12hMany have asked me what the hell is going on with this US Navy Admiral who appears to be wearing a skin mask on Fox
I reviewed the raw broadcast (aired Tuesday) to confirm it’s not edited or AI-generated, and it’s… strange.
I can’t explain it

Turkey neck, that’s all. People need to get real.........

total garbage clickbait post ... headline even leaves out the word “former” leading the average reader to believe the article is about an actively serving admiral instead of a retired guy ...
Could’ve been burned in combat.
😁🙄....................................
I am ‘firmly’ on the fence about it.
A. It does not look like this man is wearing a Mask, as I’ve seen him on the air before, and he looks the exact same way.
B. Would it really be so shocking that a former Navy SEAL may want to conceal his actual image (even in retirement), given all the things they are ordered to do, all over the world? I’m always surprised when I see former SEAL
Robert J. O’Neill on camera. He’s the one who claims to have
‘killed Bin Laden’. God bless his courage and confidence, but if he chose to remain ‘faceless’ for his own protection, that would seem very sensible.
“ Well, he’s a reptilian from the Dagaba System, so it makes sense he’d be disguised.”

Maybe… but definitely a space alien in disguise.
“It’s usually harmless:”
It is a body-shaping alien!
LOL, you people are nuts, no wonder this site is dead - it’s just a shadow, look closer - put on your reading glasses you old fools. Lol.

Glad to see you included a couple LOLs. Those posts (including my own) are just people joking.
LOL
I have nicked myself plenty of times. That is not a nick.
But I do find it amusing the way it is viewed by people.
Hahaha...remember this thing with Barak Obama at some basketball game?
Damn. I cannot find the original that some video anomaly made it look like there was a little demonic face on his thumb while he was clapping, but I must have modified the original image and overwritten it with my own Photoshop:

LOL ... YOU PEOPLE??
Sounds like you need to find another forum, n00b! LOL
It used to be you can't tell them, you must show them.
It is fast becoming you can't tell them or show them.
A deep dark world is being exposed.
The truth won't be for everyone.
Have faith in Humanity.
The end won't be for everyone.
That choice, to know, will be yours.
According to AI, the “skin mask” appearance is actually an optical illusion created by broadcast compression, studio lighting, and video filters rather than an actual prosthetic.
Viewers watching the segment on Fox News noticed a distinct shadow and an unnatural gap above the admiral’s collar, which caused many to speculate online that he was wearing a highly realistic rubber mask.
If he was, and FOX was trying to sell something, why would they put it out there like that when the illusion was so available? Optical illusion.

It’s a sucking chest wound, seal an MRE wrapper over it with your hand and call a medic.
Considering the nonsense some people here have believed over the years, it’s hard to tell sometimes.
His eyes don’t look normal either. Fixed stare, no blinking or movement.
Something weird is going on with that guy.

It's real.
AI is reporting what the mainstream media is saying re optical illusion. I've seen that same gaping mask on the back of a 'Biden' stand-in, the edges curled up and the material rippled as if the side of his skull was muscular and flexing.
Classic example of a camera artifact. I swear no one remembers what used to be common knowledge. We live in a willful state of ignorance.
