⁣CBS Forced to Delete Segment After Most Embarrassing Biden Reporting in History Exposed On-Air

Was curious as to whether Ratchety Anne actually came up with this ungainly phrase; no, according to PolitiFact:

‘Cheap fake’ is not new terminology

Misinformation researchers first coined the term "cheap fake" in 2019, as "deepfake" videos made with artificial intelligence grew more popular. Cheap fakes are real videos that have been manually edited with low-cost, easy-to-access tools or taken out of context.

Some social media users falsely claimed White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre invented the term "cheap fake."

After showing footage of Jean-Pierre talking about the spree of edited Biden clips, the narrator in a June 18 Instagram video said, "Cheap fake videos? Did she just make that up? That’s not even a word or a thing. … They’re telling you guys that those videos are fake and manipulated when it is raw footage not tampered with at all."

Creators of cheap fakes use techniques such as slowing or speeding footage, cropping or zooming in on videos, and clipping parts of videos to omit the full context.

By contrast, "deepfake" videos are typically more sophisticated because they are created with AI technology. Deepfakes can be real videos manipulated by AI, or videos produced entirely by AI.

Darren Linvill, a Clemson University communication professor specializing in social media disinformation, said cheap fakes have several advantages over other tools of disinformation. Those include being easy to create and difficult for social media platforms to regulate because they often don’t violate the platforms’ rules, said Linvill, who also serves as co-director of Clemson’s Media Forensics Hub. Meta’s Third Party Fact-Checking program, for instance, does not apply to politicians.

"Third, and perhaps most importantly, cheap fakes can take easy advantage of human psychology. If I believe that either Trump or Biden are old and losing their faculties, seeing even a brief piece of video that supports that belief will quickly reinforce it and entrench it," Linvill said.

Hey Allan. Long time. Much has happened, and been revealed. Just to add to the fun, another new ME vid has come out that added more HISTORICAL items to the list of insane ‘anomalies’… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCozkMqDHDI

To help settle this issue for you and those who read your blog, here is the ‘reality’ of this wacko situation: The cutting edge physicists are RIGHT: There are MANY PARALLEL UNIVERSES/TIMELINES which vary from being ‘almost identical’ to ‘extremely distinct’ from each other. Now in OUR case here in THIS ‘reality’, what we have been experiencing is a MERGING OF TIMELINES among the Collective of Humanity (since around 2012 🙂 ). Therefore, some of us have ‘memories’ of our particular individuated/unique/personal Consciousness’ ‘lifetimes’ that are of ‘this’ Timeline, while others among the population have ‘memories’ of THEIR ‘lifetimes’ that are actually of OTHER Timelines, the ones they ‘come from’. And that, btw, is THE simplest explanation I have ever heard (Occam’s Razor right?). And also makes the most LOGICAL sense, explains every.single.detail.and.aspect of the ME phenomenon — as long as you are willing to LET GO of your deeply programmed (by the PTW (Powers That WERE)) BELIEFS about ‘What is reality, and how does it function?’. Being a trained scientist, analyst, and logician, I have heard no other hypothesis that even comes close to this one. And simply shouting like a dumbed-down sheeple idiot “Oh, but that’s IMPOSSIBLE, people are just ‘remembering wrong’ en masse, stop with your wacko tin foil hat theories already!” (despite the fact that most modern physicists are totally aligned with this ‘tin foil hat wacko theory hehe) is, quite literally, THE greatest clinical proof of Cognitive Dissonance imaginable 🙂

Hope this helps clarify things, helps ppl get a better grasp on how PLASTIC this Multiverse truly is…and how powerful WE all are, as the Ones actually co-creating it ‘on the fly’, as we go, to maximize the fun of BEing the creators of our own experiences in the material realms of…well, ‘Creation’! 😀

What is 'Jewish Lightning'? and is it an antisemitic term?
The term was referenced in a recent episode of the hit Hulu show The Bear

The Bear, a TV show set in Chicago, and depicting the lives of a rag-tag bunch of chefs trying to save their restaurant, became an instant hit when it debuted in the summer of 2022.

Starring Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri and Canadian chef-turned-actor Matty Matheson, the Bear's gritty underworld of gambling debts, gangster turf wars and failed health inspections is far from politically correct.

In the first episode of the newly released second series of the show, one of the main characters, Richie, played by Jewish actor Ebon Moss Bachrach uses the term "Jewish lightning" to describe damage to the restaurant caused by an insurance scam.

In this context, "Jewish Lightning" refers to deliberately burning down a property or business to collect the insurance payout.

https://archive.vn/o/YxsKs/htt....ps://twitter.com/ble

In the scene, the staff of the restaurant is discussing ways to pass a gas safety examination, when Ayo Edebiri's character Sydney accidentally puts her hand through a hole in a wall covered up by a baseball poster.

