Thought Control History

from The Long Road · host Ron Jones

1917 was a pivotal year for propaganda and social psychology. The emerging science and understanding of how to control mass thought were used to talk Americans into supporting WWI in Europe. Some of those who opposed this orchestrated "national" effort--were arrested and imprisoned. Sound familiar? *Reference: "PR!
