The producer of the controversial anti-Islam film “Innocence of Muslims” has been arrested for violating terms of his probation and is set for a court appearance this afternoon in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles.
Given the way things are going- it's likely true.
Laying the groundwork for a crack-down on TALK RADIO.
THAT is what they are really after. AND scaring all Christian clergy into shutting up about what God says about homosexuality.
maybe this is why Obama is keeping GITMO open? to send this guy there...
Ok- that didn’t take long- here’s the story:

The producer of the controversial anti-Islam film “Innocence of Muslims” has been arrested for violating terms of his probation and is set for a court appearance this afternoon in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles.
Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, 55, is scheduled for an initial appearance before Judge Christina Snyder, who sentenced him in June 2009 following a bank fraud conviction.
Investigators have not yet provided details about how Nakoula allegedly violated probation, but is seems clear that his involvement in the “Innocence of Muslim” production is central to the government’s claim.
People still read Drudge Report?
Under the guise of a probation violation this guy’s going to get Zimmerman’d. What a clusterf_ck of a country we have under 0bama.
What is he charged with? “Slander” isn’t a criminal offense.
What was the White House’s Arabic statement?
34 million people read the DrudgeReport daily.
Probation violation?
See post #4
Good grief...
I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK!!
This is insanity.
How can Obama’s media prevent this from hurting his election chances?
... we’ll find out.
Arrested FOR WHAT?!?!?!
Providing the White House with an excuse for LOUSY SECURITY POLICY?!?!?!
Probably some trumped up charge on probation violations. This won’t help Obama. Hopefully, Romney has the spine to go after Obama on this one.
Poor bastards.
Its true..even my local TV station in LA is reporting it. Just watch, this guy will be used by the Obama regime and killed for daring to make a movie showing the pedophile Mohammed for what he really is..this guy will probably be killed in jail
UnREAL. They’re going to say it’s a minor technicality- nothing to do with the video...tsk-tsk..just a “probation violation”...
This has got to be wrong. There is NO MOVIE!! Obama took a 12 minute trailer and used it to cover up GhaziGate! Arrest Bill Maher for Religulous. Arrest Obama for inciting violence but making up a lie. People died during these protest therefore he violated the 2006 Terror Act.
But hasn’t it been found that this guy has long ties to terrorist Muslims and nothing to do with Coptic Christians?
This was staged as a pretext to violence and a push for anti-blasphemy laws. I wonder if they’re arresting him to try to keep it quiet.
I suppose they will use bank fraud as an excuse to go after this guy. But everyone will know that’s not the real reason.
OTOH, this would be rather amusing if, as some stories claim, the movie itself was produced by Muslim fanatics as an excuse for ratcheting up their war against infidels. Or, perhaps, as a way to get a Muslim protection bill passed by the UN, making it illegal to criticize them. There are enough Muslim nations in the UN to make that a real possibility.
“Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed?” said Dr. Ferris. “We want them broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against—then you’ll know that this is not the age for beautiful gestures. We’re after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you’d better get wise to it. There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there it that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted—and you create a nation of lawbreakers—and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system, Mr. Rearden, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.”
Obama wanted to get this guy for offending the one faith that Obama respects, so he had his people find a law in the thousands of pages of laws on the books that would allow the White House to prosecute this guy. Whether or not decent people approve of the film (message or production values) is irrelevant; we should object to a political prosecution as punishment for political speech. Sadly, I'm not surprised. It also wouldn't surprise me if next year started with federal-local cooperation in which Freepers and Tea Partiers in liberal areas would be targeted in fishing expeditions that search for crimes that we can be charged with, just like this guy's persecution.
ACLU to the rescue in 3...2...1...0...-1001, -1002, -1003...
Grrr!
Of course, they are calling it a “Probation Violation” meanwhile this guy is going to be killed in person. He won’t get any protection, the second he enters jail he’s done
I don’t suppose we’ll be hearing from Hollywood and the press on our first amendment rights. Scary times when the media allows this to stand. Good God, do they love him that much that they are willing to give up our free speech rights? What has happened to our beloved country?
Judge Christina Snyder,
A Clinton appointee, husband on the board of the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles.
She’ll do whatever the Dems want done, however the Dems want it done.
After a million dollars, he will be exonerated, but broke.
Now (breaking) they just arrested the film maker on a parole violation(?)...before the nightly world news that would otherwise air Hillary Clinton’s admission that it was a planned Al Qeada attack in Libya.
==> The media is being played like a fiddle! They’ll dutifully lap it up at the dog dish.
-PJ
Mark levin talking about this now. He is disgusted!
We need a Spartacus moment on youtube with THOUSANDS of folk making film clips mocking or pissing on Mohammed’s turban!! WHEN do we Christians riot and get that bastard who made the Christ in a glass full of urine art, btw which is being displayed in NY again as I type?? When does that artist get thrown in the slammer for that offensive art work? The PC police are opening up a Pandora box and they’re not gonna like what is coming down the alley!!
He won’t last long in jail with a $100,000 bounty on his head.
Drudge is nothing but headlines and links to breaking news from all over the world.
You really need to lay off the curmudgeon sauce.
I am listening to Mark Levin too. Wow!
Drudge needs to rotate some of those headlines off. I’ve never seen his page this long before. No one’s going to read all those.
They arrested him on some other charges that were pending. That means that they KNEW were to find him, and didn’t bother arresting him until the savagery in the middle east. That means that he is being arrested because of the savagery in the middle east. He is a sacrificial lamb, cut up and thrown to the savages to satisfy their bloodthirsty urges.
I don’t know...this may just be a coincidence..but...