Richie, then explains that the hole was originally made in a failed case of "Jewish Lightning."

The American Jewish Committee describes "Jewish Lightning" as a slur rooted in the stereotype of Jews as stingy business owners. In a dictionary on their website, the AJC say: "The faulty reasoning argues that because Jews love money and are unwilling to spend it, they will commit insurance fraud."

It's not clear where the term originated, but its use has been widely documented for decades. In 2019, when the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris burned down, some people on social media accused the owners of orchestrating "Jewish Lightning" on the historic building.

In The Bear, the problematic nature of the term is recognised, with other characters in the scene imploring Richie to stop calling insurance fraud the antisemitic term.

⁣TaraBull - PED0 trying to meet up with a 13 yr old, her brother shows up instead

⁣They are very open about their relationship often participating in public displays of affection towards one another.

But perhaps Chrissy Teigen shared a little too much about their sex lives as her honest answer about getting intimate at an Obama event left John Legend almost speechless.

The power couple chatted with AJ Calloway and Tracey Edmonds from the programme Extra when the 29-year-old model picked a question out of a mystery bowl.

Chrissy read the question on the Grammy Awards red carpet as she said: 'Public place you did it. Is this the best or the worst?'

John, 36, seemingly sweating the answer already wiped off his forehead as he said: 'The best.'

The former Sports Illustrated cover girl then continued: 'Okay the best, um, probably the Obama thing,' as she begins laughing and walks off camera.

The All Of Me singer looked none-too-pleased with the answer given by his wife of nearly 17 months as he was queried what she was talking about.

He said: 'I don't know. We're not going to discuss that. We're not talking about it, that's the truth.'

Chrissy returned for a bit of damage control as she assured the interviewers: 'Not the White House. 100% not the White House.'

John reiterated: 'It was not at the White House. That's correct. He was not elected yet.'

The American model tried to get back in the good graces of her crooner husband as she said: 'Sorry, I'm in trouble now.'

Aside from the awkwardness, the couple looked very stylish as they attended music's biggest night together.

Chrissy showed off her model frame in a long-sleeved, figure-hugging gown which featured a line of cut outs around her bust into her torso and down the side of her legs.

She completed the look with a matching white clutch as she wore her dirty blonde locks down into waves flowing over her shoulders and had natural, complimentary make-up on her face.

As usual the Ordinary People hitmaker looked dapper as he donned a grey suit featuring a black lapel over a smart white shirt and black leather dress shoes.

John closed out the show alongside rapper Common as part of the tribute to civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King's epic march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama.

Comment from ⁣dethcult_dies on BitChute:


no, they were Celts originally, that went west, then the entire region we call "greece" today was raped out by eastern hoon hill-ape hybrids

if you look at the DNA of "greeks" it is all but identical to that of the turks

there is an ancient account, thousands of years old, an army of Celts marched across Europa to Delphi, not a few over-dressed chieftains mind you, but hundreds of thousands of warriors

when they arrived there to check on the advanced civilization they left behind, that they had subsequently lost contact with, all they found were swarthy, dark-haired, black-eyed mongrels squatting the ruin

and what do you think they did? Wipe them out, to avenge the slaughter rape and cannibalism of their kin? Nope

they did an about-face and marched back to Europe

language = the keys to the kingdom

https://archive.org/details/Hebrew.is.Greek

this book, is written by a "jew"

a "jew" is a turkic-mongol hybrid - from the east

why does the old testament say that the HBRW "dwelled among the greeks"? - because they are the same creatures

ger means "war" - Ger-Man - Hun-Gar-ian - the hun-guard

"la guerre" in French, which is derived from ancient Celto-Gallic, "guerilla warfare" - hit and run tactics

- guerilla means "sons of war"

so Ger-Eka also means "sons of war" - the rape-babies

that's why they all have archaic features

it is in the ancient Sumerian and Egyptian writings, they created a slave class mixing the DNA of man with animals, the "guti" race, pronounced Joo-Tee

we made these creatures from dogs, Canus Lupus, the forest wolf, this is why "apes" have an opposable thumb on their feet, if you look at the "thumb" on the paws of wolfs and dogs. it is essentially vestigial, they pad-walk on their toes, the "thumbnail" might have some function holding a "grip" when copulating, but otherwise, it is a completely useless digit for the canids - add the DNA of man and you get a grown-out "thumb" on the feet of apes and chimps, it is grade-school math, gigantism and also dwarfism and other genetic abnormalities comes from hybridism

if "apes" evolved a thumb on their feet for climbing trees, which they never do, why aren't they driving SUV's and making shitty stock deals that ruin the economy for everyone else?

