The Red String, Satanic ?

This is new to me. Celebrities wearing this red string. The video poster certainly has his opinion about this, but I am unsure what to make of it.
Any ideas ?

I think it means they study the Kabala. I also met a man from Africa who was a prince to his people and he wore one to display the fact that he was a prince.

Wearing a thin red string (as a type of talisman) is a custom, popularly thought to be associated with Judaism's Kabbalah, to ward off misfortune brought about by an "evil eye" .

Firstly, there is absolutely no genuine kabbalistic source for wearing a red thread around one's wrist to ward off the "evil eye." While there exists such a practice amongst some devout Jews, it is not mentioned in any kabbalistic work. Yes, there is a fleeting mention in the Talmud about the practice of tying a bundle of herbs or gems and wearing them in order to ward off the "evil eye." No special color, nor Rachel, nor even thread are mentioned. Also, the comment is an offhand remark concerning laws of Sabbath observance.

The good news is that there is a clear and early source that mentions tying a red string to ward off an "evil eye" and that is in the Tosefta, an early Talmudic work (Shabbat, ch. 7-8). The bad news is that it clearly states that tying a red string around oneself is severely prohibited. It is characterized as "Darchei Emori," a worthless, superstitious practice, close to idol-worship

Proof is in the mind of adherents.
Perhaps it is not the proof, but the intent of it.
Intent, human intent projected out at the world had it effects.
Let's forget the unseen.
Look at the physical items in you life.
The refrigerator, the loo that flushes, supermarket bought consumables, a lava lamp, the carpet...
These these are in the minds of humans, the ideas projected outward, with knowledge, materials used to craft what you see in you cruddy little apartment.
You live in comfort that the serfs of old could not even imagine.

Say I ask you, "How does a refrigerator work ?" A serf of 1400 would say, "It's magic."
You know it is not magic, but can you explain to me how it works ?

Religious biased disinfo, even the claim was true, the video only shows about seven celebrities... that is not sufficient evidence, specially when people like Jack Black are openly Satanic, you think they really give a fuck to hide this shit?
