Here is a photograph:
What is this? It is: “Just after midnight Saturday morning, 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 Muslim world.”
What is this? It is: The look of our very cherished First Amendment being abrogated.
Whereas — at first glance — you would believe that these First Amendment abrogators are members of the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department, the truth is actually up a level.
This man — not a particularly ethical or wise or insightful man — is a Coptic Christian. I suspect he created the video because his kind has been historically slaughtered in the Middle East at the behest of violent Muslims. And I suspect he’d had enough. Which resulted in his video. He managed to escape from Egypt and took his history with him.
On the other hand, he’d somehow come into contact with the federal law enforcement system in terms of various financial fraud counts. And let there be no mistake: evidently convicted.
Therefore, he was on “federal probation.”
From the UKDailyMail.com:
- Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, 55 was escorted to the sheriff’s station in Cerritos for interview over alleged probation violation
- Nakoula made inflammatory film ‘Innocence of Muslims’, sparking deadly protests across world and leading to the death of U.S. ambassador in Libya
- In 2010 he was convicted of $800,000 worth of bank fraud
- Suspected of using the alias Sam Bassil during film production but released on condition he didn’t access the internet or use aliases
- Nakoula has reportedly denied involvement in the film
After arriving at his home just after midnight deputies escorted Nakoula to an awaiting car and he was taken to the station where he was questioned over his involvement in the film production which has been blamed for the mass protests across the Middle East which resulted in the death of four American citizens on Wednesday.
Convicted of $800,000 worth of bank fraud in 2010, Nakoula, who is suspected of using the alias Sam Bassil during the production of the controversial film was released on the condition that he did not access the internet or use aliases.
And here are the details. The details you won’t read quite so conveniently in the DEM/MSM.
I know this on two levels: First, having worked for two federal law enforcement entities, and Second, having currently seen and experienced the complete and total incompetence of the federal probation system.
Most recently, a deputy with my department was savaged — and his wife and two children — in a rural community by a white male on federal probation. He played loud music, smoked dope, sped on local roads, told my deputy he knew he was a cop and would take him down, threatened his wife and children, and wholly did what he wished when he wished. Further, he posted his own behaviors and photographs on various social media networks. To include the photographs of dope and tattoos and gangs and crimes.
With nary a peep from his federal probation officer.
Further, let me add the obvious: the offender had a black female PO, and my deputy was a white male. You cannot tell me that the indifference of the offender’s PO didn’t include race, on two levels: her white probationer, and the problems of a white male complainant. Further: a white male complainant as a LEO, having the temerity to challenge her veracity.
Two white males contesting each other: sounds like “no problem” to a black female PO.
Therefore, I know the massive inefficacy of the federal probationary system. It simply reeks.
With that in mind, I would submit that the LASO was contacted by local federal authorities and asked to coordinate the detention of Nakoula. On the pretext of a potential federal probationary violation. Because federal authorities don’t do anything without a warrant or political support. There is no such general concept as a “fresh arrest.”
That said, LASO knew that Nakoula was a hot point. They didn’t want to be the agency responsible for the death of the man if assaulted in their detention. They didn’t want Nakoula killed whilst in their custody. Hence the large force.
Therefore the midnight extraction and the large number of LASO deputies present.
Two points federally:
– Nakoula was targeted for a very PUBLIC extraction because they wanted his name and address and point of contact to be in the public domain;
– They wanted him to be the focus of Islamic hate, and not Mr Obama.
By running the man into the public media, they made him an eliminational target 24/7.
It’s all bullshit.
Because there were multiple agendas going on here.
The LASO acquiesced to the midnight heist because they believed they were assisting the feds with a potentially-violent situation
The district AUSA got a call in the middle of the night telling him to put a lid on it. “Threatened,” would be more likely. “Just handle it,” is what he would have been told.
The federal government wanted to take the film down on YouTube. Google, oddly enough, resisted this force.
In this case, Google was completely correct.
Now you know the truth.
