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.

Meaning Of “Blinded By The Light” By Manfred Mann’s Earth Band
By Liam Flynn
December 19, 2023
It is quite unusual for a cover of a song to become a larger hit than its original. But it is not impossible. The British rock band, Manfred Mann’s Earth Band, managed to accomplish this feat in the 1970s with Blinded By The Light.
The track, originally written and recorded by Bruce Springsteen, was released on his Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J. album from 1973. Manfred Mann had bought this album based on a recommendation by a local disc jockey from Philadelphia. He was one of a modest number of people who had bought the album as that was before Springsteen made it big with the mega-hit album Born To Run in 1975.
Meaning of Blinded By The Light Song Lyrics
According to Springsteen, the song was written when he looked through a rhyming dictionary and searched for appropriate lyrical wording. Blinded By The Light is about the ups and downs of a young musician’s life. However, the message always subtly reflects that the downs are the source of the struggles that bring talented musicians to the pinnacle of success.
Its music track is high-energy, and the lyrics talk about the thrill and hope only found in adolescence. Blinded By The Light reflects the invincibility of a youthful attitude that is filled with immeasurable hope and optimism that, in life, anything is possible.
The lyrics are reminiscent of an early Bruce Springsteen, the days when he was just beginning his career. In doing so, he had the good fortune of meeting unique and interesting characters when introducing his music across the Jersey Shore and the local music markets of Philadelphia and New York City.
The first line of the song, “Madman drummers bummers and Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat” is likely an autobiographical reference:
“Madman drummers” refer to a drummer, Vini Lopez, who had several nicknames, including Mad Man and Mad Dog.
“Indians in the summer” pertains to the Little League Team of Springsteen.
“Teenage Diplomat” is a reference to Springsteen himself.
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder feelin’ kinda older I tripped the Merry-go-round
The first line is a reference, according to his Aunt Dora Kirby, to the fact that Springsteen refused to take off his baseball hat.
A “merry-go-round” refers to baseball slang in which the pitcher consistently walks batters.
The song continues, adding other unrelated events, such as the beginning of verse 4:
Some silicone sister with her manager’s mister told me I got what it takes
She said I’ll turn you on sonny, to something strong if you play that song with the funky break
Blinded by the Light Lyric Controversy
When Manfred Mann’s Earth Band covered this Springsteen tune, the track became a super hit, despite the fact that the revised Blinded By The Light meaning was draped in controversy.
Springsteen originally wrote:
And she was blinded by the light
Oh, cut loose like a deuce
Another runner in the night
These were changed to:
Well she was blinded by the light
Wrapped up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
Note that the word ‘deuce’ references a 1932 Ford Model 18 with a V-8 engine, often called a Deuce Coupe, a two-seater hot-rod car, by automobile collectors and enthusiasts.
The controversy surrounded the fact that fans of the song notoriously misheard the lyrics, believing the “Wrapped up like a deuce” line sounded like “Wrapped up like a douche,” which references a feminine hygiene product.
Note that Mann wanted Springsteen to contribute to the record by singing the last part of the song. He even tried to reach out and ask him directly, avoiding the lengthy manager or publisher route.
But in the end, he sang the part he hoped Springsteen would have sung. Ironically, this part of the track is apparently the only time Mann’s voice can be heard on the recording of Blinded By The Light.
Blinded By The Light: Life as a Hit Record
Manfred Mann’s Earth Band’s cover of Blinded By The Light climbed slowly and steadily on the British rock charts but was outperformed in the United States. Its success was in spite (or perhaps because of) the attention the lyric controversy created.
In 1977, the cover by Manfred Mann’s Earth Band hit no. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States. It also reached the top ten in Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.
Mann, when attempting to explain the source of the controversy, notes that the recording machine’s azimuth (something about how the tape head angles on the recording tape) created a sound that many believed were the word ‘deuce,’ ‘douche,’ and even, ‘dooce.’
And just like that, Manfred Mann’s Earth Band’s no.1 song hit a controversial road bump. Quickly, radio stations from the southern parts of the United States (a.k.a., the Bible Belt) complained they couldn’t play the song on air because it sounded like the lyrics include words about a vaginal douche.
The irony of the lyric controversy was not lost on Mann or Springsteen.
What Makes a Great Song Cover?
Manfred Mann’s Earth Band’s cover of the song Blinded By The Light is likely to be more well-known than the original recording by its songwriter.
Perhaps, it was the band’s unique style and sound that created the difference, although Springsteen’s raw, brilliant lyrics and vision remain at the core.
What makes a great cover song is the talent that shines through. Both Springsteen and Mann are distinct and hugely talented musicians, with each of their versions completely unique and terrific musical compositions.
Blinded By The Light is pure evidence that a cover can rise to the level of the original if done with a balanced blend of creativity and a healthy respect for the songwriter’s original ideas.

