This weekend, Nation of Islam members will gather in Chicago at the Hyatt Regency McCormick Conference Center and the United Center for this year's Saviours' Day convention. The group's longtime leader, Louis Farrakhan is scheduled to address the crowd on Sunday. Farrakhan sparked a firestorm with remarks in his annual address in 2018 such as, "the powerful Jews are my enemy" and "Farrakhan, by God's grace, has pulled the cover off of that Satanic Jew and I'm here to say your time is up, your world is through."
While Saviours' Day 2017 did not generate as much attention, Farrakhan's gathering that year in the Cobo Center in Detroit included a symposium hosted by three 9/11 Truthers: Richard Gage, Christopher Bollyn and Kevin Barrett. The symposium drew a crowd of 4,000 people and included lectures from all three men along with video and slides to illustrate their points. Frequently interrupted by applause, the three spun a detailed story of conspiracies, false flags, revised history, "Zionist" plots, and Jewish influence, with the ultimate conclusion that "agents and supporters of Israel were the key players" in pulling off the "controlled demolitions" of the World Trade Center.
At one point in his presentation (1:15:01 in the video), Christopher Bollyn tells the crowd that since its inception, the objective of the "Israeli Zionist state - Zionism means Israeli nationalism, Jewish nationalism" has been to take over the entire middle east region. During this part of his talk, a slide is shown to the audience of a devilish figure with pointed ears and glowing red eyes holding a crystal ball in its claws, and "Zionism" and a Star of David on its forehead; the crystal ball is labeled Syria and shows apparently dead children. Bloody tombstones labeled Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan also appear in the graphic (shown below).

Louis Farrakhan often peppers his talks with references to the "Synagogue of Satan," a term he lifts from the Book of Revelation in the Bible and repurposes to target his perceived enemies. As noted above, last year Farrakhan railed against his enemies "the powerful Jews" and that he, Farrakhan, "has pulled the cover off of that Satanic Jew."
In addition to selling CDs and DVDs of the "The War on Islam: 9/11 Revisited Uncovered & Exposed" presentation on its website, the Nation of Islam hosts a video of the symposium on its website as well. Farrakhan himself promoted the video on Twitter.
In the wake of 9/11, as early as July 2002, Louis Farrakhan was pointing the finger at Jews for inciting a war on terror as an excuse for a "War on Islam," telling a BET interviewer during a trip to South Africa, "...those who don’t want war, let us give the reason why we don’t want war and let the American people judge and our representatives in Congress act on the will of the American people and not the will of a lobby, whether it is a Jewish lobby or a Zionist lobby or any kind of lobby. That government body should represent the will of the American people." [emphasis added]
As America struggles against a resurgence of anti-Semitism, the country should be paying closer attention this year to Louis Farrakhan and his words during his annual keynote address to the Saviours' Day convention on Sunday, and paying closer attention to any politicians or other public figures who continue to align themselves with the polarizing head of the Nation of Islam or his associates.
