During the Nixon years Spiro Agnew was vice president and very much despised for his Law and Order policy, at the same time TV and Film production companies began using Subliminal inserts in their programming. Realising the power of this tool the Democrats began to buy TV time and began to attack Spiro Agnew using these techniques, which were found to work. Although the methods used were outlawed some years later this type of programming using more advanced methods is still being used today as an example modern variants of the Famous Milgram experiments from Yale University in 1961 are used everyday around the world on TV, Radio, Internet and Retail as well as in the design and use of documents and machine operations.
The truth be none we have already lost the war even if we don't want to admit it.
