(Don’t miss my new book, Order of the Eye: the Secret Force that Runs the World. This is by far my most exhaustive and important writing to date.)
With the release of my new book (above), I have decided to provide select sections for my beloved readers. It is my hope that these sections will be highly informative, and that they might give you reason to further explore the book.
Below is the first section I am releasing (pages 23-28 of the paperback). I pray you enjoy it.

Yet another way that we are now being manipulated—whether by the media or private citizens—is seen in what is called “deepfaking.”
A deepfake is essentially a computer simulation of a real person, and it is primarily brought to us through the behemoth called “Artificial Intelligence,” or simply AI. In deepfaking, creators can dress up anyone in a virtual world and present them to the public as though they are real. The facial movements and voices can be synced up to perfection, and the sound of the simulation’s voice is often a spot-on match with the real person.
Obviously, the messages they speak can also be manipulated to make the figure—which is typically a person of notoriety—say anything the creator desires. Want to hear “Barak Obama” say incredible things about Donald J. Trump, or hear “Trump” talk about shredding the American electoral process? Or perhaps you’d rather hear “Elon Musk” rail about some new technology or a type of AI program that doesn’t even exist yet. All this, and so much more, can be done. Not only can it be done, but it is often impossible to tell whether we are watching that person speak or not.
It is that convincing.
To prove the point, consider what the practice of deepfaking can conjure into reality. There is a social media influencer named “Lil Miquela” who started her profile in 2016 and quickly amassed over 3 million followers on Instagram. Miquela is a Brazilian-born model who often posts about her extravagant LA lifestyle.[1] This includes photoshoots, product endorsements, and social activism issues that are consistent with our corrupt culture. Amazingly, her account was hacked in 2018, and it was uncovered that “Lil Miquela” doesn’t exist at all; she’s nothing more than a computer-generated façade.
Even more incredible is that her account continued, for a time, to grow followers even after this discovery. Though she is now labeled as a “fictional character” or “influencer robot” and “her” following has currently dropped to around 2.6 million, countless people were effortlessly fooled into believing that they were idolizing an authentic celebrity. Nothing about Lil Miquela was ever real, but it was to the millions who fawned after the faux figure.
Let’s examine another example, and this one should hit home for anyone who professes to be a Christian. On Spotify, Solomon Ray was once described as a “Mississippi-made soul singer carrying a Southern soul revival into the present.”[2] Ray is often pictured on covers with his beautiful wife and children, and Ray himself is a rather well-dressed and handsome man.
In the fall of 2025, Ray released a Christmas EP called A Soulful Christmas. On the EP are featured tracks with titles like “Soul to the World” and “Jingle Bell Soul.” He currently draws nearly 600,000 monthly listeners and, in November of 2025, he became the top artist on the iTunes top 100 Christian and gospel albums chart.[3] His songs have trended all over social media and are celebrated within both the Christian community and those outside of it. The only problem is, as you might now imagine, Ray isn’t a real person. Like Lil Miquela, he is AI-generated.
Only a week prior to Ray’s massive breakthrough, an AI-generated song called “Walk My Walk” (by Breaking Rus) topped Billboard’s Country Digital Song Sales chart and totaled 3 million streams on Spotify. As one article astutely summarized things:
“AI-generated music is no longer a laughline or niche tech interest. More listeners are encountering songs created by algorithms and machines, whether by choice or by accident.”[4]
For any newer or unrecognized song you might hear today, there is literally no way of knowing whether it was written and performed by a flesh and blood human being or by an AI-generated bot. We simply cannot trust what we hear.
This phenomenon has long been true regarding the images we can produce as well. The hard truth is that we have all seen far more doctored pictures than we could ever know. This practice is often called “Fauxtography,” and it is utterly rampant in our time. One of my personal favorites is a photo of Joe and Jill Biden when they allegedly met with former president and first lady, Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter. The photo was posted to The Carter Center’s (then) Twitter page on May 3, 2021, and it joyously read:
“We’re pleased to share this wonderful photo from the @POTUS and @FLOTUS visit to see the Carters in Plains, Ga.! Thank you President and Mrs. Biden!”
The picture sports Joe Biden kneeling next to Rosalynn, and Jill kneeling next to Jimmy. Though Joe and Jimmy are supposed to be roughly the same height, as are Jill and Rosalynn,[5] the photo reveals an incredible disparity in height. Joe and Jill alike tower over the Carters, both showing a height discrepancy reminiscent of Shaquille O’Neal sitting next to Jackie Chan. This is only a slight exaggeration. It would be humorous, except for the fact that it is yet another lie we have been fed, if only a small one.
