John '00' Fleming - Free (John's Twisted Dub) (2000)
Quote:"We ran global consciousness experiments to further test the quantum pendulum device and to finetune the Queltron machine. Those experiments are run without people being aware they are part of an experiment. We can generate doctored news (ironically enough today they call it fake news) such as the detection of an asteriod in Earth collision route. The global anxiety generated among the world population is enough to have a measurable effect on the pendulum.
But we were totally baffled by the fact that what was initially started as a fake news, it became real in the end. This was a totally unexpected result. Imagine we devise a thorough experiment by which we announce worldwide the outburst of a new virus in a remote region of Mongolia... to then receive reports of thousands of people been infected, hospitals collapsing, etc. We know that cannot be simply because we are the ones who created the fake news to run our global consciousness-related experiment, yet the disease turns real... how do you explain that??"
