America's natal Mercury is in Moon-ruled Cancer giving us as a people intuitive capabilities, and deep interests in family matters; Pluto is ruled by structural, status quo, restricting Saturn which shows our national obsession with struggling for recognition, power, wealth, and independence.
Mercury/Pluto in opposition is a cosmic prescription for anxiety and denotes behind-the-scenes control of what we see, hear, read, and think (mind control, along with eugenics, genetic manipulation, and cloning); bossy, nosy Big Brother really moved in on us to stay during the 1930s around the time that Pluto was discovered on February 18, 1930, and in the years leading up to the 1930s including the research and practices of Drs. Freud and Jung during their heydays.
Astrodatabank has an image with details of the horoscope for Pluto's Discovery @ 17Can45 Rx, Flagstaff, Arizona, if you're interested. Pluto's Heliocentric North Node is around 20Can nowadays but was closer to discovery degree in 1930.

2004 "The Choice" 2004 attack ad - Bush Jr. Campaign
[text] When it’s finally quiet, here’s the choice. President Bush and his Congressional allies: Strong leadership to protect America, tax relief, common sense healthcare, strengthen and protect social security. John Kerry and his liberal allies: Higher taxes, voting to tax social security benefits, government run health care, a record of slashing intelligence, and reckless defense cuts. Alone in the booth, why take the risk? "The Choice" [video] http://www.youtube.com/...
George Lakoff, professor of Cognitive Science and Linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley and one of America's foremost linguists, credits NLP methods specifically as being responsible for significant Republican voter influence and perception modification in the 1990's, citing three instances in his books. http://en.wikipedia.org/...

It's no coincidence that the most psychologically effective ad that the Bush campaign used in 2004 wasn't the wolf ad (that was #2) but one that had two specific NLP-based posthypnotic suggestions embedded into it, telling people that "in the quiet" and "when you're alone in the voting booth" that they "can't take the risk" of voting for Kerry. It looked like a simple check-list ad, but was saved for the last minute and played so heavily because it was so psychologically sophisticated and potent." A USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll shows a remarkable turnaround in 17 battleground states where polls and historic trends indicate the race will be close, and where the Bush campaign has aired TV ads - " The Choice." Those ads say Bush has provided "steady leadership in times of change" while portraying Kerry as a tax-hiking, flip-flopping liberal. The ads have been one factor in wiping away an inflated lead Kerry held in those states. In a survey taken in mid-February, Kerry led Bush by 28 percentage points in those states, 63% to 35%. Now Bush leads Kerry in them by six points, 51% to 45%. In contrast, there has been much less volatility in states where the ads haven’t aired.

Willie Horton 1988 Attack Ad - Bush Sr. Campaign
"The Willie Horton ads, for example, used an old NeuroLinguistic Programming (NLP) technique of "Anchoring via Submodalities," linking Dukakis, at an unconscious level in the viewer’s mind, to Willie Horton by the use of color versus black-and-white footage, and background sound. After a few exposures to these psy-ops ads, people would 'feel' Willie Horton when they 'saw' Dukakis." [text]

Anchoring -
is an NLP term which means conditioned response Anchoring is a neuro-linguistic programming term for the process of memory recall, state change or other responses associated with (anchored to) some stimulus, in such a way that perception of the stimulus (the anchor) leads by reflex to the anchored response occurring.
The stimulus may be quite neutral or even out of conscious awareness, and the response may be either positive or negative. They are capable of being formed and reinforced by repeated stimuli, and thus are analogous to classical conditioning.
Dog Whistle Politics: Is a type of political speech using code words that appear to mean one thing to the general population but have a different meaning for a targeted part of the audience.
- Classical conditioning, aka Pavlovian conditioning, is a form of learning that was first demonstrated by Ivan Pavlov 1927. - Wiki

Dog-Whistle Politics - Wiki
Dog-whistle politics puts out a message that, like a high-pitched dog-whistle, is only fully audible to those at whom it is directly aimed.
President George W. Bush and Karl Rove used coded "dog-whistle" language in political campaigning, delivering one message to the overall electorate while at the same time delivering quite a different message to a targeted evangelical Christian political base.
One group of code words in the United States is claimed to appeal to racism of the intended audience. The phrase "states' rights", although literally referring to powers of individual state governments in the United States, was described by David Greenberg in Slate as "code words" for institutionalized segregation and racism.
