According to orangepeelbeef on chat, the gist of the message is that
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Betty's friends are being taken to Mr. Johnson and that Betty should look at YouTube now.

As of right now, however, there's nothing we have found there - either we still have to wait for it, or there's a different username to be found.

I may be wrong, usually am, and i know no French at all but it could also translate to this:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I am your/I will be your sammeeeees friend. Quickly Betty, to the misteralanjohnson on youtube. Now!


[Edit] to make the source code easier to read:
Quote:
as i was checking out of my hotel, the desk clerk passed me a note and said bonjour
and this is this rubbish that was scribbled onto the paper, can you guys help me

weird french

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
je vais aller = i am going i will go typo maybe??

also not really sure what the vite is doing in there

but it seems to say I will go with your sammeeeees and friends of betty to Mr Alan Johnsons



Also, looking at the source, this seems to be a message that Betty was passed not written by her, don't forget that part.

Meaning of the message

SPEC: Maybe it was to get Betty to see Mr AJs video that we found earlier?

Edit to add: Here is an email from Betty after I told her the solve for the message.

Quote:
thanks for decoding it! johnson is such a french wanna-be! i'm sure at some point he will make the entire world french! watched that video. (rolling eyes) please! enough with the crap about danvers state hospital. yeah we know already. higgs took a little trip to the hospital on the hill last may before they tore it all down. we needed to find out who was telling the truth. (johnson or peeps) there were rooms and rooms of discarded patient documents. higgs found one file for buck jones. and yes he had lived there as a child but he didn't suffer from anything other than neglect. his parents were alcoholics and couldn't take care of him so they dumped him on the doorstep of danvers state hospital and said he was insane. his parents said his name was buck jones but who knows if that's even real. peeps lived there until he was 14 and then kinder the horrible turned the boy over to johnson. don't even get me started with that freak! and johnson trained "buck jones" over the next four years to be a jackal for spoocheeeee. i'm sure johnson is spinning his "peeps is a dangerous man" tale for his recruits. (yawn) so predictable! please do what you can to convince those recruits that peeps is not a dangerous man. look, he has done some horrible things but he had to do what they told him to do and he didn't know any better. he thought he was doing something to help the world. i'll try to get in touch later. i'm still moving from place to place right now.
betty
oh and do you guys think that's what johnson wanted me to see? the peeps history video. i don't know. seems like its more something for the new sammeeeees. if you find any else email me. email is best for me right now. cells are useless. spoocheeeee listens to everything phone call i make. ciao for now.

I've sent an email to Betty. I've also posted a note on the Flickr account incase Ben can read it and respond. If I don't hear anything from him in a day, I'll try posting a comment in one of the pictures.

Here is a transcription of the YouTube video "The Five":

Quote:

starts showing empty frame
HIGGS voice offscreen:
"Hey, Mr. Alan Johnson, can you hear me? I'm coming a little closer to the camera"
HIGGS visible, blurry then comes into focus. "Yea that's it right there."
HIGGS: "It's me, Higgs. How are ya doing in there? I'm thinking you're pretty nervous right about now. I thought you should know that- I didn't come alone on my mission today. A friend of mine tailed me. She was filming while you and you gang grabbed me. You're getting messy Alan. Do your fellow spoocheeeees know that you didn't get all of us today? Peeps is still out there. And I'm sure Betty is about to wreak havoc on you and your world domination, you freak.
voice offscreen: "Just tell him you read the letter."
HIGGS sighs: "We all read your letter, and again we have voted and it's a unanimous "No" - we will not hand over Peeps to you or to your spoocheeeee jackals. We know the truth. And your stupid flickering light torture is not enough to break any of us. We're Sammeeeeees. Yea."
voice offscreen: "Let me talk to him."
HIGGS sighs: "Happy Rogers wants to speak to you."
HIGGS leaves frame, HHR enters frame (barely!)
HHR: "Hi Mister Alan Johnson. It's me, Happy Rogers. Uh Mr. Alan Johnson, you know I have a son Ben who's 16 years old. Well he got home from school around 3 o'clock today, and my husband, I think you know, he's in Japan on business, so Ben's home alone right now. Um I- can you do me a favor? I- I just need someone to contact him and let him know that I'm okay. You can contact him through my Flickr account. It's "HappyHappyRogers" at Flickr, okay? And please tell him, 'Your mom's okay, and not to worry.' Thank you Mr. Alan Johnson. Addison wants to say something."
HHR leaves frame, ADDISON enters frame.
ADDISON: "Uh, I- I'd like to ask you to release Dwin and Trinket. Trinket's 19. Dwin's only 14. I mean, they're kids. They thought that this- was a game. Please, let them go. They both promised that if you release them they wouldn't say anything. You'd be safe. Uh even if they did get out, who's going to believe them anyway? They're kids! Please give this some consideration."
ADDISON leaves frame. TRINKET enters frame (barely!).
TRINKET: "You're an idiot, Johnson! Betty and Peeps are still out there! And we will take you down, and you mark-"
Video cuts off suddenly.

I'd like to point out that there seems to be one missing. Four faces for a video labeled "The Five"?
