Huffpost Calls For Biden Campaign to Fool Public With AI Videos That Make Sleepy Joe Look Younger & Healthy
An op-ed published by Huffpost calls on the Biden campaign to launch a disinformation effort by disseminating AI-enhanced videos that make Joe Biden look younger and healthier.
In the article titled, “It’s Time For The Biden Campaign To Embrace AI”, Kaivan Shroff argues that a potential Trump victory is so great that the Biden campaign should push fake content to dupe the public into supporting Biden, claiming refusing to do so “is akin to entering the boxing ring with one hand tied behind your back.”
“The stakes of the 2024 presidential election cannot be overstated. With Donald Trump promising to act as a dictator ‘on day one,’ it is not hyperbolic to say the future of American democracy hangs in the balance,” Shroff wrote Wednesday.
“Against this backdrop, the Biden campaign faces a critical challenge: conveying a strong and effective image of President Joe Biden to a population and media ecosystem increasingly focused on optics over substance. Given the president’s concerning performance last week, it’s time for the Biden campaign to consider leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to effectively reach the voting public.“
.@HuffPost published an essay by a lefty nutter arguing that Biden’s campaign should deceive the public with AI videos (i.e. faked) of the president that make him speak well and look youthful.

“Modern technology offers a clear solution. AI can be used to polish how the president comes across, allowing voters to focus on his substance. How many times have we heard voters and pundits alike gripe that ‘Biden would be the perfect candidate if he were just 10 years younger?’ With modern technology, this exact deliverable is possible.”
Shroff went on to justify the “dishonest and deceptive” practice of AI manipulation for political purposes, arguing the current media environment is no better, citing the recent videos of Biden wandering around and freezing up that the media falsely dubbed as “cheapfakes.”
“Reasonably, some may challenge the use of AI as dishonest and deceptive, but the current information ecosystem is arguably no better. It may even be worse,” he wrote. “Media outlets like the New York Post have engaged in sharing deceptively cropped viral clips of the president, dubbed ‘cheapfakes,’ to make him appear confused or weak.”
Shroff went on to complain about the unfettered information landscape facilitated by Elon Musk’s X amid the constellation of social media platforms that have rigorous censorship policies.
“Social media outlets like Instagram and TikTok have cracked down on political content, while rightwing billionaire Elon Musk has used Twitter to amplify false information about the election and boost Republicans. Even once great institutions like The Washington Post have transitioned into Murdoch-style tabloids,” he wrote.
“We must ask the question, are augmented AI videos that present Biden in his best form ― while sharing honest and accurate information ― really more socially damaging than our information ecosystem’s current realities? I think not.”
Shroff concluded by saying Trump’s probability of retaking the White House is enough justification to leverage the use of AI to improve Biden’s image by any means necessary.
Until now, it has been almost taken as a given that using AI renderings of the president would violate some ethical baseline of campaigning. In an ideal world that may be so. Yet, what last week’s debate made clear is just how far from any such ideal our current reality is. The greatest moral and ethical imperative for those who care about American democracy should be keeping the man who tried to overthrow it as far away from the White House as possible.
Equivocating over the use of AI will do nothing to stop its abuse and misuse should Republicans regain power this November. It is incumbent upon the Biden campaign to use every tool available to make sure the president’s reelection bid is successful. Instead of a new candidate, AI allows Democrats to address the main vulnerabilities of our current standard bearer while embracing an inevitability of modern politics.
The Democrats have become so desperate to prop up Joe Biden that they’re openly scheming how to gaslight the American people even harder going into the presidential election.
After all, the Democrats already tried every other ridiculous lie in the book to excuse Biden’s disastrous debate performance, such as that he had jet lag, and that he had a cold.
Is this a Saturday Night Live skit?

