Video Tech Carries Us Into the Age of Deception

What if someone could make a video that appeared to show Billy Graham denouncing the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

What if someone could make a video that made it appear that your local pastor was sitting at a strip club, drinking beer and smoking a joint?

What if someone makes a video that appears to show Putin saying he is going to take over the world and plans to invade Eastern Europe tomorrow?

And once the video is online it could go viral and be spread over the entire world and impossible to erase.

How is the world who is watching these things with their own eyes ever going to determine whether it's authentic or not?

Alec Baldwin is to some a perfect stand-in for President Trump. But in a digitally-altered video online, the president's face has been digitally stamped onto Baldwin's performance.

It's part of a wave of doctored audio and video now spreading online.

"The idea that someone could put another person's face on an individual's body, that would be like a homerun for anyone who wants to interfere in a political process," said Virginia Senator Mark Warner. He believes manipulated video could be a game-changer in global politics.

"This is now going to be the new reality, surely by 2020, but potentially even as early as this year," he said.

"Derpfakes" is the anonymous YouTuber who has made fake videos of President Trump, Hillary Clinton and Vladimir Putin, based off of performances by the cast of "Saturday Night Live."

In a message to CBS News, he said he does it for "fun." And though he sees the potential for fake news, he adds: "People will have to adapt as the tech is here to stay."

Hany Farid runs a lab at Dartmouth College aimed at exposing digital fakes.

Correspondent Tony Dokoupil asked Farid, "Are we ready for this?"

"No. We are absolutely not ready for this. We are absolutely not ready for it," Farid replied. "On so many different levels, we're not ready for it."

Does the Bible say that the Last Days are going to be FILLED with deception?

Yep.

Are the masses of people seeing video on their cell phones going to be able to determine whether it's true or not?

Nope.

It's called MANIPULATING THE MASSES and the Antichrist will be an absolute master at it.
