It has become repetitive and worthless to say that the major powers no longer use force to occupy another country for any reason.. We all know that the occupation in itself is no longer a goal, but what really matters is influencing and controlling capabilities, robbing the country's decision and manipulating it to achieve interests. influencer. In the past, states used to directly interfere through their forces and military weight, to bring a regime loyal or close to them, after they removed the previous regime, or to discipline the regime itself, and make it obedient and friendly to the demands and conditions it wanted, and conditions that it could impose.. benefit the country or no matter. Secondary, what matters is what the occupier wants.
Because of the high losses in lives and money, and the coup of public opinion in the country of the occupation itself against these wars, and as happened in many countries .. the colonial thought turned, to use the siege and economic subjugation, even if this led to the destruction of the target people, the end always justifies the means for politicians The big countries...and the small ones as well.
Later, because of the rise in the bill of the economy paper and its impact on both sides, they became interfaces, resorted to in cases where it is not possible to use second methods to influence and return to the fold of obedience... Are there other ways?!
Governments depend, in the continuation of their executive programs, on the support of institutions and ministries and the implementation of the predetermined program, but this application needs a public opinion that is convinced of the program and supports its implementation. The public and society are the real tools for its implementation, and they are the beneficiaries of it.. How can a program succeed that they do not accept or interact with.
This public opinion has become the most dangerous weapon that all countries, institutions and entities are trying to control or manipulate and co-opt.. because it will allow the influencer to achieve what he wants from the target country or community, without losing a single soldier, and all that is required is a clever exploitation of a circumstance. The country is going through it with a target, and there is popular discontent or part of it over an issue or situation, and sufficient funds and clients who are good at buying debts... and debts that can be purchased. These receivables are not useful for ordinary individuals, but must be for personalities or entities, who have influence and are acceptable to the public, or at least layers of it.. And this acceptability can be achieved through professional marketing, intelligence, media, intelligence, which begins with a relatively long period preceding the event. To make that character or entity for him.
The opinion-making game begins, with reports on specific satellite channels that are far from the heart of the topic and do not touch it except in a hidden way.. and scattered publications here and there, to polish these personalities and market them in preparation for them, and create fake followers to lure real others, and the more religious their culture is, the better, to make it easier to deceive them The goal is achieved through them. When the event occurs, they take charge of igniting matters and directing them where they are intended, pushing the arena towards collision and uncontrolled emotions, and then the ability to withdraw from the arena, to let things take their expected and planned course. These events are not necessarily completely artificial, as many of the events of the Arab Spring, for example, were natural movements of peoples against tyranny, injustice and rampant corruption, but the transformations of events were directed and completely controlled... towards the drawn agenda..
We must not forget that the person who fabricated an event or manipulated the direction of the event can easily cancel what he created or redirect it again, according to what his interests and plans deem fit, or what he will gain.
