The username of the uploader is Naomi19631963. In all of the discussions, many claim that the video is “fake” or “doctored” using arguments that are sometimes valid, but sometimes false. The video was then mentioned on larger websites, such as Infowars in 2013. It is only about two years after the original upload that someone discovered the subliminal messages. The uploader did not post anything else, ever. The uploader later posted a comment stating that the video was salvaged from Alabama and that it was probably broadcast in several states. I salvaged this reel of film from a TV station that used to sign of with it during the 1960s. The user provided a short description of the video – it DOES NOT mention the subliminal messaging. The original video was uploaded in 2009 by a YouTube user named Naomi19631963. Those who believe that the video is authentic cannot find another video source except a single YouTube video those who believe that the video is a hoax often rely on arguments that are false or inconclusive. If the US government admitted to drugging and conducting horrendous experiments on thousands of people via the MKULTRA studies, why wouldn’t it attempt to manipulate minds using this powerful invention called the television?īut is there proof that this subliminal video was actually broadcast on television? Or were the messages injected by a funny-pants computer wiz in 2009 as a hoax? A few internet sites and message boards have debated these possibilities, but I have yet to come across conclusive evidence proving one side or another. MKULTRA studied mind control and MKNAOMI was about biological warfare (these projects still exist today and are infinitely more sophisticated).Ĭonsidering the social and political context of United States during the 1960s, which was characterized by Cold War paranoia, political assassinations, rebellious youth movements and dabblings with mind control – the existence of such a video is plausible. These lines appear to refer to MKULTRA and MKNAOMI, two secret CIA projects that were active at the time – but unknown to the public. The words “BUY ULTRA” and “BUY NAOMI” also appear a few times. While some argue that these lines are too “conspiracy-kitsch” to be taken seriously, they are the kinds of words a government bent on creating a consumer culture would use. Some of the phrases flashed during that video appear to be taken out of the movie They Live (see my article about it here), such as OBEY and CONSUME. It is the intent behind the message that counts. Discrediting the video because “subliminal messages are BS” is not a valid argument. In the context of the national anthem video, debating whether or not subliminal messages work should not be even an issue. One thing is for sure, the technique is still used today (see my article, Mind Control Theories and Techniques used by Mass Media,for some examples). However, recent studies found that, in some cases, subliminal perception produces conclusive results (this page contains several links to studies on the subject). – Steve Jacobson, Mind Control in the United Statesĭo subliminal messages actually work? Older studies claimed that they do not work, which lead the general public to dismiss the entire theory. “Subliminal perception is a deliberate process created by communications technicians, by which you receive and respond to information and instructions without being consciously aware of the instructions” The goal of subliminal perception is to flash messages on screen quickly enough to cause the subconscious mind to record them without even being perceived and analyzed by the conscious mind. While many of us have somewhat fond and nostalgic memories of these TV sign-offs, one Star Spangled Banner video said to be broadcast during the 1960s was apparently laced with creepy subliminal messages. Is the video authentic or is it a well-crafted hoax?īack in the good ol’ days, TV stations ended their broadcast day with a goodnight message and the national anthem, complete with a montage of patriotic images. A video of the US National Anthem reportedly broadcast during the 1960s was found to contain creepy subliminal messages about “obeying the government”.
