Michael Moore Reveals Video of Bomb Suspect Amid Angry Crowd at Trump Rally
The Hollywood Reporter ^ | October 28, 2018 | Gregg Kilday

Posted on 10/28/2018 3:41:50 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Despite "a Hulk-like exterior," Cesar Sayoc, the Florida man charged with sending 14 bombs to President Trump’s political opponents, was “a lost dog with no direction home,” Michael Moore wrote in an Instagram post Sunday in which he revealed footage his crew shot of a February 2017 rally that Trump held in Melbourne, Fla., in which Sayoc can been seen as part of an angry crowd chanting "CNN sucks!"

Although the three-minute-38-seconds of raw footage did not make it into Moore’s current film, Fahrenheit 11/9, Moore — who himself was pictured, with a rifle’s cross hair superimposed on his image, on Sayoc’s van — released the video on YouTube Sunday "if only to give you a momentary glimpse of him in action."

In his Instagram post, Moore explained he sent a crew that included producer Basel Hamden and longtime collaborator Eric Weinrib to the rally, which took place in the month following Trump's inauguration, not to film Trump himself but to capture footage of the crowds he attracts in order to understand "our fellow Americans, lost souls full of anger and possible violence, easily fed a pile of lies so large and toxic that we wondered if there would ever be a chance that we could bring them back from the Dark Side.”

As the camera pans back and forth across the crowd hurling invectives at the media, Sayoc, holding aloft a “CNN sucks” sign, is briefly seen four times. “If you pause on him you will see something profound,” Moore writes, “fear in his eyes.”

Sayoc, he continues, belongs to a group of men who “have been led to believe, [they] were and are under attack by the likes of Hillary and Michelle and all those ‘feminazis’ who’ve had but one mission: political castration. The theft of power from the patriarchy that had been in place for 10,000 years.” (Watch the video below; Sayoc appears at the 0:42, 1:34, 1:44 and 3:15 marks.)

Moore goes on to say, “They have been told by Trump that they are at war — WAR! — against the rest of us, the vast, vast majority who believe climate change is real, who state without equivocation that women are equal citizens with an absolute right to control their own reproductive organs, who have seen how the free enterprise system is a hoax designed to destroy the middle class and who demand that all people have a right to easily cast their votes without any interference. Cesar and his bros ARE at war, against all these things, against us, the majority, and they are at war inside of and against themselves. This is why they will lose, but not before they take a few of us with them.”

The filmmaker, who says he is no stranger to threats, admits he was “a bit shaken” to see his face among those plastered on Sayoc’s van and that the authorities have been looking to see if a package had been mailed to him, but so far, none have been discovered.

Moore concludes: “Today we grieve over the latest loss of life this weekend in Pittsburgh. As it was when fascism started to spread in the last century, it begins with just a few thugs committing random acts of violence against the people whom their leader has told them to hate. Yet no matter what awful events await us in the coming days or weeks, we will not be deterred from our singular mission: The electoral tsunami of voters we are bringing to the polls on November 6th to end this madness.”

In a previous statement, issued Friday, Moore pointed to Trump and to Fox News for creating an atmosphere that breeds right-wing violence, saying, “Sadly, the new and dangerous dynamic of political violence in America is that it is now promoted and encouraged by the President of the United States. We must vote out of office all enablers of this man and the violent culture he instigates and nurtures. There are millions and millions of us who will never be intimidated, who will never back down, and who will show up on Election Day.”

The crowd doesnt exactly look angry. Even the wacko is laughing and smiling. The rallys I’ve been to, people are just having fun with the chants. Certainly not the anger of black lives matter or Antifa.

IF he really was there, perhaps there was fear in his eyes because he was being forced to be there to set the stage...

Please tell us your theory about how he was being mind controlled to show up at a rally.

Please?

The crowd is having a great time. They always are.

It's always the talking heads in the media that describe them as angry.

Kind of like how Michael Moore's cameraman just happened to get Abu Ghraib footage right before oddball contractor Nick Berg was abducted and decapitated by Zarqawi, eh, Mr. Moore? Just happenstance...

So Michael Moore “just happened” to have a video of this guy at a Trump rally. Too many “just happened” events add up to October surprises, pre-planned by the usual Democrat Party scum.

Has there been a live event with more video footage from more vantage angles than Trump events over the past 3 years?

That is way to good for just scanning the crowd, and that is what I meant. Up front and center. No doubting who it is. What are the odds of that happening? I think the odds for winning the Powerball or Mega Millions is probably better. Donald Trump had many rallies and yet he sends a crew to one that is quite far from his base of operation, even though there were plenty of rallies in his neck of the woods. Then to top it off, he finds it even though it was cut from his movie. Sounds awfully coincidental, and I am not a firm believer in coincidences. Are you? Sounds quite possibly like a setup.

