The recent spate of claims, such as the current one that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/planned-parenthood-doctor-tells-congress-men-can-get-pregnant-this-is-medicine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">men can have babies<\/a>, has carried the Nietzschean ideal to the summit of absurdity.<\/p>\n<p>The adage still fuels progressive zeal, though the more subtle of them are now attempting to camouflage \u201cno truths\u201d as truth.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent airing of CNN Audio\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/audio\/podcasts\/axe-files\/episodes\/d1da1b16-d9a5-4b91-8397-b021016e0494\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Axe Files<\/a>,\u201d former Obama White House senior adviser David Axelrod interviewed his former boss. During the interview, Obama suggested using \u201cdigital fingerprints\u201d to protect \u201ctruth\u201d from the barrage of misinformation attempting to undermine it, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/obama-suggests-digital-fingerprints-counter-misinformation-we-know-whats-true-not-true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a>.Watch the latest video at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\">foxnews.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The irony, of course, is that the \u201ctruth\u201d Obama seeks to protect is that of the left\u2019s own making. This so-called \u201ctruth\u201d and its relationship with reality are contingent upon the relative needs of the progressive agenda. This makes \u201ctruth\u201d a moving target. If it furthers the leftist cause, it\u2019s true; if not, it\u2019s misinformation.<\/p>\n<h3>Obama&#8217;s Deepfake Dilemma<\/h3>\n<p>Axelrod guided the interview by informing Obama he has seen \u201cmisinformation, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/two-raging-liberals-get-scared-off-twitter-musk-cesspool-racism-anti-semitism-disinformation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">disinformation<\/a> and deepfakes\u201d targeting his former boss. This opened the door for Obama to respond with, \u201cAs I\u2019ve told people, because I was the first digital president when I left office, I was probably the most recorded, filmed, photographed human in history, which is kind of a weird thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One might ask if it was the kind of weirdness that can fill a man to the brim with hubris.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a consequence,\u201d Obama deduced, \u201cthere\u2019s a lot of raw material there.\u201d Obama said the \u201cdeepfakes\u201d of him \u2014\u00a0 defined as digitally manipulated images, audio or video that appear legitimate \u2014 began with a version of him dancing and \u201csaying dirty limericks,\u201d according to Fox.<\/p>\n<p>There <em>is<\/em> a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/life-sentence-criminal-released-obama-charged-attempted-murder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Obama<\/a> footage out there. And some of it\u2019s not good for Obama\u2019s preferred image. After all, he is still attempting to remain relevant. In all likelihood, he is no longer the \u201cmost recorded, filmed, photographed human in history.\u201d The world has moved on. And so has technology.<\/p>\n<p>Obama claimed it was only going to get worse. \u201cThat technology\u2019s here now,\u201d Obama said. \u201cSo, most immediately we\u2019re going to have all the problems we had with misinformation before. [T]his next election cycle will be worse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What to do? Wait for it\u2026<\/p>\n<h3>The Quest for &#8220;Digital Fingerprints&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>Obama suggested \u201cdigital fingerprints\u201d to discern truth from misinformation. \u201cAnd the need for us, for the general public, I think to be more discriminating consumers of news and information, the need for us to over time develop technologies to create watermarks or digital fingerprints so we know what is true and what is not true.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s one way of saying it. Another way is, \u201cProgressives (I prefer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/appeasement-biden-cowers-murderous-latin-marxists-whove-killed-tens-thousands\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Marxists<\/a>) need to hurry and develop technology so they can declare, once and for all, who is licensed to speak \u2018truth\u2019 and who is not. He who does not agree with us, will not receive a license. Those who peddle truth without a license will be punished.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In other words, the \u201ctruth\u201d for progressives is merely an image made by man for man. It has nothing to do with man being made in the image of God so he can participate in truth in order to discern it.\u00a0 When Obama and his ilk are asked, \u201cWhat is truth?\u201d their answer \u2014 if they were capable of being honest \u2014 would be, \u201cWhatever we say it is.\u201d They willingly play the part of Pontius Pilate.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not hyperbole. Remember the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-received-massive-help-51-intel-agents-2020-debate-trump-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hunter Biden laptop coverup<\/a>\u00a0and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/public-demands-clinton-held-accountable-courtroom-revelation-personally-greenlit-trump-russia-hoax\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Russian collusion hoax<\/a>? Both were attempts to create truth through image, or at least bend it to their will. Neither corresponded with reality.<\/p>\n<p>Obama and Axelrod went on to discuss how many consumers only access information from sources they agree with. Obama, referring to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/family-24-year-old-died-covid-vaccine-files-groundbreaking-lawsuit-biden-administration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">COVID<\/a>, then said, \u201cObviously, we saw that during the vaccination stuff. So, I am concerned about it. And I think the best we\u2019re going to be able to do is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nolte-donald-trumps-favorability-rating-now-5-points-higher-than-joe-bidens\/\" title=\"Nolte: Donald Trump's Favorability Rating Now 5 Points Higher Than Joe Biden's\">constantly remind people<\/a> that this is out there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Remind people about what? That if you don\u2019t comply with government demands you might <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/teachers-vindicated-fired-refusing-covid-vaccine-get-job-offers-school-district-big-payment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lose your job<\/a> or worse?<\/p>\n<p>Obama went on to say, \u201cI am worried about that kind of cynicism developing even further during the course of this next election.\u201d Really? From one of the most cynical men I\u2019ve seen in my life? Remember <a href=\"https:\/\/www.christianitytoday.com\/news\/2008\/april\/obama-they-cling-to-guns-or-religion.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Obama\u2019s guns and religion\u00a0speech<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p>Come on, Obama, you can do better than that.<\/p>\n<h3>The Battle for Truth<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cThere are no truths, only interpretations.\u201d Progressives still cling to Nietzsche\u2019s adage as a major weapon in their war on Western values and traditions. They use it in an attempt to sever the correspondence between language and truth.<\/p>\n<p>It won\u2019t work. \u201cIn the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=John+1%3A1&#038;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">John 1:1<\/a>) The truth is God\u2019s, not man\u2019s.
