CIA/MI6/BNDetc. media control teams have had their "versificator" song ghostwriting teams in place since the 1950s ,to control the thoughts and feelings of the masses, and plant signals to future covert operations and psy-ops.

The versificator is a fictional device employed by Ingsoc in the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell.
Its primary purpose is to act as a 'writing machine', a machine which produces both literature and music, its primary target audience being the proles.
The purpose of the versificator is to provide a means of producing 'creative' output without having any of the party members having to actually engage in a creative thought. The versificator is capable of producing newspapers, containing content similar to that found in modern day tabloid, featuring stories concerning sports, crime and astrology. The machine is also capable of producing films, low quality paperback novels, and music, of a sort.
Orwell clearly meant the versificator as a commentary on the quality of low culture and its ultimate effect.[citation needed] The metaphor of the factory or the production line commonly appears in discussions of mass-distributed culture.
Similar machines appear in the "Down There", a bleak dystopian short story by Damon Knight and in The Silver Eggheads by Fritz Leiber. The latter novel describes a future in which machines generate "wordwooze" in order to amuse the populace.
