Any casual Bible reader (or flying saucer enthusiast) is familiar with the first chapter of Ezekiel in the Old Testament where "the wheel" reference comes from:

Origin of "The Wheel"

Farrakhan's always referring to numerology, visions, and other strange mystical references. His audience must eat this stuff up with a spoon!

And here I thought he was referring to one of the hatches on the island in LOST.

They remind me of the audiences who lap up the lies put forth by Alex Jones (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Jones_(radio_host), http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=alex+jones&search_type=&aq=f) and Dr. Jabow of Health Freedom (http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/). How gullbiel can people get?

Oh, god... Alex Jones. Don't even get me started on that wackjob. I not only have the misfortune of living in the same city as him, and am thus constantly exposed to ads plugging his radio show; but one of my co-workers actually listens to that jackass, and we never know when lunchtime conversation is suddenly going to be de-railed by the rest of us having to debunk whatever deranged "revelation" he's picked up from Jones this week...

Oh, you poor being! I know the type, and in fact have had to put up with its exemplars from time to time. My deepest sympathies. :-(

A lot of Farrakhan's ideas, which he presumably got from Elijah Muhammed, sound like classic 1930's-1940's pulp sf themes, reworked to make black people an Ancient Master Race. Considering when Elijah Muhammed formulated his theology, that's understandable, in exactly the same way that it's understandable that a lot of modern cults seem to have taken their ideas from extruded-fantasy product type books.

Come to think of it, you're right. That would explain why they all so closely resemble the favorite wet dreams of power entertained by adolescents the world over.
