Just be careful when watching these videos, it's a bit like the Stephen King novella 'The Flexible Bullet'
The fictional story is about a successful writer agreeing to 'humour' a woman's husband who was also
a writer, but was dealing with mental problems.
Through written correspondence, the successful author gently offered rational advise and during a drinking
bout, let his guard down and wrote something that endorsed what the woman's struggling husband believed
in. (He thought there were elves living in his typewriter!)
Attempting to fix the problem, the successful writer began to take on the traits of the guy he'd been writing
to and oddly enough, the writer with the disorder started to pull himself around. The flexible bullet was moving.

What I'm saying is that this 'phenomena' may well be true and there are people who've come forward and
stated they were involved in a global social-controlling experiment, but the evidence tends to be mainly
oral testimony.
But it could also be a part of a psychological breakdown of-sorts and brought on by many different reasons.
The stories centre on the teller of those accounts and imply that they are a lone victim fighting against a
nameless, all-seeing group that can only be sometimes glimpsed, but never held accountable.
Using the internet to find like-minded people (and many who just yank the chain for the hell of it) -is a very
dangerous ploy because it not only assists in reinforcing ones belief (like the drunk writer) it can also offer
poor, unhealthy advice.
Read it, watch it... and with all respect to those suffering with this situation, don't pick up the flexible bullet.
