In reply to the discussion: Alex Jones loses it: Harry Reid staged ‘false flag’ Vegas shooting with MK-ULTRA mind control [View all]DirkGently
(12,151 posts)29. Rather than just throw it down, I thought I'd expand on
the idea a bit. Sometimes a pat term, however, accurate, doesn't convey enough.
But of course it's worth doing both.
Here's the Daily Kos post you referenced, or a similar one:
Stochastic terrorism is the use of mass communications to stir up random lone wolves to carry out violent or terrorist acts that are statistically predictable but individually unpredictable.
This is what occurs when Bin Laden releases a video that stirs random extremists halfway around the globe to commit a bombing or shooting.
This is also the term for what Beck, O'Reilly, Hannity, and others do. And this is what led directly and predictably to a number of cases of ideologically-motivated murder similar to the Tucson shootings.

None of the above. Alex Jones is a RW maniac who is a danger to the public. He fits the classic
