Is Louis Farrakhan a Hal Turner Fan?
By posting this today, I have no intention of insinuating criticism of the Millions More March, which I consider to be a productive event. But this question has to be asked: what is Louis Farrakhan doing citing Hal Turner, an avowed neo-Nazi hate radio host, as a legitimate source for his levee conspiracy theory? Does Farrakhan regularly listen to neo-Nazi shortwave radio, or visit Hal Turner's insane website, and if so, why?From CNN's Situation Room on Wednesday:
FOREMAN: You had to be very disturbed by what you saw out of New Orleans, as a great many Americans were disturbed by what they saw out of New Orleans. When you watched what happened there, the flooding, which happened largely in very poor neighborhoods, substantial numbers of people there who are black people, what did you think?FARRAKHAN: Well, first, many of us saw race raise its ugly face again. The ugly specter of poverty and want in the midst of plenty was shown, not only to the American people, but to America's hurt. In foreign capitals, the news was negative against America.FOREMAN: I want to interrupt you on this question of negative news here, because there has been the suggestion out there, people have written about this notion, that they say that you said at some point, you believe the levees were bombed or purposely breached to flood black neighborhoods. Is that true?FARRAKHAN: Well, yes, I did say that, but I didn't say it in a vacuum.FOREMAN: What do you mean? Explain it.FARRAKHAN: I spoke along with members of the executive committee of the Millions More Movement to Mayor Nagin after he told us many things that he felt we could do to help. He did mention that there was a 25-foot crater under the levee.Then we heard from the Hal Turner Show that someone under the rubric of anonymity said to Mr. Turner that he was a member of the Army Corps of Engineers, went down in his diving suit, and he saw burn marks on the concrete, and he spirited some of it away and sent it to his friend in the Army forensic laboratory. And they sent back to him saying that there were two types of explosives that they named, I can't recall, but let me just say this. Whether it is a rumor or truth, whenever there's a rumor that is believed by many, it becomes the duty and the obligation to take that rumor to those who have the knowledge to search the truth of it out.FOREMAN: Do you believe this rumor? Do you believe the levees were bombed down there, or do you not believe that?FARRAKHAN: I would like to know the truth of it. In John Barry's book "The Rising Tide," he said that in 1927, whites in New Orleans purposely bombed that levee. If it happened once, could it happen again? You know, we need to know the truth. The American people need to note truth.And there are those who can search out the truth of this to either dispel it as nothing more than a rumor, or show that it is the truth............
