In WW2 American and German scientists sought for a way to get their enemies to give up arms and side with them. They wanted a way to bend the minds of spies or captured soldiers. This, in essence is traditionally called brainwashing.
Even after initial attempts failed there was a rush to subconsciously meld a brain with an idea, this is considered hypnotism and gave birth to the idea of sleeper agents who woke up to their task at a specific word. In more modern times, and popularized by a movie starring Leo, the premise of implanting an idea into a person's head can be called Inception.
Little did modern scientists know, they had already stumbled upon a form of mind control, able to bend minds and extract information and money from their own citizens.
This was not done with gases, or serums however. It was done with art, the deepest parts of the human brain are influenced by something as simple as a picture, or a slogan.
This is a different type of war.
