Psyops is not 'synchromysticism.'
It is subtle and veiled to accomplish both subliminal effects and plausible deniability.
It is a combination of:
> military doctrines - psyops, counterinsurgency, stability operations, etc.
> neuroscience - memory reinforcement or interference
> social science - cultural transmission, support of role models and stereotypes, etc.
> marketing game theory - grabbing market share of hearts and minds

When Gaetano Fonzi is the lead JFK investigator for the House Select Committee on assassinations scrutinizing the 'magic bullet' theory signed off by FBI ballistics expert, Courtland Cunningham...and the sit-com viewing public is given "Fonzi" and the "Cunninghams" on 'Happy Days' plus "Dallas" and "who shot J.R."...is this just the 'universe winking at us?
Or is this real human beings writing decoy psyops scripts to protect the US government?
Maybe ask your magic teapot!

I don't know which one is the magic one, or maybe I would. It would make about as much sense as your theories about Oswald in the Middle, etc .. I dunno.
Use of decoys is an ancient military tactic.
I do believe that the government is engaged in psyops via mainstream media, I just don't think it goes on the way you propose it does.
There is so much more the PTB could do to manipulate the public through mass media than the weak synchromystical connotative coincidences you find so stimulating.
There are many ways that gov't agents do psyops.
Using priming in entertainment is just one of them.
This is why I find your efforts on here misguided at best, and functionally disinfo even if there is no such intent on your part.
Straw man. Psyops is many faceted, not either or.
Lots of people know we are lied to by Operation Mockingbird news readers and their corporate allies.
But very few know how entertainment is scripted to prime the audience with bias and as culture-jamming counterpropaganda using the same tactics as advertising to grab a market share of 'hearts and minds.'
That's what I've studied to open that field up.
I mean ... come on. 'Happy Days' and 'Dallas' came on over a decade after JFK died.
January 1974, a mid-season replacement show. Timing.
Good old FBI Courtland
Cunningham was coming back into play after helping to falsely frame-up Lee Harvey Oswald in front of the Warren Commission.
Because the cover-up of faked ballistics by LAPD head criminologist, DeWayne Wolfer, in the 1968 Robert Kennedy murder case was coming apart very badly from 1971-1975 with a special surge right when 'Happy Days' went on the air.
Wolfer was exposed as a fraud when he got kicked upstairs in 1971 and his record of faking evidence in 1967 came out. An honest criminologist, William Harper, checked Wolfer's work on the RFK case and found extreme fraud.
Then a documentary film called 'The Second Gun' by someone who was at the RFK shooting, Theodore Charach, was playing in theaters in October 1973.
January 1974, 'Happy Days' is inserted into the schedule.
Later in 1974 LA councilman, Ward Baxter, pushed for a new RFK inquiry.
Courtland Cunningham was brought in to cover Wolfer's lying ass.
Just as he had for the JFK murder.
That's just in LA.
Then as the Pike and Church Committee's dug into CIA assassinations, the role of 'Fonzie' on 'Happy Days' was significantly increased for that season.
Timing. The show changed from being all about Richie Cunningham to being the 'Fonzie' show.
Gaeton Fonzi had face-to-face ripped apart Arlen Spector's 'magic bullet' story that Courtland Cunningham had helped sell in Warren Commission testimony. Gaeton Fonzi did this in 1967 newpapers when the Garrison vs Shaw prosecution had just gone public. Now his nemesis, FBI Courtland Cunningham, was back on the field. And Gaeton Fonzi was, too.
Pretty good time to create positive associations with the name "Cunningham" with all growed-up squeaky clean "Opie" and family and competing associations with "Fonzi", isn't it?
Timing. Many other CIA/JFK decoys were embedded in 'Happy Days,' including the title which came from a CIA attempt to discredit a foreign leader with a fake porn film called...'Happy Days.'
And many other tv shows and movies were created as decoys of the CIA's many crimes, not just 'Happy Days.'
How many citizens thirteen years later remembered or gave a shit who the ballistic expert's name was? If anything, they associated the theory with Arlen Specter ...
Who'd ever heard of Fonzi - he was a minor character in the HSCA investigation, not listed as a member, etc - and when he did become known, it was for writing a book about how the whole investigation was a sham, and the CIA was involved in the assassination.
See above.
Why would the CIA want to put all that time and effort just to paint his name with connotations of the coolest dude on TV?
Same as advertising. Same reason Coke and Pepsi advertise, to get market share.
The idea is to create competing associations with keywords and memes that are a threat to power using mnemonics. Priming.
Fictionalizing reality does this. Then even more priming can be applied to do negative or positive framing of people, behaviors, values, or entities.
Now, if I was you, I'd be looking for a hijacking of Fonzi's name that made him look like a stupid buffoon .... hmmm ...
You mean like the figure of speech, "jump the shark?"
At first Fonzie was somewhat dark and threatening, an outsider, a...loner.
Hey-that's meme-reversal of what the real Gaeton Fonzi was exposing-that the 'lone gunman' was a cover story.
See 'interference theory' and the 'similarity paradox' related to memory recall. That's some neuroscience research for you to do.
Another attribute of the fictional Fonz was that he made things happen by just snapping his fingers. He shaped the world to meet his needs.
This is another meme-reversal of the real world investigator uncovering facts to expose a manufactured cover story.
Later, the fictional Fonzie became self-satire by "jumping the shark."
And now that phrase for "ridiculously unbelievable" is attached to the name "Fonzie."
Mission accomplished.
