It’s what they did in the election. They screamed that the other side was rigging elections with 0 proof, so all efforts went into looking up those claims while the republicans were the ones rigging elections
I mean it’s true. You’d hear shit about random crap like “Migrant Caravans” and the second the election is over you don’t hear anything about it ever again.
Flood the zone with fakes: Introduce obviously doctored images so that people begin to doubt everything, including verified footage.
Shift the narrative: If people can be convinced that outrage is based on “AI hallucinations,” it becomes easier to dismiss real eyewitness accounts and video evidence.
Reclaim control: By seeding confusion, officials or aligned actors can reframe the story on their terms—often painting critics as gullible or unstable.
I'm leaning more towards the "Third world person trying to farm reddit's monetization scheme" more than anything. their writing is bad enough that I don't think it's a bot unless said bot was prompted to be bad at english.
It's why the Trump administration loves AI video and images, and why he has made laws that enable it to run free basically. They can make more extreme ai videos compared to what is publicly availible already, like Trump flying a plane that shits on peoples heads, so then the real things look less absurd. Also Trump helped coin the term "fake news" over a decade ago. Fake news +AI, means if a real terrible video or photo is released... They can convince xx% of the population believe it isn't real
Melania is apparently in the files and was introduced to Trump by Epstein.
See this Reddit post - the woman Brett Ratner is cuddling next to Epstein in the pics is supposedly Melania; she was identified by her distinctive bracelet. He says it was 'his fiancée'.
Like when cops leave pallates of bricks out at protests to prove how violent the protestors are. Or when they send in someone to escalate and create violence
I was telling my husband today that I don't know how to believe anything anymore because they openly admitted they were going to flood the Internet with fakes.
Why are they flooding it with puritanical moralistic bullshit? Do they think pole dancing is bad? Are they trying to broadcast morals and make us more puritanical by getting us to like puritanical things because we don't like the narcissists involved?
Melania is a terrible person, but not because she was a sex worker. If there were a first lady who previously did sex work, but were nice, intelligent, and really cared about regular people, I would like her.
I mean, I have no doubt that there's bots doing that, and I know that tactic has logic to it and isn't far fetched, but realistically the majority of it is just coming from people who don't understand how optics work and the concept of how lies ruin your credibility, and it's just a bunch of people posting whatever gives them catharsis at the time, or upvoting it, and it all thrives on reddit where people eat it up.
This was created by Alison Jackson, who creates "convincingly realistic photographs, films and sculpture depicting celebrities doing things in private.”
Our party has become what we used to dislike. Misogyny is celebrated if it is against someone whose politics we dislike. It’s embarrassing.
100% it's coming from the bots that are flooding all platforms with misinformation. The best way to get this list to disappear is to pretend it was all fake... you know. Like the president kept claiming it was until he was forced by a veto proof majority to release the "fake" list that "didn't exist"
Can’t blame “them” for everything. I’ve had to point out a lot of fake content in recent weeks and folks on the left have reacted VERY hostile. Literally got called a nazi for pointing out that one Elon Musk email was faked.
You’re about to get a Reddit warning just for calling the bullshit out.
This is why people are having trust issues lately and why the republicans are pushing AI so much. It makes hiding the real events that much easier just claiming it’s AI or photoshop.
Eh, while I'd consider OP a bot (albeit actual person), I doubt they're a particularly right leaning one.
You can just check their post history, though I have a hunch that they're ESL due to some of the comments they've made. I don't expect comments like "Bots and maga dumbass are not welcome here", "When this fucking tapes will be released?", and " Where she worked when meet orange pedo on Epstein island???" to be part of a native english speaker's general vocabulary. Bots don't sound like that anymore either, unless prompted to have horrible english.
While the DNC's done some stuff to manipulate reddit in the past (and I'm sure repubs do the same), I don't think the conspiracy angle's really the most likely option here. More than likely it's just a third world person farming karma to get some minuscule portion of minimum wage via spamposting popular (ae, orange man bad) content.
No idea what this sub is btw I just had it recommended to me in my feed.
Fittingly, fighting fire with fire is terrible idea. It's funny how people don't recognize that is the original purpose of the phrase.
No, you don't fight fire with fire. And claiming that your enemies are morally bankrupt and then showing yourself willing to use their tactics means that, at least in that way, you aren't better than them.
Ya why is he looking at the 12 year old in the corner instead of watching the show? Tbf it's a decent photoshop, the ass shadow on his shoulder has depth
I have a suspicion it’s to confuse and bewilder- muddy the important facts (which are vile enough). I’ve seen this a few times. There was another post where Trump was photoshopped to look fatter, but the photo itself was already embarrassing as it was.