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
AND THE PLOT THICKENS... The Growth of Graphene Hydroxide From Within the Body
Attorney Todd Callender: "It appears, based on our mass spectrometry, that they didn't actually include graphene oxide in the shots. What I've come to find instead is [that] they included all the base compounds in order for the bodies to produce their own graphene oxide... So all they have to do is put the base chemicals into the user, expose them to a certain level of magnetic radiation, so phone signals at a certain frequency, and those people will actually grow graphene hydroxide inside of them." 🙄

Michigan town votes to oust entire govt. over Chinese factory plans
Residents were upset over the board approving a China-linked factory
Resident: "We want everyone to have a voice, not have any secrecy anymore"
The new board will be sworn in on Wednesday
(NewsNation) — A rural Michigan town voted to oust its entire local government Tuesday after the town board approved a Chinese-affiliated electric battery plant.
Residents of Green Charter Township, Michigan, strongly disapproved of their local township board’s decision to greenlight the construction of a Chinese-connected electric vehicle battery plant in their community.
A locksmith was even brought in Tuesday night to change the locks on the ousted officials’ former offices. The offices are now empty.
The project was expected to create more than 2,300 jobs as part of a $2.34 billion investment.
Despite the backlash from residents, the board moved forward with the Chinese-affiliated project.
“My family members fought communism, and you’re bringing it right here,” a local resident said last year.
When NewsNation visited the town in April, a resident named Corri Riebow who had no experience in politics said, “I don’t know (why they would approve it), other than somebody must be benefitting from it.”
Riebow then ran for clerk and won last night. “We just plan on making it as difficult as we possible for them to continue their process. They don’t even have a sight planned, they don’t have permits yet, so, we’re not their friend,” Riebow said of how the new government is going to handle Gotion, the company behind the plant.
However, it’s the possible communist connection that so many Green Charter Township residents said drove them to the polls and fueled the town’s anger.
The Chinese-affiliated company Gotion previously denied allegiance to the communist party of China. However, its corporate records say, “The company shall set up a party organization and carry out party activities in accordance with the constitution of the communist party of China.”
“Right now, we are not on friendly terms with China. They are threatening us. I consider them the enemy. I don’t want them here, either,” resident Harry King said.
With the overwhelming distrust for the town’s government, a clerk from a neighboring township ran the election and counted the ballots.
Cheers erupted as voters heard the results from the recall election held to vote out the entire town board.
The new board will be sworn in on Wednesday, and the process to keep Gotion out of their township will begin. Gotion has already bought the property, so the new board is expecting a long road ahead, but they said they are willing to fight.
“We want everyone to have a voice and not have any secrecy anymore. This whole thing that went down with Gotion was horrible from the first go around. And like I said, the people have spoken,” one woman told NewsNation during Tuesday night’s election celebration.
NewsNation reached out to Gotion for a comment. The company responded: “We are a multinational company and don’t believe in political posturing and are still committed to bringing thousands of jobs to the state of Michigan.”

The tweet behind this:
Ok Tim, I guess now would be a good time to drop my October surprise. You remember him right? The real reason you walked away from teaching? 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.

JonC Memes - Trump's border wall 🧱
Source: https://x.com/JonCovering/stat....us/18582136628190622
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.

Dave Daubenmire, a veteran 35 year high school football coach, was spurred to action when attacked and eventually sued by the ACLU in the late 1990’s for mixing prayer with his coaching. As a result of the experience, Coach heard the call to move out of coaching a high school team, to the job of coaching God’s team. PASS THE SALT was formed to encourage the Body of Christ to step into the cultural war. “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood…” PASS THE SALT is convinced that God has given the Body a window of opportunity to take our culture back.
