Video Footage Of Suspected Israel Bus Suicide Bomber Who Is Caucasian And Had Fake Michigan License
The smoke from the exploded bus carrying Israeli tourists was still billowing and yet Israeli PM Netanyahu had already declared that "Iran is responsible for the terror attack in Bulgaria, we will have a strong response against Iranian terror." Perhaps that statement was a little premature: as footage released by Bulgarian police indicates, the suspected suicide bomber is Caucasian, and was in possession of a Michigan driver's license, supposedly a fake one, but why anyone in Bulgaria would be carrying a fake Michigan ID is just a little confusing.
A top Bulgarian official said it was a "mistake" to lay the responsibility of a terror attack on an Israeli tourist bus on any specific countries or organizations, on Thursday, as security camera footage revealed the person authorities suspected of perpetrating the suicide attack.
Earlier Thursday, Israeli and Bulgarian stated that the Wednesday attack on the bus in the coastal city of Burgas, killing seven and wounding dozens, was a suicide bombing.
The Bulgarian police said that footage from airport security cameras captured the suspect roaming the airport for at least one hour, the Bulgarian news agency Novinite reported. According to the report he was a long-haired Caucasian in sportswear.
The body suspected as belonging to the terrorist had a U.S. driver's license issued in Michigan – apparently fake.
Following the attack on Wednesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Iran is responsible for the terror attack, saying that all the evidence in Israel's possession points to Iran as the responsible party.
"In the past months we saw Iranian attempts to attack Israelis in Thailand, India, Kenya, and Cyprus," Netanyahu said. "Exactly 18 years after the attack on a Jewish community center in Argentina, the Iranian terror continues to hurt innocent people."
"This is an Iranian terror offensive that is spreading throughout the world," he said, warning that Israel will issue a "strong response against Iranian terror."
However, speaking on Thursday, Bulgarian Foreign Minister Nikolay Mladenov said that he thought "it is wrong and a mistake to point fingers at this stage of the investigation at any country or organization."
"We are only in the beginning of the investigation and it is wrong to jump to conclusions," he added, saying that Bulgaria had "excellent cooperation with the Israeli security forces in matters pertaining to the investigation."
And this is the clip that was released showing the alleged bomber:

"It's Iran's fault" is the Rothschild Zionist Israel's version of "It's Bush's fault."
When the Zionists are run out of Israel, we will then have world peace.
We need to run them off the planet. Run them out of Israel and they will set up a colony elsewhere to terrorize the world. Setting off bombs and blaming someone else is their favorite trick. That's how Israel was created. Everytime they wanted to take more land, they'd lob some missiles into Israel or blow up one of their own buses. That would create the "reason" for taking more land. They've done it so often, you'd think people would catch on. They helped blow up the World Trade Center Building with friends in the CIA and MI6 so as to recreate their Khazar empire.
Come on....
Bulgaria, Detroit, they're both shitholes.
You'd a thunk he'd a at least tried to come from somewhere classy like France is Uganda or something.
Is that Garth?
Carrot Top.
Bulgaria is absolutely not a shithole at all. People there are shocked and horrified by this. I wince to think what additional police state measures the Govts will take there as a result. The US shadow military presence here is huge.

