Quantum mechanical entanglement: key to affecting people's thoughts, emotions, and bodies from a distance

I have repeatedly sounded a warning about modern technologies being used to manipulate people without their knowledge. Core functionality in this area, according to my digging, appears to come from the "spooky action at a distance" phenomenon that is studied as part of quantum physics. 

Two years ago, scientists in Copenhagen announced that they had made a major breakthrough:

For years, researchers around the world have strived to develop stable quantum light sources and achieve the phenomenon known as quantum mechanical entanglement – a phenomenon, with nearly sci-fi-like properties, where two light sources can affect each other instantly and potentially across large geographic distances....Today, researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute published a new result in the highly esteemed journal Science, in which they succeeded in doing just that....With the new research breakthrough, the fundamental quantum physics research is now in place. Now it is time for other actors to take the researchers' work and use it in their quests to deploy quantum physics in a range of technologies including computers, the internet and encryption.

The potential for commercial application of quantum mechanical entanglement has now been publicly acknowledged. 

I do not believe that 2023 was the first time this phenomenon was harnessed by humans. National militaries and research institutes usually have access to large, society-changing advances long before the rest of the public. Look at the history of mobile phones and the internet for examples of important technology that was not widely available for decades to most people but are now widespread. 

Unfortunately for the world, the fall of the USSR in the early 1990s resulted in Soviet scientists selling advanced weaponries, both big and tiny, on black markets.

Modern headlines make me think some well-connected criminals have gotten hold of  "spooky action" technology and sometimes use it to hurt others from afar. After all, isn't it a truism that the "best" crime is the one that a criminal gets away with?
