Jordan Peele does a PSA as Barrak Obama to demonstrate that "videos can be faked" Which is totally true. The deepfakes that have been in the news are something to be concerned about but the limitations of the technology are never discussed. The only important thing it to put it in the public consciousness that "videos can be faked". I work in video and digital effects. My eyes are tuned to see this stuff. The supposed HRC video should not look like these blurry chin deepfakes nor would she be looking well lit right at the camera. But that won't be the discussion. The discussion will be "videos can be faked". Educate yourself.

This would only soften the blow, but not counter it. If the video is real, experts will be able to tell it's real, then all shit breaks loose. Thankfully we're not at a point where we can make videos that are indistinguishable from the real thing.

We are getting very close to indistinguishable video. Experts will be the only deciders of authenticity.

The cabal will hire their own "experts" to state "authoritatively" that any Hillary video with a child "is a deep fake!"

It will only take 10-15% of the population to make it become real.
