All kinds of free software allow you to amend metadata even to make a photo look like it was taken on a day that hasn’t happened yet
Earlier this week, Boris Johnson was accused of faking a picture of him standing silent in honour of the victims of the Plymouth shootings, when social media users spotted that his wristwatch said 11.14am when he was supposedly silent at 11am. A clock on the mantel was therefore said to have been put back in order to make it appear the appropriate time, but the different time on Johnson’s watch was presumably missed:
After the evidence went viral, Downing St tried to put the outrage and mockery to bed, claiming that it had ‘proved’ that the image was in fact taken at 11.01am – because the ‘metadata’ on the image subsequently uploaded to the Flickr image website showed that time.
But in fact, lots of software platforms – many of them free – allow someone to alter the ‘taken’ time in the metadata. Skwawkbox researched the process and found that it’s even easy to make a photo appear to have been taken on a date that hasn’t even happened yet:
Downing Street’s excuse for Johnson – supposedly ‘proof’ – has collapsed like a deck of cards. At the moment, the most reliable available evidence on the face of it suggests that it was 11.14am and not the 11am at which the nation was supposed to be falling silent out of respect for the victims of the Plymouth murders. The metadata do not prove what Johnson’s apologists claim.

Like Johnson – King of Fake?
Wow! V interesting. Johnson’s watch time was spun as him having set it ahead to help him not be late. In addition to a newspaper article, there was also a woman talking on the radio about “lateness” for about two hours!!!
Unaware of this side to events as revealed in Skwawkbox.org.
Thanks

Metadata is an output of Surveillance systems and a resource with which TPTB (the powers that be) control us and lie to us. Learning to change it is a very useful skill. Revolutionary even.
We are lied to everyday and nothing will ever change…
I F only the deceit stopped at rigging the time,but we are all beginning to wonder just what else has been rigged.Sharpe eyes when all is on display,but what happens behind the curtain.The list is endless and it doesn’t stop at the ballot box.
The other thing as well is that the sun is shining on the mantle clock on the opposite side to where the sun is shining on the leather chairs showing that something was faked with either the clock or the chairs.
Not making any excuses for the walking timewarp but it might be the flash off the camera?
On another note, it appears the phone call to the Afghan govt (The one that raabid was meant to have delegated to a junior minister) wasn’t made at all.
They don’t give a flying one about their fellow countrymen (Unless they’ve got moolah) so it’s no surprise that they’ve shat on those that helped save British soldiers’ lives & limbs.
Everything in the Media is a construct but defines our reality. Does it matter who owns & controls MSM?
The billionaire-owned British MSM is a key column in the self-serving glabal-capitalist system’s closed system.
“Among many similar globalist states, The UK State is a public-private partnership between government, financial institutions, multinational corporations, global think tanks, and well funded third sector organisations, such as so called non governmental organisations (NGO’s) and large international charities.
Through a labyrinthine structure of direct funding, grant making and philanthropy, the UK State is a cohesive globalist organisation that works with selected academics, scientific institutions and mainstream media (MSM) outlets to advance a tightly controlled, predetermined narrative. This designed consensus serves the the interests and global ambitions of a tiny group of disproportionately wealthy people.
This group of parasites, often misleadingly referred to as the “elite,” exploit all humanity for their own gain and to consolidate and enhance their power. They control the money supply and the global debt, which is a debt owed to them.
Human beings are forced to pay tax which, via government procurement, flows directly to the private corporations they own. War, security, infrastructure projects, education and health care provide profits and are used by the parasite class to socially engineer society.
Globally, they fund all political parties, with any realistic chance of gaining power, they own the MSM and spend billions lobbying policy makers.”
The kleptocracy or ‘let them eat cakes’ only last as long as the folk with the pitch forks allow them to
What was the last thought of the aristocracy as their heads fell into the bread basket
Methinks
Oh Fuck
qwertboi – Who are you quoting?
Does he have an alibi?
Yes – It was Corbyn.
Photos can catch you out.
Lyndon Johnson’s claim that he was pushed to the floor by a Secret Service Agent is contradicted by the Altgens photo
which shows that he ducked before the first shot was fired.
