We Are Being Programmed (Part 3): The Lab

We are all affected by it...call it advertising, propaganda,
programming, social engineering, psychological operations, or
whatever other term could be applied.  The act of a force
outside of your mind trying to convince you to do something. In the
third episode we play a couple of clips of commercial radio from
the 1940's, then we enter 'The Lab'.  Once sound film is
perfected (more or less), Hollywood productions are now the great
laboratory of for propagandists experimentation.  Any good
propagandist would look at the sheer numbers, up to 90 million
moviegoers each week, and start drooling at the
possibilities.  One homogenized audio/video message seen in
just one week by 90 million people?!  This had never been an
option in all of human history before motion pictures with sound
were invented.  Brave new world.  American politics took
notice of the potential for reaching so many people with one
homogenized message and took action.  Those white men in power
in Washington D.C. started hanging out with those other white men
in power in Hollywood...a lot.  This is the moment when
American politics had to first, and evermore, deal with what they
will look like to the public.  People in politics/industry
quickly figured out how to sell the image needed to get
citizens/consumers to choose their product.  Oh, and then WWII
started and the Golden Age of Propaganda was about to begin. [Click
