Green attacked a second officer with a knife before being shot and killed by police.<\/p>\n<p>The Nation of Islam described Green as a young man who &#8220;struggled in his early life but overcame much as a student to graduate with a degree in finance. He had a wonderful, noble idea to help the black and brown people through his knowledge of finance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The organization added that &#8220;our research is continuing into what happened to this young man and we cannot rest until we find out what caused him to take a turn like this. We are saddened by the loss of this brother with such great potential.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In a social media post before the attack, Green claimed that he &#8220;suffered multiple home break-ins, food poisoning, assaults, unauthorized operations in the hospital, mind control.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Just a day after the attack, the Nation of Islam&#8217;s research arm promoted claims about the U.S. government engaging in mind control.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sidney Gottlieb was an American chemist involved with the Central Intelligence Agency&#8217;s assassination attempts and its mind-control program known as Project MKUltra,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NOIResearch\/status\/1378443320905637890\">wrote<\/a> the Nation of Islam Research Group on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>Farrakhan regularly calls Jews &#8220;satanic&#8221; and claims they control the media, financial industry, and global politics. He has also described white people as &#8220;potential humans&#8221; who &#8220;haven&#8217;t evolved yet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Nation of Islam has promoted anti-Semitic and anti-government conspiracy theories, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adl.org\/blog\/nation-of-islam-provides-platform-for-anti-semitic-911-truthers\">including<\/a> claims that the Sept. 11 attacks were a &#8220;false flag&#8221; operation orchestrated by &#8220;Jewish Zionists&#8221; within the U.S. government. The group published a three-book series called <em>The Secret Relationship between Blacks and Jews<\/em>, which blamed Jews for the history of black oppression.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Latest News Organization vows to find motive for attack, including mind control  Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan \/ Getty Images  Alana Goodman \u2022 &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2311758,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/fb_image-610.jpeg","fifu_image_alt":"Nation of Islam Calls Member Who Assaulted U.S. Capitol \u2018Brother With Such Great Potential\u2019","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-393339","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/fb_image-610.jpeg","fifu_image_alt":"Nation of Islam Calls Member Who Assaulted U.S. Capitol \u2018Brother With Such Great Potential\u2019","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/393339","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=393339"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/393339\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2311758"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=393339"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=393339"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=393339"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
