Long gone are the days of cheep tabloids and very out of context paparazzi photographs, sub-par photo-editing, and scams creeping out of the pits of the dark web: now we have, and have had, what are called “deep fakes:” technology that is so dangerous that it is very hard to tell the difference between CGI and reality.
On January 19th, 2022, political commentator Mark Dice published a video taking a quick look into these deep fakes, and how they work.
He starts his video by referencing a popular 1970’s film called “The Running Man,” starring Arnold Schwarzenegger – who played a futuristic character that was framed for the mass murder of an entire community. His face and some physical attributes were then spliced over doctored footage to incriminate him in the public eye, and calls for his execution.
What we have today far surpasses that imagination.
This technology is far from nothing, Dice explains, as variations were used in movies such as “Forest Gump,” to make it look like the Gump was shaking President John Kennedy’s hand, among others.
This tech utilizes artificial intelligence technology in order to map in imagery into the frames.
But this is tech is not being limited to the movies.
In 2018 a man by the name of Jordan Peele pretended to be President Barak Obama, when it is revealed that he was just acting, displaying side-by-side film showing a hyper-realistic Obama and Peele emulating him.
Moreover, researchers at Stanford University in 2016 also demonstrated this with a basic webcam, pretending be other political figures like President George W. Bush, or soon to be President Trump – with some graphics from popular news outlets overlaid on the screen, to give the illusion that it was an actual broadcast.
But now in today’s age the average Joe can create a deep fake to this caliber, and much better. On a low-end scale, practically most social media influencers use all sorts of filters to make themselves appear far different from what they actually are in real life, all within a matter of seconds.
But as Dice as explains, the U.S. military was already using this technology to make propaganda. Under President Bush, preceding an invasion of Iraq, the CIA deepfaked a video that showed Saddam Hussein fornicating with an adolescent boy; or plans to make Osama Bin Laden out to be a pedophile, with the goal of causing the people to rise up and remove them from power.
In more modern times, tech company NVDIA has AI chips so powerful that they can alter the weather in any picture or video, to whatever the designers wants it to be in precise detail.
Furthermore, Dice discusses Adobe’s Voco released in 2016 – the audio equivalent to Photoshop – that allows users to create voices that can perfectly emulate someone else’s voice.
This and more can be seen in Dice’s video below:
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
2 Timothy 3:13
I will preface by saying I do not endorse Mark Dice, as I think he is also controlled opposition to an extent, as he always plays into the left vs. right paradigm, and Trump can do no wrong bogus garbage; and never gets censored.
Nevertheless, I mention this report because in light of what is happening with Russia-Ukraine, and how it is becoming clear that so many clips being shared about the conflict are either repurposed from years past, or are indeed fake. So, it begs the question if the vast majority of these “new” and “real” clips popping up are actually deep fakes of bombs and buildings getting destroyed, peace talks with leaders, and Zelensky making “passionate” speeches.
More Propaganda And Fakery From Russia-Ukraine. Supply Chain Woes And Famine. Arms Deals Get Bigger
Furthermore, it would explain things like how Joe Biden is such a senile vegetable: someone could be faking that, or vice-versa when Biden can actually be understood properly in some speeches.
My point is, this gives a new meaning to fake news, and why reinforces why you cannot trust the media for a nanosecond on anything.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

I’ve been thinking – Y’know how Deagle predicted 70% of the American population being decimated: I don’t think Satans goons met their quota with the vaccines, so the rumors of nuclear annihilation may be the cause of all those casualties.
And remember when the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, and allowed the nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Ww2? If WW3 were to come to fruition, Los Angeles and New York City would seem like places worthy of being eradicated, because of the high concentration of wickedness in those areas.
Nothing what I said is for certain, I’m sorry if I instilled fear into you guys, I just wanted to share some of my thoughts in regards to Ukraine Russian Fiasco.
At this point it’s on the table. I wouldn’t rule anything out. I still think a “cyber attack” is the chosen route: making the slaves of America suffer as they cannot get access to their devices and money.
Now a days with all this AI tech, it’s getting really difficult to discern truth from lie. We can’t really know for sure what is going on in Ukraine and Russian. Whatever is happening there, however tense it is, I pray that God will take care of the brethren and keep them safe~
From what I read, if the electric grid goes down for 12 months, about 90% of the population would be gone.
Big Cities like NYC would be death traps.
