Alleged 'Innocence of Muslims' filmmaker taken in for interviewing by deputies
Los Angeles Times ^ | September 15, 2012

Posted on 09/15/2012 1:08:09 AM PDT by bd476



Just after midnight, authorities descended on the Cerritos home of the man believed to be the filmmaker behind the anti-Muslim movie that has sparked protests and rioting in the Arab world.

Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies escorted a man believed to be Nakoula Basseley Nakoula to an awaiting car. The man declined to answer questions on his way out and wore a hat and a towel over his face. He kept his hands in the pocket of a winter coat.

Sheriff's officials could not be reached by The Times, but department spokesman Steve Whitmore told NBC4 that deputies assisting the federal probation department took Nakoula to the sheriff's substation in Cerritos for interviewing.

Authorities waited until most media had left for the day.

Earlier Friday, sheriff’s deputies had to escort attorneys through a scrum of news cameras into Nakoula’s home. This time, authorities only had to avoid a lone photographer for The Times and a few other lingering reporters.

Nakoula has told the Associated Press he was a logistics manager on the "Innocence of Muslims" movie, not the director. He told a Coptic bishop Thursday that he had no role in it, the clergyman told The Times.

His work was the video and now he stands to make millions off of it.

He allegedly made the video. Making videos does not violate his probation. If he handed the video to a friend, and the friend posted it, then HE has not used the Internet.

I watched most of it. Poorly made. Probably worst movie I have ever seen. However everything I saw seems to be accurate based on the hadiths I’ve read. So all this over a factual movie? Incredible. However this incident is quite revealing about muslims and liberals.

The world is now safe, the possible filmmaker is in custody. I am sure all the terrorists will go back to their peaceful ways.

This whole thing is fishy. A $5 million film that looks like it was shot for maybe $50,000.

The filmmaker claimed to be an Israeli Jew, only he turned out to be an Egyptian Coptic...Just not buying a lot of this. No self-respecting Christian would claim to be a Jew from Israel while releasing a film they knew would stir up things.

I really wonder about this guy's background, this just smells of something deeper.

This makes the Hussein regime culpable in the movie and therefore responsible for the muslim atrocities. Hey, if the MSM can make foolish connections, so can I..

I am compelled to note that within a week we know all about this guy whereas, at least by virtue of the MSM’s investigations, we still know virtually nothing about the current pResident of the United States. Sigh.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” Joseph Goebbels

Wow! Freedom of speech? What’s that? The following is an action that Stalin himself would approve of:

“Just after midnight, authorities descended on the Cerritos home of the man believed to be the filmmaker behind the anti-Muslim movie that has sparked protests and rioting in the Arab world.

Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies escorted a man believed to be Nakoula Basseley Nakoula to an awaiting car.

On Friday, U.S. courts spokeswoman Karen Redmond said the Office of Probation in the Central District of California is reviewing whether Nakoula, who was convicted on bank fraud charges, violated terms of his probation in relation to the video and its uploading onto the web.”

At some point a would-be tyrant has to stop pretending he’s nice to everyone and has to start being downright oppressive.

Had an interesting encounter recently in the home of an acquaintance. Salt of the earth type of Americans, retired, husband an Army vet. TV news was on, blaring about this “video” and the family members were yelling at the TV “BUT WHO MADE THIS VIDEO? WHO MADE IT?” Then they proceeded to opine that Muslims had it made in order to have an excuse to attack us.

I didn’t say a word. Thought to myself, “eh, I think they’ve already figured out who made it”

But the more I think about this....the more I wonder....

Were “Sam Bacile” and “The Innocence of Muslims” Part of a Salafi Plot All Along?

“...taken in on what grounds?”

Parole violation. He’s supposed to avoid computer use because of a fraud conviction.

He’s also not allowed to use any assumed names (i.e. Sam Bacile)...

OK, I just wasted almost 14 minutes of my life watching that unbelievably poor clip, with horrifically bad acting and overdubbing.

There is NO WAY this nothing burger is the cause of the embassy attacks and murders. How stupid does zero and his henchmen (AKA as the media) think we are?

So the first amendment no longer stands? If that is so, can someone perp walk Bill Maher? Put his 24-style inquisition on pay per view and retire the national debt.
