Hey, propaganda is a thing and it works. That's totally and example of manifesting things into reality through writing them often enough.

Most people in the industrialized world zealously believe what they are told to believe, even if it goes against what's in front of their own eyes. So making things true just by saying or writing them is not that odd.
