Elementary my dear Watson, look into Operation Mockingbird.
Operation Mockingbird
In 1948 Frank Wisner was appointed director of the Office of Special Projects. Soon afterwards it was renamed the Office of Policy Coordination (OPC). This became the espionage and counter-intelligence branch of the Central Intelligence Agency. Wisner was told to create an organization that concentrated on "propaganda, economic warfare; preventive direct action, including sabotage, anti-sabotage, demolition and evacuation measures; subversion against hostile states, including assistance to underground resistance groups, and support of indigenous anti-Communist elements in threatened countries of the free world."
Later that year Wisner established Mockingbird, a program to influence the domestic American media. Wisner recruited Philip Graham (Washington Post) to run the project within the industry. Graham himself recruited others who had worked for military intelligence during the war. This included James Truitt, Russell Wiggins, Phil Geyelin, John Hayes and Alan Barth. Others like Stewart Alsop, Joseph Alsop and James Reston, were recruited from within the Georgetown Set. According to Deborah Davis, the author of Katharine the Great (1979) : "By the early 1950s, Wisner 'owned' respected members of the New York Times, Newsweek, CBS and other communications vehicles."
In 1951 Allen W. Dulles persuaded Cord Meyer to join the CIA. However, there is evidence that he was recruited several years earlier and had been spying on the liberal organizations he had been a member of in the later 1940s. According to Deborah Davis, Meyer became Mockingbird's "principal operative".
One of the most important journalists under the control of Operation Mockingbird was Joseph Alsop, whose articles appeared in over 300 different newspapers. Other journalists willing to promote the views of the CIA included Stewart Alsop (New York Herald Tribune), Ben Bradlee (Newsweek), James Reston (New York Times), C. D. Jackson (Time Magazine), Walter Pincus (Washington Post), Walter Winchell (New York Daily Mirror), Drew Pearson, Walter Lippmann, William Allen White, Edgar Ansel Mowrer (Chicago Daily News), Hal Hendrix (Miami News), Whitelaw Reid (New York Herald Tribune), Jerry O'Leary (Washington Star), William C. Baggs (Miami News), Herb Gold (Miami News) and Charles L. Bartlett (Chattanooga Times). According to Nina Burleigh, the author of A Very Private Woman, (1998) these journalists sometimes wrote articles that were commissioned by Frank Wisner. The CIA also provided them with classified information to help them with their work.
After 1953 the network was overseen by Allen W. Dulles, director of the Central Intelligence Agency. By this time Operation Mockingbird had a major influence over 25 newspapers and wire agencies. These organizations were run by people such as William Paley (CBS), Henry Luce (Time Magazine and Life Magazine), Arthur Hays Sulzberger (New York Times), Helen Rogers Reid (New York Herald Tribune), Dorothy Schiff (New York Post), Alfred Friendly (managing editor of the Washington Post), Barry Bingham (Louisville Courier-Journal) and James S. Copley (Copley News Services).
The Office of Policy Coordination (OPC) was funded by siphoning of funds intended for the Marshall Plan. Some of this money was used to bribe journalists and publishers. Frank Wisner was constantly looked for ways to help convince the public of the dangers of communism. In 1954 Wisner arranged for the funding the Hollywood production of Animal Farm, the animated allegory based on the book written by George Orwell.
According to Alex Constantine (Mockingbird: The Subversion Of The Free Press By The CIA), in the 1950s, "some 3,000 salaried and contract CIA employees were eventually engaged in propaganda efforts". Wisner was also able to restrict newspapers from reporting about certain events. For example, the CIA plots to overthrow the governments of Iran and Guatemala.
Canceling the Constitution: Biden Hailed for Violating Law
Jonathan Turley, The Hill August 8, 2021
During the 2020 presidential campaign, then-candidate Joe Biden told voters that the choice between him and Donald Trump was between the lawful and the lawless. He called for voters to support “the rule of law, our Constitution,” a choice repeated mantralike by the media to “end Trump’s assault on the rule of law.” Now, six months into his presidency, Biden is openly flouting the Constitution with a knowingly invalid extension of the eviction moratorium — and some law professors and advocates on the left are cheering him for it.
A few weeks ago, the Supreme Court ruled on the authority of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to impose a nationwide moratorium on the eviction of renters during the pandemic. Some of us criticized the CDC order as unconstitutional. The reason is the breathtaking authority claimed by the CDC under a federal law that gives it the power to “make and enforce such regulations as in [its] judgment are necessary to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of communicable diseases.”
