They could indeed, but what would happen with the "original" human, the one who is not a clone?

My understanding from the various interviews is they are all transported their into clone bodies while they sleep. Their real bodies remain wherever they were when they snatched the consciousness from them.

The hive mind concept is an interesting one, but I don't see why they need to be dead by now.

I could be wrong, but he said that once they take over the host body that it is impossible for them to leave it. So it seems more likely than not that when that body dies, so would they.

It could be that those issues were perhaps no as important as justifying the use of such an important tool.

Possibly, but in one of the interviews he said that they play with it to mess with us which is why the Mandela effect is being noticed by so many. I assumed since they play with it as a joke they would have no qualms about using it for more serious breaches that displeased them.

Don't worry, these posts are meant to bring discussion and awareness about this subject. I will certainly do it. Thanks for your awesome comment!

You're awesome. I appreciate this. Since this came up with the whole contest I have spent so many hours looking at interviews and writings. I appreciate you are willing to discuss flaws I see without feeling threatened. I noticed on some of the videos there is a lot of arguing and name calling back and forth, as well as one of the posts I commented on when this first became a thing here on Steemit the poster got really defensive. I know maybe sometimes maybe my fault as I know what I am thinking and perhaps leave out some of the context in my questioning.
