Something veeery interesting happened today that makes me smile in a curious way. Could it be happiness that Truth will always reveal, regardless of beliefs or how one feels? Yes, that's it, and i never will quit. Truth is the guide when you seek and not forfeit. Being reminded once again to follow the gut at all costs. If wrong, learn and move on. And of course never doubt that God is the boss.
From a commentators chat channel i was banned, the 1 out of 2 that i give some attention. Apparently she didn't like my comments and where i stand, so she put me in permanent detention. She accused me of casting doubt when questioning this photo. The ego burst out revealing her mojo. I was not rude or disrespectful, doubts are part of the way. To discerning the truth no matter what others say.
I stated some observances on the look of the picture, only to be insulted(not at all really not surprised) and given a lecture on truth and integrity and whatever the rest. You need to slow your roll lady and put yourself to the test. Mentioned that i work in tech and how easily one can be duped. Oh she didn't like that at all, and in defense blocked me from her group. I think it's wonderful indeed, and there is no debate. God is the only thing that's great, and Truth is about Faith and our ultimate Fate.
Anyone out there with ai skills that may know whether the photo is real or a fake? It's heart tugging at best but the overall bigger message is that children's lives are at stake, in every possible way. Something's not right with the image and how it got used to get some message out there. Whether it's real or not, ultimately she didn't care. Nor allow someone to question, which she claims was rude. Truth doesn't care about feelings or moods. This reaction seems contrary to the real fight and burdens we all must bare. I choose to pause, take a step back, question and stay aware.
WE ARE AT WAR! With mountains of distorted information..yet she says, "What the hell does it matter if it gets peoples attention in the right way."..with such hateful indignation..
IT MATTERS what we see, and the torturous practice and process that it takes, to discern what is real or controlled or fake. "What the hell does it matter?" Wow, quite a jest. Guess truth doesn't matter when one puffs up their chest.
IT MATTERS, we shall see, on this arduous road full of ugly and beauty. Seeking Truth above all else is our only duty!
Here's some recollection(for the most part almost verbatim) of what was posted and certainly not boasted. The memory is sharp and i won't ever let anyone try to keep me in the dark.
My comment--
"This photo is heartbreaking. Yes it's important to dissect the photos to make sure they're not ai generated."
She replies--
"The picture has been verified by Al experts as authentic and everything in it. If you have an issue with that provide evidence rather than casting doubt."
My reply--
"I don't have an issue and I'm not casting doubt. I was agreeing with you based on your comment in your video that photos should be checked to make sure they're not ai generated, and you were thankful to Jason Goodman for confirming."
Who is Mr. Goodman? I do not know. Maybe he's the next 'expert' soon to be aired on her show.
She replies with a 'warning'--
"I'm not going to say it again. Experts have verified it as an authentic photo and what the hell does it matter if it gets peoples attention in the right way and gets the message across as to the plight of the people there?"
Then i thought--hmmm something's not right here...maybe i should follow my initial reaction of the photo instead of giving the benefit of the doubt, so i dissected it again jotting down the things that stood out...then did some digging only to find that others also noticed the same as i...needless to say she did not like my next reply--
"On second thought there might be some doubt. A few things in the photo really stand out.
1. The background blurry haze is common with ai photos. The child and puppy are very clear but the men in the boat behind are not that far away yet barely visible.
2. The face and hands of the child don't look right and the puppy looks too perfect. The child's face has a bit of contortion and the hands seem oddly shaped. It is known that with ai it's difficult to duplicate hands.
3. The boat behind has what appears to be a very tall man standing in it and considering how large he looks it's strange there's no tilt to the boat.
4. Who took this picture so up close and personal? It's not impossible but especially in a moment of such devastation? Was it the person steering the 'boat'? Someone else? Who took the photo and then it somehow blew up on social media with no background or info about it except possibly referencing north carolina?"
Bam! Banned! Wow! No consideration or discussion or response to valid questions. Just cut it off like a blister infection. She said something about being threatened over the years. And now claiming by me? What a bunch of boloney. That's a bully manipulative tactic to ignore the full story, of the photo, which is all that i was after. This is funny after all, let's stick to the laughter. Whether it's all nothing or something, sounds like she doesn't support thinking and would rather people be dummies blindly listening to anyone no questions asked just clueless mindless mummies. Let me tell ya honey. I'm always grateful and it appears you do some good things, but that accusatory uncalled for attitude and unwillingness to listen yet you claim to be for truth...Well, the bees have more wisdom than anything you're tryin to sell. "Does it matter? What the hell?" Truth is truth and time will tell.