It's also the unofficial media arm of the RNC and the Romney campaign. Maybe you like that, maybe you don't. Just stating a fact here.
PLEASE! Read this article!!!! The guy who made it is NOT A COPTIC CHRISTIAN!!!

Innocence of Muslims made by Terrorists

There is more to the story of Nakoula Basseley Nakoula than what we are told by the media. Court documents reveal that Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, producer of the movie Innocence of Muslims, partnered in a scheme with Eiad Salameh, my first cousin, a Palestinian Muslim from Beit Sahour in the Palestinian district of Bethlehem.
To prove my claim, I revealed Eiad Salameh long before this whole fiasco erupted—in 2008 and the first real reportage of Eiad and Nakoula was revealed on September 14th, 2012.
Now do I have your attention?
The narrative that circulates the media fails to answer crucial questions behind the mystery of this film.
For example, to date, no one has stepped forward or can confirm for certain that whoever holds an identity by the name of Nakoula Basseley Nakoula is that man’s true identity. In the Middle East, if a man by the name of Nakoula Basseley Nakoula indeed exists while being blamed for creating a mess of international proportions—which included the anger of over one billion Muslims—it would not be that difficult to find the entire family in Egypt, including brothers, cousins, aunts, siblings wife, wives, ex-wives, mistresses, pets and all.
In the Middle East, no one can hide. Egypt is where the demonstrations that have taken place all over the Middle East and Asia were sparked. Yet, it cannot produce this man’s background?
Besides, why would Nakoula, who claims to be a religious Coptic activist, have extensive connections with Eiad? My cousin hated Copts with a passion and is well-known in the Middle East as a master schemer, probably one of the best the Middle East has produced. He also has multiple contacts with terror networks.
Eiad is from Beit Sahour, Bethlehem. He is a dubious individual who was well known in the Arab community as the main contact for obtaining authentic, legitimate identifications from passports to credit cards, under many nationalities. He then places these identifications into the hands of dubious characters whose names are not the names written on the passports.
Eiad is a Muslim terror supporter and is not an Egyptian Copt. Both my cousin Eiad and whoever this man is who pretends to be Nakoula, had multiple, fraudulent identifications and the two connected for a decade in multiple scheming operations—the type that usually links to terrorism.
The Daily Beast reported regarding Nakoula’s bust:
The bust came around the time the feds were launching Operation Mountain Express, which would become a huge investigation into pseudoephedrine-dealing involving numerous people of a Middle Eastern background. The authorities initially insisted there were no links to terrorism, but suddenly switched and decided that a chunk of the money was going to Hizbullah.
Eiad, like Nakoula, portrayed and identified himself as an Israeli Jew, a thing Eiad did for years. He even fraudulently holds an authentic Israeli passport.
No one knows for certain that Nakoula is even who he claims to be, but we are 100% certain that both my cousin Eiad and Nakoula had multiple fraudulent identifications and what has never been disclosed until now is that the two were linked for at least a decade.
First of all, clan Nakoula also exists in Eiad’s village Beit Sahour Bethlehem. It is still the little town of Bethlehem, just as it was in Biblical times.
The feds are also silent and have kept much of this issue away from public view. Despite Nakoula’s previous offenses, the Justice Department lawyers and federal agents defended him, giving several excuses to Judge Snyder and pushed for leniency, all because of him supposedly promising to help them catch Eiad.
Via the sentencing transcript:
…he [Nakoula] has implicated Mr. Salamay [aka Salameh] there is no question that Mr. Salamay at some point is gonna be indicted if he hasn’t already been… we all know what’s gonna happen. Salamay is gonna get arrested some day and based on the debriefing information turned over he is gonna enter a guilty plea, or if he doesn’t, then Mr. Nakoula is going to be called in to testify…
This claim by the Feds is false.
