Stop the Presses!!

We pause the program of capturing and indexing frame grabs from POTUS Trump's "Asia Visit" video for this public announcement:

EVERYONE: Who do you think the fellow in black is?

Surely looks like the guy I refer to as, "CLFK" to me!

And those little red flags the kids are waving definitely have little , lone gold stars on them...

~~~~~~~~~~~

OK, fellow FReepers: what do you think?

[txhurl]

Dunno, but he seems to be sporting a lot of red groupie lipstick.

I think it’s Xi and those are Chinese flags. My opinion He looks more like Xi.

Who is CLFK...that looks like Xi to me. Same haircut, same facial dimensions and shape, same hair outline.

Guy on the left looks like China’s leader Xi.

[It had me going until I checked the flags. The DPRK flag has a RED star in a white circle. That's the Chinese flag & probably Xi...]

My answer is recorded for posterity...

[TXnMA]

Outstanding! FReepers passed the test with flying colors!

I have always had lousy "facial recognition circuitry". For a few seconds I actually thought the man in black might be "CLFK" (my "pet" "Crazy Little Fat Kid" acronym for Kim Jong Un).

But, then, I spotted the little red flags with gold stars. The DPRK flag has a lone red star in a white circle on a red field -- which has white & blue upper and lower edges. It's the Chinese flag that is red, with gold stars.

The point of this exercise is that we need lots of eyes & brains looking at these video frames. Everyone can help!

Some of the skill sets we need are:

• Facial recognition (lots of faces) [my BIG weakness]

• Flag and country symbology recognition

• Place (buildings, scenery, agriculture, etc.) recognition

• Spatial analysis: maps, and "OHI" (OverHead Imagery)

• Military Identification: (uniforms, aircraft, vehicles, weapons, etc.)

• Critical thinkers: folks who can see possible relationships that many observers would miss -- and see through misperceptions

No sign-ons needed. just follow along, look at the imagery, ask yourself questions -- and tell us when you think you may have an insight!

Back to the image drudgery for me, for now...

It’s Xi Jinping.
