Tony Chase's Delusions Involving Frank Sinatra

Tony Chase, a YouTuber diagnosed with schizophrenia, displays a complex set of delusions involving the famous and long-deceased entertainer, Frank Sinatra. Chase asserts that Sinatra, along with other unidentified political figures, has waged a terror campaign against him. He believes Sinatra is directly responsible for a series of concerning acts, including satellite-based harassment.

Delusional Claims About Frank Sinatra

Chase's allegations against Sinatra are multifaceted and involve various imagined crimes:

<quote> Reprise records needs to get shut down and in reverence to the activities of Frank Sinatra and other political people terrorizing my life. I don't owe them nothing and Frank must get arrested for his crimes. Sinatra is one of those satellite controllers and he was working with illegal military people that had ties with illegal politicians. This is a hostage situation. These people are criminal and they are violating the role protocol in the media. I am not related to Frank Sinatra wouldn't want to be related to Frank Sinatra and Frank Sinatra is a terrorist and a serial killer【20†source】. </quote>

Chase's narratives present Sinatra not only as a criminal but also as a figure who has unjustly slandered his mother, communicated with his acquaintances to conspire against him, and personally attacked him.

<quote> There's never been no domestic violence in my relationships with me. But in reference to Frank Sinatra, there is a history of him having contact with females that I had dated and he had intentionally told them to pick fights with me in reference to slandering my parents or my mother or father or their activities of slandering me or trying to pick fights with me. In reference to other men, those females must get arrested for their crimes of perpetuating and trying to murder me with other men【24†source】. </quote>

Furthermore, Chase insists Sinatra has a history as a Nazi, despite no historical evidence for such claims:

<quote> When they found out years past they found out that Frank Sinatra is a Nazi and it is on record hasn't he openly admitted that he is a German nazi? He must get arrested if he's been a satellite controller or has caused me any injuries. He has been blackballed from all my mother and father's businesses and properties and companies【22†source】. </quote>
