I saw the fake "Musk" ad again today after a reel about the future as seen from the past. It wasn't a news anchor, but White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, standing behind her lectern, in front of the White House logo, saying they had a "leaked" video of Musk warning about the dangers of metformin. When "Musk" started what sounded like a typical online ad, including mentioning a "30-second kitchen trick" and "30-second tea trick" I knew it was fake.

I can't seem to save the intro, but I saved the link it went to, which has an Ai "Sean Hannity" (under a non-linkable "FOX NEWS logo, making it seem like this was a NEWS piece) introduce an Ai "Musk" at a "MAHA conference" (there's no such thing), who then introduces this British-accented (actually, she's Australian, it seems) female "doctor" (not an MD, it seems) I've seen in many similar online ads (turns out, she too, is not really part of this, but also was hijacked by the scammers). And after the buildup, and following the standard ad template to the letter, it's all about selling pills. (And "the next nine minutes" turns into more than a half hour!)

All I could do was report this fake misrepresentation to Fecesbook, as a "fake celebrity impersonation" but, having reported frauds to FB in the past (like counterfeit US postage stamps that the USPS has declared as counterfeit) I know Farcebook will do NOTHING to stop such frauds, which they claim "does not violate our Community Standards" because they will do nothing to stop any flow of income to them, even if fraudulent.

I saw a new ad today, on Fecesbook, that I knew was of the same ilk, because it started with "ABC World News Tonight with David Muir" (clearly a deep fake heist of Muir) "reporting on" a "30-second ritual"! That was all I needed to hear to know it was FAKE, FAKE, FAKE!!!

Then the chyron blurts out "BREAKING NEWS/ VIRAL RITUAL STUNS EXPERTS" "Dubbed the Third-Eye Awakening" and "THIRD EYE HACK CHANGES ALL"! And, fortunately for us all, ABC News has obtained a "copy" of the "documentary" which "you must watch" before it's taken down "again."

Of course, the "brief" documentary "banned in 65 countries" is almost an hour long!

It follows EVERY trope that EVERY other such deep fake AD for PILLS (not revealed as such until near the end) utilizes, which you can, of course, buy in lots of 1, 3, or 6 --"for the best price!"-- with a mixture of real facts, made-up BS backstory, a narrator who "chooses not to reveal his face for fear of retribution by those powers who would silence him," and much mumbo jumbo that combines known facts (and some esoteric reveals) about the pineal gland and some blather about ancient Egyptian tombs and secret texts found there that detailed a secret formula to decalcify and activate the powers hidden in that mid-brain organ. (Turns out I take most of the ingredients in their formula, because I know of their value).

But what irks me is that this is so much like every other similar ad that uses deceptive deep fake intros to hook you into believing it's more than just an ad for pills, which it invariably turns out to be, complete with every other trope that must have been group-tested and proven to work to sucker the gullible into buying whatever they're selling.

Here's the URL the Farcebook link leads to. I don't expect you to waste an hour watching it all, though it does have some interesting material about the pineal gland that more persons should know about, particularly how it is negatively impacted by fluoride and other toxins, and, yes, studies have shown that certain mushrooms and other natural remedies, like chlorella and amla, CAN reverse such damage and improve pineal function. BUT, as this ad is so full of deception and hokum, I would strongly advise NOT dealing with such unscrupulous characters:
