That is not Miles O'Brien. Am I in a BORG created nightmare? I want back to the 24th century.

He’s a good man. A union man.

This Miles O’Brien is actually a solid science reporter for PBS. I’ve watched him on and off for years. A while back he lost his arm in some kind of freak accident, and ended up using the experience to explore prosthetics and bionics.
Solid dude, but what else would you expect with a name like that?
I think just reading his Wikipedia entry, I caught someone at CNN being kind:
O’Brien left CNN in December 2008. He was rehired by CNN as an aviation analyst in March, 2014.
2008–present: owner Miles O’Brien Productions, LLC in Washington, DC
In February, 2014, O'Brien was injured when a Pelican case filled with television equipment fell on his left forearm, causing acute compartment syndrome and resulting in the amputation of his left arm above the elbow.
So, the month after a gruesome injury he was re-hired by CNN, who probably have a pretty good medical plan, better than what he probably would have had when he was self-employed. Maybe not, maybe it's just coincidence. But, it's nicer to believe that someone at CNN thought they should look out for a former colleague / friend who needed some help.
Reading his wiki, he seems like an O'brien outdoor sports, suffering and allround good guy.
Miles O'Brien in the Kelvin-verse.
It's 2023, Star Trek is in the 2360s. This Miles is a great-great-great...great-grandfather of the Miles we know and love.
The name Miles was passed on through the generations, and his son (Miles) started the family's naval tradition:

The community can decide something is canon right?
I say that's canon.
Symmetrical book stacking. Just like the Philadelphia mass turbulence of 1947.
You're right. No human being would stack books like this.
We have Miles O'Brien at home.
Not enough pain on his face - fake!
Shapeshifter got the wrong photo
Teleporter accident.
He got plastic surgery to hide from Keiko.
Fake news
No...real news. Fake Miles.
Just another example of Dr Bashir’s disguise work. The Klingon look was more convincing but this is good too.