There is no such thing as "evolution"

why do apes have massive, over-sized "canine teeth", yet are herbivores? That is not nature, that is tinkering

why, when apes and chimps eat meat, mainly the flesh of other apes they killed in territorial disputes, why do they go mad? - in humans, when they cannibalize their own kind, the brain deteriorates, called "kuru madness" - cur = a mongrel dog

the "Yehudi" were the race of Cain's descendants from Ceylon (Sri Lanka) - race = ra-ka / ra-ça - whom kidnapped Rama's wife - the account of Adam and Eve and what do you suppose the monkey hybrids did with Adam's wife while she was held in captivity?

hybrids of hybrids of hybrids, THAT is what we are faced with, the Sumerians and Egyptians made their Frankensteinian monster and it got away on them, imagine that, then, they shirked their duty to clean up their mess, these things have been raping and cannibalizing their way up the food-chain ever since

how does an all-knowing, all-seeing "God" not know where Cain hid Abel's body after murdering him?

"where is thy brother Abel" - Ab-El - not of "el" the "moon goddess"

then "god" realized the horror of it; Cain ATE Abel, to steal his "favour" with God

Cann-Ibal

it is a standard fantasy of psycho cannibals that they eat other's they consider powerful to gain their power, like chinese eating a tiger

this is why India for instance is majority vegan, this is why in the "christian" lore, which was brought from the east, there is a prohibition against making effigies of "God" - their god is Cain

Cain/khan/kagan/kahane/kohainim/cohen/koenig/king

the Egyptians also called them Apiru / Habiru / Epirus - "rus" meaning the "red", like "russet potatoes" - so Ape-Blood

Epirus is the name of a region in the west of "greece", which has only been called that since the 1850's when Europe decided to save the region from the Ottoman Turks

in the region called Epirus, there is a mountain or hill called "Cyno-Cephaly", there was a famous battle with the Romans and Philip II of Macedon there

Ro-Ma - blood of the mother - a study of languages shows that most of the eastern place names and their own names are variations of "blood mother"

cyno-cephaly is Latin, it means "dog head" which is derived from prognathism, the muzzle of blacks and other sub-humans

in old world Celtic the word is "kuhno-kephaloi" - kuhn/kan/khan/gan/ghan all are regional dialetic contractions of kun = dog

Af-Ghan-is-tan - af, ef, ev, ov all mean "son of" es, is, as in suffixes or even buried in names also means "son of"

the son of the son of the son of the son - sound familiar?

there is nothing new under the çon

but you all must actually wake up

The kid who spent the night at your home? the one you went to the gay bar with? The reason the school board had a meeting about you? What do you think Tim, should I drop that now? Or should I wait another week or so? You know, the student you were having sex with, the male student you were having sex with? They didn't call you Touchdown Timmy because you were the football coach, oh wait, you lied about that also. You were the assistant coach. What do you think Tim? You remember the Indigo Girls concert, right? The gay bar, spending the night and of course the school board meeting. Think it is time Tim? TOUCHDOWN TIMMY. You were Touchy alright.

⁣In what may be a major archaeological breakthrough, an independent researcher has suggested that the earliest writing in human history has been hiding in plain sight in prehistoric cave paintings in Europe, a discovery that would push the timeline of written language back by tens of thousands of years, reports a new study.

Hundreds of European caves are decorated with mesmerizing paintings of animals and other figures that were made by our species between roughly 15,000 and 40,000 years ago, during the Palaeolithic Age when humans were still hunter-gatherers. These cave paintings often include non-figurative markings, such as dots and lines, that have evaded explanation for decades.


⁣Ben Bacon, a furniture conservator based in London, U.K. who has described himself as “effectively a person off the street,” happened to notice these markings while admiring images of European cave art, and developed a hunch that they could be decipherable. Now, Bacon has unveiled what he believes is “the first known writing in the history of Homo sapiens,” in the form of a prehistoric lunar calendar, according to a study published on Thursday in the Cambridge Archeological Journal.


“I think that the cave paintings fascinate us all because of their beauty and visceral immediacy,” Bacon told Motherboard in an email. “I was idly looking at Palaeolithic paintings one night on the Web and noticed, purely by chance, that a large number of animals had what I took to be numbers associated with them.”


Intrigued by the markings, Bacon launched a meticulous effort to decode them, with a particular focus on lines, dots, and a Y-shaped symbol that show up in hundreds of cave paintings.


