A Picture of Obama With Radical Activist Louis Farrakhan Has Just Now Surfaced – Why?

What happened?

During his presidential campaign, Barack Obama fielded questions about his connections to Louis Farrakhan, a black activist known for calling Judaism a “dirty religion” and white people a “race of devils” and saying Hitler was a “very great man.” A photo of a smiling Obama standing with the Nation of Islam leader has been releasedafter more than a decade.

Need a reminder of who Farrakhan is? Watch:

Where was the photo taken?

Journalist Askia Muhammad captured the image at a mid-2005 Congressional Black Caucus. He believed it would be a significant photo that could alter Obama’s political career and perhaps dash his presidential hopes. The CBC contacted Muhammad “in a sort of a panic,” he told Talking Points Memo, and he gave the photo to Farrakhan’s chief of staff.

Why is the photo being released now?

The image will be in Muhammad’s new book launching on Jan. 31: “The Autobiography of Charles 67X.”

Hate, revolution and violence preached at Million Man March in Washington, D.C.

“I gave the picture up at the time and basically swore secrecy,” Muhammad told the Trice Edney News Wire last week. “But after the nomination was secured and all the way up until the inauguration; then for eight years after he was president, it was kept under cover.”

He said the photo “absolutely” would have made a difference in the 2008 election.

Glenn’s take:

Glenn compared Obama’s denial of a connection to Farrakhan to when now-President Donald Trump was under fire during his campaign because white supremacist leader David Duke supported him. Why did the media accept Obama’s response to Farrakhan but not Trump’s response to Duke?

“That was the exact excuse,” Glenn said. “Did the media accept that?”

GLENN: All right. I want to say a few things. And they might be controversial. But I'm going to say them because we all are thinking them.

White people are a race of devils. And Hitler was a very good man. And Judaism is a gutter religion.

Okay. All right. None of us believe any of that stuff. I shouldn't say none of us. I'm sure there are people. I know one in particular, and that is Louis Farrakhan.

Most people right off the bat would say, "Well, that was -- that was David Duke, right?" He probably has very similar things to say, except not about white people, just about black people. You know, Hitler was fine. Jews, gutter religion.

But this is the Nation of Islam. Louis Farrakhan. And apparently, we just can't say anything bad about Louis Farrakhan. He's absolutely one of -- if not the leading racist in America. If any politician or public figure were caught schmoozing with Farrakhan, it would be a very good deal. Barack Obama had been accused of such, not by the right, but by the left.

In fact, it was Hillary Clinton. She called him out over the debate. And she talked to him about it, because there was a rumor that he had been schmoozing, had known, and there was photographic evidence of it. She said that Farrakhan's support for Obama needed to be addressed and denounced. So what did Obama do? He denied any contact.

He said, he doesn't know him. He never met him. He can't help who supports him. Now, I just want to put this into context. Because isn't that exactly what -- what Donald Trump said about failing to denounce David Duke's support.

That was the exact excuse. Did the media accept that?

Well, yesterday, TalkingPointsMemo.com published a story that featured an interesting photo. It's a photo -- oh, look at that. Huh. That appears to be the million dollar smile of Barack Obama standing next to Louis Farrakhan. And leaning in towards him.

Now, there's no way that Obama didn't know who he was taking a picture with. This is not a Farrakhan slide in, in the mother of all photo bombs. He knew exactly who he was. What he was doing. He was palling around with with one of the most racist men in America, and it didn't bother him. I don't know in you can check body language at all, or if we're allowed to with Democrats. But he's leaning into him. So the question is, why haven't we ever seen this photo?

Now, some people are saying, this would have torpedoed Barack Obama's election, his first one for president. But I don't believe it would have. Nothing would have mattered to the Obama supporters. Nothing.

I -- I think there's a pattern here. Nothing would have bothered people. But the reason you didn't see it is because the media didn't want it to get out. And I say this title against my will, almost. The, quote, photojournalist hid the picture. Because it would, quote, be damaging politically if it were released. Hmm.

The photojournalist. Obama and Farrakhan's contacts, one of the worst kept secrets in Washington. Despite the rumors, nobody looked for evidence. Nobody looked for photos.

And if you dare say anything about the relationship or that there is evidence out there, no one will produce it. You were the racist. Not Louis Farrakhan.

If the situation would have been reversed, if there was a picture with a white nationalist and John McCain, Mitt Romney, or Donald Trump, this would have been blasted in every newspaper and every cable news network, not just in America, but all over the world.

