The basis of this theory, I believe, goes back to the 100th Monkey Theory of 1957 (https://hilo.hawaii.edu/~ronald/HMP.htm). This group motivation observation forms the basis of all propaganda messaging by those seeking power and glory for personal and / or collective gain. No doubt this observation was known prior to this date, but this is the first science-based observation and recorded event. As the U. S. and other countries have continued to buy into the theory that one's personal value is determined solely by physical observation, versus spiritual observation, the flood of influencing information has centered on this particular target. Spiritual awareness doesn't always translate into profit, but does provide substantive alternatives to being simply focused on physical existence and profit generating self-value observations of the mammon addicted information techies. Apparently the churches and the religious houses have dropped the ball in this regard and refused to openly challenge this social media addiction. Probably something about don't bite the hand that feeds you. "Money changers" comes to my mind.

Ezra Pound was involved in a Mussolini operation aimed at US troops. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ezra_Pound%27s_radio_broadcasts,_1941%E2%80%931945#:~:text=The%20expatriate%20American%20poet%20Ezra,expressed%20support%20for%20Adolf%20Hitler.