Previous researchers have suggested that these symbols could be some form of numerical notation, perhaps designed to count the number of animals sighted or killed by these prehistoric artists. Bacon made the leap to suggest that they form a calendar system designed to track the life cycles of animals depicted in the paintings. He enlisted leading archaeologists from Durham University and the University College London to develop the idea and co-author the new study.


“That we are looking for number-based information about specific prey animals is therefore our point of departure,” the researchers explained in the study. “It seems to us unnecessary to need to convey information about the numbers of individual animals, the times they have been sighted, or the number of successful kills.”


“It seems far more likely that information pertinent to predicting their migratory movements and periods of aggregation, i.e. mating and birthing when they are predictably located in some number and relatively vulnerable, would be of greatest importance for survival,” they added.
The researchers note that the paintings are never accompanied by more than 13 of these lines and dots, which could mean that they denote lunar months. The lunar calendar they envision would not track time across years, but would be informally rebooted each year during a time in late winter or early spring known as the “bonne saison.” The “Y” symbol, which is commonly drawn directly on or near animal depictions, could represent birthing because it seems to show two parted legs.


“We adopt the simple solution that they started counting months at the start of the bonne saison and continued until counting became irrelevant in late winter—simply re-starting the count of months at the start of the next bonne saison,” the team said in the study. “A great advantage of this calendar is that it is stable in describing the life-cycles of animals and plants despite great geographical and cultural differences in the European Upper Palaeolithic.”
To test out this hypothesis, the team compiled a database of more than 600 line and dot sequences without the Y symbol, as well as some 250 sequences with the Y, which appear mostly in paintings from France and Spain. These sequences span tens of thousands of years, and accompany many different animal depictions, such as aurochs, birds, bison, caprids (such as goats and antelopes), deer, fish, horses, mammoths, and extinct rhinos that once lived in Europe.


After conducting a statistical analysis of the database, Bacon and his colleagues were amazed to find that their lunar calendar seems to hold up well with the patterns.


“Overall, there is a remarkable degree of correlation between the numbers of lines/dots in sequences with and without and the position of and the mating and birthing behaviors of our analytical taxa,” the researchers said in the study. “Our data do not explain everything, but even taking imprecision and regional variability into account, the degree of support for our hypothesis is striking.”


“Our data indicate that the purpose of this system of associating animals with calendar information was to record and convey seasonal behavioral information about specific prey taxa in the geographical regions of concern,” they added.


Bacon told Motherboard that putting all of this together has been “exhausting” and that the team will hold off on celebrating until they have published all of their findings. The researchers also anticipate arguments among experts around the exact definition of “writing” and whether their hypothetical calendar would neatly fall into that category.


“We do not want to press the controversial (and in many senses, semantic) question of whether writing was a Paleolithic invention; perhaps it is best described as a proto-writing system, an intermediary step between a simpler notation/convention and full-blown writing,” the researchers said in the study.”


“Assuming we have convinced colleagues of our correct identification, there will no doubt be a lively debate about precisely what this system should be called, and we are certainly open to suggestions,” they continued. “For now, we restrict our terminology to proto-writing in the form of a phenological/meteorological calendar. It implies that a form of writing existed tens of thousands of years before the earliest Sumerian writing system.”


It would be hard to overstate the magnitude of this discovery, assuming it passes muster in the wider archaeological community. It would rewrite the origins of, well, writing, which is one of the most important developments in human history. Moreover, if these tantalizing symbols represent an early calendar, they offer a glimpse of how these hunter-gatherers synchronized their lives with the natural cycles of animals and the Moon.


In short, if the new hypothesis is accurate, it shows that our Paleolithic ancestors “were almost certainly as cognitively advanced as we are” and “that they are fully modern humans,” Bacon told Motherboard. It also means “that their society achieved great art, use of numbers, and writing” and “that reading more of their writing system may allow us to gain an insight into their beliefs and cultural values,” he concluded.

Remember GIRLS GONE WILD❓

Trust VfB - the girls do [an excerpt]:

Impact of Girls Gone Wild on participants

For many women featured in Girls Gone Wild, the experience is way more than just a past mistake. Some faced immediate consequences, like public shame and ostracism, while others discovered years later that their images still circulated online, prolonging the trauma.

The docuseries, Girls Gone Wild: The Untold Truth, brings stories of survivors who finally find space to speak, whose accounts reveal the weight of living in a world where their image was marketed without consent, in a time when the internet never forgave and never forgot.

Girls Gone Wild marked an era and also left a trail of painful lessons. In a society that already normalized female objectification, the franchise took this to an extreme, transforming bodies into merchandise under the guise of rebellious entertainment.

The exploitation of female freedom was packaged as fun, but the price fell on the participants. For Francis, it was just business. For the women? The burden of real and lasting consequences.
