Public diplomacy in Israel (also hasbara) (Hebrew: הסברה) refers to public relations efforts to disseminate information about Israel. The term is used by the Israeli government and its supporters to describe efforts to explain government policies and promote Israel in the face of what they consider negative press about Israel around the world. Others view hasbara as a euphemism for propaganda. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Decline of America's Soft Power
Anti-Americanism has increased in recent years, and the United States' soft power -- its ability to attract others by the legitimacy of U.S. policies and the values that underlie them -- is in decline as a result. According to Gallup International polls, pluralities in 29 countries say that Washington's policies have had a negative effect on their view of the United States. A Eurobarometer poll found that a majority of Europeans believes that Washington has hindered efforts to fight global poverty, protect the environment, and maintain peace. Such attitudes undercut soft power, reducing the ability of the United States to achieve its goals without resorting to coercion or payment. | Foreign Affairs
"Soft Power -The Means to Success in World Politics"
Common media for transmitting propaganda messages include news reports, government reports, books, leaflets, movies, radio, television, and posters. In the case of radio and television, propaganda can exist on news, current-affairs or talk-show segments, as advertising or public-service announce "spots" or as long-running advertorials. Propaganda campaigns often follow a strategic transmission pattern to indoctrinate the target group. This may begin with a simple transmission such as a leaflet dropped from a plane or an advertisement. Generally these messages will contain directions on how to obtain more information, via a web site, hot line, radio program, etc. (as it is seen also for selling purposes among other goals). The strategy intends to initiate the individual from information recipient to information seeker through reinforcement, and then from information seeker to opinion leader through indoctrination.
Social Media: "Soft Power" in the War on Terror
"Soft Power -The Means to Success in World Politics"
The most widely held definition of power as the capacity to do things and to affect the behavior of others to make those things happen. A distinguished foreign policy scholar, Joseph Nye has expanded this definition of power. Nye states that power is the ability to influence the behavior of others to accomplish the outcomes one wants. Nye is currently the Dean of the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard, the former Chairman of the National Intelligence Council and former Assistant Secretary of Defense in the Clinton administration. When Nye first coined the term “soft power” in Bound to Lead (1990), he pointed out that the U.S. was the strongest nation not only in military and economic terms, but also in its capacity to influence other nations to identify U.S. interests as their own.Soft power - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The phrase was coined by Joseph Nye of Harvard University in a 1990 book, Bound to Lead: The Changing Nature of American Power. He further developed the concept in his 2004 book, Soft Power: The Means to Success in World Politics. The term is now widely used in international affairs by analysts and statesmen. For example, in 2007, Chinese President Hu Jintao told the 17th Communist Party Congress that China needed to increase its soft power, and the US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates spoke of the need to enhance American soft power by "a dramatic increase in spending on the civilian instruments of national security -- diplomacy, strategic communications, foreign assistance, civic action and economic reconstruction and development." In 2010 Annette Lu, former vice-president of Taiwan, visited South Korea and advocated Taiwan's use of soft power as a model for the resolution of international conflicts.Propaganda techniques - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The mass manipulated Black self perception
The self-perceptions of Black people are being covertly negatively shaped by white elites. -
“Reality is merely an illusion, although a very persistent one.”
– Albert Einstein
The perceptions of black people are being covertly negatively shaped by White elites to ensure the continuance of white dominance and control. It is a very sophisticated racist system that is much less public and obvious than the overt methods used in the past--yet it is unprecedentedly more harmfully proficient. With a strong prevailing history of slavery in the United States, racism has always been an issue. This engrained societal problem of racism has always necessitated that America’s white elites develop and implement racist systems to defend and maintain their positions of white dominance. As seen where of which after the abolition of slavery different forms of segregation were implemented including Jim Crow laws and the later American political structures which invited extreme segregation within many cities across the nation. However as overt and obvious racial discrimination became morally unacceptable and illegal it became necessary to develop more sophisticated less apparent covert methods.
Because the past, blatant methods used for ensuring the continuance of White dominance from the reconstruction period through the 1960's had become morally and socially unacceptable this required that America’s White elites develop a more sophisticated and stealthy method—a design better suited for changing times.
Today Black people are unknowingly the victims of a very sophisticated covert racist program. This new method is far more sophisticated than the overtly racist methods used in the past. Its methods includes both the ability to create a national climate that is insensitive to the plight of African Americans and produce psychological feelings among African Americans that makes them more compliance to white dominance.
The U.S. media’s racially devaluing depictions and distorted portrayal of Black America that amplifies the negative to the point that it distorts reality is a deliberately designed racist ideological subversion program. This subversion program disseminates false deplorably racially devaluing statistics and propaganda about America’s Black population as a means of defending and maintaining America’s position of white dominance. Today what are often deemed as being credible news sources are often totally made up stories made to push an agenda or meet a governmental objective.
This present system uses the national media's proven ability to mass manipulate and socially engineer society through the usage mass media propaganda techniques. Its constant deplorably negative depictions of African Americans- that subjects them to seeing only the fraudulent worst in themselves- is designed to corrupts their sense of racial black unity and cohesion, mold the character of self-hatred, engender self-doubt, self-loathing, and distrust among their group; and insinuate that Blacks admire, respect, and trust only Whites. It also drills the message that Blacks are powerless, of lesser moral, and intelligence and that they need whites to govern over their lives. Its unrelenting daily assault on the Black psyche is designed to adversely manipulate and shape the minds and collective consciousness of America’s Black population. The main motto of this mass manipulation program is to divide and conquer and it works by affecting the unconscious mind through deception.
Furthermore it totally detaches African Americans from their sense of power and reality. And it also facilitates a national setting that is insensitive to their plight and that fosters a consensual national setting of where in which they are more easily mistreated, exploited and ultimately suppressed.
When most people hear the term of psychological manipulation they usually think in terms of the classic "conspiracy theory" that refers to overt mind control such as mind altering drugs with carefully hypnotic programming. However, the real and true dangers are the well proven methods of affecting the unconscious mind by using deception, and psychological manipulation. It is neither magical nor mystical, but a process of manipulation that works by affecting the unconscious mind through deception. It uses the psychology of deceit to adversely affect the recipient group in terms of their behavior.
Here is a simplified example of how this is being implemented against African Americans. Let us, for example, imagine that a crew of people was aboard their own massive ship and that this ship was being followed by another neighboring ship that was constantly broadcasting derogatory messages to the first group. Such messages as that their ship was lesser, smaller, not seaworthy, perhaps slowly sinking or that their crew was incompetent and was planning a mutiny. With time, the group receiving the negative messages, being unable to refute or to confirm these derogatory messages of their deficiencies will grow weary and paranoid of the negative messages and will eventually comes to accept these negative assessments of themselves. The perception created by the taunting now unconsciously influences how the taunted group perceives themselves, subsequently causing them to become distrustful of themselves, doubting themselves, hating themselves and, eventually, fighting among themselves. The taunted group may even become so besieged by deep feelings of inadequacy that they may even jump into the sea and attempt to swim towards the taunting ship now believing it to be superior to their own ship even if their own ship was in fact better. The basis of this concept of mind manipulation is that the human being's most critical aspect is the mind and it works by affecting the mind through deception. The ultimate goal of this method of psychological manipulation is to divide and conquer and it works by affecting the unconscious mind through deception.
In regards to African Americans this mortifying psychosocial treatment is precisely what is being deliberately done through an immense campaign of false derogatory misinformation and false negative media reports and statistics [that are totally comprised by white sources] that intentionally subjects them to seeing only the fraudulently worst in themselves.