If Cesar Sayoc was living out of his van, where was he building these pipe bombs at?

He wasn't building pipe bombs. He was building harmless devices that resembled a Hollywood version of what they think pipe bombs should look like.

I could've built those sitting in the front seat of my pickup truck.

When you're not worried about anything blowing up, I'd imagine making fake bombs is quite easy.

An enthusiastic steroid injecting loon wouldn't push and shove to be in the front row?

And with his criminal background he's not stranger to that.

Like I said before, the scary thing about this rally is that he pulled up in that crazy van and apparently no one scanned his license plate and set off red lights and sirens that we have a violent felon here make sure he stays outside.

Just how many other loose cannons have got through and are still getting through?

If indeed he was the one building them. Do you know how easy it is to get someone's finger prints and transfer that onto an object and set up someone? Trust me, much easier than you might think. As for the devices the following are descriptions as presented so far:

According to the NYT, the device sent to Soros's house was constructed from a length of PVC pipe about six inches (150 mm) long filled with explosive powder, and was proactively detonated by bomb squad technicians. Authorities reported that the devices recovered October 24 were packed with shards of glass. The bombs also contained pyrotechnic powder but lacked a triggering mechanism; the FBI described them as "potentially destructive devices. Law enforcement officials told the Associated Press the devices contained batteries and timers but were not rigged to explode when they opened.

So supposedly there would be different ingredients that at least some of which should be found in his vehicle. My questions are valid ones, and need answers.

The King of Lard comes off once again as creepy. No, Sayoc is a lifelong Demwit who has spent the past year expressing his lifelong mental illness in a different way. And no, he didn't send 14 bombs anywhere.

No mind control. I was merely positing that if this is a frame-up, it could have been set in motion awhile ago by whoever carefully stickered up his car and created the "bombs". A couple less glaring things I have wondered about include the timing of him registering as a Republican and those he followed on Twitter.

A total jerk and hypocrite lefty I know went to a lot of Tea Party rallies, said he was sympathetic but he was really there to "be seen" and try to get political props for a town election. He brought it up in all the right crowds.

Look how insanely elaborate Russia-gate is and how long they were planning all their "insurance"...is it really that outrageous to think the FBI or the DNC would approach people they thought they could embed and use for some purpose if need be? A low IQ, struggling, quasi-homeless, criminal is perfect.
Having said all that, maybe Moore et al paid him to go to rallies and wear a MAGA hat for filming like Bowfinger - Eddie Murphy in "Chubby Rain". LOL (yes, I'm kidding!)

There were agitators recruited and hired to cause trouble at candidate Trump’s campaign appearances. People who sought to create violence

The Charlottesville’s “unite the right” event was the doing of an Obamunist named Jason Kessler.

I am not saying that Caesar is a plant but Michael Moore was looking for “trouble” that was often being created by DNC Brownshirts.

I can’t recall a time when the media ever profiled Democrats who’ve sent Republicans threatening envelopes with “white powder”.

Loonies mailing bombs happened before. There was one in Austin earlier this year that blew himself up to avoid capture.

A student and a leftist so coverage dropped soon after, umm, he did.

You don't need a sleeper cell. And he's about the worst sleeper you can have with his constant attention seeking and arrest after arrest after arrest.

A total jerk and hypocrite lefty I know went to a lot of Tea Party rallies, said he was sympathetic but he was really there to "be seen" and try to get political props for a town election. He brought it up in all the right crowds.

Yup. And there were many of those at Trump events.

"Get'em outa here!"

And tons of cameras everywhere hoping to catch footage of Trump supporters being mean to them.

Look how insanely elaborate Russia-gate is and how long they were planning all their "insurance"...is it really that outrageous to think the FBI or the DNC would approach people they thought they could embed and use for some purpose if need be?

Russia Gate is Russia Gate and a red herring unless you're suggesting that they are connected...

Having said all that, maybe Moore et al paid him to go to rallies and wear a MAGA hat for filming like Bowfinger - Eddie Murphy in "Chubby Rain". LOL (yes, I'm kidding!)

Then he should have asked for more money so he could at least get an air conditioned apartment instead of living in a crazy van.

>>Check the date and time on the film. I’m sure Moore was at one of those “all you can eat” joints.

Fat Mike used a 2nd unit film crew to shoot his footage in Iraq in the early 2000s. He didn’t actually go there himself.

Among the people his film crew interviewed was Nick Berg who’d shared his email password with a terrorist who shared it with the 20th 9-11 hijacker. He later got kidnapped and got his head chopped off by Islamic terrorists.

well he was certainly a KNOWN WOLF with prior arrests on terrorist charges.

Who were his targets in the past?

There is a video taken by RSBN.TV actually ON that day. Let’s take a look for similarities. They pan the crowd all the way.
