Will the Left disavow him now? Of course not. Why should they disavow him for expressing their most cherished hope?
“Report: Notorious Antisemite Louis Farrakhan Leads ‘Death to America’ Chant on Solidarity Trip to Iran,” by Benjamin Kerstein, Algemeiner, November 4, 2018:
Nation of Islam leader and prominent antisemite Louis Farrakhan chanted “Death to America” and claimed that “America has never been a democracy” on Sunday during a solidarity trip to Iran, ahead of the re-implementation of US sanctions on the country this week.
According to Iran’s semi-official state news agency Mehr, Farrakhan said at a meeting with the Secretary of Iran’s Expediency Council Mohsen Rezaei that America is conspiring against Iran.
“I understand how the enemies have plotted against the Iranian people and I would like to stay alongside you to stop their plots,” he said.
He also blasted American support for Saudi Arabia, Iran’s arch-rival in the region, and added, “Satan seeks to divide Muslims and wants them to kill each other, while God tells us in the Quran to be united.”
Farrakhan has referred to Jews as the “synagogue of Satan.”
In his remarks, he condemned the new American sanctions on Iran that will take effect on Monday. “Today, I warn the American government that sanctioning Iran is a big mistake,” he said.
In addition, he stated that African-Americans are part of Iran’s Islamic revolution.
According to the Farsi language Islamic Republic of Iran News Network (IRINN), he also spoke to students at the University of Tehran law school and fulminated against Israel, praised women’s rights in Iran and the Islamic laws demanding they cover themselves. He claimed, “America has never been a democracy and has always leaned towards the wealthy and powerful class.”
At the end of his talk, Farrakhan chanted the common Iranian slogan “Death to America,” and was joined by members of the audience.
Farrakhan, perhaps the most notorious black supremacist in America, has a long history of antisemitic statements. Most recently, he referred to Jews as “termites.”
Several prominent American activists and politicians have been linked to Farrakhan in recent years. Tamika Mallory, a leader of the Women’s March, praised him as “GOAT” or “Greatest of All Time.” Linda Sarsour, another leader of the March, attended an event with Farrakhan and has repeatedly refused to condemn him….
Peter Buckley says
Here’s the back-story on the sanctions question:
But amid widespread scorn for Trump’s policies, popular support for the Iranian government also appears to be thinning. Government-sponsored rallies are dwindling in numbers, and the hardline base appears to comprise an increasingly older crowd, a demographic out of tandem with Iran’s overwhelmingly young population.
This January, Iran was rocked by country-wide youth protests. The demonstrators were largely working class, a group typically considered the bedrock of the government’s conservative base. Many tore down posters of Iran’s clerical leadership. The protests were quelled within weeks but dealt a blow to the government’s confidence in its broad-based support.
Women protesting Iran’s compulsory headscarf have cropped up in town squares on almost a monthly basis this year, defying a police sweep of the female protesters. At Friday prayers in the University of Tehran, where the government’s Ayatollahs and military chiefs deliver weekly sermons to supporters, the crowd has become smaller and older over the years.
One woman in Tehran’s relatively affluent Tajrish square walks to a CNN crew volunteering to speak on camera. She says she predicts that the sanctions-ridden economy will remain in dire straits for “as long as the mullahs are in power,” referring to Iran’s ruling clergy.
“They must go. Believe me. Because we have no freedom, no work to do for our educated people,” says the woman, who asked only to be identified as “an Iranian citizen.”

Thanks for the good news, Peter.
Those ‘politicals’ in Iran’s jail will surely use the time to create a bigger, more effective pushback. The politicals all have families who are no doubt upset by the totalitarianism.
The mega-corrupt mullahocracy is worth multiple billions with their theft of the people’s money.
The mullahs are richer than any of the Islamic monarchs.
The Persians are a naturally rebellious people, and their patience seems used up. The mullahs must all have an exit strategy.
Andy says
Maybe Louis Farrakhan thinks Black is the new white and dumb is the new Intelligence!
mortimer says
Islam has a doctrine called TAQLID (blind following) which insists Muslims should not ask questions. Islam has a doctrine called TAQIYYA which permits the LEADERS of Islam to TELL LIES to their followers in order to MAKE PEACE BETWEEN WARRING MUSLIM GROUPS.
Farrakhan is doing both.
Farrakhan thinks he can bring peace between Sunnite and Shi’ite warring factions. Ha, ha. Never been done yet in 1400 years.
The Sunnite and Shi’ite factions will kill one another first before they attack the dirty kafirs.
Farrakhan is SUPER STUPID if he doesn’t understand the VICIOUS HATRED between the Sunnite and Shi’ite warring factions.
George Williams says
What do you call the fact that Islam still accepts the legitimacy of slavery and Mohammed, PBUH the perfection of mankind, to be emulated in every way, kept black slaves? In a perfect Islamic world he’d be chattel.
Frederick King says
cancel his passport. Let him him stay there. He is treasonous.

