There is no reason to invest in cloning for the DeepState, especially with the age of their figures.
The logistics in intentionally aging a clone to be 70 years old only for them to have an operation life of about 4 years is untenable. They would die from the genetic aging process before they could be put to task, let alone trained and remember that training.
Maybe for organ harvesting? No. They have too many human trafficked slaves to worry about that.
Instead, they would likely invest in surrogate androids before any cloning angle.
That, or they strategically chose candidates with twins and groomed the pair from birth, hiding the twin's existence.
Both of those angles are more likely than clone body doubles. Even more-so is just the time tested similar-looking body double or a guy in a silicone mask.
The only reason you would invest in cloning is for the production of a eugenic race of super-soldiers... That's about it. There is no other advantage that some simple plastic surgery or some body harvesting can't solve.
No, the cloning body double thing is just too out there to take seriously at this point in the game.
I'm still open to surrogate androids, though, as crazy as that sounds. The whole Niagara Falls Men in Black video has me thinking this angle is far more likely than clones. If the story is true, I don't think they were aliens -- just prototype android surrogates.
It would explain why Crazy Nancy doesn't want to use her own metal detectors she had installed. Right?
The game Deus Ex had some inclusions of these types of Men in Black. The claims from real sightings from the 60s is that they spoke monotone with a reverb, like robots. Here's what the game, that also coincidentally predicted in 2000 that the Twin Towers would be taken out by terrorists, thought they would sound like based on the Super-Conspiracy Theorist Game Director's research.
For the record:
Clones, No.
Android Surrogates, Highly Unlikely.
Twins at Birth, Unlikely.
Guy in a Hollywood Mask, Maybe.
Body Double with Tons of Surgery, Probably.
Deepfakes, Probably.
CGI De-Aging/Cleanup, Definitely.
The clones are likely for me for the cloning tech push back it recieved like stem cells and AI. The pattern for push back is always there for any tech. Then you track the rumours and see tidbits of news. Russia billionaire story of 27 clones placed in relative's bodies is one. Clones could be controlled by chips. Elon talks about chips in pig's brains which could be inserted in naturally birthed humans or clones. Black eye club could explain a chipped being.
If cloning and chips work, then the rest of the tech likely works as well. Boston Dynamics makes great robots. Make up and masks are Hollywood specialities along with deep fake (Matrix was first big one, Star Wars was better tech) and cleanup. No script in Hollywood gets passed without military approval.
Golum and Caesar and every cgi creation in any movie are fakes as well. Humans fakes have always been the toughest to fool real humans. They figured it out with the deep fakes solution like Tom Cruise vids. Project Blue Beam might become operational (War of Worlds hysteria with holograms instead of radio). DECLASS is important. Truth is important. EYE SEE YAE always screwing with you.
