Soft power in politics (particularly international politics) is the ability to co-opt rather than coerce (in contrast with hard power). It involves shaping the preferences of others through appeal and attraction. Soft power is non-coercive, using culture, political values, and foreign policies to enact change. In 2012, Joseph Nye of Harvard University explained that with soft power, "the best propaganda is not propaganda," further explaining that during the Information Age, "credibility is the scarcest resource"[1].

The Lancet, one of the world's more respected peer-reviewed medical science journals is censored, with popular article pulled from a rigorous study and review of many other cases. They show that 74 per cent of sudden deaths can be attributed to the Covid-19 vaccine, a killer experiment foisted on all of us, rushed by an "emergency authorization act" that means no one is allowed to sue the Big Pharma corporations who made, sold, and profited from these pharmacological (pharmakos = allopathic sorcery) poisons. We were lied to by Dr. Anthony Fauci and many others in the pharmaceutical industry and in government, NPR and other boosters and promoters supporting government lies and propaganda.

Yoohoo, Netanyahu! Shoot US missiles this way.
Norway, Ireland, and Spain said they are recognizing a Palestinian state in a historic move that drew condemnation [outrage, anger, hurt, fury] and plans for exacting revenge] from [and by genocidal] Israel and jubilation from the Palestinians [who are currently being tortured and exterminated].
(THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, May 22, 2024)
Spain, Ireland, and Norway said Wednesday (May 22) that they would recognize a Palestinian state on May 28, 2024, a step toward a long-held Palestinian aspiration to be recognized as an official state.
This has come amid international outrage over Israel's war crimes, atrocities, and crimes against humanity in indiscriminately killing civilian and alleged combatants in waves of collective punishment.
The death toll and humanitarian crisis Israel is causing by its offensive in the Gaza Strip is inexcusable in spite of Israel’s propaganda and psyops campaign amid sits offensive attacks and escalations.
The almost simultaneous decisions by two European Union countries and Norway may generate momentum for the recognition of a Palestinian state by other EU countries and could spur further steps at the United Nations, deepening warmongering colonial Israel’s isolation.
Currently, seven member of the 27-nation European Union officially recognize a Palestinian state. Five of them are former east bloc countries who announced recognition in 1988, as did Cyprus, before joining the bloc.
Sweden announced recognition in 2014.
The Czech Republic, an EU member, says that the 1988 recognition by the former Czechoslovakia — of which it then formed a part — does not apply to the modern state.
Slovakia’s Foreign Ministry says that the two sides confirmed their recognition as Slovakia was becoming independent in 1992-93, and that the Palestinian state has a fully-functioning embassy in Bratislava since 2006. More

PATTAYA, Thailand – Thailand has declared a state of emergency in the town where a summit of Asian leaders was supposed to be held after protesters stormed the venue. The meeting has been canceled.

Thai Prime Abhisit Vejjajiva declared the emergency Saturday after protesters demanding his ouster smashed the glass doors of the summit venue and swarmed the building. Government spokesman Supachai Jaisamuth said the situation was "too violent" for the meeting to take place.
