I haven't talked to this guy (lets call him A) in years - exchanged emails but not really talked. Recently A and I made contact. After a few minutes he begins to tell me about over 200,000 salves are being shipping to Mars for mining operations. At first I think he is messing with me. He wasn't. When I knew this guy he was plenty sane. Really smart engineer and very personable. When I was single, A and two of my other friends would go camping, hit the bars and strip joints, basically guy stuff and never did he present the least bit whacky. I lost touch with him and the other guy we will call J over the years but the 4th, lets call him G and I stayed close. The other J and G served - J as a nuke officer on a boomer and G as a capt. in the Army, saw tours in Somalia and Iraq. A never served. I bring this up because G also has been in contact with A. G calls me up to recant the conversation he has with A. I told him the same shyt happened to me with him. A went into far more detail with G on his ideas then he did with me. A told G about how Columbus actually was the first to the moon and that there is a military base there. That Nuke subs are also space ships. A went into talking about the Gray people and how they shape shift and can control the perception frequencies.

G says that A's wife is leaving him with their daughter because A is gone basically nuts and won't listen to reason. G is also concerned for him and asked me what he (we) should do?

I am not sure its really anything I can do but I do feel bad for the guy. I told G to call him back and say "Listen G, I couldn't tell you before but I can now because I am on a secure line and I have made sure you are as well. As you now I was in the Army but what you don't know is that I am a high ranking officer in the Space Corp and yes, all your suspicions are true but you have to stop talking about it or they are going to harvest you. You know way too much and if anyone if in Sector Z who by the way is headed up by J, finds out that you have broken the critical mass of transgression and start posting this stuff well, there won't be anything I can do for you. And as you know, J never really liked you anyway!"

G thought that would be actually pretty fun but wondered what the damage it might do. The way I figure is that he has become delusional and I am not sure there is anything to bring him back anyway so why not F*** with him! Actually I really don't mean that, well mostly I don't mean that.

How does someone who seems right as rain, smart, sorted out and basically together get to the point that they believe the YouTube crap ? How does this happen? Do any of you know anyone that went from 'OK' to "Oh Dear"?
