There has been a lot of unbeknownst social programming of people via advertising since the early 1900's. This did not occur via any grand conspiracy or malevolent Rothschild, but simply by people whose job it was to sell more stuff. The marketing industry really kicked off in the 1920's as the psychological science of selling developed and marketing personnel started discovering they could take advantage of [[Heuristics|ancient constructs in our minds]] to sell us more and more goods. One great example of this is in Edward ~~Bernays~~ (a relative of Sigmund Freud) book "''Propaganda''" which details how he used his uncle's ideas (Sigmund Freud) to expand cigarette sales in the US by 50% by linking the needs of women at the time for equal rights, to the Statue of Liberty holding a [[Torches of Freedom|Torch of Freedom]] to women not being smokers.
