The spirit, power of truth rises online despite some opposition

CHICAGO (FinalCall.com) - A powerful and highly spiritual message about the importance of truth and divine revelation to the human family, and in particular destiny of Black people, was delivered by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan in a recent webcast.
“What must be done is ‘The Lie’ and ‘The Liar’ must be exposed,” said the Minister in the 25th installment of his lecture series “The Time and What Must Be Done,” which airs Saturday nights at 6 p.m. CST.
“According to the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, ‘a liar’ is one who is predisposed by nature to telling lies, intentional deceit to achieve an end. And what is the end that ‘the liar’ wishes to achieve? It is the mastery of the Original People of the earth until the coming of Allah (God),” explained Min. Farrakhan.
“The Honorable Elijah Muhammad has said this ‘liar’ that we are talking about is Satan. It represents a new people, a contrary people, who were taught by their maker, Yacub, a system of tricks and lies that would enable them to achieve mastery of the Original and Aboriginal People of the earth. The mastery of the Original People by this new people would continue for 6,000 years until the coming of God whose very presence, as the scriptures teach, would consume the wicked with the spirit of his mouth on the brightness of his coming. God would expose the lie and the liar and bring about an end to Satan’s world and civilization.”
The ones who must be exposed are the Caucasian people and Jewish people who outside of the law of Moses use divine wisdom to deceive and exploit people. In this time God himself, the Christ-figure of the Christians and the Great Mahdi of the Muslims, is on scene and revealing the truth of himself, not just in spirit but in person. He is also destroying the lie that God is a mystery and spirit only and that Caucasian people are God’s people. The Black man and woman of America are the chosen people of God today as this is their day of liberation prophesized in the Bible and the Holy Qur’an, the book of scripture of the Muslims.
But the synagogue of Satan and Caucasian people use deceit to make the people think they are following God, but that is falsehood and leads to ruin, warned Min. Farrakhan.
“The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us that everything in this universe was created in truth and with truth. There is nothing false in Allah’s entire creation,” he said. “The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said that the human brain cells are created to think rightly and the only way that the human brain can think rightly is if it feeds on truth. … Lies have a damaging effect on the cells of the brain,” he said.
“The power of the brain is also being curtailed and its potential is being limited by its ingesting falsehood and believing and acting on what is false. When the human brain is fed with falsehood, we damage its potential to function as God intended. This is why falsehood, and those who love falsehood, can never have a permanent place in a universe of truth,” added Min. Farrakhan.
And while Min. Farrakhan has been fervently and successfully using the Internet and social media to spread divine light and truth, the effort has not been without opposition.
Jesse Muhammad, who manages the @LouisFarrakhan account on Twitter and Final Call social media sites, noted that after starting 40 minutes late June 29 within 10 minutes, the Minister’s webcast was trending nationally and then worldwide.
Min. Farrakhan has also been among the leading trends among Blacks as documented by theroot.com, he added. “Trending” means a particular person, event or subject is a leading item when compared to others that Twitter users are sharing and sending out.
Since May, Min. Farrakhan has not failed to trend nationally in the Top 10 between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. CST during his webcast, Jesse Muhammad said. Nation of Islam student ministers and Believers and supporters that are part of a “Twitter Army” sparking conversation, engaging in intelligent debate and beating back negative attacks on the Minister, he said. Non-Muslims and even Caucasians are taking part in tweeting and discussions about Min. Farrakhan, according to Mr. Muhammad.
The trending is organic, unlike celebrities or companies who pay to occupy the top Twitter trending spot, he explained. “We count on our viewers,” said Jesse Muhammad.
Over the last 3 or 4 weeks, the Minister has continued to trend after his lecture in webcast, which means discussions are still going on, he said. To hold social media “after party” attention is impressive given viewers tweeting about programs usually move on to the next topic once their show goes off the air, Jesse Muhammad explained.
Going head to head, the Minister’s message of light, life and power has out-trended major motion pictures like “World War Z,” Will Smith’s “After Earth,” and at one point the NBA playoffs, he added. Minister Farrakhan has also done well and outperformed tweets about the popular ABC drama Scandal, he noted.
But, the social media manager and blogger continued, those who are tweeting about the Minister of The Time series have often found themselves in “Twitter prison,” suddenly unable to send out the short messages or forward other tweets, he said. Jesse Muhammad was locked out and unable to tweet for two hours June 29. A notice comes up saying tweets cannot be sent but there is no violation of terms of service or explanation, he said.
Vulgar subjects and cursing are allowed to spread on Twitter without censorship but it appears as if there are attempts to curtail Min. Farrakhan’s words and those who wish to talk about him or his message, said Jesse Muhammad. Tens of thousands of tweets are being sent out and the Minister’s Twitter account includes about 130,000 followers but sudden, unexplained fluctuations remain a problem, said Jesse Muhammad. It doesn’t make sense that someone in the Top 10 trends would be losing followers, he said.
Even Paul Deen, the celebrity cook barraged with attacks for using the N-word, has 1 million followers after controversy because even her detractors follow her to express their opposition, said Jesse Muhammad. There have been drops in Farrakhan followers after major stars Mary J. Blige and Sean “P Diddy” Combs tweeted messages about the Minister and even The Time, said he continued. Usually once a major star tweets or retweets a message about someone, the subject gains, not loses, followers. Twitter has been unable to explain the changes, Jesse Muhammad noted.
The Minister’s Twitter account is just over two-years-old, he said. Despite the opposition, the Twitter Army keeps going about its work and Min. Farrakhan has addressed their efforts directly. “To the brothers and sisters who are the Twitter Army: I thank you for your diligent work and I remind you that our duty, today, is to change the conversation on the social media. Not one of foolishness but to talk on the wisdom of God as projected and taught by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad,” he said June 29.
So the truth rolls on though the cyber-polytheists and opponents be averse.
