U.S. Special Forces Is Gearing Up To Conduct Internet Propaganda And Deception Campaigns Online Using Deepfake Videos

The Intercept: U.S. Special Forces Want to Use Deepfakes for Psy-Ops  

The U.S. government spent years warning deepfakes could destabilize democratic societies. 

 U.S. Special Operations Command, responsible for some of the country’s most secretive military endeavors, is gearing up to conduct internet propaganda and deception campaigns online using deepfake videos, according to federal contracting documents reviewed by The Intercept. 

The plans, which also describe hacking internet-connected devices to eavesdrop in order to assess foreign populations’ susceptibility to propaganda, come at a time of intense global debate over technologically sophisticated “disinformation” campaigns, their effectiveness, and the ethics of their use.

WNU Editor: Deepfake videos are getting better and better with each passing year. I can easily see this technology being successful in duping a certain percentage of a target audience.

in the original it is easy to see Zuckerberg's eyes that he is missing a soul. in the deep fake you can't come to that conclusion.

Oh what you did not vote for our party?

Well, we found DNA evidence of you at a murder scene, and here is a (deep fake) video to prove you were there.

That's coming up soon

The terrorists known as Democrat party have put innocent people in prison for YEARS(!) based on a lie around January 6.

If even I know this, thousands of miles away, and if many of Republicans know this. Ask yourself, why are those guilty(!) Democrats still not hung up on a tree, high for everyone to see?

It's about time guys. We cannot have such monsters, such demons, rule over you and your military.

If you do not take care of business, we must.

Some of the latest numbers from Rasmussen Reports show 50 percent of respondents indicating approval of the job performance Biden is displaying in office, while 49 percent of poll participants disapproved. Often, Biden’s level of overall disapproval has been higher, even if only slightly, than the recorded level of approval for his performance, so the levels are notable in that regard. The elections data and analysis site FiveThirtyEight weighed the poll results in its average to reflect a lead of five percent — rather than one percent — for Biden’s approval over his disapproval, perhaps factoring in elements like the historically Republican lean of some numbers from Rasmussen Reports.

Is 4:31 Fred Lapides>

It has some of the hallmarks:

1) Pimping for a Democrat(s) ad nauseum
2) quote with quote marks or link
3) Pimping for a Democrat, when the Democrat is not related to the blogpost or comment thread
4) No tie-in or comments by him. You would think a person with and advanced degree in the languages would be able to think and write. You would be wrong.

No Biden is still underwater by 7.1 to 7.4 in aggregate polls.

Latest weekly Rassmussen for RCP shows 3/7-3/9 shows up by 1. What fred, the critical thinker, never asks is what the confidence interval is. But fred & #s, oh my!


Rassumussen overall shows Biden -11 underwater:

Only 38% of people think America is on the right track and fred thinks Biden is poplar. And he is. Aviator glasses make the man. Looks so stern and sexy!

-11 is good enough, when Democrats can steal in the low hundreds of thousands per state.

I truly wish fred were 65
