Now they all disappeared? Will the FBI did to find the truth ?
He only registered as a Republican in March of 2016. Was a DEMOCRAT from 1992 till then.
Here are screen shots from his now scrubbed facebook page!
IT WAS A BADLY PLANNED OUT DEMOCRAT FALSE FLAG!
While
the mainstream media quickly labels Cesar Sayoc as a bona fide,
Trump-loving, conservative Republican, social media and internet
investigation shows the alleged, “MAGA Bomber” listed as a registered
Democrat since 1980, (only changing to Republican in 2016,) and reveals
multiple social media posts hating Republicans and the GOP, bashing
George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, posting photos of Bush and Cheney as
“war criminals,” and praising Code Pink, “liberal women,” as “the
beautiful women of the world.” And that’s only the beginning. The arrest of 56-year old, Cesar Altieri Sayoc of Aventura, Florida,
also known as Cesar Sayoc, or Cesar Altieri Randazzo, as he is known on
facebook, on allegations he is responsible for the flurry of fake bombs
sent to Democrat leaders just days before the 2018 midterm election,
brought immediate identification of Sayoc as a diehard Trump supporter
driving a pristine, unvandalized (despite multiple alleged trips through
vehemently anti-Trump metropolitan areas, more on that later) “Trump
Van” wrapped and plastered with Trump paraphernalia in what appears an
over the top Trump tribute befitting a circus routine. Or, very likely,
someone trying way too hard to appear a Donald Trump supporter.
According to a sweep of personal data and internet background
information, Sayoc, of Aventura, Florida, is a former professional
soccer player, former male dancer, male review coordinator, casino
entertainment marketing and events promoter, and longtime tribal casino
employee who claims to have worked at multiple Florida locations, most
recently as an events promoter and marketing specialist with the
Seminole Hard Rock Casino in Florida, a company owned by the Seminole
Tribe and run by Seminole sovereign nation, traditionally, massively and
publicly anti-Trump and staunchly Democrat in both their leadership and
lucrative Democrat financial support, along with the majority of their
enrollment.
Contrary to initial reporting by major outlets, Cesar Altieri Sayoc
is of Philippine derivation and is not of Native American heritage,
either of Seminole Nation, which quickly and publicly disavowed any
tribal affiliation, or of any other Native American tribe. In online
biographies, Sayoc can be found describing his own love of animal
medicine and his academic efforts to became a veterinarian, which
apparently fell short. He writes glowingly of his Filipino grandfather,
Baltazar Zook Sayoc, a renowned surgeon whom Cesar says was instrumental
in founding a number of Philippine hospitals, and of his mother,
Madeline Sayoc, whom he claims as “first president of the pharmacy
cosmetic association.”
While a spokesman for the Seminole Tribe issued a public statement
denying Cesar Altieri Sayoc ever worked for the tribe or for was an
employee for the casino, multiple pictures on his social media accounts
show him at the Hard Rock Casino, posing with employees, entertainment
acts and friends. The Seminole Nation purchased the Seminole Hard Rock Casino on December 7, 2006. Members of the Seminole tribal leadership have served as high level
and lucratively pocketed Democrat donors and political activists. This
is a developing story, with moving pieces that are only beginning to
coalesce.
Add caption
It should be noted that the Seminole purchase of the Hard Rock Casino
deepened native tribes already long-running competition in the
lucrative casino industry competing directly against Donald Trump Casino
properties up and down the East Coast, in locations from Florida, New
Jersey and Connecticut. Florida is the third largest Indian gaming state
in the nation. It has seven Indian casinos. Six are owned and operated
by the Seminole Tribe of Florida, which owns and runs Seminole Hard Rock
Casino where Sayoc claims that he worked. On the surface, Cesar Altieri Sayoc (Randazzo’s) facebook profile,
deleted and scrubbed at 11:25 am MDT Friday but captured and kept open
by yours truly and other investigators, reads like a year-long fever
infatuation with Trump mania, showing him at multiple Trump rallies,
always in an ubiquitous red MAGA hat and posing for blurry lensed photos
at Trump rallies in multiple states.
Closer inspection however finds inexplicable and conflicting nuances
in Sayoc’s posts that defy logic and common sense. For example,
multiple posts from the Trump 2016 campaign trail seem to have garnered
virtually no attention or acclaim from Sayoc’s sprawling friends list.
One post from October 13, 2016 shows selfie video of Cesar Altieri Sayoc
at a Donald Trump rally somewhere during the campaign, again, with very
blurry lens. Despite being posted for two years, and with a current
friends list of 2,775 people, that momentous video #MAGA moment with a
supposedly rabid Trump fan at an expectedly raucous Trump rally had
tallied only a single “like” by any of Sayoc’s friends list. One like, in two years.
Given the contagious enthusiasm of truly Trumpian folks and their
close knit networking of other #MAGA friends, true fans will tell you
that Trump rally clips are like catnip to the #MAGA crowd that are
shared and liked and enjoyed vicariously by anyone truly friendly to the
Trump cause. A single like in two minutes, two hours or two weeks for a
live rally video clip in your sporty red MAGA hat would be a
disappointment. One like in two years with your best Trump buddies
chiming in? Not bloody likely or plausible. Unless of course, you’re
posting to a fake facebook profile for a fake pipe bomb political
operation.
Another post features a meme, apparently evidencing Cesar Altieri
Sayoc’s anger at Hillary Clinton’s famously documented cheating, spying,
and delegate disenfranchising of Democrat frontrunner Bernie Sanders
in the 2016 Democrat Presidential Primary (photo below,) while his
Twitter account (pictured below) indicates his following of only 32
public figures, all of them Democrat heavies like Bill and Hillary
Clinton, Bernie Sanders and profanely vitriolic Leftist comic and
writer, Lena Dunham.
On one photo, (above) Sayoc’s caption repeatedly references and praises “PRESIDENT” Donald Trump in July of 2016, FIVE
MONTHS prior to Trump’s entirely unlikely election victory, at a time
when no one but a few of us were willing to publicly predict Trump’s
victory, much less refer to him as President. The same post cluster of
photos also features a picture from what appears a feminist rally,
alongside gushing support for Trump by Sayoc and his male review
buddies. Far more revealingly, scrolling past 2016 to 2015 reveals Cesar
Altieri Sayoc (Randazzo) as a hater of former President George W. Bush
and Vice President Dick Cheney, evidenced by photos of Bush with blood
on his hands and photos of Bush and Cheney portrayed as Nazi war
criminals in best keeping with far leftist hate groups widely circulated
portrayal of the Bush administration as war criminals. Are these the
photos an average rabid, diehard, dyed in the #MAGA-wool, Trump
supporter would sport on their page in 2015? Highly unlikely.
Elsewhere on the internet, just seconds after Cesar Altieri Sayoc’s
apprehension, his public listing identified him as a Democrat. (Below)
Moments later, the listing was updated by someone, changing his listing
from Democrat, to “Republican.” While it’s been noted that MyLife is a
publicly edited page, I captured his Democrat party affiliation within
seconds of the announcement of his apprehension and then watched in
amazement as his party affiliation changed from Democrat to Republican
before my very eyes, capturing screenshots as quickly as I could to
document the changes.