This image can still be seen all over the internet, at least at the time this was written. In truth, the photo looks like something out of the Lord of the Rings trilogy: like Gandalf and Aragorn sitting next to hobbits Frodo and Sam. It’s so utterly absurd, even upon a preliminary glance, that a small child would be able to spot its lack of authenticity.
Yet, the media could still be counted on to defend one of its darlings. As Scott Stump of Today explained things—in an article that begins with the words, “Honey, they shrunk the Carters”—there was nothing strange about any of it: “It’s most likely because a wide-angle lens was used in the photo and distorted their sizes to make those closest to the camera look huge and those farther away look smaller.”[6] There you have it; we are dealing with a mere camera lens phenomenon. Whatever the reasons for faking the photo (and probably the visit, in general), we can be sure it was indeed faked.
These days, we have no way of verifying almost any similar event.
As previously mentioned, these types of “fauxtographs” appear all over the internet. An article on fauxtography from the California Museum of photography plainly revealed our current situation: “We live in a golden age of lying. Photographs are now crucial building blocks in the superstructure of falsehood, their deceptive powers amplified by vast circulation on the internet.”[7] Consider that remark: “a golden age of lying.”
While this statement is valid, a lot of the pictures we see online today are not. In the summer of 2023, a fauxtograph of Tom Hanks circulated on the internet. In it, Hanks sported a shirt that read: “Keep America Trumpless.”[8] While one can easily imagine such a thing, the picture was widely said to be fake. Was it? Who can really say. Two articles were written later in the same year that discussed the circulating images of Osama Bin Laden meeting (separately) with Barak Obama, Condoleezza Rice, Hillary Clinton, and even Tupac Shakur.[9] All were later reported to be fake.
There have even been doctored images of Leonardo da Vinci and the “Mona Lisa” model that have circulated throughout the web over the years.[10] As you can imagine, such images range from the completely believable to the utterly absurd. We are no longer talking about grainy pictures of “Bigfoot” that are clearly just a man strutting along in an ape suit. Rather, we are dealing with images that trained professionals sometimes have a difficult time either debunking or verifying.
The obvious problem is that, as with deep faking, it’s often difficult to tell which images are authentic. While any media outlet can claim that a photograph is indeed a fauxtograph, it’s not always clear that it is. This is especially true for those who have neither the time nor the desire to vet every image they come across. I mean, who can?
This leads to perhaps the most problematic issue with both deepfakes and fauxtographs, which is that these widespread practices also cast doubt on authentic works. Think about it: if videos and pictures can so easily be falsified, then it also means that genuine videos and pictures can be more easily discredited. One can simply call a real video a “deepfake,” or a real picture a “fauxtograph.” Again, we are often left needing the media to tell us the “truth” on that matter.
Hopefully, this conundrum—and its many destructive implications—is apparent. We now live in a time when many genuine images are “fakes,” and many “fakes” are genuine images. This reveals the heart of the problem: how can we ever tell what is what? Really, how can we? As technology increases and the average person has even greater tools at their disposal, this issue will become more challenging. To properly state things, this will make discerning reality virtually impossible.
Just like the explosion of misinformation, revised and deleted information, and the entire swarm of media lies we are now faced with, the things we physically observeare also being manipulated. This is not happening on a small scale, either. The entire world of media and social media has become nothing short of a matrix of lies and deceptions. We can scarcely tell—even when we are really trying to—what is true and what is not, or what is real and what is not. What can be done when we no longer have access to the happenings of reality? Where can we go when all truth is lost, and we are caught within this macabre matrix? Well, such questions are no longer for the future.
This matrix is creating far more of an existential crisis than almost anyone realizes. The student of history might realize where this sort of scenario is taking us. In times of great uncertainty, chaos and, most importantly, confusion, the masses turn toward what could be called the “tribal authorities.” That is, we look to those in charge to make sense of things.
The COVID-19 crisis is probably the most powerful example of this in all of history, which is why it has been discussed and will be again later in the book. We sit now at the precipice of a reality that is sure to come and will fully manifest very soon. This is a reality where almost nothing can be known for sure. Every picture, video, song, article, piece of evidence, and literally every word spoken on the world’s stage will be impossible to discern. Everything can be faked; it can all be contrived.
History—or what’s left of it—will have been completely rewritten, and it will be only the future that is certain. The world will even further rely upon those in charge—our news outlets, political leaders, and global icons. It will rely upon those tribal authorities that have the microphone and create the narratives. People will go with whatever is most familiar and is most socially acceptable.
In short, humanity will be funneled into the very system that the Order of the Eye is creating.
