The Propaganda Playbook: Deepfakes (That Wasn’t Your Grandson)

🔴 WATCH THE FULL SECRETS OF PROPAGANDA:

A U.S. Senate candidate looked straight into the camera and said words he never said. A grandmother got a phone call in her grandson’s exact voice. The White House is publishing AI-generated content, and one platform was producing 6,700 fake explicit images of real people every hour. In this episode of The Propaganda Playbook, I break down the deeper propaganda shift underneath all of it — the one Jacques Ellul predicted in 1962 when he warned that propaganda would stop being a campaign and become the environment itself. Then I show you the line every entrepreneur needs to understand: when AI is amplifying truth, when it is fabricating trust, and why that difference may decide the future of marketing, politics, and reality itself. If you’ve ever wondered whether AI is just a tool — or whether the machine is now shaping what you believe, fear, and buy — this is the episode.
