Description
They said a message flashed for a three-thousandth of a second could make you buy popcorn. They said records played backward could put the devil in your children. They said the government would never experiment on the minds of its own citizens. Some of those claims were myths. Some of them were true. Knowing which is which may be the most important thing you learn this year — because the machinery of influence never went away. It simply stopped hiding.
In Controlling The Mind of the Public, Juvart Mingledolph traces a full century of documented efforts to reach the American mind beneath its defenses — from the first laboratory instruments that measured the edge of awareness, through Madison Avenue's hidden persuaders, the courtroom battles over rock and roll, the fast-food industry's engineered cravings, and the declassified government programs that treated human consciousness as territory to be taken. Drawing on congressional testimony, court records, and peer-reviewed research, this is not a conspiracy theory. It is a citizen's history of what powerful institutions actually did — and what they are doing right now, in plain sight, on every screen your family owns.
Written with conviction but without a partisan agenda, this book asks the question our laws have never answered: if a hidden message could ever move a person without consent, what should we call the open message, repeated ten thousand times, aimed at a child? For parents, teachers, and every reader who suspects the media environment around them is not neutral, Controlling The Mind of the Public offers the history, the language, and the resolve to see the machinery clearly — and to take your mind back.
