A partially declassified CIA document dated 17January 1958 stated “it may be that subliminal projection can be utilized in such a way as to feature a visual suggestion such as obey”. Author and activist Martin A. Lee, in an interview printed in the February 1980 issue of High Times magazine, quoted an anonymous CIA agent as saying “Some thought was given to whether or not we could affect political outcomes by using subliminal perception on TV and Radio”.