Looks awfully relaxed for a guy about to blow himself up. Frankly he appears more likely to fire up a bong than blow up a bus.
Makes you wonder if the guy knew what he was carrying in his backpack.
That was my first thought too...someone check that his kids weren't kidnapped or something...very strange and makes you think the CIA, Israeli intelligence and 3 other groups manufactured something here, anyway you look at it, Israel, Syria and Iran is getting dicey with Egypt pretty messy on the other side and now Saudi Arabia and Turkey probably providing arms to rebels...
This obviously calls for an immediate ramping up of both TSA personnel and aggressiveness/arbitrariness of TSA groping aggressiveness, as well as new equipment, including Fukishima backscatter body scan machines.
Clearly.
Thank God we have bold leaders who can make these difficult choices for us and for our protection.
He was the Persian Carrot-Top. A huge loss for Farsi comedy.
Well there goes the effectiveness of racial profiling.
It wasn't me. I'm not that tall, and haven't been to Eastern Europe to play with explosives in almost 10 years....
The news story says "Bulgarian authorities believe that the suspect was carrying the bomb in a backpack, which he placed in the luggage compartment underneath the bus, Tsvetanov said. The bus was scheduled to carry about 47 passengers to a resort."
The guy sets the timer, puts the bag in the luggage compartment, goes the bathroom, pulls the wig, changes clothes, walks away...whats to be nervous about?
For those upset that Israel is even being pointed at, don't forget the assassination in Dubai. It's too early to point fingers anywhere but that didn't seem to prevent Israel from accusing Iran within minutes of the bombing.
http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1970586,00.html
Lots of guys with backpacks walking around that terminal.
Think about what the "bomber" did with his backpack. When have you ever gone on any mode of transport and witnessed anyone giving up their backpack? It never goes into the cargo area, it always stays with the backpack owner. Sometimes it goes in the above storage area on a plane but never into the main cargo area.
The article said that the bomber put the backpack under the bus in the luggage compartment. Why would anyone do this? This is not normal activity.
That one action should have been a big red flag. If the bomber threw his golf clubs under the bus well sure but his backpack come on now.
This is not rocket science.
WOW.
The luggage compartment is located in the bottom portion of the bus, not actually under the bus. It is like a trunk. There's a hatch the driver opens, and then you hand your bag to him and he loads the luggage so it all fits.
The seats are located above the luggage compartment. Anyone taking the bus to go from one city to another knows this.
lolwut? Using the backpack storage compartment for its intended use is anormal activity? You have no idea what you're talking about. I have been travelling for 2 years and anywhere from 75-90% of people will put their backpack there.
Next you'll be telling us, "You're human, that makes you suspect of being a terrorist. Please proceed to the groping line!"
And who can prove the bomb was even IN the backpack? For all we know, it could have been pre-attached to the bottom of the bus!
Your hard earned Homeland Security dollars at work,friggin accident they were caught.
http://cnsnews.com/news/article/tsa-let-25-illegal-aliens-attend-flight-school-owned-illegal-alien
Explosion analysis is quite good. Preliminary examination will show if metal in the bottom of the cargo compartment was deflected up or down.
@Buckaroo
All of this is easy to explain. First, all of the fake Arizona licenses were out of stock, so that's why he had to go with the Michigan one. Second, whenever Netanyahu's eggs are underdone he screams at the top of his lungs, "Bastard Iranians did it to me again!!! Ok, call the Jews in America to cowardly to live in Israel and hit them up for money, tell them 'mini-me' Ahmedinejad has claimed the Palestine portion of my sunnyside eggs again and I need money so our immature IDF soldiers can kill their farm sheep and shoot bullets at children's feet asking for water."
An APB on anyone wearing garish tourist outfits. "We expect a lot of arrests", he said.
So he was/is either Celtic or Khazarian. My money's on the latter.
Bulgaria...not all that far from the original Khazarian homeland. Just a quick trip west across the Black Sea.
Michigan drivers license optional...
so what was his 'fake' Michigan name? if it's fake why keep the name secret?
Rumors circulating that the name on the fake Michigan ID card was "Barry Soetoro." Anyone know who this Barry guy is?
No. Nobody does.
a muslim convert from a detroit prison?
would make sense.

Hardly any white guys left in Detroit. Port Huron is far more likely.
Probably UAW as well.
Part of the union's expansive retirement options. Then again, a thug - whether union or terrorist - is a thug.
This guy is not the bomber. There are a list of characteristics used to distinguish suicide bombers before the fact and he doesn't exhibit any of the few that can be seen at this distance. He isn't chanting to Allah, walking like a robot or such. Look at him and ask yourself does he look like someone who knows he is going to die in a few minutes, blown to shreds? My BS alarm is screaming loud on this bus bombing incident. The only way this guy blew up the bus is if he didn't know what was in the backpack. We're being lied to and they know they're lying, grab your wallet.

