The Chinese regime omitted the words “communism” and “dissent” when publishing the translation of Obama’s inauguration speech.
In Obama’s 18-minute speech, he said, “Recall that earlier generations faced down fascism and communism not just with missiles and tanks, but with the sturdy alliances and enduring convictions.” However, the word “communism” disappeared in the translated version published on the regime’s mouthpiece Xinhua Net.
Also, during the live broadcast of the ceremony on China Central TV (CCTV) Station’s news channel on Wednesday, immediately after the simultaneous translation of Obama’s phrase “faced down fascism and communism,” the broadcast suddenly switched to the host, who appeared unprepared for the switch.
Kind of like if someone on an American network said "f*ck" or if a woman's nipple slipped out on live, time-delayed TV or something like that, not that we see many time-delayed "live" shows in the Free World, as we're not as paranoid as the SinoCommies. At least we don't censor people for condemning communism (now, we'll have to work on putting an end to unconstitutional censorship of people who dare say uncomplimentary, true stuff about Islamofascists and militant "gay" fascists and other fascistic extremists favored by the Hard Left).
The host then switched the topic to the U.S. economy and passed it to her colleague in the CCTV news center in America. That person also appeared unprepared and looked a bit lost.
Well, that's what happens when you live under a totalitarian thumb. Hard to think for yourself when you were brought up to think as you're told... just, ironically, like Leftists in the Free World, who, astonishingly, don't take advantage of the freedom they have to think for themselves as opposed to thinking only as they're told and permitted (we're talking about political correctness) by the state apparatus!
And here's where the Chinese Communist Party demonstrates its crippling paranoia even better (emphasis mine):
Several major Chinese website also deleted another paragraph of the speech—“To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist”—because the word “dissent” were mentioned.
That red, boldface paragraph applies very aptly to the Left as well as to the Communists (like in China) and Islamofascists (like in Iran and all other Islamofascist regimes).
Ever noticed how the Left goes out of its way to silence dissentation from political correctness, which is obviously created by the Left itself? Ever notice that the Leftists are everywhere, everywhere, everywhere, just like agents of the Communist regime in China are everywhere? Damn, you can't go anywhere, can't do anything, without encountering some dumb, paranoid Leftist claiming "offence" or "hurt feelings" or something... Hell, they even have unconstitutional kangaroo courts in the Free World, too! Like, for example, Canada's fascist "Human Rights" Commissions and the actual court system of the Netherlands who disregard the Dutch constitution and law in order to take away Mr. Geert Wilders's right to freedom of expression and a fair trial... just for speaking the inconvenient truth about hateful supremacists...
Speaking of which, I have breaking news at this moment, from Canadian Freedom Fighter and Mr. Wilders's Canadian equivalent (more or less), Ezra Levant (emphasis mine):
A week ago, a blog called Barrel Strength broke the news that Canada's Justice Department has struck an internal committee to review section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act, the abusive censorship provision.
(...)
I'm pleased to say that I have received confirmation from a senior source at Justice that in fact such a review is underway. I understand that the report could be complete as soon as a month from now. It is unclear what will be done with the report -- whether it will simply be private advice to the Justice Minister and Prime Minister, or given to the Parliamentary Justice Committee for a public follow-up, or even form the basis of a bill.
Ezra says there's "good news and bad news" and that the good news is bigger. Best read his post for yourself.
Indeed, the Hard Left is still hard at work trying to keep us from saying stuff they don't want us to say. This includes the Hard Left of the Nonfree World, such as the Chinese Communists and the Iranian Islamofasicsts... and the Hard Left of the Free World, their de-facto ideological followers/cheerleaders/groupies/wannabes...
But we're fighting back. For example, to help Geert Wilders fight his domestic Liberal Fascists, the judges and courts of Holland, there's a petition you can sign right now:
PETITION: Click and sign to stand up for Geert Wilders and for his and everyone's human rights!
To: The Dutch GovernmentWHEREAS Geert Wilders has exercised his fundamental human right of freedom of expression and spoken out, with facts and evidence, of the threat posed by radical Islam;
Sincerely,
WHEREAS certain elements within Islamic communities have threatened a boycott of Dutch goods if Geert Wilders is not punished by the Dutch government for exercising his freedom of expression; and
WHEREAS certain elements in Dutch industry and the Dutch government are suggesting that Geert Wilders be prosecuted civilly or criminally, in order to prevent such a boycott;
IT IS RESOLVED that, in the event that the Dutch government attempts, in any way, to punish or prosecute Geert Wilders, civilly or criminally, for exercising his freedom of expression, the undersigned will initiate a boycott of any and all Dutch goods.
