“The primary nexus between government and social science is an economic one,” wrote Albert Biderman and Elisabeth Crawford. In the first decade after World War II, the decade in which communications studies crystallized into a distinct academic field, propaganda and intelligence agencies and the military provided major funding for the field.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) reported that in 1952 that over 96 percent of all reported funding for social science came from the U.S. military. Many millions were spent annually on phone number list communications research at BASR, the Institute for Social Research, NORPC, the Bureau of Social Science Research, the RAND Corporation and CENIS. Private money also came from the Ford, Rockefeller and Russell Sage Foundations. Nelson Rockefeller served as Eisenhower's principal advisor and strategist for psychological operations during 1954-55.
Networks of communication scientists naturally developed as funding for this niche in academia built their foundations. The intrinsic links between the black ops side of the science, the elite financiers and the willing recipients in academia created a dominant paradigm, which manifested itself as a paradigm of dominance.
