Memes are the new propaganda posters from WW2. They started off as innocuous forms of humor but have now morphed into ways of promoting certain political agendas thanks to the help of the MSM and political elite bringing them into the mainstream political conversation.
They're there to dumb people down and to be uninformed because memes are the most simplistic form of communication and most will agree with them if they fit with preconceived notions.
It's easier to read memes than it is to study something in depth. Dumbing America down one meme at a time.

Yeah I'm worried about that one (and a couple other good ones).
I doubt I'll have much competition in originality, as I wrote my own damn movie.
But his 'professional look', yeah I'm pinched there.
The other thing I'm worried about is the duration. Note that memes arent inherently just a picture with funny big bold words added to it, or a 15 second spoof edit of a clip from some Hollywood movie. I call those micromemes. I could have trimmed my macromeme down to only about 2 minutes if I ran with just the narration, no micromemes. But it wouldn't tell the story either, would be pure dark satire no lulz, etc. CNN acting like they'll be murdered because people are goofing on them is silly (not to mention the original wrestling clip, the 'fight' depicted, was scripted stagecraft. Trump wasnt even landing real blows. He was an old fart already then. But the going ballistic about it and etc well now its all out over the top, bastards. So it ran with having the 12 micromemes I had managed by the time I had to shift totally to the main piece. So it could go either way, that I didn't just do some 20 second or two minute whatever, went that extra mile, could benefit. Or its too long in their view. Short and simple could win over the rollercoaster ride....
There wasn't exactly clear guidelines, or specifications, except for "all content must include infowars.com". Most I've seen havent.
Alex also mentioned he wants to see stuff that "Exposing CNN as a terrorist organization, as liars, as scum, as trash.". Aside form the Hitler edited script pieces, not really any I've seen have done much more than just rip on them, call them fake news type stuff. So on this score MEMEGEDDON is solid. Here is another reason I needed at least somemicroemes included. I had 10 more micromemes spooled up, one of them with "CNN" dumpster diving with appropriate captions. But I scoured Youtube and my own archives for at least an hour for a good clip of someone dumpster diving, but the few that did have potential teh cameras were jumping all over the damn place. Youtube inundated with these 'professional dumpster diver' people POV videos of going out dumpster diving LOL.
I actually had prepared about 5 minutes of news clip slices that lays out the whole story of the CNN vs. Trump pissing match, and other key moments since the campaign relevant to my script, and another version of the piece with 3 separate segments instead just sliver of the news clips segment mashed into one with the micromemes segment & sick narrative psychobeat segments, three music tunes instead of just the psychobeat. But oh my getting my PC all setup to run video and gather raw materials, hadn't touched Sony Vegas in 6 years... So I wasn't able to release it at the same time. But I will it wont be that hard at this point but I basically didnt sleep all weekend thru Tues. so was like F it. Since they didnt announce the winners YET even, ya I should have already done it.
Execution wise we both nailed it. A lot of people probably be able to fully appreciate what I made due to unfamiliarity with the vintage genre: It's a "Grindhouse" action/horror 'fake trailer'. Grindhouse were the campy B List and X Rated etc "Exploitation" type flicks back in the 70's. The theaters that played them were called "Grindhouses". "Exploitation" the expression for their methods of still trying to make crappy scripts with low budgets and bad actors come out as still being entertaining. The various over the top "exploits" included things like slapstick, gore, 'Dirk Diggler' type porn, violence, etc. Not all of the movies they played were weirdo. Clint Eastwood's biggest films were "Spaghetti Westerns" which is widely held as being a aspect of Grindhouse.
But then the cold truth is most of the absolutely worst films of that era were Grindhouse too. And here's where my trailer concept is the whoop for this particular CNN melodrama. You see what is fun about the awful movies from the Grindhouse is they'd take the crappiest movies and the trailer would make them look AWESOME. In hindsight its as if the whole point of it all was to justify making the trailers. I say they should have done shock cinema trailer marathons instead of play half the movies. Maybe they did!?! Today there are dozens upon dozens of trailer compilation VHS and DVD's etc that have been produced over the years, and they're a lot of fun to watch. The general theme is intense soundtrack, descriptions of the movie plots etc blown way out of proportion. Making outlandish claims about how important or shocking or whatever the crap films were supposed to be. SO when I look at this whole surreal MSM 'label everyone else fake news and scream McCarthyist mania', it reminds me of the Grindhouse trailers. Which I why in my "Double Feature" expose I opened each Feature with a fake trailer script. And one became a reel "fake trailer" this week.

My impression is that guy is a film professional whom is expert with the Adobe Suite. I grew up on Paint Shop Pro shareware, and when I eventually tried Photoshop I gasped at how tedious every little thing is in comparison. Then when I made They Want Your Soul my first attempt at film anything, a buddy suggested Sony Vegas you can run free trial for a month. And oh it was a breeze I picked it right up and rushed out TWYS in 6 days.
Later on I knew Adobe stuff is where its at in raw from scratch content creation, and tried it...
And it was every bit as tedious as the other comparison. Just trying to mix up a tiny video real quick, I hated it.
So I never messed with it again. Looking back I'm thinking the way would be run Adobe to create raw content, and then drop all the renders into Vegas for the editing etc.
Then again I could never afford $800 full licenses on Vegas or Adobe when I was active.
Eventually I had to reinstall Windoze and lost the working Vegas I had. So then I couldn't even dabble with projects in between my ridiculously busy life that pulled me away from politics drama. Doing film projects, the increasingly sophisticated documentaries I had in the works in 2010, writing them, researching while breaking news alters the script daily with some of them I had developing, then the actual editing type stuff, and all the other IIB stuff I was doing (like ATS), while trying to REALLY self-teach how to use the video programs to do pro grade content generation, argh. It just got to be I needed a team, in particular a video + graphics person of the expert pro grade. So then last year I decided that to write as many pieces around here I could I needed to avoid trying to get my video stuff going again. Cranked out a lot of epic scale threads that are ready to be made into documentaries. It's just too bad I wont be able to do them as I was only supposed to get sucked back into politics for the summer last year.
