"Film" Director's Identity Disorder
« on: September 13, 2012, 02:45:46 PM »
This seems all too familiar...

Feds ID California man's role in anti-Islam film
WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal authorities have identified a southern California man once convicted of financial crimes as the key figure behind the anti-Muslim film that ignited mob violence against U.S. embassies across the Mideast, a U.S. law enforcement official said Thursday...

A federal law enforcement official said Thursday that Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, 55, was the man behind "Innocence of Muslims"... The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation, said Nakoula was connected to the persona of Sam Bacile, a figure who initially claimed to be the writer and director of the film. But Bacile quickly turned out to a false identity and the Associated Press traced a cellphone number used by Bacile to a southern California house where Nakoula was found...

Nakoula denied that he was Bacile and insisted he did not direct the film, though he said he knew Bacile. But federal court papers filed against Nakoula in a 2010 criminal prosecution said that he had used numerous aliases in the past. Among the fake names, the documents said, were Nicola Bacily, Robert Bacily and Erwin Salameh, all similar to the Sam Bacile persona. Other aliases described in the documents included Ahmad Hamdy, Kritbag Difrat and PJ Tobacco.


Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

The identity of the film director is immaterial and, frankly, irrelevant.  The filmmaker has every right to make any foolish film he/she wants as long as I am not obligated to finance it or attend its performance.  The real agenda of the radical islamists is to do anything and everything they can, using any excuse necessary, to deny us the right to free speech and the right to worship or not worship any God we wish.  The rest is smoke.

Replace "cellphone number" with "IP address" and PJ Tobacco with Hoopaloop.

What Sam Bacile is Hoopaloop?  I'm confused.

I am giddy with anticipation to see where this thread goes, because right now it is completely nonsensical!

Unsure if sarcasm.

Unsure if willfully ignorant or unaware of news reports demonstrating attacks to be coordinated?

Unsure if unaware of mortar shells aimed at safe house?

Unsure if shameless appeasing blocking neurological activity?
