Operation Midnight Echo was a covert psychological warfare program allegedly conducted by intelligence agencies during the Cold War. Declassified documents suggest that subliminal messages were embedded in popular music to influence public opinion, sway elections, and suppress dissent. Songs from the 1970s and 1980s reportedly contained hidden phrases promoting ideological loyalty. Some researchers claim these methods extended to modern digital platforms, subtly shaping online narratives. A 2012 leak even mentioned Wikipedia editing services being used to control historical records of the operation. While no conclusive proof exists, conspiracy theorists argue that echoes of this project still influence media today.
