69. So it sounds like you recognize that this was a coordinated plan

Your dismissal of conspiracy theory notwithstanding, you recognize that thousands of people were "told to riot."

Yep. Who translated and disseminated it, timed for the anniversary of 9-11? Mc Mike Nov 2012 #1
I think that investigators should be following the money. yardwork Nov 2012 #4
They put that Coptic Basselly guy in jail on a probation violation. Mc Mike Nov 2012 #7
It stinks like Iran-Contra. It has that stench. yardwork Nov 2012 #8
Off the shelf intel ops by the out of power repug party. Mc Mike Nov 2012 #10
Yes, and it goes back further than Kennedy. yardwork Nov 2012 #15
I'd like to see some good investigative journalism, and good gov oversight investigation by OUR side Mc Mike Nov 2012 #21
That's why I posted this thread. Maybe some trolling journalist will get an idea. yardwork Nov 2012 #23
Exactly brush Nov 2012 #54
I think your post is excellent, has great points. Mc Mike Nov 2012 #59
"Let's start riots so we can complain about the lack of law and order" struggle4progress Nov 2012 #2
Exactly. And maybe "let's start riots" so that they will lead to an October surprise. yardwork Nov 2012 #6
last I heard the filmaker was in jail on quinnox Nov 2012 #3
I think that you're missing my point. yardwork Nov 2012 #5
The CIA? Rex Nov 2012 #9
That piece of garbage is NOT a high-budget production slackmaster Nov 2012 #12
Really? Iirc at least one Hollywood actor said that they were hired as talent. yardwork Nov 2012 #13
really. just google it. it was a low, low cost thingie. cali Nov 2012 #51
See post #54 yardwork Nov 2012 #68
It was not slick, required almost no money to produce and B2G Nov 2012 #16
This is the article I remembered reading. yardwork Nov 2012 #28
you might at least try due diligence and actually research before posting bullshit. cali Nov 2012 #53
I have no argument with you about the actual cost, cal. Mc Mike Nov 2012 #61
Are you saying that the article is bullshit? What is your evidence? yardwork Nov 2012 #67
It sounds to me like lame excuses for religious fanatics quinnox Nov 2012 #18
Interesting use of right-wing talking points to attempt to derail this thread. yardwork Nov 2012 #24
No, I just don't see what the point would be of quinnox Nov 2012 #32
the original video-maker was not involved in the translation and dubbed script magical thyme Nov 2012 #39
no. it was violation of parole. cali Nov 2012 #52
He was convicted of bank fraud, then released on probation CJCRANE Nov 2012 #76
It doesn't matter who funded it slackmaster Nov 2012 #11
Way to the miss the point. yardwork Nov 2012 #14
Your point is moot. The video was not the true cause of any riots or violence. slackmaster Nov 2012 #17
I don't think you understand my point or you are trying hard to divert attention from it. yardwork Nov 2012 #27
I'll say it again - It doesn't matter who made the video or who paid for it. slackmaster Nov 2012 #33
Open your mind a bit brush Nov 2012 #56
OK, it's open now. slackmaster Nov 2012 #63
So you don't think . . . brush Nov 2012 #65
Forget it, brush. Mc Mike Nov 2012 #66
Investigating for WHAT? There's no indication that a crime was committed. slackmaster Nov 2012 #74
We're talking about a political process. yardwork Nov 2012 #77
If nobody is investigating it to your satisfaction, perhaps you should investigate it yourself slackmaster Nov 2012 #80
This thread is yielding all kinds of interesting discussion, which was my goal. yardwork Nov 2012 #86
Thank you for your excellent assessment. I agree. PufPuf23 Nov 2012 #119
Tell that to Egypt and the dozen other nations that rioted because of the movie. Barack_America Nov 2012 #58
Funny, there are millions of muslims in the US. None of them 4th law of robotics Nov 2012 #90
The movie wasn't publicized here like it was in Egypt. Barack_America Nov 2012 #121
People put offensive and stupid things on the internet every day, probably a million times a day. Mc Mike Nov 2012 #19

