Video: White House censors French President saying “Islamist terrorism”

Apr 1, 2016 2:03 pm By Robert Spencer

The Obama Administration is adopting the practices of Orwell’s Ministry of Truth. Inconvenient facts are consigned to the memory hole. We have always been at war with Eurasia. Islam is a religion of peace. No one would even dare suggest otherwise, even indirectly. What? The French President referred to “Islamist terrorism”? No, he didn’t. Not anymore.

“VIDEO: WH Censors French President Saying ‘ISLAMIST Terrorism,’” by Craig Bannister, MRCTV, April 1, 2016:

The White House website has censored a video of French Pres. Francois Hollande saying that “Islamist terrorism” is at the “roots of terrorism.”

The White House briefly pulled video of a press event on terrorism with Pres. Obama, and when it reappeared on the WhiteHouse.gov website and YouTube, the audio of Hollande’s translator goes silent, beginning with the words “Islamist terrorism,” then begins again at the end of his sentence.

Even the audio of Hollande saying the words “Islamist terrorism” in French have, apparently, been edited from the video.

According to the official White House transcript of Hollande’s remarks, Hollande refers to “Islamist terrorism.” The audio of the bold text in brackets is missing from the video – the only point in the video were the audio is absent:

“We are also making sure that between Europe and the United States there can be a very high level coordination.

“But we’re also well aware that the roots of terrorism, [Islamist terrorism, is in Syria and in Iraq.  We therefore have to act both in Syria and in Iraq, and this is what we’re doing within the framework of the coalition.]  And we note that Daesh is losing ground thanks to the strikes we’ve been able to launch with the coalition.”…

      Richie, sad as it may be, I don’t think the White House will have to spin this . . . it has not been widely reported. In fact, I would have known nothing of this censorship had Robert not posted the video and accompanying article. As a result, I have forwarded this link to everyone I know. Maybe each of us can do our small part by enlightening others. Also, perhaps bringing this to the attention of our Congressmen and the presidential candidates might also be a good initiative . . .

    You can see how stiff and forward Mr. Obama sits, staring straight into the averted face of the French president. Mr. Obama’s index finger is over his mouth, alert for any negative speech about islam. The French president switches from the adjective “Islamist” to a lesser understood and indirect Islamic reference describing terrorism and the u.s. president clearly relaxes as he watches the cowering leader back away from naming the enemy.

      Your analysis is fascinating, especially the ‘finger over mouth’ gesture (signaling ‘speak no evil’?) Another interpretation is Obama is signaling that he thinks Hollande lacks credibility.

      Superb post!

        Spot-on!
        The leaning forward, the glowering stare. As if trying to mind-control what Hollande says and how he says it, wants to put that finger over HIS mouth.
        One can almost hear the voice in BO’s head saying, “watch what you say, Frank…”

        Oh yes, the French will remain fooled by your choice of words. Ha!

          Indeed, plus the tension is his entire body, the same in his wife. Have you ever seen dogs being alert, and ready to strike anyone at an instant with the utmost viciousness, who could pose a risk to their owners?

          Show that video to dog owners for analysis.

          I suspected him, for a long time to be a Muslim – now, *no doubt whatsoever!*
          Perhaps next time he meets the king of SA, he’ll get a pad on the head and the king will say: “Good boy.”

    Of course Hussein is on the Muslim side. That’s been apparent since the get-go. Obama’s 2009 Cairo speech, filled with egregious lies about Islam – such as that it’s “tolerant.” Islam is as tolerant of others as crocodiles are of wildebeest.

    • Shane says

      Apr 1, 2016 at 4:02 pm

      The Left is on the side of the Islamists and so are some on the right. John McCain wants to bring in more Muslim invaders from Europe! We have to fire these Republicans who support bringing in massive numbers of Muslims into the USA!

    Obama is not simply a Muslim, he is an Imam who preaches Islam inside and outside – The White House. He goes out of his way to promote Islam and Muslims. He has repeatedly done that. The people work for him has no self-respect as Americans.