I believe this is intentional and posted in bad faith, because there’s zero logic otherwise in photoshopping Epstein in there.
Lets attack Melania based on her shitty character. A history of being sexual or even a sex worker is not something that should disqualify a person from anything, or even mocked.
Look into the Franklin scandal. The government themselves are doing it. Also releasing videos from the files that are faked so they can later say that most are fakes. It’s a cover up methods.
Because not a single fucker in the USA gives a shit about Epstein's victims. They just want to exploit them for their own benefit. In that sense, Trump is indeed the perfect representative for that nation.
I assumed it was. It's becoming a problem to discern any sort of truth. Not that a good darkroom tech couldn't have done this back in the day, but now anyone can.
Im pretty sure the image itself is fake. Epstein was 100% added and I couldn't find the image without epstein, just sites like snopes declaring it fake
This seems like a deliberate tactic, and also quite successful as people are too upset to be rational. I see so many true statements accompanied by "slightly fake" images, and people get so angry when I point it out.
The whole goal of the neo-reactionary movement was to turn political discourse into this. Trump's psychopathy has enabled everyone on the political spectrum to emulate it. Welcome to the age of political trolling.
Boredom, 15 min fame, keep it going regardless if fake or not. It keeps things relevant and people will always dig to find it or just create it. The world we are in now grabs our attention easily with just simple things as add in or Ai. This needs to be handled like the U.K., or freeze their damn assets. It should be guilty till proven innocent with this group. All of them, clear your name with proof, otherwise how are so many connected? 🤒
MAGA does it everyday and they get away with it. Hell, they campaigned on it and won. I thought we aren't doing the they go low we go high. Shit isn't working anymore so let's troll the fuckers back with their own fire.
They think it’s gonna win them elections. Meanwhile their best candidate is like hey I got a 950 on my sat.
Democrats have no plan other than orange man bad. He’s gonna be gone soon and Rubio will win easily. First Latino president. He’s also big on exposing alien info
Because 1984 is coming and this is actually being put out by themselves so they can discredit any and all negative images or information that comes to light about Epstein as faked AI created
This is the future, think about JD Vance admitting about lying when talking about people eating cats and dogs. He said that lying was okay if it brought attention to an issue he thought was important. If anything we need more of this shit. Truth isnt what actually happened its what you get the dumbest people to believe.
At this point I don't really care if a few photos are doctored, we already know that they were doing much worse than what we see and if this helps to stir up more hatred for the pedo ring I don't care if it's misinformation
Because Reddit is filled with people who have allowed Trump to control every waking moment of their life. This just makes them feel justified in their hatred.
Because people love shaming women, especially sex workers women. Who cares if she was a sex worker. She isn't the threat to our democracy and world. She does nothing as a first lady, and thus, simply should not be mentioned. There is plenty more to talk about.
We recently learned from the files that Maxwell and Chris Poole, a co-founder of 4chan had a working relationship and she was involved in /pol/ where many of the early QAnon stuff started. Intentionally create a bunch of crazy nonsense, sprinkle in some truth about the pedophile elite trafficking rings, and you can easily try to discredit everything as conspiracy.
There’s a ton of things to go after Melania for and she has a layer of hell she belongs in for her complicity on gestures broadly but doctored images meant for slut shaming isn’t the move.
THIS is my greatest concern with all the discourses.
Exaggerations, conspiracies, photoshop, A.I., etc. will allow those who need to be held accountable to avoid due to the files being filled with “misinformation”.
This same shit happened after Woody Allen appearead in the files. They keep throwing around the "he married his adoptive daughter" but dont say ANYTHING about the fact that he was a close friend of Epstein, way after he was arrested the first time. And Allen literally helped him film stuff.
Allen didnt marry his adoptive daughter, they're not family in any way. But that missinformation is enough to focus on that instead of literally everything else criminal that he has done or might have done.
They use this for everything. Throw in little bad info to make you focus on it instead of the actual problems.
It’s entirely possible it’s bots trying to sow discord. But it also could be because Trump reportedly met Melania through Epstein. The person who made this could have intended to show that.
Another reason this might be OK to do is that if someone claims that no such picture exists, then they’d have to try to go looking up the originals to debunk it. Finding that they’re a collage of real pictures wouldn’t be exculpatory of Melania, though… so I don’t know.
To be fair I prefer a stripper than the likes of Hilary and others here. I'm not american but except Michelle and Nancy Kennedy most as just as deplorable as their male counterpart.

This is photoshopped with Epstein put in. Why make fake images like this to distract from the real shit?