Death to Louis Farrakhan & ISLAM!!!

Oh.. and the prophet of islam, muhammed?
Well..apparently he was a WHITE man who owned,bought and sold BLACK PEOPLE as slaves.
{sahih muslim 3901}seller of slaves
{sahih muslim 6071,6081} “Whitey” mo the WHITE prophet of islam.
Let’s not forget islam’s penalty for anyone who dared suggest muhammed was..black
“Ahmad ibn sulayamin,sahniun’s companion,said that whoever says the prophet was black was KILLED.The prophet was not black”

Now,how well will that go down at a Nation of islam meeting I wonder…..
Jay says
I would hope this treasonous liar Farrakhan stays in Iran and his American citizenship is revoked!
So where do the democrats that are friends with and supported Farrakan stand now??
I.e. Barack and michele Obama, Bill and Hillary clinton, Eric holder, John Brennan, Susan Rice, Loretta lynch, Jesse Jackson, etc etc. or the communist news stations like ABC, NBC, cbs, PBS, ?
Why aren’t they reporting on this anti American traitor???
God bless and save America!! ???

David says
well he’s right America is not a democracy we’re a constitutional representative republic
mortimer says
David, how can you be so foolish? There are more than 500,000 elected officials in the US making it the most democratic country.
Westman says
David is correct, Mortimer. The US is largely democratic but not a true democracy. None exist.
Think about it for a moment. We elect Representatives who can vote on issues in complete opposition to us as constituents. Even the Electoral College can oppose the electorate and it represents States’ Rights over a straight vote. Why do you suppose that the Left wants to abolish the Electoral College?
We have the best democratic government in existence. No wise person would want a pure Democracy. It would be populist mob rule.
Westman says
Imagine what the US would have been if founded on simple mob rule. The founders were wise enough, through experience, to create a constitution and structure that keeps passing populist and special interests from getting control of government. We can still go off the rails through a long-term consistent majority desire to change the constitution – it’s unlikely because these desires are short-lived.
Farrakhan leads the same organization that assassinated Malcom X. Why did the US allow him to travel to Iran?
Wellington says
David: America is both a democracy and a republic. We are not a pure democracy, as was ancient Athens, but rather a representative democracy, whereby not all eligible people participate DIRECTLY in the legislative process but instead their elected deputies or representatives do.
The UK is also a representative democracy but it is not a republic because it is a constitutional monarchy. Mortimer is thus correct in his 11:10 A.M. assertion. Indeed, and as the great English historian, Paul Johnson, noted in his A History of the American People, America is the most democratic polity in history, even eclipsing ancient Athens in this respect because it has more than 80,000 governmental entities (Pennsylvania alone has more than 2,500 governmental entities—67 counties, some 56 cities, over 900 boroughs, over 1500 townships and one town {Bloomsburg, county seat of Columbia county}, though again a distinction must be made between a pure democracy and a representative democracy. And keep this in mind too: The pure democracy which was ancient Athens (and many other ancient Greek city-states, though not Sparta) had a far more restrictive franchise than do so many modern representative democracies.
gravenimage says
We are both a democracy and a constitutional republic. As noted, democracy without safeguards is just mob rule.
But when Farrakhan says the US is not a democracy, he is of course not making this fine point–he is just lying. And he is doing this in one of the most unfree nations on the planet.
Indiana Tom says
I think Franklin defined that we are a republic.
There is a story, often told, that upon exiting the Constitutional Convention Benjamin Franklin was approached by a group of citizens asking what sort of government the delegates had created. His answer was: “A republic, if you can keep it.”
mortimer says
Farrakhan’s remark is a vicious and monumentally STUPID falsehood: ““America has never been a democracy”. Oh, really?
The reverse is actually true… it is the MOST DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY on earth… to the point of electing judges and police chiefs. Let’s do some counting.
According to the US Census data, there are more than 87,000 local and state governments constituting more than 511,000 offices.
Farrakhan insults the intelligence of everyone. How can he have even one follower?
gravenimage says
True, Mortimer.
But what do you expect from someone involved in threatening the murder of someone who didn’t toe the line? Louis Farrakhan–then “Louis X”–threatened Malcolm X with death, shortly before his assassination.
elzy naughton says
he is the epitome of treason, hate, ignorance and he fits right in with the dems, obama, hillary, holder,brennan, rice, lynch, jackson, msm, soros, and others who hate our country. damned brazen sonofabitch
Robert Carrillo says
Keith Ellison’s PAL!
No other words are necessary on that score..
They (we) should arrest him at the airport when he arrives back here..
mortimer says
No, Robert, we classic liberals do not arrest people for being stupid. We wait for the public to catch on.
You cannot fool all the people all the time. – Abraham Lincoln
gravenimage says
Mortimer,screaming “death to America!” is rather worse than just being stupid.
Luckily, though, I think you are quite right that most Americans have a pretty dim view of the repulsive Louis Farrakhan.
In a recent Rassmussen poll, 85% of Americans have an “Unfavorable” or “Very Unfavorable” view of him.
Prabh says
Newsflash for this treasonous community ‘leader’: The very name “America” has as its root the term “amar” (amer) – This root word found in name of USA (Amer) is actually the word for “beyond death” i.e. Eternal, Immortal, will never die. The author of “The Dharma Manifesto”, Acharya ji Frank Morales, points out this clear fact.
(What’s in a name? Would a rose by any other name be as sweet? the Bard)
America is Eternal in the same way as the Civilization states of India, China and of course, the nations of Europe. (western Aryavarta)
Rome is known as the Eternal City.
I understand African origin peoples of America have their grievances (40 acres and mule etc.) but so do all other groups. Captain Vadakayil reveals the horrors of indentured labour of India and we all know (or ought to know) of the atrocities suffered by the Irish, Jews, Roma and so many other peoples. Life is usually hellish for minorities whether religious minorities or racial minorities. Mob rule is dangerous.
But, understand that uttering death threats is a violation of international law. Nobody is above the law. (This is basic Dharma101)
(Off-topic: Captain Vadakayil states a truth when he says that a witch is simply a ‘wise woman’ – one who has complete command of the elements – sort of like a yogini or tantric.
There are laws against witchcraft in some countries- this is pagan persecution. Pagan is corruption of “Bhagwan” – a term for Beautiful God.)
Back on topic: Why is the law not being applied against this ignoble professional race hustler
(L. farrakan) of the Sub-Saharan Black USA community – he is inciting civil unrest.
I repeat: Uttering death threats (whether against an individual or against an entire country/state/peoples) is both illegal, and unethical. Really, he belongs behind bars. Maybe he is some sort of agent provocateur. That’s what some people say about Anjem (andy) Choudary of England. (UK)
Whether an activist or an agent provocateur these types of people are extremely dangerous and they need immediate deprogramming. (hopefully through good books – I regard good books as dear friends.)