If the feds were indeed interested in catching Eiad, he was in fact doing his shenanigans for three decades without a single arrest and despite several arrest warrants issued.
He was in fact finally locked up in January 2011 in Canada as we were told by our contact out of the Intelligence Bureau in Canada (IBC) who wrote us by email (which we have the evidence).
While the Canadians wanted to keep Eiad in custody as long as it took and were working with the Feds to extradite him to the United States, the U.S. preferred not to bring Eiad in to face justice. Instead, they asked the Canadians to fly him to freedom in Palestine.
I received my last email from my contact on July 15th, 2011, which stated: “He is awaiting deportation to Palestine, unless the US hurry up and indict him…” The feds never responded to the Canadian’s last appeal and within a few days, Eiad was put on a plane, courtesy of the Canadian taxpayers.
Where did he go?
Palestine.
The Palestinian terror connection to this film increases once we learned that Nakoula used Eiad’s last name “Erwin Salameh” portraying himself as his brother. As we also obtained from our contact in the IBC, Eiad was also involved with someone having the last name “Tanas” as late as 2011 and Nakoula had used the name “Thomas J. Tanas”.
In addition, the naming convention used by Nakoula in 2009 looks remarkably similar to one of Eiad’s embezzlement operations in 2000.
Nakoula used a fictitious company called M & A Trading in 2009, which he simply switched from Eiad’s A & M Trading as revealed in the U.S. Trustee report in 2001.
I can provide much evidence privately to reliable media, on the condition that the names of the agents remain anonymous (as per their request) but I have disclosed Eiad in all of my seminars to hundreds of FBI agents and police force.
Full Report Here.
So who is this man behind the film Innocence of Muslims?
To identify his motives, I then obtained a radio interview in Arabic that this supposed Nakoula gave in which he stated that he is not Christian but a secular liberal. He was asked, “What is your position on the Jewish and the Christian faith?” Nakoula responded, “I have no calling for these religions.”
Nakoula, who stated that he was an author of several books on Islam (written in Arabic) refused to give his name to the interviewer. Yet, if court documents give his legal name as Nakoula Bacile/Bassele Nakoula, I found no books under that name. Nothing. And neither did anyone produce them.
Nakoula was lying again and is no Coptic author.
A court document refers to a letter from a friend who referred to Nakoula as “a God-fearing man whose first priority is his family.”
This contradicts what he said in Arabic; he is not interested in Christianity or Judaism and is possibly a Muslim.
Nakoula claimed that he produced the film with his son, Abanob Basseley, and the money for it (between $50,000 and $60,000) came from his wife’s family in Egypt.
None of this has been proven.
What has been proven is that he embezzled millions with Eiad and the money must have come from these scandalous operations, which are usually linked to terrorist activity.
Why would any anti-Islam Christian or even Jewish activist want the destruction of his own? It makes zero sense, unless of course this person intends to do harm to his real enemies—Israel and the Copts.
Both are Eiad’s ardent enemies.
How is it possible that these two would snuggle up together for a decade?
On one hand, we have a Meth-dealer-Egyptian-Coptic-anti-Muslim-activist-fundamentalist-Christian. Then on the other hand, we have a Muslim-fundamentalist-Palestinian-scam-artist-terrorist.
The results of this entire fiasco will not be the apprehension of terrorists, but the continual chipping away at the First-Amendment, since Americans by and large are still practicing the art of self-blame while they ignore the real culprits who enter our country with the intent of doing it much harm.
Goodbye First Amendment. Do you realize the type and level of control this will give the tyrants if they succeed? These are scary times indeed.
This is so weird as to almost be unbelievable.
Innocence of Muslims Film actually made by TERRORISTS?

Mark Levin should read the article I just posted above and talk to Walik Shoebat!
First this guy was reported as an Israeli, then he was said to be a copt. Is this guy really a Muslim? Who paid for the “film “ to be made? I heard he was given $5 mil to make it.
tha feds?
