Inflammatory Anti-Muslim “Movie” May Not Be A Real Movie
www.buzzfeed.com ^ | Sept 13 2012 | Rosie Gray

The anti-Muslim "movie" that served as the spark or pretext for a wave of violent unrest in Egypt and Libya may not be a movie at all.

As the video above — cut from the YouTube video tied to a global controversy — shows, nearly all of the names in the movie's "trailer" are overdubbed. The video is a compilation of the most clumsily overdubbed moments from what is in reality an incoherent, haphazardly-edited set of scenes. Among the overdubbed words is "Mohammed," suggesting that the footage was taken from a film about something else entirely. The footage also suggests multiple video sources — there are obvious and jarring discrepancies among actors and locations.

However, CNN has reported that the cast and crew disavowed the movie, and the overdubbing could also have been to conceal the content from the cast itself. Gawker interviewed a woman who played a part in the movie, who said that she had had no idea what it was about when she was hired.

As The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg reported today, the supposed filmmaker, "Sam Bacile," appears not to be a real person — or at least not the director of the movie. A consultant to the movie, Steve Klein, told Goldberg that he didn't know Bacile's real name and that he wasn't Israeli as reported.

I have family on Facebook who have been discussing their best choice for the next democRAT presidential nominee. They have settled on two possibilities...Hillary and Michelle Obama. I'm serious...they actually want Moochelle to run.

God save us.

When will someone come forward and declare “I’m Bacile!”?

No, I actually meant God save us meaning the US of A.

Feel free to exclude yourself if so desire but you cannot assign your own meaning to my words.

It occurred to me that this might be one of those fake movie trailers. A ton of people make up stuff, or revise other trailers, and post them on YouTube. Here is one of my favorites:

...."A consultant to the movie, Steve Klein, told Goldberg that he didn't know Bacile's real name and that he wasn't Israeli as reported."

____________________

....."The man identifying himself as Bacile told the AP he was an Israeli-born, 56-year-old Jewish writer and director. But a Christian activist involved in the film project, Steve Klein, told the AP on Wednesday that Bacile was a pseudonym and that the man was Christian. Klein had told the AP on Tuesday that the filmmaker was an Israeli Jew who was concerned for family members who live in Egypt."....... US police protect suspected anti-Islam filmmaker

Trying for humor, here. I was referring to your family members’ confusion. Sorry.

"I read now the FBI said there may be trouble in the US due to the film."

Something smells here, big time. Here's my conspiracy theory to fit the facts we have thus far.

Obama administration (he skipped Intelligence briefings on purpose for plausible deniability), receives notice of attack 48 hours in advance. Working with friends in Hollywood, they rapidly scrabble together a poorly made film as a "scapegoat", or they repurpose an existing poorly made film. Video is posted to Google (Dem sponsor) just prior to the attack. Scapegoat in place.

Attack spurs further protests working the Middle East into a frenzy. Terrorist groups launch splinter cells here in the U.S. and create a few domestic terror events (bridge or building bombings). Obama has his 9/11 moment, and steps forward to rally the nation. Obama rides wave of patriotism back into the White House.

Remember how much the Democrats HATED George W. Bush, particularly because of how he rallied the nation after 9/11, even wishing 9/11 had happened on "their watch".

Cogent post amongst the static clutter.

I also think Iran is acting through at least two degrees of separation and is the source. There are no fingerprints or DNA

We’re supposed to believe all these Middle Easterners are sitting at their PC’s looking for anti-Muslim Youtube videos and it “all of a sudden” went viral?

These mobs were deliberately riled up.

Production quality aside the, um, Video makes a very reasonable assertion:
 
"Man + x = BT
and
 BT - x = Man"
 
{ Where BT represents Islamic (Theocratic ) Terrorist (Tyrant) and x... must be the self-evident Truth discovered by the FREE Individual }

Yep. 

 


"...who, being themselves but fallible and uninspired men, have assumed dominion over the faith of others, setting up their own opinions and modes of thinking as the only true and infallible, and as such endeavoring to impose them on others, hath established and maintained false religions over the greatest part of the world, and through all time;
 
...
 
 that it is time enough for the rightful purposes of civil government, for its officers to interfere when principles break out into overt acts against peace and good order; and finally, that truth is great and will prevail if left to herself, that she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict, unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate, errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them.

All of the controversy about this film with no advertising meanwhile the MSM, Roger Ebert, et al continue to ignore 2016: Obama’s America. Makes you go “hmmmmmm”.
