Showing Original Post only (View all)This movie is like "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" meets "The Satanic Verses" [View all]
Jewish/Israeli filmmaker? A budget of $5 million dollars funded by "100 Jewish donors"?
C'mon! Is this not setting anyone else's bullshit meter off? This thing reeks of a false flag. It reminds me of the infamous FBI-produced Black Panther Coloring Book, or the Protocols of the Elders of Zion or- fuck, just about take your pick.
This shit isn't a movie. Look at it, skip through it. But look at at it. This thing is designed to be as inflammatory as possible to Muslims and to the movie's "creator" is doing everything to convince the world he is a Jew/Israeli and this was funded by Jews.
You know what this looks like? This looks like something a fundamentalist Christian would make. One who hates Muslims and wants to pin the fallout on the Jews. Someone who wants to intentionally cause violence and hatred between the two groups.
Look at this article from the HuffPo about an hour ago:
[div class="excerpt" style="border: 1px solid #bfbfbf; border-bottom: none; border-radius: 0.3846em 0.3846em 0em 0em; box-shadow: 2px 2px 6px #bfbfbf;"]Sam Bacile Mystery: All We Know Is That His Film Exists[div class="excerpt" style="border: 1px solid #bfbfbf; border-top: none; border-radius: 0em 0em 0.3846em 0.3846em; background-color: #f4f4f4; box-shadow: 2px 2px 6px #bfbfbf;"]Bacile had no internet presence and was a member of no social media networks prior to this incident. There are no early casting calls or production notices for the film. Nor does the film have a page on IMDB, the film database. No actors or crew members have been named or identified, and only a couple of the film's apparent backers -- fringe figures like pastor Terry Jones, Morris Sadek of the Coptic Church and Steve Klein, a "consultant" on the film who self-released an anti-Islamic book in 2010 -- have come forward to reveal themselves.
What we know about Bacile and his film comes solely from his own mouth. During an interview he gave Tuesday from an undisclosed location, Bacile said he was an Israeli-American real estate developer who raised $5 million from 100 Jewish donors, none of whom he identified. He doesn't appear to have a California real estate license, according to a review of online real estate databases.
Using a "thick" accent, Bacile said he used 60 actors and 45 crew members and that the project was shot in 2011 over three months in California. He called Islam a "cancer" and railed on the lack of security at the American embassies. He also said he planned to go into hiding as protests escalated.
--snip--
Though Bacile is a mystery, we do know a bit more about Steve Klein, who told the Associated Press on Wednesday that he was a "consultant" on Bacile's film. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, the former Marine was part of the controversial California "Church at Kawea," near Fresno, and a member of a "secretive cohort of militant fundamentalists" preparing for war against Muslims in spring 2012. He believed that California was riddled with Muslim Brotherhood sleeper cells "who are awaiting the trigger date and will begin randomly killing as many of us as they can."
You should read the full article on this! The link is above the excerpt.
This thing doesn't look like a "movie". It looks like false-flag agitprop psyops I-have-no-idea-what-the-fuck.
But the one thing it doesn't look like...is the thing it purports to be.

This thing is just laughably, horribly, awful and amateurish. Or it WOULD be

Interesting. Definitely agitprop. But, it still looks like a Sheldon Adelson-funded project

Looks like it was made by the KKK. That's the most obvious, stupid thing I've ever wasted time on.

I think...this thing might be almost 100% dog-whistle. Think about it: When we watch this, it...

When I first heard the story, I was expecting something like "The Last Temptation of Christ"