CNN’s Dr. Gupta: ‘Many’ Doctors I Spoke With ‘Pretty Unanimously’ Think Biden Needs More Testing
CNN’s Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta claimed that doctors who spoke to him about their take on last week’s presidential debate “pretty unanimously” believe Joe Biden needs more testing.
“I actually watched the debate from overseas, and, it was interesting, I got so many texts and emails and phone calls from other neurospecialists, from the States and all over the world. A lot of people, Paula, had an opinion on this, and these were medical opinions, opinions, I want to be clear,” Gupta said Friday on CNN International’s “First Move.”
“Nobody is saying there’s anything diagnostic or certain at all, but a lot of people paid attention to that debate. And while I think what they saw wasn’t necessarily new, … I think the idea that it was so pronounced and so sustained over the 90 minutes, I think, was what really got people’s attention. The halting speech, sometimes, the confused rambling, Paula, but also, other things as well, such as reduced volume of speech, that can be something that is important from a neurological perspective.”
“And also, the loss of facial expression, sometimes associated with certain movement disorders, that can also have an impact on cognition,” he continued. “Again, nobody is saying that these things, in and of themselves, are diagnostic of anything.”
“But I think that the message, pretty unanimously, was, it would be recommended by everyone to get more testing to sort of figure out, are we looking at something that is episodic, these little episodes, or is it reflective of something that is deeper, a condition of some sort that could be diagnosed and potentially even treated?” Gupta asked.
Biden has stated that he will remain in the race despite widespread concerns among his party over his declining cognitive and physical acuity, prompting Democrat lawmakers to book meetings this week to discuss his path forward as their presidential candidate.
Watch: Stunning Videos Highlight Biden’s Cognitive Decline in Just the Last 4 Years
Revealing video circulating on social media shows just how far Joe Biden’s cognitive faculties has deteriorated in just the last four years.
Two separate interviews from 2020 and 2024 show the dramatic extent of Biden’s transformation.
In 2020, Biden was slower than in his formative years or while he was vice president, but he was deliberate and cogent, and didn’t slur or forget his words.

It’s the same corrupt, chronic liar — except the cognitive decline is obvious. pic.twitter.com/0oUPcBIiaZ
But by 2024, Biden clearly struggles to articulate his thoughts, his speech is slowed down considerably, and he stares off into space.
For those who regularly pay attention to politics, Biden’s decline has been obvious and consistent, evidenced by his repeated stumbling and falling and nonsensical ramblings during his speeches.
But for the average American, the extent of Biden’s diminished cognitive abilities was shocking to see during the presidential debate, thanks largely to a complicit media that for years has covered up his gaffes, only to suddenly pretend to have discovered Biden’s ailing health along with the rest of the world.
Now that Biden’s electability has all but collapsed in the eyes of the electorate, the mainstream media and Democrats are all too eager to drop Sleepy Joe before Election Day.
Bombshell NYT Expose Details War Crimes By American-Led Volunteer Force In Ukraine
The last many weeks (or even months) of Ukraine coverage by mainstream media has seen a major shift. One might observe that Western reporters are actually starting to do their jobs for a change, and digging into to ‘inconvenient’ truths and stories which a year ago no outlet would have touched amid the general pro-Kyiv euphoria.
A military correspondent with The New York Times has issued the newest bombshell report this weekend which shines a spotlight on not just Ukrainian troops but American and foreign fighters who’ve volunteered with pro-Kyiv forces and have committed potential war crimes. The report, titled Killings of Surrendering Russians Divide an American-Led Unit, reveals how US troops are participating in units which conduct extra-judicial killings of Russians who have legitimately surrendered.
Much of the eyewitness accounts come from a German volunteer identified as Caspar Grosse, a medic in an all-foreign unit led by an American who says he witnessed clear war crimes and that his conscience has forced him to speak out.
He described how last August, a wounded, unarmed Russian soldier was seeking a peaceful surrender by crawling and calling out to Ukrainian front lines. Grosse relates to the Times that he “saw the soldier plead for medical attention in a mix of broken English and Russian. It was dusk. A team member looked for bandages.” And then he was shocked to observe the following turn of events:
That is when, Mr. Grosse said, a fellow soldier hobbled over and fired his weapon into the Russian soldier’s torso. He slumped, still breathing. Another soldier fired — “just shot him in the head,” Mr. Grosse recalled in an interview.
Mr. Grosse said he was so upset by the episode that he confronted his commander. He said he spoke to The New York Times after what he regarded as unwarranted killings continued.
The unit in question goes by the “Chosen Company” – widely considered the most reputable and well-known volunteer group of international troops. Grosse further verified this and other similar incidents in his journal, which he provided the Times.
But the outlet also had video evidence to go on which verified separate such killings. “In a second episode, a Chosen member lobbed a grenade at and killed a surrendering Russian soldier who had his hands raised, video footage reviewed by The Times shows,” it documents. “The Ukrainian military released video of the episode to showcase its battlefield prowess, but it edited out the surrender.” This means Ukraine’s military censors and these volunteer units are literally editing out clear war crimes before releasing to the world what amounts to official propaganda.
And given it was a “Chosen member” who lobbed the grenade, this means a foreign fighter is being singled out by the paper for the extrajudicial killing which violates the Geneva Conventions.
The Times further reviewed text messages from a group chat it has reviewed. “In a third episode, Chosen members boasted in a group chat about killing Russian prisoners of war during a mission in October, text messages show,” the publication writes. “A soldier who was briefly in command that day alluded to the killings using a slang word for shooting.” He said he would take responsibility.:Below are some of the actual group chat messages provided by Grosse:
“If anything comes out about alleged POW blamming, I ordered it,” wrote the soldier, who uses the call sign Andok. He added an image of a Croatian war criminal who died in 2017 after drinking poison during a tribunal at The Hague.
“At the Hague ‘I regret nothing!’” he wrote. It was one of several text messages reviewed by The Times that make reference, directly or obliquely, to killing prisoners. Andok said in an interview that he had been joking.
The report says that a Greek soldier known as Zeus was at the center of multiple episodes that involved killing Russian prisoners or those in the act of surrendering.

