They told people they would be saved from sure death or their act would save others from sure death.
False sacrifice, false salvation.
The majority fell prey to the marketing of the good news of the sacrifice being already made so there would never again be need for sacrifice as bad news.
Once they believed that, then they were open to believe anything.
It is the greatest deception ever, even the elect have been fooled.
It's biblical.
Ok been mulling over this with some in the digital affects industry, because it's kind of fun game. Here is the final conclusion o Asai musings with the second most probable first:
#2 They do interviews using AI powered avatars from their private DUMBS to keep the show on the road and the masses clueless until the bitter end.
#1 This guy is so vain and has enough money he has paid programmers to tweak or create a specific vanity filter to hide his flabby neck in video conference calls and TV appearances.
Go do a image search and see for yourself. - I think #1 is on the money.
Only a reptile would be that vain and stoopid! ;)
Why are you screwing around with AI?
Use a search engine.