I can't find this mentioned in any major news outlet this morning. Huffington Post. Washington Post. New York Times.

I mean, are they -- is this news? That a photo journalist hid one of the most damning photos of any president taken? Can you mangle a picture of Harry Truman, with the leader of the Klan?

That's kind of an important picture, politically. But an even more important picture historically. Not only because it exists, but because the media hid it.

Maybe they don't want to cover it because it's a glaring reminder that they're both incompetent. They don't care. And I'm being kind with those descriptions.

Every day, we're reminded with more evidence of just how far the media has fallen from doing their job.

Incompetence or blatant partisanship? It's a rhetorical question. But something has got to change.

Meet the pro-Intifada candidate NYC Democrats just elected

New York City Democrats just elected 33-year-old Zohran Mamdani, a "socialist Muslim", as the Party's candidate for mayor. But Glenn Beck argues that his radical beliefs are actually communist and Islamist.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

VOICE: Z10852. Something weird is going on. The World Trade Center is on fire.

VOICE: Seriously the top of the building. We're trying to get information.

VOICE: Top level of one of the --

VOICE: To unfold from New York City.

VOICE: A plane crashed just --

VOICE: My sister is in that believe. I hope she's okay. I have to come to New York.

VOICE: It's pandemonium.

VOICE: It's raining papers.

VOICE: Wait a minute! Stop just a second. Why are we -- why are we -- I've got breaking news. Breaking news, yesterday. New York City just elected as their mayoral candidate for the left. And the Democrats, a -- a Muslim radical, who is also a communist!

So, you know, it only took you 25 years. It only took you 25 years, New York, to go completely insane.

Somebody who is -- well, I mean, if I might quote Michael malice today. I am old enough to remember when New Yorkers endured 9/11 instead of voting for it.

But you've got a -- you've got a communist jihadist apologist now.

Who was -- you know, well, CAIR put $100,000 behind his bid for New York City mayor.

So you have somebody who is endorsed by CAIR. That's really good.

He also was somebody who said, you know, he was -- he was for the shooting of the United Health Care CEO.

Said he was looking forward to driving down magnum Joan avenue. I don't know. Sounds like supporting people in the streets. Maybe it's just me.

Then he also said that he was going to globalize the intifada, which I think that's -- maybe -- maybe that's just me.

I mean, what do I know?

Tim Miller who is a podcaster. Asked him a few weeks ago. Asked him about his pro Palestinian slogan. Globalized the intifada. And he said, for me, ultimately, what I hear in so many, is a desperate desire for equality and equal rights, in standing up for Palistinian human rights. Oh, is that what you hear, Mr. CAIR?

Really? Huh, that's interesting.

Right. So globalize the intifada.

I mean, I mean, sure, that's -- I mean well, let me go on.

Because I don't want to take him out of context.

He then delved into the semantics of the intifada, citing the United States Holocaust memorial museum's use of a word for a translation for uprising, in an Arabic version of an article, a museum published about the Warsaw ghetto.

Oh!

So this is just a comparison, about the -- the armed rebellion against the Nazis!

I don't know if that makes me feel better!

I mean, if we're globalizing that.

We're the Nazis in this scenario.

Because I don't think it's the Palestinians.

I certainly don't think it's anybody who is like, hey.

Global jihad. I don't think it's those guys.

Or the Nazis. Who are the Nazis in that?

And it seems, if that's what you mean, then it's not just a harmless kind of slogan about human rights. It is a call for violence on the streets.

Because I don't know if you know, that's what happened when the Jews had their uprising against the Nazis.

I'm just saying!

But, hey, hey, free Palestine.

Oh, that's not what that means, gang. That is not what that means, but don't worry about it. He's just going to be possibly the new mayor.

And that's great. By the way, the Columbia faculty members signed a letter defending Hamas.

They were also among the donors to his mayoral campaign.

So, you know, you don't have anything to worry about.

And his father, who used to work at Columbia. Do you know, Stu?

Is his Dad -- is he still a professor at Columbia University?

He said that -- this violent terror thing of Islam, is not a part of Islam. Now, I've read the Koran, and much of the hadith.

And I'm pretty sure the violence is a part of that. But no.

No. This is something entirely new.

And his father while at Columbia university, wanted everybody to know, that this is actually -- this is something that came out of America!

America is really responsible for this.

And, you know, it really started with the Reagan administration, you know, when he started -- when he started with his very religious terms, to finish the war against the evil empire.

So, you know, that's where -- that's where 9/11 came from.