I noticed "Slack's" lack of re to my 19, Mc Mike Nov 2012 #49
Yeah brush Nov 2012 #91
Yes, it does.... OldDem2012 Nov 2012 #105
Um, those protections would protect whoever funded it as well 4th law of robotics Nov 2012 #112
About as "elaborate" as the scheme put together to make John Kerry's military service.... OldDem2012 Nov 2012 #115
I think all this talk about political conspiracies is just a smoke screen to keep people from 4th law of robotics Nov 2012 #116
Why was this filmmaker/turd even in the US? AngryAmish Nov 2012 #20
Good questions. I wonder why. yardwork Nov 2012 #26
There does not appear to be a link between the video and Benghazi ProgressiveProfessor Nov 2012 #22
There may be no link with Benghazi but it's a hell of a coincidence yardwork Nov 2012 #25
From a post-er appelated 'azurnoir', posted on Hissy's 'Flash' o.p., on 9/12: Mc Mike Nov 2012 #50
I think it's a hell of a coincidence that 9/11 occurred 4th law of robotics Nov 2012 #113
Unlikely. Igel Nov 2012 #29
I'm not saying that the video caused the attacks. Nobody is saying that. yardwork Nov 2012 #30
Keep making sense, yardwork . . . brush Nov 2012 #94
In the absence of other data, it was reasonable to assume the video and attack were related stevenleser Nov 2012 #34
Good question blue_heron Nov 2012 #35
I've been working on this ... Mme. Defarge Nov 2012 #36
Thank you very much! This is exactly what I was hoping somebody would start to explore. yardwork Nov 2012 #40
I think the amazing thing - what needs to be focused on is not as much the production Laura PourMeADrink Nov 2012 #42
Very good point. That would take money and connections. yardwork Nov 2012 #44
and maybe twitter (seriously) Laura PourMeADrink Nov 2012 #45
What interested me the most Mme. Defarge Nov 2012 #46
YES! brush Nov 2012 #98

Interesting that Geller was soliciting after the movie was made... hexola Nov 2012 #71
She did produce those anti-muslim posters . . . brush Nov 2012 #102
My money's on Pam Geller...BUT the bigger question is the coordination.... Junkdrawer Nov 2012 #82
Ah hah! brush Nov 2012 #103
Exactement! Mme. Defarge Nov 2012 #117
My point above is Mme. Defarge Nov 2012 #120
The numerous protests seemed to be well organized... AntiFascist Nov 2012 #37
wouldn't this be amazing,,,,if this was all uncovered and proven to be a staged event. Laura PourMeADrink Nov 2012 #43
Who were the mysterious "people who were saved" by the ex-seals?? hexola Nov 2012 #73

The attack on Rice is a smokescreen to cover for Romney. DevonRex Nov 2012 #38
Interesting speculation! yardwork Nov 2012 #41
Yes. DevonRex Nov 2012 #47
So there may be more to Patraeus' downfall . . . brush Nov 2012 #107
I don't think there was ever actually a "movie" d_r Nov 2012 #55
Calling it a preview implied that an entire movie was in production. That was the point. yardwork Nov 2012 #72
video. bionnaki Nov 2012 #60
But people did riot over it. People riot when preacher Terry burns a Koran in Florida. yardwork Nov 2012 #70
The video is just a maguffin. The effect comes from what the TV pundits CJCRANE Nov 2012 #83
Exactly! What is going on here? yardwork Nov 2012 #85
It was laughable how could anyone get offended at such nonsense? ileus Nov 2012 #62
I'm pretty sure most of the rioters never saw the video slackmaster Nov 2012 #64
So it sounds like you recognize that this was a coordinated plan yardwork Nov 2012 #69
The riots were all about the anniversary of 9/11 slackmaster Nov 2012 #75
And you know this for a fact how? Did the CIA provide you with talking points? yardwork Nov 2012 #78
A bunch of Muslims rioting on September 11 is nothing to see slackmaster Nov 2012 #81
Ahhh . . . brush Nov 2012 #108
I'm betting money that the regular names were involved malaise Nov 2012 #79
There's also a clear Florida connection, which suggests the Bushes. yardwork Nov 2012 #84
Which would mean Rove. brush Nov 2012 #109
Don't rule it out malaise Nov 2012 #118
No laws were broken. That's why law enforcement isn't investigating 4th law of robotics Nov 2012 #87
That talking point got trashed upthread. You'll need to check with headquarters for the next one. yardwork Nov 2012 #88
When did 'talking point' become code for an accurate and true point 4th law of robotics Nov 2012 #89
One word - DURHAM D Nov 2012 #92
Er, no. 4th law of robotics Nov 2012 #93
Why not? DURHAM D Nov 2012 #95
Because the movie didn't advocate rebelling against US laws 4th law of robotics Nov 2012 #96
Love your narrowly defined definition of sedition... NOT. DURHAM D Nov 2012 #97
I used the definition you provided 4th law of robotics Nov 2012 #99
You may want to read it again. DURHAM D Nov 2012 #100
Actually you may want to read it 4th law of robotics Nov 2012 #101
Again, we won't know until investigated. DURHAM D Nov 2012 #110
No court has considered this a crime 4th law of robotics Nov 2012 #111
