Mad Men - Conspiracy clues from the 60's and 70's hidden in plain sight.

So, I just watched every season of this show in the past two months or so.

I noticed there are SO many references to many events--to which we now seriously question, of course. We NOW identify these as conspiracies, and I found it really interesting seeing the events depicted on the series. They left clues.

To name just a few:

Kennedy assassination.

Holocaust.

Death of MLK.

Vietnam war.

Feminism.

There are others, too.

It got me thinking.



These advertising agencies did alot of psychological research. I think the research was used to see how Americans would react to certain events, ie. the assassination of their president, Lee Harvey Oswald, MLK, etc.

Television has been SUCH a huge factor in terms of what Americans believe to be true. I find it incredibly ironic that a TV show about TV advertising leaves us clues about how we were subjected to propaganda during 60-70's via the TV.


I'm going to try and find some Youtube clips of the program, that hint about some of these conspiracy-related events, and hopefully, ya'll can tell me what you think.


Thanks.


Okay, here is a scene where Ginsberg (a jewish copywriter recently hired by Don) talks about the Holocaust, and the death of his family, etc. He says he is from Mars.

I thought it was quite strange. I'll find some more. This show is riddled with stuff like this.
