FBI Releases Censored Orlando 911 Call Transcripts

ZeroHedge

As we explained previously, The DoJ has censored all references to Islamic Terrorism from the following 911 call transcript…

 

In the ongoing war of words between president Obama on one hand, who has repeatedly said that Orlando shooter Omar Mateen was “self-radicalized” and was not influenced by Islamic elements, and Donald Trump prominently on the other, where the Republican presidential candidate has repeatedly alleged that Mateen’s actions were provoked by “radicalized Islam” which has prompted Trump to renew his calls for a temporary ban on Muslim immigrants as well as profiling Muslims already in the US, it appears that the president is about to get some much needed help from none other than the Department of Justice, which will step into the debate, by releasing Mateen’s 911 transcripts however only after heavy edits which censor and remove all references to Islamic terrorism.

As RealClearPolitics writes, in an interview conducted earlier today with NBC’s Chuck Todd, Attorney General Loretta Lynch said that on Monday the FBI will release edited transcripts of the 911 calls made by the Orlando nightclub shooter to the police during his rampage. One minor matter: the transcripts will be heavily edited.

 

“What we’re not going to do is further proclaim this man’s pledges of allegiance to terrorist groups, and further his propaganda,” Lynch said.

 

“We are not going to hear him make his assertions of allegiance [to the Islamic State].” Why: so Obama’s statement that he was “self-radicalized” will preserve credibility.

So, with that in mind, we have replaced any mention of ISIS with ‘Hello Kitty’ to ensure no feelings are hurt during the reading of this transcript (via NBC News)

 

 

Orlando Police Dispatcher (OD): Emergency 911, this is being recorded.

 

Shooter (OM): In the name of God the Merciful, the beneficial [in Arabic]

 

OD: What?

 

OM: Praise be to God, and prayers as well as peace be upon the prophet of God [in Arabic]. I let you know, I’m in Orlando and I did the shootings.

 

OD: What’s your name?

This is all we have to say to that…

 

OM: My name is I pledge of allegiance to [Hello Kitty].

 

OD: Ok, What’s your name?

 

OM: I pledge allegiance to [Hello Kitty] may God protect him [in Arabic], on behalf of [Hello Kitty].

 

OD: Alright, where are you at?

 

OM: In Orlando.

 

OD: Where in Orlando?

 

[End of call.]

As AP additionally reports, The FBI explains…

(Shortly thereafter, the shooter engaged in three conversations with OPD’s Crisis Negotiation Team.)

2:48 a.m.:       First crisis negotiation call occurred lasting approximately nine minutes.
3:03 a.m.:       Second crisis negotiation call occurred lasting approximately 16 minutes.
3:24 a.m.:       Third crisis negotiation call occurred lasting approximately three minutes.

In these calls, the shooter, who identified himself as an Islamic soldier, told the crisis negotiator that he was the person who pledged his allegiance to [Hello Kitty], and told the negotiator to tell America to stop bombing Syria and Iraq and that is why he was “out here right now.” When the crisis negotiator asked the shooter what he had done, the shooter stated, “No, you already know what I did.” The shooter continued, stating, “There is some vehicle outside that has some bombs, just to let you know. You people are gonna get it, and I’m gonna ignite it if they try to do anything stupid.” Later in the call with the crisis negotiator, the shooter stated that he had a vest, and further described it as the kind they “used in France.” The shooter later stated, “In the next few days, you’re going to see more of this type of action going on.” The shooter hung up and multiple attempts to get in touch with him were unsuccessful.

(While the FBI will not be releasing transcripts of OPD communication with victims, significant information obtained from those victims allowed OPD to gain knowledge of the situation inside Pulse.)

4:29 a.m.:       As victims were being rescued, they told OPD the shooter said he was going to put four vests with bombs on victims within 15 minutes.

(An immediate search of the shooter’s vehicle on scene and inside Pulse ultimately revealed no vest or improvised explosive device.)

5:02 a.m.:       OPD SWAT and OCSO Hazardous Device Team began to breach wall with explosive charge and armored vehicle to make entry.
5:14 a.m.:       OPD radio communicationstated that shots were fired.
5:15 a.m.:       OPD radio communication stated that OPD engaged the suspect and the suspect wasreported down.

Based on OPD radio communications, there were no reports of shots being fired inside Pulse between the initial exchange of gunfire between responding officers and shooter, and the time of the final breach. During this time, the shooter communicated with an OPD 911 operator and an OPD crisis negotiator, and OPD radio communications reported that victims were being rescued.

Finally, as AP reports, The FBI had the following shocking statement:

 

Orlando nightclub gunman was not directed by foreign terror group; was radicalized domestically.

This is all we have to say to that…