You've seen 10 sec of low res video. This obviously makes you an expert I see.
True, we always see an edited version of such videos, never the full raw footage.
It's neuroscience not rocket science. Every human being is an expert if we can get past the strong conditioning to believe what we are told. If you ask a bunch of people at a department store who the 'creepy guy' is they'll all point to the same guy. They won't know if he's a pedophile, a shoplifter or the undercover security guy but they will know he's 'off'. Our brains process all this info subconciously and we know things even when we can't say why. I can recognize my daughter from across the mall by seeing her walk for just a second although I can't tell you what is unique about her walk. I just see it. Take away the backpack and there is nothing in this viodeo that say 'bomber'. He looks like someone trying to find his aunt Sophie, not someone with 50 kilos of C4 strapped to his back. You'd have to be a trained actor to suppress all the stress signals from knowing you were minutes away from death and it's hard to hire an actor for this gig.
There is no way you can guess whether that guy is the bomber or not. However you are right about the stress being nearly impossible to supress - that is, if it actually IS there.
I mean, tell that to a buddhist monk (not a fakir, mind you, a monk) who in a pure state of consciousness, with his awareness sharper and clearer than you can probably even conceive, drenches himself in gasoline and sets himself on fire, mindfully watching and feeling himself burn while remaining more peaceful than you could ever be even if you went to a monthlong massotherapy session in a nordic spa.
Not everyone functions following the lines of your limited internal psychological model. Yes, your brain processes the info subconsciously as you say, but only according to your own model or to a second-guessed alternative model which you have observed at times either in yourself or in others. Obviously your brain will fail to correctly interpret the behaviour of somebody acting according to an unknown model - and will not even be aware of it. You say you just "see it" which might be true most of the time when operating within the confines of a well-known, local cultural referential, but it does not apply to everybody and even less when you're looking to somebody whose culture and background is unknown.
Moreover, fear of death is a strongly biased psychological factor for you to base your analysis on, since it is predominently a feature of occidental thought. Many people, when convinced that something is the right and necessary thing to do, will face it with composure - maybe with regret or wistfulness, but not with the stress that you think the person would be subjected to only because the only thing YOU would think about in such a situation is "shit i'm gonna die i'm gonna die shit piss fuck why am i doing this shit i'm gonna die".
Now then if the guy was putting his backpack in the luggage compartment he might not even have planned to die and then also consider he might think it was right and necessary action. Stress is internal tension, which will not be present if the individual is sufficiently convinced of the necessity of something.
Finally, also remember that we have about 8 seconds of video, and that the guy appears to be pacing.
By his gait I would guess his "bomb" was made out of some pretty lightweight materials: sunscreen, changes of underwear, and those spicy Funyuns.
Those Michigan bombers are cagey. Clearly this dude has hella good makeup and a wig on. Note the light colored base on the legs. He is cool, calm, and collected. Clearly a wolverine fan. Fuck em, that's why we hate em. Go buckeyes.
Why do you believe the word "suicide"?
He's calm because it's his 9-to-5 job of many years.
How does someone get hold of explosives with a Micigan DL in Bulgaria . Mr joe sixpack then has to know how to mix nitrogen and diesel and have a primer cap. OR he used militery grade, in which case this was not a "lone wolf", so then the FBI must be involved.
You don't make a primer by mixing nitrogen and diesel. You're confusing ammonium nitrate with nitrogen. Which would result in anfo after mixing with diesel. Anfo however is not a primer but a secondary. A crap secondary.
For the record, I had nothing to do with this.
These are the new witch trials. If you deny it, your'e guilty.
That might make sense if it weren't the fact that they were run out of Israel and nothing changed.
Come on, post a reply. not just down arrow. Back it up with something. Personally, I do think it is a false flag so I'm a nut job conspiracy person now. But back up your down arrow coward.

