Subliminal Messaging to the Masses - Programming the Nation (2011)

Programming the Nation takes an encompassing look at the history of subliminal messaging in the U.S.. According to many authorities, since the late 1950's, subliminal content has been tested and delivered through all forms of media, at an increasingly alarming rate. "PROGRAMMING THE NATION" examines the purported uses, influences and potential subconscious side-effects of what's going on beneath the surface of advertising, film, music and political propaganda. Even the U.S. military has been accused of using this technology in their Psychological Operations Unit, (PSY OPS) campaigns. This socially relevant documentary not only traces the history of this phenomenon, but seeks to determine the validity and potential threat that may or may not exist. Do you ever find yourself doing or buying things without any conscious reasoning? Why has consumer debt in the U.S. risen to extreme levels since 1990? How is it possible that the United States consumes about 25% of the world's resources while only making up, about 4.5% of the world's population? Are we all part of an elaborate scheme which has been programming the nation? Decide for yourself...

Are we all brainwashed? Or, have we lost our minds?

Director, Jeff Warrick, leads this documentary journey through the subconscious mind, while exploring the alleged usage of subliminal messaging in advertising, music, film, television, anti-theft devices, political propaganda, military psychological operations, and advanced weapons development, to determine if such tactics have succeeded in "PROGRAMMING THE NATION"
