X-Ray Vision for Social Media
In Book Two of the One Idea To Rule Them All Trilogy, I’ll be sharing more about the incredible sophistication of media campaigns dating as far back as the early 20th century. Here is a summation of the operation taken from a NYT article (To Teach Nation Banking Principles, New York Times, October 30, 1911)
Note point number three—Targeted pitches to segmented audiences. With AI this is simpler than ever before in history.
Create two scripts, one for the Right and one for the Left. Use AI to modify these scripts for different audiences with the press of a button. Viola, hundreds of “technically” different deliveries of the same essential message. Create videos, disseminate to targeted audience. LATHER RINSE REPEAT USING PODCASTER’S
Note in any current event, the situation will have plausible truth embedded within the context of both Right and Left narratives.
Simplified Leftist narrative
Trump’s operation is all about a corrupt oil grab
Petrodollar is collapsing
Brics nations are battling corrupt forces of the western world
Simplified Rightist narrative
They stole our oil- we are just taking it back
Maduro is a corrupt dictator
We are going in to save the Venezuelan people and stabilize the country
You should be justifiably sceptical of both views. After all, most of these “hostile” powers seem to be holding hands when it comes to digital ID’s, Pandemic responses, digital money, and building out surveillance and social credit systems. Humm
Back to the main point—
The basic tactic is to seed the environment with “evidence” for each narrative prior to the event.
Before the assassination of JFK, several big texas oilman ran a full page ad in the Dallas Morning News on the morning of the assassination, November 22, accusing the president of treason this was subsequently used as part of the rationale for a Right wing conspiracy against JFK. Alternately, Oswald was maneuvered to appear as a communist asset by virtue of his travels to Russia and ties to Cuban organizations etc.
Each side would be set up to see the narrative according to their current perceptual bias. A similar tactic was in place for the Kirk event. “Evidence” was immediately put out associating “the shooter” with far left wing violent extremist groups. And Kirk’s supposed shift against Israel was later used as justification for a right wing plot to kill Kirk who was talking too much and had pierced the veil of Zionist plotters.
As people easily fall into these grooves of patterned thought, any other alternatives readily fade into the background.
Here is an AI example of the Leftist narrative-I was forwarded this video from a friend who shared it from his Facebook feed.
With a little help from chatGPT I was able to quickly find this video…
And this video https://www.facebook.com/groups/1868571110083520/posts/4192445137696094/
These are segmented marketing pitches targeted to different audiences but saying mostly the same thing. I could easily find the same thing on the Right side.
Again, the top two videos are altered content or synthetic videos and are correctly labeled if you go to Youtube’s own platform or on Substack.
HOWEVER if you share to various platforms, the warning label gets striped out…as per chatGPT …
If you haven’t figured it out yet —Social Media is garbage—Run don’t walk
How YouTube’s “Altered or Synthetic Content” label behaves
1. The label is platform-specific
The “altered or synthetic content” disclosure is metadata that exists only inside YouTube’s ecosystem.
It is shown:
On the YouTube watch page
In YouTube embeds only when viewed within YouTube’s player context
Once the video leaves YouTube as a link, download, re-upload, or screen recording, that label is not transferred.
2. Sharing a YouTube link to FB or X
When you paste a YouTube link into:
Facebook
X (Twitter)
Reddit
Messaging apps
Those platforms:
Generate their own preview card
Do not read or display YouTube’s content-disclosure labels
Only show title, thumbnail, description (sometimes truncated)
➡️ The viewer on FB or X will not see any indication that YouTube flagged the video as altered or synthetic.