Even that's not necessarily a fact. They might not have been run out of Israel, and the Palestinians could possibly be the descendents of the original Judaic population:

You anti-semitic types really don't understand Islam at all do you? This will never be over until Islam either changes it's ways (good luck with re-writing the Quran) or it is destroyed. They will not be satisfied with anything less than Sharia everywhere.
You clearly don't understand what Zionism is.
You clearly don't understand what Zionism is.
It's another word for Nationalism,look it up.
Indeed. A synonym of Zionism that would add no new meaning except a greater precision to the description would be National Zionism. Hmmm....
Xenophobia is much more accurate.
But I'd take that a step further. Zionists are xenophobes that feel a divine right to a piece of land and will stop at nothing, NOTHING (false flag terror attacks, state sponsored provocation, back room deals with the mighty USSR, etc) to get it.
We have admissions ON RECORD that Mossad agents were responsible for the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists. ON RECORD admissions that Mossad agents routinely pose as CIA in order to recruit patsy terrorists.
If the shoe was on the other foot and Iran was blowing up Israeli scientists, the US would have already launched a war.
Hence my National Zionism comment above. Zionism, which is the political ideology of Israel as a Jewish nation (as defined in their declaration of independence), is the same as nazism. It is nationalism tinged with the belief in a master race, "The Chosen People of God" which is a fundamental tenet of Jewishness.
Hence the military fascism and disregard for human life which Israel features; the ideology imbues the nation with supraindividual authority as it becomes the embodiment of the Master Race concept; it then becomes its duty to protect that Master Race, be it at the cost of Goyim (who are not counted as humans) or with the sacrifice of jewish individuals (who can not measure up on the balance compared to the generalization of the Master Race itself).
Ignorance comes in many flavors I see.
“Video Footage Of Suspected Israel Bus Suicide Bomber Who Is Caucasian”
The Israeli tourists in the bus were Ethiopian refugees that would have been expelled from Israel for being black anyway.
http://www.news8000.com/news/Minister-Suicide-bomber-struck-Bulgarian-bus/-/326/15601208/-/6c12t6z/-/index.html
Refugees going on vacation to Bulgaria? Interesting theory..
Ok Max let me explain it.
The Ethiopian Jews who originally were refugees ……….
Hitting 2 birds with 1 stone, or 5, getting rid of un-wanted 'black-jews', spoiling friendly relations among Iran-Bulgaria, getting a Caucasian to do the job, getting a pretext for retaliation and escalation, you have to admit the jews are gooood (in a wicked twisted sick kind of way) good
hey, we knew OBL had done in the WTC before the buildings fell and dusted off the old saddam hussein propaganda playbook before sundown.
If that article made any mention of Ethiopian refugees, it doesn't now.
its gone!
Oh look, its a ginger kid......'Iranian'.
Recessive genes.
In other news: Passport of suspected WTC terrorist, discovered among smoldering ashes of "Israeli" Tour Bus.
Most people don't know that gingerism is very prevalent in a certain inbred population besides the Scots. This actually supports their involvement with WTC. Nothing good is going to come from this.

