The film was an excuse, in case Americans don’t know, and whatever follows the first attack is planned in detail. Believe it.

The video is a fake excuse. In Egypt some of the “protestors” were paid. Some wore Guy Fawkes masks and there was Occupuke graffiti.

This was planned, the hoax movie was planned, and the muzfreaks were giving the “go” signal. How many watched the damn hoax movie anyway?

The official talking point is the video. And they keep drumming it for one reason:

TO MAKE ALL “BLASPHEMY (AKA AS “TRUTH”) ABOUT ISLAM ILLEGAL!!!!!

Protesters march towards US consulates in Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar

Tuesday, September 18, 2012
From Print Edition

ISLAMABAD: Violent protests against the anti-Islam film continued across the country on Monday as demonstrators marched towards the US consulates in Lahore, Karachi and Peshawar, and two protesters were killed in Upper Dir.

The police baton-charged and fired teargas shells to disperse charged crowds, who also burnt US flags and chanted slogans.Two persons were killed and two others injured when the police in Upper Dir allegedly opened fire at the protesters. The angry protesters, which included students, set on fire the local Press Club after they alleged that journalists were refusing to cover the rally.

The situation turned violent after the killing of a protester, identified as Muhammad, who was a vendor. The provoked protesters also torched government offices and vehicles.Eyewitness said the police arrested some students after they torched the Press Club. Demonstrators then shifted their protest to outside the police station and pelted stones at the building. They said the police fired on protesters, killing one person and injuring three others. One of the injured, who was a student, later expired at the hospital.

However, a journalist from Wari who requested anonymity said journalists had not refused to cover the rally. “How can we do that? It’s our job and this is the age of competition. We cannot afford missing a story,” he said by phone. The journalist said several journalists sustained injuries in the protests, adding that the protesters would have killed them if they had not been shifted to a safer place. The journalist said someone misinformed the students that journalists were not present to cover the rally. “They marched to the Press Club and then set it on fire. I think someone instigated them to do so,” he said.

I am 100% sure this entire thing was planned, and much much more is on the way.

This news has been on the web for 7 hours is sourced from a Pro-Pakistan, Canadian Website.

It’s the only google source for the story.

It’s starting to smell unless anyone has confirmation from another source...

The terrorists can seize control of Paks nukes anytime they want.

Iran getting nukes is irrelevant in terms of the US security situation.

Is that a code phrase for “Israel can go to hell”?

If you find out more about the veracity of this, ping me. I can ask to have it pulled if it’s bogus. Since the American “news” sources are 0bastard/muz lickspittles, I’ll wait a bit and see if another source turns up. It should be clear in some hours, hopefully.

No, I support Israel strongly.

I also believe they will not attack Iran with conventional weaponry, as the attack stands little chance of being successful in achieving its goals.

Their program of assassination of scientists and cyber attacks is much more effective.

I am worried however about Pak losing a couple to Al Queda and an attack on an American city.

Of course, DC is safe, because even the ragheads have figured out there is no greater threat to the freedom and treasure of the American Citizenry than the Washingtonians from both parties and the Federal Apparatchiks inside the Beltway.
