Muhammad Film Consultant: ‘Sam Bacile’ is Not Israeli, and Not a Real Name
(The Atlantic) – As part of my search for more information about Sam Bacile, the alleged producer of the now-infamous anti-Muhammad film trailer “The Innocence of Muslims,” I just called a man named Steve Klein — a self-described militant Christian activist in Riverside, California.
Klein told me that Bacile, the producer of the film, is not Israeli, and most likely not Jewish, as has been reported, and that the name is, in fact, a pseudonym. He said he did not know “Bacile”‘s real name. He said Bacile contacted him because he leads anti-Islam protests outside of mosques and schools, and because, he said, he is a Vietnam veteran and an expert on uncovering al Qaeda cells in California.
“I can tell you this for sure, the State of Israel is not involved, Terry Jones (the radical Christian Quran-burning pastor) is not involved. There are about 15 people associated with the making of the film. Nobody is anything but an active American citizen. They’re from Syria, Turkey, Pakistan, they’re some that are from Egypt. Some are Copts but the vast majority are Evangelical.”
Klein’s anti-Islam protest: Chaparral high school students enmeshed in mosque debate plus photo.
Jim Horn, a Menifee-based author, and Steve Klein of San Jacinto hand out fliers to students leaving Chaparral High School. The fliers argue that Islam does not qualify for protection under the First Amendment because the religion does not foster peace. The men are members of a group called Concerned Citizens for The First Amendment (CCFA).
Laurie Webster, the mother of a Chaparral student, said she was mortified when her daughter came home with the flier that had been handed out by Horn.
“They say these terrible things and they don’t back them up. It’s fear-mongering targeted to children.”
During some of his previous First Amendment outreaches and in associated lawsuits, Klein has argued against the comments of a pastor and San Clemente’s ban on anti-illegal-immigrant leaflets. Klein said he also has faced off against a group of Saudi Arabian Muslims in San Diego.

Spat over leaflets vs. litter: Supreme Court won’t hear it
The US Supreme Court declined to enter a dispute between a group of political activists and the City of San Clemente, Calif., over an attempt to ban the distribution of leaflets on car windshields within city limits.
The dispute stems from a June 2007 incident in which Steve Klein and nine other individuals were confronted by sheriff’s deputies while distributing literature about immigration policy on car windshields. The deputies advised Mr. Klein that he was violating the city’s antilittering ordinance.

These are mainly high school students he’s talking about.
The following is quoted (for educational purposes) from CCU’s website, where Klein advises how to turn a Day of Silence into Ditch Day “by holding back your property, your children, from the homofascists using the public schools to search for, locate and molest your children or recruit them to that death style….”

Part of my diary posted last night. The rage in Egypt started on September 5 after filmmaker promoted his film Muhammad on Facebook. Social media has benefited the Arab uprising, the mobs cannot always be controlled. The Pentagon has dispatched two Marine Corps anti-terrorism security teams to Libya, I trust this will not be a repeat of Mogadishu, Somalia?
I had not looked at it closely, but from what I read it’s the Jihad Watch crowd of Pipers, Spencer, Geller, Glick and Wilders. Funding the Clash of Civilizations through pro-Israel think tanks … crazed idiots. There was also reference to the Middle-East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).
In today’s parliamentary election, the rising star Geert Wilders lost nearly half his party’s seats in parliament. He drops from 24 back to 13 seats in the exit polls. The old coalition will not return as there was a strategic vote split between right and left. On the right the Liberal Conservatives of Prime Minister Rutte and the opposition Labor Party of new leader Samson vie for 40 seats each out of a total of 150 seats. These two parties will form a new coalition as its the only viable option for a majority. The party with the most seats and votes will take the initiative and its leader will be the new PM.

Other than claiming to have arranged a screening for the movie at an unidentified theater in LA last year, Klein has offered nothing else for his claim to having been a consultant for the mysterious producer/director (Sam Bacile) that seems not to have left any tracks anywhere.
Bacile could be a petty scammer that bilked gullible racists. For something more complex and sinister, wouldn’t expect to see people like Klein being used.
Casting Call for Desert Warrior. Almost too funny to be believed:
Director Alan Roberts. (Guess Alan Smithee would have been too obvious.)
(Also note Sam Becile >> imbecile.)
Another casting call. It’s Sam Bassiel in this one.
One more call that seems to have dropped the historical part:
Could be another clue:
desertwarrior@jimmyisrael.com
jimmyisrael website claims to be a real estate financier and investors. Consistent with how “Sam Bacile” represented himself.
“Jimmy Israel” was pitching Nouveau Riche education to real estate investing. Nouveau Riche University was a scam set up a Jim Piccolo and was busted by AZ Corp Commission last year. Other individuals and entities involved:
James Piccolo of Scottsdale
Craig Cottrell of Tempe
Michael Roberts of Scottsdale
Charlevoix Homes, LLC
Five Star Capital Markets, LLC
and their affiliated companies
From his linkedin page
Also fiercely defended Piccolo and his Nouveau Riche University from which Jimmy claimed to have graduated from although that isn’t included on his linkedin page.
From your info “Desert Warriors” the film director is Alan Roberts from DeVere Films Inc. in Sarasota, FL. He has also co-owned Robert Realty Inc. with his partner Laura Roberts.
Haven’t surveyed the latest news reports on this issue, but doesn’t seem as if the “Desert Warriors” links are being followed up on as they all focus on the Nakoula dude. Those casting calls for this POS all reference a Mr. George as a or the lead character and that’s exactly what the actors report. “Sam Bacile” is listed on those casting calls as well.
Thanks for checking out that Alan Roberts. Will have a look now.
Nakoula Basseley Nakoula. Looks like a match. Plus there’s this:
Guess Obama’s FBI/Homeland Security has been too busy busting and shutting down OWS to bother with the Islamaphobes that were instrumental in the deaths of four US embassy employees.
Maybe so, but I’ve got a funny feeling that won’t be the case from here on.
Panglozz at Daily Kos argues that it was Joseph Nassralla Abdelmassih, owner of Media for Christ and good buddies with Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer, and David Pipes.
Nakoula just a fall guy. Keyman: Joseph Nassralla+