Is what -- don't worry about it! Don't worry about it!

Because who am I? I'm clearly just -- am I an anti-Semite today, or am I an Islamophobic? I can't remember which one.

Oh, it's probably both. Anyway, Islamophobia. Let me just explain Islamophobia. I haven't even gotten to the Communist part of it. Which is really, really -- New York, you're in one for hell of a ride. Buckle up.

It will be a fun rollercoaster for you. My gosh, I've never been happier that I've been away are if New York.

Anyway, I just want I to know, there is Islam. And then there is Islamists. Now, an Islamist is somebody who really wants Sharia law.

That's political Islam!

That's not a faith. That's political Islam.

Now, let me make really -- something really clear. Criticizing Islamism, is not Islamophobia. Pointing out the dangers of, oh. I don't know.

Political Islam. The ideology that seeks to use the tools of democracy, ultimately to destroy democracy, is not an attack on Muslims.

No. Uh-uh.

You know why?

Because Muslims are often the first people in line.

The first victims of the ideology.

So let's draw a bright, bright line between Islam as a faith, millions of people can practice that faithfully and peacefully.

It's mostly peaceful, okay?

Then there's the Islamism.

Islamism is something entirely -- that's a political project.

A theocratic political -- oh. Left loves theocracies. They love it.

Of course, you never see a problem with it.

See it when an Islamist is touting it. Anyway, it's not about prayer. It's not about fasting. It's not about spiritual life.

It's all about power. It's about merging of mosque and state. It's about implementing Sharia, not as a personal code of conduct. But as a governing legal system.

And it's -- it's supremacy.

Absolutely. Faith.

Religion.

It's -- there's one thing that's supreme.

It's misogynistic.

Deeply intolerant of all kinds of things.

Descent. Secularism. Other faiths. Even competing interpretations from inside the faith itself.

It will behead them too.

So let's -- let's be honest here for a second.

You know, CAIR should be labeled an international terror organization.

In my opinion. In my opinion.

Oh, does that make me -- that makes me an Islamophobe. I'm sure. I'm sure they will start a campaign against me on being an Islamophobe.

Stand in line, guys. You've been doing it since 2001, okay?

I don't really care. And I don't think the American people. I think that record, all the grooves are worn-out on that one, okay?

This is not a religion we're talking about. When we're talking about Sharia law. And we're talking about globalize the intifada. What does that mean, actually, to globalize it?

Does that mean we now want to do what is happening to Israel? All over the world?

Has the Palestinian plight become our plight you now, as Americans?

That there has to be an intifada here!

Because it's the kind of the same. You know. It's kind of the same over, you know, with what the Palestinians are going through.

Well, it's very much like what the Jews went through with the Nazis.

That's a weird one. That one makes my head hurt. It's very much the same as that. And very much the same as the fight against Donald Trump.

Oh, this is going to be fun. It's fun!

Really fun. You know, the irony here is, the ones that will scream Islamophobia the most, are the ones in the progressive left, the champions of feminism, LGBTQ rights. And secularism.

They're going to -- no. You want -- they're going to stand with the people, who want to kill them first.

See, this is how smart they are!

This is why it's going to work out well, in New York City.

Let me just say. If you have an ounce of common sense, you run a business, you have an ounce of wealth. And I don't mean wealth like, you know, hey, Lovey.

Let's get on the boat for a three-hour tour with a suitcase full of cash. I mean you saved anything, anything, get the hell out of New York City.

I mean, this is about survival. This is about free speech. This is about women's rights.
Religious pluralism. Secular legal systems. Liberal democracy.

But it's also about failed principles of Communism. Okay?

First, you have to call out political Islam for what it is. Okay?

And we have to do it with the clarity that we call out white nationalism.

Got to do it with that. Got to -- you know, the Klan. Really bad people.

Really bad people.

Anybody who is shouting for globalized intifada?

Pretty bad. Pretty bad people.

Okay?

Now, let's get to communism.

Because that's another cool, cool angle of the new Democratic candidate for -- for mayor of New York City.

That I just -- I think is cuddly and cute. Sure, it led to 100 million deaths. But this time, New York is going to be radically different. Oh, did I use the word radical?

I didn't mean to use that. What's radical about this guy?

Nothing. He's just like you!

Well, not exactly.

But let's talk about communism, next!

Now, the new mayoral candidate that's running there in New York City. That so many young people rushed to defend and vote for. He's promising free buses.

That's going to work out.

