Farrakhan consulted with Nagin before levee sabotage statement
Check out this video of a spokesman, name of Nazinga, for Louis Farrakhan talking about how Farrakhan met with New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin before making his remarks on the sabotage of the levees (concrete floodwalls). This was broadcast live on Monday night Sept. 19 on Fox News' Hannity & Colmes.
Again, it's important not to fall too far into the race-baiting aspect of this. Basically every concrete floodwall on the East bank of the Mississippi that had federal contractors on it the last couple of years blew up. Many nice white neighborhoods were flooded out too. The only way the dry neighborhoods would have been flooded as well would be if the earthen levees along the Mississippi were blown as well.
Relevant transcript:COLMES: There was actually a device that went off, that purposely blew up the levees, is that what you're claiming?
NAZINGA: I also know that Minister Louis Farrakahn chartered two planes and put 16 people on them and flew to Dallas, Texas; Houston, Texas; Baton Rouge, Louisiaina; and Jackson, Mississippi on a factfinding mission, and he met the mayor of New Orleans in Dallas, Texas and was told these things directly from him.
COLMES: You're claiming that Mayor Nagin, he himself, the mayor is claiming that this was a planned event to blow up the levess to hurt the black population, according to the Mayor of New Orleans?
NAZINGA: I'm saying to you that Minister Farrakhan met with him in Dallas, Texas; and in Atlanta, Georgia announced to the world before 6400 people that this is what he was told.
COLMES: Do you have any evidence, can you produce? If this is true, if what Minister Farrakhan, and what you're confriming, is true, there would be some evidence, there would be some... you would see fragments, you would be able to prove that it was a bomb or something else that went off, you would literally be able to prove it if what you're saying is true.
NAZINGA: Sir, as you know there is nobody in New Orleans now but federal agents and the National Guard. I was in New Orleans yesterday and they won't let you go near no levees, and they won't let you go near your house. .....---