Redheaded Warrior JewsIn my little hometown in Michigan we had a red headed jewish family. The Farkels.
Yes it's a good thing that suicide bombers have the common courtesy to carry indestructible passports and ID cards!
That kid is totally wearing a wig.
Your ignorant hate is showing, BTW.
I think that's Silverstein's son!!
Damn it CIA, if you are going to do a red flag, find a guy with at least the right skin color...
OK SS who did more to distroy the USA than bush/cheney?
Smart false flag, by Israel and the CIA. The get a guy who looks like a "homegrown" terrorist from Dearborn.
Yep, Dearborn Mi is a muslim haven
Send in the Vatican's mercanary force from DC to Dearborn. Drone attacks, bombings, full-scale troops. Time to bring freedom's fist up the ass of those who threaten the US citizen's freedoms......in Israel. /s
The bomber is obviously distraught that the Detroit Tigers have underachieved this year.
Yet again, if I had to watch that bullpen everynight, I'd probably bomb something, too.
don't forget the local neo-nazis (no, I'm not referring to the US government)...
Is all this just the making of a Homeland Security dream-world ?
hey they found his drivers license after he exploded.
Kind of reminds me of the mint passport, found in the rubble of 911.
Do they think we,re stupid?
and why would any1 bother to have a "fake" driverse licence while on a suicide mission, it's not like it's hard to get a real 1 anyway?
Kinda like the fake passports the Mossad agents used to assasinate the Leader of Hamas in Dubai ?
It's not like you can buy fake papers at your local grocery store, of the quality that you can fool border guards with it.
The calmness of the guy also smells of the London bombings where the 'suicide bombers' where most likely not aware they carried (real)bombs with them
The fake drivers license is probably from his days of being under 21. He needed it to get into the bars.
You only carry a fake driver's license if you think you're going to live through it...
exactly, I mean how did this story unfold?
The guy waits 1h+ for his bus calmly walking around the terminal 'sightseeing', he puts his bag in the trunk of the bus, than proceeds to board the bus(wtf), than detonates the bomb while sitting ontop(huh), why doesn't he use a timer or remote detonation, if he can detonate the bomb from inside the bus when his bag is in the trunk he CAN detonate it remotely so WHY? why the self sacrifice? makes absolutely no sense
it only makes sense if
A) he does not know about the bomb
B) he's transporting it(know's about it) but somebody else detonates it remotely getting rid of him(the witness)
C) he's dumb as F**K
D) Muslim
Yes.
A repost from yesterday:
Horseshit
Ya' know, this is just like finding the papers of the hijackers from the Burld Frayed Centre. Nothin' else made it through the day... except these guy(s) IDs.
Let me be the first to call horseshit
So it was the bombardier's very own lonesome papers they found. Not somebody else's?
And the reporting, just as lickety split fast as that plane that flew into the office building in Hawston Texas.
Like the very fucking moment.
Horseshit.
It'll be used as the excuse for the draconian paperwork the DHS is about to require in all states to get a drivers license or to renew one. This crap has already been implemented in GA, with average times for license renewal running 6 1/2 hours.
There is a new Draconian law in Texas, too. All parents of new driver permit applicants must have two forms of proof of residence, and a Texas driver's license is not acceptable. You have to wait in a two hour line to get a number to wait in another two hour line to be told of this requirement, which is not in the online or printed list of requirements.
Thank you, and come again!
Why do some people hate the government?
Yep. I just discovered that you have to send in to Austin a FORM and $20 so they can send you the regulation packet! For gosh sakes....have they ever heard of downloadable, printable files? Oh, wait...then they couldn't collect the $20!
Criminals, all...
Makes ya wanna get a fake Michigan DL instead!
"Smart false flag, by Israel and the CIA. The get a guy who looks like a "homegrown" terrorist from Dearborn. "
Yes! Juggalo Terror.
This video shows less than nothing.
I wanna see him before *and* after.
Lets see the charred MI drivers licence...
No more "evidence" will be forthcoming on this. Just the way "they" like it.

It will be very interesting to see how this one plays out...who, how, and why. That is, if we ever learn at all. A year from now no one will remember the event. Lots of death going on these days.
where is a passport? who cares if the guy has a fake michagan dl. This must be a plot by CIA against white American men. Round um all up!!!!! FEMA camps her they come. OPh yeah, take them guns too!
No doubt this white man was upset about the recent Supreme Court decision on the Affordable Health Care Act cause Mayor Bloomberg says so.

Someone hacked the CNN video clip of the suspect--it plays a Black Dynomite cartoon clip instead. :-).
The Likudniks love it when Israelis die by terror. ON that they can justify their own.
Don't forget the Chabad Lubavitchers!
And in retaliation Netanyahu calls for immediate air strikes against the separatist State of Michigan.
good...they can start with the terrrorist auto union shops at GM.
Wow.
Slipping a bomb into someone's luggage. How very Mossad of the Iranians.
Thats what I think too. Does'nt look like a guy whos on a mission to die.
So what does a guy on a suicide mission look like?
Worried. Tense. Not super relaxed and wandering around taking in the scenery.
Maybe not.
A true religous zealot would be at peace pondering

But anyhow ,this is amateur hour bullshit.