Where are you going to get the money for free buses.

It's free!

City-run grocery stores.

Oh, rent freezes. And finally somebody has done it. A 30-dollar minimum wage.

So under the banner of equity. And, you know, we will tax the wealthy. And the corporations. You know, we're going to squeeze another $10 billion out of them.

Really?

Because they're going to call a U-Haul.

You know, they will call something like U-Haul. There will be a lot of -- there will be a lot of movers that are like, how do I get the truck back from Texas or Florida back up to New York? Nobody is moving up there.

But he's going to do it.

Now, his vision isn't really new. You know, just -- just tax people, so we could have city-run grocery stores. You know, I remember -- I'm old enough to remember those city-run grocery stores in Moscow.

They were great.

The shelves were empty.

But that's just Moscow.

It worked out completely different in Venezuela.

Where, oh, no.

It didn't. That's right. The grocery store.

They were eating the zoo animals.

But it will be different in New York.

Because they have rent controls too.

And that will just choke the housing supply, but don't worry. As a young family.

You know, you voted for it.

You know better.

It will work this time.

So, you know, I like building ideas, I just don't like usually building on the graves of 100 million people.

But, you know, why not? Why not?

You know, use this dogma.

And this time, it will be different. It's not like it was in China. Where the great leap forward, was a gross -- a gross parody of progress. Venezuela, which was oil rich. One of the richest nations in the hemisphere now sees 90 percent of its population in poverty!

Yeah. Darn it. You know what they did?

They decided to take state control of things.

You know, like grocery stores. And it worked out well. How is that free busing working out in Venezuela?

I just want to -- I just want to know.

Anyway, then you've got the globalize the intifada. Which is going to drop a little violence in, and anti-Semitism in with your communism.

Which is weird!

Because violence and anti-Semitism, always happen. When it -- when it comes to -- when it comes to communism.

This is weird!

I've got to play something for you. Because this has talked about on me earlier this morning.

Oh, wow.

Wait a minute. This is -- this is the whole coalition coming together here.

So this is going to be good. New York, this is going to be great.

It's going to be great for you.

No. He's going to uplift you. Then the social fabric of New York City is just going to be -- just one.

It's going to be fantastic. Don't worry about your 120 billion dollars in debt. Or your 10 billion-dollar deficit that you have right now.

You are going to charge the rich more taxes, and they will stay right there.

They will be like, you know what, that 46 percent in taxes that I'm paying, this is just not enough. It's just not enough.

I need to pay 60 or 70 percent to be able to pay my fair share. So that's good. That's good. That's good.

You know, they're not risking 100 million people. It's just 8 million people.

This time, it's just 8 million people.

But, hey. For those of you in upstate New York. That aren't going to be part of this experiment.

Don't worry, you get to pay for it. Because they'll kick it up to the state. The state will have to subsidize everything. And don't you love it?

Really, don't you want to subsidize the really crazy ideas of New York City?

I mean, why don't you have a -- why don't you have a democratic socialist. A/k/a communist mayor.

Why haven't you done that? Are you not progressive enough? Are you not looking into the future?

Are you stuck in the past?

I don't know. I don't know. The graveyard is pretty big. I have a hard time getting past that one. You know, yeah, so I'm stuck in the past. Because I can't seem to pass that graveyard, and get to be down the path with you. But it's going to be a paradise.

Forget arithmetic. You know, or human nature. This time, it's going to work. It's going to work. So all right!

Wish I lived in this morning.

No wait. Nope. I don't. Nope, I don't.

And Ted Cruz, stop it. Stop writing, hey, come to Texas. No. No. Don't come to Texas. Don't come to Florida. Go to California. It's beautiful this time of year. Go there. Go there.

How the Iran Conflict Exposed the REAL Threat to America | Glenn TV | Ep 442

Steve Bannon warned on "The Glenn Beck Program" that "we're already in the beginning of the kinetic part of the Third World War." But is Iran the biggest threat to America, or is the real threat what Iran represents: the political form of Islam that is spreading and the new relationships that have now been exposed among communists, radical leftists, and Islamists? Glenn reveals tape from a Michigan imam who details the real goal of Iran and Islamists: ending Western civilization. It's what Glenn Beck predicted years ago on Fox News. "Globalize the intifada" is no longer a death chant by Hamas jihadis in Gaza; it's now basically the slogan from New York City's Democratic Socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani. The evidence is clear — radical Islamic ideology has spread from the Middle East to Europe and has made a home in America. Wake up.
