully will be better then the elders that are running things today but take our brilliant people from movement and stop movement toward liberation so much so that the colleges now are being taken over they're being merged because they don't want to see an all black institution anymore because they don't want coming out of a black institution what they saw come out in the sixty's so what is the future of these black colleges and universities respectfully we must be training young people not to look for a job but to take those disciplines bird he didn't graduate from college they went to college but they're creative minds cause them to do something that not only gave people create aid it now the means by which the masses of the planet out quickly awakening and scaping the controlled media by the elite and oligarchy of the world so the black colleges and universities must realize that we are in a time period where we must little subject matter that gives you a degree that means nothing is unacceptable we must challenge ourselves in these colleges and not let the so called advisers who miss advises take you out of meaningful the disciplines that can help you to cavallaro a future for yourself and your people and put you into disciplines that are easier for you to attain your degree with c average so i intend to continue to be in these colleges and universities warning our young people that the time is now that we should not depend on white america to do for us what we must qualify selves to it's question whether mr deals with international affairs you've always spoken honestly and courageously regarding the hidden realities of america's foreign policies you discuss the unintended consequences of the so called arab spring the continued efforts aimed at regina's change in syria and as for around the saber rattling and continued drum beats for war how are we to view these global realities these global events and what is the responsibility of the american people to speak out against these things that are done by the government in their name the american people need to be awakened if the american people really good how evil their government and its policies have been toward people not only outside of america but inside america they would awaken and out of them would come a patriotic who will speak truth to power to free their minds from the manipulation of both who are in positions of what already and power but corrupted to the core by the the special interests that govern the governance govern the senators love and the government of the united states of america but everything that is being done is moving the world toward the most dreaded of all wars the war of armageddon and the  wall mongers and wall make goods and mischief makers will be set down in a brand new world with brand new leadership that  rooted in principles of freedom and justice equality and peace will be the leaders of tomorrow let's prepare them today leadership what do black leaders groups and organizations need to do to eradicate the roadblocks and impediments that seem to prevent them from working together for the benefit of the masses of our people in tw the black leadership is committed to an america that accepts an america that encourage to make a way for us an america that would allow the income gap between black and white to close an america that is post racial i don't find fault with them these are brilliant men and women in a direction that we as muslims followers of the honorable elijah mohammed believe is fruitless they won't know that until they run into the reality that twenty thirteen twenty fourteen and twenty fifteen is going to teach them then they will turn as the bible teaches of man you know went to these dry bones he spoke the word to them but the word only caused them to shake and rattle but they never do it up in unity because the spirit of god was not in them so the son of man went back to his disappointed that they had not come up and this are blowing and they're getting up to what one might call in a tornado or hurricane five and as these winds blow the bones are force to come together and i believe the scriptures that we are going to stand up and exceedingly great army and then we will know that savior is among us to make us again into a great people just be patient it's all coming where god wants it to go thank you my next question by the minister what guidance and practical advice would you give black women who are single have sons and the father is not part of the child's life how can women effectively raise and guide these young enough to be anybody's father we've got strong black women but if they sit around watching stupid television if they watch that which makes them feel that their power is in sex rather than in the brilliance of their minds and the deep spiritual connection to god that was medea that was grandma that was the hands of grandma that helped the children that produce children to rock that cradle well in so black women need to stop thinking  necessarily need a weak man in your house you just need to rise up and take strength like hey god as a muslim when we go to  between the hills following hagar's path she was running looking to weigh in the hills for help in the psalms of david he said he would look women women who will remain chaste keeping their hands in god's hands while we work to make a man for them and become real me and follow them but the enemy is afraid of any black man that will be strong enough to swim against the tide of weak men weak leadership they weak work to destroy strong men so that black women have no man to look up to except the slave masters children wrong again god is making me and t day as he made me in the beginning he has to make up man to day and many men so we've got to double work cleaning up the ghetto getting min up and moving we've got to strengthen men and hold our women in check in the sense that they don't give up hope on us you are strong enough to make a man my mother was and all she had was god and his christ as a christian woman and the discipline that she put on me and my brother and i didn't turn out too bad for black people may have been a hell of a thing for the enemy of black people thank you mom thank you our time is  really getting the way we probably have about nine minutes what i'd like to do is to get into questions and hopefully well i like to get into questions and then in any remaining time i'd like to have you close in any way to sh choose first question comes from our senior editor brother ascii a mohammed long time respected journalist from washington d c his question is do you believe president obama will try to live up to the promise of his dream in his second term or will he just continue to capitulate to the powerful interests with which he surrounded himself in his first time i believe that our brother will try but he will be overwhelmed by the forces and if he doesn't bend to those here doing an additional work producing a series of messages that we expect to see that in this new year the time in what must be done you've got about five minutes left can you would you please share something of that series in whatever way that you wish what it means the title let in anyway and thank you very much for the interview it's a privilege to be here at the final call building where it began for us in our first real home i'm privileged to be here where our first great editor wally mohamm championed the message of the honorable elijah mohammad an uncompromising giant and coming behind him you all have picked up the but tom from that great brother and i carry it on and i believe that if he were here he would be as proud of you all as i am now having said that we intend for the next fifty two weeks to deal with the subject that was given this day and that time is the yardstick that judges our actions imagine a silly farm that doesn't know the season and plants are crap out of season why he's not a bomb he's a fool if we understand that we are supposed to be free men and women then we must not act as slaves that as the honorable is a lie just mohammed taught me is not good subject and verb agreement we  in the present and our actions should not be of the past mentality of a slave brothers and sisters we are very happy to announce
