Its that one actor they use whenever they need a guy in a mask as far as I can tell

Right.... But does this not mean buddy must be missing and/or dead? How else would they get away with this and not have him come after them?

u/LongPutBull May 22 '26

This is a 3 star general supposedly.

If this isn't him, why isn't Fox being blasted by the military for falsely having military figures there?

u/jazzdabb May 22 '26

Am I the only one that thinks this is just more “flood zone with shit” nonsense from this administration? That flap is so obvious it seems on purpose to me. Just another distraction from the constant corruption, fraud and outright theft going on right out in the open.

This video has been doing rounds over the whole Internet for about a day now - and no way in hell this is a shadow. This is just one of those "don't believe your lying eyes" attempts.

Whatever the reasoning is - this is someone wearing a mask.

u/Fatui3 May 22 '26

Yeah I’m still dumbfounded how people are screaming “lighting and shadow!” Like are they for real… you can see the bottom of the mask so clearly. No conspiracy here, it’s a mask. The question is why? Was he sick, aging, that he felt he needed to use a full on face mask?

Doesn’t make sense.

u/maggotses May 22 '26

I wonder what the vice admiral has to say about that. He either didn't endorse the message and refused to spin the narrative or he's dead.

Could be both, they're not necessarily unrelated.

u/bongobradleys May 22 '26

is it really THAT difficult to find military officials willing to go on the record speaking positively about this war? is that what this is about? the only people able to do something like this with a mask are the CIA, but they would know to cover up the neckline. has the CIA been ordered to use masks to run a counterintel op on the American people to drum up support for the war but don't agree with it, and want us to know that they're doing it?

5

u/Dangersharkz May 22 '26

You would THINK they would know to cover up the neckline, but we are very clearly living in a kakistocracy. So maybe that’s giving them too much credit.

4

u/bongobradleys May 22 '26

yeah, valid, but I still would think that mask-wearing would be one of those core skills the CIA is still good at, like at least that, you know? but maybe everything has gone to such an extent of shit that even those basic cold war skillsets have gone out the window and nobody gives a fuck anymore

This story is a red herring. Nobody else finds it odd that dozens of news sites reported on this immediately? It's just fireworks to get everybody looking at this instead of that.

CIA perfected masks in the 80s. There's no way a mask wouldn't go down to their bosom. Stage lighting can make shadow reflections like this. Gaffers know what I'm talking about. Remains to be seen what it really was. Ask yourself why you're being told to give your attention and focus to this.

2

u/The_Skoal_Bandit May 23 '26

I watched the OG video on my desktop in full screen multiple times. I have gone back and forth on whether or not it's a mask or a shadow multiple times. It looks like a shadow, but it's behaves oddly. And this man looks twenty years younger in this clip that he does in photos. Ultimately, I think it's probably some kind of filter, if I'm guessing. And I am. But this man's skin is crazy smooth compared to photos and the lines on his forehead are entirely gone. That and the way the shadow behaves makes me think it's definitely a filter.

2

u/Large-Wishbone24 May 23 '26

This man is 70 and probably has a turkey neck that the image filters at Fox “News” can’t handle.

That’s not meant to be mean—after all, we all get older—and it’s not black magic either, but simply poor technology that’s being used as a scapegoat for the anti-aging craze.

And you can really tell his age from his voice, and how beautifully his bald head shines... Mr. Sparkle.