“Today a good friend willingly executed a bound prisoner,” a journal entry by Grosse begins, recounting one of the incidents which Zeus was behind. “As the prisoner was sitting in a trench blendage with his jacket draped over his shoulders, Zeus came up behind him and shot him into the back of the head multiple times. Going to bed.”
The NY Times was actually able to track down members of Chosen Company who were involved or who witnessed the alleged killings. In a group chat message, one foreign fighter warned others against “snitching on bros”. The person claimed that “anyone who had spoken to reporters faced years in prison for releasing confidential information.”
“I’d prefer to stop any investigation before it starts and simply say it was a misunderstanding,” the foreign fighter warned, trying to enforce silence among his unit. “End of day, we are brothers.”
Likely, the report is just the tip of the iceberg, and comes after two-and-a-half years of grinding war with Russia. How many other war crimes like this are happening in these foreign units? Until now, the mainstream media has appeared to ignore such abuses taking place among Ukraine forces, instead only focusing on the crimes of the invaders. Likely there are many more such tragic, scandalous accounts like it. Read the rest of the NY Times report here.
Illegal Migrants Vow to Cross English Channel ‘As Soon as Possible’ After Labour Victory
Illegal immigrants in northern France have celebrated Labour’s landslide victory and said they will cross the Channel at the “first chance” they get. The Telegraph has the story.
Migrants in northern France celebrating Labour’s landslide victory have given Sir Keir Starmer a nickname and have vowed to cross the Channel at the “first chance” they get.
Speaking to the Telegraph, some of the migrants welcomed the new Government and said they would risk crossing to the U.K. in small boats as soon as weather permitted.
Sir Keir had vowed to scrap the Rwanda deportation flights on “day one” if Labour reached power.
Most migrants in the Grand-Synthe camp, near Dunkirk, were unaware of the results on Friday morning, but were delighted when told that Rishi Sunak would no longer be Prime Minister.
Amir, 23, a bean-seller from Kurdistan, said migrants had given Sir Keir a nickname that roughly translates as a man who works for refugees or workers.
He said: “We are calling him ‘Party Krekaran’ because we have heard that this guy is really helpful to the refugees.”
Amir added that he would make the crossing “as soon as possible” now Sir Keir was in power, adding: “It’s really good for us. We were really nervous in our countries to travel all the way here and get sent back.
“We no longer live in fear of them sending us to Rwanda. I’ve seen a couple of documentaries, and Rwanda is not the best place.”
Asked whether the result would make it more likely for them to make the crossing, he added: “Yes of course. I want to cross the U.K. as soon as possible. I was really sure that Rishi Sunak was going to lose.”
Halmat Ali, 31, from Iraq paid £3,900 to a smuggler to facilitate the crossing to Britain. He said: “I like Labour Government. I will cross at first chance. They give me hope. I will cross on Sunday when [the] weather is better.”
Home Office figures showed that a record number of migrants crossed the Channel in the first six months of the year, despite the supposed deterrent of the Rwanda scheme.
Some 12,901 people have reached the U.K. this year – up 17% on last year and up 8% on the previous record in 2022.
At the start of his premiership, Rishi Sunak said stopping the boats was one of his five priorities. Announcing his resignation as Tory leader on Friday, he said: “I have heard your anger, your disappointment, and I take responsibility”.

GLOBAL POWER SHIFT IMMINENT! From WW3 To BRICS, Your Money Isn’t Safe!
Josh Sigurdson talks with Mark Gonzales of First National Bullion about the massive global powershift we’re currently seeing take place on a historic scale as globalists plan for the “Great Reset.”
The reset will be both cultural and financial and will end with billions of people on a technocratic cashless system. As the West commits suicide by design, the East is quickly taking over financially. With BRICS+ taking over the entire economic system, launching a new world reserve currency to replace the dollar and with Saudi Arabia joining the coalition, it’s pretty obvious where this is headed.
World War III only adds to the ordeal as Russia builds a new Eurasian version of NATO and demands an end to any anti-Russian sanctions to join the new currency system.
As Western banks collapse and the dollar collapses simultaneously, your money is not safe in a bank. The move to a cashless CBDC system with 15-Minute Cities, digital IDs with social and carbon credits alongside food and electricity rations is obviously the agenda at hand.
Are you prepared? Do you have gold or silver? Do you have wealth insurance?