Hey, Louie mon. I’m in the mood for Calypso:

This was long ago–before Louis Farrakhan lost his mind.

Hmmm.Just as well Louis X gave up his muzak..authentic calypso just isn’t his forte…
Besides,allah hates music and musical instruments and muhammed hated black folk:allah knows he owned,bought and sold enough of them..
No Muzzies Here says
Farrakhan has proclaimed his hate for this country for many years. None of this should be a surprise.
Farrakhan has the full, but tacit, support of the Democrat party. I’ll bear that in mind tomorrow morning when I cast my vote.
Anjuli Pandavar says
[Louis Farrakhan] stated that African-Americans are part of Iran’s Islamic revolution.
—
Which part, exactly? As eunuchs and slaves, or is this a new part?
gravenimage says
Excellent post.
James Lincoln says
Iran is considered an enemy nation by the US State Department.
Farrakhan just admitted that he will be providing Iran with aid and comfort.
He is a traitor to the United States and he should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
The United States could start by canceling his passport.
Spiro says
Like Hanoi Jane
Indiana Tom says
We have Hanoi Jane and now we have Tehran Louie who is best buds with Obama the Caliphate in Chief.
Louie really needs to sit on an anti aircraft gun and shoot at American planes for the full effect of a good presser.
tim gallagher says
I find this report pretty amazing. Farrakhan lives in America yet joins in a call proclaiming “Death to America”. Extraordinary. What, and then he just goes back home to America to continue living there. I’m trying to remember whether anyone else has made such a traitorous proclamation about the country he or she lives in and returned to live there. I don’t think Hanoi Jane Fonda ever made such an all-inclusive declaration of war on the country she lived in as chanting “Death to America”. I’m in Australia so I’m trying to think how people here would react to an Australian joining an enemy mob, such as in Iran, and chanting “death to Australia”. Actually, many people here are so slack or easy-going or whatever that they’d probably do nothing about it. Or how “Death to Germany” or “Death to England” would be received in those countries. Of course, what Farrakhan chanted is pretty basic Islam, isn’t it? Probably the majority of Muslims would want the western way of life to die and barbaric Sharia law to be imposed. It’ll be interesting to see what happens to Farrakhan. I guess he’ll just deny that he ever joined in the traitorous chant. Logically, if he hates America so much, Farrakhan shouldn’t return to America. You’d think he’d hate the idea of going back there. I guess he’d return to America as an enemy seeking to destroy its present way of life and impose Islam on everyone.