I have long been a critic of such unchecked and undefined authority in pandemics. This, however, is a particularly chilling example. It would give the CDC authority over huge swaths of our economy to avoid even the possibility of the “introduction” or spread of a disease. It means that a Constitution designed to prevent tyranny and authoritarianism becomes largely irrelevant if you put on a white lab coat. After all, the law was designed to control disease, not democracy, as a public health priority.
The goal my dear is to demolish the American Republic, making way to the advent and establishment of Global Government and neo-feudal tyranny by the Technocratic elite...ala THE GREAT RESET.
When I was young, my family moved from Indiana to southern Californian. We also took a trip back to Indiana every year at summer vacation.
Route 66 more that 2000 miles all the way.
In the 1950s there were still Indians on the side of the road in Arizona and Nevada. They had mud huts and sold Navajo blankets and baskets, and silver and turquoise jewelry....
This was before air conditioned cars. and canvass water bottles on the radiators of the cars...The trip through the desert was brutal in summer. But simply an amazing adventure for me as a kid.
I was able to watch the southwest change year to year....then the Interstate Highway started, and our route shifted eventually from 66 to larger 4 lane highways --first state "turnpikes' and then the interstate highway...(a military project)
The last time I took the trip east from So Cal was March 2003 the same day that US 'Shock & Awe' rained down on Bagdad.
The desert was full bloom at the time and the trip was awesome.
I ended up in south Georgia...which really seemed like purgatory to me at the time. White Southerners are so fucking weird.
They are still fighting the Civil War there.
From Georgia to finally back home again in Indiana has been an amazing sci-fi story.
Yes Janet. I think of that often. Most of my life has been lived in America the beautiful, America the free. Knowledge of the corruption has always been with me. But the real critical clear and present danger we see facing us now....That is science fiction dystopia manifest.
GWB? More precicely Dick Cheney who was the real power behind the throne. But that regime indeed.

From an essay by John Taylor Gatto – 09/2003
Mass schooling of a compulsory nature really got its teeth into the United States between 1905 and 1915, though it was conceived of much earlier and pushed for throughout most of the nineteenth century. The reason given for this enormous upheaval of family life and cultural traditions was, roughly speaking, threefold:
1) To make good people.
2) To make good citizens.
3) To make each person his or her personal best.
These goals are still trotted out today on a regular basis, and most of us accept them in one form or another as a decent definition of public education’s mission, however short schools actually fall in achieving them. But we are dead wrong. Compounding our error is the fact that the national literature holds numerous and surprisingly consistent statements of compulsory schooling’s true purpose. We have, for example, the great H. L. Mencken, who wrote in The American Mercury for April 1924 that the aim of public education is not to fill the young of the species with knowledge and awaken their intelligence. . . . Nothing could be further from the truth. The aim.. . is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality. That is its aim in the United States . . . and that is its aim everywhere else.
An uneducated one. Education for all will lead to education for none. Read Plato on Socrates dialogue on education titled Laches. On pdf. Education is about drawing out not STUFFING IN!
Unfortunately it is far worse than that. It’s more about psychology than education. You assume if people understood tyranny they would oppose it. A significant portion of the population understands it full well and craves it. The psychological motivation is what drives that craving, not ignorance. Sure there are some oblivious fools but they want to be oblivious. They just want to be fed and have a roof and be pain free and if handing over their sovereignty is what is required they will do so.
Stanley Milgram has established the problem is obedience to authority Which is a learned mentality, and is as you say a subliminal phenomena.
Such indoctrination can be overcome by mindful self reflection. The "subconscious" IS available to the thinker who understands what he is finding. The concept of 'opening doors' of the "mental mansion" and seeking out other metaphorical objects within these interior rooms (of the subconscious).
Two kinds of tyranny -- that which benefits you and that which doesnt. Every tyrant in history won power by convincing others it benefits them. We're all basically selfish. Politicians understand that,
The media is the IDEOLOGICAL STATE APPARATUS FOR THE REPRODUCTION OF THE IDEOLOGY OF THE RULING CLASS. It is doing exactly what it was designed and supposed to do.
It isn’t even the media. It’s a political activist apparatus masquerading as the media.
Nice catch

You said " fill the young" so perhaps you need to remember Plato's Socratic Dialogue Laches on education. Education is to DRAW OUT not to STUFF IN!
Those are Mencken's words not mine. And he was making the point of the error he saw in public schooling, not advocating it.