There is no "72 virgins reward" mentioned in Quran. It is as made up as AL CIAda.
Should have bought a UAW Union made bus bitchez
Better yet, a Canadian bus like the one Obama uses while on campaign trips. It's probably bomb-proof, which would have come in handy.
You just know that there'll be another false flag at the olympics; note the recent hand wringing over the security situation.
I could see it used not only as "proof" that Western Society is under attack by "the terrorists" and that severe control of civil society is required to save it, but also that it is necessary to mobilize the military to prosecute the war in the "Homeland." Failure of private security in London would make this case easy.
Meanwhile, the private security industry would have a jackpot of new public revenue in support of the new effort. Certainly if scripted psychopathically well, the incident would justify a new $1T investment to save our way of life.

"We need to take your freedoms to protect them. Don't worry, we'll keep them someplace where they're safe." Give me liberty or give me a nice, comfy berth in a FEMA camp...
Where it will get interesting is the "Liberty" crowd sending the rest of us, aka, commies, statists, useless eaters and "unpatriotic" muslim sympathizers, to those very fema camps. As long as they're used against the "right" people . . .
OWS showed us alot about the real commitment to liberty that many of its loudest self-proclaimed champions actually possess.
When there are too many to beat and jail, fema camps will be the perfect solution. Divide and conquer at its best.
That would be the Tea Party, wholly owned by the Koch brothers. Oh well....at least we will have tea to drink and little American flags to wave in the FEMA camps.
And THANK GOD they have the guillotines ready for those anti-Semites who won't follow the Noahide Laws!
The real commitment to Liberty is ongoing in the homes and families that OWS types would laugh at. OWS = Civilian Security Force in training and just waiting for the cute uniforms and the identities of the undereducated food and ammo hoarders. OWS = blunt point of the spear.
We'll know soon enough, I'm afraid. Only one of the two groups have suffered police abuse nationwide so far, with the other, when not celebrating, silent at best.
Sometimes it's wise to tune out the music, delightful as it might be, and watch what people actually do, rather than getting caught up in what is coming out of their mouths.
Even within our own groups. Especially in our own groups.
The group is all for US citizens.
The hive is all for Chinese citizenism citizens.
I could see G4S (big Israeli connections) playing the part of having been found lacking, thus giving the excuse to bring in more military, which would be much better for a martial law lockdown "if" something were to happen.
apberusdisvet,
If that happens mate, I know of at least 60 folk who have been reading the same jazz who just may well do something about it.
The pig men pull a stunt like like that and mark my words, you will see me and few others on the teevee. I wont and cannot sit back and see my own kin slaughtered. If they get me? There will be others. For you watchers, you better decide whos side you are on, we will take any and all action if you try this, this is not a game, this is the real deal.

So you're saying we need to invade Iran?
Leave it to Seth M. to put the absurdity and nonsense in a 20 second cartoon to dispel the current myth.
be slow to judge
You're right.
I took an extra breath and tried to calm down just before the bomb went off.
There is a trend here....
Afghanistan did not have 9/11 attackers...but they got attacked.
Saddam did not have WMD, but he got attacked.
Iran did not bomb Israelis, and they will get attacked.
See the trend here....If you do NOT do anything, you still get attacked....so in order NOT to get attacked, one has to do something....
Now, THAT is an oxymoron.
Pakistan HAD Osama and the WMDs, you negotiate with them.
I still contend that Osama was a paid actor.
Osama has been long dead. They were after one of his kids or family member as trophy, but could'nt even get that.
Pakistan was useful for US for NATO supplies and attack lines into Afghanistan post 9/11, plus useful against India. Then OBL was caught and Pakistan was left hung to dry until the India pressure, post India's 26/11 died a natural death. Now Pakistan is again useful since US lives cannot be lost so it has been made a 'paid' ally, once more, and NATO supply lines re opened. Pakistan pays a price for being an ally as well as for not being an ally. It's better to be an ally and lose less Pakistani lives than not being an ally and lose more. Now, that's a paradox as well as an oxymoron! Lol.
Not to split hairs, but it's more of a paradox than an oxymoron.
But isn't it also ironic, in an Alanis Morissette kind of way?
Also, Middle Class did not cause the financial crisis and they've been attacked
