This article by Miles Mathis, published on March 23, 2025, argues that recent news events reveal a “Baudrillardian post-historical hellscape” where reality is increasingly transparently fake. Mathis highlights two main news items: Ukraine’s Defense Ministry offering McDonald’s cheeseburgers as recruitment incentives, and Donald Trump suggesting the US join the British Commonwealth and expressing admiration for King Charles. Mathis contends that these events, along with other perceived deceptions like the alleged dating of Vanessa Trump by Tiger Woods (which he dismisses as a fabricated story involving gay individuals and CGI), the portrayal of Margaret Qualley in the movie “The Substance” using body doubles and CGI, and the supposed “accidental” inclusion of Jeffrey Goldberg in a Signal group chat discussing military actions, are all deliberate attempts to gaslight the public. He believes these instances are designed to test people’s intelligence and their ability to discern manufactured realities from genuine ones, suggesting a deliberate manipulation of public perception and sexuality through fabricated media and entertainment. Mathis also touches upon the case of Youtuber Erik van Conover, questioning the filming and publication of his court appearance, and criticizes the movie “Alien: Romulus” for its perceived lack of originality in its costuming and questionable box office claims, suggesting the studios are manipulating these numbers.

The article critiques the current state of media and public perception, arguing that recent events point to a Baudrillardian post-historical hellscape of manufactured realities.
Key Events and Claims:
- Ukraine Recruitment: The Ukraine Defense Ministry is allegedly recruiting soldiers with promises of McDonald’s cheeseburgers. Mathis claims this is a transparently fake war tactic, comparing it to past instances where McDonald’s offered incentives for vaccinations in the US in 2021. He even suggests Mayor McCheese could replace Zelensky.
- Donald Trump and the British Commonwealth: Donald Trump’s suggestion for the US to join the British Commonwealth and his praise for King Charles are presented as surreal news. Mathis questions Trump’s sanity, possibly attributing it to an Ozempic overdose, and references the US War of Independence in 1776. He also notes Trump’s previous positive comments about Albert Bourla, head of Pfizer, which were met with boos.
- City of London’s Influence: Mathis reiterates his past arguments that the City of London has been secretly ruling the US all along, citing evidence from his previous papers on Lennon and the Beatles (mentioning MI6 and the BSC) and Jack London (regarding British Army bases in the US). He views Trump’s statement as an admission of this long-standing, covert relationship.
- Vanessa Trump and Tiger Woods Dating Rumors: The Daily Mail reported that Tiger Woods is dating Vanessa Trump. Mathis disputes this, claiming both are gay and that the accompanying picture is fake. He states Vanessa Trump looks different now and has a history of dating Leo DiCaprio, who he also labels as gay and using women as “beards.” He mentions Bridget Hall, Natasha Henstridge, Naomi Campbell, Bijou Phillips, Amber Valetta, and Gisele Bundchen as probable lesbian models Leo DiCaprio dated. Mathis also claims women Tiger Woods supposedly cheated on his wife with admitted he was gay. Vanessa Trump’s alleged past relationship with Prince Khalid Al Saud is also questioned due to a lack of photographic evidence, except for a few pictures with his wife, Lucy Cuthbert.
- Margaret Qualley in “The Substance”: Mathis claims the nude scenes in the movie “The Substance” featuring Margaret Qualley were faked using body doubles and CGI. He criticizes the film for promoting physical and sexual self-destruction and points to Demi Moore’s casting as indicative of her own similar path.
- CGI’ed Female Athletes and Androids: The article alleges that YouTube is promoting CGI’ed female athletes as real, describing them as “androids” intended to confuse male viewers and destroy their sexuality, calling it “stealth eugenics.”
- Jeffrey Goldberg and Signal Chat: Atlantic journalist Jeffrey Goldberg, described as allegedly anti-Trump, was purportedly “accidentally” added to a Signal group chat of top defense officials including Hegseth, Gabbard, Vance, Waltz, and Rubio, discussing bombing Yemen and the Houthis. Mathis dismisses this as a transparently fake leak designed to confirm a fabricated war in Yemen. He claims the Houthis are a CIA/Mossad construct, similar to Hamas, Hezbollah, BLM, Proud Boys, Oathkeepers, the American Nazi Party, and Antifa. He argues these are manufactured enemies for a war economy that benefits military contractors and bankers. The CIA director’s assurance that Signal is approved for such use is deemed an “empty assurance.” The mention of 18 people on the list and the numerology of “aces and eights” are seen as childish and transparent.
- Erik van Conover Arrest: Youtuber Erik van Conover was allegedly arrested. Mathis questions the filming and publication of his initial court appearance, the setting (in front of taped New Hampshire and US flags), and notes that Erik van Conover is a wealthy actor from a prominent New York family with the original surname Couwenhoven, which Mathis links to “Cowen” and “Cohen.” He highlights the irony of his last acting job being a play titled “Flight Risk.”
- “Alien: Romulus” Criticism: Mathis criticizes the movie “Alien: Romulus” for its perceived low-quality costuming (e.g., Converse hightops, Free People overalls) despite an 350 million worldwide gross and positive reviews, suggesting studios manipulate these figures. He also mentions “The Critical Drinker” on YouTube as having reviewed the movie.
Concepts and Themes:
- Gaslighting: Mathis repeatedly uses the term “gaslighting” to describe the perceived manipulation of public perception through fake news and fabricated realities.
- Transparency of Fakery: He argues that the current level of deception is becoming so overt that it’s a test of people’s intelligence and lucidity.
- War Economy and Contractors: Mathis believes fake wars are manufactured to benefit military contractors and bankers.
- Stealth Eugenics: He links the destruction of sexuality through artificial means to a new form of “stealth eugenics.”
- Manufactured Enemies: Mathis posits that many groups, both domestic and international, are created by intelligence agencies to serve as manufactured enemies.
