I have manually analyzed this, please just read this and stop jumping to conclusions.
I would not go down this deep fake rabbit hole, at least not yet. There is no need to right now.
So far we only have one person on here who ran a scan without training the software. It makes more sense that Trump just recorded this to shut them up and back off.
I ripped the video and another of his shot in same location and brought them into After Effects, zoomed in and examined them at pixel level. Both videos have similar artifacts and dark spots below his neck. The videos are so compressed at 720p that it's hard to tell much. You get large smears of color blocks in both, but the artifacts at contrasting areas like his collar and throat and mic, they look very much the same, like it or not. Body language is the biggest difference I see. Lens and camera distance may also play a part making his height look different compared to background and scale of flags.
I won't go into any more detail, but I will look at it again tomorrow with fresh eyes. And yes, I've been doing work for a very long time which lends to me analyzing footage, as I had to make fake shit look real for work—compositing, vfx, etc. You've probably seen some of my work :P
If it comes time where we need to know for sure, or if someone who knows their shit properly trains analyzation software and does it in a scientific way, I'd be more inclined to believe it's fake and validated as such.
Yes, I agree. I have been saying all day that this was definitely a mixed bag of people and events that took place that can't be generalized. Too much footage of antifags has come out.
The odd thing to me is no one seems to want to acknowledge it. I actually heard Dennis prayer say that "even if Antifa was there, it doesn't matter." I mean wtf.
I posted a comment below, but also, did you train this thing?
All of these things seem to use training. I checked out some commercial ones and you have to train them or they won't work right.
I would imagine, feeding compressed YT 720p 23.976 fps video into it would make anything come back as fake from all the artifacts from double compression.
I would honestly test even sources that are crystal clear (well, as close as possible on youtube). Even mundane shit, like a newscast about building zoning or small town dog shows.
I have considered many things. Here's one:
Pence isn't a traitor... or only sorta used to be.
Hypothesis: Trump told Pence to go along with the certification, but to use words not to incriminate himself, i.e. all that shit about the parliamentarian.
This way, when shit hits the fan, Pence is clear, maybe save himself of being accused by either side. If he was dirty, it was a deal. If not dirty, it was a plan. Don't forget, sometimes the best spies are ones you recruit from the enemy.
I have no basis for this, but since this dude is asking for hypotheticals, this is just one things that crossed my mind. Fished it out of the dust bin just for you guys.
I agree. If you're going to take people out with force, you better damn well have the goods on them.
I can't see the future, ya know? Just giving my take if there is a way. But there are real executive powers Trump has that he can use, but he's crossing the rubicon of rubicons. These are the people/descendants of the ones who took out JFK and maybe worse. But he also would have to have enough support and protection to do this. I mean, honestly, if he decided to take down a big chunk of the swamp in one motion, he'd have to be hauled up in Mount Weather or NORAD. This would be taking on the deep state head on, full bore, no-holds barred for all the chips. This is no small feat. It seems like how the Dems et al are acting, they're basically saying, "come at me bro," but at the same time they aren't acting too confident. It's odd.
I really hope he has the balls and has planned properly to do this. If not we're in big fucking trouble.
Keep in mind: imagine if Trump does pull this off and there is a complete media/social media blackout and we have no contact with him. Imagine if the media reports Trump is killed, or his kids are in custody, the lies will be insane. Who the hell knows what will happen in the coming days.
I'm not a conservative either. I love this country and hate who's been ruling it.
They can't all be controlled. Some are just grunts. I even know one of them. I'm not sure where the disconnect is, unless it's as simple as they are following the crowd.
Insurrection act is one.
I think one of the problems most of us have is that we're thinking about this like we usually do. "What's the legal way for X." Now that my brain has calmed down.... see below.
Think of it like this: if foreign authoritarian governments controlling US politicians, who were in league with Big Tech, who bought of election officials to steal an election and install a puppet president, while MSM fed the masses lies, how much power do you think the President—the commander in chief of the armed forces—would have to bring them to justice. I would say, a lot, and probably more ways than we think. Trump has done what he said. He tried all normal, peaceful legal methods. Using the military is also legal, but now he can say he tried the other ways.
Now think about all the military people who swore to protect us from enemies. Imagine Trump and crew alert who they need to (previously) that this shit was about to go down. I don't care what everyone says about Trump being alone, there is no fucking way that all of the military can be compromised—all of these hoo-rah patriotic motherfuckers.
The criminals know how much power Trump has. That's why there is this massive push to kick him out and why they are demonizing us like mad instead of celebrating. If they had already won, they would be laughing and partying. They wouldn't be on this warpath.
I'm tired so there's probably stuff I'm missing. but there ya go.
I have a feeling that if/when Trump pulls this off, it will feel like ripping duct tape off of your forearm. It will sting a bit, but the relief and feeling of accomplishment will make you smile once your nerves shut the fuck up.
I know this was posted a few hours ago, but I just needed to say this.
Imagine working in this den of vipers for years, knowing possibly even more of the darkness than Trump, and then getting up and speaking out, knowing it could be career suicide or worse.
Hats off to those who spoke up.
He looks like a fuckin Stepford wife.
