I have heard of the Tavistock Institute, but will look into the Frankfurter Schule and Neil Sanders. It's strange isn't it, people will freely accept that marketing companies will employ think tanks to get into our psyche, in order to get us to buy, but won't make the inevitable leap, to realise, that are governments would do exactly the same to influence our thinking. For example....the famous comedy 'Yes Minister' was the brainchild of the Tory party, design to deflect blame, and instill a sense of powerlessness.....it worked beautifully.