    My theory is the reason leftists (including atheists on the left); turn a blind eye to the homicidal actions of Muslims is because of a shared hatred of Jews, Christians and the west in general. The problem is the left believes their own propaganda, and see clueless Muslims would kill them as easily as killing those on the right.

    • linnte says

      Apr 1, 2016 at 4:15 pm

      I agree with the Jew hatred idea. The Left wants to see Palestine overcome Israel. I know because I used to also! Horrible isn’t it? Damn!

        The Misinformation spread as facts is what is horrible…being deceived by it is what it is does.

        Right or wrong what ever is in the Now is what gets promoted by the media, for the most part, they are just parroting the popular buzz; causing confusion and skepticism.

        There has never been a great deal of professional journalism…people are starved for it,
        yet there is no major market for it…what a dichotomy.

        “Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up
        and hurry off as if nothing has happened.” Winston Churchill Quote

      I agree, Richie. Muslims and leftists share several common enemies, Christians, Jews, and the Judeo-Christian values upon which Western nations were founded, as you mentioned. Republicans, patriots, and conservatives also make the shared enemy list. I once heard an interview with Pamela Geller where she explained that the left loves Islam because leftists hate freedom and adore totalitarian systems (and how much more totalitarian can you get than Islam?). I thought that she made a good point.

    My problem is not the America Hating Obama but those ignorant liberal enablers of Obama and Islam. How can a nation be so blind to an enemy, in this case Islam, with all the acts of terror, declaration of death wishes for infidels and America and Israel almost daily all over the world?

    We can not have any excuses anymore to whitewash Islam. We have to start closing Mosques now in the USA or we will be “SUBMITTING, INSHALLAH” very soon.

    The Whitehouse backtracks! Calls this a “technical glitch”!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4Q_dbP4BbU

    A technical issue with the audio during the recording of President Hollande’s remarks led to a brief drop in the audio recording of the English interpretation. As soon as this was brought to our attention, we posted an updated video with the complete audio here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoW61vwDG6w) and on WhiteHouse.gov (https://www.whitehouse.gov/photos-and…), which is consistent with the written transcript we released yesterday.

    Video: White House censors French President saying “Islamist terrorism”
    ………………………

    Actually shocking. This is utterly Orwellian.

    What makes it even worse, of course, is that by using the term “Islamist” that Hollande was himself sidestepping the full truth about Islam. But even this was too close to the truth for Barack Hussein Obama.

  19. underbed cat says

    Apr 1, 2016 at 5:32 pm

    I agree the body language was quite telling….I wonder if Holllande noticed his dramatic posture change or knows about the censoring. Who is the leader?

    Like Stalin’s NKVD. Hollande had better watch out, or else he will “disappear,” and all images of him with Obozo will be edited to remove him from the scene.

    • rara says

      Apr 1, 2016 at 6:57 pm

      It almost happened, as we see.

      The “glitch” was probaby a result of an existing policy that “islamist” and “islam” are never to be mentioned in negative context in the White House, and then somebody who applied the policy carried it over to Hollande too. Too bad, the French made their own video of the same scene.

    This next documentary shows how the Bible is historically valid.
    This web site shows a different perspective on Christianity than we are used to in the west and I think is far more accurate. http://www.roccoaerrico.com/index_htm_files/903.png

    Western Europe is literally being conquered from within, basically out of time to react democratically, and Obama scrubs the words of the President of France describing the conflict.

    Personally I think Obama is a traitor, and should be on trial, but that’s just my opinion.

    I wrote in Tom Tancredo during the first election, so don’t blame me. I knew McCain was nuts, so couldn’t go there.

  27. Myxlplik says

    Apr 2, 2016 at 12:50 pm

    Apr 2, 2016 at 3:50 pm

    Pretty specific, self serving audio glitch for Obama. Why does he have to lie about absolutely everything? Because that’s what liars do, all the time. Keeps him from being targeted as an infidel. You know Islam teaches that it is fine to lie when it’s for the benefit of Islam.

    You mean terrorist Obama. War criminal Obama. He would never do such a thing. Next thing you know he will be calling Holland an Islamaphobe, sponsoring get to know Islam nights at the White House, and making Islam is religion of peace speeches.
